(a)For purposes of determining compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 9.10 and Section 10, in the event that any Lien, Investment, Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred Capital Stock, disposition or other sale or transfer of assets, Restricted Payment, Affiliate transaction, Contractual Requirement, or prepayment or redemption of Indebtedness (or, in each case of any of the foregoing, any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one, or more than one, of the applicable Baskets of the applicable covenant (including within any sub-clauses, sub-categories or sub-items under this Agreement) then permitted pursuant to Section 9.10 or Section 10, as applicable, such transaction (or portion thereof) at any time shall be permitted under one or more of such Baskets of such covenant (including within any sub-clauses, sub-categories or sub-items under this Agreement) at the time of such transaction or incurrence thereof or at any later time from time to time, in each case, as determined by the Borrower in its sole discretion at such time, and the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, classify and reclassify and, from time to time, later divide, classify or reclassify, such Lien, Investment, Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred Capital Stock, disposition or other sale or transfer of assets, Restricted Payment, Affiliate transaction, Contractual Requirement, or prepayment or redemption of Indebtedness (or, in each case of any of the foregoing, any portion thereof) among such applicable Baskets of such covenant (including any sub-clauses, sub-categories or sub-items under this Agreement), as applicable, in any manner not expressly prohibited by this Agreement (and, for the avoidance of doubt, will only be required to include such transaction or incurrence in such of the applicable Baskets of such covenant (including any sub-clauses, sub-categories or sub-items under this Agreement) as determined by Borrower at such time). For the avoidance of doubt, without limitation, any amount re-allocated by the Borrower among the General Investment Basket, the General Restricted Payments Basket, the General Subordinated Payments Basket and/or the General Debt Basket may be subsequently re-allocated by the Borrower among such applicable Baskets in accordance therewith.

(b)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, unless the Borrower elects otherwise in its sole discretion, (I) with respect to (x) any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a Basket (any such Basket, a “Fixed Basket”) of this Agreement (including Revolving Loans and, to the extent established or incurred under the Non-Ratio Based Incremental Basket, New Loan Commitments, Incremental Loans and Permitted Other Indebtedness) that does not require compliance with a Financial Incurrence Test (any such amounts, including for the avoidance of doubt, any grower component based on Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets, the “Fixed Amounts”) or, without limiting any requirement set forth hereunder with respect to the netting of cash proceeds of any Indebtedness in determining compliance with the applicable Financial Incurrence Test, any transaction utilizing any Unrestricted Cash and Cash Equivalents, in each case under this clause (x), substantially concurrently with (or as part of a single transaction or a series of related transactions with) (y) any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a Basket (any such Basket, a “Non-Fixed Basket”) of this Agreement (including Indebtedness incurred or established under the Incremental Ratio Basket) that requires compliance with a financial ratio or test (including the Interest Coverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio and the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio) (any such financial ratio or test, a “Financial Incurrence Test”), it is understood and agreed that (I) all Fixed Amounts (or any other amounts incurred under a Fixed Basket) or any utilization of any such Unrestricted Cash and Cash Equivalents shall be disregarded in the calculation of any Financial Incurrence Test applicable to any Non-Fixed Basket that is utilized substantially concurrent with the utilization of such Fixed Basket (or part of a single transaction or series of related transactions), (II) any Indebtedness incurred to fund original issue discount, upfront fees, accrued interest, premium and transaction expenses concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a Non-Fixed Basket shall be disregarded in the calculation of each Financial Incurrence Test applicable to any Non-Fixed Basket and (III) any Revolving Loans (or borrowings under any other revolving credit facility of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries) shall be disregarded in the calculation of any Financial Incurrence Test; provided that notwithstanding anything else provided herein, any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a Basket of this Agreement that is expressly limited by a fixed-dollar limitation (including any grower component based on a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets) and that includes, as a condition to incurring (or consummating) applicable amounts or transactions, in reliance on such Basket limited by a fixed-dollar limitation, a requirement of compliance with a Financial Incurrence Test shall constitute a “Fixed Amount” hereunder.

112

(c)If any Lien, Investment, Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred Capital Stock, disposition or other sale or transfer of assets, Restricted Payment, Affiliate transaction, Contractual Requirement, prepayment or redemption of Indebtedness or other transaction or action is incurred, issued or consummated in reliance on a Basket measured by reference to a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets, and any such Lien, Investment, Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred Capital Stock, disposition or other sale or transfer of assets, Restricted Payment, Affiliate transaction, Contractual Requirement, prepayment or redemption of Indebtedness or other transaction or action would subsequently exceed the applicable percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets, as applicable, under such Basket if calculated based on the Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets, as applicable, on a later date (including the date of any refinancing), such percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets, as applicable, will be deemed not to be exceeded; provided that, in the case of refinancing any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred Capital Stock (and any related Lien) in reliance on this clause (c), the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred Capital Stock does not exceed the aggregate outstanding principal amount, accreted value or liquidation preference of the refinanced Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred Capital Stock, plus the amount of any unused commitments thereunder, plus accrued interest, fees, expenses, defeasance costs and premium (including call and tender premiums), if any, under the refinanced Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred Capital Stock, plus underwriting discounts, fees, commissions and expenses (including original issue discount, upfront fees and similar items) in connection with the refinancing of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred Capital Stock and the incurrence or issuance of such refinancing Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred Capital Stock.

(d)With respect to any Fixed Basket in this Agreement that is determined by reference to a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA as of the most recently ended Test Period as of such time of determination (including on a “greater of” basis), the Consolidated EBITDA shall be deemed to be the greater of (x) Consolidated EBITDA as of the applicable most recently ended Test Period as of such time of determination as set forth in such Fixed Basket and (y) the greatest Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower for any trailing four fiscal quarter period ending prior to such Test Period as to which Section 9.1 Financials have been delivered to the Administrative Agent.

1.12 Pro Forma and Other Calculations.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Financial Incurrence Tests, including the Interest Coverage Ratio, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio and the Total Net Leverage Ratio, and compliance with covenants determined by reference to Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets, shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.12; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clauses (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) of this Section 1.12, when calculating the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio for purposes of (i) determining the “Commitment Fee Rate,” (ii) Section 10.9 (other than for the purpose of determining pro forma compliance with Section 10.9) and (iii) Section 5.2(a)(ii), in each case, (x) the events described in this Section 1.12 that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period shall not be given pro forma effect (except that the ECF Payment Percentage shall be calculated giving effect to the prepayment) and (y) the effect of any LCT Election shall be disregarded.

113

(b)For purposes of calculating any Financial Incurrence Test or compliance with any covenant determined by reference to Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets, Specified Transactions (with any incurrence or repayment of any Indebtedness in connection therewith to be subject to clause (d) of this Section 1.12) that have been made (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) other than as described in the proviso to clause (a) above, subsequent to such Test Period and prior to or concurrently with the event for which the calculation of any such Financial Incurrence Test, or any such calculation of Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets, is made shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and any increase or decrease in Consolidated EBITDA and the component financial definitions used therein attributable to any Specified Transaction) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period (or, in the case of Consolidated Total Assets, on the last day of the applicable Test Period). If since the beginning of any applicable Test Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.12, then such Financial Incurrence Test (or Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets) shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.12.

(c)Whenever Pro Forma Effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or chief accounting officer of the Borrower and may include, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of “run-rate” cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies (including cost, revenue, margin and reimbursement synergies) resulting from, or related to, any Specified Transaction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any applicable actions or transactions occurring prior to the Closing Date) that are projected by the Borrower in good faith to result from actions either taken, or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected to be taken, in each case under this clause (c), calculated (1) net of the amount of actual benefits realized prior to, or during, such period from such actions and (2) on a Pro Forma Basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies had been realized on the first day of such period and for the entirety of such period; provided that a in the good faith determination of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies are reasonably identifiable; provided further, that (x) it is understood and agreed that “run-rate” means the full recurring benefit for a period that is associated with any action or transaction either taken, or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected to be taken (including any savings expected to result from the elimination of a public target’s compliance costs with public company requirements), and any such adjustments shall be included in the initial pro forma calculations of such financial ratios or tests relating to such Specified Transaction (and in respect of any subsequent pro forma calculations in which such Specified Transaction is given Pro Forma Effect) and during any applicable subsequent Test Period for any subsequent calculation of such financial ratios and tests and (y) no amounts shall be added pursuant to this clause (c) to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in computing Consolidated EBITDA (or any other components thereof), whether through a pro forma adjustment or otherwise, with respect to such period. With respect to any pro forma calculation that is required to be made in connection with any acquisition or other Investment in respect of which financial statements for the applicable target are not available for the same Test Period for which financial statements of the Borrower are available, the Borrower shall make the relevant calculation on the basis of the relevant available financial statements (even if for differing periods) or such other commercially reasonable basis as the Borrower may elect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, when calculating Consolidated EBITDA on a Pro Forma Basis solely for purposes of clause (3) of the Available Amount Growing Prong, at the election of the Borrower, Specified Transactions occurring after the Closing Date shall not be given pro forma effect.

114

(d)In the event that (x) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or guarantees) or repays (including by repurchase, redemption, repayment, retirement, discharge, defeasance or extinguishment) any Indebtedness (in each case, other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility or line of credit) or (y) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary issues, repurchases or redeems Disqualified Stock, in each case, (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) other than as described in the proviso to clause (a) above, subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or concurrently with the event for which the calculation of any Financial Incurrence Test is made, then such Financial Incurrence Test shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, repurchase, redemption, repayment, retirement, discharge, defeasance or extinguishment of Indebtedness, or such issuance, repurchase or redemption of Disqualified Stock, in each case to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period (except in the case of the Interest Coverage Ratio (or similar ratio), in which case such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, repurchase, redemption, repayment, retirement, discharge, defeasance or extinguishment of Indebtedness or such issuance, repurchase or redemption of Disqualified Stock will be given effect as if the same had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period). In the event an item of Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock (or any portion thereof) is incurred, assumed or issued, any Lien is incurred or assumed or other transaction is undertaken in reliance on a Financial Incurrence Test under any Basket, such Financial Incurrence Test shall be calculated without regard to the incurrence of any Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility or letter of credit facility substantially concurrently therewith.

(e)If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of the event for which the calculation of the Interest Coverage Ratio is made had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any interest hedging arrangements applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on a Finance Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Finance Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a secured overnight financing rate, or other rate, shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if none, then based upon such optional rate as the Borrower or any applicable Restricted Subsidiary may designate.

(f)In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of:

(i)determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the calculation of any Financial Incurrence Test,

(ii)testing availability or capacity under Baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets), or

(iii)determining the accuracy or compliance of any representation or warranty or the existence of any Default or Event of Default,

in each case under this clause (f), at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreement or irrevocable notice, as applicable, for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into or otherwise effective (or in the case of a Limited Condition Transaction that involves some other manner of establishing a binding obligation under local law, such other binding obligation to consummate is effective) (the “LCT Test Date”) (provided that, solely in connection with an acquisition to which the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers applies, at the option of the Borrower, the “LCT Test Date” shall be deemed to be the date on which a “Rule 2.7 announcement” of a firm intention to make an offer (or equivalent announcement in another jurisdiction) is made or delivered in respect of a target of a Limited Condition Transaction), and if, after giving Pro Forma Effect to the Limited Condition Transaction, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries would have been permitted to take such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or basket such ratio, test or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with; provided that (x) the Borrower may, in lieu of calculating any ratio, test or basket for purposes of clause (f)(i) or (f)(ii) above in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, elect to calculate such ratio, test or basket for purposes of clause (f)(i) or (f)(ii) above in respect of the last twelve fiscal months of the Borrower for which monthly financial statements are internally available by delivering an LTM Determination Notification and (y) if financial statements for one or more subsequent fiscal quarters (or, if the Borrower has delivered an LTM Determination Notification, subsequent fiscal months) or fiscal years, as applicable, shall have become available prior to the consummation of the applicable Limited Condition Transaction, the Borrower may elect, in its sole discretion, to re-determine availability under any applicable ratio, test or basket for purposes of clause (f)(i) or (f)(ii) above on the basis of such financial statements, in which case, such date of redetermination shall thereafter be deemed to be the applicable LCT Test Date of such ratio, test or basket for purposes of clause (f)(i) or (f)(ii) above. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date would have failed to have been satisfied as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Interest Expense or Consolidated Total Assets, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets, tests or ratios will be deemed not to have failed to have been satisfied as a result of such fluctuations and (ii) such ratios, tests or baskets shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, unless the Borrower elects in its sole discretion to test such ratio, test or basket on the date such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated instead of the LCT Test Date. If the Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any event or transaction occurring after the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires or date for redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment or otherwise specified in an irrevocable notice for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated, expires or passes, as applicable, without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction (a “Subsequent Transaction”) in connection with which a ratio, test or basket availability calculation must be made on a Pro Forma Basis or giving Pro Forma Effect to such Subsequent Transaction, for purposes of determining whether such ratio, test or basket availability has been complied with under this Agreement, any such ratio, test or basket shall be required to be satisfied on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith have been consummated. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall not be required to give effect to prospective pricing “flex” or similar rights that have not been exercised on or prior to the LCT Test Date for purposes of calculating any Financial Incurrence Test in connection with any LCT Election.

115

(g)With respect to any Designated Funding Commitment (to the extent loans funded under such Designated Funding Commitment would constitute Indebtedness, or Capital Stock issued pursuant to such Designated Funding Commitment would constitute Disqualified Stock or preferred Capital Stock, in each case, that is subject to Section 10.1), except for purposes of (x) determining the “Commitment Fee Rate,” (y) Section 10.9 (other than for the purpose of determining pro forma compliance with Section 10.9) and (z) determining the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio for purposes of Section 5.2(a)(ii), in each case, the incurrence or issuance of such Indebtedness (and any Lien in connection therewith), Disqualified Stock or preferred Capital Stock, as applicable, by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary provided for under such Designated Funding Commitment shall be deemed to occur (on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to the incurrence or issuance of the entire committed amount thereof (but without netting any cash proceeds thereof)) for purposes of then establishing such Designated Funding Commitment on the date of designation of such commitment as a Designated Funding Commitment and, from and after such designation, so long as such incurrence or issuance is permitted under this Agreement on the date of such designation, Holdings and/or its applicable Restricted Subsidiaries may incur or issue such Indebtedness (including any borrowing, re-borrowing and issuance of letters of credit thereunder) (and any Lien in connection therewith), Disqualified Stock or preferred Capital Stock up to the committed amount thereof so designated under such Designated Funding Commitment without further compliance with, or determination of availability under, any Financial Incurrence Test, Fixed Amount or other Basket under this Agreement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Borrower may revoke any such designation as a Designated Funding Commitment in accordance with the definition thereof at any time and from time to time and (ii) if any such commitments are drawn, such Indebtedness shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of testing any Financial Incurrence Test (other than a Financial Incurrence Test with respect to the permissibility of the incurrence of such Indebtedness under Section 10.1 and Section 10.2 to the extent such Designated Funding Commitments were previously incurred under Section 10.1 and/or Section 10.2).

116

(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.12 or under GAAP, with respect to any Subsidiary or assets or operations of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of which an agreement for the disposition thereof has been entered into, at the election of the Borrower (in its sole discretion), no pro forma effect shall be given to any discontinued operations with respect thereto (and the Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Net Income, Consolidated Total Assets, Consolidated Interest Expense and Indebtedness attributable to any such Subsidiary or assets or operations shall not be excluded under this Agreement) until such Subsidiary or assets or operations are actually disposed of.

1.13 Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Letter of Credit Request related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time. For all purposes of this Agreement, if on any date of determination a Letter of Credit has expired by its terms but any amount may still be drawn thereunder by any reason of the operation of Rule 3.14 of the ISP, such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be “outstanding” in the amount so remaining available to be drawn.

1.14 Alternative Currencies under Revolving Credit Commitments. The Borrower may from time to time request that Revolving Credit Loans to be made and/or Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other Dollars; provided that such requested currency is a lawful currency (other than Dollars) that is readily transferable and readily convertible into Dollars in the London interbank market. Such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Credit Lenders; and, in the case of any such request with respect to the issuance of Letters of Credit, such request shall also be subject to the approval of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer. If the Administrative Agent and all the Revolving Credit Lenders consent to making Revolving Credit Loans in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Credit Lenders, each Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrower may amend the terms of this Agreement to the extent necessary to add the applicable rate for such currency and any applicable adjustment for such rate and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans and if the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer also consents to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances.

1.15 Effect of Certain Inaccuracies. Without limitation of Section 1.2(k), in the event that any financial statement or Compliance Certificate previously delivered pursuant to Section 9.1(d) was inaccurate or was restated (regardless of whether this Agreement or the Commitments are in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, or such restatement would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin or Commitment Fee Rate for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin or Commitment Fee Rate applied for such Applicable Period, as applicable, then (i) the Borrower shall as soon as practicable deliver to the Administrative Agent a corrected or restated financial statement and a corrected or updated Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period, (ii) the Applicable Margin or Commitment Fee Rate shall be determined based on the updated Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period, and (iii) the Borrower shall within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of the corrected or restated financial statements and the updated Compliance Certificate pay to the Administrative Agent the accrued additional interest or fees owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin or Commitment Fee Rate for such Applicable Period. In the event that any calculation of any ECF Payment Amount or the amount of Net Cash Proceeds is inaccurate and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to a payment obligation under Section 5.1(b) (after giving effect to all credits and threshold amounts thereunder), the Borrower shall within fifteen (15) days after the discovery of such inaccuracy, cause an amount equal to such shortfall to be offered for prepayment pursuant to Section 5.1(b), as applicable. This Section 1.15 shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders with respect to Sections 2.8(c) and 11.1; provided that any underpayment due to change in Applicable Margin or Commitment Fee Rate or incorrect calculation of the ECF Payment Amount or the Net Cash Proceeds shall not in itself constitute a Default or Event of Default under Section 11.1 so long as such additional interest or fees are paid within the 15-day period set forth above.

(d)On any Business Day, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, give notice to each Revolving Credit Lender that all then-outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded with a Borrowing of Revolving Loans, in which case Revolving Loans constituting ABR Loans shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) by each Revolving Lender pro rata based on each Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage, and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly to the Swingline Lender to repay the Swingline Lender for such outstanding Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make such Revolving Loans upon one (1) Business Day’s prior notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified to it in writing by the Swingline Lender notwithstanding (i) that the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for each Borrowing specified in Section 2.2, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 7 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing or (v) any reduction in the Total Revolving Commitment after any such Swingline Loans were made. In the event that, in the sole judgment of the Swingline Lender, any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code in respect of the Borrower), each Revolving Credit Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase from the Swingline Lender (without recourse or warranty) such participation of the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Lenders to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages; provided that all principal and interest payable on such Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date the respective participation is purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to such Revolving Lender purchasing same from and after such date of purchase.

(e)If the maturity date shall have occurred in respect of any Class of Revolving Commitments (the “Expiring Credit Commitment”) at a time when another Class or Classes of Revolving Commitments is or are in effect with a longer maturity date (each, a “Non-Expiring Credit Commitment” and, collectively, the “Non-Expiring Credit Commitments”), then with respect to each outstanding Swingline Loan, if consented to by the Swingline Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), on the earliest occurring maturity date such Swingline Loan shall be deemed reallocated to the Class or Classes of the Non-Expiring Credit Commitments on a pro rata basis; provided that (x) to the extent that the amount of such reallocation would cause the aggregate credit exposure to exceed the aggregate amount of such Non-Expiring Credit Commitments, immediately prior to such reallocation the amount of Swingline Loans to be reallocated equal to such excess shall be repaid and (y) notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall still be obligated to pay Swingline Loans allocated to the Revolving Lenders holding the Expiring Credit Commitments at the maturity date of the Expiring Credit Commitment. The sublimit for Swingline Loans may be reduced as agreed between the Swingline Lender and the Borrower, without the consent of any other Person.

120

2.2 Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing; Maximum Number of Borrowings. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Term Loans or Revolving Loans shall be in a minimum amount of at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount for such Type of Loans and (other than with respect to the Borrowing of Revolving Loans on the Second Amendment Effective Date) in a multiple of $100,000 (or, to the extent denominated in an Alternative Currency, the amount to be agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) in excess thereof and Swingline Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $50,000 and in a multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof (except the Mandatory Borrowings shall be made in the amounts required by Section 2.1(d) and Revolving Loans to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to any Unpaid Drawing shall be made in the amounts required by Section 3.3 or Section 3.4, as applicable). More than one Borrowing may be incurred on any date; provided that at no time shall there be outstanding more than fifteen (15) Borrowings of Term SOFR Loans, plus up to an additional three Borrowings in respect of each new Class of Incremental Loans (or, in each case, such greater number as may be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent).

2.3 Notices of Borrowing.

(a)For Borrowings of Initial Term Loans on the Closing Date and any other Term Loans after the Closing Date, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office (i) in the case of ABR Loans, an executed Notice of Borrowing prior to 10:00 a.m. on the Closing Date or the date of the requested Borrowing (as applicable), (ii) in the case of Term SOFR Loans on the Closing Date, an executed Notice of Borrowing prior to 1:00 p.m. at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date, (iii) in the case of Term SOFR Loans after the Closing Date (other than the First Amendment Effective Date and the Second Amendment Effective Date), an executed Notice of Borrowing prior to 1:00 p.m. at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of the requested Borrowing (as applicable) and, (iv) in the case of Term SOFR Loans on the First Amendment Effective Date, an executed Notice of Borrowing prior to 1:00 p.m. at least one (1) Business Day prior to the First Amendment Effective Date (or, in each case, such shorter notice as is approved by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) and (v) in the case of Term SOFR Loans on the Second Amendment Effective Date, an executed Notice of Borrowing prior to 1:00 p.m. at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date (or, in each case, such shorter notice as is approved by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion).

With respect to Term Loans, if no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be (x) so long as such notice was delivered with the advance notice required under Section 2.3(a)(ii) or (a)(iii), a Term SOFR Loan with a one month Interest Period and (y) otherwise, an ABR Loan. If no Interest Period with respect to any Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.3 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s pro rata share of the requested Borrowing.

121

(b)For Borrowings of Revolving Loans on and after the Closing Date (other than Mandatory Borrowings or borrowings to repay Unpaid Drawings), the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office, (i) in the case of ABR Loans, an executed Notice of Borrowing prior to 10:00 a.m. on the Closing Date or the date of the requested Borrowing, (ii) in the case of Term SOFR Loans on the Closing Date, an executed Notice of Borrowing prior to 1:00 p.m. at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date and, (iii) in the case of Term SOFR Loans after the Closing Date, an executed Notice of Borrowing prior to 1:00 p.m. at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of the requested Borrowing (or, in each case, such shorter notice as is approved by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) and (iv) in the case of Term SOFR Loans on the Second Amendment Effective Date, an executed Notice of Borrowing prior to 1:00 p.m. at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date (or, in each case, such shorter notice as is approved by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion). Each such Notice of Borrowing, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.10, shall specify (A) the Class of Revolving Loans to be borrowed, (B) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing, (C) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (D) whether the respective Borrowing shall consist of ABR Loans or Term SOFR Loans and (E) with respect to Revolving Loans that are Term SOFR Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be (x) so long as such notice was delivered with the advance notice required under Section 2.3(b)(ii) or Section 2.3(b)(iii), as the case may be, a Term SOFR Loan with a one month Interest Period and (y) otherwise, an ABR Loan. If no Interest Period with respect to any Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each relevant Revolving Lender written notice of each proposed Borrowing of Revolving Loans of the applicable Class, of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage thereof and of the other matters covered by the related Notice of Borrowing.

(c)Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Swingline Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall give the Swingline Lender an executed Notice of Borrowing with a copy to the Administrative Agent of each Borrowing of Swingline Loans prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date of such Borrowing. Each such notice shall specify (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing and (B) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day).

(d)Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 2.1(d), with the Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in such Section.

(e)Borrowings to reimburse Unpaid Drawings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 3.4(a).

(f)Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any notice it shall give hereunder by telephone (which such obligation is absolute), the Administrative Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower.

(g)The notice in respect of any Loans on the Closing Date, or in connection with any Permitted Acquisition or other acquisition or Investment permitted under this Agreement or in connection with any other conditional event, or in connection with any Borrowing under any Incremental Amendment, Refinancing Amendment, Extension Amendment or amendment in respect of Replacement Term Loans, may be rescinded, or revised to change the requested date for the making of the Loans contemplated thereby, by the Borrower by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent prior to 10:00 a.m. (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may approve in its sole discretion) on the date of the proposed Borrowing.

122

2.4 Disbursement of Funds.

(a)No later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing (including Mandatory Borrowings), each Lender shall make available its pro rata portion, if any, of each Borrowing requested to be made on such date in the manner provided below; provided that on the Closing Date, such funds may be made available at such time as may be agreed among the Lenders, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent for the purpose of consummating the Transactions; provided further, that all Swingline Loans shall be made available to the Borrower in the full amount thereof by the Swingline Lender no later than 5:00 p.m.

(b)Each Lender shall make available all amounts it is to fund to the Borrower under any Borrowing for its applicable Commitments, and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office and the Administrative Agent will (except in the case of Mandatory Borrowings and Borrowings to repay Unpaid Drawings) make available to the Borrower, by depositing to an account or accounts designated by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent the aggregate of the amounts so made available in the currency of the applicable Borrowing. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender in writing prior to the date of any such Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative Agent has made available such amount to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay (or cause to be paid) such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent in the currency of the applicable Borrowing. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Lender, the Overnight Rate or (ii) if paid by the Borrower, the then-applicable rate of interest or fees, calculated in accordance with Section 2.8, for the respective Loans.

(c)Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder).

2.5 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a)The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable 2024 2025 Refinancing Term Loan Lenders, on the 2024 2025 Refinancing Term Loan Maturity Date, the then outstanding 2024 2025 Refinancing Term Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the then outstanding Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Swingline Lender, on the Swingline Maturity Date, the then outstanding Swingline Loans. To the extent applicable, the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the applicable Lenders, on each Maturity Date of any Class of Loans (other than 2024 2025 Refinancing Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans), the then outstanding amount of Loans of such Class.

123

(b)The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the last Business Day of the first fiscal quarter ending after the First Second Amendment Effective Date and ending with the last such Business Day prior to the 2024 2025 Refinancing Term Loan Maturity Date, for the benefit of the 2024 2025 Refinancing Term Loan Lenders, a principal amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of all 2024 2025 Refinancing Term Loans outstanding on the First Second Amendment Effective Date (which amount shall be reduced by the amount of the relevant principal payments or buybacks of the 2024 2025 Refinancing Term Loans that have been made or deemed made in accordance with this Agreement, including as set forth in Section 5.1, Section 5.2(c) and Section 13.6(h)).

(c)In the event that any New Term Loans are made, such New Term Loans shall, subject to Section 2.14(d), be repaid by the Borrower in the amounts and on the dates set forth in the applicable Incremental Amendment, including by amending the repayments under Section 2.5(b) to account for the addition of any New Term Loans to the extent required pursuant to the terms of any applicable Incremental Amendment involving a Term Loan Increase to the 2024 2025 Refinancing Term Loans. In the event that any Extended Term Loans are established, such Extended Term Loans shall, subject to Section 2.14(g), be repaid by the Borrower in the amounts and on the dates set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment. In the event that any Refinancing Term Loans are made, such Refinancing Term Loans shall, subject to Section 2.14(h), be repaid by the Borrower in the amounts and on the dates set forth in the applicable Refinancing Amendment. In the event that any Replacement Term Loans are made, such Replacement Term Loans shall, subject to Section 13.1(f), be repaid by the Borrower in the amounts and on the dates set forth in the applicable amendment to this Agreement in respect of such Replacement Term Loans.

(d)Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower owed to the appropriate lending office of such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such lending office of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such lending office of such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(e)The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 13.6(b), and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, whether such Loan is an Initial Term Loan, 2024 Refinancing Term Loan, 2025 Refinancing Term Loan, New Term Loan, Extended Term Loan, Refinancing Term Loan, Replacement Term Loan, Revolving Credit Loan, Additional Revolving Credit Loan, New Revolving Credit Loan, Extended Revolving Credit Loan, Refinancing Revolving Credit Loan or Swingline Loan, as applicable, the Type of each Loan made, the name of the Borrower and the Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(f)The entries made in the Register and accounts and subaccounts maintained pursuant to clauses (d) and (e) of this Section 2.5 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence, absent manifest error, of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts, such Register or subaccounts, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such entries, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

124

(g)The Borrower hereby agrees that, promptly following the reasonable request of any Lender at any time and from time to time after the Borrower has made an initial borrowing hereunder, the Borrower shall provide to such Lender, at the Borrower’s own expense, a promissory note, substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1 or Exhibit I-2, as applicable, evidencing the applicable Loans owing to such Lender. Thereafter, unless otherwise agreed to by the applicable Lender, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 13.6) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns.

2.6 Conversions and Continuations.

(a)Subject to the third to last sentence of this clause (a), (x) the Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day to convert all or a portion equal to at least $500,000 (or, to the extent denominated in an Alternative Currency, the amount to be agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) (or if such Borrowing is less, the entire remaining applicable amount at such time) of the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans of one Type or Revolving Loans of one Type into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type and (y) the Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day to continue all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Term SOFR Loans as Term SOFR Loans for an additional Interest Period; provided that (i) no partial conversion of Term SOFR Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of such Term SOFR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount, (ii) Borrowings resulting from conversions pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be limited in number as provided in Section 2.2 and (iii) if less than a full Borrowing of Revolving Loans is converted, such conversion shall be made pro rata among the Lenders based upon their Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the applicable Class or Classes in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Revolving Loans comprising such Borrowing held by such Lenders immediately prior to such conversion. Each such conversion or continuation shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office prior to 3:00 p.m. at least (i) three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice, in the case of a continuation of or conversion to Term SOFR Loans (other than in the case of a notice delivered on the First Second Amendment Effective Date, which shall be deemed to be effective on the First Second Amendment Effective Date), or (ii) one (1) Business Day prior written notice in the case of a conversion into ABR Loans (each, a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation” substantially in the form of Exhibit J) specifying the Loans to be so converted or continued, the Type of Loans to be converted or continued into and, if such Loans are to be converted into or continued as Term SOFR Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation of a Term SOFR Loan, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected a Term SOFR Loan, with an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall give each applicable Lender notice as promptly as practicable of any such proposed conversion or continuation affecting any of its Loans.

(b)If upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of Term SOFR Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable thereto as provided in clause (a) above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to continue such Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans as Term SOFR Loans, with an Interest Period of one month, effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

125

2.7 Pro Rata Borrowings. Each Borrowing of Term Loans or Revolving Loans of any Class under this Agreement shall be made by the applicable Lenders pro rata on the basis of their then-applicable Commitments with respect to such Class. It is understood that (a) no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender severally but not jointly shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder and (b) other than as expressly provided herein with respect to a Defaulting Lender, failure by a Lender to perform any of its obligations under any of the Credit Documents shall not release any Person from performance of its obligations under any Credit Document.

2.8 Interest.

(a)The unpaid principal amount of each ABR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable Margin for ABR Loans plus the ABR in effect from time to time.

(b)The unpaid principal amount of each Term SOFR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable Margin for Term SOFR Loans plus the relevant Term SOFR.

(c)If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan or (ii) any interest payable thereon shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise but after giving effect to any grace period set forth herein), during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 11.1, such overdue amount (other than on overdue amounts owed to Defaulting Lenders) shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is (the “Default Rate”) (x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto plus 2.00% or (y) in the case of overdue interest, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the rate described in Section 2.8(a)plus 2.00% from the date of such non-payment to the date on which such interest amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

(d)Interest on each Loan shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same date on which it is made shall bear interest for one day. Except as provided below, interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each ABR Loan, quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December; provided that interest shall also be payable on any Term Loans that are ABR Loans on the date of any prepayment of principal with respect to such Term Loans, (ii) in respect of each Term SOFR Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three-month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, and (iii) in respect of each Loan, (A) on any prepayment in respect of Term SOFR Loans, (B) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and (C) after such maturity, on demand.

(e)All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 5.5.

(f)The Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans, shall promptly notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

2.9 Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into or continuation as, a Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice of the Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower be a one month, three month or six month period (or if agreed to by all the Lenders making such Term SOFR Loans, a twelve month period or any other period).; provided that, the initial Interest Period with respect to the 2025 Refinancing Term Loans and Revolving Loans borrowed on the Second Amendment Effective Date (which Interest Period shall commence on the Second Amendment Effective Date) may end on August 31, 2025.

126

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above:

(a)the initial Interest Period for any Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any conversion from a Borrowing of ABR Loans) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

(b)if any Interest Period relating to a Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month or begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period; and

(c)if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided that if any Interest Period in respect of a Term SOFR Loan would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the immediately preceding Business Day.

2.10 Increased Costs, Illegality, Etc.

(a)In the event that (x) in the case of clause (i) below, the Administrative Agent and (y) in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) below, the Required Facility Lenders shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):

(i)on any date for determining the Term SOFR for any Interest Period, that by reason of any changes arising on or after the Closing Date affecting the Term SOFR market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definitions of “Term SOFR”; or

(ii)at any time after the Closing Date, that any Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder or under any Credit Document with respect to any Term SOFR Loans (including any increased costs or reductions attributable to Taxes, other than any increase or reduction attributable to (I) Indemnified Taxes, (II) Excluded Taxes or (III) Other Taxes), as applicable, because of any Change in Law; or

(iii)at any time, that the making or continuance of any Term SOFR Loan has become unlawful by compliance by Lenders of the applicable Credit Facility in good faith with any law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Closing Date that materially and adversely affects the Term SOFR market, as applicable, and the applicable Lenders are treating all similarly situated Persons under comparable syndicated credit facilities similar to the Credit Facilities in the same fashion;

127

(in each case above, such Loans, “Impacted Loans”), then, and in any such event, such Required Facility Lenders (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall within a reasonable time thereafter give written notice to the Borrower and, in the case of such notice by the Required Facility Lenders, to the Administrative Agent, of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, Term SOFR Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist (which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to give at such time when such circumstances no longer exist), and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by the Borrower with respect to Term SOFR Loans that have not yet been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall pay to such Lenders, promptly after receipt of written demand therefor such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Required Facility Lenders in their reasonable discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lenders for such actual increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (it being agreed that a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lenders, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lenders shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), and (z) in the case of subclause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in subclause (x) or (y), as applicable, of Section2.10(b) promptly and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to clause (d) below, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in Section 2.10(a)(i), the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower and the affected Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (x) of the first sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, (2) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower or the applicable Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender reasonably determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Borrower written notice thereof. The parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy any applicable IRS guidance so that the determination of the alternative interest rate will not be treated as a deemed exchange under Section 1001 of the Code.

(b)At any time that any Term SOFR Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrower may (and in the case of a Term SOFR Loan affected pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall) either (x) if a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation with respect to the affected Term SOFR Loan has been submitted pursuant to Section 2.3 or Section 2.6, as applicable, but the affected Term SOFR Loan has not been funded or continued, cancel such requested Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent written notice thereof on the same date that the Borrower was notified by Lenders pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), as applicable, or (y) if the affected Term SOFR Loan is then outstanding, in the case of an affected Term SOFR Loan, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert each such Term SOFR Loan into an ABR Loan; provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated in the same manner pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

(c)If, after the Closing Date, any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy or liquidity of any Lender or compliance by any Lender or its parent with any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy or liquidity occurring after the Closing Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the actual rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent’s or its Affiliate’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its parent or its Affiliate could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its parent’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time, promptly following written demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such actual additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its parent for such actual reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that a Lender shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Lender’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any law, rule or regulation as in effect on the Closing Date or to the extent such Lender is not imposing such charges on, or requesting such compensation from, borrowers (similarly situated to the Borrower hereunder) under comparable syndicated credit facilities similar to the Credit Facilities. Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not, subject to Section 2.13, release or diminish the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) promptly following receipt of such notice.

(d)Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

(ii)In connection with the administration of Term SOFR or the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time (with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)) and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

(iii)The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent in consultation with, or subject to consent rights of, the Borrower as expressly set forth in this Section 2.10(d), 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 Credit Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.10(d).

129

(iv)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), then the Administrative Agent may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings and (ii) the Administrative Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings.

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

2.11 [Reserved].

2.12 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii), 2.10(a)(iii), 2.10(c), 3.5 or 5.4 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event in order to mitigate the effects of such event on Borrower and its Subsidiaries; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no unreimbursed cost or other material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Section 2.10, 3.5 or 5.4.

2.13 Notice of Certain Costs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any notice required by Section 2.10, or 3.5 is given by any Lender more than 120 days after the date such Lender has knowledge (or should have had knowledge) of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, or other additional amounts described in such Sections, such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation under Section 2.10, or 3.5, as the case may be, for any such amounts incurred or accruing prior to the 121st day prior to the giving of such notice to the Borrower.

2.14 Incremental Facilities; Extensions; Refinancing Facilities.

(a)The Borrower or any Credit Party may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more (x) additional term loans, which may be of the same Class as any then-existing Term Loans (a “Term Loan Increase”) or a separate Class of Term Loans (in each case, the commitments for additional term loans of the same Class or a separate Class, collectively, the “New Term Loan Commitments”) and/or (y) revolving credit commitments, which may be of the same Class as any then-existing Class of Revolving Commitments (the commitments thereto, the “New Revolving Credit Commitments”) or a separate Class of Revolving Commitments (the commitments thereto, the “Additional Revolving Credit Commitments” and, together with the New Revolving Credit Commitments, the “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments”; together with the New Term Loan Commitments, the “New Loan Commitments”), by an aggregate principal amount not in excess of the Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount at the time of incurrence thereof and not less than $5,000,000 individually (or such lesser amount as (x) may be approved by the Administrative Agent or (y) shall constitute the Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount at such time). Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower or applicable Credit Party proposes that the New Loan Commitments shall be effective. The Borrower or any applicable Credit Party may approach any Lender or any Person (other than a natural Person or a Disqualified Lender) to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Loans or New Loan Commitments; provided that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Loans or New Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Loans or New Loan Commitments, and the Credit Parties shall have no obligation to approach any existing Lender to provide any Incremental Loan or New Loan Commitment. In each case, such Incremental Loans or New Loan Commitments shall become effective as of the applicable Increased Amount Date; provided that, subject to Section 1.12(f), (i) (x) other than as described in the immediately succeeding clause (y), no Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date immediately before or immediately after giving effect to such New Loan Commitments or (y) if such Incremental Loan or New Loan Commitment is being provided in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, Permitted Acquisition or any other acquisition constituting a permitted Investment, then no Specified Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date, (ii) in connection with any incurrence of Incremental Loans or establishment of New Loan Commitments, on an Increased Amount Date, there shall be no requirement for the Borrower or applicable Credit Party to make the representations and warranties under the Credit Documents unless and until requested by the Persons holding more than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Incremental Loans or New Loan Commitments (provided that such Persons may, in lieu of requesting the making of all representations and warranties under the Credit Documents, request that only the Specified Representations (conformed as necessary for such acquisition or investment) shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects) and (iii) the New Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Loans shall be effected pursuant to one or more applicable amendments to this Agreement (each, an “Incremental Amendment”) executed and delivered by the Borrower and the applicable Lenders providing such Incremental Loans or New Loan Commitments and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register and shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 5.4(e). The Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent prompt written notice of any Incremental Amendment pursuant to this Section 2.14 and the Administrative Agent hereby agrees to (and is directed by each Lender to) acknowledge such Incremental Amendment as promptly as practicable following such written notice; it being acknowledged and agreed by each Lender that the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, shall have no liability with respect to such acknowledgment and each Lender hereby irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by any law any claims with respect to such acknowledgment; provided that failure to obtain such acknowledgment shall in no way affect the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment. No Lender shall have any obligation to provide any Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14(a). Incremental Loans may be denominated in Dollars or any Alternative Currency. For all purposes of this Agreement, (a) any New Term Loans made on an Increased Amount Date shall be designated (x) a separate series of Term Loans or (y) in the case of a Term Loan Increase, a part of the series of existing Term Loans subject to such increase and (b) any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments made on an Increased Amount Date shall be designated (x) a separate series of Revolving Credit Commitments or (y) in the case of a New Revolving Credit Commitment, a part of the series of existing Revolving Credit Commitments subject to such increase (such new or existing series of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, each, a “Series”).

131

(b)On any Increased Amount Date on which Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the foregoing terms and conditions, (x) with respect to New Revolving Credit Commitments, each of the Revolving Lenders with an existing Revolving Commitment of the same Class being increased by such New Revolving Credit Commitments shall automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Revolving Lender with a New Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class (each, a “New Revolving Loan Lender”), and each of such New Revolving Loan Lenders shall automatically and without further act be deemed to have purchased and assumed, (i) a portion of such Revolving Lender’s participations under the applicable Class of Revolving Commitments in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans, so that after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption and participation, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations under such Class of Revolving Commitments in such Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans, as applicable, held by each Revolving Lender of such Class (including each such New Revolving Loan Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Commitments of such Class held by each such Lender and (ii) at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Revolving Loans of such Class outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and assumptions, the Revolving Loans of such Class will be held by existing Revolving Lenders under such Class and New Revolving Loan Lenders under such Class ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments of such Class after giving effect to the addition of such New Revolving Credit Commitments to such existing Revolving Commitments (the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to this clause (x)) and (y) with respect to any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment (regardless of whether constituting Additional Revolving Credit Commitment or New Revolving Credit Commitment), (i) each such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Commitment and each loan made under a New Revolving Credit Commitment (each, a “New Revolving Credit Loan”) and each loan made under an Additional Revolving Credit Commitment (each, an “Additional Revolving Credit Loan” and, together with New Revolving Credit Loans, the “Incremental Revolving Credit Loans”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, Revolving Loans and (ii) each New Revolving Loan Lender and each Revolving Lender with an Additional Revolving Credit Commitment (each, an “Additional Revolving Loan Lender” and, together with the New Revolving Loan Lenders, the “Incremental Revolving Loan Lenders”) shall become a Revolving Lender with respect to the applicable Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment and all matters relating thereto; provided that the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and any applicable Letter of Credit Issuer shall have consented (in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, denied or delayed) to such Incremental Revolving Loan Lender’s providing such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under Section 13.6(b) for an assignment of Revolving Loans or Commitments with respect thereto, as applicable, to such Incremental Revolving Loan Lender.

(c)On any Increased Amount Date on which any New Term Loan Commitments are effective, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each Lender with a New Term Loan Commitment (each, a “New Term Loan Lender”) shall make a term loan (or provide delayed draw term loan commitments in respect thereof) to the Borrower or applicable Credit Party (a “New Term Loan” and, together with the Incremental Revolving Credit Loans, the “Incremental Loans”) in an amount equal to its New Term Loan Commitment and (ii) each New Term Loan Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the applicable New Term Loan Commitment and, when funded, the New Term Loans made pursuant thereto. The Borrower or applicable Credit Party shall use the proceeds, if any, of the Incremental Loans for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement and as agreed by the Borrower or applicable Credit Party and the lender(s) providing such Incremental Loans.

132

133

(v)all other terms of any New Term Loans (other than as described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)above) may differ from the terms of the the 2024 2025 Refinancing Term Loans if reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the lender(s) providing such New Term Loans; provided that if such terms would be favorable to existing Lenders, such terms may be at the option of the Borrower, in consultation with the Administrative Agent, incorporated into this Agreement for the benefit of the applicable existing Lenders without further amendment requirements (including, for the avoidance of doubt, at the option of the Borrower, any increase in the applicable yield relating to any existing Term Loan to achieve “fungibility” with such existing Term Loan).

135

(g)(i) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans or Term Loan Commitments of any Class (an “Existing Term Loan Class”) be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans (or Term Loans to be made under the applicable Term Loan Commitments) (any such Term Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.14(g). In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Term Loan Class which such request shall be offered equally to all such Lenders) (a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall either, at the option of the Borrower, (A) reflect market terms and conditions (taken as a whole) at the time of incurrence or issuance (as determined in good faith by the Borrower) or (B) if not consistent with the terms of the applicable Existing Term Loan Class, shall not be materially more restrictive to the Credit Parties (as determined in good faith by the Borrower), when taken as a whole, than the terms of the Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class unless (x) the Lenders of the Term Loans of such applicable Existing Term Loan Class receive the benefit of such more restrictive terms or (y) any such provisions apply after the 2024 2025 Refinancing Term Loan Maturity Date; provided that (1) the scheduled final maturity date shall be extended and all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class (with any such delay resulting in a corresponding adjustment to the scheduled amortization payments reflected in Section 2.5 or in the Incremental Amendment, as the case may be, with respect to the Existing Term Loan Class from which such Extended Term Loans were converted, in each case as more particularly set forth in Section 2.14(g)(iv)), (2)(A) pricing, fees, optional prepayment or redemption terms shall be determined by the Borrower and the interest margins and floors with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be higher or lower than the interest margins and floors for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class and/or (B) additional fees, premiums or AHYDO Payments may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition to or in lieu of any increased margins and floors contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, (3) the Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis, greater than pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis in any voluntary prepayment of any Class of Term Loans hereunder and may participate on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis (but, except with respect to any Class of Term Loans that matures prior to the 2024 2025 Refinancing Term Loan Maturity Date or as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments of any Class of Term Loans hereunder, (4) Extended Term Loans may have call protection and redemption terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and (5) no consent shall be required by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Class converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Extended Term Loans of any Extension Series shall constitute a separate Class of Term Loans from the Existing Term Loan Class from which they were converted; provided that any Extended Term Loans converted from an Existing Term Loan Class may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any then outstanding Class of Term Loans other than the Existing Term Loan Class from which such Extended Term Loans were converted (in which case scheduled amortization with respect thereto shall be proportionally increased).

(ii)The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Revolving Commitments of any Class, each existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Revolving Credit Commitment” and any related Revolving Loans thereunder, “Existing Revolving Credit Loans”; each Existing Revolving Credit Commitment and related Existing Revolving Credit Loans together being referred to as an “Existing Revolving Credit Class”) be converted to extend the termination date thereof and the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of Revolving Loans related to such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments (any such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments which have been so extended, “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments” and any related Revolving Loans, “Extended Revolving Credit Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.14(g). In order to establish any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Class of Existing Revolving Credit Commitments which such request shall be offered equally to all such Lenders) (a “Revolving Credit Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments to be established, which, shall either, at the option of the Borrower, (A) reflect market terms and conditions (taken as a whole) at the time of incurrence or issuance (as determined in good faith by the Borrower) or (B) if not consistent with the terms of the applicable Existing Revolving Credit Commitments, shall not be materially more restrictive to the Credit Parties (as determined in good faith by the Borrower), when taken as a whole, than the terms of such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments (the “Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment”) unless (x) the Lenders providing Existing Revolving Credit Loans receive the benefit of such more restrictive terms or (y) any such provisions apply after the latest maturity date of any Revolving Commitments then outstanding under this Agreement, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided that (w) all or any of the final maturity dates of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be delayed to later dates than the final maturity dates of the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments, (x) (A) the interest margins and floors with respect to the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be higher or lower than the interest margins and floors for the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments and/or (B) additional fees and premiums may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments in addition to or in lieu of any increased margins and floors contemplated by the preceding clause (A) and (y) the commitment fee rate with respect to the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be higher or lower than the commitment fee rate for the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14(g) or otherwise, (1) borrowing and repayment (except for (I) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings), (II) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, and (III) repayments made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of Extended Revolving Credit Loans with respect to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis, or with respect to any borrowing, on a greater than pro rata basis (but not less than pro rata basis) and with respect to any repayment, on a less than pro rata basis or greater than pro rata basis, with all other Revolving Commitments in existence on Extension Date and (2) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and Extended Revolving Credit Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Credit Commitments and the Revolving Credit Loans related to such Commitments set forth in Section 13.6. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments of any Existing Revolving Credit Class converted into Extended Revolving Credit Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to any Revolving Credit Loan Extension Request. Any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of any Extension Series shall constitute a separate Class of revolving credit commitments from the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments converted from an Existing Revolving Credit Class may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any then outstanding Class of Revolving Commitments other than the Existing Revolving Credit Class from which such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments were converted.

137

(iii)Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans or Revolving Commitment of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to such Extension Request converted into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans or Revolving Commitments of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to such Extension Request that it has elected to convert into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable. In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans or Revolving Commitments of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments included in each such Extension Election. Notwithstanding the conversion of any Existing Revolving Credit Commitment into an Extended Revolving Credit Commitment, such Extended Revolving Credit Commitment shall be treated identically to all then-outstanding Revolving Commitments for purposes of the obligations of a Revolving Lender in respect of Swingline Loans under Section 2.1(d) and Letters of Credit under Section 3, except that the applicable Extension Amendment may provide that the Swingline Maturity Date and/or the L/C Facility Maturity Date may be extended and the related obligations to make Swingline Loans and issue Letters of Credit may be continued so long as the Swingline Lender and/or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, have consented to such extensions in their sole discretion (it being understood that no consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection with any such extension).

(iv)Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the last sentence of this Section 2.14(g)(iv) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 13.1, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, established thereby) executed by the Borrower, the Extending Lenders and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent (it being understood that failure by the Administrative Agent to acknowledge such Extension Amendment shall not impact the effectiveness thereof). No Extension Amendment shall provide for any Class of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments in an aggregate principal amount that is less than $5,000,000 or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion (or, to the extent denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount to be agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) (it being understood that the actual principal amount thereof provided by the applicable Lenders may be lower than such minimum amount), and the Borrower may condition the effectiveness of any Extension Amendment on an Extension Minimum Condition, which may be waived by the Borrower in its sole discretion. In addition to any terms and changes required or permitted by Section 2.14(g)(i), each Extension Amendment (x) shall amend the scheduled amortization payments pursuant to Section 2.5 or the applicable Extension Amendment with respect to the Existing Term Loan Class from which the Extended Term Loans were converted to reduce each scheduled amortization payment, if any, for the Existing Term Loan Class in the same proportion as the amount of Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class is to be converted pursuant to such Extension Amendment (it being understood that the amount of any scheduled amortization, if any, payable with respect to any individual Term Loan of such Existing Term Loan Class that is not an Extended Term Loan shall not be reduced as a result thereof) and (y) may, but shall not be required to, impose additional requirements (not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement in effect at such time) with respect to the final maturity and Weighted Average Life to Maturity of New Term Loans incurred following the date of such Extension Amendment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14(g) and without limiting the generality or applicability of Section 13.1 to any Section 2.14 Additional Amendments, any Extension Amendment may provide for additional terms and/or additional amendments other than those referred to or contemplated above (any such additional amendment, a “Section 2.14 Additional Amendment”) to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; provided that such Section 2.14 Additional Amendments are within the requirements of Section 2.14(g)(i) and Section 2.14(g)(ii) and do not become effective prior to the time that such Section 2.14 Additional Amendments have been consented to (including pursuant to (1) consents applicable to holders of New Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments provided for in any Incremental Amendment and (2) consents applicable to holders of any Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments provided for in any Extension Amendment) by such of the Lenders, Credit Parties and other parties (if any) as may be required in order for such Section 2.14 Additional Amendments to become effective in accordance with Section 13.1.

138

(v)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (A) on any date on which any Existing Class is converted to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with clause (g)(i) and/or clause (g)(ii) above (an “Extension Date”), (I) in the case of the existing Term Loans of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such existing Term Loans shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Term Loans so converted by such Lender on such date, and the Extended Term Loans shall be established as a separate Class of Term Loans; provided that any Extended Term Loans converted from an Existing Term Loan Class may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any then outstanding Class of Term Loans other than the Existing Term Loan Class from which such Extended Term Loans were converted (in which case scheduled amortization with respect thereto shall be proportionally increased), and (II) in the case of the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments so converted by such Lender on such date, and such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be established as a separate Class of revolving credit commitments from the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments converted from an Existing Revolving Credit Class may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any then outstanding Class of Revolving Credit Commitments other than the Existing Revolving Credit Class from which such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments were converted and (B) if, on any Extension Date, any Loans of any Extending Lender are outstanding under the applicable Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments, such Loans (and any related participations) shall be deemed to be allocated as Extended Revolving Credit Loans (and related participations) and Existing Revolving Credit Loans (and related participations) in the same proportion as such Extending Lender’s Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments.

139

(vi)The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.14(g) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees, or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Amendment) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including any pro rata payment or amendment section) or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit or restrict any such extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.14.

(vii)No conversion of Loans pursuant to any extension in accordance with this Section 2.14(g) shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.

(h)The Credit Parties may, at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (a “Refinancing Loan Request”), request (A) (i) the establishment of one or more new Classes of term loans under this Agreement (any such new Class, “New Refinancing Term Loan Commitments”) or (ii) increases to one or more existing Classes of Term Loans under this Agreement (any such increase to an existing Class, collectively with New Refinancing Term Loan Commitments, “Refinancing Term Loan Commitments”), or (B) (i) the establishment of one or more new Classes of revolving credit commitments under this Agreement (any such new Class, “New Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments”) or (ii) increases to one or more existing Classes of Revolving Commitments (any such increase to an existing Class, collectively with the New Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments, “Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments” and, collectively with any Refinancing Term Loan Commitments, “Refinancing Commitments”), in each case, established in exchange for, or to extend, renew, replace, repurchase, retire or refinance, in whole or in part, as selected by the Borrower, any one or more then existing Class or Classes of Loans or Commitments (with respect to a particular Refinancing Commitment or Refinancing Loan, such existing Loans or Commitments, “Refinanced Debt”), whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of each such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Class.

(i)Any Refinancing Term Loans made pursuant to New Refinancing Term Loan Commitments or any New Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments made on a Refinancing Facility Closing Date shall be designated a separate Class of Refinancing Term Loans or Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement unless designated as a part of an existing Class of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments in accordance with this Section 2.14(h). On any Refinancing Facility Closing Date on which any Refinancing Term Loan Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the terms and conditions in this Section 2.14(h), (x) each Refinancing Term Lender with such Refinancing Term Loan Commitments shall make a term loan to the Borrower (each, a “Refinancing Term Loan”), or provide delayed draw term commitments, in an amount equal to its Refinancing Term Loan Commitment and (y) each Refinancing Term Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to its Refinancing Term Loan Commitment and the Refinancing Term Loans made pursuant thereto. On any Refinancing Facility Closing Date on which any Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the terms and conditions in this Section 2.14(h), (x) each Refinancing Revolving Credit Lender with such Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments shall make its Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitment available to the Borrower (when borrowed, a “Refinancing Revolving Credit Loan” and collectively with any Refinancing Term Loan, a “Refinancing Loan”) and (y) each Refinancing Revolving Credit Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to its Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitment and the Refinancing Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant thereto.

140

(ii)Each Refinancing Loan Request from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.14(h) shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Refinancing Term Loan Commitments or Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments and identify the Refinanced Debt with respect thereto. Refinancing Term Loan Commitments may be made, and Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments may be provided, by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender will have an obligation to make any Refinancing Commitment, nor will the Borrower have any obligation to approach any existing Lender to provide any Refinancing Commitment) or by any Additional Lender (each such existing Lender or Additional Lender providing such Commitment or Loan, a “Refinancing Revolving Credit Lender” or “Refinancing Term Lender,” as applicable, and, collectively, “Refinancing Lenders”); provided that (x) with respect to any Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall have consented (in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, denied or delayed) to such Additional Lender’s providing such Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under Section 13.6(b) for an assignment of Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, to such Additional Lender, (y) with respect to Refinancing Term Loans, any Affiliated Lender providing a Refinancing Term Loan Commitment shall be subject to the same restrictions set forth in Sections 13.6(h)(ii) and (iii) as it would otherwise be subject to with respect to any purchase by or assignment to such Affiliated Lender of Term Loans and (z) Affiliated Lenders may not provide Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments.

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

(A)each Refinancing Commitment shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000 (or, to the extent denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount to be agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent), or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may agree to in its reasonable discretion (provided that such amount may be less than $5,000,000 (or, to the extent denominated in an Alternative Currency, such minimum amount determined by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) if such amount is equal to (x) the entire outstanding principal amount of Refinanced Debt that is in the form of Term Loans or (y) the entire outstanding principal amount of Refinanced Debt (or commitments) that is in the form of Revolving Credit Commitments), and

(B)the Refinancing Term Loans made pursuant to any increase in any existing Class of Term Loans shall be added to (and form part of) each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans under the respective Class so incurred on a pro rata basis (based on the principal amount of each Borrowing) so that each Lender under such Class will participate proportionately in each then outstanding Borrowing of Term Loans under such Class.

141

(iv)Upon any Refinancing Facility Closing Date on which Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments are effected, (x) there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans held by each Revolving Lender under the Revolving Commitments so that each such Revolving Lender shares ratably in such participations in accordance with its Revolving Commitments (after giving effect to the establishment of such Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments), (y) each Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Commitment and each Refinancing Revolving Credit Loan made thereunder shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan and (z) each Refinancing Revolving Credit Lender shall become a Lender with respect to such Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments and all matters relating thereto. Upon any Refinancing Facility Closing Date on which Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments are effected through the establishment of a new Class of Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14(h), if, on such date, there are any Revolving Loans under any other Revolving Commitments then outstanding, such Revolving Loans shall be prepaid from the proceeds of a new Borrowing of the Refinancing Revolving Credit Loans under such new Class of Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments in such amounts as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to such Borrowing and all such related prepayments, all Revolving Loans under all Revolving Commitments will be held by all Revolving Lenders with Revolving Commitments (including Lenders providing such Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments) ratably (or, at the election of the Borrower, on a greater than pro rata basis with respect to Borrowings under the Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments as compared to other Classes of Revolving Commitments) in accordance with all of their respective Revolving Commitments of all Classes (after giving effect to the establishment of such Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments). Upon any Refinancing Facility Closing Date on which Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments are effected through the increase to any existing Class of Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14(h), if, on the date of such increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding under such Class of Revolving Commitments being increased, each of the Revolving Lenders under such Class shall automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each of the Refinancing Revolving Credit Lenders under such Class, and each of such Refinancing Revolving Credit Lenders shall automatically and without further act be deemed to have purchased and assumed, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Revolving Loans of such Class outstanding on such Refinancing Facility Closing Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and assumptions, such Revolving Loans of such Class will be held by existing Revolving Lenders under such Class and Refinancing Revolving Credit Lenders under such Class ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments of such Class after giving effect to the addition of such Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments to such existing Revolving Commitments under such Class. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the two preceding sentences.

(v)The terms, provisions and documentation of the Refinancing Term Loans and Refinancing Term Loan Commitments or the Refinancing Revolving Credit Loans and Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, of any Class shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Refinancing Lenders providing such Refinancing Commitments and Refinancing Loans, and except as otherwise set forth herein, to the extent not identical to (or constituting a part of) any Class of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, each existing on the Refinancing Facility Closing Date, shall be consistent with clauses (A) or (B) below, as applicable, and otherwise, shall either, at the option of the Borrower, (x) reflect market terms and conditions (taken as a whole) at the time of incurrence or issuance (as determined by the Borrower) or (y) if not consistent with the terms of the corresponding Class of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, not be materially more restrictive to the Borrower (as determined by the Borrower), when taken as a whole, than the terms of the applicable Class of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments being refinanced or replaced (except (1) covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Maturity Date (as of the applicable Refinancing Facility Closing Date) of such Class being refinanced and (2) pricing (as to which neither the MFN Adjustment nor any other “most-favored nation” provision shall apply), fees, rate floors, premiums, optional prepayment or redemption terms (which shall be determined by the Borrower)) unless the Lenders under the Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, each existing on the Refinancing Facility Closing Date, receive the benefit of such more restrictive terms. In any event:

142

(A)the Refinancing Term Loans and the Refinancing Term Loan Commitments:

(1)(I) shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment with the 2024 2025 Refinancing Term Loans and (II) shall be (1) unsecured, (2) not secured by any assets constituting the Collateral (if the Refinanced Debt is not secured by any assets constituting the Collateral) or (3) secured by the assets of the Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or any other Person; provided that any such Liens on the Collateral under this sub-clause (3) shall rank on a pari passu or junior basis in right of security on the Collateral (and, if secured and applicable, shall be subject to a subordination agreement and/or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Pari Intercreditor Agreement or any other lien subordination and intercreditor agreement or arrangement reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and, at the request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver any such other agreement or arrangement that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower));

(2)other than Indebtedness incurred pursuant to the Inside Maturity Basket, as of the Refinancing Facility Closing Date, shall not have a Maturity Date earlier than the Maturity Date of the Refinanced Debt;

(3)shall have an amortization schedule as determined by the Borrower and the applicable new Refinancing Term Lenders; provided that, as of the Refinancing Facility Closing Date, other than Indebtedness incurred pursuant to the Inside Maturity Basket, such Refinancing Term Loans shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity not shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Refinanced Debt on the date of incurrence of such Refinancing Term Loans;

(4)shall have an Effective Yield determined by the Borrower and the applicable Refinancing Term Lenders;

(5)may provide for the ability to participate on a pro rata basis or less than or greater than a pro rata basis in any voluntary repayments or prepayments of principal of Term Loans hereunder and on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis (but, except with respect to any Class of Refinancing Term Loans that mature prior to the 2024 2025 Refinancing Term Loan Maturity Date or has a shorter Weighted Average Life to Maturity than the 2024 2025 Refinancing Term Loan or as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any mandatory repayments or prepayments of principal of Term Loans hereunder;

143

(6)unless otherwise permitted hereby (including utilization of any other available baskets or incurrence based amounts as permitted hereunder), shall not have a greater principal amount than the principal amount of the Refinanced Debt (plus the amount of any unused commitments thereunder), plus accrued interest, fees, defeasance costs and premium (including call and tender premiums), if any, under the Refinanced Debt, plus underwriting discounts, fees, commissions and expenses (including original issue discount, unused commitment fees, upfront fees and similar items) in connection with the refinancing of such Refinanced Debt and the incurrence or issuance of such Refinancing Term Loans; and

(7)unless constituting Designated Alternative Security Indebtedness, shall not be guaranteed by any Subsidiary other than a Credit Party (it being understood that obligations of any Person with respect to any escrow arrangement into which such Refinancing Term Loan proceeds are deposited shall not constitute a guarantee by a Person that is not a Credit Party);

(B)the Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Credit Loans:

(1)(I) shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and (II) shall be pari passu or junior in right of security with the Revolving Credit Loans or be unsecured and, if secured, shall not be secured by assets of the Credit Parties other than the Collateral (and, if applicable, shall be subject to a subordination agreement and/or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Pari Intercreditor Agreement or any other lien subordination and intercreditor agreement or arrangement reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and, at the request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver any such other agreement or arrangement that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower));

(2)other than Indebtedness incurred pursuant to the Inside Maturity Basket, as of the Refinancing Facility Closing Date, shall not mature earlier than, or provide for mandatory scheduled commitment reductions prior to, the maturity date with respect to the Refinanced Debt;

(3)shall provide that the borrowing and repayment (except for (I) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings), (II) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of the Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments and (III) repayments made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of Revolving Credit Loans with respect to Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments after the associated Refinancing Facility Closing Date shall be made on a pro rata basis, or, with respect to any borrowing, on a greater than pro rata basis (but not less than pro rata basis) or, with respect to any repayment, on a less than pro rata basis or greater than pro rata basis, with all other Revolving Credit Commitments existing on the Refinancing Facility Closing Date;

144

(4)[reserved];

(5)shall have an Effective Yield determined by the Borrower and the applicable Refinancing Revolving Credit Lenders;

(6)except as otherwise permitted hereby (including utilization of any other available baskets or incurrence based amounts as permitted hereunder), shall not have a greater principal amount of Commitments than the principal amount of the utilized Commitments of the Refinanced Debt (plus the amount of any unused commitments thereunder), plus accrued interest, fees, defeasance costs and premium (including call and tender premiums), if any, under the Refinanced Debt, plus underwriting discounts, fees, commissions and expenses (including original issue discount, upfront fees and similar items) in connection with the refinancing of such Refinanced Debt and the incurrence or issuance of such Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments or Refinancing Revolving Credit Loans; and

(7)unless constituting Designated Alternative Security Indebtedness, may not be guaranteed by any Subsidiary other than a Credit Party (it being understood that obligations of any Person with respect to any escrow arrangement into which such Refinancing Revolving Credit Loan proceeds are deposited shall not constitute a guarantee by a Person that is not a Credit Party).

(vi)Commitments in respect of Refinancing Term Loan Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments shall become additional Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (a “Refinancing Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Credit Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Refinancing Lender providing such Commitments and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent (it being understood that failure by the Administrative Agent to acknowledge such Refinancing Amendment shall not impact the effectiveness thereof). The Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Credit Party, Agent or Lender, (x) effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.14(h) and (y) at the option of the Borrower in consultation with the Administrative Agent, incorporate terms that would be favorable to existing Lenders of the applicable Class or Classes for the benefit of such existing Lenders of the applicable Class or Classes including, for the avoidance of doubt, any increase in the applicable yield relating to any existing Class of Term Loans to achieve fungibility for U.S. federal income tax purposes with any existing Class of Term Loans. In addition, if required to consummate a Refinancing Term Loan Commitments or Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments, the pricing, interest rate margins, rate floors, undrawn fees and premiums on the applicable Credit Facility being increased may be increased or extended but additional upfront fees, original issue discount or similar fees may be payable to the Lenders participating in any such Refinancing Term Loan Commitments or Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments without any requirement to pay such amounts to any existing Lenders. The Borrower will use the proceeds, if any, of the Refinancing Term Loans and Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments in exchange for, or to extend, renew, replace, repurchase, retire or refinance, and shall permanently terminate applicable commitments under, substantially concurrently, the applicable Refinanced Debt and pay any accrued interest, fees and other expenses incurred in connection with the Refinancing Amendment.

145

(vii)The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.14(h) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees, or premium in respect of any Refinanced Debt on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Refinancing Amendment) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including any pro rata payment or amendment section) or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit or restrict any such refinancing or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.14.

2.15 Permitted Debt Exchanges.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, a “Permitted Debt Exchange Offer”) made from time to time by a Credit Party, the Borrower or any other Credit Party may from time to time following the Closing Date consummate one or more exchanges of Term Loans for Permitted Other Indebtedness, which, in the case of securities, may be issued in a public offering, Rule 144A or other private placement or any bridge facility in lieu of the foregoing or otherwise (such Indebtedness, “Permitted Debt Exchange Notes,” and each such exchange a “Permitted Debt Exchange”), so long as the following conditions are satisfied or waived: (i) except as otherwise permitted hereby (including utilization of any other available baskets or incurrence based amounts as permitted hereunder), the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Permitted Debt Exchange Notes issued in exchange for Term Loans pursuant to a Permitted Debt Exchange shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Term Loans exchanged for such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes; provided that the aggregate principal amount of the Permitted Debt Exchange Notes may include accrued interest, unused commitments, fees and premium (if any) under the Term Loans exchanged and underwriting discounts, fees, commissions and expenses (including original issue discount, upfront fees and similar items) in connection with the exchange of such Term Loans and the issuance of such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes, (ii) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans exchanged under each applicable Class by the Borrower pursuant to any Permitted Debt Exchange shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the Borrower on the date of the settlement thereof (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, any applicable exchanging Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, or such other form as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, in respect thereof pursuant to which the respective Lender assigns its interest in the Term Loans being exchanged pursuant to the Permitted Debt Exchange to the Borrower for immediate cancellation), (iii) if the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans of a given Class (calculated on the face amount thereof) tendered by Lenders in respect of the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer (with no Lender being permitted to tender a principal amount of Term Loans which exceeds the principal amount thereof of the applicable Class actually held by it) shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of such Class offered to be exchanged by the Borrower pursuant to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer, then the Borrower shall exchange Term Loans subject to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer tendered by such Lenders ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts so tendered, (iv) all documentation in respect of such Permitted Debt Exchange shall be consistent with the foregoing, and all written communications generally directed to the Lenders in connection therewith shall be in form and substance consistent with the foregoing and made in consultation with the Borrower and the Auction Agent, and (v) any applicable Minimum Tender Condition shall be satisfied (or waived by the Borrower in its sole discretion).

(b)With respect to all Permitted Debt Exchanges effected by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15, (i) such Permitted Debt Exchanges (and the cancellation of the exchanged Term Loans in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 5.1 or 5.2, and (ii) such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall be made for not less than $5,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Term Loans; provided that subject to the foregoing clause (ii) the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Tender Condition”) to consummating any such Permitted Debt Exchange that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer in the Borrower’s discretion) of Term Loans of any or all applicable Classes be tendered.

146

(c)In connection with each Permitted Debt Exchange, the applicable Credit Party and the Auction Agent shall mutually agree to such procedures as may be necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.15 and without conflict with Section 2.15(d); provided that the terms of any Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall provide that the date by which the relevant Lenders are required to indicate their election to participate in such Permitted Debt Exchange shall be not less than a reasonable period (in the discretion of the Borrower and the Auction Agent) of time following the date on which the Permitted Debt Exchange Offer is made.

(d)The Credit Parties shall be responsible for compliance with, and hereby agrees to comply with, all applicable securities and other laws in connection with each Permitted Debt Exchange, it being understood and agreed that (x) none of the Auction Agent, the Administrative Agent nor any Lender assumes any responsibility in connection with the Borrower’s compliance with such laws in connection with any Permitted Debt Exchange and (y) each Lender shall be solely responsible for its compliance with any applicable “insider trading” laws and regulations to which such Lender may be subject under the Exchange Act.

2.16 Defaulting Lenders.

(a)Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i)Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definitions of “Required Lenders” and “Required Facility Lenders” and as set forth in Section 13.1.

(ii)Defaulting Lender Waterfall. 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 Section 11 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.8 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 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 the Letter of Credit Issuers or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize each Letter of Credit Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 3.8; fourth, as the Borrower 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 the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize each Letter of Credit Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 3.8; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower, the Lenders, any Letter of Credit Issuer or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower, any Lender, any Letter of Credit Issuer or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the applicable conditions set forth in Section 7 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv). 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 2.16(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

147

(iii)Certain Fees.

(A)No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 4 or any other fee payable as compensation for the provision of any Commitment of such Defaulting Lender or any interest at the Default Rate payable under Section 2.8(c) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee or interest that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(B)Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its applicable Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the Stated Amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.16(a)(ii).

(C)With respect to any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Letter of Credit Issuer the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Letter of Credit Issuer’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv)Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s applicable Revolving Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s applicable Revolving Commitment(s). No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

148

(v)Cash Collateral; Repayment of Swingline Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (a)(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Swingline Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, may require the Borrower to, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to them hereunder or under applicable law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize each Letter of Credit Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.8.

(b)Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, and each Letter of Credit Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

2.17 Designation of Additional Borrowers.

(a)The Borrower may from time to time designate one or more Additional Borrowers organized in a Qualified Jurisdiction for purposes of this Agreement by delivering to the Administrative Agent:

(i) written notice (including via email) of election to become an Additional Borrower (an “Election to Participate”) duly executed on behalf of such Restricted Subsidiary and the Borrower at least five Business Days prior to the proposed effectiveness of such election,

(ii) all documentation and other information with respect to such Subsidiary as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender under the Credit Facility made to such Additional Borrower through the Administrative Agent required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act, no later than three Business Days prior to the date of such notice (or such later date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent);

(iii) a Beneficial Ownership Certification for any Additional Borrower that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation;

(iv) solely to the extent such Additional Borrower is not already a Credit Party, (A) all documents, updated schedules, instruments, certificates and agreements, and all other actions and information, then required by or in respect of such Additional Borrower by Section 9.11 or by the Security Documents (without giving effect to any grace periods for delivery of such items, the updating of such information or the taking of such actions), (B) a customary legal opinion if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and (C) a customary secretary’s certificate attaching such equivalent documents as were delivered by the Borrower on the Closing Date;

(vi) a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower stating that, as of the date the Additional Borrower joins this Agreement as such, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(vii) promissory notes in respect of such Additional Borrower in favor of any Lender requesting such promissory notes, in form and substance consistent with the Notes set forth in Exhibit I-1 and Exhibit I-2 (modified to reflect such Additional Borrower); and

(b)After such deliveries, the appointment of the Additional Borrower shall be effective upon the effectiveness of an amendment to this Agreement and any applicable Credit Document necessary (in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) to give effect to the appointment of such Additional Borrower, including amendments to disambiguate certain uses of the word “Borrower” and related terms hereunder and the designation of the Borrower for notices and other administrative purposes hereunder; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not have any right to consent to the designation of any Additional Borrower and shall not be required to approve the addition of such Additional Borrower to the extent the requirements of Section 2.17(a) have been met.

In addition, any Additional Borrower of Incremental Loans may be designated as such concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Incremental Amendment evidencing such Incremental Loans, so long as the documentation required under Sections 2.17(a)(ii) – (v) and (viii) above will either be evidenced by provisions set forth in the Incremental Amendment or delivered in connection therewith.

2.18 Resignation of Additional Borrowers. (a) At any time and from time to time, any Additional Borrower may elect to terminate its ability to request Borrowings hereunder and to cease to be an Additional Borrower hereunder upon the occurrence of, and such resignation shall effective upon, all of the following or such earlier time as agreed to by the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion) and consented to by the Borrower:

150

(b)such resigning Additional Borrower shall have paid in full in cash all of its direct Obligations under each applicable Credit Facility, unless after such resignation, any other Borrower remains to be liable with respect to the Obligations under such applicable Credit Facility; and

(c)such resigning Additional Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a notice of resignation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided that such resignation shall not, to the extent applicable, have any impact on such Person’s obligations as a Guarantor and such obligations, to the extent applicable, shall continue to be effective in accordance with the Guarantee to which it is a party and the other provisions and undertakings hereunder related thereto.

3.1 Letters of Credit.

(a)Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date and prior to the L/C Facility Maturity Date, each Letter of Credit Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 3, to issue from time to time for the account of the Borrower (or, so long as the Borrower is the primary obligor, for the account of any direct or indirect Subsidiary of Holdings) trade (if applicable) and standby Letters of Credit in such form as may be approved by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer in its reasonable discretion; provided that no Letter of Credit Issuer shall be required to issue any trade Letter of Credit; provided further, that if a Letter of Credit is to be issued for the account of any Subsidiary that is not already a Credit Party, the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer shall only be required to issue such Letter of Credit to the extent such Subsidiary shall have provided the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer with all documentation and other information reasonably requested by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Subsidiary required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, no later than five Business Days prior to the date of issuance (or such later date as may be agreed by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer).

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letters of Credit Outstanding at such time, would exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment then in effect; (ii) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which would cause the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures at the time of the issuance thereof to exceed the Total Revolving Commitment then in effect; (iii) unless otherwise agreed to by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent, each Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date occurring no later than one year after the date of issuance thereof (except as set forth in Section 3.2(d)); provided that, in each case, that in no event shall such expiration date occur later than the L/C Facility Maturity Date, in each case, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Administrative Agent, the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and, unless such Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized, “rolled” or “grandfathered” into a new credit facility or backstopped in a manner reasonably acceptable to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent, the applicable Revolving Lenders; (iv) the Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency; (v) no Letter of Credit shall be issued if it would be illegal under any applicable law for the beneficiary of the applicable Letter of Credit to have a Letter of Credit issued in its favor; (vi) no Letter of Credit shall be issued by the Letter of Credit Issuer after it has received a written notice from the Required Revolving Credit Lenders stating that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing until such time as the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer shall have received a written notice of (x) rescission of such notice from the party or parties originally delivering such notice or (y) the waiver of such Default or Event of Default in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1; and (vii) unless otherwise agreed to by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which would exceed, when added together with all other Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer, the Letter of Credit Percentage for such Letter of Credit Issuer multiplied by the Letter of Credit Commitments.

151

(c)Upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Revolving Lenders), the Borrower shall have the right, on any day, permanently to terminate or reduce the Letter of Credit Commitment in whole or in part without prepayment or penalty; provided that, after giving effect to such termination or reduction, the Letters of Credit Outstanding shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment. The Borrower, with the consent of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders and each of the Letter of Credit Issuers providing such increase, shall have the right, on any day, to increase the Letter of Credit Commitment in an amount up to the Revolving Commitments on such date.

(d)A Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(i)any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms enjoin or restrain the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any material restriction, reserve or capital requirement (in each case, for which the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

(ii)the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer now or hereafter applicable to letters of credit generally;

(iii)except as otherwise agreed by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial Stated Amount less than $50,000 (or, to the extent denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount to be agreed by the Borrower and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer) (or such lower amount as may be agreed to by such Letter of Credit Issuer);

(iv)such Letter of Credit is denominated in a currency other than Dollars or an Alternative Currency;

(v)such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the Stated Amount after any drawing thereunder;

(vi)the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit would cause the aggregate Stated Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer to exceed the aggregate amount of such Letter of Credit Issuer’s Letter of Credit Percentage of the Letter of Credit Commitment; or

152

(vii)if a Lender Default exists or any Revolving Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless, in each case, the Borrower has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer to eliminate such Letter of Credit Issuer’s risk with respect to such Revolving Lender or such risk has been reallocated in accordance with Section 2.16.

(e)A Letter of Credit Issuer shall not increase the Stated Amount of any Letter of Credit if such Letter of Credit Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

(f)A Letter of Credit Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such Letter of Credit Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(g)A Letter of Credit Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith and such Letter of Credit Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Section 13 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Section 13 included such Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to such Letter of Credit Issuer.

3.2 Letter of Credit Requests.

(a)Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account (or, so long as the Borrower is the primary obligor, for the account of any direct or indirect Subsidiary of Holdings) or amended, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer a Letter of Credit Request by no later than 1:00 p.m. at least (x) in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars, three (3) Business Days or (y) in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, five (5) Business Days (or, in each case, such other period of advance notice as may be agreed upon by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer) prior to the proposed date of issuance or amendment. Each Letter of Credit Request shall be executed by the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Request may be sent by facsimile, by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the Letter of Credit Issuer, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to the Letter of Credit Issuer.

(b)In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Request shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the Stated Amount thereof in Dollars (or an Alternative Currency); (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the identity of the applicant; (H) the proposed currency of such Letter of Credit; and (I) such other matters as the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer may reasonably require.

Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

153

(c)Unless a Letter of Credit Issuer has received written notice from the Required Revolving Credit Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with their consent), at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of such Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Sections 6 (solely with respect to any Letter of Credit issued on the Closing Date) and 7 shall not then be satisfied to the extent required thereby or waived in accordance with Section 13.1, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or, so long as the Borrower is the primary obligor, for the account of any Subsidiary of the Borrower) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such Letter of Credit Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.

(d)If the Borrower so requests in any Letter of Credit Request, the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer shall agree to issue a standby Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”) in its sole discretion and on terms reasonably acceptable to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer; provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer 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 and the Borrower 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. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the earlier of (x) the date that is twelve (12) months from the then current expiry date and (y) the L/C Facility Maturity Date, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer; provided that such Letter of Credit Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) such Letter of Credit Issuer has reasonably 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 (b) of Section 3.1 or otherwise) or (B) it has received written notice on or before the day that is seven (7) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Required Revolving Credit Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with their consent) or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 7 are not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the Letter of Credit Issuer not to permit such extension until such conditions can be satisfied or are waived in accordance with Section 13.1.

(e)Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

154

3.3 Letter of Credit Participations.

(a)Immediately upon the issuance by any Letter of Credit Issuer of any Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Revolving Lender (each such Revolving Lender, in its capacity under this Section 3.3, an “L/C Participant”) (regardless of whether the conditions set forth in Section 7 have been satisfied or waived), and each such L/C Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (each, an “L/C Participation”), to the extent of such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage in each Letter of Credit, each substitute therefor, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto; provided that the Letter of Credit Fees will be paid directly to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the L/C Participants as provided in Section 4.1(b) and the L/C Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any Fronting Fees.

(b)In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer shall have no obligation relative to the L/C Participants other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it, if taken or omitted in the absence of bad faith, material breach, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not create for the Letter of Credit Issuer any resulting liability.

(c)In the event that any Letter of Credit Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount in full to the respective Letter of Credit Issuer through the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.4(a), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each L/C Participant of such failure, and each L/C Participant shall within one (1) Business Day of such notice pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, the amount of such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars and in immediately available funds. If and to the extent such L/C Participant shall not have so made its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, such L/C Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, forthwith on demand, such amount, together with interest thereon for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time then in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees that are reasonably and customarily charged by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with the foregoing. The failure of any L/C Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other L/C Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any payment under such Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no L/C Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other L/C Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent such other L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any such payment.

(d)Whenever the Administrative Agent receives a payment in respect of an unpaid reimbursement obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer any payments from the L/C Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each L/C Participant that has paid its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such reimbursement obligation, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such L/C Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all L/C Participants) of the amount so paid in respect of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective L/C Participations at the Overnight Rate.

155

(e)The obligations of the L/C Participants to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances.

(f)If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 3.3(c) is required to be returned under any circumstance described in Section 13.19 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

3.4 Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings.

(a)The Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse each Letter of Credit Issuer by making payment with respect to any unpaid drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer in the same amount and in the same currency in which such drawing was made unless the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in the notice of drawing that it will require reimbursement in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer shall notify the Borrower of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Any such reimbursement shall be made by the Borrower to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer in immediately available funds and in the applicable currency (whether with its own funds or with the proceeds of any Borrowings of Revolving Loans under this Agreement) for any payment or disbursement made by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit (each such amount so paid until reimbursed, an “Unpaid Drawing”) no later than the date that is two (2) Business Days after the date on which the Borrower receives a written notice (the “Notice of Drawing”) of such payment or disbursement (the “Reimbursement Date”) (which Notice of Drawing shall also be delivered to the Administrative Agent), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 5:00 p.m. on the Reimbursement Date, from the Reimbursement Date to the date the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer is reimbursed therefor at a rate per annum that shall at all times be (i) with respect to a Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars, the Applicable Margin for ABR Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans plus the ABR as in effect from time to time and (ii) with respect to a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Applicable Margin for Term SOFR Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans plus Term SOFR as in effect from time to time, provided that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the relevant applicable Letter of Credit Issuer prior to 1:00 p.m. on the Reimbursement Date that the Borrower intends to reimburse the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer for the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a Notice of Borrowing requesting that, with respect to Letters of Credit, the Revolving Lenders make Revolving Loans (which shall be ABR Loans) in Dollars on the Reimbursement Date in the amount of such drawing and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each L/C Participant of such drawing and the amount of its Revolving Loan to be made in respect thereof, and each L/C Participant shall be irrevocably obligated to make a Revolving Loan to the Borrower in the manner deemed to have been requested in the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the applicable Unpaid Drawing by 2:00 p.m. on such Reimbursement Date by making the amount of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent. Such Revolving Loans shall be made without regard to the Minimum Borrowing Amount. The Administrative Agent shall use the proceeds of such Revolving Loans solely for the purpose of reimbursing the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer for the related Unpaid Drawing. In the event that the Borrower fails to Cash Collateralize, “roll” or “grandfather” into a new credit facility or backstop in a manner reasonably acceptable to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent any Letter of Credit that is outstanding on the L/C Facility Maturity Date, the full amount of the Letters of Credit Outstanding in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be an Unpaid Drawing subject to the provisions of this Section 3.4 except that the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer shall hold the proceeds received from the L/C Participants as contemplated above as cash collateral for such Letter of Credit to reimburse any unpaid drawing under such Letter of Credit and shall use such proceeds first, to reimburse itself for any unpaid drawings made in respect of such Letter of Credit following the L/C Facility Maturity Date, second, to the extent such Letter of Credit expires or is returned undrawn while any such cash collateral remains, to the repayment of obligations in respect of any Revolving Loans that have not been paid at such time and third, to the Borrower or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section 3.4(a) shall affect the Borrower’s obligation to repay all outstanding Revolving Loans when due in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

156

(b)The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse any Letter of Credit Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer and to repay each L/C Borrowing (and the obligations of the L/C Participants to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 3.3) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i)any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents;

(ii)the existence of any claim, set-off, defense (other than a defense of payment or performance) or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender or other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

(iii)any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv)waiver by any Letter of Credit Issuer of any requirement that exists for such Letter of Credit Issuer’s protection and not the protection of the Borrower (or any Subsidiary) or any waiver by such Letter of Credit Issuer which does not in fact materially prejudice the Borrower (or any Subsidiary);

157

(v)any payment made by any Letter of Credit Issuer in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under, such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the UCC, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable;

(vi)any payment by any Letter of Credit Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by any Letter of Credit Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, licensed insolvency trustee, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable Bankruptcy Law;

(vii)honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft;

(viii)any adverse change in any relevant exchange rates or in the relevant currency markets generally; or

(ix)any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower (or any Subsidiary) (other than the defense of payment or performance).

(c)The Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse any Letter of Credit Issuer for any wrongful payment made by such Letter of Credit Issuer under the Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct, bad faith, material breach or gross negligence on the part of such Letter of Credit Issuer (or any of its Related Parties) as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

3.5 Increased Costs. If after the Closing Date, the adoption of any applicable law, treaty, rule, or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or actual compliance by any Letter of Credit Issuer or any L/C Participant with any request or directive made or adopted after the Closing Date (whether or not having the force of law), by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall either (x) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by any Letter of Credit Issuer, or any L/C Participant’s L/C Participation therein, or (y) impose on any Letter of Credit Issuer or any L/C Participant any other conditions or costs affecting its obligations under this Agreement in respect of Letters of Credit or L/C Participations therein or any Letter of Credit or such L/C Participant’s L/C Participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the actual cost to such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the actual amount of any sum received or receivable by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant hereunder (including any increased costs or reductions attributable to Taxes, other than any such increase or reduction attributable to (I) Indemnified Taxes, (II) Excluded Taxes or (III) Other Taxes) in respect of Letters of Credit or L/C Participations therein, then, promptly after receipt of written demand to the Borrower by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which notice shall be sent by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant such actual additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant for such increased cost or reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that a Letter of Credit Issuer or an L/C Participant shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Person’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any such law, rule or regulation as in effect on the Closing Date or to the extent such Letter of Credit Issuer or L/C Participant is not imposing such charges on, or requesting such compensation from, borrowers (similarly situated to the Borrower hereunder) under comparable letter of credit facilities similar to the Letter of Credit Commitment. A certificate submitted to the Borrower by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer or an L/C Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the determination of such actual additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant as aforesaid shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent manifest error. The Borrower shall promptly pay such Letter of Credit Issuer or an L/C Participant, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate after receipt thereof.

158

3.6 New or Successor Letter of Credit Issuer.

(a)Any Letter of Credit Issuer may resign as a Letter of Credit Issuer upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower only so long as a Lender that is reasonably acceptable to the Borrower has agreed to be appointed as a successor Letter of Credit Issuer and to assume a Letter of Credit Percentage equal to or greater than the Letter of Credit Percentage of the resigning Letter of Credit Issuer, in each case in accordance with this Section 3.6. The Borrower may replace the Letter of Credit Issuer for any reason upon written notice to the Administrative Agent and any Letter of Credit Issuer. The Borrower may add Letter of Credit Issuers at any time upon notice to the Administrative Agent. If any Letter of Credit Issuer shall resign or be replaced, or if the Borrower shall decide to add a new Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement, then the Borrower may appoint from among the Lenders a successor issuer of Letters of Credit or a new Letter of Credit Issuer (with the agreement to become a successor issuer of Letters of Credit or a new Letter of Credit Issuer to be in the sole discretion of such Lender), as the case may be, or, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, denied or delayed), another successor or new issuer of Letters of Credit, whereupon such successor issuer accepting such appointment shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the replaced or resigning Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, or such new issuer of Letters of Credit accepting such appointment shall be granted the rights, powers and duties of a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder. At the time such resignation or replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay to the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer all accrued and unpaid fees applicable to the Letters of Credit pursuant to Sections 4.1(b) and 4.1(d). The acceptance of any appointment as a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder whether as a successor issuer or new issuer of Letters of Credit in accordance with this Agreement, shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, such new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall become a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder. After the resignation or replacement of any Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. In connection with any resignation or replacement pursuant to this clause (a) (but, in case of any such resignation, only to the extent that a successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall have been appointed), either (i) the Borrower, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer and the successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall arrange to have any outstanding Letters of Credit issued by the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer replaced with Letters of Credit issued by the successor issuer of Letters of Credit or (ii) the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any outstanding Letters of Credit or cause the successor issuer of Letters of Credit, if such successor issuer is reasonably satisfactory to the replaced or resigning Letter of Credit Issuer, to issue “back-stop” Letters of Credit naming the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer as beneficiary for each outstanding Letter of Credit issued by the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer, which new Letters of Credit shall be denominated in the same currency as, and shall have a face amount equal to, the Letters of Credit being back-stopped and the sole requirement for drawing on such new Letters of Credit shall be a drawing on the corresponding back-stopped Letters of Credit. After any resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer’s resignation or replacement as a Letter of Credit Issuer, the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Letter of Credit Issuer shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it (A) while it was the Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement or (B) at any time with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer.

159

(b)            To the extent there are, at the time of any resignation or replacement as set forth in clause (a) above, any outstanding Letters of Credit, nothing herein shall be deemed to impact or impair any rights and obligations of any of the parties hereto with respect to such outstanding Letters of Credit (including any obligations related to the payment of Fees or the reimbursement or funding of amounts drawn), except that the Borrower, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer and the successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall have the obligations regarding outstanding Letters of Credit described in clause (a) above.

3.7 Role of Letter of Credit Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any unpaid drawing under a Letter of Credit, a Letter of Credit Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Letter of Credit Issuers, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Required Lenders or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith, material breach or willful misconduct as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuit of such rights and remedies as they may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Section 3.3(b); provided that anything in such Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against a Letter of Credit Issuer, and such Letter of Credit Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by such Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit in each case as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, a Letter of Credit Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

160

A Letter of Credit Issuer may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

3.8 Cash Collateral.

(a)Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer, if (i) as of the L/C Facility Maturity Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, (ii) the Borrower shall be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 11.12 or Section 11.13, or (iii) the provisions of Section 2.16(a)(v) are in effect, the Borrower shall, promptly following any written request by the Administrative Agent or such Letter of Credit Issuer, provide Cash Collateral in an amount not less than the applicable Minimum Collateral Amount (determined in the case of Cash Collateral provided pursuant to clause (iii) above, after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender) or otherwise backstop all outstanding Letters of Credit in a manner reasonably acceptable to such Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent.

(b)Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to (and subject to the control of) the Administrative Agent or a depositary institution designated by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and the Revolving Lenders, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein as described in Section 3.8(a), and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 3.8(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer as herein provided, other than Permitted Liens, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount (including as a result of exchange rate fluctuations), the Borrower will, promptly following written demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts with the Administrative Agent (with such interest accruing for the benefit of the Borrower). The Borrower shall pay promptly following written demand therefor from time to time all customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral.

(c)Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 3.8 or Section 2.16, 5.2, 11.12 or 11.13 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(d)Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or to secure other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 13.6(b)(ii)) or there is no longer existing an Event of Default) or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer (in consultation with the Borrower) that there exists excess Cash Collateral.

161

3.9 Governing Law; Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, each Letter of Credit shall be governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the rules of the ISP, and as to matters not governed by the ISP, the laws of the State of New York. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be responsible to the Borrower for, and such Letter of Credit Issuer’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of such Letter of Credit Issuer required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the applicable law or any order of a jurisdiction where such Letter of Credit Issuer or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the International Chamber of Commerce Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade – International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.

3.10 Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control and any grant of security interest in any Issuer Documents shall be void.

3.11 Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a direct or indirect Subsidiary of Holdings, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any Subsidiary of Holdings inures to the benefit of the Borrower and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of the Subsidiaries of Holdings.

3.12 Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments. If the L/C Facility Maturity Date in respect of any Class of Revolving Commitments occurs prior to the expiry date of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if consented to by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer which issued such Letter of Credit, if one or more other Classes of Revolving Commitments in respect of which the L/C Facility Maturity Date shall not have so occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit for which consent has been obtained shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.4) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Commitments in respect of such non-terminating Classes up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of the unutilized Revolving Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize, “roll” or “grandfather” into a new credit facility, or backstop in a manner reasonably acceptable to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent, any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 3.8. Upon the maturity date of any Class of Revolving Commitments, the sublimit for Letters of Credit may be reduced as agreed between the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrower, without the consent of any other Person.

3.13 Reporting. Not later than the third Business Day following the last day of each month and at each L/C Credit Extension (or at such other intervals as the Administrative Agent and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer shall agree), each Letter of Credit Issuer shall provide to the Administrative Agent a schedule of the Letters of Credit issued by it, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, showing the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the account party, the original face amount (if any), the expiration date, and the reference number of any Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during such month, and showing the aggregate amount (if any) payable by the Borrower to such Letter of Credit Issuer during such month.

162

3.14 Existing Letters of Credit. The Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued as Letters of Credit pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

Fees and Commitment Reductions

4.1 Fees.

(a)Without duplication, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender (in each case pro rata according to the respective Revolving Credit Commitments of all such Lenders), a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) for each day from the Closing Date to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Each Commitment Fee shall be payable (x) quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December occurring after the Closing Date (for the three-month period (or portion thereof) ended on such day for which no payment has been received) and (y) on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (for the period ended on such date for which no payment has been received pursuant to clause (x) above), and shall be computed for each day during such period at a rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Rate in effect on such day on the Available Commitment in effect on such day.

(b)Without duplication, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata on the basis of their respective Letter of Credit Exposure, a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued on the Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s behalf (the “Letter of Credit Fee”), for the period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to the termination date of such Letter of Credit computed at the per annum rate for each day equal to the then Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Loans that are Term SOFR Loans. Except as provided below, such Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable (x) quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December occurring after the Closing Date and (y) on the date upon which the Total Revolving Commitment terminates and the Letters of Credit Outstanding shall have been reduced to zero (or such Letters of Credit have been Cash Collateralized, “rolled” or “grandfathered” into a new credit facility or backstopped in a manner reasonably acceptable to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer).

(c)Without duplication, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, for its own account, administrative agent fees as have been previously agreed in writing, or as may be agreed in writing, by the Borrower from time to time.

(d)Without duplication, the Borrower agrees to pay to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer a fee in Dollars in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it (the “Fronting Fee”), for the period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to the termination date of such Letter of Credit (or the date upon which such Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized, “rolled” or “grandfathered” into a new credit facility or backstopped in a manner reasonably acceptable to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer), computed at the rate for each day equal to 0.125% per annum on the average daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit (or at such other rate per annum as agreed in writing between the Borrower and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer). Such Fronting Fees shall be due and payable (x) quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December occurring after the Closing Date and (y) on the date upon which the Total Revolving Commitment terminates and the Letters of Credit Outstanding shall have been reduced to zero (or the date upon which such Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized, “rolled” or “grandfathered” into a new credit facility or backstopped in a manner reasonably acceptable to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer).

163

(e)Without duplication, the Borrower agrees to pay directly to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer in Dollars upon each issuance or renewal of, drawing under, and/or amendment of, a Letter of Credit issued by it such amount as shall at the time of such issuance or renewal of, drawing under, and/or amendment be the reasonable processing charge that the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer is customarily charging for issuances or renewals of, drawings under or amendments of, letters of credit issued by it.

(iii)On each occasion that any Term Loan Refinancing Indebtedness, any Refinancing Term Loans or Replacement Term Loans are incurred, in each case to refinance any Class (or Classes) of Term Loans resulting in Net Cash Proceeds (as opposed to such Term Loan Refinancing Indebtedness, Refinancing Term Loans or Replacement Term Loans arising out of an exchange of existing Term Loans for such Term Loan Refinancing Indebtedness, Refinancing Term Loans or Replacement Term Loans), the Borrower shall within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Term Loan Refinancing Indebtedness, Refinancing Term Loans or Replacement Term Loans prepay, in accordance with Section 5.2(c), such Class (or Classes) of Term Loans in a principal amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such issuance or incurrence of such Term Loan Refinancing Indebtedness, Refinancing Term Loans or Replacement Term Loans, as applicable.

(iv)Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 5.2, (A) to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Prepayment Event by a Foreign Subsidiary or CFC Holding Company giving rise to a prepayment pursuant to clause (i) above (a “Foreign Prepayment Event”) or Excess Cash Flow giving rise to a prepayment pursuant to clause (ii) above are prohibited or delayed by any Requirement of Law (including financial assistance, corporate benefit, restrictions on upstreaming of cash intra-group and the fiduciary and statutory duties of directors), material constituent documents (including as a result of minority ownership in third parties) or any material agreement binding on such Foreign Subsidiary or a CFC Holding Company (so long as any prohibition is not created in contemplation of such prepayment) from being repatriated to any Credit Party (each, a “Payment Block”), an amount equal to the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above, as the case may be, but only so long as the applicable Requirement of Law or material agreement will not permit repatriation to any Credit Party (provided that the Credit Parties shall not be required to monitor any such Payment Block, take any action to overcome or eliminate such Payment Block and/or reserve cash for future repatriation after it has notified the Administrative Agent of the existence of such Payment Block), and once a repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted in such year under the applicable Requirement of Law or material agreement, an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than ten (10) Business Days after such repatriation is permitted) applied (net of any taxes (including withholding taxes), costs or expenses that would be payable or reserved against if such amounts were actually repatriated, to the extent not already deducted under the definitions of “Net Cash Proceeds” or “Excess Cash Flow,” as applicable, and whether or not they are repatriated) pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above, as applicable, and (B) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that any of or all of the repatriation of Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Prepayment Event or Excess Cash Flow could have adverse tax consequences (that are not de minimis) to the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries or any direct or indirect parent thereof with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes but is not limited to any prepayment whereby doing so the Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries would incur a tax liability including a tax dividend, deemed dividend pursuant to Section 956 of the Code or a withholding tax, an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above until such time as it may repatriate such amount without incurring such adverse tax consequences (at which time an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow shall be promptly applied to repay the Term Loans in accordance with this Section 5.2). For the avoidance of doubt, even if an amount equal to the amount of Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, required to be applied in accordance with Section 5.2(a)(i) or 5.2(a)(ii), respectively, is required to be applied by the Borrower, nothing in this Agreement (including this Section 5) shall be construed to require any Foreign Subsidiary or any CFC Holding Company to repatriate cash. The non-application of any prepayment amounts as a consequence of this clause (iv) will not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute a Default or Event of Default, and such amounts shall be available for working capital purposes or other general corporate purposes of Holdings, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries as long as not required to be prepaid in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this clause (iv).

171

(b)Repayment of Revolving Loans. (i) Except as set forth in clause (ii) below, if on any date the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures in respect of any Class of Revolving Commitments for any reason exceeds 100% of the Revolving Commitment of such Class then in effect, the Borrower shall promptly repay (and/or Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit) within two (2) Business Days after receipt of written notice thereof from the Administrative Agent of such excess, Revolving Loans of such Class in an amount equal to such excess and (ii) if the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures in respect of any Class of Revolving Commitments exceeds 103% of the Revolving Commitment of such Class as then in effect for two (2) consecutive Business Days solely due to fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the Borrower shall within three Business Days after the receipt of written notice thereof from the Administrative Agent, repay Revolving Loans in a principal amount such that, after giving effect to such repayment, the Revolving Credit Exposures in respect of such Class do not exceed 100% of the Revolving Commitment of such Class; provided that if after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Revolving Loans of such Class to the extent required by the preceding sentence, the Revolving Credit Exposures of such Class exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Class then in effect, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize, “roll” or “grandfather” into a new credit facility or backstop in a manner reasonably acceptable to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent the Letters of Credit Outstanding in relation to such Class to the extent of such excess and for so long as such excess exists.

(c)Application to Amounts. Subject to Section 5.2(f), except as may otherwise be set forth in any Incremental Amendment, any Refinancing Amendment, any Extension Amendment or any amendment in respect of Replacement Term Loans, each prepayment of Term Loans required by Section 5.2(a)(i) or (ii) shall be allocated pro rata among the 2024 2025 Refinancing Term Loans and any New Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans, Extended Term Loans and Replacement Term Loans then outstanding based on the applicable remaining principal amounts due thereunder and shall be applied within each Class of Term Loans in respect of such Term Loans in direct forward order of scheduled maturity thereof or as otherwise directed by the Borrower; provided that any Class of New Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans, Extended Term Loans and Replacement Term Loans may specify that one or more other Classes of Term Loans may be prepaid prior to such Class of New Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans, Extended Term Loans and Replacement Term Loans. Any prepayment of Term Loans with the Net Cash Proceeds of, or in exchange for, Term Loan Refinancing Indebtedness, Refinancing Term Loans or Replacement Term Loans pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(iii) shall be applied solely to each applicable Class or Classes of Term Loans being refinanced as selected by the Borrower. It being understood that any Net Cash Proceeds subject to prepayment by Section 5.2(a)(i) or (ii) as to which a ratable mandatory offer to purchase or redeem is made pursuant to the terms of any New Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans, Extended Term Loans and Replacement Term Loans shall, for purposes of this Section 5.2(c), be deemed to have been applied to purchase or redeem such New Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans, Extended Term Loans and Replacement Term Loans, as applicable, whether or not the holders of such New Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans, Extended Term Loans and Replacement Term Loans accept such offer to purchase or redeem.

(d)Application to Term Loans. With respect to each prepayment of Term Loans required by Section 5.2(b), the Borrower may, if applicable, designate the Types of Term Loans that are to be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made; provided that, if any Lender has provided a Rejection Notice in compliance with Section 5.2(f), such prepayment shall be applied with respect to the Term Loans to be prepaid on a pro rata basis across all outstanding Types of such Term Loans in proportion to the percentage of such outstanding Term Loans to be prepaid represented by each such Class. In the absence of a Rejection Notice or a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its reasonable discretion.

(e)Application to Revolving Loans. With respect to each prepayment of Revolving Loans required by Section 5.2(a), the Borrower may designate (i) the Types of Revolving Loans that are to be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made and (ii) the Revolving Loans to be prepaid; provided that (x) each prepayment shall be applied first, ratably to outstanding Swingline Loans and Unpaid Drawings and second, to the prepayment of outstanding Revolving Loans, (y) after giving effect to the foregoing clause (x), each prepayment of any Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Revolving Loans and (z) notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding clause (x) or (y), no prepayment of Revolving Loans shall be applied to the Revolving Loans of any Defaulting Lender unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Borrower. The mandatory prepayments set forth in this Section 5.2(e) shall not reduce the aggregate amount of Commitments and amounts prepaid may be reborrowed in accordance with the terms hereof.

(f)Rejection Right. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(i) or (ii) no later than 12:00 Noon at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date such prepayment is required to be made (or such shorter period of time as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind, or extend the date for prepayment specified in, any notice of prepayment under this Section 5.2(f) by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent prior to 10:00 a.m. on the date of such proposed prepayment (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may approve in its sole discretion) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all or any portion of any Credit Facility or Credit Facilities or other conditional event, which refinancing or other conditional event shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed. Each such notice shall be in the form of a Notice of Prepayment and shall specify the anticipated date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed estimated calculation of the amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender holding Term Loans to be prepaid in accordance with such Notice of Prepayment of the contents of such Notice of Prepayment and of such Lender’s pro rata share of the estimated prepayment. Each Term Loan Lender may reject all (but not less than all) of its pro rata share of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 5.2(a) other than any such mandatory prepayment with respect to a Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event under Section 5.2(a)(i) or any mandatory prepayment under Section 5.2(a)(iii) (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide such notice to the Borrower (and no later than 5:00 p.m. one (1) Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment). If a Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans. Any Declined Proceeds shall be retained by the Borrower (“Retained Declined Proceeds”).

173

5.3 Method and Place of Payment.

(a)Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made by the Borrower, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders entitled thereto (or, in the case of the Swingline Loans to the Swingline Lender) or the Letter of Credit Issuers entitled thereto, as the case may be, not later than 2:00 p.m., in each case, on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office or at such other office as the Administrative Agent shall specify for such purpose by written notice to the Borrower (or, in the case of the Swingline Loans, at such office as the Swingline Lender shall specify for such purpose by written notice to the Borrower), it being understood that written or facsimile notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent to make a payment from the funds in the Borrower’s account at the Administrative Agent’s Office shall constitute the making of such payment to the extent of such funds held in such account. All repayments or prepayments of any Loans (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) hereunder shall be made in the applicable currency of the Loans. The Administrative Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if payment was actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 p.m. or, otherwise, on the next Business Day in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion) like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or Fees ratably to the Lenders entitled thereto.

(b)Any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 2:00 p.m. (which time may be extended by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion in connection with the repayment in full of the Credit Facilities) may be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (or, in the case of the Swingline Loans, at the Swingline Lender’s sole discretion) for purposes of calculating interest thereon. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.

5.4 Net Payments.

(a)Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.

(i)All payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes.

(ii)If any applicable Credit Party, the Administrative Agent or any other Withholding Agent shall be required by applicable Requirements of Law to withhold or deduct any Taxes in respect of any payment, then (A) such Withholding Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are reasonably determined by such Withholding Agent to be required by applicable Requirements of Law, (B) such Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority, and (C) to the extent that the withholdings or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholdings or deductions have been made (including withholding or deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.4) each Lender (or, in the case of a payment to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholdings or deductions been made.

174

(b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without duplication of any amounts paid under Section 5.4 (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (c), the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse the Administrative Agent for the payment of any Other Taxes.

(c)Tax Indemnifications. Without duplication of any obligation under Section 5.4(a) or (b) above, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and shall make payment in respect thereof within fifteen (15) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.4) paid or payable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any reasonable out-of-pocket 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 any such payment or liability (along with a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts) delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. If the Borrower reasonably believes that any such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, the Administrative Agent and/or each affected Lender will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower in pursuing a refund of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes so long as such efforts would not, in the sole determination exercised in good faith of the Administrative Agent or affected Lender, result in any additional costs, expenses or risks or be otherwise disadvantageous to it. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.4(c), the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Section 5.4(c) for any incremental amount resulting from the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, to notify the Borrower of such possible indemnification claim within 120 days after the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, receives written notice from the applicable Governmental Authority of the specific tax assessment giving rise to such indemnification claim.

(d)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 5.4, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by applicable Requirements of Law to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e)Status of Lenders and Tax Documentation.

(i)Each Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or a reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made hereunder shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and duly executed documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not any payments made hereunder or under any other Credit Document are subject to withholding Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable withholding Taxes in respect of any payments to be made to such Lender by any Credit Party pursuant to any Credit Document or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding Tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction. Any documentation and information required to be delivered by a Lender pursuant to this Section 5.4(e) (including any specific documentation set forth in subsection (ii) below) shall be delivered by such Lender (I) on or prior to the Closing Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), (II) on or before any date on which such previously provided documentation expires or becomes obsolete or invalid, (III) after the occurrence of any change in the Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent documentation previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (IV) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and each such Lender shall promptly notify in writing the Borrower and the Administrative Agent if such Lender is no longer legally eligible to provide any documentation previously provided.

175

(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(A)any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent properly completed and duly executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor from thereto) or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding or information reporting requirements;

(B)each Non-U.S. Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of U.S. federal withholding Tax with respect to any payments hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two properly completed and duly executed originals of whichever of the following is applicable:

(1)Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form thereto) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income Tax treaty to which the United States is a party;

(2)Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or W-8EXP (or, in each case, any successor form thereto);

(3)in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) or 871(h) of the Code, (x) a certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1, K-2, K-3 or K-4, as applicable (each, a “Non-Bank Tax Certificate”), to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and that no payments under any Credit Documents are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Lender’s conduct of a US trade or business and (y) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or, in each case, any successor thereto);

(4)to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner (e.g., where such Lender has sold a participation or is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto) accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E each, as applicable (or, in each case, any successor thereto) and all other required supporting documentation (including, where one or more of the underlying beneficial owner(s) is claiming the benefits of the portfolio interest exemption, a Non-Bank Tax Certificate of such beneficial owner(s)) (provided that, if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and not a participating Lender, the Non-Bank Tax Certificate(s) may be provided by the Non-U.S. Lender on behalf of the direct or indirect partner(s)); and/or

176

(5)any other documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

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

(iii)Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Credit Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 5.4(e).

(iv)On or before the date the Administrative Agent becomes a party to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall provide to the Borrower two properly completed and duly executed originals of the documentation prescribed in clause (A) or (B) below, as applicable (together with all required attachments thereto): (A) if the Administrative Agent is a U.S. Person, Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor thereto), certifying that it is exempt from or not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding Tax, or (B) if the Administrative Agent is not a U.S. Person, (1) with respect to payments received for its own account, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor thereto), and (2) with respect to payments received on account of any Lender, either (x) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto) certifying that it is a “qualified intermediary” that has assumed primary withholding responsibility under Chapters 3 and 4 of the Code for payments it receives for the account of others or (y) a U.S. branch withholding certificate on Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto) evidencing its agreement with the Borrower to be treated as a U.S. Person for U.S. federal withholding Tax purposes as contemplated by Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv)(A) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The Administrative Agent hereby assumes primary U.S. withholding, backup withholding and information reporting obligations with respect to all amounts paid or payable to it by the Credit Parties under the Credit Documents. At any time thereafter, the Administrative Agent shall provide updated documentation previously provided (or any successor thereto) when any documentation previously delivered has expired or become obsolete or invalid or otherwise upon the reasonable request of the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.4(e)(iv), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to provide any documentation that the Administrative Agent is not legally eligible to deliver as a result of a Change in Law after the Closing Date.

(f)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Credit Party or with respect to which any Credit Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.4, the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as applicable) shall promptly pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Credit Parties under this Section 5.4 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, 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 the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, shall repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. In such event, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrower’s request, provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant Governmental Authority (provided that the Administrative Agent or such Lender may delete any information therein that it deems confidential). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.4(f), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 5.4(f) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or any Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or any Lender 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 5.4(f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Credit Party or any other Person.

177

(g)For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 5.4 (and associated definitions used herein, including the definition of “Excluded Taxes”), the term “Lender” includes the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Swingline Lender and the term “applicable Requirements of Law” includes FATCA.

(h)Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.4 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 Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under the Credit Documents.

5.5 Computations of Interest and Fees.

(a)Except as provided in the next succeeding sentence, interest on Term SOFR Loans shall be payable in arrears and calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. Interest on ABR Loans shall be payable in arrears and calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, in the case of a leap year) day year for the actual days elapsed.

(b)Fees and the average daily Stated Amount of Letters of Credit shall be payable in arrears and calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed.

5.6 Limit on Rate of Interest.

(a)No Payment Shall Exceed Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be obliged to pay any interest or other amounts under or in connection with this Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Obligations in excess of the amount or rate permitted under or consistent with any applicable law, rule or regulation.

178

(b)Payment at Highest Lawful Rate. If the Borrower is not obliged to make a payment that it would otherwise be required to make, as a result of Section 5.6(a), the Borrower shall make such payment to the maximum extent permitted by or consistent with applicable laws, rules, and regulations.

(c)Adjustment if Any Payment Exceeds Lawful Rate. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents would obligate the Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate that would be prohibited by any applicable law, rule or regulation, then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law (the “Maximum Rate”), such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid by the Borrower to the affected Lender under Section 2.8; provided that to the extent lawful, the interest or other amounts that would have been payable but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest 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 Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if any Lender shall have received from the Borrower an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent, to obtain reimbursement from that Lender in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by that Lender to the Borrower.

In the case of (x) an Event of Default identified in the proviso to Section 11.2 or (y) an Event of Default under Section 11.3(a) in respect of a failure to observe or perform the covenant under Section 10.9 (provided that, in the case of this clause (y), the actions hereinafter described will be permitted to occur only following the expiration of the ability to effectuate the Cure Right if such Cure Right has not been so exercised, and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event), the Administrative Agent shall, upon the written request of the Required Facility Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility, by written notice to the Borrower, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times (except the following actions may not be taken with respect to an Event of Default under Section 10.9 until the ability to exercise the Cure Right under Section 11.14 has expired (but may be taken as soon as the ability to exercise the Cure Right has expired and it has not been so exercised)): (i) declare the Revolving Credit Commitments terminated, whereupon the Revolving Credit Commitment, if any, of each Lender, as the case may be, shall forthwith terminate immediately and any Fees theretofore accrued shall forthwith become due and payable without any other notice of any kind; and (ii) declare the Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter, during the continuance of such event, be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Revolving Credit Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower (to the extent permitted by applicable law).

(i)first, to the payment of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in connection with any collection or sale of the Collateral or otherwise in connection with any Credit Document, including all court costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Credit Document on behalf of any Credit Party and any other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Credit Document, in each case to the extent reimbursable hereunder or thereunder;

(ii)second, to the payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest and Letter of Credit Fees) payable to the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers) arising under the Credit Documents, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause second payable to them;

(iii)third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit Fees and interest on the Loans, L/C Borrowings and other Obligations arising under the Credit Documents, ratably among the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause third payable to them;

(iv)fourth, to the payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, L/C Borrowings (including an amount sufficient to Cash Collateralize the undrawn amounts of any Letters of Credit Outstanding) and Obligations then owing under Secured Hedge Obligations, Secured Cash Management Obligations or Secured Bank Product Obligations, ratably among the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers, the Hedge Banks, the Cash Management Banks and Bank Product Providers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause fourth held by them;

(v)fifth, to the payment of any other Obligations, ratably among the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers, the Hedge Banks, the Cash Management Banks and Bank Product Providers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause fifth held by them; and

(vi)sixth, any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the applicable Credit Parties or their successors or assigns or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct;

provided that any amount applied to Cash Collateralize any Letters of Credit Outstanding that has not been applied to reimburse the Borrower for Unpaid Drawings under the applicable Letters of Credit at the time of expiration of all such Letters of Credit shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the order specified in clauses (i) through (vi) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts received from any Guarantor that is not an “Eligible Contract Participant” (as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act) shall not be applied to its Obligations that are Excluded Swap Obligations.

226

11.14 Equity Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11, in the event that the Borrower fails to comply with the requirement of the Financial Covenant, the Borrower may elect to cure such failure (the “Cure Right”) by including in the calculation of the Financial Covenant the cash net equity proceeds derived from an issuance of Capital Stock or Stock Equivalents (other than Disqualified Stock, unless reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) by the Borrower, or from a contribution to the common equity capital of the Borrower, in each case, received at any time since the Closing Date and not otherwise applied for any purposes under this Agreement until the expiration of the fifteenth Business Day following the date financial statements referred to in Section 9.1(a) or (b) (such period, the “Cure Period”) are required to be delivered in respect of such Test Period for which the Financial Covenant is being measured (such cash amount being referred to as the “Cure Amount”), and upon such election by the Borrower to exercise such Cure Right, the Financial Covenant shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments:

(a)Consolidated EBITDA shall be increased, solely for the purpose of determining the existence of an Event of Default resulting from a breach of the Financial Covenant with respect to any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters that includes the fiscal quarter for which the Cure Right was exercised and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount;

(b)[reserved]; and

(c)if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, the Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the Financial Covenant, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the Financial Covenant as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of the Financial Covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement;

provided that (i) in each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in which no Cure Right is exercised, (ii) there shall be a maximum of five Cure Rights exercised during the term of this Agreement, (iii) each Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with the Financial Covenant; provided that the Cure Amount for one fiscal quarter may exceed the amount required to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with the Financial Covenant and for the avoidance of doubt, the entire amount of such Cure Amount will increase the Consolidated EBITDA for purpose of testing compliance with the Financial Covenant for any Test Period inclusive of such fiscal quarter (it being understood that to the extent the notice described in the immediately succeeding paragraph is provided in advance of delivery of a Compliance Certificate for the applicable fiscal period, the amount of such net equity proceeds that is designated as the Cure Amount may be lower than the amount specified in such notice to the extent the amount necessary to cure such Event of Default is less than the full amount originally designated) and (iv) all Cure Amounts shall be disregarded for the purposes of any Financial Incurrence Test under the Credit Documents other than for determining compliance with Section 10.9 and may not result in any adjustment to any amounts (including the amount of Indebtedness or increase in cash or Cash Equivalents) with respect to the fiscal quarter with respect to which such Cure Amount was received other than the amount of the Consolidated EBITDA referred to above (except to the extent such proceeds are applied to prepay, repay or redeem Indebtedness, in which case such repayment, prepayment or redemption shall be given pro forma effect).

No Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred on the basis of any failure to comply with the Financial Covenant unless such failure is not cured by the receipt of the Cure Amount on or prior to the last day of the Cure Period. The Borrower shall not be permitted to borrow Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans or make any Letter of Credit Request in respect of issuing a new Letter of Credit or otherwise extending or increasing the face amount of an existing Letter of Credit unless and until (x) the proceeds of the issuance or contribution, as the case may be, constituting the Cure Amount shall have been received by the Borrower such that, upon recalculation taking into account such Cure Amount received, the Borrower shall be in compliance with the covenant contained in Section 10.9 or (y) all such Defaults and Event of Defaults shall have been waived in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided further that if the Cure Amount is not received before the expiration of the Cure Period, unless all such Defaults and Events of Default shall have been waived in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, each such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred. No Agent or Lender shall take any action to foreclose on, or take possession of, the Collateral, accelerate any Obligations, terminate any Commitments or otherwise exercise any remedies under any Credit Document or any applicable law on the basis of a breach of Section 10.9 (or any other Default or Event of Default as a result thereof) unless and until the Cure Period has expired and the Borrower has not received the Cure Amount.

228

(c)The Lead Arrangers, in their capacity as such, shall not have any obligations, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement but shall be entitled to all benefits of this Section 12. Each Lead Arranger shall be an intended third party beneficiary of the provisions herein applicable thereto.

12.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may each execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents by or through agents, sub-agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties, provided that any of the foregoing receiving payments from the Credit Parties shall be a “U.S. person” and a “financial institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this Section 12 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, and any such sub-agent, and shall apply, without limiting the foregoing, to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, subagents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in the absence of its bad faith, material breach, gross negligence, or willful misconduct (as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

12.3 Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document (except for its or such Person’s own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, or such Person’s material breach of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders or any participant for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Credit Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by such Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Credit Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or the Collateral, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created under the Security Documents, or for any failure of any Credit Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof. The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party.

12.4 Reliance by Agents. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or instruction believed by it (in good faith) to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally and believed by it in good faith to be made by a proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the Lender specified in the Register with respect to any amount owing hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Credit Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans; provided that the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or in the opinion of its counsel, may expose it to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law.

229

12.5 Notice of Default. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and the Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders or Required Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders except to the extent that this Agreement requires that such action be taken only with the approval of the Required Lenders, Required Revolving Credit Lenders, each directly and adversely affected Lender or each of the Lenders, as applicable.

12.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Other Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any other Agent, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Agent to any Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer. Each Lender, the Swingline Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer represents to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any other Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and each other Credit Party and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any other Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of any of the Credit Parties. Except for notices, reports, and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, assets, operations, properties, financial condition, prospects or creditworthiness of any Credit Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

230

12.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to severally indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Credit Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), ratably according to their respective portions of the Total Credit Exposure in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their respective portions of the Total Credit Exposure in effect immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Loans) are imposed on, incurred by or asserted against an Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable to an Agent for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided further that no action taken by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Credit Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 12.7. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time occur (including at any time following the payment of the Loans), this Section 12.7 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse each Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice rendered in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided that in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s pro rata portion thereof; and provided further that this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The agreements in this Section 12.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. The indemnity provided to each Agent under this Section 12.7 shall also apply to such Agent’s respective Affiliates, directors, officers, members, controlling persons, employees, trustees, investment advisors and agents and successors.

231

12.8 Agents in Their Individual Capacities. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, any Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Credit Party as though such Agent were not an Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents. With respect to the Loans made by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

12.9 Successor Agents.

(a)Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may at any time give 30 days’ prior written notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) so long as no Event of Default under Section 11.1 or 11.5 (with respect to the Borrower) is continuing, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States (in each case, other than any Disqualified Lender) and in each case such successor shall be a person eligible to assume primary responsibility for U.S. federal tax withholding with respect to payments received on behalf of the Lenders pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(ii) or (iv) or as a result of being a “qualified intermediary,” and such successor shall provide documentation demonstrating such status in accordance with Section 5.4(e)(iv). 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 Agent gives notice of its resignation (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above (including receipt of the Borrower’s consent); provided that if the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice. It is understood and agreed that in no event shall a Disqualified Lender be the successor Administrative Agent or the successor Collateral Agent.

(b)If the Person serving as the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Required Lenders or the Borrower may, in each case, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to, in the case of a notice from the Required Lenders, the Borrower, or, in the case of a notice from the Borrower, the Required Lenders, and, in each case, such Person, remove such Person as the Administrative Agent, and, if such appointment is by the Required Lenders (as opposed to the Borrower), with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) so long as no Event of Default under Section 11.1 or 11.5 (with respect to the Borrower) is continuing or, if such appointment is by the Borrower, with the consent of the Required Lenders (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States (in each case, other than any Disqualified Lender) and in each case such successor shall be a person eligible to assume primary responsibility for U.S. federal tax withholding with respect to payments received on behalf of the Lenders pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(ii) or (iv) or as a result of being a “qualified intermediary,” and such successor shall provide documentation demonstrating such status in accordance with Section 5.4(e)(iv). If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders or the Borrower (with the consent of the Borrower or the Required Lenders, as applicable, as required above) and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders and the Borrower) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

232

(c)With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable), (1) the retiring or removed agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (other than its obligations under Section 13.16) and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuers under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security as nominee until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender or each Letter of Credit Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders or the Borrower, as applicable, appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this paragraph (and otherwise subject to the terms in this Section 12.9). Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hereunder, and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Security Documents, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) or removed Agent, and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder (other than its obligations under Section 13.16) or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 12.9). Except as provided above, any resignation or removal of Jefferies as the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.9 shall also constitute the resignation or removal of such Person as the Collateral Agent. The fees payable by the Borrower (following the effectiveness of such appointment) to such Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor (other than appropriate pro rata reductions for partial periods). After the retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Section 12 (including Section 12.7) and Section 13.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Agent was acting as an Agent.

(d)Any resignation by or removal of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.9 shall also constitute its resignation or removal as Swingline Lender and Withholding Agent (if applicable); provided that a resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.9 shall also constitute its resignation or removal as Swingline Lender only so long as a Lender has agreed to be appointed as a successor Swingline Lender and to assume a Swingline Commitment equal to or greater than the Swingline Commitment of the resigning or removed Swingline Lender; provided, further, that, for the avoidance of doubt, any such appointment shall not be a condition to any resignation by or removal of the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such pursuant to this Section 12.9. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder in accordance with this Section 12.9, (a) such successor shall become the Withholding Agent, (b) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swingline Lender unless another Lender has agreed to assume the Swingline Commitment of the resigning or removed Swingline Lender and (c) the retiring Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents.

233

12.10 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable Requirement of Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender under any Credit Document an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective) or if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender pursuant to this Agreement without deduction of applicable withholding Tax from such payment, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by any applicable Credit Party and without limiting or expanding the obligation of any applicable Credit Party to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including penalties, additions to Tax and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document or from any other sources against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 12.10. The agreements in this Section 12.10 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 12.10, the term “Lender” includes a Letter of Credit Issuer and the Swingline Lender.

12.11 Collateral and Guarantee Matters. Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral and the Security Documents; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall owe any fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or any other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Secured Hedge Obligations, Secured Cash Management Obligations or Secured Bank Product Obligations.

(a)Any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Credit Document shall be automatically released (i) upon the payment in full of all Obligations (except for contingent obligations in respect of which a claim has not yet been made, Secured Hedge Obligations, Secured Bank Product Obligations and Secured Cash Management Obligations), termination of all Commitments and termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit that have been Cash Collateralized, “rolled” or “grandfathered” into a new credit facility or backstopped in a manner reasonably acceptable to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent), (ii) if the property subject to such Lien is sold or to be sold or transferred as part of or in connection with any sale or other transfer permitted hereunder or under any other Credit Document (whether as an Investment, disposition or otherwise) to a Person that is not a Credit Party or in connection with the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (including in connection with the incurrence of any Qualified Securitization Financing or Receivables Facility), (iii) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Credit Party, upon the release of such Credit Party from its Guarantee otherwise in accordance with the Credit Documents, (iv) as to the extent provided in the Security Documents, (v) if the property constitutes Excluded Property (or with respect to any property subject to any Lien securing any purchase money obligations, Finance Leases (including capital leases), Sale Leaseback or similar arrangement, at the written request of the Borrower) or (vi) if such release is approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 13.1. Without limitation to the operation of the automatic releases described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively without further inquiry on a certificate of an Authorized Officer to the Administrative Agent with respect to any release described in this clause (a) stating that such release satisfies the foregoing requirements.

234

(b)(i) Except as set forth in clause (ii) below, any Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Guarantee if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary (or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary) as a result of a transaction or designation permitted hereunder and (ii) any Guarantor may be released pursuant to the provisions applicable to the Excluded Subsidiary Joinder Exception; provided further that without limitation of the operation of the automatic releases described in this clause (b), a certificate of an Authorized Officer delivered at the option of the Borrower, to the Administrative Agent with respect to any such automatic release stating that such Guarantor has ceased to be a Restricted Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall be conclusive evidence that such release satisfies the foregoing requirement and such automatic release has occurred (and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on such certificate without further inquiry); provided further that no Wholly-Owned Subsidiary that is a Credit Party that becomes an Excluded Subsidiary solely by virtue of it no longer being a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary shall be released from its obligations under the Guarantee solely by virtue of a transaction pursuant to which the relevant Equity Interests of such Subsidiary are transferred to a third party unless either (a) the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary are transferred or issued to a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Borrower, (b) such Person ceases to constitute a Restricted Subsidiary or (c) such transaction is not entered into with the primary purpose of circumventing the Collateral and/or Guarantee provisions of this Agreement, it being understood that (i) the primary purpose of any such transaction shall be determined by the Borrower in good faith and (ii) in no event shall the foregoing provisions prevent the release of a Subsidiary pursuant to a transaction entered into for a bona fide business purpose or any transaction that is consistent with past practice or customary industry practice.

(c)Upon the request from time to time by the Borrower, (i) the Administrative Agent shall release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Credit Document to the holder of any Lien permitted under clauses (v), (vi) (solely with respect to Section 10.1(d) or (gg)), (vii), (viii), (ix) and (xviii) (solely with respect to a refinancing of each of the foregoing clauses) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”; or (d) enter into subordination or intercreditor agreements with respect to Indebtedness to the extent the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is otherwise contemplated herein as being a party to such intercreditor or subordination agreement, including the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Pari Intercreditor Agreement.

In each case of clauses (a) through (c) above, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall, and shall be authorized by all Secured Parties to, execute and deliver any documents or instruments necessary to evidence such release or subordination, as applicable. In addition, at the written request from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, from time to time, shall, and shall be authorized by all Secured Parties to execute any written confirmation in favor the holder of any Permitted Lien over any Excluded Property to confirm that the Obligations are not secured by a Lien over such Excluded Property. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and subject to their rights pursuant to Section 12.4.

The Collateral Agent shall have its own independent right to demand payment of the amounts payable by the Borrower under this Section 12.11, irrespective of any discharge of the Borrower’s obligations to pay those amounts to the other Lenders resulting from failure by them to take appropriate steps in insolvency proceedings affecting the Borrower to preserve their entitlement to be paid those amounts.

Any amount due and payable by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent under this Section 12.11 shall be decreased to the extent that the other Lenders have received (and are able to retain) payment in full of the corresponding amount under the other provisions of the Credit Documents and any amount due and payable by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent under those provisions shall be decreased to the extent that the Collateral Agent has received (and is able to retain) payment in full of the corresponding amount under this Section 12.11.

235

12.12 Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guarantee. Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Agents, and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guarantee, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights, and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Credit Documents and all powers, rights, and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition. No holder of Secured Hedge Obligations, Secured Bank Product Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations shall have any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Credit Party under this Agreement. No holder of Secured Hedge Obligations, Secured Bank Product Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations that obtains the benefits of any Guarantee or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any other Credit Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to or vote on, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Credit Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender or Agent and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Credit Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement 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, Obligations arising under Secured Hedge Agreements, Secured Bank Product Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements, unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank, Bank Product Provider or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.

12.13 Intercreditor Agreements Govern. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Secured Party and each Lender (a) hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of any intercreditor agreement entered into pursuant to the terms hereof, (b) hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into each intercreditor agreement (including the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Pari Intercreditor Agreement) entered into pursuant to the terms hereof (including pursuant to clause (vi) or (xlv) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” or Section 12.11(c)) and to subject the Liens securing the Obligations to the provisions thereof and (c) hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to negotiate, execute and deliver on behalf of the Secured Parties any intercreditor agreement contemplated hereby with respect to Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 10.1 and permitted to be secured by Liens on the Collateral by Section 10.2 or any amendment (or amendment and restatement) to the Security Documents or any intercreditor agreement contemplated hereunder (including any such amendment of any such intercreditor agreement to provide for the addition of Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 10.1 and permitted to be secured by Liens on the Collateral by Section 10.2). In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of each intercreditor agreement (including the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Pari Intercreditor Agreement) and this Agreement, the provisions of such intercreditor agreement shall control in all respects. With respect to any reference in this Agreement to “another intercreditor agreement, subordination agreement or arrangement reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (or other similar description), the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereby agree to, and each Secured Party and each Lender hereby directs the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to, enter into such other intercreditor or subordination agreement upon request by the Borrower.

240

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with any determination as to whether the requisite Lenders have (A) consented (or not consented) to any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any departure by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary therefrom, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Credit Document, or (C) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Credit Document, any Lender (other than (x) any Lender that is a Regulated Bank or (y) any Revolving Lender) (or any Affiliate of any such Lender (provided that for purposes of this paragraph, Affiliates shall not include Persons that are subject to customary procedures to prevent the sharing of confidential information between such Lender and such Person and such Person is managed having independent fiduciary duties to the investors or other equityholders of such Person)), that, as a result of its (or its Affiliates’) interest in any participation, total return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative contract (other than any such total return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative contract entered into pursuant to bona fide market making activities), has a net short position with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments or with respect to any other tranche, class or series of Indebtedness for borrowed money incurred or issued by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries at such time of determination secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Obligations (including commitments with respect to any revolving credit facility) (each such item of Indebtedness, including the Loan and Commitments, “Specified Indebtedness”) (each, a “Net Short Lender”) shall have no right to vote with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Documents and shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a Lender without discretion in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not Net Short Lenders. For purposes of determining whether a Lender (alone or together with its Affiliates) has a “net short position” on any date of determination: (i) derivative contracts with respect to any Specified Indebtedness and such contracts that are the functional equivalent thereof shall be counted at the notional amount thereof in Dollars, (ii) notional amounts in other currencies shall be converted to the Dollar equivalent thereof by such Lender in a commercially reasonable manner consistent with generally accepted financial practices and based on the prevailing conversion rate (determined on a mid-market basis) on the date of determination, (iii) derivative contracts in respect of an index that includes the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary or any instrument issued or guaranteed by the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed to create a short position with respect to such Specified Indebtedness, so long as (x) such index is not created, designed, administered or requested by such Lender or its Affiliates and (y) the Borrower and the other Restricted Subsidiaries and any instrument issued or guaranteed by the Borrower or the other Restricted Subsidiaries collectively, shall represent less than 5% of the components of such index, (iv) derivative transactions that are documented using either the 2014 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions or the 2003 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions (collectively, the “ISDA CDS Definitions”) shall be deemed to create a short position with respect to the relevant Specified Indebtedness if such Lender or its Affiliates is a protection buyer or the equivalent thereof for such derivative transaction and (x) the relevant Specified Indebtedness is a “Reference Obligation” under the terms of such derivative transaction (whether specified by name in the related documentation, included as a “Standard Reference Obligation” on the most recent list published by Markit, if “Standard Reference Obligation” is specified as applicable in the relevant documentation or in any other manner), (y) the relevant Specified Indebtedness would be a “Deliverable Obligation” under the terms of such derivative transaction or (z) the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary is designated as a “Reference Entity” under the terms of such derivative transactions, and (v) credit derivative transactions or other derivatives transactions not documented using the ISDA CDS Definitions shall be deemed to create a short position with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments if such transactions are functionally equivalent to a transaction that offers the Lender protection in respect of the Loans or the Commitments, or as to the credit quality of any of Holdings or other Credit Parties and (vi) any participation of a Loan shall be deemed to reduce the exposure to the underlying Loan on a dollar-for-dollar basis other than, in each case, as part of an index so long as (x) such index is not created, designed, administered or requested by such Lender and (y) the Borrower and other Credit Parties and any instrument issued or guaranteed by any of the Borrower or other Credit Parties, collectively, shall represent less than 5% of the components of such index. In connection with any such determination, each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing that it is a Net Short Lender, or shall otherwise be deemed to have represented and warranted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not a Net Short Lender (it being understood and agreed that the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on each such representation and deemed representation).

241

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the affected Lenders and shall be binding upon Holdings, the Borrower, the other Credit Parties, such Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and all future holders of the affected Loans. In the case of any waiver, Holdings, the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, it being understood that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. In connection with the foregoing provisions, the Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender.

(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to any credit extensions and related Incremental Amendment(s), Extension Amendment(s) and Refinancing Amendment(s) effectuated without the consent of Lenders in accordance with Section 2.14, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent, Holdings and the Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the Term Loans and the Revolving Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders, Required Revolving Credit Lenders or Required Facility Lenders and other definitions related to such new Term Loans and Revolving Loans.

(f)In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans of any Class (“Refinanced Term Loans”) with a replacement term loan tranche (“Replacement Term Loans”) hereunder; provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans (plus an amount equal to all accrued but unpaid interest, fees, premiums, and expenses incurred in connection therewith (including original issue discount, upfront fees and similar items) and unused commitments in respect thereof) unless otherwise permitted hereunder (including utilization of any other available baskets or incurrence based amounts), (b) other than Replacement Term Loans incurred under the Inside Maturity Basket, the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing, and (c) the covenants, events of default and guarantees applicable to the Replacement Term Loans shall not be materially more restrictive to the Borrower (as determined in good faith by the Borrower), when taken as a whole, than the terms of the Refinanced Term Loans (except for (1) covenants, events of default and guarantees which are on market terms as determined by the Borrower in good faith, (2) covenants, events of default and guarantees applicable only to periods after the Maturity Date (as of the date of the refinancing) of such Class of Refinanced Term Loans and (3) pricing, fees, rate floors, premiums, optional prepayment or redemption terms) unless the Lenders under the other Classes of Term Loans existing on the refinancing date (other than the Refinanced Term Loans), receive the benefit of such more restrictive terms.

242

The Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent by the Credit Parties on any Collateral shall be automatically released (i) in full, upon the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all Obligations hereunder (except for Secured Cash Management Obligations, Secured Bank Product Obligations, Secured Hedge Obligations and contingent obligations in respect of which a claim has not yet been made) and termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit that have been Cash Collateralized, “rolled” or “grandfathered” into a new credit facility or backstopped in a manner reasonably acceptable to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent), (ii) upon the sale or other disposition of such Collateral (including as part of or in connection with any other sale or other disposition permitted hereunder) to any Person other than another Credit Party, to the extent such sale or other disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Credit Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii) to the extent such Collateral is comprised of property leased to a Credit Party, upon termination or expiration of such lease, (iv) if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance with this Section 13.1), (v) to the extent the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the applicable Guarantee (in accordance with the second following sentence), (vi) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents, and (vii) if such assets constitute Excluded Stock and Stock Equivalents or otherwise constitute Excluded Property. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those being released) upon (or obligations (other than those being released) of the Credit Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Credit Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral except to the extent otherwise released in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Documents. Additionally, the Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor shall be automatically released from the Guarantees upon consummation of any transaction not prohibited by this Agreement resulting in such Subsidiary ceasing to constitute a Restricted Subsidiary or upon becoming an Excluded Subsidiary. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to, and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent agree to, execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or desirable or reasonably requested by the Borrower to evidence and confirm the release of any Guarantor or Collateral pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to, and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent agree to, execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or desirable or reasonably requested by the Borrower to evidence and confirm the subordination of any Collateral subject to an easement, purchase money security interest or Finance Lease Obligation, in each case to the extent such easement, purchase money security interest or Finance Lease Obligation is permitted by the terms hereof, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender.

provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Person with respect to Indemnified Liabilities (i) resulting from disputes between and among any Indemnified Persons (or any of such Indemnified Person’s Affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, controlling persons, members or the successors of any of the foregoing) that does not involve an act or omission by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any claims against the Administrative Agent or the Lead Arrangers in their respective capacities as such, subject to the immediately succeeding clause (ii)) or (ii) to the extent it has been determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person (or any of such Indemnified Person’s Affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, controlling persons, members or the successors of any of the foregoing) or (y) a material breach of any Credit Document by such Indemnified Person (or any of such Indemnified Person’s Affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, controlling persons, members or the successors of any of the foregoing). No Person entitled to indemnification under clause (c) above and no other Person party to this Agreement shall be liable (1) for any damages to any other Indemnified Person or party hereto arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement except to the extent that such damage resulted from bad faith, material breach, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person, such other Person or any of such Indemnified Person’s or such other Person’s Affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, controlling persons, members or the successors of any of the foregoing or (2) for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date); provided that this clause (2) shall not limit the Borrower’s indemnity or reimbursement obligations to the extent such special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages are included in any claim by a third party unrelated to or unaffiliated with such Indemnified Person with respect to which the applicable Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification in accordance with Section 13.5(c). All amounts due under this Section 13.5 shall be paid within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor (together with backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request); provided that an Indemnified Person shall promptly refund any amount to the extent that there is a final judicial or arbitral determination that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification rights with respect to such payment pursuant to this Section 13.5.

246

The Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without the Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with the Borrower’s prior written consent or if there is a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction for the plaintiff in any such proceeding, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all actual losses, damages, claims or liabilities incurred or suffered and reasonable and documented legal or other out-of-pocket expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with, and to the extent provided in, the other provisions of this Section 13.5.

The Borrower and its respective Subsidiaries shall not, without the prior written consent of any Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceedings in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such proceedings and (ii) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability, wrongdoing or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

Each Indemnified Person, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Section 13.5, agrees to refund and return any and all amounts paid by the Borrower (or on its behalf) to it if, pursuant to limitations on indemnification set forth in this Section 13.5, such Indemnified Person was not entitled to receipt of such amounts.

The agreements in this Section 13.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. This Section 13.5 shall not apply with respect to Taxes, other than any Taxes that represent liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, costs, expenses, or disbursements, etc., arising from any non-Tax claim.

13.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(a)The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) except as expressly permitted by Section 10.3, the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 13.6 (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Lender without in compliance with this Section 13.6 shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in clause (c) of this Section 13.6) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Lead Arrangers and the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders and each other Person entitled to indemnification under Section 13.5) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

247

(b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (b)(ii) below and Section 13.7 and subject to the Assignment/Participation Limitations, 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 of any Class and the Loans (including participations in L/C Obligations or Swingline Loans) of any Class at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent, in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that, without limitation, the Borrower shall have the right to withhold or delay its consent to any assignment (whether or not reasonable) (x) in order for such assignment to comply with applicable law, the Borrower would be required to obtain the consent of, or make any filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority, (y) if such assignment is to a Disqualified Lender (or to a Person that is not a Disqualified Lender but is known by the Borrower to be an Affiliate of a Disqualified Lender regardless of whether such person is identifiable as an Affiliate of a Disqualified Lender on the basis of such Affiliate’s name or otherwise) or (z) of Term Loans to any Person (including any Person that manages or advises funds) that invests (or who has any Affiliates that invest) directly or indirectly in distressed debt, “special situations” or “opportunities”) of:

(A)the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for (1) an assignment of Term Loans to (X) a Lender or Lead Arranger, (Y) an Affiliate of a Lender or Lead Arranger, or (Z) an Approved Fund or (2) an assignment of Loans or Commitments to any assignee if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and

(B)the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and, in the case of Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans only, the Swingline Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer (in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Commitment or Loan to a Lender or Lead Arranger, an Affiliate of a Lender or Lead Arranger, an Approved Fund or, in the case of any Term Loan, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or an Affiliated Lender.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such assignment shall be made to (i) a natural Person (a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated by or for the primary benefit of a natural Person), Excluded Affiliate, Disqualified Lender or Defaulting Lender and (ii) with respect to the Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Affiliated Lender; it being understood that such prohibition shall not apply to assignment to a Bona Fide Debt Fund. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation with respect to, and shall bear no responsibility or liability for, the monitoring or enforcing of the list of Persons who are Disqualified Lenders (or any provisions relating thereto) at any time and (y) the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment of Loans or Commitments, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender; provided that the Administrative Agent may confirm, verbally upon request of any Lender, whether any potential assignee is a Disqualified Lender (provided that such Lender agrees to keep such identity confidential). No Agent shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof. The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party.

248

(i)Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A)except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the case of Revolving Commitments and, other than with respect to assignments in connection with the primary syndication of the Term Loans, $1,000,000 in the case of Term Loans, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents; provided that contemporaneous assignments by a Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of meeting the minimum assignment amount requirements stated above (and simultaneous assignments to or by two or more Related Funds shall be treated as one assignment), if any;

(B)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; provided that this clause (B) shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;

(C)the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system or other method reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment; provided further that such recordation fee shall not be payable in the case of assignments by or to any Affiliate of any Lead Arrangers or any assignment in compliance with Section 13.6(h);

(D)the assignee, if it was not a Lender prior to such assignment, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (the “Administrative Questionnaire”) and applicable tax forms (as required under Section 5.4(e)); and

(E)any assignment to Holdings, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or an Affiliated Lender (other than a Bona Fide Debt Fund) shall also be subject to the requirements of Section 13.6(h).

For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation with respect to, and shall bear no responsibility or liability for, the tracking or monitoring of assignments to or participations by any Affiliated Lender.

249

(ii)Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b)(v) of this Section 13.6 from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations (other than under Section 13.16) under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance 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 entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 3.5, 5.4 and 13.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.6 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 clause (c) of this Section 13.6 to the extent such sale otherwise complies with the requirements under clause (c) of this Section 13.6. For the avoidance of doubt, in case of an assignment to a new Lender pursuant to this Section 13.6, (i) the Administrative Agent, the new Lender and other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the new Lender been an original Lender signatory to this Agreement with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the assignment and to the extent of the assignment the assigning Lender shall each be released from further obligations under the Credit Documents and (ii) the benefit of each Security Document shall be maintained in favor of the new Lender.

(iii)The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans (and related interest amounts) owing to each Lender, and any payment made by any Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit, pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of the Credit Documents, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. No assignment shall be effective unless recorded in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers, the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and, with respect to itself, any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Register is intended to cause each Loan and other obligation hereunder to be in registered form within the meaning of Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code.

(iv)Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and applicable tax forms as required under Section 5.4(e) (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 13.6(b)(ii)(C) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 13.6(b)(i), the Administrative Agent shall promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment, whether or not evidenced by a promissory note, shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this clause (b)(iv).

250

(c)(i)             Subject to the Assignment/Participation Limitations, any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than (x) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, (y) any Disqualified Lender and (z) any Defaulting Lender; provided that the Administrative Agent may confirm, verbally upon request of any Lender, whether any potential participant is a Disqualified Lender (provided that such Lender agrees to keep such identity confidential)) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Swingline Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in such capacity) shall (x) have no obligation to, and shall bear no responsibility or liability for, ascertaining, monitoring or inquiring as to whether any Lender is a Net Short Lender, (y) have no obligation with respect to, and shall bear no responsibility or liability for, the monitoring or enforcing of the list of Disqualified Lenders with respect to the sales of participations at any time and (z) have no liability with respect to or arising out of any participation of Loans or Commitments, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to (I) enforce this Agreement and (II) approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; 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 described in clauses (x)(i) and (x)(iv) of the second proviso to Section 13.1 that directly and adversely affects such Participant; provided further that no Participant shall have any consultation right or, before any such amendment, modification or waiver has become effective, be entitled to receive any information in respect of any other amendment, modification or waiver request with respect to any other amendment pursuant to Section 13.1. Subject to clause (c)(ii) of this Section 13.6, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 3.5 and 5.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections as though it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 13.6, including the requirements of clause (e) of Section 5.4) (it being agreed that any documentation required under Section 5.4(e) shall be provided to the participating Lender, and if additional amounts are required to be paid to a Participant pursuant to Section 5.4, such participating Lender shall provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent information reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent regarding such documentation and the Participant’s entitlement to additional amounts pursuant to Section 5.4). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.8(b) as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant shall be subject to Section 13.8(a) as though it were a Lender.

(ii)A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10, 3.5 or 5.4 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the sale of the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent may be withheld in the Borrower’s sole discretion). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register complying with the requirements of Sections 163(f), 871(h) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and United States Treasury Regulations issued thereunder on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest amounts) 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, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of the Credit Documents notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or as is otherwise required by law.

251

(d)Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, 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, and this Section 13.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e)[Reserved]

(f)The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(g)SPV Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or in any country outside of the United States. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.6, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) other than a Disqualified Lender providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) subject to Section 13.16, disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV. As to any SPV, this Section 13.6(g) may not be amended without the written consent of such SPV. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement but subject to the following sentence, each SPV shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 3.5 and 5.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections as though it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 13.6, including the requirements of clause (e) of Section 5.4 (it being agreed that any documentation required under Section 5.4(e) shall be provided solely to the Granting Lender, and if additional amounts are required to be paid to a SPV pursuant to Section 5.4, such Granting Lender shall provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent information reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent regarding such documentation and the SPV’s entitlement to additional amounts pursuant to Section 5.4)). Notwithstanding the prior sentence, an SPV shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10, 3.5 or 5.4 than its Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the grant to such SPV, unless such grant to such SPV is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent may be withheld in the Borrower’s sole discretion). If a Granting Lender grants an option to an SPV as described herein and such grant is not reflected in the Register, the Granting Lender, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a separate register as if it were the Administrative Agent for the purposes of the Register provisions set forth in this Agreement, and the principles of Section 13.6(b)(iv) shall apply to such Granting Lender and the register; provided further that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose any portion of such register to any Person (including the identity of any SPV or any information relating to an SPV’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) except to the extent disclosure is necessary to establish that the Loans, Letters of Credit or other interests hereunder are in registered form for United States federal income Tax purposes under Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c) or as is otherwise required by applicable Requirements of Law.

252

(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (x) any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments to Holdings, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or an Affiliated Lender and (y) Holdings, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or an Affiliated Lender may, from time to time, purchase or prepay Term Loans or terminate Term Loan Commitments, in each case, on a non-pro rata basis through (1) Dutch auction procedures open to all applicable Lenders in accordance with customary procedures to be mutually agreed between the Borrower and the Auction Agent or (2) any other non pro rata purchases; provided that:

(i)any Term Loans or Term Loan Commitments acquired by Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall be retired and cancelled promptly upon the acquisition thereof, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law as determined in good faith by the Borrower and its advisors (and any such Loans not cancelled shall be subject to the voting and other restrictions applicable to Affiliated Lenders);

(ii)by its acquisition of Loans or Commitments, an Affiliated Lender shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that:

(A)it shall not have any right to (x) attend or participate in (including, in each case, by telephone) any meeting (including “lender only” meetings) or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any Lender which representatives of the Borrower are not permitted to attend or participate in, (y) receive any information or material prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among the Administrative Agent and one or more Lenders or any other material which is “lender only”, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to the Borrower or its representatives (and in any case, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Section 2) or receive any advice of counsel to the Administrative Agent or (z) make any challenge to the Administrative Agent’s or any other Lender’s attorney-client privilege on the basis of its status as a Lender; and

(B)except with respect to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action (I) in Section 13.1 requiring the consent of all Lenders, all Lenders of the applicable Class, all Lenders directly and adversely affected or specifically such Lender, (II) that alters an Affiliated Lender’s pro rata share of any payments given to all Lenders, or (III) that affects the Affiliated Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) in a manner that is disproportionate to the effect on any Lender in the same Class, the Loans held by an Affiliated Lender shall be disregarded in both the numerator and denominator in the calculation of any Lender vote (and, in the case of a plan of reorganization that does not affect the Affiliated Lender in a manner that is adverse to such Affiliated Lender relative to other Lenders, shall be deemed to have voted its interest in the Term Loans in the same proportion as the other Lenders in the same Class) (and shall be deemed to have been voted in the same percentage as all other applicable Lenders voted if necessary to give legal effect to this paragraph (B)) (but, in any event, in connection with any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action, shall be entitled to any consent fee, calculated as if all of such Affiliated Lender’s Loans had voted in favor of any matter for which a consent fee or similar payment is offered);

253

(iii)no such acquisition by an Affiliated Lender shall be permitted if, after giving effect to such acquisition, the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders would exceed 30% of the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding at the time of such purchase; provided that to the extent any assignment to an Affiliated Lender would result in the aggregate principal amount of all Loans held by Affiliated Lenders exceeding such 30% threshold at the time of such purchase, the purchase of such excess amount will be void ab initio;

(iv)any such Loans acquired by an Affiliated Lender may, with the consent of the Borrower, be (but shall not be required to be) contributed to the Borrower (whether through any of its direct or indirect parent entities or otherwise) and exchanged for debt or equity securities of the Borrower or such parent entity that are otherwise permitted to be issued by such entity at such time (and such Loans or Commitments contributed to the Borrower shall immediately be retired and cancelled to the extent not prohibited by applicable law as determined in good faith by the Borrower or its advisors (and any such Loans not cancelled shall be subject to the voting and other restrictions applicable to Affiliated Lenders));

(v)no assignment of Term Loans to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (x) may be purchased with the proceeds of any Revolving Loans or (y) may occur while a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder;

(vi)in connection with each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.6(h), none of Holdings, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or an Affiliated Lender purchasing any Lender’s Term Loans shall be required to make a representation that it is not in possession of MNPI with respect to Holdings and its Subsidiaries or their respective securities, and all parties to such transaction may render customary “big boy” letters to each other (or to the Auction Agent, if applicable); and

(vii)in the case of any Term Loans (A) acquired by, or contributed to, Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof and (B) cancelled and retired in accordance with this Section 13.6(h), (1) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans of the applicable Class shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of such Term Loans acquired by, or contributed to, Holdings, the Borrower or such Subsidiary and (2) any scheduled principal repayment installments with respect to the Term Loans of such Class occurring pursuant to Sections 2.5(b) and (c), as applicable, prior to the final maturity date for Term Loans of such Class, shall be reduced pro rata by the par value of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans so purchased or contributed (and subsequently cancelled and retired).

254

For avoidance of doubt, the foregoing limitations in Section 13.6(h) shall not be applicable to Bona Fide Debt Funds. Each Lender that sells its Term Loans pursuant to this Section 13.6 acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Affiliated Lenders or Holdings and its Subsidiaries may come into possession of additional information regarding the Loans or the Credit Parties at any time after a repurchase has been consummated that was not known to such Lender or the Affiliated Lenders at the time such repurchase was consummated and that, when taken together with information that was known to the Affiliated Lenders at the time such repurchase was consummated, may be information that would have been material to such Lender’s decision to enter into an assignment of such Term Loans hereunder (“Excluded Information”), (ii) such Lender will independently make its own analysis and determination to enter into an assignment of its Loans and to consummate the transactions contemplated by an auction notwithstanding such Lender’s lack of knowledge of Excluded Information and (iii) none of the direct or indirect equityholders of Holdings, Sponsor or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person, shall have any liability to such Lender with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information.

13.7 Replacements of Lenders Under Certain Circumstances.

(a)The Borrower shall be permitted (x) to replace any Lender with a replacement bank, other financial institution or other Person (other than a natural Person or a Disqualified Lender) or (y) terminate the Commitment of such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer (and prepay the Obligations owed to such Person on a non pro rata basis), as the case may be, and (1) in the case of a Lender (other than a Letter of Credit Issuer), repay all Obligations of the Borrower due and owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date and (2) in the case of a Letter of Credit Issuer only, repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Letter of Credit Issuer relating to the Loans and participations held by such Letter of Credit Issuer as of such termination date and cancel or Cash Collateralize any Letters of Credit issued by it (in each case above, in respect of any applicable Class only, at the election of the Borrower) that (I) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.10, 3.5 or 5.4, (II) is affected in the manner described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) and as a result thereof any of the actions described in such Section is required to be taken or (III) is or becomes a Disqualified Lender or a Defaulting Lender; provided that, solely in the case of the foregoing clause (x), (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) the Borrower shall repay (or the replacement bank, other financial institution or other Person (other than a natural Person or a Disqualified Lender) shall purchase, at par (or in the case of a Disqualified Lender, the lesser of par and the amount such Disqualified Lender paid for such Loan or participation)) all Loans and other amounts pursuant to Section 2.10, 3.5 or 5.4, as the case may be, owing to such replaced Lender (in respect of any applicable Credit Facility only, at the election of the Borrower) prior to the date of replacement, (iii) the replacement bank, other financial institution or other Person (other than a natural Person or a Disqualified Lender), if not already a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Affiliated Lender or Approved Fund, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (solely to the extent such consent would be required under Section 13.6), (iv) the replacement bank, other financial institution or other Person (other than a natural Person or a Disqualified Lender), if not already a Lender, shall be subject to the provisions of Section 13.6(b), (v) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6 (provided that, unless otherwise agreed, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), and (vi) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

255

(b)If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) (I) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that pursuant to the terms of Section 13.1 requires the consent of either (i) all of the Lenders of the applicable Class or Classes directly and adversely affected or (ii) all of the Lenders of the applicable Class or Classes, and, in each case, with respect to which the Required Lenders (or Required Facility Lenders in respect of the applicable Class or Classes) or a majority (in principal amount) of the directly and adversely affected Lenders shall, in each such case, have granted their consent, or (II) refuses to make an Extension Election pursuant to Section 2.14, then the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent or makes the extension), at its sole expense, to (x) replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans and its Commitments hereunder (in respect of any applicable Class only, at the election of the Borrower) to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (to the extent such consent would be required under Section 13.6) or (y) terminate the Commitment of such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, and (1) in the case of a Lender (other than a Letter of Credit Issuer), repay all Obligations of the Borrower due and owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date (in respect of any applicable Class only, at the election of the Borrower) and (2) in the case of a Letter of Credit Issuer only, repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Letter of Credit Issuer relating to the Loans and participations held by such Letter of Credit Issuer as of such termination date and cancel or Cash Collateralize any Letters of Credit issued by it; provided that all Obligations hereunder of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrower or the replacement Lender, as applicable, concurrently with such assignment and the amount, if any, owing to such Lender pursuant to Section 5.1(b) if such replacement is made in connection with a Repricing Transaction. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 13.6; provided that the failure of any such Non-Consenting Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance in accordance with Section 13.6 or deliver its applicable promissory notes shall not render such assignment invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register and such promissory notes shall be deemed to be canceled upon such failure.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Disqualified Lender that purports to become a Lender hereunder (notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement that prohibit Disqualified Lenders from becoming Lenders) without the Borrower’s written consent shall (i) be entitled to any of the rights or privileges enjoyed by the other Lenders with respect to voting, information and lender meetings, (ii) be entitled to any expense reimbursement or indemnification under the Credit Documents, and nothing in the Credit Documents shall restrict the rights and remedies of the Credit Parties against such Disqualified Lender, (iii) receive any information or reporting provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (iv) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent or (v) access any electronic site established for Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders.

256

(b)After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Credit Parties, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower and the other Credit Parties to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Credit Parties hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) (other than any escrow, payroll, trust, tax, fiduciary, employee health and benefits, pension, 401(k), and petty cash accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case then matured and owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or the other Credit Parties.

13.17 Direct Website Communications. The Borrower may, at its option, provide to the Administrative Agent any information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Credit Documents, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial, and other reports, certificates, and other information materials, but, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, excluding any such communication that (A) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing, borrowing or other extension of credit (including any election of an interest rate or interest period relating thereto) or (B) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to the Administrative Agent at an email address provided by the Administrative Agent from time to time; provided that (i) upon written request by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver paper copies of such documents to the Administrative Agent for further distribution to each Lender until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Borrower shall notify (which may be by facsimile or electronic mail) the Administrative Agent of the posting of any such documents and provide to the Administrative Agent by electronic mail electronic versions (i.e., soft copies) of such documents. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for timely accessing posted documents or requesting delivery of paper copies of such documents from the Administrative Agent and maintaining its copies of such documents. Nothing in this Section 13.17 shall prejudice the right of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Credit Document in any other manner specified in such Credit Document.

The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth on Schedule 13.2 shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Credit Documents. Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Credit Documents. Each Lender agrees (A) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (B) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

(a)The Borrower further agrees that any Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Intralinks or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”), so long as the access to such Platform (i) is limited to the Agents, the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Participants and (ii) remains subject to the confidentiality requirements set forth in Section 13.16.

(b)THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY MATERIALS OR INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE CREDIT PARTIES (THE “BORROWER MATERIALS”) OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall (x) the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties” and, each, an “Agent Party”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, or any other Person or (y) Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries have any liability to any Agent, any Lender or any other Person, in each case, for losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses, in each case, actually incurred or suffered of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Credit Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the internet, except to the extent, in the case of clause (x), the liability of any Agent Party resulted from such Agent Party’s (or any of its Related Parties’ (other than any trustee or advisor)) gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of the Credit Documents, in each case, as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or, in the case of clause (y), the liability of any of Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries resulted from such Person’s (or any of its Related Parties’ (other than any trustee or advisor)) gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of the Credit Documents, in each case, as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

261

(c)The Borrower and each Lender acknowledges that certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (Lenders that do not wish to receive MNPI with respect to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or their respective securities) and, if documents or notices required to be delivered pursuant to the Credit Documents or otherwise are being distributed through the Platform, any document or notice that the Borrower has indicated contains only publicly available information with respect to the Borrower may be posted on that portion of the Platform designated for such public-side Lenders. If the Borrower has not indicated whether a document or notice delivered contains only publicly available information, the Administrative Agent shall post such document or notice solely on that portion of the Platform designated for Lenders who wish to receive MNPI with respect to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to indicate whether any document or notice to be distributed through the Platform contains only publicly available information; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to mark any materials “PUBLIC”; provided further that, the following documents shall be deemed to be marked “PUBLIC,” unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly (after the Borrower has been given a reasonable opportunity to review such documents) that any such document contains material nonpublic information: (1) the Credit Documents, (2) any notification of changes in the terms of any Credit Facility and (3) all financial statements and certificates delivered pursuant to Sections 9.1(a) and (b). In no event shall the Administrative Agent distribute Compliance Certificates (unless the Borrower has agreed in writing that such Compliance Certificate can be distributed to “public-side” Lenders) or Projections delivered hereunder to “public-side” Lenders. Each “public side” Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Person 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 side” Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Person’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including foreign, United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” and that may contain material non-public information with respect to, the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

13.18 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”) and the requirements of the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

13.19 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party, in connection with any proceeding or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.

262

13.20 No Fiduciary Duty; Interested Creditors.

(a)Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Credit Parties, their stockholders and/or their affiliates. Each Credit Party agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Credit Party, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) except as otherwise expressly agreed in writing, no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Credit Party, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Credit Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Credit Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Credit Party, its management, stockholders or creditors. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Credit Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Credit Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

(b)Each Credit Party, Lender and any other Secured Party hereby acknowledges that any of the Lead Arrangers and/or any of their respective Related Parties or other Affiliates (including Excluded Affiliates) may currently be, or may at any time on and after the date hereof become, a creditor under any of the Credit Parties’ other indebtedness (including any indebtedness intended to be refinanced, in whole or in part, with the proceeds of the Loans) and/or a Lender hereunder (collectively, “Interested Creditors”). Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees for itself and its respective Subsidiaries that any such Interested Creditor (if any) (a) will be acting for its own account as principal in connection with such indebtedness, (b) will be under no obligation or duty as a result of any such Lead Arranger’s role in connection with the arrangement of the Loans or otherwise to take any action or refrain from taking any action (including with respect to voting for or against any requested amendments), or to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights or remedies, that the Interested Creditors may be entitled to take or exercise in respect of such indebtedness, and (c) may manage its exposure to such indebtedness without regard to any such Lead Arranger’s role hereunder. Each party hereto further agrees not to assert any claim against any such Lead Arranger or any of their respective Related Parties or Affiliates that such Person might allege based on any actual or potential conflicts of interest that might be asserted to arise or result from, on the one hand, the engagement of such Lead Arranger to arrange any portion of the Loans hereunder and, on the other hand, such Lead Arranger’s or its respective Related Parties’ or Affiliates’ relationships with the Borrower or the Sponsor (or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates) as an Interested Creditor.

13.21 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Credit Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

13.22 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit 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 Credit 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:

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

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

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

(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent 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 Credit 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.

13.23 Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Credit Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, of Swap Obligations or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Credit 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):

264

(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 Credit 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 Credit 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.

(b)As used in this ‎Section 13.23, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

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

“Default Right” shall have 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.

“QFC” shall have 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).
