The Loan Parties desire to secure all of their Obligations under the Loan Documents by granting to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in and Lien upon substantially all of their property constituting Collateral. In consideration of the premises and the covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: ARTICLE I DEFINITIONS; CERTAIN TERMS Section 1.01 Definitions.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless expressly stated otherwise, in no event shall any Agent, any Lender or any of their respective affiliates be considered an “Affiliate” of any Loan Party. “Agent” and “Agents” have the respective meanings specified therefor in the preamble hereto. “Agreement” means this Credit Agreement, including all amendments, restatements, amendments and restatements, modifications and supplements and any exhibits or schedules to any of the foregoing, and shall refer to the Agreement as the same may be in effect at the time such reference becomes operative.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this definition, the determination of the applicable rate for any period shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(b). If the Borrower fails to provide a Compliance Certificate when due as required by Section 7.01(a)(iii) for the most recently completed fiscal quarter of the Borrower preceding the applicable calculation date, the Applicable Margin from the date on which such Compliance Certificate was required to have been delivered shall be based on the highest pricing level until such time as such Compliance Certificate is delivered, at which time the pricing level shall be determined by reference to the Total Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the most recently completed fiscal quarter of the Borrower preceding such calculation date.

4 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any financial statement or Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(i), (ii) or (iii) is shown to be inaccurate, and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin applied for such Applicable Period, then (A) the Borrower shall promptly (and in any case within five (5) Business Days) deliver to the Administrative Agent a corrected Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period, (B) the Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period shall be determined as if the Total Net Leverage Ratio in the corrected Compliance Certificate were applicable for such Applicable Period, and (C) the Borrower shall promptly (and in any case within five (5) Business Days) and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent the accrued additional interest owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Article IV. “Arrangers” means, collectively, Citizens Bank, N.A., as left lead arranger, and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, PNC Capital Markets LLC, RBC Capital Markets, TD Bank, N.A, Truist Securities, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as co-lead arrangers. “Assignment and Acceptance” means an assignment and acceptance entered into by an assigning Lender and an assignee, and accepted by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, in each case, if applicable, in accordance with Section 12.07 hereof and substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto or such other form acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. “Authorized Officer” means, with respect to any Person, the chief executive officer, chief operating officer, president, chief financial officer, secretary, director (in the case of a non-U.S. Person, if applicable, or, for a U.S. Person, when used as an officer title), treasurer or other officer performing similar functions, president, vice president, assistant vice president, senior managing director, managing director or controller of such Person. “Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then- current Benchmark, as applicable, (x) if such Benchmark is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining the length of an Interest Period pursuant to this Credit Agreement or (y) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark (or component thereof), as applicable, that is or may be used for determining any frequency of making payments of interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to clause (iv) of Section 2.07(b). “Bail-In Action” means the exercise of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority in respect of any liability of an Affected Financial Institution. “Bail-In Legislation” means, (a) with respect to any EEA Member Country implementing Article 55 of Directive 2014/59/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union, the implementing law, regulation rule or requirement for such EEA Member Country from time to time which is described in the EU Bail-In Legislation Schedule and (b) with respect to the United Kingdom, Part I of the United Kingdom Banking Act 2009 and any other law, regulation or rule applicable in the United Kingdom relating to the resolution of unsound or failing banks, investment firms or other financial institutions or their affiliates (other than through liquidation, administration or other insolvency proceedings). “Bank Product Agreements” means those certain cash management service agreements entered into from time to time among any Loan Party, on the one hand, and a Bank Product Provider, on

Any reference to “Benchmark” shall include, as applicable, the published component used in the calculation thereof. “Benchmark Replacement” means, for any Available Tenor, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date: (a) Daily Simple SOFR; or (b) the sum of: (i) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower giving due consideration to (A) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (B) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate and an adjustment as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time and (ii) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; provided, that any such Benchmark Replacement shall be administratively feasible as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above would be less than the Floor, such Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) All terms used in this Agreement which are defined in Article 8 or Article 9 of the NY UCC as in effect from time to time in the State of New York and which are not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings herein as set forth therein, provided that terms used herein which are defined in the NY UCC as in effect in the State of New York on the Closing Date shall continue to have the same meaning notwithstanding any replacement or amendment of such statute except as any Agent and the Borrower may otherwise agree. (c) Subject to Section 1.08, with respect to any period during which any Specified Transaction occurs, for purposes of determining the permissibility of any action, change, transaction, or event that by the terms of the Loan Documents requires a calculation of any financial ratio or test or a component definition thereof (including Consolidated Total Assets, Consolidated Total Debt, Consolidated Net Interest Expense, Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio and/or Total Net Leverage Ratio), calculations with respect to such financial ratio, test or definition for such period shall be made on a pro forma basis after giving pro forma effect to such transaction and any related pro forma calculations shall be made giving effect to any pro forma adjustments to be made in good faith by the Loan Parties. Further, if since the beginning of any such period and on or prior to the date of any required calculation of any financial ratio or test or component definition thereof (x) any Specified Transaction has occurred or (y) any Person that subsequently became a Loan Party or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Borrower or any of its other Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such period has consummated any Specified Transaction, then, in each case, any applicable financial ratio or test shall be calculated on a pro forma basis for such period as if such Specified Transaction had occurred at the beginning of the applicable period. Section 1.05 Time References. Unless otherwise indicated herein, all references to time of day refer to Eastern Standard Time or Eastern daylight saving time, as in effect in New York City on

64 such day. For purposes of the computation of a period of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and including” and the words “to” and “until” each means “to but excluding”; provided, however, that with respect to a computation of fees or interest payable to any Secured Party, such period shall in any event consist of at least one full day. Section 1.06 Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted under this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component and rounding the result up or down to the nearest one one-hundredth. Section 1.07 Timing of Payment and Performance. When the payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is stated to be due or performance required on a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment (other than as described in the definition of “Interest Period”) or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment that accrues interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. Section 1.08 Limited Condition Transactions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, solely in the case of the incurrence of any Indebtedness (including any Incremental Facility, but other than Indebtedness under the Revolving Commitment, which shall remain subject to the terms and conditions thereof with respect to the impact, if any, of any Limited Condition Transaction) or Liens or the making of any Investments (other than a Permitted Acquisition which shall remain subject to the terms and conditions thereof with respect to the impact, if any, of any Limited Condition Transaction), Restricted Payments, dispositions, consolidations, mergers or other fundamental changes, in each case in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction: (a) for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default or Event of Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, at the Borrower’s election, such condition shall be deemed satisfied, so long as (x) no Event of Default exists on the date of execution of the definitive agreement(s) for such Limited Condition Transaction and (y) no Specified Event of Default exists at the time of, and immediately after giving effect to, the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, and (b) for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that any of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party set forth in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document be true and correct, such condition shall be deemed satisfied, so long as: (i) the representations and warranties in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifier therein) as of the date of execution (or with respect to any such representations or warranties that specifically relate to any earlier date, as of such date) of the definitive agreement(s) for such Limited Condition Transaction, (ii) customary specified acquisition agreement representations and warranties with respect to the Person to be acquired are true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifier therein), at the time of, and immediately after giving effect to, the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction (or with respect to any such representations or warranties that specifically relate to any earlier date, as of such date), and

65 (iii) the Specified Representations (in each case, modified solely to the extent necessary to reflect the applicable terms of such Limited Condition Transaction as set forth in the definitive agreement(s) governing such transaction) are true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifier therein), at the time of, and immediately after giving effect to, the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction (or with respect to any such representations or warranties that specifically relate to any earlier date, as of such date), and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall be required to bring down any other representation or warranty as a condition to the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction (or the incurrence of any Indebtedness and any other ancillary transaction consummated in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction); provided that if the Borrower has made such an election, then in connection with the calculation of any ratio or basket with respect to the incurrence of any other Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness under the Revolving Commitment or any Incremental Facility, which shall remain subject to the terms and conditions thereof with respect to the impact, if any, of any Limited Condition Transaction) or Liens, or the making of any other Investments, Restricted Payments, dispositions, consolidations, mergers or other fundamental changes pursuant to Section 7.02(c) on or following such date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date of termination or expiration of the definitive agreement(s) for such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis (and after giving effect to any pro forma adjustments) assuming such Limited Condition Transaction has been consummated (and, in the case of Restricted Payments, assuming such Limited Condition Transaction has not been consummated). Section 1.09 Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time. Section 1.10 Rates. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) administration, construction, calculation, publication, continuation, discontinuation, movement, or regulation of, or any other matter related to, the ABR, the Benchmark, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, including whether any Benchmark is similar to, or will produce the same value or economic equivalence of, any other rate or whether financial instruments referencing or underlying the Benchmark will have the same volume or liquidity as those referencing or underlying any other rate, (b) the impact of any regulatory statements about, or actions taken with respect to any Benchmark (or component thereof), (c) changes made by any administrator to the methodology used to calculate any Benchmark (or component thereof) or (d) the effect, implementation or composition of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the ABR, the Benchmark, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, such transactions. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the ABR, the Benchmark, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement), in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind,

66 including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service. Section 1.11 Treatment of Unrestricted Subsidiaries. It is understood and agreed that Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the provisions set forth in Article VI (other than Section 6.01(y)), VII (other than Section 7.01(c)(i)), VIII or IX and the results of operations and Indebtedness of Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be taken into account for purposes of determining compliance with any financial ratio, including but not limited to, First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Total Net Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio Coverage Ratio. Section 1.12 Certain Calculations and Tests. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) With respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, Section 8.01, the Financial Covenants, any First Lien Net Leverage Ratio test and/or any Total Net Leverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, Section 8.01, the Financial Covenants, any First Lien Net Leverage Ratio test and/or any Total Net Leverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence-Based Amounts; (b) If the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary relies in full or in part on a Fixed Amounts basket or exception in connection with any proposed transaction, all or any portion of which transaction subsequently is eligible to be reclassified as having been incurred pursuant to an Incurrence-Based Amounts basket or exception, then such amounts originally permitted under the Fixed Amounts basket or exception shall automatically be reclassified as having been incurred pursuant to a Incurrence-Based Amounts basket or exception to the maximum extent then permitted under such ratio-based basket or exception without the Borrower needing to make any election, give any notice or take any action to effect such reclassification; and (c) If the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries incurs Indebtedness under an Incurrence-Based Amounts basket, such an Incurrence-Based Amounts basket (together with any other ratio-based basket utilized in connection therewith, including in respect of other Indebtedness, Liens, asset sales or other dispositions, Investments or Restricted Payments) will be calculated excluding the cash proceeds of such Indebtedness for netting purposes (i.e., such cash proceeds shall not reduce Consolidated Total Debt pursuant to the definition of such term). ARTICLE II THE LOANS Section 2.01 Commitments and Incremental Facilities. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth:

67 (i) each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Loans in Dollars to the Borrower at any time and from time to time during the term of this Agreement or until the earlier reduction of its Revolving Commitment to zero in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans made by such Lender at any time outstanding not exceeding the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitment. The Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow, the applicable Revolving Loans on or after the Closing Date and prior to the Final Maturity Date, subject to the terms, provisions and limitations set forth herein; provided (A) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans outstanding at any time to the Borrower shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments and (B) the Revolving Commitment of each Lender shall automatically and permanently be reduced to zero on the Final Maturity Date; (ii) [Reserved]; and (iii) each Initial Term Loan Lender severally agrees to make the Initial Term Loan to the Borrower on the Closing Date, in an amount set forth opposite such Initial Term Loan Lender’s name in Schedule 1.01(A). Any principal amount of the Initial Term Loans which is repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. (b) Swingline Loans. (i) On the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, as part of the Revolving Commitment, the Swingline Lender agrees to make advances to the Borrower from time to time during the period from the Closing Date through the Final Maturity Date (each such advance, a “Swingline Loan”) requested by the Borrower; provided that the Swingline Loan Outstandings shall at no time exceed the Swingline Loan Limit. If at any time the Swingline Loan Outstandings exceed the Swingline Loan Limit, then, on the next succeeding Business Day, the Borrower shall repay Swingline Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. Each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan, and shall be advanced by Swingline Lender in the same manner as Revolving Loans are advanced hereunder; provided that the Borrower may deliver the Notice of Borrowing with respect to any Swingline Loan to the Administrative Agent and Swingline Lender not later than 2:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date (which shall be a Business Day). Swingline Lender shall give Administrative Agent prompt notice of each Swingline Loan advanced by Swingline Lender. In the event that on any Business Day Swingline Lender desires that all or any portion of the outstanding Swingline Loans should be reduced, in whole or in part, Swingline Lender shall notify Administrative Agent to that effect and indicate the portion of the Swingline Loan to be so reduced (it being agreed that the Swingline Lender shall issue a notice requiring outstanding Swingline Loans to be reduced to $0 on a not less than weekly basis). The Administrative Agent agrees to transmit to Revolving Lenders the information contained in each notice received by Administrative Agent from Swingline Lender regarding the reduction of outstanding Swingline Loans and shall concurrently notify such Lenders of each such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the obligation to make a Revolving Loan to repay outstanding Swingline Loans (or the applicable portion thereof); (ii) Each of the Revolving Lenders hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Swingline Lender, not later than noon on the Business Day immediately following the Business Day of such Lender’s receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent (provided that if any Revolving Lender shall receive such notice at or prior to 10:00 a.m. on a Business Day, such funding shall be made by such Lender on such Business Day), such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of a Revolving Loan (which Revolving Loan shall be an ABR Loan and shall be deemed to be requested by Borrower) in the principal amount of such portion of the Swingline Loan which is required to be paid to Swingline Lender under this Section 2.01(b) (regardless of whether the conditions precedent thereto set forth in Section 5.02 are then satisfied, including without limitation, the existence of any Default or Event of Default either before or after giving effect to the making of such Swingline Loan, but subject

68 to the other provisions of this Section 2.01(b)). The proceeds of any such Revolving Loans shall be immediately paid over to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Swingline Lender for application against then outstanding Swingline Loans. For purposes of this clause (ii), Swingline Lender shall be conclusively entitled to assume that, at the time of the advance of any Swingline Loan, each Revolving Lender will fund its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans provided for in this clause (ii); (iii) In the event that, at any time any Swingline Loans are outstanding, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then, each of the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have irrevocably and immediately purchased and received from Swingline Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Swingline Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Revolving Commitment multiplied by the total amount of the Swingline Loan Outstandings. Any purchase obligation arising pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstances whatsoever. In the event that on any Business Day Swingline Lender desires to effect settlement of any such purchase, Swingline Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent to that effect and indicate the payment amounts required by each Lender to effect such settlement. The Administrative Agent agrees to transmit to Revolving Lenders the information contained in each notice received by the Administrative Agent from Swingline Lender and shall concurrently notify such Lenders of each such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the required payment settlement amount. Each such Lender shall effect such settlement upon receipt of any such notice by paying to Administrative Agent not later than noon on the Business Day immediately following the Business Day of receipt of such notice (provided that, if any such Lender shall receive such notice at or prior to 10:00 a.m. on a Business Day, such funding shall be made by such Lender on such Business Day), an amount equal to such Lender’s participation in the Swingline Loan. (iv) In the event any Revolving Lender fails to make available to Swingline Lender when due the amount of such Lender’s participation in the Swingline Loans, Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest at ABR plus the Applicable Margin in respect of ABR Revolving Loans. Any Lender’s failure to make any payment requested under this Section 2.01(b) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to Swingline Lender such other Lender’s required payment hereunder. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 2.01(b) shall be deemed to be binding upon the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and Lenders notwithstanding the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, or any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding pertaining to Borrower or any other Loan Party. (c) Incremental Facilities. (i) Requests. The Borrower may, from time to time by written notice to the Administrative Agent (each, an “Incremental Facility Request”), request (A) one or more new tranches of Term Loans (the “Incremental Term Loan Commitment” and the term loans thereunder, each an “Incremental Term Loans”) and (B) one or more increases in the Revolving Commitments (the “Incremental Revolving Commitments” and the revolving loans thereunder, each an “Incremental Revolving Loan”); the Incremental Term Loan and the Incremental Revolving Loans are sometimes referred to herein individually as an “Incremental Loan” and, collectively, as the “Incremental Loans”; the Incremental Term Loan Commitment and the Incremental Revolving Commitment is sometimes referred to herein individually as an “Incremental Facility” and collectively as the “Incremental Facilities”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Incremental Cap; provided that no commitment of any Lender shall be increased without the prior written consent of such Lender. Such Incremental Facility Request shall set forth (A) the amount of the Incremental Loans being requested (which shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof), (B) the date (an “Incremental Closing Date”) on which such Incremental Facility is requested to become effective (which, unless otherwise agreed

69 by the Administrative Agent, shall not be less than ten (10) Business Days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date of such notice and which may be extended by the Borrower with the consent of Administrative Agent), and (C) whether the related Incremental Loan is to be a SOFR Loan or an ABR Loan (and, if a SOFR Loan, the Interest Period therefor). (ii) Allocations. Upon delivery of the Incremental Facility Request, the Borrower may offer such Incremental Facility to the existing Revolving Lenders (with respect to Incremental Revolving Commitments) and existing Term Lenders (with respect to Incremental Term Loan Commitments) or to new lenders designated by the Borrower and consented to by the Administrative Agent, but only to the extent the consent of the Administrative Agent would be required under Section 12.07(b) and, in any event, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided that, (A) none of the Lenders will be required to provide all or any portion of such Incremental Facility, (B) any decision whether or not to so provide all or any portion of such Incremental Facility by any Lender shall be made at the sole discretion of such Lender and (C) the allocation of any such Incremental Facility among the accepting Lenders shall be determined by the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Borrower). (iii) Conditions. No Incremental Facility shall become effective under this Section 2.01(c) unless (A) immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Facility, the loans to be made thereunder and the application of the proceeds therefrom on a pro forma basis, (I) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing (provided that if the proceeds of the applicable Incremental Facility are to be used to finance a Limited Conditions Transaction, then the condition precedent set forth in this clause (I) may be limited to Specified Events of Default), (II) the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in the Loan Documents would be true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of representations and warranties qualified as to materiality, in all respects) on and as of the date of, and immediately after giving effect to, the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment, except in the case of any such representation and warranty that expressly relates to a prior date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects, as applicable) as of such earlier date (provided that if the proceeds of the applicable Incremental Facility are to be used to finance a Limited Conditions Transaction, then the condition precedent set forth in this clause (II) may be limited to (x) Specified Representations and (y) customary specified acquisition agreement representations and warranties with respect to the Person to be acquired) and (III) the Borrower will be in compliance with the Financial Covenants set forth in Section 8.01, (x) based on the financial statements most recently delivered pursuant to Section 7.01(a), (y) without netting the cash proceeds thereof from Consolidated Total Debt and (z) assuming all amounts thereunder are fully drawn, (B) all fees and expenses owing in respect of such Incremental Facility to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have been paid and (C) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower certifying as to the foregoing and attaching reasonably detailed supporting calculations related thereto, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided that, with respect to any Incremental Facility incurred to finance a Limited Condition Transaction, at the Borrower’s election, the conditions in the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C) shall be subject to Section 1.08. (iv) Terms. Except with respect to Permitted Short Term Debt, the final maturity date of any Incremental Term Loan shall be no earlier than the maturity date of the Initial Term Loan and the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any such Incremental Term Loan shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Initial Term Loan. If the initial All-In Yield applicable to any Incremental Term Loan that is incurred on or prior to the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date that is secured by a lien on the Collateral that ranks pari passu with the liens securing the Term Loan exceeds the corresponding All-In Yield applicable to the Term Loan then outstanding by more than 50 basis points per annum (each, an “Existing Facility”), then the Applicable Margin with respect to each such Existing Facility shall automatically be increased to a level such that the All-In Yield applicable to such

70 outstanding Term Loan is 50 basis point per annum below the All-In Yield applicable to such Incremental Term Loan, effective upon the making of such Incremental Term Loan (the “MFN Provision”). Each Incremental Facility to the extent secured, shall be secured only by a Lien on the Collateral (or a portion thereof) ranking equal in priority with the Lien securing the Obligations, or shall constitute Subordinated Debt, and shall only be guaranteed by the Guarantors (or a subset thereof); provided that any Incremental Facility may be secured by assets other than the Collateral or guaranteed by a person other than the Guarantors, so long as such assets are contemporaneously included as Collateral and such person contemporaneously becomes a Guarantor under the Existing Facility. In the case of an Incremental Revolving Commitment, such Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be on the same terms and pursuant to the same documentation applicable to the Revolving Commitments (including interest rate and unused fees but excluding customary arrangement, commitment, structuring and underwriting fees, and amendment fees not generally shared with other Lenders with respect to such Incremental Revolving Loans). The other terms and documentation in respect thereof, to the extent not consistent with the Loan Documents, shall not be materially more favorable to the Lenders hereof (taken as a whole) than the terms under the Loans are to the Lenders under the Loans (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) unless (a) offered to the Lenders for inclusion in the Loan Documents, (b) otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or (c) they only apply after the maturity date for the applicable existing Loans. Except with respect to amortization, pricing, interest rate margins, discounts, premiums, rate floors and final maturity as set forth in this clause (iv), any Incremental Term Loan shall be on terms consistent with the Initial Term Loan. (v) Required Amendments. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence of such Incremental Facility and the Loans evidenced thereby, and any joinder agreement signed by a new lender or other incremental amendment (any such joinder agreement and/or incremental amendment, an “Incremental Amendment”) may without the consent of the other Lenders effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.01(c) (including any amendments that are not adverse to the interests of any Lender that are made to effectuate changes necessary to enable any Incremental Term Loans that are intended to be of the same Class as the initial Term Loans made on the Closing Date to be of the same Class as such initial Term Loans, which shall include any amendments to Section 2.03(b) that do not reduce the ratable amortization received by each Lender thereunder (including to evidence any amortization “holiday” for such Incremental Term Loans (but not for any Existing Facility))), and, for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.01(c) shall supersede any provisions in Section 12.02. From and after each Incremental Closing Date, the Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.01(c) shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the guarantees and security interests created by the applicable Loan Documents. Subject to the last paragraph of Section 5.01(b), the Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Collateral Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Liens and security interests granted by the applicable Loan Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such new Loans and Commitments. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrower, take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, (A) upon the effectiveness of each Incremental Revolving Commitment, (I) Revolving Loans made under such Incremental Revolving Commitment are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis and (II) the Lender providing each Incremental Revolving Commitment shares ratably in the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans, Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Loans (B) upon the effectiveness of Incremental Term Loans which are not separate Classes when originally made, (I) such Incremental Term Loans are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans on a pro rata basis and (II) any amortization payments required to be made under Section 2.03(b) after the making of such Incremental Term Loans to be ratably increased by the

71 aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Term Loans for all Lenders on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary to avoid any reduction in the amortization payments to which the existing Term Lenders were entitled before such recalculation. (d) Refinancing Amendments. (i) After the Closing Date, Borrower may obtain by written notice to Administrative Agent, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Refinancing Amendment Debt in respect of all or any portion of the Term Loans or Revolving Loans then outstanding under this Agreement in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment. Any Other Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments hereunder, as specified in the applicable Refinancing Amendment. Such notice shall set forth (x) the amount of the applicable Refinancing Amendment Debt, (y) the date on which the applicable Refinancing Amendment Debt is to become effective and (z) whether such Refinancing Amendment Debt will be made pursuant to Other Revolving Loan Commitments and/or Other Term Loan Commitments. (ii) Borrowers may seek Refinancing Amendment Debt from existing Lenders or any Additional Lender. The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by the Lenders providing the Refinancing Amendment) on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 and, to the extent reasonably requested by Administrative Agent, receipt by Administrative Agent of customary legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 5.01 (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent). (iii) Each incurrence of Refinancing Amendment Debt under this Section 2.01(d) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $5,000,000. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Refinancing Amendment Debt incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Loans and/or Other Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.01(d). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.01(d) shall supersede any provisions in Section 12.02 (other than Section 12.02(c)). (iv) It is understood that (x) any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of Refinancing Amendment Debt may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Refinancing Amendment Debt (it being understood that there is no obligation to approach any existing Lenders to provide any Other Commitment), (y) Administrative Agent’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, delayed or denied) and, with respect to any Other Revolving Loan Commitment, the consent of the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender shall be required with respect to any Person’s providing such Refinancing Amendment Debt if such consent would be required under Section 12.07 for an assignment of Loans or Commitments to such Person. (v) There shall not be more than one (1) Class of Revolving Commitments outstanding under this Agreement at any time. Upon the effectiveness of any Other Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.01(d), each Revolving Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment immediately prior to such effectiveness will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Additional Lender with such an Other Revolving Loan Commitment, and each such

72 Additional Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such existing Revolving Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations and any other adjustments that Administrative Agent may deem necessary, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans held by each Revolving Lender (including each such Additional Lender) will equal its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitment. Section 2.02 Making the Loans. (a) The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing, in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto (a “Notice of Borrowing”)), not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) (i) in the case of any ABR Loan, on the date of the proposed Borrowing and (ii) in the case of any SOFR Loan (x) following the Closing Date, three (3) Government Securities Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Loan (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent is willing to accommodate from time to time, but in no event later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the borrowing date of the proposed Loan) or (y) with respect to the Loans to be made on the Closing Date, one Business Day prior to the Closing Date. Such Notice of Borrowing shall specify (i) the principal amount of the proposed Loan, (ii) [reserved], (iii) whether the Loan is requested to be an ABR Loan or a SOFR Loan and, in the case of a SOFR Loan, the initial Interest Period with respect thereto (which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of “Interest Period”), and (iv) the proposed borrowing date, which must be a Business Day (which Borrowing may be conditioned upon the consummation of a subject transaction to the extent such condition is expressly set forth in the Notice of Borrowing or may be delayed to a later date) and, with respect to the Initial Term Loan, must be the Closing Date. All Loans to be made on the Closing Date shall be SOFR Loans under this Section and Borrower shall provide an indemnity letter, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and Borrower, indemnifying the Lenders in respect of such Loans for any Funding Losses. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested SOFR Loan, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may act without liability upon the basis of written, telecopied or telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from the Borrower (or from any Authorized Officer thereof designated in writing purportedly from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent). Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of any such telephonic Notice of Borrowing. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any Authorized Officer’s authority to request a Loan on behalf of the Borrower until the Administrative Agent receives written notice to the contrary. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of the signature appearing on any written Notice of Borrowing. (b) Each Notice of Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall be irrevocable and the Borrower shall be bound to make a borrowing in accordance therewith; provided that such borrowing may be conditioned upon the consummation of a subject transaction to the extent such condition is expressly set forth in the Notice of Borrowing or may be delayed to a later date. At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Borrowing of Revolving Loans that are SOFR Loans, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $50,000 and not less than $1,000,000. At the time that each ABR Revolving Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $50,000 and not less than $1,000,000; provided that a Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the relevant Class, or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 3.05.

73 (c) (i) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.02(c), all Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their Pro Rata Shares of the aggregate Initial Term Loan Commitment or the aggregate Revolving Commitment, as applicable, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligations to make a Loan requested hereunder, nor shall the Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of the default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans required to be made by it by the terms of this Agreement regardless of the failure by any other Lender. Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purposes by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly remitting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower specified in the Notice of Borrowing. (ii) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of the making of any Loan that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with clause (c)(i) of this Section 2.02 and may, in reliance on such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to such Loans hereunder. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s portion of such Loan. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. Section 2.03 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Final Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which they are declared due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. (b) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph. The Term Loans shall be repayable in consecutive quarterly installments, each of which shall be in an amount equal to (i) the original principal amount of the Initial Term Loans on the Closing Date multiplied by (ii) the percentage set forth in the grid below adjacent to such date under the heading “Percentage”, each such installment to be due and payable, in arrears, on the last day of each fiscal quarter and ending on the Final Maturity Date. The remaining outstanding unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable

74 on the earliest of (i) the Final Maturity Date and (ii) the date on which such Term Loan is declared due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Scheduled installments for an Incremental Term Loan shall be as specified in the applicable Incremental Amendment.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. (e) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.03(c) or Section 2.03(d) shall be prima facie evidence (absent manifest error) of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that (i) the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) in the event of any conflict between the entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.03(c) and the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.03(d), the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.03(d) shall govern and control. (f) Any Lender may request that Term Loans made by it be evidenced by a Term Note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a Term Note payable to such Lender

75 (and its registered assigns). Thereafter, the Term Loans evidenced by such Term Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 12.07) be represented by one or more notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (and its registered assigns); provided that the Borrower shall not be obligated to deliver a new Term Note unless and until it receives its original Term Note back or a lost note affidavit and customary indemnity reasonably acceptable to such Borrower. (g) Any Lender may request that Revolving Loans made by it be evidenced by a Revolving Note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Note payable to such Lender (and its registered assigns). Thereafter, the Revolving Loans evidenced by such Revolving Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 12.07) be represented by one or more Revolving Notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (and its registered assigns); provided that the Borrower shall not be obligated to deliver a new Revolving Note unless and until it receives its original Revolving Note back or a lost note affidavit and customary indemnity reasonably acceptable to such Borrower. (h) Any Lender may request that Swingline Loans made by it be evidenced by a Swingline Note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a Swingline Note payable to such Lender (and its registered assigns). Thereafter, the Swingline Loans evidenced by such Swingline Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 12.07) be represented by one or more Swingline Notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (and its registered assigns); provided that the Borrower shall not be obligated to deliver a new Swingline Note unless and until it receives its original Swingline Note back or a lost note affidavit and customary indemnity reasonably acceptable to such Borrower. Section 2.04 Interest. (a) ABR Loans. The ABR Loans shall bear interest at ABR plus the Applicable Margin for ABR Loans. (b) SOFR Loans. The SOFR Loans shall bear interest at Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin for SOFR Loans. (c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified Event of Default, any overdue principal, interest or other overdue amounts shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding clauses of this Section 2.04 or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans. (d) Interest Payment. Interest on each Loan shall be payable (i) in arrears, on each Interest Payment Date and (ii) at maturity (whether upon demand, by acceleration or otherwise). Interest accrued pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 2.04 shall be payable on demand. In the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment. In the event of any conversion of a SOFR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the date of such conversion. (e) General. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to ABR at times when ABR is based on the prime rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The

76 applicable ABR or Term SOFR shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (f) Interest Election. (i) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the Notice of Borrowing and, in the case of a SOFR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a SOFR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.04(f). The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than eight (8) Interest Periods in effect at any time for all SOFR Borrowings. (ii) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.04(f), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by the time that a Notice of Borrowing would be required under Section 2.02 if the Borrower was requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower. (iii) Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.01 and Section 2.02: (A) the principal amount of Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (C) and (D) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); (B) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; (C) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing; and (D) if the resulting Borrowing is a SOFR Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. If any such Interest Election Request requests a SOFR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. (iv) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. (v) If the Borrower fail to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a SOFR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be deemed to have an Interest Period that is the same as the immediately preceding Interest Period. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative

77 Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a SOFR Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each SOFR Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Section 2.05 Reduction of Commitment; Prepayment of Loans. (a) Reduction of Commitments. (i) Revolving Commitments. The Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Final Maturity Date. The Borrower may reduce the Revolving Commitments to an amount (which may be zero) not less than the sum of (A) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding, (B) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans not yet made as to which a Notice of Borrowing has been given by the Borrower under Section 2.02, (C) the LC Exposure at such time and (D) the stated amount of all Letters of Credit not yet issued as to which a request has been made and not withdrawn. Each such reduction shall be (1) in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 (or by the full amount of the Revolving Commitments in effect immediately prior to such reduction if such amount at that time is less than $1,000,000), (2) in an amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000 (or by the full amount of the Revolving Commitments in effect immediately prior to such reduction if such amount results in an integral multiple of less than $100,000), (2) made by providing not less than three (3) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent) prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and (3) irrevocable: provided that such notice may provide that it is conditioned upon the consummation of other financing or the consummation of other Specified Transactions, in which case, such notice may be revoked or extended by the Borrower if any such condition is not satisfied prior to the date of termination of the commitment specified in such notice. Once reduced, the Revolving Commitments may not be increased (other than in connection with an Incremental Revolving Commitment). Each such reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall reduce the Revolving Commitment of each Lender proportionately in accordance with its Pro Rata Share thereof. (ii) Term Loan. The Initial Term Loan Commitment shall terminate upon funding of the Initial Term Loan on the Closing Date. (b) Optional Prepayment. (i) Revolving Loan. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, prepay the principal of any Revolving Loan, in whole or in part. Each prepayment made pursuant to this clause (b)(i) shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued and unpaid interest to the date of such payment on the amount prepaid. Each optional repayment of Revolving Loans shall by in a minimum principal amount equal to $500,000 or any whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof. (ii) Term Loan. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period of time as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), prepay the principal of any Term Loan, in whole or in part. Each prepayment made pursuant to this clause (b)(ii) shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued and unpaid interest to the date of such payment on the amount prepaid. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Term Loan and to the installments thereof as directed by the Borrower (or, absent such direction, in direct order of maturity). Each optional prepayment of Term Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount equal to $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof or such lesser amount as constitutes the remaining outstanding amount of the Term Loans at the time of such prepayment.

78 (iii) Termination of Agreement. The Borrower may, upon at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period of time as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), terminate this Agreement by paying to the Administrative Agent, in cash, the Obligations (including (A) either (1) the cash collateralization, backstopping or rollover of all undrawn Letters of Credit or (2) causing the original Letters of Credit to be returned to the Administrative Agent and (B) paying in full in cash and/or cash collateralizing in the amount of the Bank Product Obligations and, if required by the applicable Bank Product Provider, terminating such Bank Product Obligations in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Bank Product Provider providing such Bank Products), in full; provided that such notice may provide that it is conditioned upon the consummation of other financing or the consummation of a sale of Equity Interests, in which case, such notice may be revoked or extended by the Borrower if any such condition is not satisfied prior to the date of termination of this Agreement in such notice. If the Borrower has sent a notice of termination pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(iii), then the Borrower shall be obligated to repay the Obligations as described above, in full on the date set forth as the date of termination of this Agreement in such notice. (c) Mandatory Prepayment. (i) [Reserved]. (ii) Within five (5) Business Days of receipt by any Loan Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Extraordinary Receipts or Net Cash Proceeds from any Disposition made pursuant to clause (q), clause (y) or clause (z) of the definition of Permitted Disposition by any Loan Party or its Restricted Subsidiaries, the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.05(d) in an amount equal to 100% of the any Extraordinary Receipts or Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection with such Disposition, as applicable, provided that no such prepayment shall be required unless and until the total aggregate amount of any Extraordinary Receipts or Net Cash Proceeds received by all Loan Parties in any Fiscal Year (and not paid to the Administrative Agent as a prepayment of the Loans) exceed $10,000,000 (and to the extent prepayment is required, the required amount of such prepayment shall only be the any Extraordinary Receipts or Net Cash Proceeds in excess of the amount thereof). Nothing contained in this Section 2.05(c)(ii) shall permit any Loan Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to make a Disposition of any property other than in accordance with Section 7.02(c)(ii). (iii) Within five (5) Business Days of receipt by any Loan Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence by any Loan Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness (excluding Permitted Indebtedness), the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding amount of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.05(d) in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection therewith. The provisions of this Section 2.05(c)(iii) shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such issuance, incurrence or sale otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. (iv) [reserved]. (v) Without any reduction in the Revolving Commitment, the Borrower will immediately prepay the Revolving Loans at any time when the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans plus the outstanding amount of all LC Exposure exceeds any of the limits set forth in Section 2.01(a)(i) to the full extent of such excess. (vi) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to Net Cash Proceeds received by any Loan Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with a Disposition or the receipt of Extraordinary Receipts that are required to be used to prepay the Obligations pursuant to

79 Section 2.05(c)(ii), such Net Cash Proceeds from all such Dispositions and Extraordinary Receipts shall not be required to be so used to prepay the Obligations to the extent that such Net Cash Proceeds are reinvested in assets used or useful in such Person’s business, provided that, (A) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date such Person receives such Net Cash Proceeds, and (B) upon the earliest of (1) the date on which the Borrower determines that it does not intend to reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds, (2) 365 days after receipt of such Non Cash Proceeds (or, if a binding agreement relating to such reinvestment has been executed within such 365 day period but such reinvestment has not closed, an additional 180 days following such 365 day period) and (3) the occurrence of a Specified Event of Default, such Net Cash Proceeds, if not theretofore so used, shall be used to prepay the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.05(c)(ii). (vii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.05(c), (A) to the extent that any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of this Section 2.05(c) are attributable to a Foreign Subsidiary that would otherwise give rise to a prepayment obligation under any such clause (x) are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law or restrictions (not effected in anticipation or contemplation of such prepayment) under such Foreign Subsidiary’s Governing Documents (including as a result of minority ownership) from being repatriated to the United States or (y) the upstreaming or transfer as a distribution or dividend of which would, in the good faith determination of the Borrower in consultation with the Administrative Agent, cause any Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary thereof to incur a material adverse liability (including any withholding tax) or a material adverse tax consequence (including a deemed dividend) and (B) to the extent that any or all of the relevant Net Cash Proceeds described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of this Section 2.05(c) are received by any joint venture, for so long as the repatriation to the Borrower of such Net Cash Proceeds would be prohibited under the Governing Documents governing such joint venture or the existing documents governing the Indebtedness of such joint venture (such amount described in the foregoing clause (A) or (B), as the case may be, a “Restricted Amount”), then the amount the Borrower will be required to mandatorily prepay shall be reduced by the Restricted Amount and such Restricted Amount may be retained by the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, and the failure to apply any such Restricted Amounts toward any such mandatory prepayment shall not result in a Default or Event of Default hereunder; provided, that if and to the extent any such repatriation ceases to be prohibited, restricted or delayed by applicable local law or restrictions at any time during the one (1) year period immediately following the date on which the applicable mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.05 was required to be made, the Loan Parties shall reasonably promptly repatriate, or cause to be repatriated, an amount equal to such portion of the Restricted Amount no longer prohibited, restricted or delayed from being repatriated, and the Loan Parties shall reasonably promptly pay such portion of the Restricted Amount to the Lenders, which payment shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.05(d). (d) Application of Payments. Subject to the reinvestment right set forth in Section 2.05(c)(vi), each prepayment pursuant to clauses (c)(ii) and (c)(iii) above shall be applied as follows: (i) Each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to clauses (c)(ii) and (c)(iii) of this Section 2.05 shall be applied, first, ratably to the Term Loans, and any Incremental Term Loans that are secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is on a pari passu basis with the Lien securing the Obligations, until paid in full and second, to the Revolving Loans until paid in full and, with respect to the Revolving Loans, without a corresponding permanent reduction in Revolving Commitments (ii) Each such prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to clauses (c)(ii), and (c)(iii) of this Section 2.05 shall be applied against the first four (4) scheduled installments of principal of

80 the Term Loans in direct order of maturity of remaining amortization payments and next to the remaining principal repayment installments thereof on a pro rata basis. (e) Interest and Fees. Any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be accompanied by (i) accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of prepayment, (ii) any Funding Losses and (iii) if such prepayment would reduce the amount of outstanding Loans to zero, all fees accrued and unpaid to such date pursuant to Section 2.06. (f) Cumulative Prepayments. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.05, payments with respect to any subsection of this Section 2.05 are in addition to payments made or required to be made under any other subsection of this Section 2.05. (g) Declining Lenders. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, any Term Loan Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent by telephone (promptly confirmed in writing) at least one (1) Business Day (or such shorter period as may be established by the Administrative Agent) prior to the required prepayment date, to decline all or any portion of any prepayment of its Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05 (other than an optional prepayment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 2.05, which may not be declined), in which case the aggregate amount of the payment that would have been applied to prepay the Term Loans but was so declined shall be retained by the Borrower. Section 2.06 Fees. (a) Fee Letter. As and when due and payable under the terms of the Fee Letter, the Borrower shall pay the fees set forth in the Fee Letter. (b) Commitment Fee. From and after the Closing Date and until the Termination Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lenders), in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, quarterly in arrears on the last day of each quarter commencing September 30, 2025, the Commitment Fee. (c) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in each outstanding Letter of Credit, which shall accrue on the aggregate face amount of such Letter of Credit at the same Applicable Margin used to determine the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are SOFR Loans, during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Revolving Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon between the Borrower and such Issuing Bank, during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such Issuing bank relating the Letters of Credit as from time to time in effect. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the fifteenth day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

81 Section 2.07 Inability to Determine Interest Rates. (a) Temporary Unavailability of SOFR Rate. If, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for any SOFR Borrowing: (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that Term SOFR cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or (ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by Required Lenders that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders (or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be) by telephone or as otherwise permitted hereunder as promptly as practicable thereafter. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert ABR Loans to SOFR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (b), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into ABR Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.07(c). Subject to Section 2.07(b), if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on ABR Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “ABR” until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination. (b) Benchmark Replacement Setting. (i) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent (subject to clause (y) below) of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be

82 payable on a monthly basis. Each Swap Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.07(b). (ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. (iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (iv) below and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.07(b), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.07(b). (iv) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (x) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (y) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non- representative tenor and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (x) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (y) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor. (v) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the ABR.

83 (c) In connection with each SOFR Loan, the Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold the Agents and the Lenders harmless against any loss, cost, or expense incurred by any Agent or any Lender as a result of (a) the payment of any principal of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of a Default or an Event of Default or any mandatory prepayment required pursuant to Section 2.05(c)), (b) the conversion of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of a Default or an Event of Default), or (c) the failure to borrow (other than as a result of a failure of a Defaulting Lender to fund in accordance with this Agreement), convert, continue or prepay any SOFR Loan on the date specified in any Notice of Borrowing or notice of conversion, continuation or prepayment delivered pursuant hereto (such losses, costs, and expenses, collectively, “Funding Losses”), including any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by any Agent or any Lender to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (d) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any Requirement of Law, or any Change in Law, shall make it unlawful for any Lender (for purposes of this Section 2.07(d), the term “Lender” shall include any Lender and the office or branch where any Lender or any corporation or bank controlling such Lender makes or maintains any SOFR Loans) to make or maintain its SOFR Loans, the Administrative Agent shall provide notice of same to the Borrower and the obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans hereunder shall forthwith be suspended until such notice is withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower shall, if any affected SOFR Loans are then outstanding, promptly upon request from the Administrative Agent, either pay all such affected SOFR Loans or convert such affected SOFR Loans into loans of another type. If any such payment or conversion of any SOFR Loan is made on a day that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such SOFR Loan, the Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, such amount or amounts as may be necessary to compensate the Lenders for any Funding Losses sustained or incurred by the Lenders in respect of such SOFR Loan as a result of such payment or conversion, including (but not limited to) any interest or other amounts payable by the Lenders to lenders of funds obtained by the Lenders in order to make or maintain such SOFR Loan. A certificate as to any additional amounts that describes in reasonable detail the calculations thereof payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by the Lenders to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Section 2.08 Extended Term Loans; Extended Revolving Commitments. (a) The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, request that all or a portion of any class of Term Loan be amended to extend the scheduled maturity date (a “Term Loan Extension”) with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of the applicable Term Loan (the Term Loan or portion thereof that has been so amended, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.07(d) without the consent of any Lender other than the extending Lender(s). In order to establish any Extended Term Loan, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to each Term Loan Lender) (a “Term Loan Extension Request”), (i) certifying that no Default or Event of Default then exists or would result from such Term Loan Extension, (ii) certifying that both before and after giving effect to such Term Loan Extension, each of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the proposed effective date for such Term Loan Extension to the same extent as though made on and as of that date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date, provided that if a representation and warranty is qualified as to materiality, the materiality qualifier set forth above shall be disregarded with respect to such representation and warranty for purposes of this condition, (iii) the Borrower shall have offered to all Term Loan Lenders the opportunity to participate in such Term Loan

84 Extension on a pro rata basis with respect to the corresponding Term Loan and on the same terms and conditions to each such Term Loan Lender and any applicable Term Loan Lender may elect to agree or to decline to participate in such Term Loan Extension, in its sole discretion, and (iv) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which (x) shall be identical as offered to each Term Loan Lender of the applicable class (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and offered pro rata to each Term Loan Lender of the applicable class and (y) shall specify the date on which the Borrower proposes that the Term Loan Extension shall be effective and the proposed final maturity date of the Extended Term Loan, except that: (i) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loan may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the applicable Term Loan, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (ii) repayments of principal of the Extended Term Loan may be delayed to dates occurring after the Final Maturity Date; (iii) the effective All-In Yield with respect to the Extended Term Loan (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the effective All-In Yield for the applicable Term Loan to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (iv) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply only after the Final Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loan); (v) Extended Term Loans may have mandatory prepayment terms that provide for the application of proceeds from mandatory prepayment events to be made first to prepay the applicable Term Loan before applying any such proceeds to prepay such Extended Term Loans; and (vi) Extended Term Loans may have optional prepayment terms (including call protection and terms which allow the applicable Term Loan to be optionally prepaid prior to the prepayment of such Extended Term Loan) as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders; provided that no Extended Term Loans may be optionally prepaid prior to the date on which the Obligations (other than Contingent Indemnity Obligations) with respect to the applicable Term Loan are paid in full, unless such optional prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata optional prepayment of the applicable Term Loan. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (i) in no event shall the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loan at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the Final Maturity Date, (ii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loan at the time of establishment thereof shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the applicable Term Loan, and (iii) any Extended Term Loan may participate on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Term Loan Extension Request. (c) The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, request that all or a portion of the Revolving Commitments be amended to extend the scheduled maturity date (a “Revolving Extension”) with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Revolving Commitments (any such Revolving Commitments which have been so amended, “Extended Revolving Commitments”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.08 without the consent of any Revolving Lender other than the extending Revolving Lender(s). In order to establish any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly provide

85 a copy of such notice to each Revolving Lender) (each, a “Revolving Extension Request”), (i) certifying that no Default or Event of Default then exists, (ii) certifying that both before and after giving effect to such Revolving Extension, each of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the proposed effective date for the Revolving Extension to the same extent as though made on and as of that date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date, provided that if a representation and warranty is qualified as to materiality, the materiality qualifier set forth above shall be disregarded with respect to such representation and warranty for purposes of this condition, (iii) the Borrower shall have offered to all Revolving Lenders the opportunity to participate in such Revolving Extension on a pro rata basis with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments and on the same terms and conditions to each such Revolving Lender, and any Revolving Lender may elect to agree or to decline, in its sole discretion, and (iv) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Commitments to be established, which (x) shall be identical as offered to each Revolving Lender (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and offered pro rata to each Revolving Lender and (y) shall specify the date on which the Borrower proposes that the Revolving Extension shall be effective and the proposed final maturity date of the Extended Revolving Commitment, except that: (i) the maturity date of the Extended Revolving Commitments may be delayed to a later date than the Final Maturity Date, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (ii) the effective All-In Yield with respect to the Extended Revolving Commitment (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the effective All-In Yield for Revolving Extensions to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Final Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such extended Revolving Credit Commitments); and (iv) all borrowings under the Revolving Credit Commitments and the extended Revolving Credit Commitments and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (x) payments of interest and fees at different rates on extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings) and (y) repayments required upon the maturity date of the non-extending Revolving Credit Commitments); provided that in no event shall the final maturity date of any extended Revolving Credit Commitments at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the then Final Maturity Date of the corresponding Revolving Credit Commitments. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (i) in no event shall the final maturity date of any Extended Revolving Commitment at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the Final Maturity Date, (ii) the amount of the extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall not include any scheduled decrease prior to the Final Maturity Date, and (iii) any Extended Revolving Commitment may participate on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Revolving Extension Request. (e) The Borrower shall provide a Term Loan Extension Request at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the Term Loan Lenders are requested to respond, and shall agree

86 to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.07(d). No Term Loan Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree to have any of its Term Loans amended into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request, and no Term Loan Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to respond to any such Term Loan Extension Request. Any Lender that does not respond to the Term Loan Extension Request on or prior to the date specified therein shall be deemed to have rejected such Term Loan Extension Request. Any existing Term Loan Lender wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loan subject to such Term Loan Extension Request amended into Extended Term Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Term Loan Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Term Loan Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans which it has elected to be amended into Extended Term Loans (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent). In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans in respect of which applicable Term Loan Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Term Loan Extension Request exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans requested to be extended pursuant to the Term Loan Extension Request, Term Loans subject to Term Loan Extension Elections shall be amended to Extended Term Loans on a pro rata basis (subject to rounding by the Administrative Agent, which shall be conclusive) based on the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans included in each such Term Loan Extension Election. (f) The Borrower shall provide a Revolving Extension Request at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the Revolving Lenders are requested to respond, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.08. No Revolving Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree to have any of its Revolving Credit Commitments amended into Extended Revolving Commitments pursuant to any Revolving Extension Request, and no Revolving Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to respond to any such Revolving Extension Request. Any Revolving Lender that does not respond to the Revolving Extension Request on or prior to the date specified therein shall be deemed to have rejected such Revolving Extension Request. Any Revolving Lender wishing to have all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment subject to such Revolving Extension Request amended into extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, a “Revolving Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Revolving Extension Request of the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitments which it has elected to be amended into Extended Revolving Commitments (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent). In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Commitments in respect of which applicable Revolving Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Revolving Extension Request exceeds the amount of Extended Revolving Commitments requested to be extended pursuant to the Revolving Extension Request, Revolving Commitments subject to Revolving Extension Elections shall be amended to Revolving Commitments on a pro rata basis (subject to rounding by the Administrative Agent, which shall be conclusive) based on the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Commitments included in each such Revolving Extension Election. (g) Extended Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an Extension Amendment to this Agreement among the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Term Loan Lender providing an Extended Term Loan, which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth above (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender other than those consents provided pursuant to this Agreement). Each Extension Amendment shall be binding on the Lenders, the Loan Parties and the other parties hereto. In connection with any Extension Amendment, the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall enter into such amendments to the other Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Agents in order to ensure that the Extended Term Loans are provided with the benefit of the Collateral provided in the other Loan Documents and shall deliver such other agreements, documents, certificates and opinions of counsel in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Agents.

87 (h) Extended Revolving Commitments shall be established pursuant to an Extension Amendment to this Agreement among the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, and each Revolving Lender providing an Extended Revolving Commitment, which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth above (but which shall not require the consent of any other Revolving Lender other than those consents provided pursuant to this Agreement). Each Extension Amendment shall be binding on the Revolving Lenders, the Loan Parties and the other parties hereto. In connection with any Extension Amendment, the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall enter into such amendments to the other Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Agents in order to ensure that the Extended Revolving Commitments are provided with the benefit of the Collateral provided in the other Loan Documents and shall deliver such other agreements, documents, certificates and opinions of counsel in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Agents. (i) The provisions of this Section 2.07(d) shall override any provision of Section 2.02 (other than provisions therein that require certain unanimous votes) to the contrary. No conversion of Loans pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request and Revolving Extension Request, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 2.07(d) shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement. Section 2.09 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any Withholding Agent shall be required by applicable law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Secured Party as determined in such Withholding Agent’s good faith discretion, (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deductions or withholdings and (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (iii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased by the amount (an “Additional Amount”) necessary such that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions or withholdings for Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.09) such Secured Party (or such Transferee) receives the amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. (b) In addition, each Loan Party agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any Other Taxes. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.09, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. (c) The Loan Parties hereby jointly and severally indemnify and agree to hold each Secured Party harmless from and against Indemnified Taxes (including, Indemnified Taxes imposed on any amounts payable under this Section 2.09) payable or paid by such Person or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Secured Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Such indemnification shall be paid within 10 days from the date on which any such Person makes written demand therefore specifying in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such Indemnified Taxes. 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.

88 (d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand thereof, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.07(i) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph. (e) Any Secured Party that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Secured Party, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Secured Party is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.09(e)(i), 2.09(e)(ii) or 2.09(e)(iv)) shall not be required if in the Secured Party’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Secured Party to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Secured Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that (A) the Borrower is a U.S. Person or (B) an interest payment made to a Recipient under this Agreement is interest that is “treated as income from sources within the United States” within the meaning of Section 861(a) of the Internal Revenue Code: (i) any Secured Party that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Secured Party becomes a Secured Party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Secured Party is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax; (ii) any Foreign Secured Party shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Secured Party becomes a Secured Party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: (1) in the case of a Foreign Secured Party claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN- E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to

89 the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; (2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; (3) in the case of a Foreign Secured Party claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Secured Party is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN- E, as applicable; or (4) to the extent a Foreign Secured Party is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H- 2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9 and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Secured Party is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Secured Party are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Secured Party may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct or indirect partner; (iii) any Foreign Secured Party shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Secured Party becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine withholding or deduction required to be made; and (iv) if a payment made to a Secured Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Secured Party were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Secured Party 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 Internal Revenue 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 Secured Party has complied with such Secured Party’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Each Secured Party agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

90 (f) [reserved]. (g) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.09 (including by the payment of additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.09), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.09 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph the payment of which would place such indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. (h) The obligations of the Loan Parties under this Section 2.09 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Secured Party, the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. (i) For purposes of this Section 2.09, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. Section 2.10 Increased Costs and Reduced Return. (a) If any Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or the Issuing Bank; (ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit made by such Issuing Bank or participation therein; or (iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient or participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, from time to time upon request of such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will

91 compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as applicable, for such additional costs or expenses incurred or reduction suffered. (b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has had or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participation in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the holding company thereof could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of the holding company thereof with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then, from time to time upon the request of such Lender or the Issuing Bank, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank, or the holding company thereof for any such reduction suffered. (c) A certificate of such Secured Party claiming compensation under this Section 2.10, specifying the event herein above described and the nature of such event shall be submitted by such Secured Party to the Borrower, setting forth the additional amount due and an explanation of the calculation thereof, and such Secured Party’s reasons for invoking the provisions of this Section 2.10, and shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error. (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. Section 2.11 Changes in Law; Impracticability or Illegality. (a) Term SOFR may be adjusted by the Administrative Agent with respect to any Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining any SOFR Loan or increased costs due to changes in applicable law occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including changes in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor), which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of funding loans bearing interest at Term SOFR. In any such event, the affected Lender shall give the Borrower and the Administrative Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment and the Administrative Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice from the affected Lender, the Borrower may, by notice to such affected Lender (i) require such Lender to furnish to the Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting Term SOFR and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment, or (ii) repay the SOFR Loans with respect to which such adjustment is made (together with any amounts due under Section 2.09). (b) In the event that any change in market conditions or any law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation of application thereof, shall at any time after the Closing Date, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain SOFR Loans or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest

92 rates at Term SOFR, such Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and (i) in the case of any SOFR Loans of such Lender that are outstanding, the date specified in such Lender’s notice shall be deemed to be the last day of the Interest Period of such SOFR Loans, and interest upon the SOFR Loans of such Lender thereafter shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to ABR Loans of the same type hereunder, and (ii) the Borrower shall not be entitled to elect the SOFR Option (including in any borrowing, conversion or continuation then being requested) until such Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to do so. (c) The obligations of the Loan Parties under this Section 2.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. Section 2.12 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requires the Borrower to pay any Additional Amounts under Section 2.09 or requests compensation under Section 2.10, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to such Section in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense (other than de minimis costs and expenses) and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. (b) If any Lender requires the Borrower to pay any Additional Amounts under Section 2.09 or requests compensation under Section 2.10 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with clause (a) above, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Holdout Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 12.07), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that: (i) the Collateral Agent shall have received any assignment fees specified in Section 12.07; (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participation in Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.07(d) and Section 2.09) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.09 or a claim for compensation under Section 2.10, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and

93 (v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Holdout Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented (or is willing to consent upon becoming a Lender) to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. Prior to the effective date of such assignment, the assigning Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance, subject only to the conditions set forth above. If the assigning Lender shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment and Acceptance within three (3) days of delivery of the notice from the Borrower described above of such assignment, the assigning Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance or the Borrower may (but not obligated) to execute such an Assignment and Assumption on behalf of such replaced Lender and such assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Section 2.12 and Section 12.07. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower (in the good faith judgment of the Borrower and the Agent) to require such assignment and delegation have ceased to apply. ARTICLE III LETTERS OF CREDIT Section 3.01 General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request any Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars as the applicant thereof for the support of its or its Restricted Subsidiaries’ obligations, in a form reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the earlier of the Final Maturity Date and the date of termination of the Commitments. As of the Closing Date, the Existing Letter of Credit shall constitute, for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, a Letter of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder. Section 3.02 Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Extension; Certain Conditions. (a) To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to an Issuing Bank selected by it and to the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension, but in any event no less than three (3) Business Days) (of such later date as the Issuing Bank may agree) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply Section 3.03), the amount and currency of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend or extend such Letter of Credit. In addition, as a condition to any such Letter of Credit issuance, the Borrower shall have entered into a continuing agreement (or other letter of credit agreement) for the issuance of letters of credit and/or shall submit a letter of credit application, in each case, as required by the Issuing Bank and using such Issuing Bank’s standard form (each, a “Letter of Credit Agreement”). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Letter of Credit Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension (i) (x) the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank at such time plus (y) the aggregate amount of all LC Disbursements made by such Issuing Bank that have not yet been reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower at such time shall not exceed its Letter of Credit

94 Commitment, (ii) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the total Letter of Credit Commitments, and (iii) no Lender’s Revolving Exposure shall exceed its Commitment. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, reduce the Letter of Credit Commitment of any Issuing Bank with the consent of such Issuing Bank; provided that the Borrower shall not reduce the Letter of Credit Commitment of any Issuing Bank if, after giving effect of such reduction, the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above shall not be satisfied. (b) An Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or require that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the effective date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on the effective date and that such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; or (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally. Section 3.03 Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire (or be subject to termination by notice from the applicable Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereof) at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the 12-month anniversary of the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any extension of the expiration date thereof, twelve (12) months after such extension) and (ii) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to date specified in clause (a)(ii) of the definition of the Final Maturity Date; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit with a term not exceeding twelve (12) months may provide for its renewal for additional periods not exceeding twelve (12) months as long as (x) the Borrower and such Issuing Bank have the option to prevent such renewal before the expiration of such term or any such period and (y) neither such Issuing Bank nor the Borrower shall permit any such renewal to extend such expiration date beyond the date set forth in clause (ii) above; provided further that notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank may agree to extend such Letter of Credit beyond the date set forth in clause (ii) above upon the Borrower either (A) delivering to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Bank cash equal to 103% of the sum of (1) the aggregate undrawn amount of such Letters of Credit at such time plus (2) the aggregate principal amount of all reimbursement obligations pursuant to Section 3.05 outstanding at such time with respect to such Letters of Credit that have matured, in each instance, on and as of the date of such extension, or (B) delivering to the Issuing Bank on the date of such extension one or more letters of credit for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, issued by a bank reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, and in an amount equal to the sum of (1) and (2) above. Section 3.04 Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 3.05, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason,

95 including after the Final Maturity Date. Each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments. Section 3.05 Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount in the currency of such LC Disbursement equal to such LC Disbursement not later than one (1) Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.02 that such payment be financed with an ABR Borrowing in an equivalent amount, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(c) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.02(c) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. Section 3.06 Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 3.05 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, any Letter of Credit Agreement or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Article III, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their respective Affiliates and the respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors of such Person and such Person’s Affiliates, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms, any error in translation or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts

96 and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. Section 3.07 Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit shall, within the time allowed by applicable law or the specific terms of the Letter of Credit following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or electronic mail) of such demand for payment if such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of their obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. Section 3.08 Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full in the applicable currency on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the reimbursement is due and payable at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans and such interest shall be due and payable on the date when such reimbursement is payable; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to Section 3.05, then Section 2.04(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of such Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Section 3.05 to reimburse such Issuing Bank for such LC Disbursement shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment. Section 3.09 Replacement and Resignation of an Issuing Bank. (a) An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.06(c). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (x) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (y) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous the Issuing Bank, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. (b) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Bank, any Issuing Bank may resign as an Issuing Bank at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, such resigning Issuing Bank shall be replaced in accordance with Section 3.09(a) above.

97 Section 3.10 Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, within one (1) Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account or accounts with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders (the “Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 103% of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in Sections 9.01(f) and (g). Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing or Section 3.03, if any LC Exposure remain outstanding after the expiration date specified in Section 3.03, the Borrower shall immediately deposit into the Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to 103% of such LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. (a) The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, together with related fees, costs and customary processing charges, and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations pursuant to Section 3.05 of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy other Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. Section 3.11 Letters of Credit Issued for Account of Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder supports any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Restricted Subsidiary, or states that a Restricted Subsidiary is the “account party,” “applicant,” “customer,” “instructing party,” or the like of or for such Letter of Credit, and without derogating from any rights of the applicable Issuing Bank (whether arising by contract, at law, in equity or otherwise) against such Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower (i) shall reimburse, indemnify and compensate the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for such Letter of Credit (including to reimburse any and all drawings thereunder) as if such Letter of Credit had been issued solely for the account of the Borrower and (ii) irrevocably waives any and all defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of any or all of the obligations of such Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of such Letters of Credit for its Restricted Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Restricted Subsidiaries. ARTICLE IV APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS; DEFAULTING LENDERS Section 4.01 Payments; Computations and Statements. (a) The Borrower will make each payment under this Agreement not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due,

98 in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent’s Account. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day will be credited to the Loan Account on the next succeeding Business Day. All payments shall be made by the Borrower without set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, deduction or other defense to the Agents and the Lenders. Except as provided in Section 2.02, after receipt, the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal ratably to the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Whenever any payment to be made under any such Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be. All computations of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fees hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes in the absence of manifest error. (b) The Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower, promptly after the end of each calendar month, a summary statement (in the form from time to time used by the Administrative Agent) of the opening and closing daily balances in the Loan Account of the Borrower during such month, the amounts and dates of all Loans made to the Borrower during such month, the amounts and dates of all payments on account of the Loans to the Borrower during such month and the Loans to which such payments were applied, the amount of interest accrued on the Loans to the Borrower during such month, any Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank for the account of the Borrower during such month, specifying the face amount thereof, the amount of charges to the Loan Account and/or Loans made to the Borrower during such month to reimburse the Revolving Lenders for drawings made under Letters of Credit, and the amount and nature of any charges to the Loan Account made during such month on account of fees, commissions, expenses and other Obligations. All entries on any such statement shall be presumed to be correct and, 30 days after the same is sent, shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error. Section 4.02 Sharing of Payments. Except as provided in Section 2.02, if any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of any Obligation in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of similar obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith (a) turn the same over to Administrative Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to Administrative Agent, or in immediately available funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in such similar obligations held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that (a) if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and each Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender of any interest or other amount paid by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered) and (b) the provisions of this Section 4.02 shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant, other than to any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 4.02 shall apply). The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 4.02 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its rights (including the Lender’s right of set-off) with

99 respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. Section 4.03 Apportionment of Payments. Subject to Section 2.02 hereof and to any written agreement among the Agents and/or the Lenders: (a) All payments of principal and interest in respect of outstanding Loans, all payments in respect of the LC Exposure, all payments of fees (other than the fees set forth in Section 2.06 hereof) and all other payments in respect of any other Obligations, shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares or otherwise as provided herein or, in respect of payments not made on account of Loans or LC Exposure, as designated by the Person making payment when the payment is made. (b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and upon the direction of the Required Lenders shall, apply all payments in respect of any Obligations, including all proceeds of the Collateral pursuant to Section 9.03, subject to any Permitted Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or Permitted Junior Intercreditor Agreement, if applicable. Section 4.04 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law: (a) Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 12.02. (b) The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to such Defaulting Lender any payments made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for such Defaulting Lender’s benefit, and, in the absence of such transfer to such Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent shall transfer any such payments to each other non-Defaulting Lender ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (without giving effect to the Pro Rata Shares of such Defaulting Lender) (but only to the extent that such Defaulting Lender’s Loans were funded by the other Lenders) or, if so directed by the Borrower and if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and to the extent such Defaulting Lender’s Loans were not funded by the other Lenders), retain the same to be re-advanced to the Borrower as if such Defaulting Lender had made such Loans to the Borrower. Subject to the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender the amount of all such payments received and retained by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender. (c) Any such failure to fund by any Defaulting Lender shall constitute a material breach by such Defaulting Lender of this Agreement and shall entitle the Borrower to replace the Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.12. Such notice to replace the Defaulting Lender shall specify an effective date for such replacement, which date shall not be later than 3 Business Days after the date such notice is given. Prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Defaulting Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance, subject only to the Defaulting Lender being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations without any premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever. If the Defaulting Lender shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment and Acceptance prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance. The replacement of any Defaulting Lender shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 12.07.

100 (d) The operation of this Section 4.03 shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitments of any Lender, to relieve or excuse the performance by such Defaulting Lender or any other Lender of its duties and obligations hereunder, or to relieve or excuse the performance by the Borrower of its duties and obligations hereunder to the Administrative Agent or to the Lenders other than such Defaulting Lender. (e) This Section 4.03 shall remain effective with respect to such Lender until either (i) the Obligations under this Agreement shall have been declared or shall have become immediately due and payable or (ii) the non-Defaulting Lenders, the Agents, and the Borrower shall have waived such Defaulting Lender’s default in writing, and the Defaulting Lender makes its Pro Rata Share of the applicable defaulted Loans and pays to the Agents all amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender in respect thereof; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided further that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

112 (i) [Reserved]. (ii) Maintain and preserve, and cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Immaterial Subsidiaries and other than as expressly permitted under Section 7.02(c)) to maintain and preserve, its existence, rights and privileges, and become or remain, and, if such concepts are applicable, cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to become or remain, duly qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it or in which the transaction of its business makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. (iii) Cause the Fiscal Year of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries to end on December 31 of each calendar year unless the Agents consent to a change in such Fiscal Year (and appropriate related changes to this Agreement), it being agreed that the Borrower may change, and may cause its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Fiscal Years to change, to a Fiscal Year ending on December 31 of each calendar year.

The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall give the Loan Parties a reasonable opportunity to participate in any discussions with the Loan Parties’ independent public accountants.

If any letter, notice, subpoena, court order, pleading or other document required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent and each Lender pursuant to this clause (vi) contains any information deemed “classified” by the Government or the dissemination of any such information to the Administrative Agent and each Lender would result in any Loan Party or its Restricted Subsidiaries violating any Applicable Laws or Government Contract, then the Loan Parties shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a summary of such letter, notice, subpoena, court order, pleading or other document containing a

115 summary thereof, but including as much (but no more) detail as can be included therein without violating such Applicable Laws or Government Contract. (l) [Reserved]. (m) [Reserved]. (n) Use of Proceeds. (i) The proceeds of the Term Loans made on the Closing Date shall be used (A) to pay the Transaction Costs and (B) to repay in full the Existing Indebtedness and (ii) the proceeds of Revolving Loans shall be used by the Borrower from time to time after the Closing Date for general working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Borrower (including, but not limited to, Permitted Acquisitions and Capital Expenditures). The proceeds of any Incremental Loans shall be used solely for generally working capital and general corporate purposes, including, but not limited Permitted Acquisitions, Permitted Investments and Permitted Restricted Payments. The Borrower will not request any Loan or Letter of Credit, and the Borrower shall not use, and shall procure that its Restricted Subsidiaries and their or their respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall not use, the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit (A) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (B) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country to the extent such activities, businesses or transaction would be prohibited by Sanctions if conducted by a corporation incorporated in the United States, Canada or in a European Union member state, or (C) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable to any party hereto. (o) Designation of Restricted Subsidiaries. (i) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date designate pursuant to this clause (i) any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that immediately after such designation on a pro forma basis, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided, further, that no Restricted Subsidiary may be re-designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, and no Unrestricted Subsidiary may be re-designated as a Restricted Subsidiary, in each case, on more than one occasion. The designation of any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Closing Date pursuant to this clause (i) shall constitute an Investment by the Borrower therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to (i) the lesser of (A) the fair market value of the Investments of the Loan Parties and their Restricted Subsidiaries in such Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time of such designation, combination or transfer (or of the assets transferred or conveyed, as applicable) and (B) the fair market value of Investments of the Loan Parties and their Restricted Subsidiaries made in connection with the designation of such Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary minus (ii) the portion (proportionate to the Loan Parties’ and their Subsidiaries’ Capital Stock in such resulting Restricted Subsidiary) of the fair market value of the net assets of such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such redesignation, combination or transfer (or of the assets transferred or conveyed, as applicable). For the avoidance of doubt, such designation shall only be permitted if such Investment would be permitted under the definition of “Permitted Investment”. The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to this clause (i) shall constitute (i) the incurrence at the time of designation of any Investment, Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time and (ii) a return on any Investment by the Borrower in Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the preceding sentence in an amount equal to the fair market value at the date of such designation of the Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries’ (as applicable) Investment in such Subsidiary. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at no time may any Restricted Subsidiary be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if it owns or holds (or is the holder of an exclusive license of) any Intellectual Property that is material to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (taken

116 as a whole), and none of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may contribute or otherwise transfer (including by way of an exclusive license) any such material Intellectual Property to an Unrestricted Subsidiary. In addition, no Restricted Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if such Subsidiary directly or indirectly owns any Equity Interests or Indebtedness of, or holds a Lien on, any property of, Borrower, any Guarantor or any Subsidiary that is not a Restricted Subsidiary to be so designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary. (ii) For all purposes hereunder, the designation of a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to constitute a concurrent designation of any Subsidiary of such Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary. As set forth in Section 10.08, any Restricted Subsidiary (and each of its Subsidiaries) that is a Guarantor immediately prior to its designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be automatically released from its Guaranty upon becoming an Unrestricted Subsidiary, and any Liens on such Restricted Subsidiary’s assets securing the Obligations shall be automatically released upon becoming an Unrestricted Subsidiary. (iii) Concurrently with any designation made or deemed to be made in accordance with this Section 7.01(o), the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (which shall distribute to the Lenders) a certificate of an Authorized Officer certifying that (A) the designation or deemed designation satisfies the applicable conditions set forth in this Section 7.01(o) and (B) the Borrower is in compliance with the Financial Covenants set forth in Article VIII both before and after giving effect to such designation on a pro forma basis. (iv) Prior to and at all times after designation, the aggregate amount of Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Total Assets of all Unrestricted Subsidiaries shall not exceed 10.0% of Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Total Assets of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries. If at any time the Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets of all Unrestricted Subsidiaries in the aggregate exceeds 10.0% of Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets, as applicable, of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, the Borrower shall promptly redesignate one or more Unrestricted Subsidiaries as Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with the thresholds set out in this clause (iv). (p) Lender Meetings. Upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (which request, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall not be made more than once during each fiscal quarter of the Borrower), hold a conference call at such time as may be agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders. (q) Further Assurances. (i) Take such action and execute, acknowledge and deliver, and cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to take such action and execute, acknowledge and deliver, at its sole cost and expense, such agreements, instruments or other documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require from time to time in order (A) to subject to valid and perfected first priority Liens (subject to Permitted Liens) any of the Collateral in favor of the Lenders and (B) to establish and maintain the validity and effectiveness of any of the Loan Documents and the validity, perfection and priority of the Liens (subject to Permitted Liens) intended to be created thereby, subject to the limitations set forth in the last paragraph of Section 7.01(a). (ii) In furtherance of the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and solely to the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing sentence, each Loan Party (A) authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute any such agreements, instruments or other documents in such Loan Party’s name and to file such agreements, instruments or other documents in any appropriate

117 filing office and (B) authorizes the Administrative Agent to file any financing statement required hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and any continuation statement or amendment with respect thereto, in any appropriate filing office without the signature of such Loan Party. (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, (i) no Excluded Subsidiary shall be required to comply with this Section 7.01(q) and (ii) at Borrower’s written election provided to Administrative Agent, Borrower may cause any Excluded Subsidiary (including any Excluded Subsidiary that is a Foreign Subsidiary) to become a Loan Party in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.01(q); provided, that any such Foreign Subsidiary, prior to becoming a Loan Party, must provide Administrative Agent with information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, in each case, to the extent requested by Administrative Agent or any Lender. (iv) Within 45 days (or such longer period of time as the Administrative Agent may agree to in its sole discretion) after the Closing Date, (A) cause Turbine Weld Industries, LLC to be added as a Guarantor pursuant to Section 7.01(b) and (B) deliver to the Administrative Agent any stock certificates and stock powers required by the Loan Documents to the extent not currently in possession of the Administrative Agent. (r) Federal Assignment of Claims Act.

Section 3727 and 41 U.S.C. Section 15 (the “Government Contract Assignments”) in connection with each such Government Contract; however, (i) no Loan Party’s failure to execute and deliver any Government Contract Assignment shall constitute a default, breach or violation of the Loan Party’s obligation(s) set forth in this clause (r)(i), unless the Administrative Agent shall have made written demand upon the Loan Parties to fully and faithfully comply with its obligation(s) with respect to Government Contract Assignments set forth in this clause (r)(i) above; and (ii) no Government Contract Assignment shall be required for any Government Contract that (A) does not constitute a Material Contract (unless such demand shall be made after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, in which case Government Contract Assignments can be required by the Administrative Agent for any Government Contract), or (B) has a remaining term of less than twelve (12) months (with no option to extend). The Loan Parties acknowledge that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders will be irreparably harmed if any Loan Party fails or refuses to execute and deliver any Government Contract Assignment after the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, as and when required pursuant to this clause (r)(i), and that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no adequate remedy at law. In such event, the Loan Parties agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, to injunctive or other equitable relief to compel the Loan Parties’ full compliance with the requirements of this clause (r)(i).

(h) Restricted Payments. Make or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to make any Restricted Payment other than Permitted Restricted Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, the Borrower may make regularly scheduled payments of interest and fees on any Subordinated Indebtedness, and may make any payments required by the terms of such Indebtedness in order to avoid the application of Section 163(e)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code to such Indebtedness.

128 (b) if any amount remains on deposit as cash collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired (without any pending drawings), such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above. ARTICLE X AGENTS Section 10.01 Appointment. Each Lender (and each subsequent maker of any Loan by its making thereof) and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints, authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent to perform the duties of each such Agent as set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, including: (i) to receive on behalf of each Lender and Issuing Bank any payment of principal of or interest on the Loans outstanding hereunder and all other amounts accrued hereunder for the account of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank and paid to the Administrative Agent, and, subject to Section 2.02 of this Agreement, to distribute promptly to each Lender and Issuing Bank its Pro Rata Share of all payments so received; (ii) to distribute to each Lender and Issuing Bank copies of all material notices and agreements received by the Administrative Agent and not required to be delivered to each Lender and Issuing Bank pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, provided that the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank for any inadvertent failure to distribute any such notices or agreements to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank; (iii) to maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Loans, the Letters of Credit and related matters and to maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Collateral and related matters; (iv) to execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (v) to make the Loans for the Administrative Agent or on behalf of the applicable Lenders as provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (vi) to perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank with respect to the Loan Parties, the Obligations, or otherwise related to any of same to the extent reasonably incidental to the exercise by such Agent of the rights and remedies specifically authorized to be exercised by the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (vii) to incur and pay such fees necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (viii) subject to Section 10.03, to take such action as the Administrative Agent deems appropriate on its behalf to administer the Loans and the Loan Documents and to exercise such other powers delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or the other Loan Documents (including the power to give or to refuse to give notices, waivers, consents, approvals and instructions and the power to make or to refuse to make determinations and calculations); and (ix) to act with respect to all Collateral under the Loan Documents, including for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection of the Loans), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), and such instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) shall be binding upon all Lenders and all makers of Loans; provided, however, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which, in the reasonable opinion of any Agent, exposes such Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law.

129 Section 10.02 Nature of Duties; Delegation. (a) The Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents. The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. The Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or Issuing Bank. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank shall make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Loan Parties in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans hereunder and shall make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and the value of the Collateral, and the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or Issuing Bank with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into their possession before the initial Loan hereunder or at any time or times thereafter, provided that, upon the reasonable request of a Lender or Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent shall provide to such Lender or Issuing Bank any documents or reports delivered to the Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If the Administrative Agent seeks the consent or approval of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) to the taking or refraining from taking any action hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall send notice thereof to each Lender. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender any time that the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) have instructed the Administrative Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto. (b) The Administrative Agent may, upon any term or condition it specifies, delegate or exercise any of its rights, powers and remedies under, and delegate or perform any of its duties or any other action with respect to, any Loan Document by or through any trustee, co-agent, employee, attorney- in-fact and any other Person (including any Lender). Any such Person shall benefit from this Article X to the extent provided by the Administrative Agent. (c) No Arranger shall have any obligations or duties whatsoever in such capacity under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and shall incur no liability hereunder or thereunder in such capacity, but all such persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder. Section 10.03 Rights, Exculpation, Etc. The Administrative Agent and their directors, officers, agents or employees shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (i) may treat the payee of any Loan as the owner thereof until the Administrative Agent receive written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, pursuant to Section 12.07 hereof, signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to the Administrative Agent or counsel to the Loan Parties), independent public accountants, and other experts selected by any of them and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by any of them in accordance with the advice of such counsel or experts; (iii) make no warranty or representation to any Lender or Issuing Bank and shall not be responsible to any Lender or Issuing Bank for any statements, certificates, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the part of any Person, the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default, or to inspect the Collateral or other property (including the books and records) of any Person; (v) shall not be

130 responsible to any Lender or Issuing Bank for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (vi) shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made in good faith pursuant to Section 4.03, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error, and the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount which they are determined to be entitled. The Administrative Agent may at any time request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents the Administrative Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, the Administrative Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval under any of the Loan Documents until they shall have received such instructions from the Required Lenders (unless unanimity is required). Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents). Section 10.04 Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it, which may be counsel to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. Section 10.05 Indemnification. To the extent that the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank is not reimbursed and indemnified by any Loan Party, and whether or not the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank has made demand on any Loan Party for the same, the Lenders will, within five days of written demand by the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, reimburse the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank for and indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including client charges and expenses of counsel or any other advisor to the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank), advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, in proportion to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share, including advances and disbursements made pursuant to Section 10.08; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements for which there has been a final non-appealable judicial determination that such liability resulted from the Administrative Agent’s or Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.05 shall survive the payment in full of the Loans and the termination of this Agreement. Section 10.06 Agents Individually. With respect to its Pro Rata Share of the Commitments hereunder, the Loans made by it and Letters of Credit issued by it, the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender or maker of a Loan. The terms

131 “Lenders”, “Issuing Bank” or “Required Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender, an Issuing Bank, or one of the Required Lenders, as applicable. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Borrower as if it were not acting as an Agent pursuant hereto without any duty to account to the other Lenders or the Issuing Bank. Section 10.07 Successor Agent. (a) Any Agent may at any time give at least 30 days prior written notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a bank, trust company or other similar financial institution with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank, trust company or similar financial institution with an office in the United States. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation by the Required Lenders, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed nor shall it be required during the existence of an Event of Default), to appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed nor shall it be required during the existence of an Event of Default), to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no such successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a bank, trust company or other similar financial institution with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank, trust company or similar financial institution with an office in the United States. Whether or not a successor Agent has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. (b) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date, (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by such Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such retiring Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and Issuing Bank directly, until such time, if any, as a successor Agent shall have been appointed as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s Agent’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article, Section 12.04 and Section 12.14 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent. Section 10.08 Collateral Matters. (a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to release any Guarantor which is a Subsidiary of the Borrower (a “Subsidiary Guarantor”) from its obligations under the Guaranty upon (i) such Subsidiary Guarantor ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower or (ii) such Subsidiary Guarantor becoming an Excluded Subsidiary; provided, however that no such release shall occur pursuant to this clause (ii) with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor that becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of clause (b) of the definition thereof, unless such release was a result of a disposition

132 of Equity Interests in such Subsidiary Guarantor to a third party Person pursuant to a bona fide transaction and not for the purpose of, or primarily in contemplation of, this clause (ii). (b) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all Loans, all LC Exposure and all other Obligations (other than Contingent Indemnity Obligations) in accordance with the terms hereof; or constituting property being sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of any Loan Party’s business or otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; or constituting property in which the Loan Parties owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Lenders in accordance with Section 12.02. Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 10.08(b). (c) Without in any manner limiting the Collateral Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by the Lenders (as set forth in Section 10.08(b)), each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by the Collateral Agent, the authority to release Collateral conferred upon the Collateral Agent under Section 10.08(b). Upon prior written request by any Loan Party, the Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary or reasonably requested by any Loan Party to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (i) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Collateral Agent’s opinion, would expose the Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligations or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Lien upon (or obligations of any Loan Party in respect of) all interests in the Collateral retained by any Loan Party. (d) Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Loan Parties, each Agent and each Lender hereby agree that (i) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral under any Loan Document or to enforce any Guaranty (other than as a result of set-off rights pursuant to Section 12.05), it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof, (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and (iii) the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Agents and the Lenders (but not any other Agent or any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral to be sold (A) at any public or private sale, (B) at any sale conducted by the Collateral Agent under the provisions of the UCC (including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the UCC), (C) at any sale or foreclosure conducted by the Collateral Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with applicable law or (D) any sale conducted pursuant to the provisions of any Debtor Relief Law (including Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code), to use and apply all or any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale. (e) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Loan Parties or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Lien granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document has been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or is

133 entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent in this Section 10.08 or in any other Loan Document, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any other Lender, except as otherwise provided herein. (f) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no arrangements in respect of Bank Product Obligations will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under any Loan Document. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent to serve as administrative agent and the Collateral Agent to serve as collateral agent under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph. Section 10.09 Agency for Perfection. Each Agent and each Lender hereby appoints each other Agent and each other Lender as agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting the security interests in and liens upon the Collateral in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC, can be perfected only by possession or control (or where the security interest of a secured party with possession or control has priority over the security interest of another secured party) and each Agent and each Lender hereby acknowledges that it holds possession of or otherwise controls any such Collateral for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders as secured party. Should the Administrative Agent or any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions. In addition, the Collateral Agent shall also have the power and authority hereunder to appoint such other sub-agents as may be necessary or required under applicable state law or otherwise to perform its duties and enforce its rights with respect to the Collateral and under the Loan Documents. Each Loan Party by its execution and delivery of this Agreement hereby consents to the foregoing. Section 10.10 No Reliance on any Agent’s Customer Identification Program. (a) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on any Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other requirements imposed by the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations issued thereunder, including the regulations set forth in 31 C.F.R. §§ 1010.100(yy), (iii), 1020.100, and 1020.220 (formerly 31 C.F.R. § 103.121), as hereafter amended or replaced (“CIP Regulations”), or any other anti-terrorism laws, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Loan Parties, their Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (1) any identity verification procedures, (2) any recordkeeping, (3) comparisons with government lists, (4) customer notices or (5) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or other regulations issued under the USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender, Affiliate, participant or assignee subject to Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act will perform the measures necessary to satisfy its own responsibilities under the CIP Regulations. (b) Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the

134 United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to each Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations: (A) within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, and (B) as such other times as are required under the USA PATRIOT Act. (c) The USA PATRIOT Act requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities which open an “account” with such financial institution. Consequently, any Agent or Lender may from time to time request, and each Loan Party shall provide to such Agent or Lender, such Loan Party’s name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identifying information as shall be necessary for such Agent or such Lender to comply with the USA PATRIOT Act and any other anti-terrorism law. Section 10.11 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and no Loan Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. Section 10.12 No Fiduciary Relationship. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Document (or any other similar term) with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. Section 10.13 Certain ERISA Matters. (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true: (i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments, (ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84- 14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub- sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the

135 requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or (iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender. (b) In addition, unless the immediately preceding clause (a)(i) is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in the immediately preceding clause (a)(iv), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that none of the Administrative Agent, or any Arranger or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the Collateral or the assets of such Lender (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto). Section 10.14 Credit Bidding. The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 12.02 of this Agreement), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership interests, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an

136 acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata with their original interest in such Obligations and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party is deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid. Section 10.15 Collateral Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Collateral Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or LC Exposure shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether any Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Secured Parties (including any claim for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Secured Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Secured Party to make such payments to the Collateral Agent and, in the event that the Collateral Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Secured Parties, to pay to the Collateral Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Section 10.16 Posting of Communications. (a) The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks by posting the Communications on IntraLinks™, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”). (b) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Banks and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Administrative Agent is not responsible for approving

137 or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform, and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Banks and the Borrower hereby approve distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution. (c) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ARRANGER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Approved Electronic Platform. (d) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s (as applicable) email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address. (e) Each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Banks and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies. (f) Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document. Section 10.17 Erroneous Payments. (a) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party (any such Lender,

138 Issuing Bank, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under Section 10.17(b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuing Bank, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of Administrative Agent, and such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this Section 10.17(a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. (b) Without limiting the provisions of Section 10.17(a), each Payment Recipient hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), in each case: (i) (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) in the case of immediately preceding clause (z), an error has been made, in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and (ii) such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.17(b). (c) Each Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by Administrative Agent to such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party under any Loan Document, against any amount due to Administrative Agent under Section 10.17(a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement. (d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 10.17(a), from any Lender or Issuing Bank that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon

139 Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender or Issuing Bank at any time, (i) such Lender or Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or Issuing Bank shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to Borrower or Administrative Agent, (ii) Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender or assigning Issuing Bank shall cease to be a Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender or assigning Issuing Bank and (iv) Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender or Issuing Bank (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender or Issuing Bank and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”). (e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment. (f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. (g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 10.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof).

140 ARTICLE XI GUARANTY Section 11.01 Guaranty. (a) Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally and unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under any Loan Document or any Bank Product Agreements, whether for principal, interest (including all interest that accrues after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding of the Borrower, whether or not a claim for post-filing interest is allowed in such Insolvency Proceeding), LC Exposure, Bank Product Obligations, fees, commissions, expense reimbursements, indemnifications or otherwise (such obligations, to the extent not paid by the Borrower, being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Secured Parties (or any of them) in enforcing any rights under the guaranty set forth in this Article XI. (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the applicable Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the Borrower to the Secured Parties (as applicable) under any Loan Document but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of an Insolvency Proceeding involving the Borrower. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Guaranteed Obligations shall not include any Excluded Hedge Liabilities. In no event shall the obligation of any Guarantor hereunder exceed the maximum amount such Guarantor could guarantee under any Debtor Relief Law. Section 11.02 Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor jointly and severally guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto. Each Guarantor agrees that this Article XI constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not of collection and waives any right to require that any resort be made by any Secured Party to any Collateral. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Article XI are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce such obligations, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any Loan Party or whether any Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this Article XI shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of the following: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto; (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or otherwise; (c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

141 (d) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that any Guarantor may have at any time against any Person, including any Secured Party; (e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate, limited liability company or partnership structure or existence of any Loan Party; or (f) any other circumstance (including any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Secured Parties that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety. This Article XI shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Secured Parties or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. Section 11.03 Waiver. Each Guarantor hereby waives (i) promptness and diligence, (ii) notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Article XI and any requirement that the Secured Parties exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral, (iii) any right to compel or direct any Secured Party to seek payment or recovery of any amounts owed under this Article XI from any one particular fund or source or to exhaust any right or take any action against any other Loan Party, any other Person or any Collateral, (iv) any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right to take any action against any Loan Party, any other Person or any Collateral, and (v) any other defense available to any Guarantor (other than a defense of payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Contingent Indemnity Obligations)). Each Guarantor agrees that the Secured Parties shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Guarantor or against, or in payment of, any or all of the Obligations. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated herein and that the waiver set forth in this Section 11.03 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke this Article XI, and acknowledges that this Article XI is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future. Section 11.04 Continuing Guaranty; Assignments. This Article XI is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the later of the cash payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Contingent Indemnity Obligations) and all other amounts payable under this Article XI and the Final Maturity Date, (b) be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Secured Parties and their successors, pledgees, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Lender may pledge, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or any portion of its Commitments and its Loans and the LC Exposure owing to it) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted such Lender herein or otherwise, in each case as provided in Section 12.07. Section 11.05 Subrogation. No Guarantor will exercise any rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against any Loan Party or any other guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Article XI, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Secured Parties against any Loan Party or any other guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from any Loan Party or any other guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security solely on account of such

142 claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Contingent Indemnity Obligations) and all other amounts payable under this Article XI shall have been paid in full in cash and the Final Maturity Date shall have occurred. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the later of the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Contingent Indemnity Obligations) and all other amounts payable under this Article XI and the Final Maturity Date, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Secured Parties to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Article XI, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Article XI thereafter arising. If (i) any Guarantor shall make payment to the Secured Parties of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Article XI shall be paid in full in cash and (iii) the Final Maturity Date shall have occurred, the Secured Parties will, at such Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment by such Guarantor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.05, no Guarantor shall exercise any rights of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or other similar rights against, and shall not proceed or seek recourse against or with respect to any property or asset of, any Loan Party (including after payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Article or after termination of the Commitments) if all or any portion of the Obligations shall have been satisfied in connection with an exercise of remedies in respect of the Equity Interests of such Loan Party whether pursuant to the Security Agreement or otherwise. Section 11.06 Contribution. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves, in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to any Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Guarantor, to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Guarantors multiplied by, (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the obligations guaranteed. “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to any Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the “Fair Share Contribution Amount” with respect to any Guarantor for purposes of this Section 11.06, any assets or liabilities of such Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to any Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (A) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including in respect of this Section 11.06), minus (B) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Guarantor from the other Guarantors as contributions under this Section 11.06. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Guarantor. The allocation among Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 11.06 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 11.06.

Section 12.03 No Waiver; Remedies, Etc. No failure on the part of any Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right under any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of the Agents and the Lenders under any Loan Document against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by the Agents and the Lenders to exercise any of their rights under any other Loan Document against such party or against any other Person.

(e) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other documents and information it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the assigning Lender, any Agent or any Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agents to take such action as agents on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Agents by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental hereto and thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender. (f) (i) The Administrative Agent shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain, or cause to be maintained at the Payment Office, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of, and the principal amount of the Loans (and stated interest thereon) and LC Exposure owing to each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. (ii) [reserved]. (iii) This Section 12.07 shall be construed so that all Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. (g) Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of a completed Assignment and Acceptance, and subject to any consent required from the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.07(b) (which consent of the Administrative Agent must be evidenced by the Administrative Agent’s execution of an acceptance to such Assignment and Acceptance), the Administrative Agent shall accept such assignment, record the information contained therein in the Register (as adjusted to reflect any principal payments on or amounts capitalized and added to the principal balance of the Loans and/or Commitment reductions made subsequent to the effective date of the applicable assignment, as confirmed in writing by the corresponding assignor and assignee in conjunction with delivery of the assignment to the

151 Administrative Agent) and provide to the Collateral Agent a copy of the fully executed Assignment and Acceptance. (h) A Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or sale of all or part of such Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register, together with the surrender of the registered note, if any, evidencing the same duly endorsed by (or accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or sale duly executed by) the holder of such registered note, whereupon, at the request of the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s), one or more new registered notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s). Prior to the registration of assignment or sale of any Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same), the Agents shall treat the Person in whose name such Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) is registered on the Register as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. (i) In the event that any Lender (or an Affiliate or Related Fund) sells participations in a Loan, such Lender shall, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of the Borrower, maintain, or cause to be maintained, a register, on which it enters the name of all participants in the Loans held by it (or such Affiliate or Related Fund) and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of the Loan that is the subject of the participation (the “Participant Register”). A Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide). Any participation of such Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register. The Participant Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This Section 12.07 shall be construed so that all Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. (j) Any assignee or other Transferee who purchases or is assigned or participates in any portion of a Loan, whether as an assignee, an Affiliate, a Related Fund or a participant, shall comply with Section 2.09(d) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.09(d) shall, to the extent permissible, be delivered to the Lender if such Person is an Affiliate, a Related Fund or a participant, except the Lender shall, to the extent subject to Requirements of Law, provide any such documentation that it receives to the Administrative Agent and Borrower pursuant to Section 2.09(d)) promptly after reasonable request therefor. (k) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans made by it and its Pro Rata Share of the LC Exposure); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including its Commitments hereunder) and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and (iii) a participant shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except (A) action directly

152 effecting an extension of the maturity dates or decrease in the principal amount of the Loans and LC Exposure, (B) action directly effecting an extension of the due dates or a decrease in the rate of interest payable on the Loans or the fees payable under this Agreement, or (C) actions directly effecting a release of all or a substantial portion of the Collateral or any Loan Party (except as set forth in Section 10.08 of this Agreement or any other Loan Document). The Loan Parties agree that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.09 and Section 2.10 of this Agreement (subject to the obligations and limitations therein and the obligations and limitations in Section 2.12) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.09(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender, except the Lender shall, to the extent permissible, subject to Requirements of Law, provide any such documentation that it receives to the Administrative Agent and Borrower pursuant to Section 2.09(d) promptly after reasonable request therefor) with respect to its participation in any portion of the Commitments and the Loans as if it was a Lender; provided that such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.09 (Taxes) or Section 2.10 (Increased Costs and Reduced Return), with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation. (l) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank or loans made to such Lender pursuant to securitization or similar credit facility (a “Securitization”); provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. The Loan Parties shall cooperate with such Lender and its Affiliates to effect the Securitization, including by providing such information as may be reasonably requested by such Lender in connection with the rating of its Loans or the Securitization. (m) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may, at any time and from time to time, make open market purchases (including on a non-pro rata basis) of Term Loans (each, an “Open Market Purchase”), so long as the following conditions are satisfied: (i) immediately and automatically, without any further action on the part of the Borrower, any Lender, any Agent or any other Person, upon the effectiveness of such assignment of Loans from a Lender to the Borrower, such Loans and all rights and obligations as a Lender related thereto shall, for all purposes under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and otherwise, be deemed to be irrevocably prepaid, terminated, extinguished, cancelled and of no further force and effect and the Borrower shall neither obtain nor have any rights as a Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by virtue of such assignment; (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing before or immediately after giving effect to such assignment; (iii) With respect to all purchases of Term Loans made pursuant to this clause (m), (x) the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary shall pay on the settlement date of each such purchase all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the purchased Term Loans up to the settlement date of such purchase (except to the extent otherwise set forth in the relevant purchase documents as agreed by the respective selling Lender) and (y) such purchases (and the payments made therefor and the cancellation of the purchased Term Loans, in each case in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments. At the time of purchases of Term Loans pursuant to any Open Market Purchase, the then remaining scheduled amortization payments shall be reduced by the aggregate principal amount (taking the face amount thereof) of Term Loans repurchased pursuant to such Open Market Purchase, with

153 such reduction to be applied to such scheduled payments on a pro rata basis (based on the then remaining principal amount of each such scheduled payments); and (iv) no proceeds of the Revolving Loans may be used to purchase Term Loans. Section 12.08 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telecopier or electronic mail shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telecopier or electronic mail also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis. Section 12.09 GOVERNING LAW.

TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY PARTY HERETO HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR

Section 12.12 [Reserved.] Section 12.13 Reinstatement; Certain Payments. If any claim is ever made upon any Secured Party for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by such Secured Party in payment or on account of any of the Obligations, such Secured Party shall give prompt notice of such claim to each other Agent and Lender and the Borrower, and if such Secured Party repays all or part of such amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such Secured Party or any of its property, or (ii) any good faith settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such Secured Party with any such claimant, then and in such event each Loan Party agrees that (A) any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon it notwithstanding the cancellation of any Indebtedness hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or the termination of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and (B) it shall be and remain liable to such Secured Party hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by such Secured Party. Section 12.14 Indemnification; Limitation of Liability for Certain Damages. (a) In addition to each Loan Party’s other Obligations under this Agreement, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Secured Party and all of their respective Affiliates, successors and permitted assigns and their officers, directors, employees, advisors, and agents and members of each of the foregoing (collectively called the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses of one primary outside counsel and one firm of local counsel to the Indemnitees (taken as a whole) in each relevant material jurisdiction (which may include a single counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict in writing and thereafter retains its own counsel, another firm of counsel to each group of affected Indemnitees similarly situated taken as a whole)) incurred by such Indemnitees, whether prior to or from and after the Closing Date, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or relating to or in connection with any of the following: (i) the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, as well as the negotiation, preparation, execution or

155 performance or enforcement of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or of any other document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) any Agent’s or any Lender’s furnishing of funds to the Borrower or the Issuing Bank’s issuing of Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including the management of any such Loans or the LC Exposure or the Borrower’s use of the proceeds thereof, (iii) the Agents and the Lenders relying on any instructions of the Borrower or the handling of the Loan Account and Collateral of the Borrower as herein provided, (iv) any matter relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or by any document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (v) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether brought by a third party or by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Loan Parties shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee under this subsection (a) for any Indemnified Matter (x) caused by the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (y) arising from any proceeding, claim or counterclaim that does not involve or arise from an act or omission by the Borrower or Guarantors or any of their respective Affiliates and is brought by any Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (other than any proceeding, claim or counterclaim against any Arranger, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in their respective capacity as such). This Section 12.14 shall not apply to Taxes (other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc., arising from any non-Tax claim). (b) The indemnification for all of the foregoing losses, damages, fees, costs and expenses of the Indemnitees set forth in this Section 12.14 are chargeable against the Loan Account. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 12.14 may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, each Loan Party shall, jointly and severally, contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees. (c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 12.14 or otherwise in any Loan Document, in no event shall (i) any Indemnitee or (ii) the Borrower and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof, whether or not known or unknown, except any indemnity or reimbursement obligations hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses incurred or paid by a Indemnitee to a third party. (d) The indemnities and waivers set forth in this Section 12.14 shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and discharge of any Liens granted under the Loan Documents. Section 12.15 Records. The unpaid principal of and interest on the Loans, the interest rate or rates applicable to such unpaid principal and interest, the duration of such applicability, the Commitments, and the accrued and unpaid fees payable pursuant to Section 2.06 hereof, including the fees set forth in the Fee Letter, shall at all times be ascertained from the records of the Agents, which shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. Section 12.16 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each Loan Party, each Agent and each Lender and when the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.01 hereof have been satisfied or waived in writing by the Agents, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Loan Party, each Agent and each Lender, and their respective

156 successors and assigns, except that the Loan Parties shall not have the right to assign their rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of each Agent and each Lender, and any assignment by any Lender shall be governed by Section 12.07 hereof. Section 12.17 Highest Lawful Rate. It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Agent and each Lender shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document would be usurious as to any Agent or any Lender under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of New York or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Agent or such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the Obligations, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to any Agent or any Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Obligations shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be credited by such Agent or such Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, to the Borrower); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the Obligations is accelerated by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to any Agent or any Lender may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall, subject to the last sentence of this Section 12.17, be canceled automatically by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Agent or such Lender to the Borrower). All sums paid or agreed to be paid to any Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law applicable to such Agent or such Lender, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Loans until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of any Loans hereunder does not exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law. If at any time and from time to time (x) the amount of interest payable to any Agent or any Lender on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such Lender pursuant to this Section 12.17 and (y) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Agent or such Lender would be less than the amount of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such Lender, then the amount of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such Lender until the total amount of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to such Agent or such Lender if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to this Section 12.17. For purposes of this Section 12.17, the term “applicable law” shall mean that law in effect from time to time and applicable to the loan transaction between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Agents and the Lenders, on the other, that lawfully permits the charging and collection of the highest permissible, lawful non-usurious rate of interest on such loan transaction and this Agreement, including laws of the State of New York and, to the extent controlling, laws of the United States of America. The right to accelerate the maturity of the Obligations does not include the right to accelerate any interest that has not accrued as of the date of acceleration.

157 Section 12.18 Confidentiality. Each Agent and each Lender agrees (on behalf of itself and each of its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and representatives) to use reasonable precautions to keep confidential, in accordance with its customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound practices of comparable commercial finance companies, any non-public information (which shall not include information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry) supplied to it by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents which is identified in writing by the Loan Parties as being confidential at the time the same is delivered to such Person (and which at the time is not, and does not thereafter become, publicly available or available to such Person from another source not known to be subject to a confidentiality obligation to such Person not to disclose such information); provided that nothing herein shall limit the disclosure by any Agent or any Lender of any such information (i) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective equityholders (including partners), directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, counsel, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential in accordance with this Section 12.18); (ii) to any other party hereto; (iii) to any assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant) or any party to a Securitization, or to any credit insurers and reinsurers, so long as such assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant), party to a Securitization or credit insurers and reinsurers first agrees, in writing, to be bound by confidentiality provisions similar in substance to this Section 12.18; (iv) to the extent required by any Requirement of Law or judicial process or as otherwise requested by any Governmental Authority; (v) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, any examiner, auditor or accountant or any nationally recognized rating agency or otherwise to the extent consisting of general portfolio information that does not identify Loan Parties; (vi) in connection with any litigation to which any Agent or any Lender is a party; (vii) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; or (viii) with the consent of the Borrower. Section 12.19 Public Disclosure. Each Loan Party hereby authorizes each Agent and each Lender, after review and approval by the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, conditioned or denied), to advertise the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and to make appropriate announcements of the financial arrangements entered into among the parties hereto, as such Agent or such Lender shall deem appropriate, including on a home page or similar place for dissemination of information on the Internet or worldwide web, or in announcements commonly known as tombstones, in such trade publications, business journals, newspapers of general circulation and to such selected parties as such Agent or such Lender shall deem appropriate. Section 12.20 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof. Section 12.21 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the entities composing the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each such entity and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the entities composing the Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act. Each Loan Party agrees to take such action and execute, acknowledge and deliver at its sole cost and expense, such instruments and documents as any Lender may reasonably require from time to time in order to enable such Lender to comply with the USA PATRIOT Act.

158 Section 12.22 Keepwell. Each Loan Party, if it is a Qualified ECP Loan Party, then jointly and severally, together with each other Qualified ECP Loan Party, hereby absolutely unconditionally and irrevocably (a) guarantees the prompt payment and performance of all Swap Obligations owing by each Non-Qualifying Party (it being understood and agreed that this guarantee is a guaranty of payment and not of collection), and (b) undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by any Non-Qualifying Party to honor all of such Non-Qualifying Party’s obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Loan Party shall only be liable under this Section 12.22 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 12.22, or otherwise under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, voidable under applicable law, including applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Loan Party under this Section 12.22 shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Qualified ECP Loan Party intends that this Section 12.22 constitute, and this Section 12.22 shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Borrower and Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1(a)(18)(A)(v)(II) of the CEA. Section 12.23 Currency Indemnity. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court in any jurisdiction with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document it becomes necessary to convert into the currency of such jurisdiction (the “Judgment Currency”) any amount due under this Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents in any currency other than the Judgment Currency (the “Currency Due”), then conversion shall be made at the Exchange Rate at which the Administrative Agent is able, on the relevant date, to purchase the Currency Due with the Judgment Currency prevailing on the Business Day before the day on which judgment is given. In the event that there is a change in the rate of Exchange Rate prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given and the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent of the amount due, the Borrower will, on the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent, pay such additional amounts, if any, or be entitled to receive reimbursement of such amount, if any, as may be necessary to ensure that the amount received by the Administrative Agent on such date is the amount in the Judgment Currency which when converted at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent is the amount then due under this Agreement or such other Loan Document in the Currency Due. If the amount of the Currency Due which the Administrative Agent is able to purchase is less than the amount of the Currency Due originally due to it, the Borrower shall indemnify and save the Administrative Agent harmless from and against loss or damage arising as a result of such deficiency. Section 12.24 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the parties hereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

159 (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority. Section 12.25 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Obligations or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
