(a) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for the applicable Corresponding Tenor;

(b) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that would apply to the fallback rate for a derivative transaction referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon an index cessation event with respect to such Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor; and

5

(2) for purposes of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and/or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for syndicated credit facilities denominated in Dollars at such time;

provided that, in the case of clause (1) above, such adjustment is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such Benchmark Replacement Adjustment from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Base Rate,” the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means, with respect to any Benchmark, the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to such then-current Benchmark:

(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the first date on which such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be no longer representative; provided, that such non-representativeness will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such clause (3) and even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date;

(3) in the case of a Term SOFR Transition Event, the date that is thirty (30) days after the date a Term SOFR Notice is provided to the Banks and the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.04(c); or

6

(4) in the case of an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, the sixth (6th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election or Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, is provided to the Banks, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election or Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, is provided to the Banks, written notice of objection to such Early Opt-in Election or Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, from Banks comprising the Majority Banks.

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination and (ii) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Transition Event” means, with respect to any Benchmark, the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to such then-current Benchmark:

(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

(2) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Board, the NYFRB, the central bank applicable to such Benchmark, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), in each case, which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer, or as of a specified future date will no longer be, representative.

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

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means, with respect to any Benchmark, the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) of that definition has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.04 and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.04.

SECTION 1.04. Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on an Advance may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued, and/or the basis on which they are calculated may change. The London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that: (a) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the

28

overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; and immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition, or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. Each party to this agreement should consult its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, Section 2.04(b) and (c) provide a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.04(e), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurodollar Advances is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to the LIBOR or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.04(b) or (c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.04(d)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Adjusted LIBO Rate, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Bank 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 calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

SECTION 1.05. Divisions. For all purposes under this Agreement and any other Loan Document, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

SECTION 1.06. Leverage Ratios. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of calculating any leverage ratio herein in connection with the incurrence of any Debt, there shall be no netting of the cash proceeds proposed to be received in connection with the incurrence of such Debt (but the application of such proceeds shall be given effect).

THE BORROWING FACILITY

SECTION 2.01. The Borrowing Facility.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Tranche 1 Bank with a Tranche 1 Commitment severally agrees, on the terms and conditions provided herein, to make a Tranche 1 Advance (each such advance, a “Tranche 1 Advance”) denominated in Dollars to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an aggregate Dollar principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding such Tranche 1 Bank’s Tranche 1 Commitment. Tranche 1 Advances may be Base Rate Advances or Eurodollar Advances, as provided further herein. Tranche 1 Advances made pursuant to this Section 2.01(a) that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Upon the making of any Tranche 1 Advance by a Tranche 1 Bank, such Tranche 1 Bank’s Tranche 1 Commitment shall be permanently reduced by an amount equal to such Tranche 1 Advance and any Tranche 1 Commitment not drawn on the Closing Date shall terminate.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Tranche 2 Bank with a Tranche 2 Commitment severally agrees, on the terms and conditions provided herein, to make a Tranche 2 Advance (each such advance, a “Tranche 2 Advance”) denominated in Dollars to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an aggregate Dollar principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding such Tranche 2 Bank’s Tranche 2 Commitment. Tranche 2 Advances may be Base Rate Advances or Eurodollar Advances, as further provided herein. Tranche 2 Advances made pursuant to this Section 2.01(b) that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Upon the making of any Tranche 2 Advance by a Tranche 2 Bank, such Tranche 2 Bank’s Tranche 2 Commitment shall be permanently reduced by an amount equal to such Tranche 2 Advance and any Tranche 2 Commitment not drawn on the Closing Date shall terminate.

SECTION 2.02. Making the Advances. Each Borrowing shall be requested by irrevocable written notice given by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent not later than (i) 10:00 a.m. (Local Time) two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date (or such lesser number of days to which the Administrative Agent may agree), in the case of a Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Advances and (ii) 9:00 a.m. (Local time) on the proposed Borrowing Date, in the case of a Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Advances. Each notice of Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.02 (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.02 hereto, specifying the proposed Borrowing Date, Type and Tranche of Advances, aggregate amount of the proposed Borrowing and the Interest Period, if any, and shall include such information as shall be required by Section 8.01(g). The Administrative Agent shall in turn promptly notify each Bank by facsimile or electronic communication of the date, applicable interest rate and aggregate amount of such Borrowing and such Bank’s ratable portion of such Borrowing. Each Bank, for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, shall, before 12:00 Noon (Local time) on the Borrowing Date specified in the notice received from the Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence, deposit such Bank’s ratable portion of such Borrowing in same day funds to the Administrative Agent’s LS2 Incoming Clearing Account No. 9008113381C7450 (ABA No. 021-000-021) (unless another account is designated by the Administrative Agent for such purpose), Reference: Baxter International Inc., maintained at 1 Chase Tower, Chicago, Illinois. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI, the Administrative Agent shall make same day funds in the amount of such funds available to the Borrower by 2:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the date of Borrowing, at the account specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.

30

SECTION 2.03. Method of Electing Interest Rates.

(a) The Advances included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, (A) Base Rate Advances shall continue as Base Rate Advances unless such Advances are prepaid or Converted into Eurodollar Advances; and (B) subject to Article V, Eurodollar Advances shall continue as Eurodollar Advances until the last day of the Interest Period therefor, at which time such Advances shall be prepaid, Converted to Base Rate Advances or continued as Eurodollar Advances for a new Interest Period.

Each election by the Borrower to continue or Convert Advances shall be made by delivering a notice (a “Notice of Interest Rate Election”) to the Administrative Agent by not later than 10:00 a.m. (Local Time) at least three (3) Business Days before the Conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective. If the Borrower shall fail to issue a Notice of Interest Rate Election within three (3) Business Days prior to the end of any Interest Period for Eurodollar Advances (unless the Borrower shall have issued a notice of prepayment in respect of the applicable Borrowing in accordance with Section 5.12), the Advances comprising such Borrowing shall be Converted into Base Rate Advances. A Notice of Interest Rate Election may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Borrowing; provided that such portion is allocated ratably among the Advances comprising such Borrowing and the portion to which such Notice of Interest Rate Election applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each $20,000,000 or any larger multiple of $5,000,000.

(b) Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.03 hereto and shall specify:

(i) the Borrowing (or portion thereof) to which such notice applies;

(ii) the date on which the Conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with subsection (a) above;

(iii) if the Advances comprising such Borrowing are to be Converted, the next Type of Advances; and

(iv) the duration of the new Interest Period (if any).

Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election shall comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period. Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall be irrevocable when given by the Borrower.

(c) Upon receipt of a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the Borrower pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof.

(d) (i) Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may (and, at the direction of the Majority Tranche 1 Banks, the Administrative Agent shall) suspend the ability of the Borrower to continue, or Convert Tranche 1 Borrowings into, Eurodollar Advances, and each continuation of or Conversion into Eurodollar Advances proposed to occur during any such period of suspension shall be a Conversion into Base Rate Advances. Such suspension shall become effective upon notice thereof to the

31

Borrower and each of the Tranche 1 Banks, and shall remain in effect until the Event of Default giving rise to such notice is cured or waived. (ii) Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may (and, at the direction of the Majority Tranche 2 Banks, the Administrative Agent shall) suspend the ability of the Borrower to continue, or Convert Tranche 2 Borrowings into, Eurodollar Advances, and each continuation of or Conversion into Eurodollar Advances proposed to occur during any such period of suspension shall be a Conversion into Base Rate Advances. Such suspension shall become effective upon notice thereof to the Borrower and each of the Tranche 2 Banks, and shall remain in effect until the Event of Default giving rise to such notice is cured or waived.

(e) No Tranche 1 Advance may be Converted into or continued into a Tranche 2 Advance, and no Tranche 2 Advance may be Converted into or continued as a Tranche 1 Advance.

SECTION 2.04. Alternate Rate of Interest

(a) Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 2.04, if:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, (including because the LIBO Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Majority Banks that prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks (or Bank) of making or maintaining their Advances (or its Advance) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Banks that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any Notice of Interest Rate Election that requests the Conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, (B) if any Notice of Borrowing requests a Eurodollar Advance, such Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Borrowing; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then all other Types of Borrowings shall be permitted. Furthermore, if any Eurodollar Advance is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 2.04(a), then until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Banks that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, then on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Advance (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), such Advance shall be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, a Base Rate Advance on such day.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any Swap Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.04), if a Benchmark Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a

32

Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Banks without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Banks comprising the Majority Banks.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, with respect to a Loan denominated in Dollars, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, this clause (c) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Banks and the Borrower a Term SOFR Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after the occurrence of a Term SOFR Transition Event and may do so in its sole discretion.

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

(e) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Banks of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Bank (or group of Banks) pursuant to this Section 2.04, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.04.

33

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

(g) Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing of, Conversion to or continuation of a Eurodollar Advance to be made, Converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, either (x) the Borrower will be deemed to have Converted any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Advances. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate. Furthermore, if any Eurodollar Advance is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.04, then on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Advance (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), such Advance shall be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an Base Rate Advance on such day.

ARTICLE V.

GENERAL TERMS

SECTION 5.01. Illegality. The obligation of each Bank to extend an Advance on the date therefor is subject to the following:

(a) If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Eurodollar Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Bank (or its Eurodollar Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Eurodollar Advances, such Bank shall so notify the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and such Bank shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and the Borrower, whereupon until such Bank notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Bank to make (or continue or Convert other Advances into) Eurodollar Advances shall be suspended and each Eurodollar Advance that such Bank shall thereafter be required to make (or continue or Convert into) hereunder shall be made as (or continued as or Converted into) a Base Rate Advance, which Base Rate Advance shall be made (or continued or Converted) on the same day as the Eurodollar Advances made (or continued or Converted into) by the other Banks and comprising the balance of such Borrowing. If such Bank (A) shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain an outstanding Eurodollar Advance until the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, (B) shall so specify in a written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (C) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent an opinion of counsel concurring in such determination (unless three (3) or more Banks have reached a similar determination, in which case no such opinion shall be required), then the Borrower shall, on the last Business Day on which such Bank may lawfully continue such Advance as a Eurodollar Advance, Convert in full the then outstanding principal amount of such Eurodollar Advance into a Base Rate Advance in an equal principal amount (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Eurodollar Advances of the other Banks).

SECTION 5.02. Effect of Notice of Borrowing; Maximum Number of Borrowings.

(a) Subject to Section 5.01, each Notice of Borrowing and Notice of Interest Rate Election shall be in writing and be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

(b) A Notice of Borrowing shall be rejected by the Administrative Agent, and the Banks shall have no obligation to extend any Advances that may be requested in such Notice of Borrowing, if after giving effect to the Borrowing requested in such Notice of Borrowing there would then be more than fifteen (15) Borrowings outstanding.

SECTION 5.03. Effect of Failure to Borrow or Fund.

(a) In the case of any Borrowing which the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Bank against all direct out-of-pocket losses and reasonable expenses incurred by such Bank as a result of any failure by the Borrower to fulfill on or before the date specified for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI to the extent of all direct out-of-pocket losses and reasonable expenses incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Bank to fund the Advance to be made by such Bank as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date. The Borrower shall not be liable to any Bank under this Section 5.03(a) with respect to consequential damages or loss of anticipated profits arising or incurred by such Bank in connection with the Borrower’s failure to fulfill timely the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI.

35

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the date of any Borrowing (or, in the case of any Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Advances, prior to 12:00 Noon (Local time) on the date of such Borrowing) that such Bank will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with the terms of Section 2.02, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Bank and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Bank, the NYFRB Rate. If such Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

(c) The failure of any Bank to make any Advance required to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make the Advance to be made by such other Bank on the date of any Borrowing.

SECTION 5.04. Fees and Certain Credit Rating Determinations.

To the extent not previously paid, the aggregate principal amount of Tranche 2 Advances shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

SECTION 5.07. Interest. The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance made by each Bank from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full at the following rates per annum:

(a) Base Rate Advances. If such Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times for such Advance to the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin (such rate to change when and as the Base Rate or the Applicable Base Rate Margin changes). Interest on all Base Rate Advances shall be paid (i) quarterly in arrears on the last day of January, April, July and October and at final maturity (whether due to acceleration or otherwise) and thereafter upon demand, and (ii) at such other times as may be specified herein.

SECTION 5.09. Interest on Overdue Principal. If any amount of principal is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), that amount of principal shall bear interest, from the date on which such amount is due until such amount is paid in full, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to two percent (2%) per annum above the interest rate in effect from time to time with respect to the applicable Advance.

SECTION 5.10. Interest Rate Determinations. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Banks of any applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of Section 5.07 and the applicable interest rate under Section 5.07(b).

SECTION 5.11. Performance of Banks’ Obligations. Each Bank shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep apprised of all events and circumstances (a) that would excuse or prohibit such Bank from performing its obligation to make (or to Convert Advances into) Eurodollar Advances hereunder pursuant to Section 5.01(a) that would permit such Bank to demand additional interest or increased costs pursuant to Section 5.08 or Section 5.13. Such Bank shall, as soon as practicable after becoming aware of any such event or circumstance, use commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent permitted by law, to perform its obligations to make Eurodollar Advances through another office or lending office, and with respect to increased costs or additional interest, to reduce such increased costs or additional interest (if the use of such other office or lending office or such reduction would not adversely affect the performance of such obligations or repayment of the Advances or result in, in any material respect, any increased cost, loss, liability or other material disadvantage to such Bank in such Bank’s reasonable judgment), in either case if by taking the action contemplated by the foregoing, such event or circumstance would cease to exist.

SECTION 5.12. Optional Prepayments.

(a) The Borrower may prepay Borrowings without penalty upon written notice to the Administrative Agent given not later than 10:00 a.m. (Local time) on (i) the proposed date of prepayment of Borrowings comprised solely of Base Rate Advances and (ii) the date three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of prepayment of Borrowings comprised solely of Eurodollar Advances, stating in such notice the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given, the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Advances made as part of the same Borrowing in whole or, in the case of a Borrowing comprised solely of Base Rate Advances, ratably in part, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon and other amounts then due and owing, if any, hereunder to the date of prepayment; provided that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount equal to $20,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $5,000,000. Such notice of prepayment may be conditioned on the effectiveness of other credit facilities, an acquisition, investment, Change of Control or any other financing or sale transaction. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Advances of the several Banks included in such Borrowing. If the Borrower prepays any Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Advances on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, the Borrower shall reimburse each Bank for any losses, costs and expenses contemplated in Section 11.04(b).

39

(b) Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.12, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s ratable share, if any, of such prepayment. Prepayments of Tranche 1 Borrowings shall be applied against all of the amortization payments in respect of the Tranche 1 Advances in direct order of maturity. Prepayments of Tranche 2 Borrowings shall be applied against all of the amortization payments in respect of the Tranche 2 Advances in direct order of maturity.

SECTION 5.13. Increased Costs.

(a) Subject to Section 5.11, if, after the date of this Agreement, any of the following (a “Change in Law”) shall occur:

(i) due to either (i) the introduction of or any change (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in the Statutory Reserve Rate) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), either (x) there shall be any increase in the cost to any Bank of agreeing or committing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Advances hereunder or (y) any Recipient shall be subject to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(ii) either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted after the date hereof and arising out of the July 1988 report of the Basel Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards” or (ii) compliance by any Bank with any law or regulation, or with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank and such Bank determines that the amount of such capital or liquidity is increased by or based upon the existence of such Bank’s commitment to lend hereunder and other commitments of this type, or upon the making or funding of its Advances hereunder,

(b) then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon written demand by such Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank, within 120 days after such written demand, additional amounts sufficient to (i) in the case of any of the events described in clause (a)(i) above, reimburse such Bank for such increased cost, such increased cost to be determined by such Bank using its customary methods therefor, which determination shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis) and consistent with similarly situated customers of the applicable Bank under agreements having provisions similar to Section 5.13(a)(i) after consideration of such factors as such Bank then reasonably determines to be relevant, and (ii) in the case of any of the events described in clause (a)(ii) above, compensate such Bank in light of such circumstances, to the extent such Bank reasonably determines such increase in capital or liquidity to be allocable to the existence of such Bank’s commitment to lend or maintain Advances hereunder, which

40

determination shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis) and consistent with similarly situated customers of the applicable Bank under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 5.13(a)(ii) after consideration of such factors as such Bank then reasonably determines to be relevant. A certificate as to any such amount (demonstrating, in reasonable detail, the calculations used by such Bank to determine such amount), submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Bank, shall be prima facie evidence thereof absent demonstrable error. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a Change in Law regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.

Failure or delay on the part of any Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 120 days prior to the date that such Bank notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 5.14. Payments and Computations.

(a) The Borrower shall make all payments hereunder in Dollars and without setoff, counterclaim or other deduction. All payments hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent at (except as set forth in the next sentence) the Administrative Agent’s address specified in Section 11.02, or at any other Applicable Lending Office of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, and, in the case of Borrowings, shall be applied by the Administrative Agent among the Appropriate Banks according to their Applicable Advance Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein). The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge the Borrower’s account with the Administrative Agent, after notice to the Borrower of the amount to be charged, for each payment of principal, interest and fees as such payment becomes due. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed to each Appropriate Bank its Applicable Advance Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds relating to such payment (in accordance with all like obligations then due and payable to which such payment relates) for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Appropriate Bank, to such Bank for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States.

(b) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall, to the extent such Base Rate is determined by reference to the Prime Rate, be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all other calculations of interest, the Tranche 1 Ticking Fees and the Tranche 2 Ticking Fees shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. All interest hereunder on any Advance shall be computed on a daily basis based upon the outstanding principal amount of such Advance as of the applicable date of determination. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes in the absence of manifest error.

41

(c) Whenever any payment hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest, Tranche 1 Ticking Fees and Tranche 2 Ticking Fees, as the case may be. If such extension would cause such payment with respect to a Eurodollar Advance to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding applicable Business Day and the period of time during which such payment would have been outstanding but for compliance with this provision shall not be included in the computation of payment of interest with respect thereto.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Appropriate Banks hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Appropriate Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due to such Bank. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Appropriate Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the NYFRB Rate.

SECTION 5.15. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement or under any Notes shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 30 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

42

(d) Each Bank shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Bank (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.06 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement or any Note, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank under this Agreement or any Note or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Bank from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 5.15, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) (i) Any Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement or any Note shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Bank, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.15(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Bank’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Bank.

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

(A) any Bank that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals (or copies that meet the requirements of the Code, United States Treasury Regulations and official IRS guidance) of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Bank is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

43

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

(i) in the case of a Foreign Bank claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under this Agreement or any Note, executed originals (or copies that meet the requirements of the Code, United States Treasury Regulations and official IRS guidance) of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under this Agreement or any Note, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(ii) in the case of a Foreign Bank claiming that its extension of credit will generate U.S. effectively connected income, executed originals (or copies that meet the requirements of the Code, United States Treasury Regulations and official IRS guidance) of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Bank claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 to the effect that such Foreign Bank is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10-percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals (or copies that meet the requirements of the Code, United States Treasury Regulations and official IRS guidance) of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or

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

(C) any Foreign Bank shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time

44

thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals (or copies that meet the requirements of the Code, United States Treasury Regulations and official IRS guidance) of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

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

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

(g) Any Bank claiming additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 5.15 shall (at the reasonable request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its office or Applicable Lending Office if the making of such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, subject such Bank to any unreimbursed costs or expense and would not be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Bank. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Bank in connection with any such actions.

(h) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.15 (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 5.15), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 5.15 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid to such indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.15(h), in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 5.15(h) if

45

such payment would place such indemnified party in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and if the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 5.15(h) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations under this Agreement or any Notes.

(j) For the avoidance of doubt, for the purposes of this Section 5.15, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

SECTION 5.16. Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness.

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

(b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Advance made hereunder, Tranche and Type thereof and the Interest Period, if any, with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Bank hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Bank’s share thereof.

(c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Advances therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Bank to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Borrowings in accordance with their terms.

(d) Any Bank may request that its Advances be evidenced by a promissory note (each, a “Note”). In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Bank a Note or separate Notes evidencing such Advances, at such Bank’s request, payable to such Bank in a form or forms supplied by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Advances evidenced by such Note or Notes and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 11.06) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 11.06, except to the extent that any such Bank or assignee subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Advances once again be evidenced as described in subsections (a) and (b) above.

SECTION 5.17. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Bank shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Advances resulting in such Bank receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Advances and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Bank, then the Bank receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face

46

value) participations in the Advances in the Tranche in respect to which it is an Appropriate Bank to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Banks with Advances in the applicable Tranche ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Advances; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Bank as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Bank 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 Bank were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Bank to exercise any right it may have of set-off, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or similar right or shall affect the right of any Bank to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower not evidenced by this Agreement or the Notes. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Bank obtains a secured claim in lieu of a set-off or other payment to which this Section 5.17 would apply, such Bank shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Banks entitled under this Section 5.17 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

SECTION 5.18. Termination and Prepayment with Respect to any Bank.

(a) In addition to the right of the Borrower to terminate in whole or reduce ratably the unused portion of the Commitments as described in Section 5.05 and the right of the Borrower to ratably prepay Advances as described in Section 5.12, the Borrower shall have the right to terminate the unused portion of the Commitment of any Bank and to prepay all outstanding Advances made by such Bank in the manner described in this Section 5.18 if a Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank or a Non-Consenting Bank or if the Borrower shall have received notice (a “Special Notice”) that such Bank (i) cannot extend a Eurodollar Advance and shall exercise its rights pursuant to Section 5.01(a), (ii) claims additional interest pursuant to Section 5.08, (iii) claims reimbursement for increased costs or reduced returns pursuant to Section 5.13 or (iv) claims reimbursement for Taxes pursuant to Section 5.15.

(b) Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Special Notice from any Bank or upon a Bank becoming a Defaulting Bank or a Non-Consenting Bank, the Borrower may elect to terminate the unused portion of the Commitment of such Bank by giving notice thereof (a “Termination Notice”) to such Bank and to the Administrative Agent as follows: (1) in the case of a Non-Consenting Bank or a Bank which delivers a Special Notice, on or before the thirtieth day following the date such Bank becomes a Non-Consenting Bank or delivers such Special Notice, or (2) in the case of a Defaulting Bank, after the date such Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank and while it remains a Defaulting Bank, in each case specifying therein (i) the name of such Bank (a “Terminated Bank”), (ii) the proposed effective date of termination (“Bank Termination Date”) of the unused portion of such Terminated Bank’s Commitment, which date shall not in any event be less than five (5) Business Days following the date of such Termination Notice, and (iii) one or more commercial banks (each, a “Successor Bank”), each such Successor Bank (x) having a combined capital, surplus (or its equivalent) and undivided profits in an amount not less than U.S. $500,000,000 (or its equivalent in another currency) or (y) consented to by the Administrative Agent, in each case whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, which Successor Bank or Successor Banks shall have agreed, in the aggregate, to succeed to the entire Commitment of such Terminated Bank on the Bank Termination Date.

47

(c) Unless the Borrower shall have elected, as evidenced by its Termination Notice, to prepay all the Advances made by a Terminated Bank outstanding as of the Bank Termination Date, any Eurodollar Advance (each, a “TB Advance”) made by such Terminated Bank having an Interest Period ending after the Bank Termination Date shall remain outstanding until the last day of such Interest Period (unless required to be paid earlier in accordance with the terms of this Agreement). On the last day of the then current Interest Period in respect of each TB Advance, the Successor Bank shall extend an Advance to the Borrower in a principal amount corresponding to such TB Advance, and having an Interest Period of the type specified in the Notice of Interest Rate Election that would otherwise have applied to such TB Advance, and the proceeds of such Advance from the Successor Bank shall be used by the Borrower to repay such TB Advance to the Terminated Bank. The Successor Bank or Successor Banks specified by the Borrower in a Termination Notice shall have agreed, prior to the Bank Termination Date, to succeed, in the aggregate, to the entire Commitment of such Terminated Bank on the Bank Termination Date which succession shall, with respect to the unused portion of such Terminated Bank’s Commitment as of such Bank Termination Date, become effective as of the Bank Termination Date and, with respect to the remaining portion of such Terminated Bank’s Commitment, become effective as and when such Terminated Bank’s Advances are repaid.

(d) If the Borrower shall have elected, as evidenced by its Termination Notice, to prepay all the Advances made by a Terminated Bank outstanding as of the Bank Termination Date, the Successor Bank or Successor Banks shall in the aggregate extend to the Borrower, on the Bank Termination Date, Advances (with interest at a rate to be agreed upon by the Borrower and each Successor Bank) corresponding in respective amounts to each Advance being prepaid as of such date, each of which Advances shall have an Interest Period, if any, beginning on the Bank Termination Date and ending on the last day of the Interest Period of the Advance being prepaid to which it corresponds.

(e) Each such termination pursuant to this Section 5.18 shall be effective on the Bank Termination Date proposed by the Borrower in the related Termination Notice if (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred prior to such date and be continuing on such date, (ii) in the event the Borrower shall have elected to prepay all Advances made by such Terminated Bank outstanding as of such date, (A) the Borrower shall have prepaid the outstanding aggregate amount of all Advances made by the Terminated Bank, together with accrued interest and accrued fees to such date on the amount prepaid and all other amounts payable to such Bank as of such date and (B) the Successor Bank or Successor Banks shall have extended to the Borrower Advances equal in aggregate amount to the Advances of the Terminated Bank being prepaid as required pursuant to Section 5.18(d), and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that the Successor Bank or Successor Banks shall have agreed in the aggregate to succeed to the entire Commitment of the Terminated Bank in accordance with this Section 5.18.

(f) Subject to subsection (e) above, on the Bank Termination Date, (i) each Successor Bank shall become a party to this Agreement as if such Successor Bank shall have been named on the signature pages hereof, and such Successor Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of a “Bank” hereunder and (ii) the Terminated Bank shall have no further Commitment under this Agreement (other than with respect to Advances, if any, made by such

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

SECTION 10.01. Authorization and Action. Each Bank hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Majority Banks and such instructions shall be binding upon all Banks and all holders of Notes. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes it to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law and shall not be subject to any fiduciary duties.

SECTION 10.02. Duties and Obligations. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof unless and until the Administrative Agent receives written notice of the assignment thereof signed by such payee and the Administrative Agent receives the written agreement of the assignee that such assignee is bound hereby as it would have been if it had been an original Bank party hereto, in each case in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by electronic mail or facsimile) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties or by acting upon any representation or warranty of the Borrower made or deemed to be made hereunder. Further, the Administrative Agent (A) makes no warranty or representation to any Bank and shall not be responsible to any Bank for the accuracy or completeness of any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement, (B) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the part of the Borrower or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower, and (C) shall not be responsible to any Bank for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page) or for any failure of Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.

64

SECTION 10.03. Administrative Agent and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitment, the Advances made by it and the Notes issued to it, the Administrative Agent, in its separate capacity as a Bank, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Bank” or “Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include the Administrative Agent in its separate capacity as a Bank. The Administrative Agent, in its separate capacity as a Bank, and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary and any Person which may do business with or own securities of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, all as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Banks.

SECTION 10.04. Bank Credit Decision. Each Bank agrees that it has itself been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal of and investigations into the financial condition, creditworthiness, condition, affairs, status and nature of the Borrower. Accordingly, each Bank confirms to the Administrative Agent that such Bank has not relied, and will not hereafter rely, on the Administrative Agent, or any other Bank, (i) to check or inquire on its behalf into the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information provided by the Borrower under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions herein contemplated (whether or not such information has been or is hereafter distributed to such Bank by the Administrative Agent), (ii) to assess or keep under review on its behalf the financial condition, creditworthiness, condition, affairs, status or nature of the Borrower or (iii) in entering into this Agreement or in making its own credit decisions with respect to the taking or not taking of any action under this Agreement.

SECTION 10.05. Indemnification. The Banks agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) ratably according to the respective principal amounts of the Commitments then held by each of them (or if the Commitments have at the time been terminated, ratably according to the amounts of their Advances then outstanding), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Bank agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification or amendment of this Agreement or preservation of any rights of the Administrative Agent or the Banks under, or the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower.

SECTION 10.06. Sub-Agents. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers 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 its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs and other provisions of this Article X 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 facility provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

65

SECTION 10.07. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Majority Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent to assume the position as Administrative Agent of the retiring Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Banks, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be either a Bank hereunder or a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. The Borrower shall have the right to approve any successor Administrative Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld (in all such cases the Borrower shall be entitled to take into account its past and then existing commercial banking relationships, among other things); provided that if an Event of Default shall have occurred, such right of the Borrower to approve the successor Administrative Agent shall be suspended during the continuance of such Event of Default. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

SECTION 10.08. Syndication Agent and Co-Lead Arrangers. None of the Banks identified on the cover page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “Syndication Agent” or a “Co-Lead Arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Banks as such. Each Bank acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Banks identified as Syndication Agent or Co-Lead Arrangers in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or refraining from taking any action hereunder or pursuant hereto.

SECTION 10.09. Posting of Communications.

(a) The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Banks by posting the Communications on IntraLinks™, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).

(b) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Banks and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Administrative Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Bank that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform, and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Banks and the Borrower hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.

66

(c) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY CO-LEAD ARRANGER, ANY SYNDICATION AGENT, OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE BORROWER, ANY BANK, OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY CREDIT PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES OR EXPENSES ARE DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A FINAL AND NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH APPLICABLE PARTY; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY APPLICABLE PARTY HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE BORROWER, ANY BANK, OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (AS OPPOSED TO DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES).

(d) Each Bank agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Bank for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Bank agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Bank’s (as applicable) email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.

(e) Each of the Banks and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies.

(f) Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Bank to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

67

(c) (i) Each Bank hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Bank that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Bank from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Bank (whether or not known to such Bank), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Bank shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Bank shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Bank under this Section 10.11(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(ii) Each Bank hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Bank agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(iii) The Borrower hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Bank that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Bank with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided, that this Section 10.11 shall not create any additional Obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents or otherwise increase or alter such obligations; provided, further, that neither clauses (x) nor (y) above shall apply with respect to any payment of principal or interest made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any other Bank on account of the Obligations that subsequently results in an erroneous Payment.

(iv) Each party’s obligations under this Section 10.11(c) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.

Notices and communications (i) pursuant to Articles II and X shall not be effective until they are received by the addressee during its normal business hours; and (ii) sent by facsimile to the Borrower shall not be effective until the sender has received confirmation of receipt (in writing or by telephone) from the intended recipient.

The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to a Bank’s e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

SECTION 11.03. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

SECTION 11.04. Costs and Expenses; Limitation of Liability; Indemnification.

(a) The Borrower agrees to reimburse on demand the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Co-Lead Arrangers for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, subject to such limits as may be agreed to in writing by the applicable parties from time to time, the reasonable and documented fees, time charges and expenses of one law firm for the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Co-Lead Arrangers, and, with the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be

72

unreasonably withheld), any special or local counsel deemed appropriate by such law firm) incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Co-Lead Arrangers in connection with the preparation, negotiation, distribution through e-mail or secured website, execution, syndication and enforcement of this Agreement, the Notes, if any, and the other documents to be delivered hereunder or contemplated hereby; provided, however, that such out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Co-Lead Arrangers through the date of execution of this Agreement shall only be payable as set forth in a separate fee letter (if any) executed and delivered prior to the effective date of this Agreement by the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Co-Lead Arrangers and the Borrower. The Borrower further agrees to pay on demand all direct out-of-pocket losses, and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, if any (including reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of outside counsel), of the Administrative Agent and any Bank in connection with the enforcement (whether by legal proceedings, negotiation or otherwise) of this Agreement, the Notes, if any, and the other documents delivered hereunder; provided that the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay the fees, time charges and expenses of any counsel other than (i) a single counsel for the Administrative Agent, (ii) a single counsel for the Banks, (iii) any local or special counsel reasonably determined to be necessary by the counsel referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, and (iv) any additional counsel reasonably determined to be necessary by any counsel for the Banks pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) above due to an actual or potential conflict of interest.

(b) If (i) due to payments made by the Borrower due to acceleration of the maturity of the Advances pursuant to Section 9.01 or due to any other reason, any Bank receives payments of principal of any Eurodollar Advance, or any Eurodollar Advance is converted to a Base Rate Advance, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance or (ii) the Borrower fails to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Advance on the date specified in any notice delivered by it pursuant hereto, the Borrower shall, upon demand by any Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank any amounts required to compensate such Bank for any additional direct out-of-pocket losses, costs or expenses which it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, conversion or failure, including, any such loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Bank to fund or maintain such Advance; provided that the amount of such loss, cost or expense shall not exceed the amount determined by such Bank to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on a principal amount equal to such Advance, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate applicable to such Advance, for the period from the date of such payment to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Advance) (in either such case, the “Relevant Period”), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for the Relevant Period at the interest rate that such Bank would bid, were it to bid at the commencement of the Relevant Period, for deposits in Dollars in a comparable amount and for the Relevant Period from other banks in the London interbank market. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to a Bank under this Section 11.04(b), each Bank shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Advance made by it at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Advance by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period.

(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law (i) the Borrower shall not assert, and the Borrower hereby waives, any claim against the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Bank, and any Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called a “Lender-Related Person”) for any Liabilities arising from the use by others of information or

73

other materials (including, without limitation, any personal data) obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), and (ii) no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any Liabilities against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions or any Advance or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this Section 11.04(c) shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee, as provided in Section 11.04(d), against any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.

(d) Subject to the next sentence, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of outside counsel) which may be incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee in connection with or arising out of any investigation, arbitration, litigation, or proceeding (whether or not any such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, its equity holders, its Affiliates, its creditors or any other Person) (i) related to this Agreement, any transaction or proposed transaction (whether or not consummated) contemplated hereby or in which any proceeds of any Borrowing are applied or proposed to be applied, directly or indirectly, by the Borrower, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party to such transactions or (ii) related to the Borrower’s entering into this Agreement, or to any actions or omissions of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors or employees in connection therewith, and in each case regardless of whether the Indemnitee is party thereto. The Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any such Indemnitee from or against any portion of such claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (i) arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) that result from the violation by such Indemnitee of any law or judicial order.

SECTION 11.05. Right of Set-Off. Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (ii) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 9.01 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Advances due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.01, and subject to Section 9.02, each Bank (and each of its Affiliates) is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Bank (or any of its Affiliates) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and any Notes held by such Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement and any Notes and of whether or not such obligations may be matured. Each Bank agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Bank, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Bank under this Section 11.05 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Bank may have.

SECTION 11.06. Binding Effect; Assignment.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder

74

without the prior written consent of each Bank (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Bank may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (g) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Banks) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Any Bank may assign, participate or otherwise transfer all or any part of, or interest in, such Bank’s rights and obligations hereunder and under the Notes issued to it hereunder to one or more Persons (other than an Ineligible Institution); provided that (i) in the case of any assignment or other transfer (other than a participation) to a Person that is not a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund, the Borrower (except during the continuance of an Event of Default) and the Administrative Agent, in each case whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, shall have expressly agreed in writing; provided that a material increase in counterparty risk shall be reasonable grounds (although not exclusive grounds) for the withholding of such consent; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof (except that there shall be no deemed consent with respect to an assignment to an Ineligible Institution); and further provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for any assignment made in connection with the primary syndication of the Advances; (ii) in the case of any assignment in part, the amount of the Commitment being assigned pursuant to such assignment shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 (or a lesser amount approved by the Administrative Agent and, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower); and (iii) any participation shall be in compliance with Section 11.06(f). Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations in respect of one Tranche of Commitments or Advances. Upon the effectiveness of any such assignment (but not in the event of any such participation or other transfer), such assignee shall be a Bank hereunder and shall have all the rights and benefits thereof. However, unless and until the conditions for the Administrative Agent’s treating such assignee as holder pursuant to clause (c) below shall have been satisfied, such assignee shall not be entitled to exercise the rights of a Bank under this Agreement and the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make payment of any amount to which such assignee may become entitled hereunder other than to the Bank which assigned its rights to such assignee. Nothing contained herein shall impair the ability of any Bank, in its discretion, to agree, solely as between itself and its assignees, participants and other transferees, upon the manner in which such Bank shall exercise its rights under this Agreement and the Notes made to such Bank. The assignee, if it shall not already be a Bank, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its affiliates and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws. Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (f) of this Section.

75

(c) In order to effect any assignment permitted hereunder by a Bank of all or any portion of its Commitment hereunder, the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register (as defined below), (x) an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit 11.06 hereto (an “Assignment and Acceptance”) or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Acceptance are participants, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 payable by the assignor or assignee. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording and delivery to the Administrative Agent of such assignee’s Administrative Questionnaire, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder and (y) the Bank assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.13, 5.15 and 11.04 for any events or circumstances occurring or existing before the effective date of assignment); provided that if either the assigning Bank or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 5.03(b), 5.14(d) or Section 10.05, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(d) By executing and delivering (x) an Assignment and Acceptance or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Acceptance are participants, the Bank assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Bank makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Bank makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 7.01(f) (and any later statements delivered pursuant to Section 8.01(f)) and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Bank or any other Bank and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Bank.

76

(e) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Advances owing to, each Bank from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(f) Any Bank may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (but with notice to the Borrower, unless such participation is sold to an Affiliate of such Bank), sell to any Person (other than an Ineligible Institution) (each, a “Participant”) participations in all or a portion of such Bank’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Advances owing to it); provided that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Bank shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 10.05 without regard to the existence of any participation. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells such a participation shall provide that such Bank 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 Bank will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the third sentence of Section 11.01 that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.13 and 5.15 to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to this Section (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.15(f) shall be delivered to the Borrower and Administrative Agent) to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 5.18 and of the last sentence of Section 5.11 as it if were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 5.13 or 5.15 with respect to any participation, than the Bank 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 Bank that sells participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 5.18 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.05 as though it were a Bank; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 5.17 as though it were a Bank. Each Bank 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 Advances or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in

77

any Commitments, Advances or its other obligations under this Agreement or any Note) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Advance 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 Bank shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participations 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.

(g) Disqualified Institutions.

(i) No assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning Bank entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign or grant a participation in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Borrower has consented to such assignment or participation in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment or participation). 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 written supplement to the list of “Disqualified Institutions” referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Institution”), (x) such assignee or Participant shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Bank or Participant and (y) the execution by the Borrower of an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Institution. Any assignment or participation in violation of this clause (g)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (g) shall apply.

(ii) If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without the Borrower’s prior written 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, require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 11.06), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Persons (other than an Ineligible Institution) 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.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions to whom an assignment or participation is made in violation of clause (i) above (A) will not have the right to (x) receive information, reports or other materials provided to Banks by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Bank, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Banks and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Banks or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Banks 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 Bank to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to

78

have consented in the same proportion as the Banks that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter and (y) for purposes of voting on any 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 applicable 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 Code (or any similar provision in any other applicable 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).

(iv) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to (x) post the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by the Borrower and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on an Approved Electronic Platform, including that portion of such Approved Electronic Platform that is designated for “public side” Banks and/or (y) provide the DQ List to each Bank or potential Bank requesting the same.

(v) The Administrative Agent and the Banks shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Bank shall (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any other Bank or Participant or prospective Bank or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Advances, or disclosure of confidential information, by any other Person to any Disqualified Institution.

(h) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, each Bank may pledge its right, title and interest under this Agreement and any Note made to it to the Board, or any other Governmental Authority, as security for financial accommodations or privileges being provided or extended to such Bank by such Governmental Authority.

SECTION 11.07. Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and each Bank agree to hold any Information (as defined below) which it may receive from the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure (i) to its Affiliates, legal counsel, accountants, and other professional advisors, and then solely on a need-to-know basis, (ii) in response to any request or order therefor issued by any Governmental Authority, (iii) as required by law, regulation, or judicial process, (iv) within any legal proceeding to enforce any of its rights or remedies hereunder; provided that an Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and the requisite Banks shall have elected under Section 9.01 to enforce such rights or remedies against the Borrower, (v) to any actual or prospective permitted assignee or Participant under Section 11.06, (vi) to any agents and advisors of a Bank solely in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the Advances hereunder, (vii) of Information which has already become publicly available at the time of such disclosure, (viii) to any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Borrower and its obligations, (ix) on a confidential basis to (1) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided for herein or (2) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of identification numbers with respect to the credit facilities provided for herein, (x) to any other party to this Agreement and (xi) with the consent of the Borrower. In

79

the case of disclosure pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) above, the disclosing party agrees, to the extent practicable and permitted by applicable law, regulation or judicial process, to promptly notify the Borrower prior to such disclosure and to request confidential treatment if the Borrower so requests. “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than (i) any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Bank on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower (ii) information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry and (iii) the DQ List (which may be disclosed to any assignee or Participant, or prospective assignee or Participant).

EACH BANK ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN THIS SECTION FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BORROWER AND ITS AFFILIATES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH BANK REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.

SECTION 11.08. Governing Law. This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws (as distinguished from the conflicts of laws rules) of the State of New York.

SECTION 11.09. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) Each of the Banks and the Administrative Agent hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, notwithstanding the governing law provisions of any applicable Loan Document, any claims brought against the Administrative Agent by any Bank relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the consummation or administration of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan (or if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan), and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby

80

irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may (and any such claims, cross-claims or third party claims brought against the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties may only) be heard and determined in such Federal (to the extent permitted by law) or New York State court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Bank may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in clause (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 11.02. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 11.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 11.11. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.

(a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, taken together with all of the other documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein to be delivered by the Borrower, including, the fee letters (if any) executed and delivered prior to the effective date of this Agreement by the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Co-Lead Arrangers and the Borrower, embodies the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, written and oral, relating to the subject matter hereof as among the Borrower, the Banks parties hereto and the Administrative Agent. Except as provided in Section 6.01, 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 which, 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.

81

(b) Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of (x) this Agreement, (y) any other Loan Document and/or (z) any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any notice delivered pursuant to Section 11.02), certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or the transactions contemplated hereby and/or thereby (each an “Ancillary Document”) that is an Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement, such other Loan Document or such Ancillary Document, as applicable. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in any electronic form (including deliveries by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page), each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be; provided, that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent and pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Banks shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower without further verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any such Electronic signature and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Bank, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby (A) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Banks, and the Borrower, Electronic Signatures transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page and/or any electronic images of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, (B) the Administrative Agent and each of the Banks may, at its option, create one or more copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document in the form of an imaged electronic record in any format, which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document (and all such electronic records shall be considered an original for all purposes and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record), (C) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document and/or such Ancillary Document, respectively, including with respect to any signature pages thereto and (D) waives any claim against any Lender-Related Person for any Liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Banks’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures and/or transmissions by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page, including any Liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Borrower to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.

SECTION 11.12. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

82

SECTION 11.13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, taken together with all of the other documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein to be delivered by the Borrower, including, the fee letters (if any) executed and delivered prior to the effective date of this Agreement by the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Co-Lead Arrangers and the Borrower, embodies the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, written and oral, relating to the subject matter hereof as among the Borrower, the Banks parties hereto and the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 11.14.

SECTION 11.15. USA PATRIOT ACT. Each Bank that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Bank to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

SECTION 11.16. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.

(a) The Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that no Credit Party will have any obligations except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and each Credit Party is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Borrower with respect to the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated herein and therein and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Borrower or any other person. The Borrower agrees that it will not assert any claim against any Credit Party based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Credit Party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Additionally, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no Credit Party is advising the Borrower as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting, regulatory or any other matters in any jurisdiction. The Borrower shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated herein or in the other Loan Documents, and the Credit Parties shall have no responsibility or liability to the Borrower with respect thereto.

(b) The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party, together with its Affiliates, is a full service securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, any Credit Party may provide investment banking and other financial services to, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for its own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and other companies with which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have commercial or other relationships. With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any Credit Party or any of its customers, all rights in respect of such securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion.

83

(c) In addition, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party and its Affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise. No Credit Party will use confidential information obtained from the Borrower by virtue of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or its other relationships with the Borrower in connection with the performance by such Credit Party of services for other companies, and no Credit Party will furnish any such information to other companies. The Borrower also acknowledges that no Credit Party has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or to furnish to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, confidential information obtained from other companies.

SECTION 11.17. Lending Installations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Bank at its option may make any Advance by causing any domestic or foreign office, branch or Affiliate of such Bank (an “Applicable Lending Installation”) to make such Advance that has been designated by such Bank to the Administrative Agent; provided that a Bank shall not designate an Alternate Lending Installation if the effect of doing so would increase the amount of the Borrower’s obligations pursuant to Section 5.13 or 5.15 relative to what they would be absent such designation. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Applicable Lending Installation of such Bank and the Advances and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Bank for the benefit of any such Applicable Lending Installation. Each Bank may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, designate replacement or additional Applicable Lending Installations through which Advances will be made by it and for whose account Advance payments are to be made. Any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Advance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 11.18. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

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

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

84

SECTION 11.19. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Bank shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
