The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrowers of any default in the payment thereof.

Credit), the Borrower Representative shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (at least five Business Days (or such shorter period of time as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank) in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice (which shall include wording agreed with such Issuing Bank) requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the name of the account party (which may, at the option of the Borrower Representative, list any Loan Party or one or more Subsidiaries of any Borrower; provided that the listing of such Guarantor or Subsidiaries shall not create any obligations of such entity under this Agreement and the Borrowers shall remain at all times responsible for the obligations and agreements under the Loan Documents with respect to all Letters of Credit), the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.05(c), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the currency of denomination, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit.

Upon receipt by such Issuing Bank of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance, amendment, renewal or extension is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrowers or enter into the applicable amendment, renewal or extension, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices.

Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or before the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date that is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension); provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) below) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

(d) Participations. Effective on the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of any Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Pursuant to such participations, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay in U.S. Dollars to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the date due as provided in Section 2.05(e), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason.

renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If any Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, it shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the next Business Day of such notice; provided that the Borrower Representative may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed with an ABR Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrowers fail to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender and the Issuing Bank of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrowers, in the same manner as is provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to such payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder. None of the Lender Parties and their respective Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of (x) any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence or (y) the failure of any Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under any such Letter of Credit as a result of any Sanctions or any act or omission of any Governmental Authority), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of

Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, each Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement pursuant thereto; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. Unless the Borrowers reimburse an LC Disbursement in full on the date an LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the day on which such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the day on which the Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans; provided that, if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to Section 2.05(e), then Section 2.12(c) and Section 2.12(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this subsection shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that a pro rata share of interest accrued on and after the day that any Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(e) shall be for the account of such Lender.

(i) Issuing Banks. Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement. At the time any such replacement becomes effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.11(b). On and after the effective date of any such replacement, (A) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (B) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After an Issuing Bank is replaced, it will remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it before such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower Representative receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing more than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this subsection, the Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 101% of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to a Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article 7. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of

the Borrowers under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. The Administrative Agent shall invest and reinvest funds held by it on deposit in one or more Permitted Investments in accordance with the written instructions of the Required Lenders; provided that, in the absence of such written instructions, all funds shall remain uninvested on deposit in a non-interest bearing account in the commercial department of HSBC Bank USA, N.A. Investment instructions, which may be standing instructions, must be received by the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the Business Day when such funds are to be invested. Instructions received after 11:00 a.m. New York City time will be treated as if received on the following Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to invest or reinvest any funds deposited with or received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. New York City time on such day of deposit. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made pursuant to the preceding sentence and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse any Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing more than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers within three Business Days after all Events of Default (including such Event of Default) have been cured or waived.

(k) Applicability of ISP 98. Unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower Representative and the applicable Issuing Bank, each Borrower agrees that any Issuing Bank may issue Letters of Credit hereunder subject to the International Standby Practices 1998, ICC Publication No. 590 or, at such Issuing Bank’s option, such later revision thereof in effect at the time of issuance of any such Letter of Credit (“ISP 98”). Any Issuing Bank’s privileges, rights and remedies under such ISP 98 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, its privileges, rights and remedies expressly provided for herein.

(l) Independence. Each Borrower acknowledges that the rights and obligations of each Issuing Bank under each Letter of Credit is independent of the existence, performance or nonperformance of any contract or arrangement underlying such Letter of Credit, including contracts or arrangements between any Issuing Bank and any Borrower and between such Borrower and the beneficiary.

Section 2.06. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time (in the case of fundings to an account in New York City), or 12:00 noon, local time (in the case of fundings to an account in another jurisdiction), in each case to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that (x) ABR Loans shall be made available by 2:00 p.m. New York City or local time, as the case may be, and (y) Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrowers by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the applicable Borrower maintained in New York City or London or in the financial center of the country of the currency of such Loans and designated by the Borrower Representative in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent receives notice from a Lender before the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make its share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.06(a) and may, in reliance on such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount in the required currency. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers 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 Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, if such Borrowing is denominated in U.S. Dollars, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and if such Borrowing is denominated in an Alternative Currency, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds in the relevant currency (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing (provided that in the case of a Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans). If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

Section 2.07. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower Representative may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower Representative may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower Representative may not (i) elect to convert the currency in which any Loans are denominated, (ii) elect an Interest Period for Eurocurrency Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(d), (iii) elect to convert any ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans that would result in the number of Eurocurrency Borrowings exceeding the maximum number of Eurocurrency Borrowings permitted under Section 2.02(c), or (iv) elect an Interest Period for Eurocurrency Loans unless the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Eurocurrency Loans (including any Eurocurrency Loans in the same currency made on the date that such Interest Period is to begin) to which such Interest Period will apply complies with the requirements as to minimum principal amount set forth in Section 2.02(c). This Section shall not apply to Swingline Loan Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election in the form of an Interest Election Request signed by the Borrower Representative by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower Representative were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election; provided that in the case of a conversion of Eurocurrency Loans to ABR Loans, notice of such election must be delivered not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the end of the current Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Loans. Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable.

(c) Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02 and Section 2.07(e):

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

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

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, a Eurocurrency Borrowing, a SONIA Borrowing, a SARON Borrowing or a TONA Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of “Interest Period”.

If an Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower Representative fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing before the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be continued as a Eurocurrency Loan having an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower Representative, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, no outstanding ABR Borrowing may be converted to a Eurocurrency Borrowing.

Section 2.08. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b) The Borrowers may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the sum of the Credit Exposures would exceed the total Commitments.

(c) The Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days before the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower Representative pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination or reduction of the Commitments may state that such termination or reduction is conditioned upon the effectiveness of a refinancing or other events, in which case such notice may be revoked (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent and will be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

Section 2.09. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Global Loan on the Maturity Date and (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15^th or last day of a calendar month and is at least two Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Global Borrowing is made, the Borrowers shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the currency, Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.09(b) or 2.09(c) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that any failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, each Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver promptly to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) substantially in the form of Exhibit H. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

Section 2.10. Prepayment of Loans; Collateralization of LC Exposure. (a) Each Borrower shall have the right at any time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to the provisions of this Section.

(b) If the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative at any time that the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Credit Exposure at such time exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Commitments then in effect, then, within seven Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall prepay Loans or cash collateralize LC Exposure in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Outstanding Amount as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Commitments then in effect. The Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of such cash collateral, request that additional cash collateral be provided in order to protect against the results of further exchange rate fluctuations.

(c) The Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of payment, (iii) in the

case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment, (iv) in the case of prepayment of a SONIA Borrowing denominated in Sterling, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, five Business Days before the date of prepayment, (v) in the case of prepayment of a SARON Borrowing denominated in Swiss Francs, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, five Business Days before the date of prepayment, (vi) in the case of prepayment of a TONA Borrowing denominated in Yen, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, five Business Days before the date of prepayment or (vii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that such notice may state that the prepayment is conditioned upon the effectiveness of a refinancing or other events, in which case such notice may be revoked (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12.

Section 2.11. Fees. (a) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily amount of the Commitment of such Lender (whether used or unused) during the period from and including the Restatement Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates; provided that, if such Lender continues to have any Credit Exposure after its Commitment terminates, then such facility fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Lender’s Credit Exposure from and including the date on which its Commitment terminates to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Credit Exposure. Accrued facility fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof; provided that any facility fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. All facility fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) The Borrowers agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Restatement Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Restatement Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as each Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Restatement Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to each Issuing Bank pursuant to this subsection shall be payable within 30 days after demand. All participation fees and

fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon in writing by the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent.

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars, to the Administrative Agent (or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of facility fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.12. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) The Loans comprising each (i) Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the Eurocurrency Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate, (ii) SONIA Borrowing shall bear interest at Daily Simple SONIA in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate plus the Applicable SONIA Adjustment, (iii) SARON Borrowing shall bear interest at Daily Simple SARON in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate plus the Applicable SARON Adjustment and (iv) TONA Borrowing shall bear interest at Daily Simple TONA in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate plus the Applicable TONA Adjustment.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding subsections of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.12(c) shall be payable on demand, (ii) upon any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) upon any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and interest in respect of Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing shall be computed in accordance with such market practice, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Eurocurrency Rate, SONIA Rate, SARON Rate or TONA Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.13. Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.

(a) Benchmark Replacement.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any Swap Contract shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.13):

(A) LIBOR Replacement. On March 5, 2021 the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the regulatory supervisor of IBA, announced in a public statement the future cessation or loss of representativeness, as applicable, of each tenor setting of USD LIBOR and each other Relevant LIBOR. According to the FCA, IBA will permanently cease publication on a representative basis of (i) all GBP, EUR, CHF and JPY LIBOR settings, and the 1-week and 2-month USD LIBOR settings following the publication of such settings on December 31, 2021, and (ii) the overnight/Spot Next, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month USD LIBOR settings, immediately following the publication of such settings on June 30, 2023. As a result, upon the occurrence of a LIBOR Replacement Date in respect of a Relevant LIBOR, the applicable Benchmark Replacement for Loans denominated in Dollars and for Loans denominated in the relevant Alternative Currency, as applicable, will replace the Relevant LIBOR for all purposes hereunder and under any other Loan Document in respect of any setting of the Relevant LIBOR (1) if the Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a)(1)(A) or clause (a)(1)(B) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”, on such LIBOR Replacement Date and for all subsequent settings of the Relevant LIBOR without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (2) if the Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a)(1)(C) or clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”, at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders and the Borrower 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. For Loans denominated in Dollars, Sterling, Yen or Swiss Francs, if the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, Daily Simple SONIA, Daily Simple SARON or Daily Simple TONA, respectively, all interest payments on such Loans will be payable on a quarterly basis.

(B) Future Benchmark Replacement. If a Benchmark Transition Event occurs after the date hereof with respect to any then-current Benchmark and a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of “Benchmark Replacement”, then such Benchmark Replacement will replace the relevant then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders and the Borrower 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. At any time that the administrator of a then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Eurocurrency Borrowing, SARON Borrowing, SONIA Borrowing or TONA Borrowing, as applicable, of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency

Loans, SARON Loans, SONIA Loans or TONA Loans, as applicable, to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark and, failing that, either (i) the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request for a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars into a request for a Eurocurrency Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans or (ii) any Eurocurrency Borrowing, SARON Borrowing, SONIA Borrowing or TONA Borrowing, as applicable, denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be ineffective. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of ABR based upon the applicable then-current Benchmark will not be used in any determination of ABR. Furthermore, if any Eurocurrency Loan, SARON Loan, SONIA Loan or TONA Loan, as applicable, in an Alternative Currency is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent with respect to a then-current Benchmark applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan, SARON Loan, SONIA Loan or TONA Loan, as applicable, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement for such then-current Benchmark is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.13, (i) if such Eurocurrency Loan is denominated in Dollars, then 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 denominated in Dollars on such day or (ii) if such Eurocurrency Loan, SARON Loan, SONIA Loan or TONA Loan, as applicable, is denominated in an Alternative Currency, then such Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period or on the Interest Payment Date, as applicable, applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), at the Borrower’s election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid by the Borrower on such day or (B) solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan, such Eurocurrency Loan, SARON Loan, SONIA Loan or TONA Loan, as applicable, shall be deemed to be a Eurocurrency Loan denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars at such time.

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

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, and (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (d) below. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, the Borrower or any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.13, 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 2.13.

(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if a then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or a Relevant LIBOR), then the Administrative Agent may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings and (ii) the Administrative Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for such Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings.

Section 2.14. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 2.14(e)) or Issuing Bank;

(ii) subject any Lender Party to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Excluded Taxes and (C) Other Taxes) with respect to Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein (including on its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or such Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, continuing, converting to or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered, but only to the extent such Lender or such Issuing Bank is imposing such charges on borrowers (similarly situated to the Borrowers hereunder) under comparable syndicated credit facilities.

(b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered, but only to the extent such Lender or such Issuing Bank is imposing such charges on borrowers (similarly situated to the Borrowers hereunder) under comparable syndicated credit facilities.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 2.14(a) or 2.14(b) shall be delivered to the Borrower Representative and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay by any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or such Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days before the date that such Lender or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased cost or reduction and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) The Borrowers shall pay to each Lender,(i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower Representative shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable 30 days from receipt of such notice.

(f) Except in the case of Section 2.14(a)(ii), this Section 2.14 shall not apply to matters covered by Section 2.16 relating to Taxes, including any Excluded Taxes.

Section 2.15. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10(c) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense directly attributable to such event. Such loss, cost and expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Eurocurrency Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the relevant currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the relevant market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.16. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided that if a Loan Party shall be required by applicable law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then (i) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes the sum payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) each Lender Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such deductions and withholdings and (iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, each Loan Party shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each Lender Party, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents (including amounts payable under this Section) or Other Taxes (together with any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses) payable or paid by such Lender Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender Party, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Loan Party by a Lender Party on its own behalf, or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of a Lender Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax (including FATCA) under the law of a Relevant Jurisdiction, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, or under any law or treaty of any other jurisdiction in which payments may be made by a Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, with respect to payments under this Agreement, shall deliver to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any such claimed exemption or reduction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 2.16(d)) 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) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for the purposes of this Section 2.16(d), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower Representative 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 Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), executed copies 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 Borrower Representative 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 Borrower Representative 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 copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E 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 W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a 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 G-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 the Borrower Representative 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 copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or

(4) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-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 G-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner.

(e) If a Lender Party determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section that in the good faith judgment of such Lender Party is allocable to such indemnity or additional amounts and is not subject to return, reassessment or other repayment, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of such Lender Party’s out-of-pocket expenses and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of such Lender Party, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Lender Party in the event such Lender Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will a Lender Party be required to pay any amount to a Loan Party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the Lender Party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the Lender Party would have been in if the Tax giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section shall not be construed to require any Lender Party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

(f) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any Taxes, including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section (but only to the extent that the Loan Parties have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation, if any, of the Loan Parties to do so), in each case attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 15 days from the date the Administrative Agent makes demand therefor.

(g) For purposes of this Section 2.16, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

Section 2.17. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set‑offs. (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it under the Loan Documents (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) before the time expressly required under the relevant Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, before 12:00 noon, local time at the place of payment), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set off or counterclaim. Any

amount received after such time on any day may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to such account of the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent shall specify by notice to the Borrower Representative, except payments to be made directly to any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 10.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payment received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, if such payment accrues interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder of principal and interest in respect of any Loan (or of any breakage indemnity or payment under Section 2.15 in respect of any Loan) shall be made in the currency of such Loan; all other payments under each Loan Document shall be made in U.S. Dollars.

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

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Global Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Global Loans or participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other applicable Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Global Loans, LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Global Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (x) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (y) the provisions of this subsection shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to any Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this subsection shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of one or more Lender Parties hereunder that such payment will not be made, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each relevant Lender Party the amount due. In such event, if such

payment has not in fact been made, then each of Lender Party severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender Party with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at, if such payment is denominated in U.S. Dollars, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and, if such payment is denominated in an Alternative Currency, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds in the relevant currency (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error).

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d), 2.05(e), 2.06(b), 2.17(d) or 10.03(b), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.18. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or if a Lender does not consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document that requires the consent of each Lender and has been approved by the Required Lenders, then the Borrower Representative may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) to the extent required under Section 10.04, the Borrower Representative shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a material reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower Representative to require such assignment cease to apply. At any time prior to the effectiveness of such assignment, the Borrower Representative, in its sole discretion, may revoke the notice requiring such assignment. Each party hereto agrees that (i) an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment executed by the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and (ii) the Lender required to

make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to and be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender; provided that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.

Section 2.19 [Reserved].

Section 2.20. Defaulting Lenders. 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 unused portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a);

(b) the Commitment and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification permitted to be effected by the Required Lenders pursuant to Section 10.02);

(i) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be automatically reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within three Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent (a) first prepay such Swingline Exposure and (b) either (x) procure the reduction or termination of the Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) or (y) if requested in writing by the applicable Issuing Bank, cash collateralize for the benefit of such Issuing Bank only the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

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

(iv) to the extent that the LC Exposures of the non-Defaulting Lenders are adjusted pursuant to clause (i) above, then the letter of credit fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11(b) shall to the same extent be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is not reallocated, reduced, terminated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without

prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to such Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated, reduced, terminated and/or cash collateralized; and

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure after giving effect thereto will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or prepaid, reduced, terminated and/or cash collateralized to the extent requested by the applicable Issuing Bank in accordance with Section 2.20(c), and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If (i) with respect to any Lender, a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to any Person as to which such Lender is, directly or indirectly, a subsidiary, shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its funding obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender, reasonably satisfactory to the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower Representative, the Swingline Lender and the applicable Issuing Bank 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 the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders other than the Swingline Loans as the Administrative Agent shall determine is necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage; provided that there shall be no retroactive effect on fees adjusted or reallocated pursuant to Section 2.20(a) and Section 2.20(c)(iii), (iv) and (v).

Section 2.21. Incremental Facilities.

(a) The Borrower Representative may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more increases in Commitments (the “Incremental Commitments”), by an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000 individually (or such lesser amount as may be approved by the Administrative Agent); provided that at no time shall the aggregate amount of Commitments, after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments effected pursuant to this Section, exceed $1,500,000,000. Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Incremental Effective Date”) on which the Borrower Representative proposes that the Incremental Commitments shall be effective. The Borrowers may approach any Lender or any other Person (other than a natural person) to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Commitments; provided that any Lender may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Commitment. Each Incremental Commitment shall become effective as of the applicable Incremental Effective Date; provided that (i) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied (with all references in such Section to a Borrowing being deemed to be references to such Incremental Commitments) and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by an

Authorized Officer, (ii) the Incremental Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Lender Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to any New Lender (as defined below) to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under Section 10.04 for an assignment of Loans or Commitments to such Person and (iv) the Borrowers shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 2.15 in connection with the Incremental Commitments, as applicable.

(b) On any Incremental Effective Date, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each of the Lenders with existing Commitments shall assign to each Lender with an Incremental Commitment (each, a “New Lender”) and each of the New Lenders shall purchase from each of the Lenders with existing Commitments, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Loans outstanding on such Incremental Effective Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, the Loans will be held by existing Lenders and New Lenders ratably in accordance with their Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such Incremental Commitments to the Commitments, (ii) each Incremental Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Commitment and, each Loan made under an Incremental Commitment (a “New Loan”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, Loans and (iii) each New Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the Incremental Commitment and all matters relating thereto.

(d) Each Lender Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect technical and corresponding amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provision of this Section 2.21.

Section 2.22. Extended Commitments and Extended Loans.

(a) (i) The Borrower Representative may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Commitments, and/or any Extended Commitments, each existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Commitment” and any related revolving credit loans thereunder, “Existing Loans”) be converted to extend the termination date thereof and the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of Loans related to such Existing Commitments (any such Existing Commitments which have been so extended, “Extended Commitments” and any related Loans, “Extended Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.22(a). In order to establish any Extended Commitments, the Borrower Representative shall provide a notice (an “Extension Request”) to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Commitments to be established, which shall not be materially more restrictive to the Loan Parties (as determined in good faith by the Borrower Representative), when taken as a whole, than the terms of the applicable Existing Commitments (the “Specified Existing Commitment”) unless (x) the Lenders providing Existing Loans receive the benefit of such more restrictive terms or (y) any such provisions apply after the Maturity Date, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided, however, that (x) (A) the interest margins with respect to the Extended Commitments may be higher or lower than the interest margins for the Specified Existing Commitments and/or (B) additional fees and premiums may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Commitments in addition to or in lieu of any increased margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A) and (y) the facility fee with respect to the Extended Commitments may be higher or lower than the facility fee for the Specified Existing Commitment; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.22(a) or otherwise, (1) the

borrowing and repayment of Extended Loans shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Existing Loans so long as the Existing Commitments are outstanding and (2) assignments and participations of Extended Commitments and Extended Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Existing Commitments and Existing Loans as set forth in Section 10.04. Any Extension Request by the Borrower Representative shall be made to all Lenders holding the applicable Existing Commitments and Existing Loans, but no Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Loans or Commitments converted into Extended Loans or Extended Commitments pursuant to such Extension Request. Any Extended Commitments of any Extension Series shall constitute a separate series of revolving credit commitments from the Specified Existing Commitments and from any other Existing Commitments (together with any other Extended Commitments so established on such date).

(ii) Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Existing Commitments subject to such Extension Request converted into Extended Commitments shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Existing Commitments that it has elected to convert into Extended Commitments. Such Extended Commitment shall be treated identically to all other Commitments for purposes of the obligations of a Lender in respect of Swingline Loans under Section 2.04 and Letters of Credit under Section 2.05, except that the applicable Extension Amendment may provide that the maturity dates for Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit, as applicable, may be extended and the related obligations to make Swingline Loans and issue Letters of Credit may be continued so long as the Swingline Lender and/or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, have consented to such extensions in their sole discretion (it being understood that no consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection with any such extension).

(iii) Extended Commitments, as applicable, shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement executed by the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders (and not any other Lenders). No Extension Amendment shall provide for any tranche of Extended Commitments in an aggregate principal amount that is less than $10,000,000.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (A) on any date on which any Existing Commitment or Existing Loan is converted to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with clause (i) above (an “Extension Date”), in the case of the Specified Existing Commitments of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such Specified Existing Commitments shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Commitments so converted by such Lender on such date, and such Extended Commitments shall be established as a separate series of revolving credit commitments from any Existing Commitments and (B) if, on any Extension Date, any Loans of any Extending Lender are outstanding under the applicable Specified Existing Commitments, such Loans (and any related participations) shall be deemed to be allocated as Extended Loans (and related participations) and Existing Loans (and related participations) in the same proportion as such Extending Lender’s Specified Existing Commitments to Extended Commitments. Each Extended Commitment shall become effective as of the applicable Extension Date; provided that the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied (with all references in such Section to a Borrowing being deemed to be references to such Extension Request) and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by an Authorized Officer,

(b) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders (other than the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank to the extent such consent is expressly required by this Section 2.22) hereby consent to the

consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.22 (including payment of any interest, fees, or premium in respect of any Extended Commitments set forth in the relevant Extension Amendment) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any pro rata payment or amendment section) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit or restrict any such extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.22.

ARTICLE 3

Section 3.04. Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (a) The Borrower Representative has heretofore furnished to the Administrative Agent statements of financial condition, results of operations, changes in equity and cash flows of the Public Company as of and for the (i) fiscal years ended December 31, 2018, December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020 and (ii) fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Public Company, as of such dates and for such periods on a consolidated basis and in accordance with GAAP, except to the extent provided in the notes to said

financial statements and in the case of the statements referred to in clause (ii) above, subject to year-end adjustments and the absence of footnotes.

(b) Except as disclosed in the financial statements referred to above or the notes thereto and except for the Disclosed Matters, after giving effect to the Transactions, none of the Loan Parties has, as of the Restatement Date, any liabilities and obligations, that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) As of the Restatement Date, there has been no material adverse change in the business, results of operations or financial condition of the Loan Parties, taken as a whole, since December 31, 2020.

Section 3.05. Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) As of the Restatement Date, there are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened in writing against or affecting any Borrower Group Company (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of adverse determinations that, in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve any of the Loan Documents or the Transactions.

(b) Except for any matters that, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no Borrower Group Company (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) is subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received written notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability.

Section 3.06. Compliance with Laws. Each Borrower Group Company is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property, except where the failure to do so, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.08. Taxes. Each Borrower Group Company has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns required to have been filed by it and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the relevant Borrower Group Company has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP or (b) to the extent that failures to do so, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There is no proposed tax assessment against any Borrower Group Company that, if made, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.09. ERISA. (a) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each Borrower Group Company and its ERISA Affiliates are in compliance with those provisions of ERISA and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder which are applicable to it, except where noncompliance could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Each International Plan has been maintained in compliance with its terms and with the requirements prescribed by applicable law (including any special provisions relating to qualified plans where such International Plan was intended to so qualify) and has been maintained in good standing with the applicable regulatory authorities, except where noncompliance would not result in a Material Adverse Effect. No unfunded liabilities, determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions which are reasonable in the aggregate, exist under all of the International Plans in the aggregate that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no Plan or International Plan is a Multiemployer Plan and no Plan or International Plan is a multiple employer welfare arrangement as defined in Section 3(40) of ERISA which is subject to ERISA.

Section 3.10. Disclosure.

(a) None of the written information and written data furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or delivered hereunder or thereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished), when taken as a whole, contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein (taken as a whole), in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading at such time, it being understood and agreed that for purposes of this Section 3.10, such factual information and data shall not include pro forma information, projections, estimates (including financial estimates, forecasts, and other forward-looking information) or other forward-looking information and information of a general economic or general industry nature; provided that, with respect to any pro forma information or any projected financial information (including financial estimates, forecasts and other forward-looking information), each Loan Party represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ from the projected results and such differences may be material.

(b) As of the Restatement Date, the information included in each Beneficial Ownership Certification, if applicable, provided on or prior to the Restatement Date to any Lender in connection with this Agreement is true and correct in all material respects.

Section 3.11. Compliance with Sanctions and Anti-Corruption Laws. No Borrower, Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or, to the knowledge of any Borrower, any of their respective directors, officers, employees or any of their respective agents that will receive any economic benefit from the credit facility established hereby, is a Person that is, or is 50% or more owned or controlled by Persons that are, the subject of Sanctions, including by being identified on a Sanctions List, or is located, organized or resident in a Sanctioned Country. The Borrowers, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Sanctions and with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (the “FCPA”), and all other applicable anti-corruption laws and anti-money laundering laws, and have instituted and maintain policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with applicable Sanctions, anti-corruption laws and anti-money laundering laws.

Each Borrowing and each issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrowers, on the date thereof as to the matters specified in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section.

(b) as soon as available and in any event on or before the date that is five days after the date on which consolidated financial statements of the Public Company are required to be filed with the SEC with respect to each of the first three fiscal quarters (commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021) of each fiscal year of the Public Company (after giving effect to any permitted extensions; and if such consolidated financial statements are not required to be filed with the SEC, on or before the date that is 60 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year of the Public Company), (i) the consolidated statements of financial condition, operations, changes in equity and cash flows as of the end of and for such fiscal quarter and the then elapsed portion of the fiscal year, in each case for the Public Company and (ii) management’s segment financial information as set forth in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Public Company, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the corresponding period or periods of the previous fiscal year;

(c) no later than the date that the financial statements or other information is required to be delivered under clause (a) or (b) above, a duly completed Compliance Certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower Representative (i) certifying as to whether a Default has occurred and, if a Default has occurred, specifying the details thereof and any action taken or proposed to be taken with respect thereto, (ii) setting forth reasonably detailed calculations demonstrating compliance with Section 6.05 and (iii) stating whether any change in GAAP or in the application thereof has occurred since the date of the financial statements referred to in Section 3.04 and, if any such change has occurred, specifying the effect of such change on the financial statements accompanying such certificate; and

The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to request the delivery

or to maintain copies of the documents referred to above, and in any event shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance by the Borrowers with any such request for delivery, and each Lender shall be solely responsible for requesting delivery to it or maintaining its copies of such documents.

Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent may make available to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrowers hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”), so long as the access to such Platform (i) is limited to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and assignees or prospective assignees and their respective advisors and (ii) remains subject to the confidentiality requirements set forth in Section 10.12, and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Loan Parties or their securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrower Representative hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrowers or their respective securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.12); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor;” and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower Representative shall be under no obligation to mark any Borrower Materials “PUBLIC.”

Section 5.02. Notices of Material Events. The Borrower Representative will furnish to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly thereafter furnish to the Lenders) prompt written notice of the following:

(a) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default;

(b) the filing or commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority against or affecting any Borrower Group Company or any Affiliate thereof that could reasonably be expected to be adversely determined and, if so determined, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and

Each notice delivered under this Section shall be accompanied by a statement of the Authorized Officer of the Borrower Representative setting forth the details of the event or development requiring such notice and any action taken or proposed to be taken with respect thereto.

Section 5.03. Existence; Conduct of Business. Each Loan Party will, and will cause each of its Material Subsidiaries to, take all actions necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its legal existence and the rights, licenses, permits, privileges and franchises material to the conduct of its business except to the extent that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution, change in jurisdiction or conversion of organizational form permitted by Section 6.02.

Section 5.04. Payment of Taxes. Each Loan Party will pay and discharge, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay and discharge, all tax obligations before the same shall become delinquent or in default and before penalties accrue thereon, except where (a) (i) the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (ii) such Loan Party has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto (in the good faith judgment of the management of such Loan Party) in accordance with GAAP, and (iii) such contest effectively suspends collection of the contested obligation and the enforcement of any Lien securing such obligation or (b) the failure to make payment pending such contest would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.05. Maintenance of Properties; Insurance. Each Loan Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (a) keep and maintain all property material to the conduct of its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, except to the extent that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (b) maintain insurance in such amounts and against such risks as, in the good faith judgment of the management of such Loan Party, is reasonable and prudent to be maintained by companies of the same size and nature of business operating in the same or similar locations and in light of the availability of insurance on a cost-effective basis.

Section 5.06. Books and Records; Inspection Rights. Each Loan Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep books of record and account with respect to its assets and business and will permit any representatives designated by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect its properties, to examine its books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with its officers, all at such reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested; provided that (x) excluding any such visits and inspections during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) only the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Required Lenders may exercise the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Section and (ii) the Administrative Agent may not exercise such rights more than once in any calendar year, and (y) when an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent or any representative of the Required Lenders (or any of its respective representatives or independent contractors) may do any of the foregoing at the expense of the applicable Borrower Group Company at any time during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.06, none of the Loan Parties will be required to disclose, permit the inspection, examination or making copies or abstracts of, or discuss, any document, information or other matter that (a) constitutes non-financial trade secrets or non-financial proprietary information, (b) in respect of which disclosure to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or their respective representatives or agents) is prohibited by law or any agreement binding on a third party (not created in contemplation thereof) or (c) in any Loan Party’s reasonable judgment, would compromise any attorney-client privilege, privilege afforded to attorney work product or similar privilege, provided that such Borrower Group Company shall make available redacted versions of requested documents or, if unable to do so consistent with the preservation of such privilege, shall make commercially reasonable efforts to disclose information responsive to the requests of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective representatives and agents, in a manner that will protect such privilege.

Section 5.07. Compliance with Laws. Each Loan Party will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, comply with all laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, Environmental Laws and applicable Sanctions and the FCPA and all other applicable anti-corruption laws, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) applicable to it or its property, except where failures to do so, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrowers, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries will maintain policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with applicable Sanctions and anti-corruption laws.

Section 5.08. Use of Proceeds and Letters of Credit.

ARTICLE 8
The Administrative Agent

Section 8.01. Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender Party hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

Section 8.02. Rights and Powers as a Lender. The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Loan Party or Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks.

Section 8.03. Limited Parties and Responsibilities. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required in writing to exercise as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Administrative Agent to liability, if the Administrative Agent is not indemnified to its satisfaction, or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for any failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (x) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02), (y) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) or (z) by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of the Administrative Agent (including but not limited to any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation of any Governmental Authority, any act of God or war, civil unrest, local or national disturbance or disaster, any act of

terrorism, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication facility). The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower Representative or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders and Issuing Banks of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such default or event of default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction by Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to any such default or event of default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders and Issuing Banks. Nothing in this Agreement shall oblige the Administrative Agent to carry out any “know your customer”, Beneficial Ownership Regulation or other checks in relation to any person on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms to the Administrative Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Administrative Agent. In no event shall the Administrative Agent be required to expend or risk any of its own funds or otherwise incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of its duties under the Loan Documents or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers under this Agreement.

Section 8.04. Authority to Rely on Certain Writings, Statements and Advice. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on, and shall not incur any liability for relying on, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely on any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent receives notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank prior to the making of such loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for a Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 8.05. Sub-Agents and Related Parties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding Sections of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Section 8.06. Resignation; Successor Administrative Agent. (a) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this Section, the

Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower Representative. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower Representative, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower Representative to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower Representative and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

(b) Notwithstanding clause (a) above, any entity into which the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity shall be a party, or any corporation to which substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity may be transferred, shall succeed the Administrative Agent and assume the obligations of the Administrative Agent, without any further action; provided that the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Representative and the Lenders of such merger, conversion, consolidation or transfer.

(c) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section, in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower Representative, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided that (A) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (B) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall directly be given or made to each Lender and each Issuing Bank. Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.03, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Section 8.07. Credit Decisions by Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own

decisions in taking or not taking action under or based on this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 8.08. Arranger. The Arranger shall have no duty or obligation whatsoever under this Agreement.

Section 8.09. Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to deduct withholding from any payment to any Lender as required under applicable law and shall have no obligation to gross-up any payment hereunder or to pay any additional amount as a result of such withholding. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, or if Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender pursuant to this Agreement without deduction of applicable withholding Tax from such payment, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

Section 8.10. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding involving any Loan Party (a, “Bankruptcy Proceeding”), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled but not obligated to intervene in such Bankruptcy Proceeding to (a) file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal, interest and unpaid fees in respect of the Loans, issued Letters of Credit and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid under the terms of this Agreement and other Loan Documents and to file such documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, Issuing Banks and Administrative Agent (including any claim for reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of any of the foregoing entities and their respective agents, counsel and other advisors) allowed in such Bankruptcy Proceedings; and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on account of any such claims and to distribute the same to the Lenders and Issuing Banks under the terms of this Agreement. Further, any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator or similar official in any such Bankruptcy Proceeding is (i) authorized to make payments or distributions in a Bankruptcy Proceeding directly to the Administrative Agent on behalf of all of the Lenders or Issuing Banks to whom any amounts are owed under this Agreement and other loan documents, unless the Administrative Agent expressly consents in writing to the making of such payments or distributions directly to such Lenders and Issuing Banks; and (ii) required to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and other loan documents.

ARTICLE 9
Multiple Borrowers

Section 9.01. Joint and Several. Each Borrower agrees that the representations and warranties made by, and the liabilities, obligations and covenants of and applicable to, any and all of the Borrowers under this Agreement, shall be in every case (whether or not specifically so stated in each such case herein) joint and several in all circumstances; provided that the maximum liability of each Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be incurred by such Borrower under applicable laws relating to the insolvency of debtors. Each Borrower accepts, as co-debtor and not merely as surety, such joint and several liability with the other Borrowers and hereby waives any and all suretyship defenses that it might otherwise have hereunder. If and to the

extent that any of the Borrowers shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower agrees that the obligations of such Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be enforceable against such Borrower notwithstanding that this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be unenforceable in any respect against any other Borrower or that any other Borrower may have commenced bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or similar proceedings.

Section 9.02. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by any of the Borrowers hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any of the Borrowers by any Lender, the Borrowers shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against any Borrower or any Guarantor or other guarantor or any collateral security or guaranty or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the Borrowers seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any Borrower or any Guarantor or other guarantor in respect of payments made by any Borrower hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Borrowers on account of the Obligations (other than Contingent Obligations) are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Borrower on account of such subrogation or contribution rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full or the Commitments shall not have been terminated, such amount shall be held by such Borrower in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of such Borrower, and shall, promptly upon receipt by such Borrower, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Borrower (duly indorsed by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine.

Section 9.03. Full Knowledge. Each Borrower acknowledges, represents and warrants that such Borrower has had a full and adequate opportunity to review the Loan Documents. Each Borrower represents and warrants that such Borrower fully understands the remedies the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) may pursue against such Borrower and each other Borrower in the event of a default under the Loan Documents and such Borrower’s and each other Borrower’s financial condition and ability to perform under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees to keep itself fully informed regarding all aspects of such Borrower’s and each other Borrower’s financial condition and the performance of such Borrower’s and each other Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any duty, whether now or in the future, to disclose to any Borrower any information pertaining to such Borrower, any other Borrower, any Guarantor or other guarantor or any collateral security or guaranty.

Section 9.04. Reinstatement. Each Borrower’s obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, administration, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower or any Guarantor or other guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, administrative receiver, administrator, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any Guarantor or other guarantor or any substantial part of the property of such Borrower, Guarantor or other guarantor, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

Section 9.05. Borrower Representative. Each Loan Party and, if applicable, the general partners (or general partners of those general partners, as the case may be) of such Loan Party, hereby designates Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. as its representative and agent (in such capacity,

the “Borrower Representative”) for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including requests for Loans and Letters of Credit, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications, preparation and delivery of financial reports, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any Lender. Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. hereby accepts such appointment as Borrower Representative. The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication (including any notice of borrowing) delivered by the Borrower Representative on behalf of any Borrower. The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders may give any notice or communication with a Borrower hereunder to the Borrower Representative on behalf of such Borrower. Each of the Administrative Agent, Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with the Borrower Representative for any or all purposes under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that any notice, election, communication, representation, agreement or undertaking made on its behalf by the Borrower Representative shall be binding upon and enforceable against it.

Section 10.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by any Lender Party in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Lender Parties under the Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 10.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

(b) Subject to Section 2.13(b), no Loan Document or provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower Representative and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall

(i) increase the Commitment without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby,

(iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest or any fee payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender Party directly and adversely affected thereby,

(iv) change Section 2.17(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby,

(v) change any provision of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to take any action thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender,

(vi) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from the Loan Party Guaranty (except as expressly provided hereunder or under such Loan Document), or limit the liability of all or substantially all of the Guarantors in respect thereof, without the written consent of each Lender, or

provided, further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to any credit extensions and related Lender Joinder Agreement(s) effectuated without the consent of Lenders in accordance with Section 2.21 or Section 2.22, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and other definitions related to such new Loans.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (including, without limitation, this Section 10.02) or any other Loan Document to the contrary, (i) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended to effect an incremental facility pursuant to Section 2.21 or extension facility pursuant to Section 2.22 (and the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative may effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents without the consent of any other party as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, to effect the terms of any such incremental facility or extension facility) and (ii) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the procedures described below in this clause to (x) cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative) and (y) effect administrative changes of a technical or immaterial nature (including to effect changes to the terms and conditions applicable solely to an Issuing Bank in respect of issuances of Letters of Credit) and such amendment shall be deemed approved by the Lenders if the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice of such change and the Administrative Agent shall not have

received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment.

Section 10.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrowers shall, on a joint and several basis, pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents and any amendments, supplements, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Lender Party, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Lender Party (which shall be limited to one counsel for all Lender Parties, except (x) solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict notifies the Borrower Representative of any existence of such conflict, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) and (y) to the extent that the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative of the need for specialized legal skills and thereafter, after receipt of the consent of the Borrower Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) has retained its own counsel), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

(b) The Borrowers shall, on a joint and several basis, indemnify each of the Lender Parties and their respective Related Parties (without duplication) (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including Environmental Liabilities) and related expenses, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee (which shall be limited to one counsel for all Indemnitees, except (x) solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict notifies the Borrower Representative of any existence of such conflict, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions and (y) to the extent that the Indemnitee notifies the Borrower Representative of the need for specialized legal skills and thereafter, after receipt of the consent of the Borrower Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) has retained its own counsel), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit) or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee or any Loan Party is a party thereto or whether or not such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party or any other Person; provided that such indemnity shall not be available to any Indemnitee to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s or any of its Related Parties’ bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct or from a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties under the Credit

Agreement or (y) arise out of, or in connection with, any actual or threatened litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission by the any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates and that is brought by one Indemnitee against another Indemnitee.

(c) To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender under Section 10.03(a) or (b), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based on its share of the sum of the total Credit Exposures and unused Commitments at the time.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party nor any Indemnitee shall have any liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing contained in this Section 10.03(d) shall limit any Borrower’s indemnity obligations with respect to third party claims. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent that such damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s or any of its Related Parties’ willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(e) Each Indemnitee shall provide prompt notice of any claim; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect any Indemnitee’s rights to indemnity under this Section 10.03. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable within 30 days after written demand therefor; provided, however, that any Indemnitee shall promptly refund an indemnification payment received hereunder to the extent that there is a final judicial determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such payment pursuant to this Section 10.03.

(f) The Borrower Representative is entitled to assume and control the defense and settlement of any claim so long as the Borrowers confirm their obligation to indemnify such Indemnitee in accordance with this Section 10.03. No such Indemnitee may settle a claim without the prior written consent of the Borrower Representative, which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that without the prior written consent of an Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Borrower Representative shall not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding against an Indemnitee in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnitee unless (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (ii) such settlement does not include any statement as to any admission of fault, culpability, wrongdoing or failure to act by such Indemnitee.

(g) This Section 10.03 shall not apply with respect to Taxes, other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements arising from any non-Tax claim.

Section 10.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns

permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) except as permitted under Section 6.02, no Borrower or Guarantor 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 or Guarantor 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. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Lender Parties) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:

(A) the Borrower Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed if the assignee is a bank or other depositary institution), provided that no consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default under Article 7(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee, unless, in each case, such assignment is to an Alternative Asset Investment Firm, in which case such assignment shall require the consent of the Borrower Representative in its sole discretion;

(B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender with a Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment;

(D) the Swingline Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such assignment shall be made to a natural Person, to any Borrower or any Affiliate of any Borrower or Defaulting Lender.

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000 unless each of the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 7(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent tax forms required pursuant to Section 2.16(d) and a completed 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 Loan Parties 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; and

(E) the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to consent to an assignment hereunder until it is satisfied it has complied with all necessary “know your customer”, Beneficial Ownership Regulation or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the assignment to the assignee, and an assignment will only be effective after performance by the Administrative Agent of all “know your customer”, Beneficial Ownership Regulation or other checks relating to any Person that it is required to carry out in relation to such assignment, the completion of which the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify to the assigning Lender and the assignee.

For the purposes of this Section 10.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning:

“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 Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to subsection (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment, 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, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment 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 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 10.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 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 subsection (c) of this Section.

(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 delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amounts of the Loans and LC Disbursements 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 parties hereto may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by any party hereto, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and applicable tax forms (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in subsection (b)(ii)(C) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by subsection (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b), 2.17(d) or 10.03(b), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment, whether or not evidenced by a promissory note, shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this subsection.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Loan Party or other Lender Party, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than a natural Person, any Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Borrower) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers and the other Lender Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 10.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (c)(ii) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.16(d) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.16(d) 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 subsection (b) of this Section. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); 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 or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan 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, each Loan Party and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or Section 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant (except to the extent that such entitlement to receive greater payments results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation), unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower Representative’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrower Representative is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.16(d) as though it were a Lender.

(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 without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, 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.

Section 10.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Lender Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any principal of or accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under the Loan Documents (other than Contingent Obligations) is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding or any Commitment has not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 10.03 and Article 8 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 10.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. The Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 10.07. Severability. If any provision of any Loan Document is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent (but only to the extent) of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, (ii) the other provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and (iii) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any such provision in any

jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 10.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender Party and each Affiliate of the Administrative Agent is authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender Party or Affiliate of the Administrative Agent to or for the credit or the account of a Loan Party against any of and all the obligations of a Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender Party, irrespective of whether or not such Lender Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender Party may have. Each Lender Party agrees promptly to notify the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender Party or Affiliate of the Administrative Agent; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

(b) Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any court of the State of New York and of any Federal court, in each case located in the Borough of Manhattan in connection with any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, and each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.

(d) Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in any Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Such service may be made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to such Loan Party in care of the Process Agent at the Process Agent’s above address, and each such Loan Party hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf.

Section 10.10. Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Each Lender Party agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel, other advisors and any sub-agent appointed pursuant to Section 8.05 (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority (in which case such Lender Party agrees (except with respect to any routine or ordinary course audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental or bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority), to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable law, rule or regulation, to inform the Borrower Representative promptly thereof prior to disclosure), (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (in which case such Lender Party agrees (except with respect to any routine or ordinary course audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental or bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority), to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable law, rule or regulation, to inform the Borrower Representative promptly thereof prior to disclosure), (iv) to any other party to this Agreement, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document or the enforcement of any right thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (x) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (y) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Loan Party and its obligations, provided that (i) the disclosure of any such Information to any assignee or Participant, or any prospective assignee or Participant, or any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) referred to above shall only be made after the acknowledgment and acceptance by such assignee, Participant, prospective assignee or Participant, or any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) that such Information is being disseminated on a confidential basis (on substantially the terms set forth in this Section 10.12 or confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Section 10.12), in each case for the benefit of the Loan Parties, in accordance with the standard syndication processes of such Lender Party or customary market standards for dissemination of such type of information, which shall in any event require “click through” or other affirmative actions on the part of recipient to access such Information, (vii) with the consent of the Borrower Representative, (viii) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to any Lender Party on a nonconfidential basis from a third party that is not, to such Lender Party’s knowledge, subject to confidentiality obligations owing to the Borrowers. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Loan Parties relating to the Loan Parties or their business, other than any such information that is available to any Lender Party on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Loan Parties. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

(b) EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 10.12(a) FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWERS AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

(c) ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE LOAN PARTIES OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BORROWERS AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER REPRESENTATIVE AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.

Section 10.13. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of payment, shall have been received by such Lender.

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

Section 10.14. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the USA PATRIOT Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

Section 10.15. Judgment Currency. (a) The Borrowers’ obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in a specified currency (the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or

recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent or a Lender or an Issuing Bank of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender or such Issuing Bank under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the rate of exchange at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Borrowers covenant and agree to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

(c) For purposes of determining any rate of exchange or currency equivalent for this Section, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

Section 10.16. No Fiduciary Duty. The Administrative Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their stockholders and/or their affiliates. Each Loan Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Loan Party, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Loan Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Loan Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Loan Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

Section 10.17. Acknowledgment And Consent To Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

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

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

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

Section 10.18. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement. No failure by any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Article 7 for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Issuing Banks; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.17) or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Bankruptcy Proceeding; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article 7 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.17, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

ARTICLE 11
Loan Party Guaranty

Section 11.01. Guaranty. (a) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (b), each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Parties and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete

payment and performance by each Borrower when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations.

(b) This Loan Party Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability and this Loan Party Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety.

(c) Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable laws relating to the insolvency of debtors.

(d) Each Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing this Loan Party Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party hereunder.

(e) No payment or payments made by any Borrower, any Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party from any Borrower, any Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, which shall, notwithstanding any such payment or payments other than payments made by such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or payments received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations, remain liable for the Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Obligations are paid in full (other than Contingent Obligations) and the Commitments are terminated.

(f) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Guarantor under this Article 11 shall be governed by the terms set forth in Section 2.16 of this Agreement.

Section 11.02. Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that, to the extent that any Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payments made in respect of the Loan Party Guaranty, such Person shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against the Guarantors hereunder. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 11.03 hereof. The provisions of this Section 11.02 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the full amount guaranteed by such Person under the Loan Party Guaranty.

Section 11.03. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by any Lender, the Guarantors shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against any Borrower or any other guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the Guarantors seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any Borrower or any other guarantor in respect of payments made by any Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Borrowers on account of the Obligations are paid in full (other than Contingent Obligations) and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full or the Commitments shall not have been terminated, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, promptly upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative

Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine.

Section 11.04. Guaranty Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon this Loan Party Guaranty or acceptance of this Loan Party Guaranty, the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this Loan Party Guaranty; and all dealings between the Borrowers (or any of them) and the Guarantors (or any of them), on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Loan Party Guaranty. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any Borrower or any other Guarantor or other guarantors with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that this Loan Party Guaranty shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment without regard to (a) the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Letter of Credit, any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Guarantor against any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Borrower, any Guarantor or other guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Borrower for the Obligations, of any Guarantor under this Loan Party Guaranty or of any other guarantor, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any Borrower, any Guarantor any other guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any such Borrower, Guarantor or other guarantor or other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any such Borrower, Guarantor or other guarantor or other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve the Guarantors of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against the Guarantors. This Loan Party Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantors and the respective successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, until all the Obligations and the obligations of the Guarantors under this Loan Party Guaranty (other than Contingent Obligations) shall have been satisfied by payment in full and the Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement any Borrower may be free from any Obligations.

Section 11.05. Reinstatement. This Loan Party Guaranty shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, administration, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower or any Guarantor or other guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, administrative receiver, administrator, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any Guarantor or other guarantor or any substantial part of the property of such Borrower, Guarantor or such other guarantor, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

Section 11.06. Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim in the relevant currency at the administrative office specified by the Administrative Agent.

Section 11.07. Additional Guarantors. From time to time subsequent to the Restatement Date, each entity which is required to be a Guarantor pursuant to the definition thereof shall become a Guarantor, with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor herein, for all purposes of this Agreement, upon execution and delivery by such entity of a Loan Party Joinder Agreement (and the delivery in connection therewith of written opinions of counsel and documents and certificates as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require). The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Guarantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any other party hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor as a party to this Agreement.
