1.4. Interest Rates; LIBOR Benchmark Notification. The interest rate on a Loan denominated in dollars may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that may be discontinued or is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued, and/or the basis on which they are calculated may change. The London interbank offered

51

rate (“LIBOR”) is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that: immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of all seven euro LIBOR settings, all seven Swiss Franc LIBOR settings, the spot next, 1-week, 2-month and 12-month Japanese Yen LIBOR settings, the overnight, 1-week, 2-month and 12-month British Pound Sterling LIBOR settings, and the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after December 31, 2021, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month Japanese Yen LIBOR settings and the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month British Pound Sterling LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to consultation by the FCA, be provided on a changed methodology (or “synthetic”) basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored; and immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition, or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. Each party to this agreement should consult its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, Section 2.17(b) and (c) provide s a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Parent Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.17(e), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Term Benchmark Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to the LIBOR or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate”any interest rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (1) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.17(b) or (c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and (2) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.17(d)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO existing interest R r ate (being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered any existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any liability arising out of the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any Term Benchmark interest R r ate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrowers, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service;

52

provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any liability arising out of the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent.
1.5 Limited Condition Acquisitions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of determining (i) pro forma compliance with the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio or the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, (ii) the amount of any basket set forth in Section 7 which is based on a percentage of Consolidated Total Assets or (iii) whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in each case, required to be satisfied under this Agreement as a condition in connection with the consummation of a Limited Condition Acquisition, the date of such determination shall, at the written election of the Parent Borrower (with such election to be made on or prior to, or reasonably promptly following, the date on which the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are executed by the parent Borrower or its applicable Restricted Subsidiary) (an “LCA Election”), be the time the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (the “LCA Test Date”) after giving pro forma effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof), in each case, as if they occurred at the beginning of the applicable Reference Period, and, for the avoidance of doubt, (x) if any of such ratios or amounts are exceeded following the LCA Test Date as a result of fluctuations in such ratio or amount including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the Parent Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Acquisition, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the relevant transaction or action is permitted to be consummated or taken and (y) if any of such ratios or amounts improve following the LCA Test Date as a result of the information in the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.1, the Parent Borrower may provide a written election to have such ratios recalculated as of the end of the fiscal quarter related to such financial statements for purposes of determining whether other transactions or actions are permitted to be consummated or taken from and after such date; provided, in connection with an LCA Election, the Indebtedness (including any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 2.25 or 7.2(n)) to be incurred in connection with the applicable Limited Condition Acquisition (and any associated Lien) shall be deemed incurred at the LCA Test Date (until such time as the Indebtedness is actually incurred or the applicable acquisition agreement is terminated without actually consummating the applicable Limited Condition Acquisition (in which case such Limited Condition Acquisition and the incurrence of related Indebtedness will not be treated as having occurred)) and outstanding thereafter for purposes of pro forma compliance with any applicable ratios, tests or other baskets, as the case may be (other than any ratio contained in Section 7.1, any determination of the Applicable Margin, or any ratios, tests or baskets relating to permitting Restricted Payments). The conditions set forth in Section 5.1 may, at the election of Parent Borrower for any Limited Condition Acquisition be limited to, with respect to Section 5.1(a), those customary specified or certain funds representations and, with respect to Section 5.1(b), the absence of any Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f), as are the limited conditions to the applicable Limited Condition Acquisition.

If the Swingline Lender agrees, in its sole discretion, to make a Swingline Loan, not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified in a notice in respect of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the Swingline Loan to be made by the Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall
make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the applicable Borrower on such Borrowing Date by depositing such proceeds in the account of the applicable Borrower with the Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date in immediately available funds.
(b)The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of the applicable Borrower (and each Borrower hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), on one Business Day’s notice given by the Swingline Lender no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, request each Revolving Lender to make, and each Revolving Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”), outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lender. Each Revolving Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding

57

Office in immediately available funds, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business Day after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender for application by the Swingline Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans. Each Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to charge such Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the amount of such Refunded Swingline Loans of such Borrower to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swingline Loans.
(c)If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.7(b), one of the events described in Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to any Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swingline Lender in its sole discretion, Revolving Loans may not be made as contemplated by Section 2.7(b), each Revolving Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.7(b), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans by paying to the Swingline Lender an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding that were to have been repaid with such Revolving Loans.
(d)Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Revolving Lender such Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swingline Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swingline Lender.
(e)Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.7(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.7(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender or any Borrower may have against the Swingline Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Revolving Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
2.8 Commitment Fees, etc. (a) The Parent Borrower agrees to pay in Dollars to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Fourth Restatement Effective Date to the last day of the Revolving Commitment Period, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Fourth Restatement Effective Date.
(b)[Reserved].

58

(c)[Reserved].
(d)The Parent Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in any fee agreements with the Administrative Agent and to perform any other obligations contained therein.
(e)Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that, if there are any Mortgaged Properties, any increase, extension or renewal of any of the Commitments or Loans (including the provision of Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Commitments or any other incremental credit facilities hereunder, but excluding (i) any continuation or conversion of borrowings, (ii) the making of any Revolving Loans or (iii) the issuance, renewal or extension of Letters of Credit) shall be subject to (and conditioned upon): (1) the prior delivery of all flood hazard determination certifications, acknowledgements and evidence of flood insurance and other flood-related documentation with respect to such Mortgaged Properties as required by Flood Insurance Laws and as otherwise reasonably required by the Administrative Agent and (2) the Administrative Agent shall have received written confirmation from the Flood Designated Lender that flood insurance due diligence and flood insurance compliance has been completed by the Flood Designated Lender (such written confirmation not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
2.9 Termination or Reduction of Revolving Commitments. The Parent Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments shall be permitted if after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Commitments then in effect. Any notice of termination given by the Parent Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or capital raising, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Parent Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.
2.10 [Reserved].
2.11 Optional Prepayments. The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than (a) 12:00 P.M., New York City time, three Business Days prior thereto, in the case of Term Benchmark Loans or five Business Days prior, in the case of Daily Simple SOFR Borrowings (if applicable following a Benchmark Replacement) and (b) no later than 12:00 P.M., New York City time, one Business Day prior thereto, in the case of ABR Loans, which notice shall, in each case, specify the date and amount of prepayment, the Loans to be prepaid and whether the prepayment is of Term Benchmark Loans or ABR Loans; provided, that if a Term Benchmark Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.21. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans and Swingline Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid; provided, however, that any notice of prepayment given by any Borrower may state that such prepayment notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or capital raising, in which case such notice may be revoked by such Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Partial

59

prepayments of Term Loans and Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof. Partial prepayments of Swingline Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple thereof. Optional prepayments shall be applied to the prepayment of Term Loans as directed by the Parent Borrower.
2.12 Mandatory Prepayments . (a) If any Indebtedness shall be issued or incurred by any Group Member (excluding any Indebtedness incurred in accordance with Section 7.2 (other than Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 7.2(f)(ii))), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied on the date of such issuance or incurrence toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.12(c).
(b)Subject to Section 2.12(d), if on any date any Group Member shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event, which, together with the Net Cash Proceeds received from all other Asset Sales or Recovery Events in such fiscal year exceed the greater of $75,000,000 and 5.0% of Consolidated Total Assets of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries at such date, then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds in excess of the greater of $75,000,000 and 5.0% of Consolidated Total Assets of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries at such date, and an amount equal to all Net Cash Proceeds received thereafter in such fiscal year, shall be applied on such date of receipt toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.12(c); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.12(c).
(c)Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.18(b). The application of any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be made, first, to ABR Loans and, second, to Term Benchmark Loans. Each prepayment of the Term Loans under this Section 2.12 shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid.
(d)Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the following amounts shall be excluded from the calculation of the amount of Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event, as applicable:
(i)any Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary or Net Cash Proceeds from any Recovery Event with respect to a Foreign Subsidiary, as applicable, the distribution of which by a Foreign Subsidiary to the Parent Borrower or a Domestic Subsidiary or any holder of Capital Stock of such Foreign Subsidiary is prohibited or delayed by applicable local law. Any amount that is excluded from the calculation of Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with this Section 2.12(d)(i) will not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in Section 2.12(b) and may be deducted from any amounts otherwise due under Section 2.12(b), so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit a distribution of those funds by the Foreign Subsidiary (the Parent Borrower hereby agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts to take and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to take all commercially reasonable actions required by the applicable by the applicable law to eliminate such limitations). Once the distribution of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law, the Parent Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans (not later than five (5) Business Days after such distribution is permitted) by an amount equal to such portion of such affected amount, except, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that a Reinvestment Notice has been or shall be validly delivered pursuant to Section

60

2.12(b) in respect of such Net Cash Proceeds or to the extent Section 2.12(d)(ii) precludes such prepayment; and
(ii)any Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary or Net Cash Proceeds from any Recovery Event with respect to a Foreign Subsidiary, in each case, to the extent that the Parent Borrower has determined in its reasonable judgment that the distribution of any of or all such items to the Parent Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary or any holder of Capital Stock of such Foreign Subsidiary would have any adverse tax consequence. Any amount that is excluded from the calculation of Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with this Section 2.12(d)(ii) will not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in Section 2.12(b) and may be deducted from any amounts otherwise due under Section 2.12(b). Once the Parent Borrower determines in its reasonable judgment that a distribution of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds would cease to result in adverse tax consequences, the Parent Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans (not later than five (5) Business Days after such determination) by an amount equal to such portion of such affected amount, except, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that a Reinvestment Notice has been or shall be validly delivered pursuant to Section 2.12(b) in respect of such Net Cash Proceeds or to the extent Section 2.12(c)(i) precludes such prepayment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.12, in no event shall any Group Member be required to repatriate cash of Non-Domestic Subsidiaries to the United States or include such amounts in any mandatory prepayment formula in respect of any obligations of the Parent Borrower or any of its U.S. Subsidiaries arising out of the Loan Documents.
2.13 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The applicable Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Term Benchmark Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 12:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date, provided that any such conversion of Term Benchmark Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The applicable Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Term Benchmark Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no ABR Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Term Benchmark Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.
(b)Any Term Benchmark Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the applicable Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no Term Benchmark Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations or (ii) if an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 8(f) with respect to any Borrower is in existence, provided, further, that, if the applicable Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso any such Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then

61

expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.
2.14 Limitations on Term Benchmark Tranches . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Term Benchmark Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Term Benchmark Loans comprising each Term Benchmark Tranche shall be equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than ten Term Benchmark Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.
2.15 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Term Benchmark Loan shall bear interest in Dollars for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the LIBO Adjusted Term SOFR Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.
(b)Each ABR Loan shall bear interest in Dollars at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.
(c)[Reserved]Each Daily Simple SOFR Loan (if applicable following a Benchmark Replacement) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR plus the Applicable Margin.
(d)(i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest in the currency of such overdue amount at a rate per annum equal to
(x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2% and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest in the applicable currency at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans (assuming such amount is an ABR Loan in Dollars) under the relevant Facility plus 2% (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2%), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).
(e)Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to Section 2.15(c) shall be payable from time to time on demand.
2.16 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to ABR Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. In each case interest shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Parent Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Term Benchmark. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Parent Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

62

(b)Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Parent Borrower, deliver to the Parent Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.15(a).
(c)For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), the annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and stated herein or therein, as and if applicable, to be computed on the basis of any period of time less than the actual number of days in the calendar year for which the calculation is made) are equivalent are the rates so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year for which the calculation is made and divided by such period of time. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement and the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields. The Administrative Agent agrees that if requested in writing by the Parent Borrower it shall calculate the nominal and effective per annum rate of interest on any outstanding Loan at any time and provide such information to the Parent Borrower promptly on request, provided that any error in any such calculation, or any failure to provide such information on request, shall not relieve the Parent Borrower or any of the other Loan Parties of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, nor result in any liability to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. The Parent Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees not to plead or assert, whether by way of defence or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to the Loan Documents, that the interest payable under the Loan Documents and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to the Borrowers or any Loan Party, whether pursuant to Section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada) or any other applicable law or legal principle.
(d)If any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents would obligate the Canadian Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to the Lenders in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by the Lenders of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)) then, notwithstanding such provisions, 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 or so result in a receipt by the Lenders of interest at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (1) firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to the Lenders under Sections 2.15 and 2.16, and (2) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the Lenders which would constitute “interest” for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if the Lenders shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by that section of the Criminal Code (Canada), the Canadian Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent, to obtain reimbursement from the Lenders in an amount equal to such excess and, pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by the Lenders to the Canadian Borrower. Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Section 2.16(d) shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that the applicable Loan remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the Fourth Restatement Effective Date to the Maturity Date and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.

63

2.17 Inability to Determine Interest Rate.
(a)Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e), and (f) and (g) of this Section 2.17, if:
i. the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the Term SOFR Rate, (including because the LIBO Relevant Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period or (B) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR; or
ii. the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the LIBO Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the Term SOFR Rate, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender), as certified by such Lenders (or Lender), of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period or (B) at any time, the applicable Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Parent Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Parent Borrower delivers a new Interest Election Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.13 or a new Borrowing Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.5, (A) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing shall be ineffective and (B) if any Borrowing Request that requests a Term Benchmark Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing instead be deemed to be an Interest Election Request or a Borrowing Request, as applicable, for (x) a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 2.17(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) an ABR Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 2.17(a)(i) or (ii) above and (2) any Borrowing Request that requests a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be a Borrowing Request, as applicable, for an ABR Borrowing; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then all other Types of Borrowings shall be permitted. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or Daily Simple SOFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Parent Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 2.17(a) with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or Daily Simple SOFR Loan, then until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, then with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrower delivers a new Interest Election Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.13 or a new Borrowing Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.02, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), such Loan shall, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan on such day.(x) a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section

64

2.17(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 2.17(a)(i) or (ii) above, on such day, and (2) any Daily Simple SOFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute an ABR Loan.
b.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any Swap Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.17), if a Benchmark Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3 2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” with respect to Dollars for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders of each affected Class.
c.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, this clause (c) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent, with the approval of the Parent Borrower, has delivered to the Lenders and the Parent Borrower a Term SOFR Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after the occurrence of a Term SOFR Transition Event and may do so in its sole discretion subject to the approval of the Parent Borrower.
d c. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent will have the right (in consultation with the Parent Borrower) to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
e d. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark

65

Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.17, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.17 or the definitions set forth herein.
f e. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR or LIBO Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii i) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
g f. Upon the Parent Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Parent Borrower may revoke any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing or Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, either the Parent Borrower will be deemed to have converted any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans(A) a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) an ABR Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or Daily Simple SOFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Parent Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or Daily Simple SOFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.17, then(1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), such Loan shall, be

66

converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan on such day.(x) a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event, on such day and (2) any Daily Simple SOFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute an ABR Loan.
2.18 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by any Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Parent Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Tranche A Term Percentages or Revolving Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders.
(b)Each payment (including each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.12 but excluding any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11) by the Parent Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Lenders. The amount of each principal prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be applied, within each Tranche A Term Facility, (i) first to scheduled installments of the Tranche A Term Loans occurring within the next 12 months in direct order of maturity and (ii) thereafter, to reduce the then remaining installments of the Tranche A Term Loans pro rata based upon the respective then remaining principal amounts thereof. Each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11 by the Parent Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Tranche A Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective principal amounts of the Tranche A Term Loans then held by the Tranche A Term Lenders. Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
(c)Each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders.
(d)[Reserved].
(e)All payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to each relevant Lender or Fronting Lender, as the case may be, promptly upon receipt in like funds as received, net of any amounts owing by such Lender pursuant to Section 9.7. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Term Benchmark Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Term Benchmark Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
(f)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. If

67

such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the applicable Borrower.
(g)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by such Borrower hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by such Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against such Borrower.
(h)If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.7(b), 2.7(c), 2.11, 2.18(e), 2.18(f), 2.20(e), 3.4(a) or 9.7, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, any Fronting Lender or the Issuing Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.
2.19 Requirements of Law. (a) If any Governmental Authority shall have in effect at any time during the term of this Agreement any reserve requirements (including basic, supplemental, marginal and emergency reserves) under any regulations dealing with reserve requirements prescribed for eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency Liabilities” in Regulation D of the Board) maintained by a member bank of the Federal Reserve System, and the result of such requirement shall be to increase the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining any Loans that are based on the LIBO Rate and such Lender shall have requested, by notice to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which notice shall specify the Statutory Reserve Rate, if any, applicable to such Lender), compensation under this paragraph, then the Parent Borrower will pay to such Lender (until the earlier of the date such requirement is no longer in effect or the date such Lender shall withdraw such request) amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such additional costs of making or maintaining such Loans based on the LIBO Rate.
(b)If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any central bank or other Governmental Authority or compliance by any Lender

68

with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Fourth Restatement Effective Date:
(i)shall subject any Credit Party to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
(ii)shall, without duplication of reserves or other deposits contemplated by Section 2.19(a), impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit (or participations therein) by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Term Benchmark; or
(iii)shall impose on such Lender any other condition (other than Taxes);
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Credit Party, by an amount that such Lender or other Credit Party reasonably deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Parent Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender or such other Credit Party, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such other Credit Party for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender or such other Credit Party becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.
(c)If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Fourth Restatement Effective Date shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Parent Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction.
(d)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.
(e)[Reserved].

69

(f)[Reserved].
(g)A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.19(a), (b) or (c) submitted by any Lender to the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Parent Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such nine-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
(h)If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any central bank or other Governmental Authority or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Fourth Restatement Effective Date shall make it unlawful for any Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any extension of credit to any Additional Borrower or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement with respect to any extension of credit to any Additional Borrower, then, upon written notice by such Lender (each such Lender providing such notice, an “Impacted Lender”) to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent:
(i) the obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make extensions of credit to such Additional Borrower shall forthwith be (x) suspended until each Impacted Lender notifies the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing that it is no longer unlawful for such Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any extension of credit to such Additional Borrower or (y) to the extent required by law, cancelled;
(ii) if it shall be unlawful for any Impacted Lender to maintain or charge interest with respect to any outstanding Loan to such Additional Borrower, such Additional Borrower shall repay (or at its option and to the extent permitted by law, assign to the Parent Borrower) (x) all outstanding ABR Loans made to such Additional Borrower within three Business Days or such earlier period as required by law and (y) all outstanding Term Benchmark Loans made to such Additional Borrower on the last day of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Term Benchmark Loans or within such earlier period as required by law; and
(iii) if it shall be unlawful for any Impacted Lender to maintain, charge interest or hold any participation with respect to any Letter of Credit issued on behalf of such Additional Borrower, such Additional Borrower shall deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the L/C Obligations with respect to such Letters of Credit within three Business Days or within such earlier period as required by law.
2.20 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent or Loan Party, as the case may be) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent or Loan Party, as the case may be, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party to the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as

70

necessary so that, after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings for Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.20), the amount received by the applicable Credit Party equals the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made, unless such withholding or deduction is solely attributable to the willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent as found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(b)The Loan Parties shall severally timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.
(c)As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.20, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Loan Party, 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 the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or the Loan Party, as the case may be.
(d)The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally (provided, however, that no Excluded Foreign Subsidiary shall be liable for (or provide collateral security for) any Obligations or Guarantee Obligations of any U.S. Person (including any Guarantee Obligations with respect thereto) and no Excluded Collateral shall be pledged with respect thereto) indemnify each Credit Party (but, in the case of any Credit Party that is a Lender, only if such Lender shall be a Qualifying Lender as of the Fourth Restatement Effective Date), within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by such Credit Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Parent Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)Each Lender shall severally indemnify, within 10 days after demand therefor (i) the Administrative Agent for any Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) and (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, as applicable, for any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in either case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or any Borrower in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers under this paragraph (e).
(f)(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the

71

Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.20(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is a U.S. Person,
(A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;
(B)any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2)executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3)in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of any of the Borrowers within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form
W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

72

(4)to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C)any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D)if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Fourth Restatement Effective Date, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).
(iii) Each Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Parent Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times and in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient, executed copies of any form prescribed by applicable law (other than any form required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.20(f)(i) or (ii)) as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in withholding Tax imposed by the jurisdiction in which any relevant Loan Party is organized or located, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to (X) permit such Loan Party or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; or (Y) obtain authorization from any relevant Tax Authority to permit such Loan Party to make that payment without, or with a reduction in, withholding Tax. The Lender shall cooperate with such Loan Party, the Administrative Agent, and the Tax Authority in doing anything necessary to

73

enable payment to be made without, or with a reduction in, withholding Tax. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.20(f)(iii), the completion, execution and submission of such forms or other documentation shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g)If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund or credit of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.20 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund or credit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, including additional amounts paid, under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or credit). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund or credit to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund or credit had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(h)Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.20 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 Loan Documents.
(i)For purposes of this Section 2.20, the term “Lender” includes the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender.
(j)Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the case of Loans to a U.K. Borrower, a Lender who is not a Protected Qualifying Lender shall not be entitled to any additional payments under this Section for withheld or any Taxes payable by such Lender unless and until such Lender and such U.K. Borrower have obtained the appropriate approvals from the United Kingdom Tax Authorities that payments to be received by such Lender would be free from Tax. Thereafter, the additional amounts under this Section shall only apply to future Taxes.
(k)In the event that a Lender is a Treaty Lender that holds a passport under the United Kingdom HM Revenue & Customs Double Taxation Treaty Passport scheme (the “DTTP Scheme”) and that Treaty Lender wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement in respect of a U.K. Borrower, that Lender shall confirm its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in writing to the relevant Borrower and the Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days of the date on which it becomes

74

a Lender hereunder (or, if later, within 5 Business Days of the date on which such Borrower becomes a Borrower hereunder). Following receipt of such notification, the relevant Borrower shall, in respect of each Treaty Lender that has provided it with a DTTP Scheme reference number, submit a duly completed form DTTP2 (or such alternative form as may be specified by HM Revenue & Customs from time to time) to HM Revenue & Customs within 30 Business Days of the later of the date of this Agreement and the date of such notification or, where the relevant Treaty Lender becomes a Lender after the date of this Agreement, within 30 Business Days of the later of the date of the relevant Assignment and Acceptance executed by that Lender and the date of such notification, or where a relevant Person becomes an Additional Borrower, within 30 Business Days of the date on which that Additional Borrower becomes a Borrower in accordance with Section 10.21 of this Agreement (provided that the relevant Treaty Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in writing to the relevant Additional Borrower and the Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days of that date), and the relevant Borrower shall promptly provide the relevant Treaty Lender and the Administrative Agent with a copy of that filing.
2.21 Indemnity. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by such Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into, conversion from or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans based on the LIBO Rate after such Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by such Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Term Benchmark Loans based on the LIBO Rate after such Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment by such Borrower of Term Benchmark Loans based on the LIBO Rate on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurocurrency market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Parent Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
2.22 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.19 or 2.20(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Parent Borrower, use reasonable efforts to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event or assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates with the object of avoiding or minimizing the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending offices to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrowers or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a).
2.23 Replacement of Lenders. The Parent Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender if (a) the Lender requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a) or if the Loan Parties are required to pay Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts with respect thereto to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.20(a), (b) the Lender is then a Defaulting Lender, or (c) the Lender (the “Non-Consenting Lender”) does not consent to any

75

proposed amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (a “Proposed Change”) that requires the consent of each of the Lenders or each of the Lenders affected thereby (so long as the consent of the Required Lenders has been obtained), with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.22 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a), (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) each Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.21 if any Term Benchmark Loan based on the LIBO Rate of such Borrower owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) to the extent the Administrative Agent would have consent rights over an assignment of the applicable Loans or Commitments to the replacement financial institution pursuant to Section 10.6, the replacement financial institution shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that the Parent Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrowers shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a), as the case may be and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto.
2.24 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a)fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.8(a);
(b)the Revolving Commitment and Revolving Extensions of Credit of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.1); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby;
(c)if any Swingline Exposure or L/C Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
(i)all or any part of the Swingline Exposure (other than the portion of such Swingline Exposure referred to in clause (ii) of the definition of such term) and L/C Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Extensions of Credit plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and L/C Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments;
(ii)if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the

76

Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lender only the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8 for so long as such L/C Exposure is outstanding;
(iii)if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.3(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is cash collateralized;
(iv)if the L/C Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.8(a) and Section 3.3(a) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentages; and
(v)if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all fees payable under Section 3.3(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Lender until and to the extent that such L/C Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized;
(d)so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding L/C Exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.24(c), and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.24(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein); and
(e)(i) If a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to a Lender Parent of any Lender shall occur following the Fourth Restatement Effective Date and for so long as such event shall continue, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Lender, the Fronting Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Parent Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the Swingline Lender, the Fronting Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.
(ii)In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and L/C Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall

77

determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Revolving Percentage in accordance with its ratable share thereof.
2.25 Incremental Facilities. (a) The Parent Borrower and any one or more Lenders (including New Lenders) may from time to time agree that such Lenders shall make, obtain or increase the amount of their Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Commitments (any such increased Revolving Commitments, “Incremental Revolving Commitments”), as applicable, by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Facility Activation Notice specifying (i) the amount of such increase and the Facility or Facilities involved, (ii) the applicable Incremental Facility Closing Date and (iii) in the case of Incremental Term Loans, (w) the applicable Incremental Term Maturity Date, (x) the amortization schedule for such Incremental Term Loans and (y) the Applicable Margin for such Incremental Term Loans; provided, that:
(A)the aggregate principal amount (or committed amount, if applicable) of all Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments, together with the aggregate principal amount of any Incremental Equivalent Debt and the outstanding principal amount (or committed amount, if applicable) of any Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, shall not exceed the greater of (x) $2,000,000,000 and (y) an amount such that, on a pro forma basis, after giving effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness (and after giving effect to any transaction to be consummated in connection therewith and assuming that, in the case of Incremental Revolving Commitments, all such Incremental Revolving Commitments are fully drawn), the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio, recomputed as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Parent Borrower for which financial statements are available, is less than or equal to 3.25:1.00; provided that, with respect to any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments being incurred to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition for which the Parent Borrower has made an LCA Election, the relevant date for such determination of the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio shall be the LCA Test Date in accordance with Section 1.5;
(B)as of the applicable Incremental Facility Activation Date, immediately prior to and after giving effect to any Incremental Facility Activation Notice (including the making of any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments pursuant thereto), no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or shall result therefrom; provided that, with respect to any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments being incurred to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition for which the Parent Borrower has made an LCA Election, the relevant date for such determination shall be the LCA Test Date in accordance with Section 1.5 (provided that, if agreed by the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments, then at the written election of the Parent Borrower, this condition shall require only the absence of any Event of Default under Section 8(a) and Section 8(f));
(C)the Parent Borrower shall be in compliance, as of any Incremental Facility Activation Date, on a pro forma basis (including giving pro forma effect to the applicable Incremental Facility Activation Notice (including the making of any Incremental Term Loans and any Incremental Revolving Commitments thereunder (and assuming, in the case of any Incremental Facility Activation Notice with respect to Incremental Revolving Commitments that such commitments are fully drawn) and any Permitted Acquisition made with the proceeds thereof)), with the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.1, recomputed as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Parent Borrower for which financial statements are available; provided that, with respect to any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments being incurred to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition for which the Parent Borrower has made an LCA Election, the relevant date for such determination shall be the LCA Test Date in accordance with Section 1.5;

78

(D)each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that any representation or warranty which is already qualified as to materiality or by reference to Material Adverse Effect shall be true and correct in all respects) as of the applicable Incremental Facility Activation Date, immediately prior to and after giving effect to the applicable Incremental Facility Activation Notice (including the making of any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments (or Revolving Loans in respect thereof) pursuant thereto), in each case, unless stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date; provided that, with respect to any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments being incurred to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition for which the Parent Borrower has made an LCA Election, the relevant date for such determination shall be the LCA Test Date in accordance with Section 1.5 (provided that, if agreed by the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments, then at the written election of the Parent Borrower, the only representations and warranties that shall be required to be true and correct shall be those as are customarily required to be so true and correct in an acquisition subject to limited conditionality (which representations and warranties shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects as of the applicable Incremental Facility Activation Date, unless stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case, such representations and warranties shall be required to be so true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date));
(E)the weighted average life to maturity of any Incremental Term Facility shall be no earlier than the weighted average life to maturity of the Tranche A Term Facility; provided, that this clause (E) shall not apply to the Incremental Term Loans incurred on the Second Amendment Effective Date;
(F)all Incremental Term Loans and any Revolving Loans made in respect of Incremental Revolving Commitments shall rank pari passu in right of payment and right of security in respect of the Collateral with the Tranche A Term Loans and the Revolving Loans;
(G)except with respect to pricing and fees or as otherwise set forth in this Section 2.25(a), all terms of any Incremental Term Facility, if not consistent with the applicable existing Tranche A Term Facility, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided that each Incremental Term Facility shall share ratably in any prepayments of the applicable Tranche A Term Facility unless the Parent Borrower and the lenders in respect of such Incremental Term Facility elect lesser payments;
(H)any Incremental Revolving Commitments and the Revolving Loans in respect thereof shall be pursuant to the terms hereof otherwise applicable to the Revolving Facility and such Incremental Revolving Commitments shall become Revolving Commitments under this Agreement after giving effect to such Incremental Facility Activation Notice;
(I)without the consent of the Administrative Agent, (x) each increase effected pursuant to this paragraph shall be in a minimum amount of at least $20,000,000 and (y) no more than five Incremental Facility Closing Dates may be selected by the Parent Borrower after the Fourth Restatement Effective Date; and
(J)no Lender shall have any obligation to participate in any increase described in this paragraph unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion.
(b)Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity which, with the consent of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),

79

elects to become a “Lender” under this Agreement in connection with any transaction described in Section 2.25(a) shall execute a New Lender Supplement (each, a “New Lender Supplement”), substantially in the form of Exhibit G-3, whereupon such bank, financial institution or other entity (a “New Lender”) shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.
(c)Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, on each Incremental Facility Closing Date with respect to the Revolving Facility, each Borrower shall borrow Revolving Loans under the relevant increased Revolving Commitments from each Lender participating in the relevant increase in an amount determined by reference to the amount of each Type of Loan of such Borrower (and, in the case of Term Benchmark Loans, of each Term Benchmark Tranche) which would then have been outstanding from such Lender if (i) each such Type or Term Benchmark Tranche had been borrowed or effected by such Borrower on such Incremental Facility Closing Date and (ii) the aggregate amount of each such Type or Term Benchmark Tranche requested to be so borrowed or effected by such Borrower had been proportionately increased. The Term Benchmark Relevant Rate applicable to any Term Benchmark Loan borrowed pursuant to the preceding sentence shall equal the Term Benchmark Relevant Rate then applicable to the Term Benchmark Loans of the other Lenders in the same Term Benchmark Tranche (or, until the expiration of the then-current Interest Period, such other rate as shall be agreed upon between the Parent Borrower and the relevant Lender).
(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, on each Incremental Facility Closing Date, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Commitments evidenced thereby. Any such amendment may be effected in writing by the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower and furnished to the other parties hereto.
2.26 [Reserved].
2.27 Borrower Representative
(a)Each Additional Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Parent Borrower as its agent, attorney-in-fact and legal representative on its behalf for all purposes hereunder, including delivering borrowing and conversion notices, compliance or similar certificates; giving instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans; paying, prepaying and reducing Loans, Commitments or any other amounts owing under the Loan Documents; selecting interest rate options; giving, receiving, accepting and rejecting all other notices, consents or other communications hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents; and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of such Additional Borrower under the Loan Documents. The Parent Borrower hereby accepts such appointment. The Administrative Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document from the Parent Borrower on behalf of any Additional Borrower as a notice or communication from such Additional Borrower. Each warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made by the Parent Borrower on behalf of any Additional Borrower shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Additional Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Additional Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Additional Borrower. Any action, notice, delivery, receipt, acceptance, approval, rejection or any other undertaking under any of the Loan Documents to be made by the Parent Borrower in respect of the Obligations of any Additional Borrower shall be deemed, where applicable, to be made in the Parent Borrower’s capacity as representative and agent on behalf of such Additional Borrower, and any such action, notice, delivery, receipt, acceptance, approval, rejection or other undertaking shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such

80

Additional Borrower, and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Additional Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Additional Borrower.
(b)Each Additional Borrower that is not an Excluded Foreign Subsidiary hereby severally agrees to indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against the Lenders and the Administrative Agent by such Additional Borrower or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of the Lenders’ or the Administrative Agent’s relying on any instructions of the Parent Borrower on behalf of such Additional Borrower, except that such Additional Borrower will have no liability under this Section 2.27(b) with respect to any liability that is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender or the Administrative Agent or such Lender or the Administrative Agent’s material breach of this Agreement.
2.28 Funding of Borrowings
(a)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any funding of Loans that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Loans, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree, and the Borrowers jointly and severally agree, to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the applicable NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans, in each case, as applicable. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.
SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT
3.1 L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrowers or (so long as the Parent Borrower is a co-applicant with respect to any such Letter of Credit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than an Additional Borrower)) on any Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender; provided that the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations (including the Dollar Equivalent of any L/C Obligations outstanding in any currency other than Dollars) would exceed the L/C Commitment or, (ii) the L/C Obligations in respect of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender would exceed such Issuing Lender’s Issuing Lender Commitment or (iii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars or another L/C Foreign Currency and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date, provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may

81

provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above).
(b)The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.
(c)For the avoidance of doubt, the Letters of Credit outstanding immediately prior to giving effect to the Fourth Restatement Effective Date shall continue to be Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder immediately after giving effect to the Fourth Restatement Effective Date.
3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. Any Borrower may from time to time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit for its account by delivering to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Upon receipt of any Application, the Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender and the applicable Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the applicable Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof. The Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).
3.3 Fees and Other Charges. (a) Each Borrower will pay a fee on all outstanding Letters of Credit requested by it at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Term Benchmark Loans under the Revolving Facility, shared ratably among the Revolving Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition, each Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum on the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit requested by it, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.
(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Parent Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.
3.4 L/C Participations. (a) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage in the Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the applicable Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (or in the event that any reimbursement received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by it at any time), such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein

82

an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage of the amount that is not so reimbursed (or is so returned). Each L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant may have against the Issuing Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Participant or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
(b)If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility. A certificate of the Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
(c)Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from a Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof (it being understood that any such distribution shall be in Dollars and the Issuing Lender shall convert any amounts received by it in a currency other than Dollars into the Dollar Equivalent thereof for purposes of such distribution); provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.
3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers. If any draft is paid under any Letter of Credit requested by a Borrower, such Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) the draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment, not later than 1:00 P.M., Local Time on the Business Day immediately following the day that such Borrower receives such notice. Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices referred to herein in the same currency as such draft was paid and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on which the relevant draft is paid until payment in full at the rate set forth in (x) until the Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice, Section 2.15(b) and (y) thereafter, Section 2.15(d).
3.6 Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that such Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any

83

beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. Each Borrower also agrees with the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and such Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among any Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of any Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender. Each Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on the Borrowers and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender to any Borrower.
3.7 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower that requested such Letter of Credit of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the applicable Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.
3.8 Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.
3.9 Cash Collateralization. If on any date the L/C Obligations (including the Dollar Equivalent of any L/C Obligations outstanding in a currency other than Dollars) exceeds the L/C Commitment, then the Borrowers shall within three Business Days after notice thereof from the Administrative Agent deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such excess plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
3.9 Currency Adjustments. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, for purposes of calculating any fee in respect of any Letter of Credit in respect of any Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall convert the amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars into an amount of Dollars based upon the Dollar Equivalent.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3, prior to demanding any reimbursement from the L/C Participants pursuant to Section 3.4 or Section 3.5 in respect of any Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars, the Issuing Lender shall convert the Borrowers’ obligations under Section 3.4 or Section 3.5 to reimburse the Issuing Lender in such currency into an obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender in Dollars. The Dollar amount of the reimbursement obligation of the Borrowers and the L/C Participants shall be computed by the Issuing Lender based upon the Dollar Equivalent for the day on which such conversion occurs, as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof.
3.11 Replacement and Resignation of an Issuing Lender. (a) An Issuing Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Lender and the successor Issuing Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the

84

Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Parent Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.3. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (x) the successor Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of Issuing Lenders under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (y) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Lenders, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
(b) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Lender, any Issuing Lender may resign as an Issuing Lender at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, such resigning Issuing Lender shall be replaced in accordance with Section 3.10(a) above.
SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

SECTION 9. THE AGENTS
9.1 Appointment. (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints each of the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes each of the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.
(b)Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the security trustee of such Lender under the English Security Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the English Security Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such rights, powers, authorities and discretions as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the English Security Documents, together with such other rights, powers, authorities and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into each English Security Document on behalf of and for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties and agrees to be bound by the terms thereof. It is understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those set forth in the English Security Documents, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into any Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.
(c)(i) Each Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by

125

such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this Section 9.1(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(i)Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.
(ii)The Parent Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided, that this Section 9.1 (c)(iii) shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Loan Parties relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from any Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment or from the proceeds of Collateral.
(iii)Each party’s obligations under this Section 9.1(c) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations

126

by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.
9.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page) or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.
9.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy or email message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.
9.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Parent Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of

127

Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.
9.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.
9.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent and its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, advisors and controlling persons (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
9.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this

128

Agreement and the other Loan 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.
9.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Parent Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) with respect to any Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Parent Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 and of Section 10.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit.
9.10 Arrangers, Co-Syndication Agents and Co-Documentation Agents. None of the Arrangers, the Co-Documentation Agents or the Co-Syndication Agents shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in their respective capacities as such.
9.11 Province of Quebec. For the purposes of holding any security granted by the Canadian Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec, each Secured Party hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the hypothecary representative (i.e. “fondé de pouvoir”) (in such capacity, the “Hypothecary Representative”) of the Secured Parties as contemplated under Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec, and to enter into, to take and to hold on its behalf, and for its benefit, any hypothec, and to exercise such powers and duties that are conferred upon the Hypothecary Representative under any hypothec. The Hypothecary Representative shall: (a) have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise, except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof, all rights and remedies given to it pursuant to any hypothec, pledge, applicable laws or otherwise, (b) benefit from and be subject to all provisions hereof with respect to the Administrative Agent mutatis mutandis, including, without limitation, all such provisions with respect to the liability or responsibility to and indemnification by the Secured Parties, and (c) be entitled to delegate from time to time any of its powers or duties under any hypothec or pledge on such terms and conditions as it may determine from time to time. Any person who becomes a Secured Party shall, by its execution of an Assignment and Acceptance, be deemed to have consented to and confirmed the Administrative Agent as the hypothecary representative as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Secured Party, all actions taken by the Hypothecary Representative in such capacity. The substitution of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Article 9.11 shall also constitute the substitution of the Hypothecary Representative.
9.12 Appointment of Administrative Agent as Security Trustee for English Security Documents. For the purposes of any Liens or Collateral created under the English Security Documents, the following additional provisions shall apply, in addition to the provisions set out in this Section 9 or otherwise hereunder (without prejudice to the rights and obligations of the Administrative Agent under

137

the same are brought by any Borrower, the equity holders, affiliates or creditors of the Parent Borrower or any other Person, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of any Group Member or any of the Properties and the reasonable fees and expenses of one firm of counsel for all Indemnitees and, if necessary, one firm of regulatory counsel and one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for all Indemnitees (provided that in the case of an actual (or perceived, if set forth in a writing by the affected Indemnitee to the Parent Borrower) conflict of interest, where the Indemnitee informs the Parent Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, the reasonable and invoiced costs and expenses of another firm of counsel for such affected Indemnitee), in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any Loan Party under any Loan Document (all the foregoing in this clause (e), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided, that the Parent Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or material breach of any Loan Document by, such Indemnitee, provided, further, that this Section 10.5(e) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim, and provided further that this Section 10.5(e) shall not require the reimbursement of costs, expenses and disbursements of any Indemnitee incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (it being understood that any reimbursement in connection with such costs, expenses and disbursements shall be governed by Section 10.5(a)). Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the each Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent any such damages are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or a material breach of any Loan Document by such Indemnitee.

10.6 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 (including any affiliate of the Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) other than as contemplated by Section 2.19(h), no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any 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.

138

(b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”), other than a natural person, the Parent Borrower or any Affiliate of the Parent Borrower, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of:
(A)the Parent Borrower, provided that no consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; and provided, further, that the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless the Parent Borrower shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof;
(B)the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and
(C)the Issuing Lender; provided that no consent of the Issuing Lender shall be required (i) for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan or (ii) if the Issuing Lender’s exposure in respect of Letters of Credit issued by it is less than $1,000,000.
(ii) 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 Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 (or, in the case of the Tranche A Term Facility and any Incremental Term Facility, $1,000,000) unless each of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;
(B)(1) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and (2) the assigning Lender shall have paid in full any amounts owing by it to the Administrative Agent; and
(C)the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in which the Assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Parent Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.
For the purposes of this Section 10.6, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a

139

Lender, (b) an affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Lender may assign all or a portion of its Term Loans (or Incremental Term Loans) to the Parent Borrower at a price below the par value thereof; provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately before and after giving effect to such assignment, (2) on the date of effectiveness of such purchase and assignment, there shall be no more than $50,000,000 in aggregate amount of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans outstanding, (3) no proceeds of Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit shall be used to fund such purchase and assignment, (4) any such offer to purchase shall be offered to all Term Lenders of a particular tranche on a pro rata basis, with mechanics to be agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower, (5) any Loans so purchased shall be immediately cancelled and retired and (6) the Parent Borrower shall provide, as of the date of its offer to purchase and as of the date of the effectiveness of such purchase and assignment, a customary representation and warranty that it is not in possession of any material non-public information with respect to the Parent Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their respective securities that (i) has not been disclosed to the assigning Lender prior to such date and (ii) could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material to, a Lender’s decision to assign Loans to the Parent Borrower (in each case, other than because such assigning Lender does not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Parent Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their respective securities).
(iii)Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20, 2.21 and 10.5 with respect to the facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of the assignment). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 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 Section 10.6(c).
(iv)The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing 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 this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, any Issuing Lender and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

140

(v)Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 10.6(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 10.6(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(c)Any Lender may, without the consent of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (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 (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing 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. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (i) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 10.1 and (ii) directly affects such Participant. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Parent Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Parent Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.23 with respect to any Participant. The Parent Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20 and 2.21 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.20(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.20(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.6(b); provided that such Participant (i) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.19 and 2.20 as if it were an assignee under Section 10.6(b) and (ii) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.19 or 2.20, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from an adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Fourth Restatement Effective Date that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 10.7(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the Borrowers (upon request) or otherwise to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the

141

Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(d)Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 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.

148

(b)So long as the principal of and interest on any Loans made to any Additional Borrower under this Agreement shall have been paid in full and all other obligations of such Additional Borrower under this Agreement (other than contingent indemnification obligations) shall have been fully performed, the Parent Borrower may, by not less than five Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the relevant Lenders thereof), terminate such Subsidiary’s status as a “Additional Borrower”.

Prior to effecting any such changes, the Administrative Agent shall give all Revolving Lenders at least five Business Days’ notice thereof and an opportunity to comment thereon.
10.22 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.

(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any Resolution Authority.
10.23 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.
To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Agreement 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

149

regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States).
(a)In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
(b)As used in this Section 10.23, the following terms have the following meanings:
“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.
“Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).
“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
“QFC” has the meaning given to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 5390(c)(8)(D).
