NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein (including in the preamble and recitals hereto) shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Amended Credit Agreement.

2. Amendment No. 1 Term Loans.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Amended Credit Agreement (including Section 2.1 thereof), the Committed Amendment No. 1 Term Lender agrees to make an Amendment No. 1 Term Loan denominated in Dollars to the Borrower on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date in a principal amount not exceeding its Amendment No. 1 Term Commitment.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Amended Credit Agreement (including Section 2.1 thereof), the Borrower and each Converting Amendment No. 1 Term Lender agree that, on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans of such Converting Amendment No. 1 Term Lender set forth opposite its name on Schedule II hereto shall convert (on a cashless basis) into Amendment No. 1 Term Loans in a like principal amount (and, upon such conversion, such Initial Term Loans shall cease to be outstanding as Initial Term Loans under the Amended Credit Agreement), and shall continue to be in effect and outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement as an “Amendment No. 1 Term Loan” on the terms and conditions set forth therein. Each Converting Amendment No. 1 Term Lender agrees that the transactions contemplated by this Section 2(b) shall not be subject to Section 5.4 of the Existing Credit Agreement or Section 5.4 of the Amended Credit Agreement.

(c) The terms of the Amendment No. 1 Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2(a) above shall be identical to those of the Amendment No. 1 Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2(b) above, and all such Initial Term Loans shall constitute a single Class of Initial Term Loans for all purposes of the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of the Amendment No. 1 Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(d) The cash proceeds of the Amendment No. 1 Term Loans shall be used, together with cash on hand, to prepay in full the principal amount of all Non-Converted Initial Term Loans, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, outstanding as of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, to pay all accrued but unpaid interest on all Converted Initial Term Loans and to pay the Transaction Costs.

2

(e) The Amendment No. 1 Term Loans shall have the terms applicable to Initial Term Loans under the Amended Credit Agreement. On and after the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, immediately after giving effect to the prepayment referenced in Section 2(d) above, unless the context shall otherwise require, (a) the Amendment No. 1 Term Loans shall be “Initial Term Loans” and “Amendment No. 1 Term Loans” under the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (b) each Committed Amendment No. 1 Term Lender and Converting Amendment No. 1 Term Lender shall (i) be a “Term Lender”, an “Amendment No. 1 Term Lender” and a “Lender” under the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) shall be a party to the Amended Credit Agreement as a “Term Lender”, an “Amendment No. 1 Term Lender” and a “Lender”, (iii) shall have all rights and obligations of, and benefits accruing to, a “Term Lender”, an “Amendment No. 1 Term Lender” and a “Lender” under the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (iv) shall be bound by all agreements, acknowledgments and other obligations of a “Term Lender”, an “Amendment No. 1 Term Lender” and a “Lender” under the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

On the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, the Amendment No. 1 Term Loans shall be of such Type, and, in the case of Term SOFR Term Loans, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Amended Credit Agreement, shall have such initial Interest Period as shall be specified therefor in the Funding Notice delivered under Section 5(e) below.

(l) In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default, Event of Default or Specified Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such condition shall, at the option of the Borrower, be deemed satisfied, so long as no Default, Event of Default or Specified Default, as applicable, exists on the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into.

(i) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, the Senior Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio or the Total Indebtedness Leverage Ratio;

(ii) determining the accuracy of the representations and warranties in Article 7; or

(iii) testing baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated Tangible Assets and baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA), in each case, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”) (it being understood and agreed that the Borrower may elect to revoke any LCT Election in its sole discretion), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters ending prior to the LCT Test Date for which consolidated financial statements of the Consolidated Parties are available, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Tangible Assets, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If the Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket availability with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, or the making of Permitted Investments, Asset Dispositions or Restricted Payments, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other satisfaction of Indebtedness, or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated until such time as the Limited Condition Transaction has been consummated or the definitive agreement with respect thereto has been terminated or expires.

71

(n)

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless the Borrower otherwise notifies the Administrative Agent, (x) with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement (including any covenant or the definition of Available Incremental Amount) that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio tests, Senior Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio test and/or Total Indebtedness Leverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently, simultaneously or contemporaneously with any amounts Incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, amounts Incurred under clause (z) of the definition of Available Incremental Amount, any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio tests, Senior Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio test and/or Total Indebtedness Leverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts” and any such test, a “Financial Incurrence Test”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts (including amounts Incurred under clauses (a) through (c) of the Available Incremental Amount) shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence-Based Amounts, (y) the incurrence of the Incurrence-Based Amount shall be calculated first without giving effect to any Fixed Amount but giving full pro forma effect to the use of proceeds of such Fixed Amount and the related transactions and (z) the Incurrence of the Fixed Amount shall be calculated thereafter. Unless the Borrower elects otherwise, the Borrower shall be deemed to have used amounts under an Incurrence-Based Amount then available to the Borrower prior to utilization of any amount under a Fixed Amount then available to the Borrower.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (x) if any Financial Incurrence Test would be satisfied in any subsequent fiscal quarter following the utilization of either (1) Fixed Amounts or (y) Incurrence Based Amounts, then the reclassification of actions or transactions (or portions thereof) within the applicable covenant, including the reclassification of utilization of any Fixed Amounts as incurred under any available Incurrence Based Amounts, shall be deemed to have automatically occurred even if not elected by the Borrower (unless the Borrower otherwise notifies the Administrative Agent) (provided that, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Restricted Payments (other than any Restricted Investments) may not be reclassified as Permitted Investments, Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 9.2(c) and/or under the ABL Agreement may not be reclassified and (ii) in calculating any Incurrence Based Amounts (including any Financial Incurrence Tests), any (x) Indebtedness concurrently incurred to fund original issue discount and/or upfront fees and (y) amounts incurred, or transactions entered into or consummated, in reliance on a Fixed Amount (including clauses (a) through (c) of the definition of Available Incremental Amount) in a concurrent transaction, a single transaction or a series of related transactions with the amount incurred, or transaction entered into or consummated, under the applicable Incurrence Based Amount, in each case of the foregoing clauses (x) and (y), shall not be given effect in calculating the applicable Incurrence Based Amount (but giving pro forma effect to all applicable and related transactions (including the use of proceeds of all Indebtedness to be incurred and any repayments, repurchases and redemptions of Indebtedness)).

72

1.4 Classification of Term Loans.

Each of the representations and warranties of the Borrower and the other Obligors contained in this Agreement (and all corresponding definitions) are made after giving effect to the Transactions (or such portion thereof as shall be consummated as of the date of the applicable representation or warranty), unless the context otherwise requires.

1.6 Currency.

(a) All fees and amounts payable hereunder and all calculations hereunder shall all be calculated in Dollars.

(b) Where the permissibility of a transaction or a representation, warranty or covenant depends upon compliance with, or is determined by reference to, amounts stated in Dollars, any amount stated in another currency shall be translated to the equivalent amount in Dollars at the applicable time of determination hereunder and the permissibility of actions taken by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary hereunder shall not be affected by subsequent fluctuations in exchange rates.

1.7 Pro Forma Calculations.

(a) Any financial ratio or test or compliance with any covenants determined by reference to Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Net Income, Consolidated Tangible Assets or any component definition thereof shall be calculated in a manner prescribed by this Section 1.7. In addition, whenever a financial ratio or test is to be calculated on a pro forma basis, the reference to the applicable period for purposes of calculating such financial ratio or test shall be deemed to be a reference to, and shall be based on, the most recently ended period for which the financial statements of the Consolidated Parties are available (as determined in good faith by the Borrower).

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement, including the determination of any financial ratio or test, any Specified Transaction that has occurred (i) during the applicable period or (ii) subsequent to such period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the determination of any such ratio, test or compliance with covenants is being made shall be determined on a pro forma basis (including giving effect to those specified in accordance with the definitions of “Consolidated EBITDA” and “Consolidated Net Income” and any component definitions thereof) assuming that all such Specified Transactions (including such Specified Transaction for which such compliance is being determined) had occurred on the first day of the applicable period. If since the beginning of any applicable period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into an Obligor or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.7, then for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement, including the determination of any financial ratio or test, such Specified Transactions shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.7.

73

(c) In the event that (x) any Obligor or Restricted Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or guarantee) or repays or refinances (including by redemption, repayment, retirement, discharge, defeasance or extinguishment) any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and not replaced) or (y) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary issues, repurchases or redeems Disqualified Stock, (i) during the applicable period or (ii) subsequent to the end of the applicable period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio or test is made or compliance with any covenant is determined, then such financial ratio or test or determination of compliance shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or repayment or refinancing of Indebtedness, or such issuance, repurchase or redemption of Disqualified Stock, in each case to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable period (except that, in making such computation, the amount of Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period during the period from the date of creation of such facility to the date of such calculation);

(d) If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any interest hedging arrangements applicable to such Indebtedness); provided, in the case of repayment of any Indebtedness, to the extent actual interest related thereto was included during all or any portion of the applicable period, the actual interest may be used for the applicable portion of such period. Interest on a Capital Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capital Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, Term SOFR or other rate, shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary may designate.

(e) Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any Specified Transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower.

1.8 Interest Rates. The Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall the Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to any reference rate referred to herein or with respect to any rate (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the selection of such rate and any related spread or other adjustment) that is an alternative or replacement for or successor to any such rate (including, without limitation, any Successor Rate)(or any component of any of the foregoing) or the effect of any of the foregoing, or of any Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions or other activities that affect any reference rate referred to herein, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including, without limitation, any Successor Rate)(or any component of any of the foregoing) or any related spread or other adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse

74

to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any reference rate referred to herein or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including, without limitation, any Successor Rate)(or any component of any of the foregoing), in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or other action or omission related to or affecting the selection, determination, or calculation of any rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

1.9 Canadian Guarantors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Loan Documents, no Subsidiary organized or incorporated in Canada (including, in each case, their successors) shall be subject to any Section 956 Limitations, or be or become directly owned by any entity other than the Borrower or the Guarantors (such that Lenders are unable to obtain a 100% pledge of the equity interests issued by such entities); for purposes of the foregoing, “Section 956 Limitations” shall mean any exclusion or limitation on an entity being jointly liable, providing guarantees, pledging its assets, engaging in any repayment or repatriation transaction or on the pledge of equity interests issued by such entity (e.g., any 65% limitation), in each case, as a result of such entity being a non-U.S. entity, controlled foreign corporation, or Foreign Subsidiary Holding Company (or in each case subsidiary thereof) or any adverse tax, cost, or burden resulting under Section 956 of the Code or similar provision; provided that, subject to the last proviso in the definition of “Excluded Subsidiary”, if the IRS or any other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries adopts any regulation under Section 956 of the Code or otherwise that is not officially announced or in effect on the Agreement Date, and such regulation would reasonably be expected to cause the guarantees and collateral provided by any Canadian Guarantor as guarantees of, or security for, any Obligations, in each case, to result in material tax or other material adverse consequences to be suffered by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (as determined by the Borrower in its sole discretion), then the Borrower will promptly so notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the applicable Guarantors may, at the election of the Borrower (in its sole discretion) amend this Agreement, the Canadian GCA, any other Canadian Security Document and any other Loan Document to provide that no such Canadian Guarantor shall (i) guarantee any Obligation or (ii) otherwise constitute a U.S. Guarantor and that no such Canadian Collateral shall secure any Obligation, in each case, to the extent causing such adverse tax consequences. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such amendment or other modification.

1.10 LLC Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any LLC Division: (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes an 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 on the first date of its existence by the holders of its equity interests at such time.

Promptly upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such Funding Notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed borrowing.

76

(ii) Each Lender shall make its Term Loan available to the Administrative Agent not later than 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Agreement Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars at the principal office designated by the Administrative Agent. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified herein, the Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of the Term Loans available to the Borrower on any Agreement Date by causing an amount of immediately available funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of such Term Loans received by the Administrative Agent from the applicable Lenders to be credited to the account of the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s principal office or to such other account as may be designated in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.

(iii) With respect to SOFR or Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

(e) (d) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to any Agreement Date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of the Borrowing to be made on such Agreement Date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.1(c) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Term Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Term Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (d) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

2.2 Incremental Term Loans.

(a) The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time after the Agreement Date by written notice to the Administrative Agent, elect to request one or more new additional tranches of Term Loans which may be of the same Class as any outstanding Class of Term Loans (a “Term Loan Increase”) or a new Class of Term Loans (collectively with any Term Loan Increase, the “Incremental Term Loan Commitments”), which may take the form of delayed draw term loan commitments (the “Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments” and together with the Incremental Term Loan Commitments, the “Incremental Term Commitments”); provided that Term Loans made under such Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments may be designated a separate Class of Term Loans or a part of a Class of existing Term Loans. Any request under this Section 2.2 shall specify the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Loans. Incremental Loans may be provided by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender will have an obligation to make any Incremental Term Commitment, nor will the Borrower have any obligation to approach any existing Lenders to provide any Incremental Term Commitment) or by any Additional Lender (each such existing Lender or Additional Lender providing such Incremental Term Loan Commitment, an “Incremental Term Loan Lender”) or Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment (each such existing Lender or Additional Lender providing such Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment, an “Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender” and, together with the Incremental Term Loan Lenders, the “Incremental Term Lenders”), as applicable; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) to such Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Loans to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under Section 13.2 for an assignment of Term Loans to such Additional Lender.

(b) The aggregate principal amount of outstanding Incremental Loans shall not exceed the Available Incremental Amount at the time incurred (subject to Section 1.3(m)).

(c) On any date on which any Incremental Term Commitments of any Class are effected (including, without limitation, any Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments and through any Term Loan Increase) (each such date an “Incremental Tranche Agreement Date”), subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions in this Section 2.2, (i) (x) each Incremental Term Loan Lender with an Incremental Term Loan Commitment of any Class shall make a Term Loan to the Borrower or applicable Loan Party (an “Incremental Term Loan”) in an amount equal to its Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such Class on the Incremental Tranche Agreement Date and (y) each Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender with an Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment of any Class shall provide commitments to make term loans to the Borrower or applicable Loan Party in an amount equal to its Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment of such Class (such term loans, once made, an “Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loan”, and, together with the Incremental Term Loans, the “Incremental Loans”) in an and (ii) each Incremental Term Lender of such Class shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Incremental Term Commitment of such Class and the Incremental Loans of such Class made pursuant thereto.

(d) The terms, provisions and documentation of any Incremental Loan or any Incremental Term Commitment shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Term Lenders providing such Incremental Loans or Incremental Term Commitments, and except as otherwise set forth herein, to the extent not substantially consistent with any Class of Term Loans existing on the Incremental Tranche Agreement Date (as determined by the Borrower), shall be consistent with clauses (i) through (iii) below, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Term Loan Increase, the terms, provisions and documentation of such Term Loan Increase shall be identical (other than with respect to underwriting, commitment or upfront fees, original issue discount or similar fees) to the applicable Term Loans being increased. In any event,

78

(i) each Incremental Loan or Incremental Term Commitment:

(A) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the other Term Loans or Commitments, as applicable, of such Class, shall be secured by Liens on the Collateral ranking pari passu in right of security with Liens on the Collateral securing the other Term Loans or Commitments, as applicable, of such Class; provided that any Incremental Loans secured by the Collateral shall be subject to the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement;

(B) may be provided in any currency mutually agreed among the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, and the applicable Incremental Term Lenders;

(C) except with respect to Customary Bridge Loans which would either automatically be converted into or required to be exchanged for permanent financing which does not mature earlier than the Maturity Date, the maturity date of any Incremental Loans shall not be earlier than the Maturity Date and the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Incremental Loans shall not be shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Initial Term Loans (without giving effect to any previous amortization payments or prepayments of the Initial Term Loans);

(D) shall have fees and, subject to clause (d)(i)(C) above, amortization determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Term Lenders;

(E) may, in the case of an Incremental Term Loan or Incremental Term Commitment that is pari passu in right of payment and right of security with the Term Loans, provide for the ability to participate on a pro rata basis, or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis), in any mandatory prepayments of Term Loans hereunder, as specified in the applicable Incremental Term Amendment; and

(F) the Borrower and any Restricted Subsidiary may use the proceeds, if any, of the Incremental Loans and/or Incremental Term Commitments for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement.

(ii) the All-In-Yield applicable to the Incremental Loans of each Class shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable new Lenders and shall be set forth in each applicable Incremental Term Amendment; provided, however, that with respect to any Subject Facility that is (a) is denominated in Dollars, (b) is secured by a Lien on the Collateral ranking on a pari passu basis with the Liens on the Collateral securing the Initial Term Loans, (c) is not subordinated to the Initial Term Loans in the right of payment, (d) is not an Excluded Facility and (e) is made prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the Agreement Date, the All-In-Yield applicable to such Incremental Loans shall not be

79

greater than the applicable All-In-Yield payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement with respect to the Initial Term Loans plus 50 basis points per annum, unless the Interest Rate (together with, as provided in the proviso below, the Term SOFR or Base Rate floor) with respect to such Initial Term Loans is increased so as to cause the then applicable All-In-Yield under this Agreement on such Initial Term Loans to equal the All-In-Yield then applicable to the Incremental Loans minus 50 basis points; provided that any increase in All-In-Yield to the Initial Term Loans due to the application of a Term SOFR floor or Base Rate floor on any Incremental Loan shall be effected solely through an increase in (or implementation of, as applicable) any Term SOFR floor or Base Rate floor applicable to the Initial Term Loans (the “MFN Protection”); provided Incremental Equivalent Debt that is secured by a Lien on the Collateral ranking on a pari passu basis with the Lien on the Collateral securing the Obligations shall be subject to the MFN Protection as if such Incremental Equivalent Debt were an Incremental Loan; and

(iii) there shall be no borrowers or guarantors in respect of such Incremental Loan that are not the Borrower or a Guarantor, and, to the extent secured, Incremental Loans shall not be secured by assets other than Collateral (except pursuant to an escrow or similar arrangement with respect to the proceeds of such Incremental Loans) (the foregoing clauses (d)(i)(C), (d)(i)(E) and, solely to the extent the extent the applicable Incremental Equivalent Debt consists of senior secured term loans that are secured by a Lien on the Collateral ranking on a pari passu basis with the Lien on the Collateral securing the Obligations, (d)(iii), collectively, the “Required Additional Debt Terms”).

(e) No Incremental Loans or Incremental Term Commitments shall become effective unless and until each of the following conditions has been satisfied:

(i) any such Incremental Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent;

(ii) the Borrower, any Additional Lender and the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall have executed and delivered an Incremental Term Amendment;

(iii) the Borrower shall have paid such fees and other compensation to the Additional Lenders as the Borrower and such Additional Lenders shall agree;

(iv) the Borrower shall deliver on Incremental Tranche Agreement Date a certificate certifying that (A) (other than with respect to an Incremental Loan incurred in connection with a Permitted Acquisition or any other Investment or refinancing unless required by the Incremental Term Lenders providing such Incremental Loans and/or Incremental Term Commitments, as applicable, in which case the only representations that the Borrower or any Obligor shall be required to make are customary specified representations) the representations and warranties made by the Borrower and each Guarantor contained herein and in the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of such Incremental Tranche Agreement Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which

80

case they are true and correct in all material respects, as of such specified earlier date, provided that in the case of Incremental Loans incurred in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, the only representations and warranties that the Borrower shall be required to certify shall be customary specified representations and (B) no Specified Default has occurred and is continuing; and

(v) the effectiveness of any Incremental Term Amendment and the occurrence of any credit event (including the making of a Loan thereunder) pursuant to such Incremental Term Amendment may be subject to the satisfaction of such additional conditions as the parties thereto shall agree.

(f) In connection with any Incremental Loan, the Additional Lenders, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (such consent not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) agree to enter into any amendment required to incorporate the addition of the Incremental Loans, the pricing of the Incremental Loans, the maturity date of the Incremental Loans and such other amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection therewith, including, without limitation amendments to provide for (i) the inclusion, as appropriate, of Additional Lenders in any required vote or action of the Required Lenders, amendments to permit purchases of Incremental Loans by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates (which shall be cancelled upon purchase by the Borrower or any Subsidiary) (provided that such purchases by an Affiliate of the Borrower other than a Subsidiary shall be subject to customary restrictions to be agreed with the Additional Lenders providing such Incremental Loans and the Administrative Agent), (ii) amendments to properly reflect the pari passu or junior right of payment or priority with respect to the Collateral (each an “Incremental Term Amendment”) and (iii) solely with respect to Incremental Delay Draw Term Loan Commitments, amendments to reflect the delayed draw nature of such Incremental Term Commitments. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into such amendments.

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 2.2 shall supersede any provisions in Section 13.1 to the contrary.

2.3 Extension Amendments.

(a) The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time after the Agreement Date, request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of a given Class (each, an “Existing Tranche”) be amended to extend the scheduled Maturity Date(s) with respect to all or a portion of such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so amended, “Extended Term Loans”, with any Term Loans of the Existing Tranche not so extended being referred to as “Non-Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.3. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Tranche)(an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which Extension Request may be modified, revoked, or revoked and reissued by the Borrower at any time prior to the effectiveness of the Extension Amendment.

81

(b) The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) prior to the date on which Lenders under the applicable Existing Tranche or Existing Tranches are requested to respond. Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans under the Existing Tranche subject to such Extension Request amended into Extended Term Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans under the Existing Tranche which it has elected to request be amended into Extended Term Loans (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent; provided that such minimum denomination requirements shall be no more restrictive than those set for in Section 2.2(e)(i)). In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans requested pursuant to the Extension Request, the Borrower shall determine in its sole discretion which Term Loans subject to Extension Elections shall be amended to Extended Term Loans.

(c) The terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established pursuant to an Extension Request, which shall (x) be identical as offered to any Lenders (or any subset of Lenders) under any Existing Tranche (including as to the proposed Applicable Margins with respect to such Extended Term Loans (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be higher or lower than the Applicable Margin applicable to the Term Loans of such Existing Tranche) but not the fees payable to the Extending Lenders in connection with such Extended Term Loans (including any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith) which shall be determined by the Borrower and each such Extending Lender); provided that the Borrower shall determine (in its sole discretion) which of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Tranche shall receive the Extension Request and (y) be identical to the Term Loans under the Existing Tranche from which such Extended Term Loans are to be amended, except (I) that all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Tranche, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided, however, that at no time shall there be Classes of Term Loans hereunder (including Incremental Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans and Extended Term Loans) which have more than five (5) different Maturity Dates (unless otherwise consented to by the Administrative Agent); (II) that the All-In-Yield with respect to the Extended Term Loans (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the All-In-Yield for the Term Loans of such Existing Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (III) that the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans); and (IV) for any Section 2.3 Additional Amendments. In any event:

(i) as of the applicable Extension Date, the applicable Extended Term Loans shall not mature earlier than the Maturity Date with respect to the Term Loans in the Existing Tranche;

(ii) as of the applicable Extension Date, the applicable Extended Term Loans shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity not shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans in the Existing Tranche (except by virtue of amortization of prepayment of the Term Loans in the Existing Tranche prior to the time of such incurrence);

82

(iii) shall be permitted by the terms of all Acceptable Intercreditor Agreements (to the extent any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement is then in effect); and

(iv) may participate on a pro rata basis, or less than a pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis), in any mandatory prepayments of Term Loans hereunder, as specified in the respective Extension Amendment.

Any Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to any Extension Request shall be designated a Class (each, a “Term Loan Extension Series”) of Extended Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Term Loans amended from an Existing Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Term Loan Extension Series with respect to such Existing Tranche (in which case scheduled amortization with respect thereto shall be proportionately increased).

(d) Extended Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which may include amendments to provisions related to maturity, interest margins or fees referenced in Section 2.3(c) and which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the penultimate sentence of this Section 2.3(d) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 13.1, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Term Loans established thereby) executed by the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Extending Lenders and the Administrative Agent (such consent not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and without limiting the generality or applicability of Section 13.1 to any Section 2.3 Additional Amendments, any Extension Amendment may provide for additional terms and/or additional amendments other than those referred to or contemplated above (any such additional amendment, a “Section 2.3 Additional Amendment”) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such Section 2.3 Additional Amendments do not become effective prior to the time that such Section 2.3 Additional Amendments have been consented to (including pursuant to consents applicable to holders of any Extended Term Loans provided for in any Extension Amendment) by such of the Lenders, the Borrower and other parties (if any) as may be required in order for such Section 2.3 Additional Amendments to become effective in accordance with Section 13.1; provided, further, that, for the avoidance of doubt, any Section 2.3 Additional Amendment that only affects the rights of the Lenders under the applicable Class of Extended Term Loans shall only require the consent of the Required Lenders under such Class of Extended Term Loans. It is understood and agreed that each Lender has consented for all purposes requiring its consent, and shall at the effective time thereof be deemed to consent to each amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents authorized by this Section 2.3 and the arrangements described above in connection therewith except that the foregoing shall not constitute a deemed consent on behalf of any Lender to the terms of any Section 2.3 Additional Amendment.

83

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on any date on which any Existing Tranche is converted to extend the related scheduled Maturity Date(s) in accordance with clause (a) above (an “Extension Date”), (i) the scheduled repayments set forth in Section 4.1 with respect to any Existing Tranche subject to an Extension Election shall be modified to reflect a reduction in the principal amount of Term Loans required to be paid thereunder in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to the applicable Extension Amendment (with such amount to be applied ratably to reduce scheduled repayments of such Term Loans required pursuant to Section 4.1) and (ii) the prepayments set forth in Section 4.1 shall be modified to reflect the existence of Extended Term Loans and the application of prepayments with respect thereto.

(f) If, in connection with any proposed Extension Amendment, any Lender declines to consent to the extension of its applicable Commitment on the terms and by the deadline set forth in the applicable Extension Request (each such other Lender, a “Non-Extending Lender”) then the Borrower may, on notice to the Administrative Agent and the Non-Extending Lender, (i) replace such Non-Extending Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 13.2 (with the assignment fee and any other costs and expenses to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender; provided, further, that the applicable assignee shall have agreed to provide an applicable Term Loan on the terms set forth in such Extension Amendment; and provided, further, that all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Non-Extending Lender relating to the Term Loans so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Non-Extending Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Acceptance or (ii) upon notice to the Administrative Agent, to prepay the Term Loans of such Non-Extending Lender, in whole or in part, subject to Section 5.4, without premium or penalty. In connection with any such replacement under this Section 2.3, if the Non-Extending Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement by the later of (A) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation and (B) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Non-Extending Lender relating to the Term Loans so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Non-Extending Lender, then such Non-Extending Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Non-Extending Lender.

(g) Following any Extension Date, with the written consent of the Borrower, any Non-Extending Lender may elect to have all or a portion of its Term Loans under an Existing Tranche deemed to be an Extended Term Loans under the applicable Term Loan Extension Series on any date (each date a “Designation Date”) prior to the maturity date of such Extended Term Loans; provided that (i) such Lender shall have provided written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) prior to such Designation Date and (ii) no more than three (3) Designation Dates may occur in any one-year (1-year) period without the written consent of the Administrative Agent. Following a Designation Date, the Term Loans under the Existing Tranche held by such Lender so elected to be extended will be deemed to be Extended Term Loans of the applicable Term Loan Extension Series and any Term Loans under an Existing Tranche held by such Lender not elected to be extended, if any, shall continue to be “Non-Extended Term Loans.”

84

(h) With respect to all extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.3, (i) such extensions shall not constitute payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 4.1 and (ii) no Extension Request is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, provided that the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition to consummating any such extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Request in the Borrower’s discretion and may be waived by the Borrower) of Term Loans under an Existing Tranche be extended. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.3 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Request) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Sections 4.4, 13.1 and 14.12(b)) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.3.

2.4 Refinancing Amendments.

(a) The Borrower may, at any time or from time to time after the Agreement Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (a “Refinancing Term Loan Request”), request (i) the establishment of one or more new Classes of Term Loans under this Agreement (any such new Class, “Refinancing Term Commitments”), established in exchange for, or to replace, repurchase, retire or refinance, in whole or in part, as selected by the Borrower, any one or more then-existing Class or Classes of Term Loans (with respect to a particular Refinancing Term Commitment or Refinancing Term Loan, such existing Term Loans, “Refinanced Debt”), whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of each such notice to each of the Lenders holding such proposed Refinanced Debt.

(b) Each Refinancing Term Loan Request from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Refinancing Term Loans and identify the proposed Refinanced Debt with respect thereto. Any Refinancing Term Loans made pursuant to Refinancing Term Commitments made on a Refinancing Agreement Date shall be designated a separate Class of Refinancing Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement. Refinancing Term Loans may be made by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender will have an obligation to make any Refinancing Term Commitment, nor will the Borrower have any obligation to approach any existing Lender to provide any Refinancing Term Commitment) or by any Additional Lender (each such Additional Lender providing such Refinancing Term Commitment or Refinancing Term Loan, a “Refinancing Term Lender”); provided that the Administrative Agent shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s making such Refinancing Term Loans to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under Section 13.2 for an assignment of Term Loans, to such Additional Lender.

(c) On any Refinancing Agreement Date on which any Refinancing Term Commitments of any Class are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions in this Section 2.4, (i) each Refinancing Term Lender of such Class shall make a Term Loan, severally, but not jointly or jointly and severally with the other Refinancing Term Lenders, to the Borrower (a “Refinancing Term Loan”) in an amount equal to its Refinancing Term Commitment of such Class and (ii) each Refinancing Term Lender of such Class shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Refinancing Term Commitment of such Class and the Refinancing Term Loans of such Class made pursuant thereto.

85

(d) The terms, provisions and documentation of the Refinancing Term Loans and Refinancing Term Commitments of any Class shall be as agreed between the Borrower, the applicable Refinancing Term Lenders providing such Refinancing Term Loans or Refinancing Term Commitments and the Administrative Agent (in the case of the Administrative Agent, only with respect to terms and provisions not otherwise specified in this Section 2.4 that adversely affect the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent), and except as otherwise set forth herein, to the extent not substantially identical to any Class of Term Loans existing on the Refinancing Agreement Date, shall be consistent with clauses (i) through (vi) below:

(i) at the Borrower’s option, may rank pari passu or junior in right of payment with the Obligations under the then existing Term Loans, may be pari passu or junior in right of security with the Obligations under the then existing Term Loans (and, if junior in right of security, subject to an Appropriate Intercreditor Agreement) or may be unsecured;

(ii) as of the Refinancing Agreement Date, such Refinancing Term Loans shall not mature earlier than the Maturity Date of the Refinanced Debt;

(iii) as of the Refinancing Agreement Date, such Refinancing Term Loans shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity not shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Refinanced Debt on the date of incurrence of such Refinancing Term Loans (except by virtue of amortization or prepayment of the Refinanced Debt prior to the time of such incurrence);

(iv) shall have an applicable margin and, subject to clauses (d)(ii) and (d)(iii) above, amortization determined by the Borrower and the applicable Refinancing Term Lenders;

(v) shall not be subject to any guarantee by any person other than an Obligor;

(vi) may, in the case of any Refinancing Term Loans that are pari passu in right of payment and right of security with then existing Term Loans, provide for the ability to participate on a pro rata basis, or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis), in any mandatory prepayments of such Term Loans hereunder, as specified in the applicable Refinancing Amendment; and

(vii) to the extent such Refinancing Term Loans are secured by a Lien on the Collateral, such Refinancing Term Loans shall not be secured by any assets of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries not constituting Collateral.

(e) The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, and the Refinancing Term Commitments thereunder, shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (a “Refinancing Agreement Date”) of each of the following conditions, together with any other conditions set forth in the Refinancing Amendment:

86

(i) each Refinancing Term Commitment shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000 and shall be in an increment of $1,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $5,000,000 and not in an increment of $1,000,000 if such amount is equal to the entire outstanding principal amount of Refinanced Debt);

(ii) after giving effect to such Refinancing Term Commitments, the condition of Sections 10.1(e) and 10.1(i) shall be satisfied; and

(iii) the principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of such Refinancing Term Loans shall not exceed the principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of the Refinanced Debt (plus the amount of unpaid accrued or capitalized interest and premiums thereon (including make-whole premiums, prepayment premiums, tender premiums and amounts required to be paid in connection with defeasance and satisfaction and discharge), underwriting discounts, original issue discount, defeasance costs, fees (including upfront fees), commissions and expenses).

(f) Refinancing Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (a “Refinancing Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Refinancing Term Lender providing such Refinancing Term Loans and the Administrative Agent. The Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Obligor, agent or Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.4, including, if applicable, amendments as deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable judgment to (i) effect any lien subordination and associated rights of the applicable Lenders to the extent any Refinancing Term Loans are to rank junior in right of security and (ii) that any Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant does not benefit any Term Loans hereunder. The Borrower will use the proceeds, if any, of the Refinancing Term Loans in exchange for, or to extend, renew, replace, repurchase, retire or refinance, and shall permanently terminate applicable commitments under, substantially concurrently, the applicable Refinanced Debt.

ARTICLE III.

INTEREST AND FEES

3.1 Interest.

(a) Interest Rates. All outstanding Term Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof (including, to the extent permitted by law, on interest thereon not paid when due) from the date made until paid in full in cash at a rate determined as follows:

(i) for all Base Rate Term Loans, at a fluctuating per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and

(ii) for all Term SOFR Term Loans, at a per annum rate equal to the Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin.

87

Each change in the Base Rate shall be reflected in the Interest Rate applicable to Base Rate Term Loans as of the effective date of such change. All computations of interest for Base Rate Term Loans when the Base Rate is determined by Wells Fargo’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), the yearly rate of interest to which any rate calculated on the basis of a period of time different from the actual number of days in the year (360 days, for example) is equivalent is the stated rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the year (365) and divided by the number of days in the shorter period (360 days, in the example). The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the applicable Lenders, interest on all Term Loans in arrears on each Interest Payment Date.

(b) Default Rate. If the Borrower shall default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Term Loan or any other amount becoming due hereunder, by acceleration or otherwise, or under any other Loan Document, the Borrower shall on demand from time to time pay interest, to the extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount to, but excluding, the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment)(w) in the case of overdue principal, at the Default Rate, (x) in the case of overdue interest, at the Default Rate that would be applicable with respect to the applicable principal on which such interest is due and (y) in all other cases, at a rate per annum equal to the rate that would be applicable to a Base Rate Term Loan plus 2.00%.

3.2 Continuation and Conversion Elections.

(a) The Borrower may:

(i) elect, as of any Business Day, to convert any Base Rate Term Loans (or any part thereof in an amount not less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof) into Term SOFR Term Loans; or

(ii) elect, as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, to continue any Term SOFR Term Loans having Interest Periods expiring on such day (or any part thereof in an amount not less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof); provided that if at any time the aggregate amount of Term SOFR Term Loans in respect of any Borrowing is reduced, by payment, prepayment, or conversion of part thereof to be less than $5,000,000, such Term SOFR Term Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Term Loans; provided, further, that if the Notice of Continuation/Conversion shall fail to specify the duration of the Interest Period, such Interest Period shall be one (1) month; provided, further, that no Term SOFR Term Loan may be continued as such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have given notice to the Borrower that no such continuations may be made.

(b) The Borrower shall deliver a notice of continuation/conversion substantially in the form of Exhibit B (each, a “Notice of Continuation/Conversion”), as applicable, to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m.(New York City time) at least two (2) Business Days in advance of the Continuation/Conversion Date, specifying:

88

(i) the proposed Continuation/Conversion Date;

(ii) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans to be converted or continued;

(iii) the Type of Term Loans resulting from the proposed conversion or continuation; and

(iv) the duration of the requested Interest Period; provided, however, the Borrower may not select an Interest Period that ends after the Maturity Date.

In lieu of delivering a Notice of Continuation/Conversion, the Borrower may give the Administrative Agent telephonic notice of such request on or before the deadline set forth above. The Administrative Agent at all times shall be entitled to rely on such telephonic notice with respect to such continuation or conversion, regardless of whether any written confirmation is received.

(c) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Term SOFR Term Loans, the Borrower has failed to select timely a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Term SOFR Term Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected an Interest Period of one (1) month, effective as of the expiration date of the expiring Interest Period. If any Default or Event of Default exists, at the election of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, all Term SOFR Term Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Term Loans as of the expiration date of each applicable Interest Period.

(d) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Continuation/Conversion. All conversions and continuations shall be made ratably according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans with respect to which the notice was given held by each Lender.

(e) There may not be more than five (5) different Term SOFR Term Loans for any Class in effect hereunder at any time.

3.3 Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall any Interest Rate provided for hereunder exceed the maximum rate legally chargeable under applicable law with respect to loans of the Type provided for hereunder (the “Maximum Rate”). If, in any month, any Interest Rate, absent such limitation, would have exceeded the Maximum Rate, then the Interest Rate for that month shall be the Maximum Rate, and, if in future months, that Interest Rate would otherwise be less than the Maximum Rate, then that Interest Rate shall remain at the Maximum Rate until such time as the amount of interest paid hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been paid if the same had not been limited by the Maximum Rate. In the event that, upon payment in full of the Obligations, the total amount of interest paid or accrued under the terms of this Agreement is less than the total amount of interest which would, but for this Section 3.3, have been paid or accrued if the Interest Rate otherwise set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then the Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Lenders, an amount equal to the excess of (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of interest which would have been charged if the Maximum Rate had, at all times, been in effect or (ii) the amount of interest which would have accrued had the Interest Rate otherwise set

89

forth in this Agreement, at all times, been in effect over (b) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued under this Agreement. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Administrative Agent and/or any Lender has received interest and other charges hereunder in excess of the Maximum Rate, such excess shall be deemed received on account of, and shall automatically be applied to reduce, the Obligations other than interest, and if there are no Obligations outstanding, the Administrative Agent and/or such Lender shall refund to the Borrower such excess.

3.4 Fees. Without duplication, the Borrower agrees to pay to (i) the Administrative Agent in Dollars, for its own account, administrative agent fees as have been previously agreed in writing (including in the Fee Letter) or as otherwise may be agreed in writing from time to time and (ii) the Arrangers in Dollars, for their respective accounts, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter.

ARTICLE IV.

PAYMENTS AND PREPAYMENTS

4.1 Payments and Prepayments.

(a) The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, with respect to the Term Loans, for the benefit of the Term Lenders, (i) on the last Business Day of each June, September, December, and March, commencing on December March 31, 2025 2026, an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Initial the Amendment No. 1 Term Loans made on the Agreement Amendment No. 1 Effective Date multiplied by 0.25% (which payments shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the priority set forth in clause (b) below) and (ii) on the Maturity Date, the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding on such date, provided that the amount of any such payment set forth above in respect of Term Loans of any Class shall be adjusted to account for the addition of any Extended Term Loan or Incremental Term Loans to contemplate (x) the reduction in the aggregate principal amount of any Term Loans of such Class that were converted in connection with the incurrence of such Extended Term Loans, and (y) any increase to payments to the extent and as required pursuant to the terms of any applicable Incremental Term Amendment involving a Term Loan Increase to the Term Loans of such Class, a Refinancing Amendment to the amount of Term Loans of such Class or an Extension Amendment increasing the amount of Term Loans of such Class.

(b) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay the Term Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty, other than as provided for in clause (c) below; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) (A) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Term SOFR Term Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Term Loans; and (ii) each prepayment shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) and Class(es) of Term Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share). If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such

90

notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; provided that such prepayment obligation may be conditioned on the occurrence of any subsequent event (including a Change of Control, refinancing transaction or acquisition or other Investment). Voluntary prepayments of any Class(es) of Term Loan permitted hereunder shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installments of principal thereof pursuant to Section 4.1(a) in a manner determined at the sole discretion of the Borrower and specified in the notice of prepayment, and, subject to the other limitations expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Borrower may elect to apply voluntary prepayments of Term Loans to one or more Class or Classes of Term Loans selected by the Borrower in its sole discretion (provided that such voluntary prepayments of the Term Loans shall be made pro rata to the Lenders within any such Class or Classes selected by the Borrower). In the event that the Borrower does not specify the order in which to apply prepayments to reduce scheduled installments of principal or as between Classes of Term Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that such prepayment be applied to reduce the scheduled installments of principal in direct order of maturity on a pro rata basis among Classes of Term Loans.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, on or prior to the date which is six (6) months after the Agreement Date, the Borrower (i) prepays, refinances, substitutes or replaces any Term Loans pursuant to a Repricing Transaction, or (ii) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Lenders, (x) in the case of clause (i), a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so prepaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced and (y) in the case of clause (ii), a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment. Such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall not be subject to the requirements of this Section 4.1(c) with respect to any Repricing Transaction occurring after the six (6)-month anniversary of the Agreement Date.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, on or prior to the date which is six (6) months after the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, the Borrower (i) prepays, refinances, substitutes or replaces any Term Loans pursuant to a Repricing Transaction, or (ii) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Lenders, (x) in the case of clause (i), a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so prepaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced and (y) in the case of clause (ii), a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment. Such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall not be subject to the requirements of this Section 4.1(d) with respect to any Repricing Transaction occurring after the six (6)-month anniversary of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date.

4.2 Term Loan Prepayments.

(a) In connection with any prepayment, if any Term SOFR Term Loans are prepaid prior to the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall comply with Section 5.4.

91

(b) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Cash Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall, within ten Business Days after such Net Cash Proceeds are received (or, in the case of a Prepayment Event described in clause (b) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event,” on the date of such Prepayment Event), prepay Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to (I) with respect to a Prepayment Event described in clause (a) of the definition thereof, the Prepayment Percentage of such Net Cash Proceeds and (II) with respect to a Prepayment Event described in clause (b) of the definition thereof, such Net Cash Proceeds; provided that, in the case of any event described in clause (a) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event” relating to an Asset Disposition made in reliance on Section 9.6(a), if the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries invests (or commits to invest (including by entering into a binding agreement, an executed term sheet or a letter of intent) the Net Cash Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof) within 365 days after receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds in the business of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (including any Permitted Acquisitions or other Permitted Investments) then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of such Net Cash Proceeds in respect of such event (or the applicable portion of such Net Proceeds, if applicable) except to the extent of any such Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so invested (or committed to be invested) by the end of such 365 day period (or if committed to be so invested within such 365 day period, have not been so invested within 540 days after receipt thereof), at which time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds that have not been so reinvested (or committed to be reinvested); provided, further, that (A) in the event such binding agreement or commitment is later canceled or terminated for any reason before an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds are so applied, the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary may satisfy its obligations as to any Net Cash Proceeds by entering into another binding agreement or commitment within six months of such cancellation or termination of the prior binding agreement or commitment and (B) the Borrower may use a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay, redeem or repurchase (or to offer to prepay, redeem or repurchase) any other Indebtedness that is secured by a Lien on the Collateral that ranks equal in priority (but without regard to the control of remedies) with the Lien on the Collateral securing the Obligations to the extent such other Indebtedness and the Liens securing the same are permitted hereunder and the documentation governing such other Indebtedness requires such a prepayment, redemption or repurchase (or such an offer to prepay, redeem or repurchase) (such Indebtedness required to be so repaid, redeemed or repurchased (or offered to be repaid, redeemed or repurchased), the “Other Applicable Indebtedness”), in each case in an amount not to exceed the product of (x) the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of such Other Applicable Indebtedness and the denominator of which is the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans and such Other Applicable Indebtedness. Subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding sentence, prepayments of any Class(es) of Term Loan permitted hereunder shall be applied in a manner determined at the sole discretion of the Borrower and specified in the notice of prepayment, and, subject to the other limitations expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Borrower may elect to apply prepayments of Term Loans made pursuant to this Section 4.2(b) to one or more Class or Classes of Term Loans selected by the Borrower in its sole discretion (provided that such voluntary prepayments of the Term Loans shall be made pro rata to the Lenders within any such Class or Classes selected by the Borrower).

92

4.3 Payments by the Borrower.

(a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, at the account designated by the Administrative Agent and shall be made in Dollars and in immediately available funds, no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the date specified herein. Any payment received by the Administrative Agent after such time shall be deemed (for purposes of calculating interest only) to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest shall continue to accrue.

(b) Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of “Interest Period”, whenever any payment is due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.

4.4 Apportionment, Application and Reversal of Payments. Principal and interest payments (but excluding payments to any tranche established after the date of this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4 to the extent otherwise provided in the applicable amendment to this Agreement relating to such tranche) shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Term Loans to which such payments relate held by each such Lender) and payments of the fees shall, as applicable, be apportioned ratably among the Lenders, except for fees payable solely to the Administrative Agent or any Arranger. Principal and interest payments on any Term Loans made pursuant to any tranche established after the date of this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4 shall be allocated pro rata (or as may otherwise be provided for in the applicable amendment to this Agreement relating to such tranche) among the Lenders with commitments under any facility in respect thereof or with participations in such tranche (in each case subject to any limitations on non-pro rata payments otherwise provided in any such Section). All payments shall be remitted to the Administrative Agent and all such payments not relating to principal or interest of specific Term Loans, or not constituting payment of specific fees, and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, shall be applied, ratably, subject to the provisions of this Agreement and any applicable Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement: first, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers from the Borrower; second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrower; third, to pay interest due in respect of all Term Loans; fourth, to pay or prepay principal of the Term Loans; fifth, to the payment of any other applicable Obligations due to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party, by the Obligors; and sixth, to pay any remaining amounts to the Borrower for its own account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower, or unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall apply any payments which it receives to any Term SOFR Term Loan, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such Term SOFR Term Loan, or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding Base Rate Term Loans and, in such event, the Borrower shall pay Term SOFR Term Loan breakage losses in accordance with Section 5.4. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the applicable Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 4.4 may be amended in accordance with Section 13.1(c) (and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such amendments) to the extent necessary to reflect differing amounts payable, and priorities of payments, to Lenders participating in any new Classes or tranches of Term Loans added pursuant to Section 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4, as applicable.

93

4.5 Indemnity for Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party, and the Borrower shall be liable to pay to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party and hereby do indemnify the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party and hold the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party harmless for the amount of such payment or proceeds surrendered. The provisions of this Section 4.5 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any release of Collateral or guarantors, cancellation or return of Loan Documents, or other contrary action which may have been taken by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds, and any such contrary action so taken shall be without prejudice to the Administrative Agent’s, the Lenders’ or such other Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment or application of proceeds having become final and irrevocable. The provisions of this Section 4.5 shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

4.6 Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. With respect to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for the account of any Lender hereunder as to which the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”) : (1) the Borrower has not in fact made such payment; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by the Borrower (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 4.6 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

94

4.7 Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ Books and Records. The Administrative Agent shall record the principal amount of the Term Loans owing to each Lender from time to time on its books. In addition, each Lender may note the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal of such Lender’s Term Loans in its books and records. Failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make such notation shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower with respect to the Term Loans. The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s books and records showing the Obligations and the transactions pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be admissible in any action or proceeding arising therefrom, and shall constitute rebuttably presumptive proof thereof (absent manifest error), irrespective of whether any Obligation is also evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument.

ARTICLE V.

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

5.1 Taxes.

(a) Unless otherwise required by applicable law, any and all payments by an Obligor to a Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes. In addition, the Obligors shall pay all Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) The Obligors agree jointly and severally to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by any Lender or the Administrative Agent 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. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent makes written demand therefor in accordance with Section 5.6(a). For the avoidance of doubt, an Obligor does not have to indemnify and hold harmless a Lender under this Section 5.1(b) to the extent that the Lender is otherwise compensated under a separate clause of this Section 5.1.

(c) If an Obligor shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, then:

(i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made;

(ii) the Obligor shall make such deductions and withholdings; and

(iii) the Obligor shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

95

(d) At the Administrative Agent’s request, within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment by an Obligor of Taxes, the relevant Obligor shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment, or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) 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 5.1 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.1), 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 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this clause(e) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (e), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (e) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This clause (e) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(f) Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.1(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

96

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

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

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

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

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

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

97

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

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to 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 Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, 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 Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) Each Lender agrees severally to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Obligor has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Obligors to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 14.19(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.

5.2 Changed Circumstances.

(a) Circumstances Affecting Benchmark Availability. Subject to clause (c) below, in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof or otherwise, if for any reason (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining Term SOFR for the applicable Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan on or prior to the first day of such Interest Period or (ii) the Required Lenders shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Term SOFR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans during such Interest Period and, in the case of clause (ii), the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent, then, in each case, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as a SOFR Loan, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or the affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (ii), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (A) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (B) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 5.4.

(b) Laws Affecting SOFR Availability. If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law 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 of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any SOFR Loan, or to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower and the other Lenders (an “Illegality Notice”). Thereafter, until each affected Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, (i) any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to convert any Loan to a SOFR Loan or continue any Loan as a SOFR Loan, shall be suspended and (ii) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”. Upon receipt of an Illegality Notice, the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans (in each case, if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”), on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 5.4.

99

(c) Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(i) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 5.2(c)(i)(A) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

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

(iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 5.2(c)(iv). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 5.2(c), 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 5.2(c).

(iv) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (1) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (2) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a

100

public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (1) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (2) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

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

(d) Illegality. If, in any applicable jurisdiction, the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Administrative Agent or any Lender to (i) perform any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (ii) to fund or maintain its participation in any Loan or (iii) issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest or fees with respect to any Loan, such Person shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, then, upon the Administrative Agent notifying the Borrower, and until such notice by such Person is revoked, any obligation of such Person to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest or fees with respect to any such Loan shall be suspended, and to the extent required by Applicable Law, cancelled. Upon receipt of such notice, the Loan Parties shall, (A) repay that Person’s participation in the Loans or other applicable Obligations on the last day of the Interest Period for each Loan, or on another applicable date with respect to another Obligation, occurring after the Administrative Agent has notified the Borrower or, in each case, if earlier, the date specified by such Person in the notice delivered to the Administrative Agent (being no earlier than the last day of any applicable grace period permitted by Applicable Law) and (B) take all reasonable actions requested by such Person to mitigate or avoid such illegality.

5.3 Increased Costs and Reduction of Return.

(a) If any Lender determines that due to any of (i) the introduction of or any change in the interpretation of any law or regulation (including any law or regulation relating to Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes)), (ii) the compliance by that Lender with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not

101

having the force of law), in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), after the later of the Agreement Date or the date such Lender became a party to this Agreement, (iii) compliance by that Lender with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any request, rule, guideline or directive thereunder or issued in connection therewith (whether or not having the force of law), regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, or (iv) the compliance by that Lender with any requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Term SOFR Term Loans, then, subject to clause (c) of this Section 5.3, the Borrower shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, upon demand (with a copy of such demand to be sent to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased costs.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that (i) the introduction of or compliance with any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, in each case of clauses (i) through (iii), after the later of the Agreement Date or the date such Lender became a party to this Agreement, (iv) compliance by that Lender with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any request, rule, guideline or directive thereunder or issued in connection therewith (whether or not having the force of law), regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, or (v) any requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation or other entity controlling such Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s or other entity’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its Commitments, Term Loans or Obligations under this Agreement, then, upon demand of such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, subject to clause (c) of this Section 5.3, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increase.

(c) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no Lender shall demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.3 if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements, if any (and such Lender so certifies to the Borrower).

5.4 Funding Losses. The Borrower shall reimburse each Lender and hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of:

(a) the failure of the Borrower to borrow a Term SOFR Term Loan after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Funding Notice;

102

(b) the failure of the Borrower to continue a Term SOFR Term Loan or convert a Term Loan into a Term SOFR Term Loan after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Continuation/Conversion; or

(c) the prepayment or other payment (including after acceleration thereof) of any Term SOFR Term Loans on a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period (including any payment in respect thereof pursuant to Section 5.9), including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its Term SOFR Term Loans. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by any Lender in connection with the foregoing.

5.5 [Reserved].

5.6 Certificates of Administrative Agent.

(a) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender claims reimbursement or compensation under this ARTICLE V (other than under Section 5.1(g)), the Administrative Agent or the affected Lender shall determine the amount thereof and shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to the Administrative Agent or the affected Lender, and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error; provided that, except for compensation under Section 5.1, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay the Administrative Agent or such Lender any compensation attributable to any period prior to the date that is ninety (90) days prior to the date on which the Administrative Agent or such Lender first gave notice to the Borrower of the circumstances entitling such Lender to compensation. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

(b) If the Administrative Agent claims reimbursement or compensation under Section 5.1(g), the Administrative Agent shall determine the amount thereof and shall deliver to a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to the Administrative Agent, and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Lender in the absence of manifest error. Such Lender shall pay the Administrative Agent the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

5.7 [Reserved].

5.8 Survival. The agreements and obligations of the Borrower in this ARTICLE V shall survive the payment of all other Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

In the event (a) any Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 5.3, (b) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 5.2, (c) any Obligor is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.1 or (d) any Lender is, or becomes an Affiliate of a Person that is, engaged in the business in which the Borrower is engaged, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing fee referred to in Section 13.2(a)), upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent,

103

require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 13.2), all of its interests, rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that (i) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (ii) except in the case of clause (d) above, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to such Lender in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of 100% of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Term Loans of such Lender, plus all fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender hereunder (including any amounts under Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4), (iv) such assignment is consummated within 180 days after the date on which the Borrower’s right under this Section arises, and (v) if the consent of the Administrative Agent is required pursuant to Section 13.2, such consents are obtained; provided, further, that if prior to any such assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s request or notice under Section 5.2 or 5.3 or demand for additional amounts under Section 5.1, as the case may be, shall cease to exist or become inapplicable for any reason, or if such Lender shall waive its rights in respect of such circumstances or event under Section 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3, as the case may be, then such Lender shall not thereafter be required to make such assignment hereunder.

Each Pension Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS and to the best knowledge of the Obligors, nothing has occurred which would cause the loss of such qualification.

(d) (i) No ERISA Event or Pension Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) no Pension Plan has any Unfunded Pension Liability that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iii) neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any material liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Pension Plan (other than premiums due and not delinquent under Section 4007 of ERISA) that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (iv) neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate

108

has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any material liability (and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA, would result in such liability) under Section 4201 of ERISA with respect to a Multi-employer Plan that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

For purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, the Dollar-equivalent principal amount of such Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date that such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that (i) the Dollar-equivalent principal amount of any such Indebtedness outstanding on the Agreement Date shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the Agreement Date, (ii) if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency (or in a different currency from such Indebtedness so being incurred), and such refinancing would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness, calculated as described in the following sentence, does not exceed (x) the outstanding or committed principal amount (whichever is higher) of such

126

Indebtedness being refinanced plus (y) the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing and (iii) the Dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency and incurred pursuant to a Credit Facility shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on, at the Borrower’s option, (1) the Agreement Date, (2) any date on which any of the respective commitments under such Credit Facility shall be reallocated between or among facilities or subfacilities thereunder, or on which such rate is otherwise calculated for any purpose thereunder or (3) the date of such incurrence. The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

Neither the Borrower nor any of the Restricted Subsidiaries shall create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien that secured obligations with respect to any Indebtedness on any of their respective properties or assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, except for (i) in the case of a Lien on any Collateral, either (x) the obligations secured by such Lien are expressly junior to the Obligations or (y) such Lien is a Permitted Lien; or (ii) in the case of a Lien on assets or property not constituting Collateral, either (x) the Obligations are equally and ratably secured with (or on a senior basis to) the obligations secured by such Lien or (y) such Lien is a Permitted Lien.

(F) postpone or delay any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any (i) scheduled payment of principal, interest or fees or (ii) other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or under any other Loan Document (except in respect of a waiver of the implementation of the Default Rate, a Default or Event of Default (other than a payment default or Event of Default), a mandatory prepayment or the MFN Protection, in each case as to which the approval of the Required Lenders shall be required);

(G) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein (other than waivers of the Default Rate) on any Term Loan, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document; provided that, (i) any waiver in respect of the implementation of the Default Rate, a Default or Event of Default (other than a payment default or Event of Default), a mandatory prepayment or the MFN Protection and (ii) any change in the definition of any ratio used in the calculation of any rate of interest or fees (or any component definitions thereof) and any amendments giving effect to any benchmark replacement provisions shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fee; or

(H) except as provided in Sections 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4, any change to Section 4.4 that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby;

(ii) notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, amendment or consent shall be effective to increase the obligations or adversely affect the rights of the Administrative Agent without the consent of the Administrative Agent;

provided, however, that (A) Schedule1.1 hereto (Lenders’ Commitments) may be amended from time to time by the Administrative Agent alone to reflect assignments of Commitments in accordance herewith and changes in Commitments in accordance with Section 2.2 or Section 2.4; (B) no amendment or waiver shall be made to Section 14.18 or to any other provision of any Loan Document as such provisions relate to the rights and obligations of any Arranger without the written consent of such Arranger; (C) the Fee Letter may be amended or waived in a writing signed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent; and (D) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of a particular Class (but does not adversely affect the Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any other Class in any material respect) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders stating that would be required to consent thereto under this Section 13.1 if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time.

141

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (x) the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended and (y) the accrued and unpaid amount of any principal, interest or fees payable to such Lender shall not be reduced, in either case, without the consent of such Lender.

(b) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders, the consent of Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at the Borrower’s request (and, if applicable, payment by the Borrower of the processing fee referred to in Section 13.2(a)), the Administrative Agent or an Eligible Assignee shall have the right (but not the obligation), with the Administrative Agent’s approval, to purchase from the Non-Consenting Lenders, and the Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall sell, all of the Non-Consenting Lenders’ interests, rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, in accordance with the procedures set forth in clauses (i) through (v) in the proviso to Section 5.9 and the last sentence in Section 5.9, as if each such Non-Consenting Lender is an assignor Lender thereunder, provided that no action by or consent of the Non-Consenting Lenders shall be necessary in connection with any assignment under this Section 13.1(b), and such assignment shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment by the Administrative Agent or Eligible Assignee of the applicable purchase price.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended

(i) to (x) cure any ambiguity, mistake, omission, defect, inconsistency obvious error or technical error and (y) effect administrative changes of a technical or immaterial nature and such amendment shall be deemed approved by the Lenders if the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice of such change and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment,

(ii) in accordance with Section 2.2 to incorporate the terms of any Incremental Term Loans and to provide for non-pro rata borrowings and payments of any amounts hereunder as between the Term Loans or other loans and any Commitments or other commitments in connection therewith,

(iii) in accordance with Section 2.3 to effectuate an Extension Amendment and to provide for non-pro rata borrowings and payments of any amounts hereunder as between the Term Loans and any Commitments in connection therewith,

142

(iv) in accordance with Section 2.4 to incorporate the terms of any Refinancing Term Commitments and to provide for non-pro rata borrowings and payments of any amounts hereunder as between the Term Loans or other loans and any Commitments or other commitments in connection therewith, or

(v) in accordance with Section 1.2(b) in connection with a change in GAAP or the application thereof, in each case, with the consent of the Administrative Agent but without the consent of any Lender (except as expressly provided in Section 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4, as applicable).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, amendments to or waivers of guarantees, Security Documents and related documents in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and may be, together with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, amended and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities or defects, (iii) to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (iv) to implement a collateral trust or similar arrangement in respect of any equipment.

13.2 Assignments; Participations.

(a) Any Lender may, with the written consent of (i) the Administrative Agent and (ii) so long as no Specified Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees (provided that (x) no such consent shall be required in connection with any assignment to an Approved Fund or to a Lender or to an Affiliate of a Lender and (y) 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)(each an “Assignee”) all, or any ratable part of all, of the Term Loans, the Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder; provided, however, (A) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall be given to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Assignee; (B) such Lender and its Assignee shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance; (C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any tax forms required by Section 5.1(f); and (D) the assignor Lender or Assignee shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent may elect to waive such processing fee in its sole discretion. Except in the case of an assignment to an Approved Fund or to a Lender or to an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Term Loans, all assignments shall be subject to the condition that the amount of Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject to any such assignment shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent.

143

(b) From and after the date that the Administrative Agent has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent has received any tax forms required by Section 5.1(f) (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the Administrative Agent has received payment of the above-referenced processing fee and the Administrative Agent has recorded such assignment in the Register as provided in Section 14.19 herein, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents 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 assignor Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assignor Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assignor Lender 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 assignor Lender 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 any other Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto or the attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien granted by any Obligor to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in the applicable Collateral; (ii) such assignor Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Obligor or the performance or observance by any Obligor of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with 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 assignor Lender or any other Lender, 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, including the discretionary rights and incidental 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 Lender.

(d) Immediately upon satisfaction of the requirements of Section 13.2(a), this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Term Loans or Commitments arising therefrom. Each Term Loan or Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce the applicable Term Loan or Commitment of the assignor Lender pro tanto.

(e) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions, or other Persons not Affiliates of the Borrower (a “Participant”), in each case that is not a Disqualified Lender, participating interests in any Term Loans, any Commitment of that Lender and the other interests of that Lender (the “Originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) the Originating Lender’s obligations under this

144

Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Originating Lender in connection with the Originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant has rights to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document except the matters set forth in Sections 13.1(a)(ii)(C) and (D) and Section 13.1(a)(iii), and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation; except that, if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same limitation as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement. Subject to paragraph (g) of this Section 13.2, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 5.1(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.1(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 13.2.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the FRB or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law.

(g) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.1 or 5.3 than the Originating Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participating interest sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participating interest to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent and the Borrower expressly waives the benefit of this provision at the time of such sale. A Participant that would be subject to the requirements of Section 5.1(f) if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.1 unless the Borrower is notified of the participating interest sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 5.1(f) as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.1(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender).

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.2 or any other provision of this Agreement, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, any Lender may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans and the Commitments under this Agreement to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries through (i) Dutch auctions open to all Lenders in accordance with the procedures set forth on Exhibit G or (ii) open market purchase on a non-pro rata basis, in each case subject to the following limitations; provided that:

(i) if the assignee is a Subsidiary, upon such assignment, transfer or contribution, the applicable assignee shall automatically be deemed to have contributed or transferred the principal amount of such Term Loans, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Borrower; or

145

(ii) if the assignee is the Borrower (including through contribution or transfers set forth in clause(i) above), (x) the principal amount of such Term Loans, along with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, so contributed, assigned or transferred to the Borrower shall be deemed automatically cancelled and extinguished on the date of such contribution, assignment or transfer, and (y) the Borrower shall promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent of such contribution, assignment or transfer of such Term Loans, and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable Term Loans in the Register.

(i) No assignment or, to the extent the DQ List has been posted on the Platform for all Lenders, participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Lender as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the applicable Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign or participate all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Borrower has consented to such assignment as otherwise contemplated by this Section 13.2, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Lender for the purpose of such assignment). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee or participant that becomes a Disqualified Lender after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Lender”), (x) such assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender or participant and (y) the execution by the Borrower of an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Lender. The rights and remedies against a Disqualified Lender under this Section 13.2 are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrower may have against such Disqualified Lender, and nothing in this Section 13.2 limits any rights and remedies the Borrower may have against any Lender that made an assignment to a Disqualified Lender.

(i) If any assignment is made to any Disqualified Lender without the Borrower’s prior consent in violation of clause (i) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Lender after the applicable Trade Date, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Lender and the Administrative Agent, (A) in the case of outstanding Term Loans held by such Disqualified Lender, prepay such Term Loans by paying the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such Term Loans, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and/or (B) require such Disqualified Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 13.2), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement and related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and other the other Loan Documents; provided that (1) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 13.2(a) and (2) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law.

146

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Lenders (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B)(x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Lender will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Lenders consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws (“Plan of Reorganization”), each Disqualified Lender party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Plan of Reorganization, (2) if such Disqualified Lender does vote on such Plan of Reorganization notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Plan of Reorganization in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the applicable court of competent jurisdiction effectuating the foregoing clause (2).

(iii) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Lenders provided by the Borrower and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on the Platform, including that portion of the Platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same.

ARTICLE XIV.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

14.1 Appointment and Authorization.

(a) Each Lender hereby designates and appoints Wells Fargo to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this ARTICLE XIV. The provisions of this ARTICLE XIV (other than Sections 14.9, 14.11, 14.15 and 14.16) are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor

147

any other Obligor shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Laws. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions which the Administrative Agent is expressly entitled to take or assert under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 11.2, and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by the Lenders.

(b) The Lenders hereby agree that the Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Obligors to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14.2 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article XIV and Article XV, as though such sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

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

14.3 Exculpatory Provisions. None of the Administrative Agent, or any Arranger or the Co-Manager, as applicable, shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the Administrative Agent, or the any Arranger or the Co-Manager, as applicable, or their respective Related Parties:

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

148

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

(iii) shall have any duty or responsibility to disclose, or shall be liable for the failure to disclose, to any Lender, any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Obligors or any of their Affiliates, that is communicated to, obtained or in the possession of, the Administrative Agent, or any Arranger, the Co-Manager or any of their respective Related Parties in any capacity, except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent herein;

(iv) shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 13.1 and 11.1) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment;

(v) shall be responsible for or have any duty or obligation to any Lender or participant or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; and

149

(vi) shall be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions of this Agreement relating to Disqualified Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (i) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (ii) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Term Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender.

14.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, shall not incur any liability for relying upon, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, request, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement, instrument or other document or conversation (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, made or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person or Persons. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or all Lenders if so required by Section 13.1) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Obligor), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

14.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of their receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article XI; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such request, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as they shall deem advisable.

14.6 Credit Decision. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent or any Arranger or any of their respective Related Parties has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent or any Arranger hereafter taken, including any consent to, and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Obligor of any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or any Arranger to any Lender as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent or any Arranger have disclosed material information in their (or their respective Related Parties’) possession. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent,

150

any Arranger, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of, appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Obligors and their Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also acknowledges and agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Obligors. Each Lender acknowledges, represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility and (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course and is entering into this Agreement as a Lender for the purpose of making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument such as a security or for the purpose of investing in the general performance or operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and each Lender agrees not to assert a claim under any federal or state securities law or otherwise in contravention of the foregoing. Each Lender represents and warrants that it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities.

14.7 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Administrative Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities as such term is defined in Section 15.10; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to such Administrative Agent-Related Persons of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such portion of such Indemnified Liabilities is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall ratably reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section 14.7 shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

151

14.8 Administrative Agent in Individual Capacity. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in or other securities of and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Obligors and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. Such Person and its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Obligors and their Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Obligors or such Affiliates) and the Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.

14.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the Lenders and the Borrower, such resignation to be effective at the end of such thirty (30) day period (or such earlier date on which a successor agent shall have accepted its appointment or as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders). Subject to the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders (with the prior consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld and such consent not to be required if a Specified Default has occurred and is continuing) shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders (or such other person reasonably acceptable to the Borrower) . If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XIV and Section 15.10 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

14.10 Withholding Tax.

(a) If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding Tax, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding Tax after taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other documentation required by Section 5.1(f) are not delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding Tax.

152

(b) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States of America or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including, for the avoidance of doubt, penalties and interest, and including any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, together with all costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs). The obligation of the Lenders under this subsection shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

14.11 Collateral Matters.

(a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, any sub-agent or attorney-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent under Section 14.2 or otherwise), and the Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, any sub-agent or attorney-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent under Section 14.2 or otherwise) shall hereby have the obligation to release, subject to the satisfaction of any conditions to release (if any) set forth herein, including the continuance of the applicable Administrative Agent’s Lien on any proceeds of released Collateral, any such Administrative Agent’s Liens upon any Collateral

(i) upon Full Payment of the Obligations;

(ii) constituting property being sold, transferred or disposed of (to any Person that is not an Obligor), if the sale, transfer or disposition is made in compliance with this Agreement (which shall, upon reasonable request by the Administrative Agent, be certified by the Borrower, and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certification without further inquiry; provided that no certification shall be required at any time with respect to any sales of items of rental equipment in the ordinary course of business so long as such Administrative Agent’s Lien continues in the proceeds of such Collateral);

(iii) constituting property in which the Obligors owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter;

(iv) constituting property leased to an Obligor under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement;

(v) constituting Relinquished Property, if such Relinquished Property shall have been delivered to the applicable Qualified Intermediary in accordance with the applicable exchange agreement and a first priority perfected security interest shall have been granted by the applicable exchanger to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties of a first priority perfected security interest in the rights of such exchanger in, to and under the related exchange agreement;

(vi) constituting any Like-Kind Exchange Account;

(vii) constituting property being sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred pursuant to any Securitization Transaction;

153

(viii) being or becoming an Excluded Asset (as defined in the Security Agreement); or

(ix) constituting property that is owned by a Guarantor that has been released from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreements or pursuant to this Section 14.11.

The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, to execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence and confirm the release of any Guarantor or Collateral pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender.

(b) In addition, the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to (i) subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by clause (o) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” and (ii) release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreements if such Person ceases to be required to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary; provided that, in the case of any Guarantor that becomes an Excluded Subsidiary due to becoming a non-Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary, any transfer of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor shall have been made as a result of a joint venture or other strategic transaction permitted under this Agreement entered into with one or more Persons none of which are Affiliates of the Borrower for a bona fide operating business purpose or (y) as provided in Section 13.1. Upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate the applicable Administrative Agent’s Liens upon particular types or items of Collateral, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations pursuant to this Section 14.11(b);

(c) Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of any authorization required pursuant to Sections 14.11(a) or 14.11(b) from the Required Lenders of the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate the applicable Administrative Agent’s Liens upon particular types or items of Collateral, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreements, and upon prior written request by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of such Administrative Agent’s Liens upon such Collateral or to subordinate its interest therein, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreements; provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens or Guarantee without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Obligors in respect of) all interests retained by the Obligors, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of such Collateral.

154

(d) The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Obligors or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that the applicable Administrative Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Administrative Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Administrative Agent’s own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that the Administrative Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing.

14.12 Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments.

(a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of the Required Lenders, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of the Required Lenders, set-off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to any Obligor or any accounts of any Obligor now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by the Administrative Agent, take or cause to be taken any action to enforce its rights under this Agreement or against any Obligor, including the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the applicable Collateral.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, if at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations of any Obligor to such Lender arising under, or relating to, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from the Administrative Agent in excess of such Lender’s ratable portion of all such distributions by the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall promptly (A) turn the same over to the Administrative Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Administrative Agent, or in same day funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (B) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments; provided, however, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment.

14.13 Agency for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting the Lenders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with the UCC or under other applicable law, as applicable may be perfected by possession. Should any Lender (other than the Administrative Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions.

155

14.14 Payments by Administrative Agent to Lenders. All payments to be made by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Lenders shall be made by bank wire transfer or internal transfer of immediately available funds to each such Lender pursuant to wire transfer instructions delivered in writing to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Agreement Date (or if such Lender is an Assignee, on the applicable Assignment and Acceptance), or pursuant to such other wire transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to the Administrative Agent. Concurrently with each such payment, the Administrative Agent shall identify whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents principal, interest or fees on the Term Loans or otherwise. Unless the Administrative Agent receives notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that the Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when required, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date in immediately available funds and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each such Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower has not made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each applicable Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.

14.15 Defaulting Lenders. All Term Loans shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares thereof. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any applicable Term Loans hereunder, nor shall any applicable Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Term Loans hereunder, (ii) no failure by any Lender to perform its obligation to make any Term Loans hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligation to make any Term Loans hereunder, and (iii) the obligations of each Lender hereunder shall be several, not joint and several.

(a) Unless the Administrative Agent receives notice from a Lender on or prior to the Agreement Date or, with respect to any Borrowing after the Agreement Date, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to the Administrative Agent that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that each such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds on the Funding Date. Furthermore, the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If any Lender has not transferred its full Pro Rata Share to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, and the Administrative Agent has transferred the corresponding amount to the Borrower, on the Business Day following such Funding Date such Lender shall make such amount available to the Administrative Agent, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for that day. A notice by the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to amounts owing shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If each Lender’s full Pro Rata Share is transferred to the Administrative Agent as required, the amount transferred to the Administrative Agent shall constitute that Lender’s applicable Term Loan for all purposes of this Agreement. If that amount is not transferred to the Administrative

156

Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date, the Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate applicable at the time to the applicable Term Loans comprising that particular Borrowing. The failure of any Lender to make any applicable Term Loan on any Funding Date shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make an applicable Term Loan on that Funding Date. No Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to advance such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(i) in determining the Required Lenders, any Lender that at the time is a Defaulting Lender (and the Term Loans and/or Commitment of such Defaulting Lender) shall be excluded and disregarded;

(ii) the Borrower shall have the right, at its sole expense and effort, (A) to seek one or more Persons reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to each become a substitute Lender and assume all or part of the outstanding Term Loans and Commitments of any Defaulting Lender and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and any such substitute Lender shall execute and deliver, and such Defaulting Lender shall thereupon be deemed to have executed and delivered, an appropriately completed Assignment and Acceptance to effect such substitution or (B) upon notice to the Administrative Agent, to prepay the Term Loans and, at the Borrower’s option, terminate any outstanding Commitments of such Defaulting Lender, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty; and

(iii) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 14.12(b)) may, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account and, subject to any applicable Requirement of Law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, second, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, third, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement and fourth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a prepayment of the principal amount of any Term Loans in respect of which a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Term Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Term Loans of any Defaulting Lender.

157

(b) The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 14.15 are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the non-Defaulting Lenders may have against such Defaulting Lender. The arrangements permitted or required by this Section 14.15 shall be permitted under this Agreement, notwithstanding any limitation on Liens or the pro rata sharing provisions or otherwise.

14.16 Concerning the Collateral and the Related Loan Documents.

(a) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the other Loan Documents, including any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and/or Collateral Trust Agreement, for the ratable benefit and obligation of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable, of their respective powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that the Term Loans and all interest, fees and expenses hereunder constitute one Indebtedness, secured pari passu by all of the applicable Collateral, subject to the order of distribution set forth in Section 4.4.

(b) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into (i) the Security Documents, (ii) any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, (iii) any amendments to, waivers of or supplements to or other modifications of the Security Documents, Collateral Trust Agreement or any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, in each case with respect to the preceding clauses(i), (ii) and (iii), in connection with the incurrence by any Obligor of Incremental Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans or other Indebtedness secured by a Permitted Lien (each, an “Intercreditor Agreement Supplement”) to permit such Incremental Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans, or other Indebtedness to be secured by a valid, perfected Lien on Collateral (with such priority as may be designated by the relevant Obligor, as and to the extent such priority is permitted by the Loan Documents)(it being agreed that any Lien securing such Indebtedness (other than Incremental Term Loans and Refinancing Term Loans) shall be granted pursuant to security documents separate from the Security Documents) and (iv) any Incremental Term Amendment, Extension Amendment or Refinancing Amendment as provided in Sections 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4, respectively, and any amendment as provided in Section 1.2(b). Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Security Documents, any applicable intercreditor agreement, including any applicable Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, any Intercreditor Agreement Supplement, any Incremental Term Amendment, any Extension Amendment or any Refinancing Amendment and the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders.

14.17 Relation Among Lenders. The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in the case of the Administrative Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender.

158

14.18 Arrangers. Each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledges that, other than any rights and duties explicitly assigned to the Arrangers and the Co-Manager under this Agreement, the Arrangers and the Co-Manager do not have any obligations hereunder and shall not be responsible or accountable to any other party hereto for any action or failure to act hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, no Arranger or Co-Manager shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on the Arrangers or the Co-Manager in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

14.19 The Register.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall maintain a register (each, a “Register”), which shall include a master account and a subsidiary account for each applicable Lender and in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of each Term Loan comprising such Borrowing and any Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the effective date and amount of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and the parties thereto, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Obligor and each Lender’s ratable share thereof. Each Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any applicable Lender (with respect to its own interest only) at the respective offices of the Administrative Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Any failure of the Administrative Agent to record in the applicable Register, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder (or under any Loan Document) to pay any amount owing with respect to the Term Loans or provide the basis for any claim against the Administrative Agent. The Obligations are registered obligations and the right, title and interest of any Lender and their assignees in and to such Obligations shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the applicable Register. Solely for purposes of this Section 14.19 and for Tax purposes only, the Administrative Agent shall be the Borrower’s non-fiduciary agent for purposes of maintaining the applicable Register (but the Administrative Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to the Borrower or any other Person on account of any inaccuracies contained in the applicable Register). This Section 14.19 shall be construed so that the Obligations are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (and any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or such regulations).

(b) In the event that any Lender sells participations in any Term Loan, Commitment or other interest of such Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, such Lender shall maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Obligations held by it and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of the Obligations which is the subject of the participation (the “Participant Register”). An Obligation may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each note shall expressly so provide). Any participation of such Obligations may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register. The Participant Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

159

14.20 The Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE AGENT-RELATED PERSONS DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT-RELATED PERSON IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall any Administrative Agent-Related Person have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s, any Obligor’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials or notices through the Platform, any other electronic platform or electronic messaging service, or through the internet, except to the extent the liability of any Administrative Agent-Related Person is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Administrative Agent-Related Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

14.21 Certain ERISA Matters.

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

14.22 Recovery of Erroneous Payments.

(a) Each Lender, each other Secured Party and any other party hereto hereby severally agrees that if (i) the Administrative Agent notifies (which such notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error) such Lender or any other Secured Party (or the Lender Affiliate of a Secured Party) or any other Person that has received funds from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, either for its own account or on behalf of a Lender or other Secured Party (each such recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) or (ii) any Payment Recipient receives any payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted or received in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then, in each case, an error in payment shall be presumed to have been made (any such amounts specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 14.22(a), whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”), then, in each case, such Payment Recipient is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of its receipt of such Erroneous Payment; provided that nothing in this Section shall require the Administrative Agent to provide any of the notices specified in clauses (i) or (ii) above. Each Payment Recipient agrees that it shall not assert any right or claim to any Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

161

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

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

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (c), from any Lender that is a Payment Recipient or an Affiliate of a Payment Recipient (such unrecovered amount as to such Lender, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), then at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and upon the Administrative Agent’s written notice to such Lender (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have made a cashless assignment of the full face amount of the portion of its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) to the Administrative Agent or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s applicable lending affiliate in an amount that is equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such assigned amount, without further consent or approval of any party hereto and without any payment by the Administrative Agent or its applicable lending affiliate as the assignee of such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (1) any assignment contemplated in this clause (d) shall be made without any requirement for any payment or other consideration paid by the applicable assignee or received by the assignor, (2) the provisions of this clause (d) shall govern in the event of any conflict with the terms and conditions of Section 13.2 and (3) the Administrative Agent may reflect such assignments in the Register without further consent or action by any other Person.

162

(e) Each party hereto hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent (1) shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Payment Recipient with respect to such amount and (2) is authorized to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 14.22 or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, (y) the receipt of an Erroneous Payment by a Payment Recipient shall not for the purpose of this Agreement be treated as a payment, prepayment, repayment, discharge or other satisfaction of any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making a payment on the Obligations and (z) to the extent that an Erroneous Payment was in any way or at any time credited as payment or satisfaction of any of the Obligations, the Obligations or any part thereof that were so credited, and all rights of the Payment Recipient, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment or satisfaction had never been received.

(f) Each party’s obligations under this Section 14.22 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of right or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

(g) Nothing in this Section 14.22 will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of the Administrative Agent hereunder arising from any Payment Recipient’s receipt of an Erroneous Payment.

14.23 Québec Collateral. For greater certainty, and without limiting the powers of the Administrative Agent or any other Person acting as mandatary (agent) of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms hereof or of the Canadian Security Documents, for the purposes of holding any hypothec granted pursuant to the laws of the Province of Québec, each of the Secured Parties hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and, to the extent necessary, ratifies the appointment and authorization of the Administrative Agent, to act as the hypothecary representative of the applicable Secured Parties as contemplated under Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec, and to enter into, to take and to hold on their behalf, and for their benefit, any hypothec, and to exercise such powers and duties that are conferred upon the Administrative Agent under any related deed of hypothec. The Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise, except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof, all rights and remedies given to the Administrative Agent pursuant to any such deed of hypothec and applicable Law. Any person who becomes a Secured Party shall, by its execution of an Assignment and Acceptance, be deemed to have consented to and confirmed the Administrative Agent as the person acting as hypothecary representative holding the aforesaid hypothecs as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Secured Party, all actions taken by the Administrative Agent in such capacity. The substitution of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Article XIV also constitute the substitution of the Administrative Agent as hypothecary representative as aforesaid.

15.1 No Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, remedy or option under this Agreement or any present or future supplement hereto, or in any other agreement between or among the Obligors and the Administrative Agent and/or any Lender, or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by the Administrative Agent or any Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on any occasion shall affect or diminish the Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s rights thereafter to require strict performance by the Obligors of any provision of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may proceed directly to collect the Obligations without any prior recourse to the Collateral. The Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s rights under this Agreement will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have.

15.2 Severability. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any instrument or agreement required hereunder.

167

15.10 Indemnity of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. The Obligors agree to defend, indemnify and hold all Administrative Agent-Related Persons, each Arranger, the Co-Manager and each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, counsel, representatives, agents and attorneys-in-fact (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless from and against (and will reimburse each Indemnified Person as the same are incurred for) any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits (whether brought by the Borrower or any other Person), costs, charges, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs and reasonable legal costs and expenses of the Lenders for one law firm retained by such Lenders (and, in the event of any conflict of interest among Lenders, one additional law firm in each relevant jurisdiction for Lenders subject to such conflict)) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following repayment of the Term Loans and the termination, resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or replacement of any Lender) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted or awarded against any such Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, or the transactions contemplated hereby, or directly or indirectly arising out of the use, generation, manufacture, production, storage, release, threatened release, discharge, disposal or presence of a Contaminant relating to the Borrower’s, any Guarantor’s or any of their Subsidiaries’ operations, business or property, or any action taken or omitted by any such Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing, including, with respect to any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith (including any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings, and any appellate proceeding) related to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or the Term Loans or the use of the proceeds thereof, whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that the Obligors shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Person with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities (i) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith (including any breach of this Agreement constituting bad faith) or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person (or any Related Party thereof), (ii) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Obligor against such Indemnified Person for a material breach of any of the Loan Documents by such Indemnified Person (or any Related Party thereof), if the Borrower or such Obligor has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (iii) result from claims of any Indemnified Person (or any Related Party thereof) solely against one or more Indemnified Persons (or any Related Party thereof) or disputes between or among Indemnified Persons (or any Related Party thereof), in each case, except to the extent such claim is determined to have been caused by an act or omission by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or such dispute involves the Administrative Agent or any Arranger in its capacity as such. No Obligor shall, without the prior written consent of the affected Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action, suit, investigation, litigation or proceeding against such Indemnified Person in respect of which indemnity could have been sought under this Section 5.10 by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (a) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit, investigation, litigation or proceeding and (b) does not include any statement as to any admission of fault or culpability by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person. The agreements in this Section shall survive payment of all other

168

Obligations. The Obligors shall not be liable to any Indemnified Person for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Loan Documents; provided that this sentence shall not limit the Obligors’ indemnification obligations as set forth in this Section 15.10 to the extent such special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages are in any third party claim with respect to which an Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder.

15.11 WAIVER OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, ETC. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE OBLIGORS SHALL NOT ASSERT, AND HEREBY WAIVE, AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NO OTHER PERSON SHALL HAVE, ANY CLAIM AGAINST ANY INDEMNIFIED PERSON, 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 CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, ANY TERM LOAN OR THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREOF. NO INDEMNIFIED PERSON REFERRED TO IN SECTION 15.10 SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE BY UNINTENDED RECIPIENTS OF ANY INFORMATION OR OTHER MATERIALS DISTRIBUTED TO SUCH UNINTENDED RECIPIENTS BY SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON THROUGH TELECOMMUNICATIONS, ELECTRONIC OR OTHER INFORMATION TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (OTHER THAN FOR DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE BAD FAITH, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON AS FOUND BY A FINAL, NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT OF A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION),IT BEING UNDERSTOOD THAT THE USE OF ELECTRONIC TELECOMMUNICATIONS OR OTHER INFORMATION TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS WILL NOT ITSELF CONSTITUTE BAD FAITH, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

15.12 Final Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are intended by the Obligors, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to be the final, complete, and exclusive expression of the agreement between them relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes any and all prior oral or written agreements relating to the subject matter hereof except for the Fee Letter.

15.13 Electronic Execution; Electronic Records; Counterparts. This Agreement, any Loan Document and any other Communication, including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. Each of the Obligors, the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on such Person to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the

169

authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is not under any obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by such Person pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf the Borrower and/or any Lender without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (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). The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any Communication (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution or signed using an Electronic Signature) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof).

Each Obligor and each Lender hereby waives (i) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document, and (ii) any claim against the Administrative Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates for any liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures, including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Obligors to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.

15.14 Captions. The captions contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, are without substantive meaning and should not be construed to modify, enlarge, or restrict any provision.

170

15.15 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, if an Event of Default exists or the Term Loans have been accelerated, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any Guarantor, any such notice being waived by each Obligor 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 by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender or any Affiliate of such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any Guarantor against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE ANY RIGHT OF SET-OFF, BANKER’S LIEN OR THE LIKE AGAINST ANY DEPOSIT ACCOUNT OR PROPERTY OF THE BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR HELD OR MAINTAINED BY SUCH LENDER WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS.

15.16 Confidentiality.

(a) The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and each Lender may, in each case with the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), issue and disseminate to the public general information describing the credit accommodation entered into pursuant to this Agreement, including the name and address of the Borrower and a general description of the Borrower’s and the Guarantors’ business and may use the Borrower’s and the Guarantors’ names in advertising and other promotional material.

(b) Each Lender and the Administrative Agent severally agrees to keep confidential all information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (x) provided to the Administrative Agent or such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (y) obtained by the Administrative Agent or such Lender based on a review of the books and records of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent that such information (i) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Administrative Agent or such Lender or any Affiliates thereof, or (ii) was or becomes available on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or the Guarantors other than by breach of this Section 15.16, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Borrower or the Guarantors known to the Administrative Agent or such Lender; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent and any Lender may disclose such information (in the case of clauses (A) through (I) below, except for any routine examination by any Governmental Authority or regulatory authority, after notice to the Borrower, unless such notice is prohibited by applicable law)

(A) at the request or pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Authority or regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory authority) to which the Administrative Agent or such Lender is subject or in connection with an examination of the Administrative Agent or such Lender by any such Governmental Authority or regulatory authority;

(B) pursuant to subpoena or other court process;

(C) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law;

171

(D) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation or proceeding (including, but not limited to, any bankruptcy proceeding) to which the Administrative Agent, any Lender or their respective Affiliates may be party;

(E) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

(F) to the Administrative Agent’s or any of its Affiliate’s or such Lender’s or any of its Affiliate’s employees, directors, officers, independent auditors, accountants, attorneys, or other professional advisors, service providers and insurance and reinsurance brokers (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and shall agree to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder);

(G) to any prospective Participant or Assignee under any Assignment and Acceptance, actual or potential, provided that such prospective Participant or Assignee agrees to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder;

(H) as expressly permitted under the terms of any other document or agreement regarding confidentiality to which the Borrower or a Guarantor is a party or is deemed a party with the Administrative Agent or such Lender; and

(I) to its Affiliates (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and shall agree to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder).

In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information contained in this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Term Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein prohibits any individual from communicating or disclosing information regarding suspected violations of laws, rules, or regulations to a governmental, regulatory, or self-regulatory authority.

15.17 Conflicts with Other Loan Documents. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (or in another Loan Document by specific reference to the applicable provision contained in this Agreement), if any provision contained in this Agreement conflicts with any provision of any other Loan Document, the provision contained in this Agreement shall govern and control.

172

15.18 No Fiduciary Relationship. Each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that, in connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Obligors, on the one hand, and Wells Fargo, the Arrangers, the Co-Manager, the Lenders and each of their Affiliates through which they may be acting (collectively, the “Applicable Entities”), on the other hand, have an arms-length business relationship that creates no fiduciary duty on the part of any Applicable Entity, and (a) each Obligor (i) expressly disclaims any fiduciary relationship and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against any of Applicable Entities with respect to any breach or alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby, (ii) the Obligors have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent that they have deemed it appropriate and (iii) the Obligors are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents and (b)(i) each Applicable Entity is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for any Obligor or any Affiliate of any Obligor, or any other Person; (ii) none of the Applicable Entities has any obligation to the Obligors or any of their Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Applicable Entities and their respective Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Obligors and their Affiliates, and none of the Applicable Entities has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Obligors or their Affiliates.

15.19 Judgment Currency. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert an amount due hereunder in the currency in which it is due (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange applied shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the Administrative Agent could purchase in the New York foreign exchange market, the Original Currency with the Second Currency on the date two (2) Business Days preceding that on which judgment is given. Each Obligor agrees that its obligation in respect of any Original Currency due from it hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment or payment in such other currency, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following the date the Administrative Agent receives payment of any sum so adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency, the Administrative Agent may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase, in the New York foreign exchange market, the Original Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so paid; and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased or could have been so purchased is less than the amount originally due in the Original Currency, each Obligor agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such payment or judgment to indemnify the Administrative Agent against such loss. The term “rate of exchange” in this Section 15.19 means the spot rate at which the Administrative Agent, in accordance with normal practices, is able on the relevant date to purchase the Original Currency with the Second Currency, and includes any premium and costs of exchange payable in connection with such purchase.
