(B) if the All-In-Yield relating to such Incremental Term Loans that are secured on a pari passu basis and having equal payment priority with the Tranche 1 Loans exceeds the All-In-Yield relating to the Tranche 1 Loans in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Incremental Term Loan Amendment by more than 1.00%, the All-In-Yield relating to the Tranche 1 Loans shall be adjusted to be equal to the All-In-Yield relating to the Incremental Term Loans minus 1.00%, (C) if the All-In-Yield relating to such Incremental Term Loans that are secured on a pari passu basis and having equal payment priority with the Tranche 2 Loans exceeds the All-In-Yield relating to the Tranche 2 Loans in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Incremental Term Loan Amendment by more than 2.00%, the All-In-Yield relating to such Tranche 2 Loans shall be adjusted to be equal to the All-In-Yield relating to such Incremental Term Loans minus 2.00% and (D) the weighted average-life-to-maturity for such Series of Incremental Term Loans shall not be shorter than the weighted average-life-to-maturity for the Tranche 1 Loans, the Tranche 2 Loans and the Revolving Credit Commitments, and (ii) share in any mandatory prepayment (other than scheduled amortization payments) of Loans hereunder on a pro rata basis as provided in Section 2.10(b); provided that GEO and the applicable Incremental Lenders shall be permitted, in their sole discretion, to elect to prepay or receive, as applicable, any such prepayments on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis);

(5) the Incremental Term Loans of any Series shall be subject to such conditions to effectiveness and initial credit extension as shall be agreed upon by the applicable Incremental Lenders, GEO and the Administrative Agent (which agreement by the Administrative Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided that GEO shall be in compliance with Section 5.11(c) as of such date; provided, further, that GEO and the applicable Incremental Lenders shall be permitted to modify or waive (without the need for consent or approval from any other Lender or the Administrative Agent) any or all of the conditions to the initial Borrowing of the applicable Incremental Term Loans (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, any requirements hereunder with respect to any Incremental Term Loan Commitment itself) set forth in this Agreement, including Section 4.02 (other than with respect to (x) the absence of any Event of Default under any of Sections 7.01(a), (b), (h), (i) or (j), (y) the accuracy of customary “specified representations” or (z) the immediately preceding proviso), in any transaction where the net cash proceeds of such Incremental Term Loan will be used to fund a Permitted Acquisition or other acquisition permitted under this Agreement; and

(6) Incremental Term Loans incurred pursuant to the Incremental Fixed Amount shall be used only to prepay or repay outstanding Tranche 3 Loans and outstanding loans under the Existing Credit Agreement, and Incremental Term Loans incurred pursuant to the Incremental Ratio Amount shall be used only to repurchase, repay or redeem outstanding 2023 Senior Notes and 2024 Senior Notes.

Following the acceptance by GEO of the offers made by any one or more Lenders to make any Series of Incremental Term Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.01(e), each such Incremental Lender in respect of such Series of Incremental Term Loans severally agrees, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make such Incremental Term Loans to GEO on a Business Day (an “Incremental Term Loan Funding Date”) during the period from and including the date of such acceptance to and including the commitment termination date specified

53

in the agreement entered into with respect to such Series (such agreement, an “Incremental Term Loan Amendment”) in an aggregate principal amount up to but not exceeding the amount of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such Incremental Lender in respect of such Series as in effect from time to time. Amounts prepaid or repaid in respect of Incremental Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.02, the Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan Commitments and the applicable Loan Parties may effect amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents of a technical or administrative nature (without any further consent of any other party to such Loan Document) as may be necessary, appropriate or desirable, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and GEO, in order to establish and implement any Incremental Term Loans or Commitments in respect thereof pursuant to, and in accordance with, this Section 2.01(e).

(f) Incremental Equivalent Debt. The Borrowers may, upon the delivery to the Administrative Agent of notice thereof specifying in reasonable detail the proposed terms thereof not less than ten days, and not more than sixty days, prior to the proposed effective date thereof (the “Incremental Equivalent Debt Effective Date”), issue or incur, in lieu of Incremental Term Loans, Indebtedness consisting of one or more series of senior secured first lien notes, junior lien notes, junior lien loans, subordinated notes or senior unsecured notes or unsecured loans, in each case, issued in a public offering, Rule 144A or other private placement transactions, or secured or unsecured mezzanine Indebtedness or debt securities (such Indebtedness, collectively, “Incremental Equivalent Debt”), in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the sum of (i) the Incremental Fixed Amount plus (ii) so long as the First Lien Leverage Ratio after giving effect to the incurrence of such Incremental Equivalent Debt (and the use of proceeds therefrom) on a Pro Forma Basis does not exceed 1.75:1.00, the Incremental Ratio Amount.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding:

(1) such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall not at any time be incurred by any Person other than a Borrower or guaranteed by any Person other than a Loan Party, and, if secured, such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall not be secured by property other than the Collateral, and a representative acting on behalf of the lenders or investors providing such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall have entered into an Intercreditor Agreement and a subordination agreement (if applicable), in each case reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders;

(2) Section 2.01(e)(1), (4), (5) and (6) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to such Incremental Equivalent Debt; and

(3) except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, (x) the pricing (including interest, fees and premiums), optional prepayment and redemption terms with respect such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall be determined by the Borrowers and the lenders or investors providing such Incremental Equivalent Debt, and (y) the other terms of such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall be, when taken as a whole, no more favorable (as reasonably determined by the Required Lenders) to the lenders or investors providing

54

such Incremental Equivalent Debt than those applicable to the Term Loans (except to the extent (A) such terms are added in the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Term Lenders pursuant to an amendment hereto or thereto subject solely to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders or (B) applicable solely to periods after the latest Maturity Date existing at the time of such incurrence).

Section 2.02 Loans and Borrowings.

(a) Obligations of Lenders. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

(b) Type of Loans. Subject to Section 2.12, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or of SOFR Loans as GEO may request in accordance herewith. Each Loan shall be denominated in Dollars. Each Lender at its option may make any Loan or provide any other extension of credit or fund any other obligation hereunder 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 Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Minimum Amounts; Limitation on Number of Borrowings. Each SOFR Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $2,500,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000. Each ABR Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000; provided that an ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments of the applicable Class or (in the case of a Revolving Credit ABR Borrowing) that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(f). Borrowings of more than one Class and Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of ten SOFR Borrowings outstanding.

(d) Limitations on Interest Periods. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Borrower shall be entitled to request (or to elect to convert to or continue as a SOFR Borrowing):

(i) any Revolving Credit Borrowing if the Interest Period requested therefor would end after the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date;

(ii) any Term Borrowing if the Interest Period requested therefor would end after the applicable Term Loan Maturity Date;

(iii) any Term Borrowing of any Class, if the Interest Period requested therefor would commence before and end after any Principal Payment Date unless, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans of such Class having Interest Periods that end after such Principal Payment Date shall be equal to or less than the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans of such Class permitted to be outstanding after giving effect to the payments of principal required to be made on such Principal Payment Date; and

55

(iv) any Borrowing of a Series of Incremental Term Loans if the Interest Period requested therefor would commence before and end after (x) the final maturity date for such Series or (y) any date specified for the amortization of such Series unless, in the case of this clause (y), after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Term Loans of such Series having Interest Periods that end after such date shall be equal to or less than the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Term Loans of such Series permitted to be outstanding after giving effect to the payments of principal required to be made on such date.

Section 2.03 Requests for Borrowings.

(a) Notices. To request a Borrowing, GEO shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request (i) in the case of a SOFR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, or (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than noon, New York City time, one (1) Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that any such notice of a Revolving Credit ABR Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(f) may be given not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, one (1) Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be signed by GEO.

(b) Content of Borrowing Requests. Each Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) whether the requested Borrowing is to be a Revolving Credit Borrowing, a Term Borrowing (and the specific Class) or Incremental Borrowing;

(ii) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

(iii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(iv) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing;

(v) in the case of a SOFR Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period” and permitted under Section 2.02(d); and

(d) Failure to Elect. If no election as to the Type of a Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested SOFR Borrowing, GEO shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

56

Section 2.04 [Reserved].

Section 2.05 Letters of Credit.

(a) General.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, in addition to the Loans provided for in Section 2.01, GEO may request any Issuing Lender to issue, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Credit Availability Period, Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers in such form as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender in its reasonable determination, which Letters of Credit may be denominated in Dollars or, with the applicable Issuing Lender’s consent (in its sole discretion) in any Agreed Foreign Currency. Letters of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder shall constitute utilization of the Revolving Credit Commitments.

(ii) Subject to the requirements and conditions set forth in the definition of “Rollover Letters of Credit” in Section 1.01, following written notice from GEO to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall have been acknowledged and accepted by the relevant Issuing Lender), each Rollover Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto on the date the relevant Permitted Acquisition shall have been consummated, and as of and from such date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

(iii) On the Effective Date, and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, the Existing Letters of Credit shall be rolled over and shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit that have been issued pursuant to this Section 2.05, and accordingly, the Existing Letters of Credit shall be entitled to receive all of the benefits of, and be bound by, the terms contained herein and in the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Existing Letter of Credit may be renewed or extended.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal or Extension; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

(i) To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), GEO shall deliver to an Issuing Lender (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.05(d)), 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, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. Such notice may be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by electronic transmission using the system provided by the applicable Issuing Lender. Such notice shall be given to the Issuing Lender and all

57

Revolving Credit Lenders (i) in the case of a Letter of Credit to be denominated in Dollars, not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed issuance, amendment, renewal or extension and (ii) in the case of a Letter of Credit to be denominated in a Foreign Currency, not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days (or four Business Days if longer notice is determined by the applicable Issuing Lender to be required) before the date of the proposed issuance, amendment, renewal or extension. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02, the Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, issue, amend, renew or extend the requested Letter of Credit only in accordance with the Issuing Lender’s standard operating procedures. The Issuing Lender shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the issuance of any Letter of Credit and upon request by any such Lender, furnish to such Lender a copy of such Letter of Credit and the amount of such Lender’s participation therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Existing Letter of Credit may be renewed or extended.

(ii) If GEO or the Borrowers so request in any applicable application for a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Issuing Lender to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Issuing Lender to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date; provided, however, that the Issuing Lender shall not permit any such extension if (A) the Issuing Lender has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (iii) of Section 2.05(c) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or any Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the Issuing Lender not to permit such extension.

(iii) [Reserved].

(iv) If requested by the applicable Issuing Lender, the Borrowers shall also submit a Letter of Credit application on such Issuing Lender’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit.

(v) In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Letter of Credit Documents, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

58

(c) Limitations.

(i) A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (A) the aggregate LC Exposure shall not exceed $175,000,000, (B) the total Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the total Revolving Credit Commitments, and (C) any Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall be deemed to represent and warrant as to the foregoing).

(ii) [Reserved].

(iii) Any Issuing Lender shall not be under any obligation to issue or extend or renew any Letter of Credit if any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which such Issuing Lender in good faith deems material to it.

(d) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date; provided, that such date may be later than the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date if and so long as such Letter of Credit is cash collateralized no later than such fifth prior Business Day in accordance with Section 2.05(k). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, each Existing Letter of Credit shall automatically expire at or prior to the close of business on the applicable expiration date set forth therein.

(e) Participations.

(i) By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) by any Issuing Lender, and without any further action on the part of such Issuing Lender or the Lenders, such Issuing Lender hereby grants to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each Revolving Credit Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Lender, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this Section 2.05(e)(i) in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments.

59

(ii) In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Issuing Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of each LC Disbursement made by an Issuing Lender promptly upon the request of such Issuing Lender at any time from the time of such LC Disbursement until such LC Disbursement is reimbursed by the Borrowers or at any time after any reimbursement payment is required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. Such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each such payment shall be made in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Credit Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the respective Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.05(f), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the respective Issuing Lender or, to the extent that the Revolving Credit Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Lender, then to such Revolving Credit Lenders and such Issuing Lender as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Lender for any LC Disbursement shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall reimburse such Issuing Lender in respect of such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such LC Disbursement not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that any Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that any Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time; provided that, if the Dollar Equivalent of such LC Disbursement is not less than $1,000,000, the Borrowers may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with a Revolving Credit ABR Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Credit ABR Borrowing. If the Borrowers fail to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent thereof.

(g) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligations to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.05(f) 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, 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 in such draft

60

or other document being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the respective Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply strictly 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 Section 2.05(g), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder.

Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Lender, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit by the respective Issuing Lender 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) or any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrowers, to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by such Issuing Lender’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts 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 Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination, and that:

(i) any Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and may make payment upon presentation of documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(ii) any Issuing Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to accept such documents and to decline to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and

(iii) this sentence shall establish the standard of care to be exercised by each Issuing Lender when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof (and the parties hereto hereby waive, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any standard of care inconsistent with the foregoing).

(h) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Lender for any Letter of Credit shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Lender shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and GEO in writing of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Lender 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 Borrowers of their respective obligations to reimburse such Issuing Lender and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

61

(i) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Lender for any Letter of Credit shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full 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 Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum equal to the rate per annum then applicable to Revolving Credit ABR Loans; provided that, if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such applicable LC Disbursement when due pursuant to Section 2.05(f), then Section 2.12(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this Section 2.05(i) shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(f) to reimburse such Issuing Lender shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(j) Replacement of an Issuing Lender. Any Issuing Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement between GEO, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Lender and the successor Issuing Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the applicable Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to include, as applicable, such successor or any previous Issuing Lender, or such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender 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.

(k) Cash Collateralization. If (i) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that GEO receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Credit Lenders with LC Exposure representing more than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral, (ii) the Borrowers shall be required to provide cover for LC Exposure pursuant to Section 2.10(c), or (iii) GEO shall elect to extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.05(d), the Borrowers shall immediately deposit into a cash collateral account established at a banking institution selected by the Administrative Agent (the “Collateral Account”), which account may be a “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York), in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 103% of the Dollar Equivalent of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon and, in the case of cover pursuant to Section 2.10(c), the amount required under Section 2.10(c); 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 any Borrower described in Sections 7.01(h) or (i). Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement in respect of the Lenders’ LC Exposure and the other amounts contemplated by this paragraph.

62

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 Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in the Collateral Account. Moneys in the Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Lender for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of all Lenders with LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default, (ii) pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(ii) or (iii) pursuant to Section 2.05(d), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to GEO within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived (in the case of clause (i) of this sentence), as provided in said Section 2.10(c)(ii) (in the case of clause (ii) of this sentence) or after the termination of the applicable Letter of Credit (in the case of clause (iii) of this sentence).

Section 2.06 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Funding by Lenders. 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 purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall make such Loans available to GEO (in the case of Term Loans) or the Borrowers (in the case of Revolving Credit Loans) by promptly wiring the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of GEO (in the case of Term Loans) or the Borrowers (in the case of Revolving Credit Loans) designated by GEO in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that Revolving Credit ABR Borrowings made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(f) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the respective Issuing Lender.

(b) Presumption by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.06(a) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available a corresponding amount to GEO (in the case of any Term Borrowing), or the Borrowers (in the case of any Revolving Credit Borrowing). In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and GEO (in the case of any Term Borrowing), the Borrowers (in the case of any Revolving Credit Borrowing) 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 GEO or any Borrower, as applicable, to but excluding the date of payment to

63

the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, 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 GEO (in the case of any such interest in respect of a Term Borrowing), or the Borrowers (in the case of any such interest in respect of a Revolving Credit Borrowing) the amount of such interest paid by GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, shall be without prejudice to any claim GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.07 Interest Elections.

(a) Elections by GEO for Borrowings. The Loans comprising each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a SOFR Borrowing, shall have the Interest Period specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, GEO may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing as a Borrowing of the same Type and, in the case of a SOFR Borrowing, may elect the Interest Period therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.07. GEO 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.

(b) Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.07, GEO shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if GEO were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be in writing in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by GEO.

(c) Content of Interest Election Requests. Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the 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 (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing; and

64

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a SOFR Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period” and permitted under Section 2.02(d).

(d) Notice by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. 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.

(e) Failure to Elect; Events of Default. If GEO fails to deliver a timely and complete Interest Election Request with respect to a SOFR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such SOFR Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, GEO shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders so notifies GEO, then, so long as such 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 automatically be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period therefor.

Section 2.08 Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Scheduled Termination. Unless previously terminated, (i) the Term Loan Commitments shall terminate in full at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Effective Date, (ii) the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate in full on the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, and (iii) the Incremental Term Loan Commitments of any Series shall terminate in full on the close of business on the commitment termination date specified in the agreement establishing such Series pursuant to Section 2.01(e).

(b) Voluntary Termination or Reduction. GEO may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each partial reduction of the Commitments of any Class pursuant to this Section 2.08(b) shall be in an amount that is $3,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 and (ii) GEO shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Revolving Credit Commitments.

(c) Notice of Voluntary Termination or Reduction. GEO shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments of any Class under Section 2.08(b) at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by GEO pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments of any Class delivered by GEO may state that such notice is conditioned upon the receipt of funds under other credit facilities, the effectiveness of other credit facilities or pursuant to an Equity Issuance, in which case such notice may be revoked by GEO (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

65

(d) Effect of Termination or Reduction. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

(i) the Tranche 1 Loans, to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Tranche 1 Lenders, (x) commencing with the Principal Payment Date occurring on December 31, 2022, on each Principal Payment Date prior to the Tranche 1 Loan Maturity Date, in each case in an amount equal to 1.25% of the original principal amount of the Term Loans made on the Effective Date (as such payments may be reduced from time to time as a result of the application of (1) any prepayment in accordance with Section 2.09(c) or (2) any deemed cancellation pursuant to the penultimate paragraph of Section 9.04(b)), and (y) on the Tranche 1 Loan Maturity Date, in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche 1 Loans outstanding on the Tranche 1 Loan Maturity Date;

The Borrowers hereby unconditionally promise to repay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders, an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date.

66

(c) Adjustment of Amortization Schedule. Any prepayment of a Term Borrowing of any Class, shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the applicable Term Borrowings to be made pursuant to this Section 2.09 (i) in the case of any optional prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(a), as directed by GEO and (ii) in the case of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans pursuant in Section 2.10(b), in direct order of maturity.

(d) Manner of Payment. Prior to any repayment or prepayment of any Borrowings of any Class hereunder, and subject (in the case of a prepayment) to any applicable provisions of Section 2.10, GEO shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings of the applicable Class to be paid and shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such selection not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment; provided that each repayment of Borrowings of any Class shall be applied to repay any outstanding ABR Borrowings of such Class before any other Borrowings of such Class. If GEO fails to make a timely selection of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid or prepaid, such payment shall be applied, first, to pay any outstanding ABR Borrowings of the applicable Class and, second, to other Borrowings of such Class in the order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest Periods (the Borrowing with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be repaid first). Each payment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in such Borrowing.

(e) Maintenance of Records by Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice records evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

The Administrative Agent shall maintain records in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and each Interest Period therefor, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers 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.

(g) Effect of Entries. The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to Sections 2.09(e) or (f) shall be prima facie evidence, absent manifest error, of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(h) Promissory Notes. Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a Note. In such event, GEO (in the case of any Term Loan Note) or the Borrowers (in the case of any Revolving Credit Loan Note), as applicable, shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a Note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns).

67

Section 2.10 Prepayment of Loans.

(a) Optional Prepayments. GEO or Corrections, as applicable, shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section and, if applicable, Section 2.22. In the event that all or any portion of the Tranche 1 Loans are prepaid (including by conversion, extension or amendment with similar effect) pursuant to this Section 2.10(a), GEO shall pay in cash to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the Tranche 1 Lenders, a Prepayment Premium pursuant to Section 2.10(d). Each prepayment of Tranche 2 Loans, Tranche 3 Loans or Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) shall be without Prepayment Premium.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments. GEO or Corrections, as applicable, will prepay the Loans as follows:

(i) Casualty Events. Upon the date 270 days following the receipt by GEO or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of the proceeds of insurance, condemnation award or other compensation in respect of any Casualty Event after the Effective Date affecting any property of GEO or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or upon such earlier date as GEO or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall have determined not to repair or replace the property affected by such Casualty Event), so long as the aggregate amount of Net Available Proceeds of such Casualty Event exceeds $5,000,000, GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount, if any, equal to 100% of the Net Available Proceeds of such Casualty Event not theretofore applied or committed to be applied (and if committed to be applied, not actually applied within 450 days following the receipt of such proceeds) to the repair or replacement of such property, such prepayment and/or reduction to be effected in each case in the manner and to the extent specified in Section 2.10(b)(v)(A) if the Casualty Event provides for Net Available Proceeds affecting any property that is Common Collateral or that is not Collateral, and Section 2.10(b)(v)(B) if the Casualty Event provides for Net Available Proceeds affecting any property that is Exclusive Collateral. Nothing in this clause (i) shall be deemed to limit any obligation of GEO or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to any of the Security Documents to remit to a collateral or similar account maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any of the Security Documents the proceeds of insurance, condemnation award or other compensation received in respect of any Casualty Event.

(ii) Sale of Assets. Promptly upon the consummation of a Disposition (and in any event within four (4) Business Days thereof), GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, will prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Proceeds of such Disposition, such prepayment and/or reduction to be effected in each case in the manner and to the extent specified in Section 2.10(b)(v)(A) if the Disposition provides for Net Available Proceeds in respect of any property that that is Common Collateral or that is not Collateral, and Section 2.10(b)(v)(B) if the Disposition provides for Net Available Proceeds in respect of any property that that is Exclusive Collateral; provided, however, that no proceeds of any Disposition shall constitute Net Available Proceeds under this clause (ii) unless the aggregate amount of the Net Available Proceeds of such Disposition exceed $5,000,000 (and thereafter only Net Available Proceeds in excess of such amount shall constitute Net Available Proceeds under this clause (ii)); provided, however, that proceeds of any Disposition shall constitute Net Available Proceeds under this clause (ii) to the extent the aggregate amount of all such proceeds exceeds (x) in any fiscal year, $15,000,000 or (y) during the term of this Agreement, $50,000,000 (and thereafter only Net Available Proceeds in excess of such

68

amount(s) shall constitute Net Available Proceeds under this clause (ii)). Prior to or substantially concurrently with the consummation of any Disposition, GEO shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (for further distribution to the Lenders) a statement, certified by a Financial Officer of GEO, in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, of the amount of the Net Available Proceeds of such Disposition (except that such statement shall not be required for any Disposition the Net Available Proceeds of which are less than or equal to $5,000,000); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, such certified statement may be supplemented or modified in writing by such Financial Officer solely as to such amount of Net Available Proceeds if and to the extent (and during such time as) a corresponding supplement or modification shall be delivered by such Financial Officer pursuant to clause (II) of the final proviso to the definition of “Net Available Proceeds” set forth in Section 1.01.

(iii) Excess Cash Flow. Commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022), GEO, shall, no later than five (5) Business Days after the date that financial statements for such fiscal quarter are delivered (or required to be delivered) pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or (b), as applicable, prepay the Loans in each case in the manner and to the extent specified in Section 2.10(b)(v)(C), in an aggregate amount equal to (i) 80% of such Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal quarter minus the sum of voluntary prepayments of (x) the Term Loans (in an amount equal to the actual cash amount of such prepayment) and (y) the Revolving Credit Loans, to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction in the corresponding Revolving Credit Commitments, in each case, excluding any repayments of the Loans made with the proceeds of any long-term Indebtedness (other than revolving credit loans).

(iv) Liquidity. Commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022, if, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of GEO, Domestic Unrestricted Cash exceeds $234,000,000, GEO or Corrections, as applicable, shall, no later than five (5) Business Days after the date that financial statements for such quarter are delivered (or required to be delivered) pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or Section 5.01(b), as applicable, prepay the Loans in the manner and to the extent specified in Section 2.10(b)(v)(C), in an aggregate amount equal to (A) such excess minus (B) the aggregate amount of (x) optional prepayments of Loans made by GEO or Corrections and (y) mandatory prepayments of Loans made by GEO or Corrections pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(iii), in each case from the end of such fiscal quarter through and including the day on which the mandatory prepayment required by this Section 2.10(b)(iv) in respect of such fiscal quarter is due; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the amount set forth in the foregoing clause (B) shall not include any amount of mandatory prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i), (ii) or (c) or, except as set forth in the preceding clause (y), Section 2.10(b)(iii).

(v) Application. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, and except as otherwise provided in Section 7.02, prepayments shall be applied as follows:

(A) with respect to prepayments pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i) or Section 2.10(b)(ii) in respect of a Casualty Event affecting, or a Disposition of, any property of GEO or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is Common Collateral or that is not Collateral:

69

first, to prepay the outstanding 2024 Term Loans, ratably between the 2024 Term Loans in accordance with the respective sums at such time of the aggregate amount of such outstanding 2024 Term Loans, until such 2024 Term Loans have been paid in full;

second, to prepay the outstanding Senior Term Loans, ratably between the Senior Term Loans, in accordance with the respective sums at such time of the aggregate amount of such outstanding Senior Term Loans, until such Senior Term Loans have been paid in full;

second, to prepay the outstanding Senior Term Loans, ratably between the Senior Term Loans, in accordance with the respective sums at such time of the aggregate amount of such outstanding Senior Term Loans, until such Senior Term Loans have been paid in full;

(C) with respect to prepayments pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(iii) or Section 2.10(b)(iv):

first, to prepay outstanding 2024 Term Loans, ratably between the 2024 Term Loans in accordance with the respective sums at such time of the aggregate amount of such outstanding Senior Term Loans, until (x) thirty-five percent (35%) of the aggregate amount of the prepayment required by such Section 2.10(b)(iii) or Section 2.10(b)(iv), as applicable, has been applied to prepay the 2024 Term Loans or (y) such 2024 Term Loans have been paid in full;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent by 1 p.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days before a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(iii) or Section 2.10(b)(iv) (or such shorter period as may be approved by the Administrative Agent for all such Lenders), decline all or any portion of the prepayment to which it would otherwise be entitled (provided that, (x) no Tranche 3 Lender may decline any such prepayment, (y) in the event that no Tranche 3 Loans are outstanding, no Tranche 2 Lender may decline any such prepayment, and (z) for the avoidance of doubt, no Lender may decline any such prepayment effected with Refinancing Term Loans), in which case the portion of such prepayment so declined shall be applied as follows: first, to prepay outstanding Tranche 3 Loans; second, to prepay outstanding Tranche 1 Loans (other than the Tranche 1 Loans of any declining Lender); third, to prepay outstanding Tranche 2 Loans; fourth, to pay unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties and to prepay Revolving Credit Loans (with no corresponding permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments); and fifth to be retained by GEO.

71

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent (and only for so long as) the repatriation to the United States of cash that would otherwise constitute Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow that the applicable Borrower must apply to prepay the Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i), (ii) or (iii), as applicable, (x) is prohibited or delayed by applicable local Law or the terms of any Subsidiary’s or joint venture’s organizational documents or (y) would, in GEO’s reasonable good-faith determination, result in material adverse Tax consequences to GEO or its Restricted Subsidiaries, then after the Borrowers’ use of commercially reasonable efforts to eliminate such delay or Tax consequences, the applicable Borrower may exclude the affected portion of such Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, in calculating the amount of such Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow required to be applied to prepay the Loans. The Borrowers’ determinations pursuant to this paragraph shall be set forth in a reasonably detailed certificate of a Financial Officer of GEO delivered to the Administrative Agent prior to the date the prepayment would otherwise be due.

(c) Mandatory Prepayments due to Changes in Exchange Rates.

(i) Determination of Amount Outstanding. On each Quarterly Date prior to the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, on each date that GEO shall request a Revolving Credit Borrowing or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit and, in addition, promptly upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Currency Valuation Notice (as defined below), the Administrative Agent shall determine the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure. For the purpose of this determination, the outstanding face amount of any Letter of Credit that is denominated in any Foreign Currency shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the amount in the Foreign Currency of such Letter of Credit, determined as of such Quarterly Date, date of such proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing, issuance, amendment, renewal or extension or, in the case of a Currency Valuation Notice received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, on such Business Day or, in the case of a Currency Valuation Notice otherwise received, on the first Business Day after such Currency Valuation Notice is received. Upon making such determination, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Revolving Credit Lenders and GEO thereof.

(ii) Prepayment and Cover. If, on the date of such determination (after giving effect to any prior or substantially concurrent deposit made by the Borrowers, at their option, to the Collateral Account) either (x) the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments (such excess, an “RCF Excess”), the Borrowers shall, if requested by the Administrative Agent, within five Business Days following GEO’s receipt of such request:

(A) if any Revolving Credit Loans are outstanding, prepay all such Revolving Credit Loans or such portion thereof as is sufficient to eliminate the RCF Excess, and

(B) if such prepayment is not sufficient to eliminate the RCF Excess, provide cover for the LC Exposure pursuant to Section 2.05(k) in an amount sufficient to eliminate the RCF Excess.

72

(iii) Release of Cover. If, on the date of such determination, the amount of the cover provided by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(ii)(B) and then held by the Administrative Agent exceeds the RCF Excess (such excess, a “Refundable Excess”) on such date (or if such RCF Excess is less than or equal to zero), and no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, if requested by GEO, within three Business Days following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such request, return to the Borrowers the amount of the Refundable Excess (or, if the RCF Excess is less than or equal to zero, the full amount of such cover).

For purposes hereof, “Currency Valuation Notice” means a notice given by the Required Lenders of the Revolving Credit Loans or any Issuing Lender to the Administrative Agent stating that such notice is a “Currency Valuation Notice” and requesting that the Administrative Agent determine the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure.

Any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(ii) shall be applied to Revolving Credit Loans outstanding.

(d) Prepayment Premium. In the event that (i) all or any portion of the Tranche 1 Loans are prepaid (x) pursuant to Section 2.10(a), or (y) without duplication of amounts payable pursuant to clause (ii) below, pursuant to any foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding or otherwise), deed in lieu of foreclosure, sale or other disposition of or realization upon any Collateral or any other satisfaction, release, restructuring, reorganization, defeasance or compromise of any Obligations in any insolvency or other similar proceeding (under Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise), or (ii) automatically upon any acceleration of the Tranche 1 Term Loans (or any portion thereof) pursuant to Section 7.01 (including an automatic acceleration following any event with respect to any Borrower described in Section 7.01(h) or (i)) (each of the events set forth in clauses (i) and (ii), a “Prepayment Premium Trigger Event”), GEO shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the Tranche 1 Lenders, a prepayment premium (each, a “Prepayment Premium”) in the amount of, if such prepayment is made, (i) prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, the Make-Whole Amount (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be deemed earned on the Effective Date and payable upon any optional prepayment), (b) on or after the first anniversary of the Effective Date but prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date, 3.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche 1 Loan that is being so prepaid, (c) on or after the second anniversary of the Effective Date but prior to the third anniversary of the Effective Date, 2.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche 1 Loan that is being so prepaid and (d) on or after the third anniversary of the Effective Date, 0.00%. Such amounts shall be deemed earned on the Effective Date and shall be due and payable on the date of such prepayment.

(e) Notices, Etc. GEO shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any prepayment hereunder not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, five (5) U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid, any other information required to be in such notice pursuant to Section 2.09(d) and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of any Term Loan Commitments, the Incremental Term

73

Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08 or if a notice of prepayment of any Term Loans is conditioned upon the receipt of funds under other credit facilities, the effectiveness of other credit facilities or pursuant to an Equity Issuance, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked by GEO (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the relevant Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing, except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12.

Section 2.11 Fees.

(a) Commitment Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender (to be allocated ratably among such Lenders in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due to such Lenders) a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date such Commitment terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Date and on the date the relevant Commitment terminates, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date. All commitment 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). For purposes of computing commitment fees with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and outstanding LC Exposure of such Lender.

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender (to be allocated ratably among such Lenders in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due to such Lenders) a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate applicable to interest on Revolving Credit SOFR Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) in respect of performance Letters of Credit or other Letters of Credit, as applicable, during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Lender a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon between GEO and such Issuing Lender on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure in respect of any such Letter of Credit, as well as such Issuing Lender’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including each Quarterly Date shall be payable on the third Business Day

74

following such Quarterly Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All such 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).

(c) [Reserved].

(d) [Reserved].

(e) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times set forth in the Administrative Agent Fee Letter.

(f) Payment of Fees. All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the respective Issuing Lender in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees, participation fees and closing fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.12 Interest.

(a) ABR Loans. The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) SOFR Loans. The Loans comprising each SOFR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR for the Interest Period for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) shall have occurred and be continuing:

(i) all interest, fees and other amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder (other than any such amounts solely in respect of any SOFR Borrowing) not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise, shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate applicable to Revolving Credit ABR Loans as provided in Section 2.12(a); and

(ii) all interest, fees and other amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder solely in respect of a SOFR Borrowing not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise, shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus (x) until the end of the then current Interest Period applicable to such SOFR Borrowing, the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in Section 2.12(b), or (y) from and after the end of the then current Interest Period applicable to such SOFR Borrowing, the rate applicable to Revolving Credit ABR Loans as provided in Section 2.12(a).

75

(d) Payment of Interest. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable by the Borrowers in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Credit Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.12(c) shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of a Revolving Credit ABR Loan prior to the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any SOFR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Borrowing shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) Computation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate 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 shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Term SOFR shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate. If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of GEO or for any other reason, GEO, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders determine that (i) the Total Leverage Ratio or the First Lien Leverage Ratio as calculated by GEO as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio or the First Lien Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This Section 2.12(f) shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender, as the case may be, under Section 2.05(i), 2.11(a), 2.11(b) or 2.12(c) or under Article VII. GEO’s or the Borrowers’ respective obligations under this Section 2.12(f) shall not terminate until the payment by GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, of the principal of and interest on the applicable Loans and all other outstanding obligations owing by them under the Loan Documents, the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit and the expiration or termination of the Commitments if at such time no demand shall have been made for payment (and no amount shall have become automatically due) under this Section 2.12(f).

(g) Alternate Rate of Interest. Subject to Section 2.24, if prior to the commencement of the Interest Period for any SOFR Borrowing:

76

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Term SOFR for such Interest Period; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders of the relevant Class that Term SOFR for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their respective Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to GEO and the Lenders by telephone or in writing as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies GEO and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or the continuation of any Borrowing as, a SOFR Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Borrowing (unless prepaid) shall be continued as, or converted to, an ABR Borrowing, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a SOFR Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

(h) Term SOFR Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

Section 2.13 Increased Costs.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. 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 any Issuing Lender;

(ii) subject any Lender or any Issuing Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any SOFR Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or such Issuing Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 2.15 and any Excluded Tax); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Lender any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or SOFR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or any participation in such Loan or Letter of Credit;

77

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any SOFR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Lender of 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 or such Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such Issuing Lender, GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Issuing Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time GEO will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Lender setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 2.13(a) or (b) and delivered to GEO shall be conclusive absent manifest error. GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies GEO of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 2.14 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted

78

to be revocable under Section 2.10(c) and is revoked in accordance herewith), or (d) the assignment as a result of a request by GEO pursuant to Section 2.17(b) of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, then, in any such event, GEO (with respect to any such Term Borrowing) or the Borrowers (with respect to any such Revolving Credit Borrowing), as applicable, shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. A certificate of any Lender setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for determining such amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be delivered to GEO and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.15 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided that if any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) solely to the extent such Taxes constitute Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the relevant Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the relevant Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall make such deductions and (iii) the relevant Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.15(a), the Borrowers shall timely pay (or cause to be paid), or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to GEO by a Lender or an Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

79

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrowers to a Governmental Authority, GEO 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.

(e) Delivery of Tax Forms. To the extent required by law to reduce or eliminate withholding or payment of Taxes, each Payee to the extent of its interest in an Obligation of a U.S. Borrower shall deliver to GEO and the Administrative Agent, on or before the Effective Date, or concurrently with the delivery of the relevant Assignment and Assumption, or at the time or times reasonably requested by GEO or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, two copies of United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Forms W-9, Forms W-8ECI or Forms W-8BEN (or W-8BEN-E), as applicable, (or successor forms) properly completed and executed certifying in each case that such Payee is entitled to a complete exemption from or a reduction of withholding or deduction for or on account of any United States federal income Taxes and backup withholding Taxes. Each such Payee further agrees to deliver to GEO and the Administrative Agent, two IRS Forms W-9, Forms W-8BEN (or W-8BEN-E) or Forms W-8ECI, or successor applicable forms or manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete, after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to GEO and the Administrative Agent, or at the time or times reasonably requested by GEO or the Administrative Agent, certifying that such Payee is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income Taxes and backup withholding Tax or at a reduced rate of withholding (unless in any such case a Change in Law has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders such forms inapplicable or the exemption to which such forms relate unavailable and such Payee notifies GEO and the Administrative Agent that it is not entitled to receive payments without deduction or withholding of United States federal income Taxes). In the case of a Payee that holds an interest in an Obligation of a U.S. Borrower claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, such Payee shall also deliver a certificate to the effect that such Payee is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the U.S. Borrowers within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code. If a payment made to a Payee under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Payee were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Payee shall deliver to GEO and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by GEO or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by GEO or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for either Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Payee has complied with such Payee’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.15(e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Effective Date.

80

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Payee determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to GEO an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent or such Payee, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that, GEO, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Payee, agrees to repay the amount paid over to GEO pursuant to this Section 2.15(f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Payee in the event the Administrative Agent or such Payee is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.15(f), in no event will the Administrative Agent or Payee, as applicable, be required to pay any amount to GEO pursuant to this Section 2.15(f) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or Payee, as applicable, in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or Payee, as applicable, 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 Section 2.15(f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Payee to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to GEO or any other Person.

(g) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the relevant Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting any obligation of any relevant Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) for the full amount of any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or any Participant of such Lender (or, in the case of a Lender that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, any direct or indirect beneficial owner of such Lender) that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set-off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.15(g).

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitment and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Documents.

81

Section 2.16 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.

(a) Payments by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.13, Section 2.14 or Section 2.15, or otherwise), or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein), prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent, except as otherwise expressly provided in the relevant Loan Document and except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Lender as expressly provided herein and payments pursuant to Section 2.13, Section 2.14, Section 2.15 and Section 9.03, which shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder (other than a payment of principal or interest on any Loan or the Prepayment Premium) shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be the next preceding Business Day. All amounts owing hereunder or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided herein or therein) shall be payable in Dollars.

(b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments of a particular Class under Section 2.08 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of such Class of the relevant Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class; (ii) each Borrowing of any Class shall be allocated pro rata among the relevant Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans, their respective Available Revolving Credit Commitments) of such Class (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Loans of such Class that are to be included in such Borrowing (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans by a Borrower shall be made for the account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans of such Class held by them; and (iv) each payment of interest on Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans by a Borrower shall be made for the account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders.

(d) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender

82

receiving such greater proportion shall (A) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (B) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that:

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section 2.16(d) shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by a 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 (y) 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 LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant.

The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrowers rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

(e) Payments by the Borrowers; Presumptions by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from GEO prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or an Issuing Lender hereunder that GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders and each Issuing Lender severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Rate and (y) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(f) Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(e), Section 2.06(b) or Section 2.16(e), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

83

Section 2.17 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall 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 Section 2.13 or Section 2.15 in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If (1) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, (2) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or (3) any Lender does not consent to a proposed amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document requested by GEO which has been approved by the Required Lenders but which requires the consent of such Lender (or such Lender and other Lenders) to become effective, then, in each case GEO may, at its sole expense (and without any obligation on the Administrative Agent or any Lender to cooperate or assist in any way in locating an assignee), upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (x) require such Lender to assign, without recourse (except as provided below in this Section 2.17(b), in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment) or (y) in the case of any Lender that does not consent to a proposed amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document as aforesaid, terminate the Commitments of such Lender and pay to such Lender an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.14), all simultaneously with an amendment and restatement of this Agreement that does not result in the aggregate amount of the commitments of the Lenders to extend credit thereunder to be less than the aggregate amount of the used and unused Commitments hereunder as in effect immediately before giving effect to such amendment and restatement; provided that:

(i) if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, GEO shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender;

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.14) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, (in the case of all other amounts);

84

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.13 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(iv) in the case of any such replacement due to the replaced Lender not consenting to a proposed amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document as aforesaid, each replacement Lender shall consent (and by accepting such assignment shall be deemed to have consented), at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such replaced Lender shall not have consented.

In connection with any such replacement, if the replaced Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Assumption reflecting such replacement prior to or concurrently with the execution and delivery of such Assignment and Assumption by the replacement Lender, the Administrative Agent may (and the replaced Lender hereby unconditionally and irrevocably authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to, in the name of and on behalf of the replaced Lender) execute such Assignment and Assumption and other documentation on behalf of the replaced Lender and, in such event (notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.04), such replaced Lender shall be deemed to have duly executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption and other documentation to the Administrative Agent and the replacement Lender. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling GEO to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 2.18 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply on the date such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender and for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a);

(b) the Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected or directly affected thereby;

(c) if any LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

85

(i) all or any part of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent (A) the sum of all non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments and (B) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment;

(ii) if the reallocation described in Section 2.18(c)(i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, GEO shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, cash collateralize, on a pro rata basis, for the benefit of the Issuing Lenders, the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to Section 2.18(c)(i)) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(k) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if GEO cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, GEO shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all fees payable under Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Lender until and to the extent that such LC Exposure as applicable, is reallocated and/or cash collateralized;

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by GEO in accordance with Section 2.18(c), and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among the applicable non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.18(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein); and

(e) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing

86

by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize on a pro rata basis each Issuing Lender’s LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender; fourth, as GEO may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and GEO, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (i) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (ii) cash collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ future LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Lenders against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (i) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (ii) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in LC Exposures are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.18(c). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.18(e) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, GEO and each Issuing Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender (or if such Defaulting Lender has been replaced pursuant to Section 2.17), then (i) the LC Exposure of the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s (or replacement Lender’s) Revolving Credit Commitment and on such date such Lender (or replacement Lender) shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Credit Loans of the other Revolving Credit Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender (or replacement Lender) to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage and (ii) all cash collateral provided pursuant to Section 2.18(c) with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall be immediately released to the Borrowers.

Section 2.19 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that on or after the date hereof any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, in each case as contemplated by this Agreement, such

87

Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and GEO, and (i) the commitments of such Lender hereunder to make or continue SOFR Loans and to convert ABR Loans to SOFR Loans shall be suspended during the period of such illegality, (ii) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as SOFR Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as may be required by law, and (iii) during the period of such illegality (x) any Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be made or continued as SOFR Loans shall instead be made or continued, as the case may be, as ABR Loans. If any such conversion of a SOFR Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.13.

Section 2.20 GEO as Borrowers’ Representative. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints GEO as its representative and agent on its behalf for purposes of all requests in respect of Loans (including Borrowing Requests and Interest Election Requests), delivering certificates, giving instructions with respect to disbursements of proceeds of Loans, selecting interest rate options, giving and receiving all other notices and consents under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions (on behalf of itself and any other Borrower) hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. GEO hereby irrevocably accepts such appointment. The Administrative Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document from GEO as a notice or communication from all Borrowers. Each representation, warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on behalf of any other Borrower by GEO shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower.

Section 2.21 Joint and Several Obligations.

(a) All Obligations under this Agreement that are stated under this Agreement to be Obligations of both Borrowers, including their Obligations in respect of Revolving Credit Loans and Letters of Credit (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Term Loans and any Incremental Term Loans), shall be joint and several Obligations of each Borrower (such Obligations, “Joint and Several Obligations”). Anything contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Obligations of each Borrower hereunder, solely with respect to the Joint and Several Obligations and to the extent that such Borrower did not receive proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans from any Borrowing hereunder, in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the Obligations of such Borrower would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under this Section 2.21(a) in respect of such Obligations, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Borrower or any other person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to any right of contribution) that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

88

(b) Each Borrower hereby agrees that until the Release Date it shall not exercise any direct or indirect right or remedy arising as a result of such Joint and Several Obligations, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against the other Borrower or any other Guarantor.

(c) Each Borrower hereby agrees that to the extent that a Borrower shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder in respect of Joint and Several Obligations, such Borrower shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against the other Borrower. Each Borrower’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.21(b). The provisions of this Section 2.21(c) shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of either Borrower to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders, and each Borrower shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders for the full amount of all Joint and Several Obligations.

(d) The Joint and Several Obligations of the Borrowers, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Joint and Several Obligations, or any substitution, release or exchange of any guarantee of or security for any of the Joint and Several Obligations, and, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (except for payment in full). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Borrowers hereunder which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:

(i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Borrowers, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Joint and Several Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;

(iii) the maturity of any of the Joint and Several Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Joint and Several Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any guarantee of any of the Joint and Several Obligations or except as permitted pursuant to Section 9.02, any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

(iv) any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, an Issuing Lender, any Lender or the Administrative Agent as security for any of the Joint and Several Obligations shall fail to be perfected; or

(v) the release of any other Guarantor pursuant to Section 9.02 or otherwise.

89

To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the other Borrower under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Joint and Several Obligations. The Borrowers waive, to the extent permitted by law, any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Joint and Several Obligations. The Borrowers’ Joint and Several Obligations shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other person at any time of any right or remedy against the Borrowers or either of them or against any other person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Joint and Several Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto.

Section 2.22 Refinancing Facilities.

(a) Refinancing Term Loans. GEO may, on one or more occasions, upon giving no less than five Business Days’ prior written notice (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) (which notice may take the form of a draft of the relevant Refinancing Term Facility Supplement) (the “Refinancing Term Loan Notice”) to the Administrative Agent, refinance all (and not less than all) of the Term Loans or the Incremental Term Loans of any Series with new term loans under this Agreement (such new term loans, “Refinancing Term Loans”); provided, that GEO shall not be required to refinance Tranche 1 Loans or Tranche 2 Loans in connection with any refinancing of Tranche 3 Loans required by Section 2.22(b). Each such notice shall specify the date (each, a “Refinancing Term Loan Effective Date”), which shall be a Business Day, on which GEO proposes that such refinancing shall be consummated. Any such refinancing, and the incurrence of any Refinancing Term Loans hereunder, shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) No Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

90

(B) the interest rate or rates applicable to the Refinancing Term Loans;

(C) any other material terms applicable to the Refinancing Term Loans; provided, that such other terms (excluding pricing, fees and optional prepayment or redemption terms) shall not be materially more favorable to the Lenders holding such Refinancing Term Loans than those applicable to the Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans being refinanced (except for covenants and other provisions only applicable after the stated maturity date of such Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans); and

(D) a certification from a Financial Officer of GEO that the requirements and conditions set forth in this Section 2.22(b) with respect to such Refinancing Term Loans have been complied with and satisfied, as applicable.

(v) Any Lender approached by GEO to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide any Refinancing Term Loans.

(vi) Any Refinancing Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment hereto and, to the extent applicable, the other Loan Documents (the “Refinancing Term Loan Amendment”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, executed and delivered by GEO, each Lender providing such Refinancing Term Loans and the Administrative Agent, which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth above (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender or Loan Party). Each Refinancing Term Loan Amendment shall be binding on the Lenders, the Loan Parties and the other parties hereto and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.02, may effect amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents of a technical or administrative nature as may be necessary, appropriate or desirable in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and GEO, in order to establish and implement such Refinancing Term Loans or the Commitments in respect thereof pursuant to, and to otherwise give effect to, the provisions of this Section 2.22(a).

(vii) Any Refinancing Term Loans shall be denominated in Dollars and shall rank pari passu with the remaining Term Loans (if any), or Incremental Term Loans not refinanced therewith and the other Obligations in right of payment and in priority with respect to the Liens created under the Security Documents; it being understood that (x) the borrower of such Refinancing Term Loans shall be GEO and (y) such Refinancing Term Loans shall not have any obligors that are not Loan Parties or any “restricted subsidiaries” that are not Restricted Subsidiaries.

The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders as to the occurrence of any Refinancing Term Loan Effective Date.

91

(b) Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments. The Borrowers may, on one or more occasions, upon giving no less than five Business Days’ prior written notice (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) (which notice may take the form of a draft of the relevant Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments Amendment) (the “Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments Notice”) to the Administrative Agent, refinance all (and not less than all) of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the revolving credit commitments under the Existing Credit Agreement with a new revolving credit facility under this Agreement (such refinancing of the Revolving Credit Commitments and revolving credit commitments under the Existing Credit Agreement, the “Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments”); provided, that the Borrowers may not consummate any such refinancing unless all (and not less than all) outstanding Tranche 3 Loans are refinanced in accordance with Section 2.22(a) simultaneously therewith. Each such Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments Notice shall specify the date (the “Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments Effective Date”), which shall be a Business Day, on which the Borrowers propose that such refinancing shall be consummated. Any such refinancing, and the incurrence of Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder, shall be subject to the following:

(i) No Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(ii) Substantially concurrently with the incurrence of any Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrowers shall terminate the existing Revolving Credit Commitments and revolving credit commitments under the Existing Credit Agreement, and repay, prepay and pay all of the then outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and other Revolving Credit Exposure associated with such terminated Revolving Credit Commitments and revolving credit loans and other revolving credit exposure associated with such terminated revolving credit commitments under the Existing Credit Agreement (together with, in each case, any accrued but unpaid interest and fees thereon and any premiums, if any, with respect thereto); provided that (x) any such termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be subject to, and effected in accordance with, Section 2.08(b) and (y) notwithstanding the foregoing, any undrawn Letter of Credit outstanding on the Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments Effective Date may, subject to arrangements satisfactory to the Issuing Lender of such Letter of Credit, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender under such Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments, be “rolled” under such Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments on and with effect from the Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments Effective Date.

(iii) The Borrowers shall pay any applicable amounts as and when required pursuant to Section 2.14 in connection with the prepayment, repayment, reduction or termination, as applicable, of the Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments being refinanced by such Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments and the initial Borrowing thereunder.

(B) the interest rate or rates and unused commitment fees applicable to the Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments and the Loans borrowed thereunder;

(C) any other material terms applicable to the Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, that such other terms (excluding pricing, fees and optional prepayment or commitment reduction terms) shall not be materially more favorable to the Lenders holding such Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments than those applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Loans being refinanced (except for covenants and other provisions only applicable after the latest final maturity or termination date of any such Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Loans); and

(D) a certification from a Financial Officer of GEO that the requirements and conditions set forth in this Section 2.22(b) with respect to such Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments have been complied with and satisfied, as applicable.

(v) Any Lender approached by the Borrowers to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide any Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments.

(vi) Solely to the extent that an Issuing Lender is not a replacement Issuing Lender under a Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments Amendment, it is understood and agreed that such Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue any letters of credit under such Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments Amendment and, to the extent it is necessary for such Issuing Lender to withdraw as an Issuing Lender at the time of the establishment of such Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments Amendment, such withdrawal shall be on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Lender in its sole discretion. The Borrowers agree to reimburse each Issuing Lender in full upon demand, for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket cost or expense attributable to such withdrawal.

(vii) Any Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment hereto and, to the extent applicable, the other Loan Documents (the “Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments Amendment”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, executed and delivered by each of the Borrowers, each Lender providing the Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments and the Administrative Agent, which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth above (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender or Loan Party). Each Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments Amendment shall be binding on the Lenders, the Loan Parties and the other parties hereto and, notwithstanding anything to the

93

contrary in Section 9.02, may effect amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents of a technical or administrative nature as may be necessary, appropriate or desirable in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and GEO, in order to establish and implement such Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to, and to otherwise give effect to, the provisions of this Section 2.22(b).

(viii) Any Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments shall be denominated in Dollars and shall rank pari passu with the remaining Revolving Credit Commitments (if any) not refinanced therewith and the other Obligations in right of payment and in priority with respect to the Liens created under the Security Documents; it being understood that (x) the only borrowers thereunder shall be the Borrowers and (y) such Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments shall not have any other obligors that are not the Loan Parties or any “restricted subsidiaries” that are not Restricted Subsidiaries.

The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders as to the effectiveness of any Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments Effective Date.

Section 2.23 Cashless Settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all of the portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by this Agreement pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by GEO, the Administrative Agent, and such Lender, and any such exchange, continuation or rollover shall be deemed to comply with any requirement hereunder or under any other Loan Document that any payment be made “in Dollars” (or the relevant alternate currency), “in immediately available funds”, “in cash” or any other similar requirement.

Section 2.24 Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a) 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 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 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 payable on a monthly basis.

94

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

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrowers of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.24(d) 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 2.24, 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 2.24; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Benchmark Replacement to constitute a “qualified rate” within the meaning of United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-6(b).

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

(e) Benchmark Unavailability Period.

ARTICLE VIII

AGENCY

Section 8.01 Administrative Agent.

(a) Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Alter Domus Products Corp. to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, and none of the Loan Parties shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Hedge Counterparty and a potential Cash Management Bank) and each Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and such Issuing Lender 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, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article VIII and Article IX (including Section 9.03(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

133

Section 8.02 Rights as a Lender. If the Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder is also a Lender, such Person shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each Person serving or named as the Administrative Agent hereunder in such Person’s individual capacity. Such Persons and their Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with GEO or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 8.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 9.02) and, upon receipt of such instructions from Required Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law;

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to GEO or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the final paragraph of Section 7.01 or Section 9.02);

134

provided that any act or omission to act taken by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances) shall not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, (ii) in the exercise of its “sole” or “absolute” discretion as expressly provided for in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or (iii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” and describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by GEO, a Lender or an Issuing Lender;

(d) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; and

(e) Nothing herein or in any other Loan Document or related documents shall obligate the Administrative Agent to advance, expend or risk its own funds, or to take any action which in its reasonable judgment may cause it to incur any expense or financial or other liability for which it is not adequately indemnified.

Section 8.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, amendment, increase, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance, amendment, renewal, increase or extension of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

135

Section 8.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

Section 8.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and GEO. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with GEO, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States of America, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States, or other entity that serves as administrative agent in other similar syndicated credit facilities. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall such any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender at the time of such succession. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to GEO and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with GEO, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent

136

hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired or removed) Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 2.15(h) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring, retired or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall (to the extent not already discharged as provided above) be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between GEO and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them (i) while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and (ii) after such resignation or removal for as long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including (x) acting as collateral agent or otherwise holding any collateral security on behalf of any of the Secured Parties and (y) in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Administrative Agent.

Section 8.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 8.08 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02(b) with respect to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may, with the prior consent of the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders (or number or percentage of the Lenders) as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), consent to any modification, supplement or waiver under any of the Loan Documents; provided that, without the prior consent of each Lender, the Administrative Agent shall not (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in the Security Documents) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or otherwise terminate all or substantially all of the Liens under the Security Documents, agree to additional obligations being secured by all or substantially all of such collateral (unless the Lien for such additional obligations shall be junior to the Lien in favor of the other obligations secured by such Security Document, in which event the Administrative Agent may consent to such junior Lien and the documentation therefor, provided that, unless such junior Lien is permitted hereunder, the Required Lenders shall have consented thereto), alter the relative priorities of the obligations entitled to the benefits of the Liens created under the Security Documents with respect to all or substantially all of such collateral, or release all or substantially all of the Guarantors under the Loan Documents from their

137

Guarantee obligations thereunder; provided, further, that no such consent shall be required, and the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release (or to confirm or further evidence the release of) (i) any Lien covering property (and to release any such Guarantor) that (x) is the subject of a disposition of property permitted hereunder, a disposition to which the Required Lenders have consented or the designation of any such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to Section 5.09(d), (y) at such time constitutes Excluded Property or Excluded Real Property, or (z) the release of which has been consented to by such Lenders (or such number or percentage of the Lenders) as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02, (ii) any Subsidiary from its obligations under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms of the applicable Loan Documents if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary or a Guarantor, as applicable, as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents or a designation pursuant to Section 5.09(d), and (iii) all of the Liens under the Loan Documents and all of the Loan Parties from their obligations under the Loan Documents, in each case under this clause (iii) upon the occurrence of the Release Date.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Loan Party from its obligations under the Loan Documents pursuant to this Section 8.08. In each case as specified in this Section 8.08, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Loan Party from its obligations under the Loan Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 8.08.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into 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.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, upon the written request of GEO at any time, any existing Mortgage may be released so long as (i) the Borrowers shall continue to otherwise satisfy the Material Real Property NBV Threshold requirement (whether through existing Mortgages or by the designation of one or more replacement Material Real Properties and the delivery of new Mortgages on such replacement Material Real Properties), and (ii) the Material Real Property encumbered by such Mortgage does not have a net book value that exceeds the Material Real Property Threshold.

Section 8.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim; Credit Bidding. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

138

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Exposure and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.11 and 9.03) 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 Lender and the Issuing Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.11 and 9.03.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the Issuing Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the Issuing Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or the Issuing Lender or in any such proceeding.

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 accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured 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 of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, (b) at any other sale or 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 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 would 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) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make

139

a bid, (ii) 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 the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in clauses (i) through (xi) of Section 9.02(b)), and (iii) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an 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 debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

Section 8.10 Hedge Counterparties and Cash Management Banks. Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, no Cash Management Bank or Hedge Counterparty that obtains the benefits of any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its (or its Affiliate’s) capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VIII to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Cash Management Obligations or obligations under Hedging Agreements of Hedge Counterparties unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Cash Management Obligations or obligations under Hedging Agreements of Hedge Counterparties, as applicable, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Counterparty, as the case may be.

Section 8.11 [Reserved].

Section 8.12 Erroneous PaymentsSection 8.13 .

(a) Each Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby agrees that (i) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender or Issuing Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender or Issuing Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Lender or Issuing Lender (whether or not known to such Lender or Issuing Lender) (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender or Issuing Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (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 Lender or Issuing Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate

140

determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender or Issuing Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including, without limitation, waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar theory or doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or any Issuing Lender under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by notice of payment, or (z) that such Lender or Issuing Lender otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each case, if an error has been made each such Lender and Issuing Lender is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of receipt of such Erroneous Payment, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender or Issuing Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar theory or doctrine. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge (or deemed knowledge) of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in all events no later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds (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 Lender or Issuing Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(c) The Borrowers and each other Loan Party hereby agree that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender or Issuing Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason (and without limiting the Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies under this Section 8.12), the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender or Issuing Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that this Section 8.12 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Loan Parties relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided further that, for the avoidance of doubt, this clause (c) shall not apply to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from, or on behalf of (including through the exercise of remedies under any Loan Document), the Loan Parties for the purpose of a payment on the Obligations.

141

(d) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent provided by Law, each Lender or Issuing Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to, without prior written notice to any Lender or Issuing Lender, any such notice being expressly waived by such Lender or Issuing Lender to the extent permitted by applicable law, set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Issuing Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or Issuing Lender under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).

(e) Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, the termination of the Commitments, the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document or the termination of the Loan Documents.

(iii) if to a Lender, to it at its address set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire.

Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by telecopier shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in Section 9.01(b), shall be effective as provided in said Section 9.01(b).

(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or any Issuing Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or GEO may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

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

(c) Change of Address, Etc. Any party hereto may change its address or telecopier number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto (or, in the case of any such change by a Lender, by notice to GEO and the Administrative Agent).

(d) Platform. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders materials and/or information provided by, or on behalf of, GEO, its Subsidiaries and the Other Consolidated Persons hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on Intralinks, DebtDomain or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) or otherwise in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s standard practices, and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material nonpublic information with respect to GEO, its Subsidiaries or their respective securities of any of the foregoing (collectively, “MNPI”) (each, a “Public Lender”)). Each Borrower hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC”

144

which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrowers shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any MNPI for purposes of foreign or United States Federal and state securities laws (provided that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.12(b)), (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor,” and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be deemed to be marked “PUBLIC,” unless GEO notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains MNPI: (i) the Loan Documents, (ii) any notification of changes in the terms of the Commitments or the Loans and (iii) all information furnished pursuant to Section 5.01(a), (b) and (e).

Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain MNPI.

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN ANY COMMUNICATIONS ON OR THROUGH THE PLATFORM. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY BORROWER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, ANY SECURED PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF THE BORROWERS’ OR ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES’ OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

145

Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided above) specifying that the communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents.

Section 9.02 Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrowers therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers, the Required Lenders and the Required Revolving Credit Lenders or by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders and the Required Revolving Credit Lenders; provided that

(i) subject to clause (ii) below, the consent of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders shall not be separately required (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the consent of the Required Lenders shall be required) for:

(A) any waiver, amendment or modification of a representation, affirmative or negative covenant or Event of Default hereunder or under any other Loan Document (or any component definition thereof), except for provisions relating to: (i) the use of proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans and Letters of Credit; (ii) additional Subsidiary Guarantors, additional Foreign Subsidiaries and the designation of Restricted Subsidiaries and Unrestricted Subsidiaries; (iii) new real property Collateral; (iv) further assurances and real estate deliverables; (v) transactions with Affiliates; and (vi) Change in Control;

(B) any waiver, amendment or modification of Article II hereof, except for provisions relating to: (i) Letters of Credit, (ii) the election, calculation, repayment or prepayment of interest or fees accruing on, or the request for or funding, termination, reduction, increase or repayment of, the Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Loans or the delivery of promissory notes, (iii) to the extent relating to the Revolving Credit

146

Commitments or Revolving Credit Loans, reimbursement for or other actions required in respect of increased costs, break funding payments, Taxes or illegality, (iv) pro rata treatment and sharing in respect of the Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Loans, (v) mitigation obligations and replacement of Revolving Credit Lenders, (vi) Defaulting Lenders that are Revolving Credit Lenders, (vii) Section 2.21, (viii) Section 2.22(b) and (ix) to the extent relating to Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Loans, Section 2.24;

(C) any waiver, amendment or modification of Article VIII hereof, except for provisions relating to the rights and obligations of Revolving Credit Lenders or Issuing Lenders;

(E) any waiver, amendment or modification of Section 2.10(b) or any similar provision in any Loan Document that does not adversely affect the timing or amount of any mandatory prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans;

(F) any waiver, amendment or modification of the requirements to incur Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Equivalent Debt pursuant to Sections 2.01(e) and 2.01(f);

(G) any waiver, amendment or modification of the terms of any Term Loan (including, but not limited to, any amendment or modification to the interest, fees, maturity, lien priority and mandatory prepayments thereof);

(H) any waiver, amendment or modification of the rights, duties, responsibilities, obligations or indemnities of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender (subject to Section 9.02(b)(iii)); and

(I) any waiver, amendment or modification of Section 9.04 relating solely to Term Loans:

(ii) no such agreement shall:

147

(A) increase any Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that the waiver of a condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 or the waiver of any Default or Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of Commitments, in each case shall not constitute an increase of any Commitment of any Lender);

(B) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (it being understood that the waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute such a reduction);

(C) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment (in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding amendments to Section 2.10(b)(i) or (ii)), without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (it being understood that the waiver of any Default or Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of Commitments, in each case shall not constitute such a postponement, reduction, waiver or excusal);

(D) change Section 2.16(c) or (d) or any similar provision in any Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(E) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.02(b) or the percentage in the definition of the term “Required Lenders”, “Required Revolving Credit Lenders” or any other provision hereof expressly specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby;

(F) permit any subordination of the principal or interest on any Loan or the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(f) for all LC Disbursements, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby;

(G) release the Borrowers from their obligations under the Loan Documents (other than as specifically permitted or contemplated in this Agreement) without the prior written consent of each Lender;

(H) permit any assignment (other than as specifically permitted or contemplated in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) of any of the Borrowers’ rights and obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender;

148

(I) (a) release (x) all or substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction or series of related transactions or (y) other than in connection with (1) the release of a Mortgage pursuant to and in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 8.08 or (2) a Disposition of the Collateral thereunder permitted by this Agreement, any of the Mortgages (it being understood that any (A) modification of the definition of the term “Material Real Property” or (B) exercise of discretion by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, in each case shall not constitute such a release), or (b) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of any Loan Document and release any guarantees or Liens or pledges in connection therewith so as to (x) release the Liens of the Secured Parties in all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantors’ obligations under the Guaranty Agreement or subordinate the rights or claims of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, or (y) permit the release or Disposition of all or substantially all of the outstanding Equity Interests, all or substantially all of the assets, or all or substantially all of the business of, GEO, the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in each case, other than, in each case, the payment in full, in cash, of the Obligations, in each case under clauses (a) and (b) without the prior written consent of each Lender;

(J) change Section 2.10(b)(v) or Section 7.02 or Section 5.4 of the Collateral Agreement in a manner that would alter the application of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby;

(L) change Section 5.09(a) or (d) or Section 8.08 (or any defined term used therein) in any manner adverse to the Lenders, without the written consent of each Lender (it being understood and agreed that the extension of any deadline set forth in Section 5.09(a) in accordance with the terms thereof shall not constitute a change in Section 5.09(a));

(M) (a) change the amount set forth in Section 6.04(j) or (k), without the written consent of the Required Supermajority Lenders or (b) except as set forth in the foregoing clause (a), change Section 6.04(j) or (k), without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby;

Notwithstanding any other language to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any amendment, waiver or modification to which the Administrative Agent’s consent is not required, the parties agree to deliver to the Administrative Agent a copy of each such amendment, waiver or modification; provided that, (i) no party shall be liable for its failure to comply with this sentence and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall not be bound by any such amendment unless and until it has received a copy thereof.

150

fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrowers arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Lender to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit) and any payments that the Administrative Agent is required to make under any indemnity issued to any bank to which remittances in respect of Accounts (as defined in the UCC), as defined in the Collateral Agreement, are to be made, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (y) except with respect to the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties, result from a claim brought by any Borrower against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if any Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) arise with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses arising from any non-Tax claim addressed in Section 2.15 hereof.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that any Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Sections 9.03(a) or (b) to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or an Issuing Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Issuing Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Issuing Lender in connection with such capacity.

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Borrower shall assert, and each Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan, Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

152

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after demand therefor.

Section 9.04 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with Section 9.04(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with Section 9.04(d) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 9.04(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).

Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) to any Person; provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts; Resulting Commitments.

(B) in any case not described in Section 9.04(b)(i)(A), the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of a Revolving Credit Commitment or a Refinancing Revolving Commitment, $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of any Term Loan Commitment, an Incremental Term Loan Commitment or a Refinancing Term Loan Commitment, in each case unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, GEO otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and

153

(C) immediately after giving effect to any such assignment of Revolving Credit Commitments, with respect to each of the assignor Lender and the assignee Lender, such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed its Revolving Credit Commitment.

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations in respect of different Classes of Commitments on a non-pro rata basis.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund except to the extent required by Section 9.04(b)(i)(B) and, in addition:

(A) the consent of GEO (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that GEO shall be deemed to have given its consent ten days after the date a request therefor has been delivered by the Administrative Agent unless such consent is expressly refused in writing by GEO prior to such tenth day;

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (x) a Revolving Credit Commitment, a Term Loan Commitment or an Incremental Term Loan Commitment no part of which has been utilized if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment of such Class, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (y) a Term Loan Commitment, a Term Loan or an Incremental Term Loan Commitment which has been utilized to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

(C) the consent(s) of the relevant Issuing Lender(s) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and

(D) the consent of each Issuing Lender shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Commitments.

154

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and all documentation and other information reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be required by applicable regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act.

(v) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person).

(vi) No Assignment to Defaulting Lender. No such assignment shall be made to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (vi).

(vii) Limitations on Assignments to GEO and its Affiliates. No such assignments shall be made to GEO or any of its Affiliates, except, solely with respect to Term Loans, as otherwise provided below in this Section.

(viii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of GEO and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this clause (viii), then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, each Term Lender shall have the right at any time (or, with respect to a Tranche 2 Lender, subject to the terms of the Exchange Amendment) to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of the Term Loans owing to it to GEO (but not any Subsidiary of GEO) on a non-pro rata basis (provided, however, that each assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any applicable Term Loan) pursuant to (x) one or more modified Dutch auctions (each, an “Auction”) to repurchase all or any portion of the Term Loans (provided that, (A) notice

155

of the Auction shall be made to all Term Lenders, as applicable, and (B) the Auction shall be conducted pursuant to such procedures which are consistent with this Section 9.04(b) as the Auction Manager may establish and otherwise reasonably acceptable to GEO, the Auction Manager, and the Administrative Agent) or (y) open market purchases, in each case subject to the following additional limitations: (A) with respect to all purchases made by GEO pursuant to this Section 9.04(b), (I) GEO shall deliver to the Auction Manager, if applicable, a certificate of the President, a Vice President or a Financial Officer of GEO stating that no Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such purchase, (II) GEO shall not, directly or indirectly, use the proceeds of any Revolving Credit Loans to acquire any Term Loan, (III) GEO shall disclose in writing to the assigning Lender (prior to the entering into of an Assignment and Assumption or other agreement in respect of such assignment) its identity as the purchaser of such Term Loans, as applicable, and (IV) the assigning Lender and the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Auction Manager, if applicable, an Assignment and Assumption; (B) immediately upon the consummation of any purchase by GEO pursuant to this Section 9.04(b), all Term Loans so repurchased shall, without further action by any Person, be deemed cancelled by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so purchased and cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and, for the avoidance of doubt, may not be resold by GEO), for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to (I) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (and each principal repayment installment with respect to the Term Loans, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.09(a) shall be reduced pro rata by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans so purchased and cancelled), (II) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (III) the determination of Required Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (C) the purchase price paid by GEO in connection with any such purchases shall be paid only in cash. In connection with any Term Loans purchased and cancelled pursuant to this Section 9.04(b), Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect any such cancellation.

Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), any “know your customer” information requested by the Administrative Agent, the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)(iv) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 9.04(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless and until it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 9.04(b).

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.04(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be the date of recordation in the Register, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the

156

assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be (x) entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14, Section 2.15 and Section 9.03 and (y) obligated pursuant to Section 2.17(g), in each case with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 9.04(d).

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by GEO or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person) or any Borrower or any of the Borrowers’ respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries) in all or a portion (provided that any such portion shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of any participation in respect of a Revolving Credit Commitment or Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitment, or $1,000,000, in the case of any participation in respect of a Term Loan Commitment, an Incremental Term Loan Commitment or a Refinancing Term Loan Commitment) of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver which would reduce the principal of or the interest rate on any Loan or the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse any Borrowing, extend the term or increase the amount of the applicable Commitment of such Lender, reduce the

157

amount of any fees to which such Participant is entitled, extend any scheduled payment date for principal of any Loan or, except as expressly contemplated hereby or thereby, release substantially all of the collateral granted in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any such case in a manner that would affect such Participant. Subject to Section 9.04(e), the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.04(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16(d) as though it were a Lender.

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, 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. This Section 9.04(d) shall be construed so that the Loans and other obligations hereunder are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or such regulations), including Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13 and Section 2.15 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with GEO’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless GEO is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Sections 2.15(e) and (g) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; 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.

Section 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by any of the Borrowers herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of

158

any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or been terminated. The provisions of Section 2.13, Section 2.14, Section 2.15 and Section 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Borrower Assignment Agreements.

(a) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement (and any amendment hereto or waiver hereunder) may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract between and among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that any confidentiality agreement or non-disclosure agreement between GEO or any of its Affiliates and any Lender entered into in connection with the Effective Date Transactions will survive the entry into this Agreement and will continue in full force and effect, subject to the terms thereof, notwithstanding any of the terms hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopy or in “Portable Document Format” shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

(b) Borrower Assignment Agreements. Each Lender executing this Agreement shall become a party hereto by delivering to the Administrative Agent (i) a counterpart of this Agreement duly executed by such Lender or (ii) a Borrower Assignment Agreement duly executed by such Lender and GEO, and, by executing this Agreement or a Borrower Assignment Agreement, each such Lender agrees to be bound by the provisions hereof as a Lender hereunder.

Section 9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in

159

whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such Issuing Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrowers now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrowers may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or such Issuing Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (i) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders, and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such Issuing Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees to notify GEO and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

Section 9.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

160

Each Borrower acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to GEO or one or more of its Subsidiaries (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more subsidiaries or affiliates of such Lender and the Borrowers hereby authorize each Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by GEO or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such subsidiary or affiliate, it being understood that any such subsidiary or affiliate receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of Section 9.12(b) as if it were a Lender hereunder. Such authorization shall survive the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

(b) Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and Related Parties (it being understood that

the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party hereto, (v) 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, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Loan Parties and their obligations, (vii) on a confidential basis to (A) any rating agency in connection with rating GEO and its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities established or documented under this Agreement or (B) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the credit facilities established or documented under this Agreement, (viii) with the consent of GEO or (ix) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than GEO.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means (x) all information received from the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries relating to the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential and (y) all information relating to the Effective Date Transactions and the Senior Note Exchange Transactions, including, but not limited to, the parties to any exchanges, assignments or related transactions and the amounts so exchanged or assigned. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 9.13 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, such Lender may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name, address and tax identification number of the Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with said Patriot Act. Each Borrower hereby agrees to provide and verify any such required information promptly following the written request therefor by the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

162

Section 9.14 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.14 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Section 9.15 Judgment Currency. This is an international loan transaction in which the specification of Dollars or any Foreign Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Currency”), and payment in New York City or the country of the Specified Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Place”), is of the essence, and the Specified Currency shall be the currency of account in all events relating to Loans denominated in the Specified Currency. The payment obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement shall not be discharged or satisfied by an amount paid in another currency or in another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on conversion to the Specified Currency and transfer to the Specified Place under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of the Specified Currency at the Specified Place due hereunder. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in the Specified Currency into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange that shall be applied shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Lenders could purchase the Specified Currency with the Second Currency on the Business Day next preceding the day on which such judgment is rendered. The obligation of the Borrowers in respect of any such sum due from them to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in this Section called an “Entitled Person”) shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Entitled Person of any sum adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency such Entitled Person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase and transfer to the Specified Place the Specified Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so adjudged to be due; and the Borrowers hereby, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agree to indemnify such Entitled Person against, and to pay such Entitled Person on demand, in the Specified Currency, the amount (if any) by which the sum originally due to such Entitled Person in the Specified Currency hereunder exceeds the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased and transferred.

Section 9.16 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

163

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

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

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

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other 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 9.17 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any 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 hereto 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):

(a) 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.

164

(b) As used in this Section 9.17, the following terms have the following meanings:

(i) “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

(ii) “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

(iii) “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

(iv) “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D) .

Section 9.18 Prepayment Premium(i) . It is understood and agreed that the Prepayment Premium applicable at the time of a Prepayment Premium Trigger Event shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Tranche 1 Lender’s lost profits as a result thereof. Any Prepayment Premium payable under the terms of this Agreement shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Tranche 1 Lender as the result of the early termination, and each Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Prepayment Premium (if any) shall also become due and payable under this Agreement in the event the Obligations (and/or this Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means or the Obligations are reinstated pursuant to Section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States. In the event the Prepayment Premium is determined not to be due and payable by order of any court of competent jurisdiction, including by operation any Debtor Relief Laws, despite such a triggering event having occurred, the Prepayment Premium shall nonetheless constitute Obligations under this Agreement for all purposes hereunder. EACH LOAN PARTY EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREPAYMENT PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH PREPAYMENT OR ACCELERATION. Each Borrower expressly agrees (to the fullest extent that it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Prepayment Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then-prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Tranche 1 Lenders and the Borrowers giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium; and (D) each Borrower shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. Each Borrower expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium to the Tranche 1 Lenders as herein described is a material inducement to the Tranche 1 Lenders to provide the Tranche 1 Loan Commitments and make the Tranche 1 Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to calculate, or to verify any Borrower’s or any Tranche 1 Lender’s calculation of, any Prepayment Premium due under this Agreement.
