New Term III Termination Date | Aggregate principal amount of New Term III Loans outstanding

Section 2.1. Revolving Credit Commitments.
(a) [reserved]
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Five-Year Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans (“Five-Year Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time during the Five-Year Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which, when added to such Lender’s Five-Year Commitment Percentage of the L/C Obligations then outstanding, does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Five-Year Commitment. During the Five-Year Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the Five-Year Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Five-Year Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event (after giving effect to the use of proceeds of any Borrowing) shall (i) the amount of any Lender’s Five-Year Commitment Percentage multiplied by the amount of a Borrowing of Five-Year Loans exceed such Lender’s Five-Year Available Commitment at the time of such Borrowing or (ii) the aggregate amount of Five-Year

31
Extensions of Credit and Five-Year Competitive Loans at any one time outstanding exceed the aggregate Five-Year Commitments then in effect of all Lenders.
(c) The Five-Year Loans may from time to time be (i) Eurodollar Loans, (ii) ABR Loans or (iii) a combination thereof, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.6; provided that no Five-Year Loan shall be made as a Eurodollar Loan after the day that is one month prior to the 2020 Extended Termination Date.
(d) The Borrower (upon receipt of requisite authorization from its Board of Directors) and any one or more Lenders (including New Lenders) may from time to time agree that such Lenders shall (x) make available to the Borrower an additional credit facility (the “Incremental Facility” and any loans thereunder, the “Incremental Loans”), which credit facility shall take the form of (i) a revolving credit facility which matures on or after the New Term III Termination Date or (ii) term loans which mature on or after the New Term III Termination Date and/or (y) increase the amount of their Five-Year Commitment, or (in the case of a New Lender) make available a Five-Year Commitment which matures on the 2020 Extended Termination Date, in either such case by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Facility Activation Notice specifying (i) the aggregate principal amount of such increase and the Facility or Facilities involved, (ii) the Incremental Facility Closing Date and (iii) in the case of an Incremental Facility, the applicable Incremental Facility Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (I) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Facility Commitments and any increase in the Five-Year Commitments after the Ninth Amendment Effective Date shall not exceed $500,000,000 in the aggregate, (II) no increase pursuant to this paragraph may be obtained after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or Event of Default or if a Default or Event of Default would result therefrom, (III) any increase effected pursuant to this paragraph shall be in a minimum amount of at least $10,000,000, (IV) the weighted average life to maturity of any new term loan Incremental Facility shall be equal to or greater than the weighted average life to maturity of the New Term III Loans, (V) other than amortization, pricing, fees and maturity date, each Incremental Facility (x) shall rank pari passu with the Term Facility, the New Term Facility, the New Term III Facility and the Five-Year Facility, as applicable, in right of payment and security, (y) shall have the same terms as the Term Facility (or (I) if the Term Facility shall have been terminated, the New Term Facility or (II) if the Term Facility and the New Term Facility shall have been terminated, the New Term III Facility) or the Five-Year Facility, as applicable, or such terms as are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, and (z) except as set forth above, shall be treated substantially the same as the existing Term Facility (or (I) if the Term Facility shall have been terminated, the New Term Facility or (II) if the Term Facility and the New Term Facility shall have been terminated, the New Term III Facility) or the Five-Year Facility, as applicable (in each case, including with respect to mandatory and voluntary prepayments) and (VI) any Incremental Facility and/or increase in Five-Year Commitments shall be effected pursuant to documentation and procedures reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (including, if applicable, procedures to ensure that outstandings are held ratably by the applicable Lenders). No Lender shall have any obligation to participate in any increase described in this paragraph unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion.

32
(e) Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity which, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), elects to become a “Lender” under this Agreement in connection with any transaction described in Section 2.1(d) shall execute a New Lender Supplement (each, a “New Lender Supplement”), substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 hereto, whereupon such bank, financial institution or other entity (a “New Lender”) shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.
Section 2.2. Procedure for Revolving Credit Borrowing. The Borrower may borrow Five-Year Loans under the Commitments on any Business Day; provided that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 P.M., New York City time, (a) three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, if all or any part of the requested Five-Year Loans are to be Eurodollar Loans, or (b) on the requested Borrowing Date, otherwise), specifying (i) the Facility under which the Borrowing is to be made, (ii) the amount to be borrowed, (iii) the requested Borrowing Date, (iv) whether the Borrowing is to be of Eurodollar Loans, ABR Loans or a combination thereof and (v) if the Borrowing is to be entirely or partly of Eurodollar Loans, the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Periods therefor. Any Loans made on the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date shall be ABR Loans. Each Borrowing under the Commitments shall be in an amount equal to $10,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. Each relevant Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 9.2 prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such Borrowing will then immediately be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.
Section 2.3. Competitive Borrowings.
(a) The Competitive Bid Option. In addition to the Five-Year Loans that may be made available pursuant to Section 2.1, the Borrower may, as set forth in this Section 2.3, request the Lenders to make offers to make Competitive Loans to the Borrower. The Lenders may, but shall have no obligation to, make such offers, and the Borrower may, but shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers in the manner set forth in this Section 2.3.
(b) Competitive Bid Request. When the Borrower wishes to request offers to make Competitive Loans under this Section 2.3, it shall transmit to the Administrative Agent a Competitive Bid Request to be received no later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on (x) the fourth Business Day prior to the Borrowing Date proposed therein, in the case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Competitive Loans or (y) the Business Day immediately preceding the Borrowing Date proposed therein, in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, specifying:

33
(i) the Facility under which the Borrowing is to be made,
(ii) the proposed Borrowing Date,
(iii) the aggregate principal amount of such Borrowing, which shall be $10,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof,
(iv) the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period contained in Section 1.1, and
(v) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be of Eurodollar Competitive Loans or Fixed Rate Loans.
A Competitive Bid Request that does not conform substantially to the format of Exhibit C-1 may be rejected by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of such rejection. The Borrower may request offers to make Competitive Loans for more than one Interest Period in a single Competitive Bid Request. No Competitive Bid Request shall be given within three Business Days of any other Competitive Bid Request pursuant to which the Borrower has made a Competitive Borrowing.
(c) Invitation for Competitive Bids. Promptly after its receipt of a Competitive Bid Request (but, in any event, no later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date of such receipt) conforming to the requirements of paragraph (b) above, the Administrative Agent shall send to each of the relevant Lenders an Invitation for Competitive Bids which shall constitute an invitation by the Borrower to each such Lender to bid, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make Competitive Loans pursuant to the Competitive Bid Request.
(d) Submission and Contents of Competitive Bids. (i) Each Lender to which an Invitation for Competitive Bids is sent may submit a Competitive Bid containing an offer or offers to make Competitive Loans in response to such Invitation for Competitive Bids. Each Competitive Bid must comply with the requirements of this paragraph (d) and must be submitted to the Administrative Agent at its offices specified in Section 9.2 not later than (x) 9:30 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the proposed Borrowing Date, in the case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Competitive Loans or (y) 9:30 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing, in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing; provided that any Competitive Bids submitted by the Administrative Agent in the capacity of a Lender may only be submitted if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower of the terms of the offer or offers contained therein not later than fifteen minutes prior to the deadline for the other Lenders. A Competitive Bid submitted by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph (d) shall be irrevocable.
(ii) Each Competitive Bid shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit C-3 and shall specify:
(A) the date of the proposed Borrowing and the Facility under which it is to be made,

34
(B) the principal amount of the Competitive Loan for which each such offer is being made, which principal amount (w) may be greater than, equal to or less than the Commitment of the quoting Lender, (x) must be in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (y) may not exceed the principal amount of Competitive Loans for which offers were requested and (z) may be subject to a limitation as to the maximum aggregate principal amount of Competitive Loans for which offers being made by such quoting Lender may be accepted,
(C) in the case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Competitive Loans, the Margin offered for each such Competitive Loan, expressed as a percentage (specified in increments of 1/10,000th of 1%) to be added to or subtracted from such base rate,
(D) in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, the rate of interest per annum (specified in increments of 1/10,000th of 1%) offered for each such Competitive Loan, and
(E) the identity of the quoting Lender.
A Competitive Bid may set forth up to five separate offers by the quoting Lender with respect to each Interest Period specified in the related Invitation for Competitive Bids. Any Competitive Bid shall be disregarded by the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent determines that it: (A) is not substantially in the form of Exhibit C-3 or does not specify all of the information required by Section 2.3(d)(ii); (B) contains qualifying, conditional or similar language (except for a limitation on the maximum principal amount which may be accepted); (C) proposes terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Invitation for Competitive Bids or (D) arrives after the time set forth in Section 2.3(d)(i).
(e) Notice to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall promptly (and, in any event, by 10:00 A.M., New York City time) notify the Borrower, by telecopy, of all the Competitive Bids made (including all disregarded bids), the Competitive Bid Rate and the principal amount of each Competitive Loan in respect of which a Competitive Bid was made and the identity of the Lender that made each bid. The Administrative Agent shall send a copy of all Competitive Bids (including all disregarded bids) to the Borrower for its records as soon as practicable after completion of the bidding process set forth in this Section 2.3.
(f) Acceptance and Notice by the Borrower. The Borrower may in its sole discretion, subject only to the provisions of this paragraph (f), accept or reject any Competitive Bid (other than any disregarded bid) referred to in paragraph (e) above. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone, confirmed immediately thereafter by telecopy in the form of a Competitive Bid Accept/Reject Letter, whether and to what extent it wishes to accept any or all of the bids referred to in paragraph (e) above not later than (x) 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the proposed Borrowing Date, in the case of a Competitive Eurodollar Borrowing or (y) 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the proposed Borrowing Date, in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing; provided that:
(i) the failure by the Borrower to give such notice shall be deemed to be a rejection of all the bids referred to in paragraph (e) above,

35
(ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Competitive Bids accepted by the Borrower may not exceed the lesser of (A) the principal amount set forth in the related Competitive Bid Request and (B) the excess, if any, of the aggregate Five-Year Commitments of all Five-Year Lenders or the aggregate Incremental Facility Commitments of all Incremental Facility Lenders, as applicable, then in effect over the aggregate principal amount of all Five-Year Loans or Incremental Loans, as applicable, outstanding immediately prior to the making of such Competitive Loans,
(iii) if made under the Five-Year Facility, the aggregate principal amount of the Competitive Bids accepted by the Borrower may not exceed the lesser of (A) the principal amount set forth in the related Competitive Bid Request and (B) the excess, if any, of the aggregate Five-Year Commitments of all Five-Year Lenders then in effect over the aggregate principal amount of all Five-Year Extensions of Credit outstanding immediately prior to the making of such Competitive Loans, and
(iv) The Borrower may not accept any Competitive Bid that is disregarded by the Administrative Agent pursuant to 2.3(d)(ii) or that otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Agreement.
A notice given by the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (f) shall be irrevocable.
(g) Allocation by Administrative Agent. If offers are made by two or more Lenders with the same Competitive Bid Rates for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which such offers are accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of Competitive Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such Lenders as nearly as possible (in integral multiples of $1,000,000, as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate) in proportion to the aggregate principal amounts of such offers.
(h) Notification of Acceptance. The Administrative Agent shall promptly (and, in any event, by 11:30 A.M., New York City time) notify each bidding Lender whether or not its Competitive Bid has been accepted (and if so, in what amount and at what Competitive Bid Rate), and each successful bidder will thereupon become bound, subject to the other applicable conditions hereof, to make the Competitive Loan in respect of which its bid has been accepted.
Section 2.4. Termination or Reduction of Five-Year Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than two Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Five-Year Commitments when no Five-Year Loans or Letters of Credit are then outstanding or, from time to time, to reduce the unutilized portion of the Five-Year Commitments. Any such reduction pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be in an amount equal to $10,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof and shall reduce permanently the Five-Year Commitments then in effect, and the fees payable pursuant to Section 2.10 shall then reflect the reduced Five-Year Commitments.

36
Section 2.5. Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days prior thereto in the case of Eurodollar Loans and at least one Business Day prior thereto in the case of ABR Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans; provided, that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.16. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with accrued interest and fees to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower shall not prepay the Competitive Loans except pursuant to Article VII, with the consent of the Lender which has made such Competitive Loan or as provided in the related Competitive Bid Request.
Section 2.6. Conversion and Continuation Options.
(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans and Eurodollar Term Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day’s prior irrevocable notice of such election; provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans or Eurodollar Term Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans or Eurodollar Term Loans, as applicable, by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election. Any such notice of conversion to Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans or Eurodollar Term Loans shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. All or any part of outstanding Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans, Eurodollar Term Loans and ABR Loans may be converted as provided herein; provided that (i) no Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loan or Eurodollar Term Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) no Five-Year Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loan after the date that is one month prior to the 2020 Extended Termination Date, (iii) no Term Loan or New Term Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Term Loan after the date that is one month prior to the 2020 Extended Termination Date and (iv) no New Term III Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Term Loan after the date that is one month prior to the New Term III Termination Date.
(b) Any Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans and Eurodollar Term Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans; provided that no Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loan or Eurodollar Term Loan may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the 2020 Extended Termination Date

37
(or, in the case of New Term III Loans, one month prior to the New Term III Termination Date); and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans or Eurodollar Term Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period.
Section 2.7. Minimum Amounts of Eurodollar Borrowings. All borrowings, conversions and continuations of Five-Year Loans, Term Loans, New Term Loans and New Term III Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Five-Year Loans, Term Loans, New Term Loans or New Term III Loans, as applicable, comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be equal to $10,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and so that there shall not be more than 20 Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding at any one time.

(d) The entries made in the Register and accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 2.8 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Section 2.9. Interest Rates and Payment Dates.
(a) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.

39
Section 2.10. Fees.
(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Lenders, such fees as have been agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent immediately prior to the Tenth Amendment Effective Date.

Section 2.11. Computation of Interest and Fees.
(a) Interest payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to ABR Loans and Competitive Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. Fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.
(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.11(a).
Section 2.12. Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof

to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans.
Section 2.13. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.
(a) Each borrowing of Five-Year Loans, Term Loans, New Term Loans and New Term III Loans from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any fee hereunder and, subject to the last sentence of Section 2.4, any reduction of the Five-Year Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the Five-Year Commitment Percentages, Term Percentage, New Term Percentage or New Term III Percentage, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders. Subject to the last sentence of Section 2.4, each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Five-Year Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Five-Year Loans then held by the Five-Year Lenders. Each borrowing of Five-Year Loans from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any fee hereunder and, subject to the last sentence of Section 2.4, any reduction of the Five-Year Loans of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the Five-Year Commitment Percentages of the relevant Lenders. Each payment by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on any Borrowing of Competitive Loans shall be made pro rata among the Lenders participating in such Borrowing according to the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Competitive Loans comprising such Borrowing. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the (i) Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Lenders, (ii) New Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the New Term Loans then held by the New Term Lenders and (iii) New Term III Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the New Term III Loans then held by the New Term III Lenders. The amount of each principal prepayment of the (x) Term Loans shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of the Term Loans on a pro rata basis, (y) New Term Loans shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of the New Term Loans on a pro rata basis and (z) New Term III Loans shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of the New Term III Loans on a pro rata basis. Amounts prepaid on account of Term Loans, New Term Loans and New Term III Loans may not be reborrowed.
(b) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Lenders, at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in Section 9.2, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure by the Borrower to make a payment (or

41
prepayment) prior to 12:00 Noon on the due date thereof shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default if such payment is made on such due date; provided, however, that any payment (or prepayment) made after such time on such due date shall be deemed made on the next Business Day for the purposes of interest and reimbursement calculations. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the relevant Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Borrower against any Lender who fails to make its share of such borrowing available.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment being made hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days of such required date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each relevant Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

42
Section 2.14. Requirements of Law.
(a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the initial date hereof:
(i) shall subject any Lender or the Issuing Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or Issuing Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.15 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender or Issuing Lender);
(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge, or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or
(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition affecting Eurodollar Loans;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. The Borrower shall not be liable in respect of any such increased costs to, or reduced amount of any sum received or receivable by, any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.14(a) with respect to any interest, fees or other amounts accrued by such Lender more than 15 days prior to the date notice thereof is given to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.14(a).
(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the initial date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital or liquidity requirements) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for

43
such reduction; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than 30 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided further that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such 30 day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.
(d) A certificate, setting forth a reasonably detailed explanation as to the reason for any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.14, submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
Section 2.15. Taxes.
(a) All payments made by or on behalf of any Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent),(i) such amounts shall be paid to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (ii) the amounts so payable by the applicable Loan Party to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that the applicable Loan Party shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) of this Section, (ii) that

44
are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time the Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office), except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from such Loan Party with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph or (iii) any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed under FATCA.
(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) Whenever any Taxes are payable by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.15, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof.
(d) (i) Each Lender that is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal withholding tax. Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) (i) two copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI or Form W-8IMY, as applicable (together with any applicable underlying IRS forms), (ii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit E and the applicable IRS Form W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on payments under this Agreement, or (iii) any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of U.S. federal income tax 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 requirements of law to permit the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement or designates a new lending office (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

45
(ii) 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 to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (d)(ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(e) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, and any other Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (including Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender or other Lender, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender or other Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(f) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) and (ii) any taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.6(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in either case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any 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. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (f).
(g) If the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender receives a refund in respect of any amounts paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15, which refund in the reasonable judgment of such Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender or such Lender is allocable to such payment, it shall pay the amount of such refund to the Borrower, net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or such Lender, provided however, that the Borrower, upon the request of such Lender, Issuing Lender or

46
the Administrative Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or such Lender in the event such Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender or the Lender is required to repay such refund. Nothing contained herein shall interfere with the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it deems fit nor oblige the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender to apply for any refund or to disclose any information relating to its affairs or any computations in respect thereof.
(h) The agreements in this Section 2.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
(i) For purposes of this Section 2.15, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
(j) Solely for purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Seventh Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) this Agreement (together with any Loans or other extensions of credit pursuant hereto) as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).
Section 2.16. Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense that such Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
Section 2.17. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.14 or 2.15(a) with respect to such Lender or Issuing Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another

47
lending office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.15(a).
Section 2.18. Replacement of Lenders.
(a) The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.14 or Section 2.15(a), (b) defaults in its obligation to make Loans hereunder or (c) is a “Non-Consenting Lender” (as defined below in this Section 2.18); provided that all such replaced Lenders are replaced with a replacement financial institution and/or one or more increased Five-Year Commitments from one or more other Lenders; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.17 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.14 or Section 2.15(a), (iii) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.16 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (vii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.14 or Section 2.15(a), as the case may be, (viii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender, and (ix) the replacement financial institution shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Non-Consenting Lenders refused to consent.
(b) In the event that (i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested the Lenders to consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or to agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of all Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 9.1 and (iii) the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender.”
Section 2.19. [Reserved].
Section 2.20. L/C Commitment.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the L/C Participants set forth in Section 2.20(d), agrees to issue letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the Five-Year Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing

48
Lender; provided that the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit to the extent that, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii) the aggregate amount of the Five-Year Available Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date that is five Business Days prior to the 2020 Extended Termination Date, provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above). Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to mean the maximum face amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all increases thereof contemplated by such Letter of Credit or the Application therefore, whether or not such maximum face amount is in effect at such time.
(i) The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit to the extent (a) that such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law, (b) any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date and which the Issuing Lender in good faith deems material to it or (c) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuing Lender applicable to letters of credit generally.
(ii) [Reserved].
(b) Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower may from time to time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein or otherwise on file with the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Unless the Issuing Lender has received written notice from any Lender or the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit that the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in accordance with its customary procedures (but in no event shall the Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto). The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof. The Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof). A Letter of Credit shall be issued only to the extent (and upon issuance of

49
each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the L/C Commitment and (ii) the aggregate amount of the Five-Year Extensions of Credit shall not exceed the aggregate Five-Year Commitments. Such Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).
(c) Fees and Other Charges. The Borrower will pay a fee on all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans under the Five-Year Facility, shared ratably among the Five-Year Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition to the foregoing fee, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.
(d) L/C Participations. (i) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Five-Year Commitment Percentage in the Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender upon demand an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Five-Year Commitment Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. Each L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant may have against the Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Article IV, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Participant or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
(ii) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.20(d)(i) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 2.20(d)(i) is not made available to the Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Issuing Lender shall be

50
entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the Five-Year Facility. A certificate of the Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
(iii) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 2.20(d)(i), the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.
(e) Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. If any draft is paid under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) the draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment, not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice of such draft, if such notice is received on such day prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, or (ii) if clause (i) above does not apply, the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice. Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices referred to herein in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on which the relevant draft is paid until payment in full at the rate set forth in (x) until the Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice, Section 2.9(a) and (y) thereafter, Section 2.9(e).
(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.20 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 2.20(e) shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee, payment by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower's Obligations hereunder. The Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable

51
decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees that any action lawfully taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower.
(g) Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining, using reasonable care, that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.
(h) Payments. Any payments and reimbursements due to the Issuing Lender hereunder shall be remitted to the Administrative Agent which shall, in turn, remit such funds to the Issuing Lender.
(i) Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 2.20, the provisions of this Section 2.20 shall apply.
Section 2.21. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of 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:
(a) if any L/C Obligations exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Five-Year Commitment Percentage of the L/C Obligations in accordance with the procedures satisfactory to the Administrative Agent for so long as such L/C Obligations are outstanding; and
(b) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by cash collateral provided by the Borrower.
ARTICLE III
Representations and Warranties
To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and issue and/or participate in Letters of Credit, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

52
Section 3.1. Organization; Powers. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation. Except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would result in a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in all states in which it owns substantial properties or in which it conducts a substantial business and its activities make such qualifications necessary.
Section 3.2. Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Effect. On or as of the Ninth Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower has furnished to each of the Lenders copies of either its Annual Report for 2015 or a report on Form 8-K, containing in either case, copies of its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 and the related statements of consolidated income and changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for 2015, all reported on by Ernst & Young LLP, independent public accountants. The financial statements contained in such Annual Report or report on Form 8-K (including the related notes) fairly present the Borrower’s consolidated financial condition as of their respective dates and the consolidated results of the operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the periods then ended, and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries had no Material liabilities as of December 31, 2015 not reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 or the related notes as of said date, and from that date to the Ninth Amendment Effective Date there has been no Material change in the business or financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole which has not been publicly disclosed.
Section 3.3. Properties. As of the Ninth Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries owned absolutely, free and clear of all Liens, all of the real or personal property reflected in the consolidated balance sheet dated as of December 31, 2015 referred to in Section 3.2 and all other property acquired by them, respectively after December 31, 2015 except such property as has been disposed of in the ordinary course of business, and except for (i) easements, restrictions, exceptions, reservations or defects which, in the aggregate, do not materially interfere with the continued use of such property or materially affect the value thereof to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, (ii) Liens, if any, for current taxes not delinquent, and (iii) Liens reflected on such consolidated balance sheet or not otherwise prohibited by Section 6.1. As of the Ninth Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries enjoy peaceful and undisturbed possession of their properties which are held under lease and all such leases are in good standing and valid and binding obligations of the lessors in full force and effect, except for exceptions, reservations or defects which in the aggregate do not materially interfere with the continued use of such property or materially affect the value thereof to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries.
Section 3.4. Litigation. There are no actions, suits, or proceedings pending or, to the Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting it or any Subsidiary in or before any court or foreign or domestic governmental instrumentality, and neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is in default in respect of any order of any such court or instrumentality which, in the Borrower’s opinion, are Material.
Section 3.5. No Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated, nor compliance with the

53
terms and provisions hereof will conflict with or result in a breach of any of the provisions of the Borrower’s restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, or by-laws, as amended, or any law or regulation, or any order of any court or governmental instrumentality, or any agreement or instrument by which the Borrower is bound, or constitute a default thereunder, or result in the imposition of any Lien not permitted under this Agreement upon any of the Borrower’s property.
Section 3.6. Taxes. To the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all tax returns which are required to be filed by any jurisdiction, and have paid all taxes which have become due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessments against it or its Subsidiaries, except to the extent only that such taxes are not material or are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.
Section 3.7. ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, is reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 3.8. Authorization; Enforceability. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of all Borrowings permitted by the provisions hereof have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Borrower; this Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes the Borrower’s valid and legally binding agreement enforceable in accordance with its terms; and the Borrowings when made, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other laws, judicial decisions or principles of equity relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights or contractual obligations generally.
Section 3.9. Environmental Matters. In the ordinary course of its business, the Borrower becomes aware from time to time of the effect of Environmental Laws on its business, operations and properties and the business, operations and properties of its Subsidiaries, and it identifies and evaluates associated liabilities and costs (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up or closure of properties then owned or operated by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, any capital or operating expenditures required to achieve or maintain compliance with environmental protection standards imposed by law or as a condition of any license, permit or contract, any related constraints on operating activities, including any periodic or permanent shutdown of any facility or reduction in the level of or change in the nature of operations conducted at such properties, and any actual or potential liabilities to third parties, including employees, and any related costs and expenses). On the basis of these evaluations, the Borrower has reasonably concluded that Environmental Laws are unlikely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

54
Section 3.10. No Change. Since December 31, 2015, there has been no development or event that has had or would have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 3.11. Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used for “buying” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any purpose that violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U‑1, as applicable, referred to in Regulation U.
Section 3.12. No Default. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that would have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 3.13. Investment Company Act; Federal Regulations. The Borrower is not an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Section 3.14. Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions. The Borrower has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions, and the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective officers and to the knowledge of the Borrower its directors, employees and agents, are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions in all material respects. None of (a) the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any of their respective directors or officers, or (b) to the knowledge of the Borrower, any employee or agent of the Borrower or any Subsidiary that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from the Facilities established hereby or the Letters of Credit issued hereunder, is a Sanctioned Person. No Borrowing or Letter of Credit, use of proceeds thereof or other transaction contemplated by this Agreement will violate any Anti-Corruption Law or applicable Sanctions.

Section 6.5. [Reserved].
Section 6.6. Transfer of Assets.

(b) The Borrower shall not own greater than 30% (the “CTA Percentage”) of the Consolidated Tangible Assets of the Borrower and its Domestic Subsidiaries; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of (i) any Material Disposition by the Borrower or a Domestic

(h) The Borrower shall default in the performance of any covenant, condition or provision contained in Section 5.9 or Section 6.3 of this Agreement and, in the case of Section 6.3, such default shall have continued for a period of five Business Days; provided, however, that after the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, such five Business Day period shall not commence until the financial statements with respect to such Test Period have been or are required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 5.1(a) and (b).
(i) A (i) Change in Control of the Borrower shall occur or (ii) Specified Change in Control shall occur.
Section 7.2. Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing:
(a) If an Event of Default specified in Section 7.1(e) or (f) shall occur and be continuing, automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement (including all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) shall immediately become due and payable.
(b) If an Event of Default other than those specified in Section 7.1(e) or (f) shall occur and be continuing, either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Commitments shall immediately terminate; and (ii) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the

63
Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement (including all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable. With respect to all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall as soon as practicable thereafter, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other obligations of the Borrower hereunder. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrower (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto). For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the foregoing, no amounts received from any Loan Party shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Loan Party.
(c) Except as expressly provided above in this Article, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.
(d) Any Lender giving any notice to the Borrower under this Article VII shall simultaneously give like notice to the Administrative Agent.
ARTICLE VIII
The Administrative Agent
Section 8.1. Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.
Section 8.2. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to

64
such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
Section 8.3. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.
Section 8.4. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower and the Guarantors), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any promissory note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. 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 (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. 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 of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.
Section 8.5. 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 has received 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”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative

65
Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.
Section 8.6. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys‑in‑fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent 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 analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.
Section 8.7. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Commitment Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Commitment Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the

66
payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
Section 8.8. Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.
Section 8.9. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 15 Business Days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, then (a) so long as an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a), 7.1(e) or 7.1(f) with respect to the Borrower shall not have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be subject to approval by the Required Lenders (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (b) if an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a), 7.1(e) or 7.1(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 15 Business Days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.
Section 8.10. Syndication Agents and Issuing Lender. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, (i) the Syndication Agents shall not have any duties or responsibilities hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or under any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Syndication Agents and (ii) the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to the benefits of Article VIII in its capacity as an Issuing Lender.

67
Section 8.11. Arrangers. The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Administrative Agent, including without limitation its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by (a) each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., solely in its capacity as Arranger in connection with the Eighth Amendment, on an equivalent basis as the Administrative Agent and (b) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as Arranger in connection with the Ninth Amendment and the Tenth Amendment, on an equivalent basis as the Administrative Agent.
ARTICLE IX
Miscellaneous
Section 9.1. Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.1. The Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Documents may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, extend the scheduled date of any amortization payment in respect of any Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except (x) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates, which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Majority Facility Lenders of each adversely affected Facility and (y) that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (ii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 9.1 or extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender, in each case without the written consent of such Lender; (iii) reduce any percentage specified in the definitions of Required Lenders or Majority Facility Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders; (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of Article VIII without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and any other Agent affected thereby; (v) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.13(a) or (b) without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; or (vi) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.20 without the written consent of the Issuing Lender. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding on the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the

68
Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.
For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof (collectively, the “Additional Extensions of Credit”) to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement with the Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.1, the defined term “2020 Extended Termination Date” may be amended to a date beyond June 29, 2020, with the consent of (i) each Five-Year Lender willing to extend its Five-Year Commitments to such later date, (ii) the Administrative Agent and (iii) the Issuing Lender.

(a) The Borrower agrees (i) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and filing and recording fees and expenses, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be submitted to the Borrower prior to the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date) and from time to time thereafter on a quarterly basis or such other periodic basis as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, (ii) to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights under

70
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to each Lender and of counsel to the Administrative Agent, and (iii) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, each Issuing Lender, and the Administrative Agent and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other agreement, instrument or documents contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of transactions contemplated hereby, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit and the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section 9.5(a) shall be payable not later than 10 days after written demand therefor.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.5(a), (i) the Borrower shall have no such obligation for costs and expenses if the Borrower prevails or successfully defeats any enforcement or collection proceedings; and (ii) if, by final adjudication in any proceeding not involving the Borrower’s bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency, the Lenders receive less relief than claimed, the Borrower’s obligation for costs and expenses shall be limited proportionately to the relief granted to the Lenders.
(c) The Borrower agrees to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, that may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement and any such other documents.
(d) If the Borrower is required to commence proceedings against any Lender to enforce its Commitment, the Lender will pay the Borrower’s reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) if the Borrower succeeds, or a share of such reasonable costs and expenses proportionate to the Borrower’s recovery if the Borrower is only partially successful.
(e) The agreements in this Section 9.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
Section 9.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.
(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, all future holders of the Loans and Letters of Credit and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower

71
may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender.
(b) Any Lender other than any Conduit Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or any fees payable hereunder, or postpone the date of the final maturity of the Loans, in each case to the extent subject to such participation. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Loans are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 9.7(a) as fully as if it were a Lender hereunder. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.15(d) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.15(d) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if it was a Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 2.15, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error,

72
and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(c) Any Lender other than any Conduit Lender (an “Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender or, with the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender; provided, however, that no consent of the Issuing Lender shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan, New Term Loan or New Term III Loan (which, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; it being understood that (i) the Administrative Agent and each Lender effecting an assignment to any Person other than a Lender should notify the Borrower as promptly as possible of any request for assignment and the Borrower, in turn, should promptly consider such request for assignment; and (ii) the Borrower's consent shall not be considered to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned if the Borrower withholds, delays or conditions its consent because, among other factors, it is concerned about a potential Assignee's capital adequacy, liquidity or ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement), to any Lender Affiliate, an additional bank, financial institution or other entity (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, executed by such Assignee, such Assignor and any other Person whose consent is required pursuant to this paragraph, and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender or any Lender Affiliate) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $10,000,000, in each case except in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests under this Agreement. For purposes of the proviso contained in the preceding sentence, the amount described therein shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Lender Affiliates, if any. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment and/or Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto). Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 9.6, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment that occurs when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign at any time to its designating Lender hereunder without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder and pursuant to its designation agreement and without regard to the limitations set forth in the first sentence of this Section 9.6(c).
(d) The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrower, maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and the principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of

73
manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans and any promissory notes evidencing the Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a promissory note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan evidenced by a promissory note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the promissory note evidencing such Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance, and thereupon one or more new promissory notes shall be issued to the designated Assignee.
(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assignor, an Assignee and any other Person whose consent is required by Section 9.6(c), together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (except that no such registration and processing fee shall be payable in the case of an Assignee which is a Lender Affiliate of the relevant Assignor), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register on the effective date determined pursuant thereto.
(f) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 9.6 concerning assignments relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including any pledge or assignment by a Lender to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(g) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue a promissory note to any Lender requiring such a note to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (f) above.
