required.

(A)

under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Surety is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or

jurisdictions) in which the Surety is treated as resident for tax purposes; or

(B)

under the law of the jurisdiction in which that the Surety’s Facility Office is located in respect of

amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction; or

(a)

a Tax Credit is attributable to that Tax Payment or to a Tax Deduction in consequence of which that Tax Payment

the Surety has obtained, utilised and retained that Tax Credit,

the Surety shall pay an amount to the Obligor which the Surety determines in its absolute discretion will leave it (after that payment) in the

Stamp duties and Taxes

The Company shall:

pay; and

Indirect Tax

(a)

All payments to be made by an Obligor under or in connection with any Surety Document have been calculated

rate of Indirect Tax; and

(ii)

the Surety will promptly provide to the Obligor a tax invoice complying with the relevant law relating to that

Indirect Tax.

(b)

Where a Surety Document requires an Obligor to reimburse or indemnify the Surety for any costs or expenses,

(iii)

supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status as that other

Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party’s compliance with any other law, regulation, or exchange of information regime.

(b)

subsequently becomes aware that it is not or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that Party shall notify that other Party reasonably promptly.

(c)

Clause 11.6(a) shall not oblige the Surety to do anything, and clause 11.6(a)(iii) shall not oblige any other

any law or regulation;

(ii)

any fiduciary duty; or

DLA Piper

(iii)

any duty of confidentiality.

(d)

If a Party fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party or to supply forms, documentation or

other information requested in accordance with clause 11.6(a)(i) or 11.6(a)(ii) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where clause 11.6(c) applies), then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Surety Documents (and payments under

them) as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party until such time as the Party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

11.7

FATCA Deduction

(a)

Each Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any payment required in connection

with that FATCA Deduction, and no Party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction.

12.1

Increased Costs

Subject to clause 12.3 (Exceptions) the Company shall, within five Business Days of a demand by the Surety, pay the Surety the

(a)

attributable to a Tax Deduction required by law to be made by an Obligor;

(b)

attributable to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party;

(c)

compensated for by clause 11.2 (Tax indemnity) (or would have been compensated for under

Bond will authorise and direct the relevant Beneficiary to pay the amount being received or recouped directly to the Surety.

(c)

For the purposes of clause 13.1, “Surplus Bond Moneys” means any money paid by the Surety

(i)

making or filing a claim or proof against that Obligor;

Surety Documents;

(b)

Obligor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is avoided or reduced for any reason (including as a result of insolvency, breach of fiduciary or statutory duties or any similar event) in whole or in part, then the liability of each

Guarantor under this clause 17 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred and any relevant security shall be reinstated.

17.4

Waiver of defences

The obligations of each Guarantor under this clause 17 will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this

clause, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this clause 17 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or the Surety) including:

(a)

any time, waiver or other concession or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor or other person;

(b)

Part 2 Form of Verification Certificate

From:

[Company/Original Guarantor]

To:

[Surety]

[*****] (ABN [*****]) – Surety Bond Facility Agreement dated [*****] (the Agreement)

I am a director/We are directors of [Obligor] (Company) and am/are each authorised to execute this Certificate in the name of the

Company.

I/We refer to the Agreement. Terms defined in the Agreement shall have the same meaning in this certificate unless given a different

meaning in this certificate.

Attached are true, complete and up-to-date

copies of the following:

The constitutional documents of the Company.

Extracts of minutes of a meeting of directors of the Company:

(a)

approving the terms of, and the transactions contemplated by, the Surety Documents to which it is expressed to

be a party and resolving that it execute the Surety Documents to which it is expressed to be a party personally and in the case of the Original Guarantors, including a statement of corporate benefit;

(b)

authorising the execution of [each Surety Document to which it is expressed to be a party on its behalf/a power

of attorney for execution of each Surety Document to which it is expressed to be a party]; and

(c)

authorising a specified person or persons, on its behalf, as Authorised Officer to sign or dispatch all

documents and notices (including, if relevant, any Utilisation Request) to be signed and/or despatched by it under or in connection with the Surety Documents to which it is expressed to be a party.

Any power of attorney duly stamped and registered where necessary under which the Company executed any Surety

Document to which it is expressed to be a party, executed under common seal or by two directors or a director and a secretary.

A specimen signature of each person authorised to give notices for the Company.

I/We confirm:

Each copy of document delivered under or in relation to clause 4.1 (Initial conditions precedent) of the

Agreement is a true and accurate copy of the original document.

The Company is solvent. It is not prevented by Chapter 2E (or Part 5C.7) of the Corporations Act from entering

into and performing any of the Surety Documents to which it is expressed to be a party.

The execution of the Surety Documents to which it is a party and the entry into and the giving of effect to the

transactions contemplated by them will not breach Chapter 2J of the Corporations Act.

Borrowing or guaranteeing, as appropriate, the Facility Limit would not cause any borrowing, guaranteeing or

similar limit binding on any Original Guarantor to be exceeded.

calculation of the Total Net Leverage Ratio would have resulted in lower pricing for such period, the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders shall retroactively be obligated to pay to the Borrower, promptly on demand by the

Borrower, an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such

period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender, as the case may be, under Section 2.8 [Letters of

Loans (the “Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date to, but not including, the Expiration Date, in an aggregate principal amount up to but not in excess of $20,000,000,

Credit Commitments minus (b) the Revolving Facility Usage (for purposes of this computation, Swingline Loans shall not be deemed to be borrowed amounts under its Revolving Credit Commitment); provided that no Defaulting Lender

shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such Commitment Fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that

Defaulting Lender). Subject to the proviso in the directly preceding sentence, all Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date.

date thereof, the Revolving Facility Usage would exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders; provided, further, that in the event the Revolving Credit Commitments are reduced to an aggregate amount less than the

Letter of Credit Commitments or the Swingline Loan Sublimit then in effect, the Letter of Credit Commitment and the Swingline Loan Sublimit, as applicable, shall be reduced by an amount such that none of the Letter of Credit Commitment and the

Swingline Loan Sublimit, as applicable, exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $2,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.

Any such reduction or termination shall be accompanied by prepayment of the Notes, together with outstanding Commitment Fees, and the full amount of interest accrued on the principal sum to be prepaid (and all amounts referred to in

Section 4.10 [Indemnity] hereof) to the extent necessary to cause the aggregate Revolving Facility Usage after giving effect to such prepayments to be equal to or less than the Revolving Credit Commitments as so reduced or

terminated. Any notice to reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section 2.4 shall be irrevocable.

Exhibit D-2 hereto or a request by telephone immediately confirmed in writing by letter, facsimile or telex (each, a “Swingline Loan Request”), it being understood that the

Administrative Agent may rely on the authority of any individual making such a telephonic request without the necessity of receipt of such written confirmation. Each Swingline Loan Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the proposed

Borrowing Date and the principal amount of such Swingline Loan, which shall be not less than $100,000 or an integral multiple of $50,000.

2.6 Making Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans;

Presumptions by the Administrative Agent; Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans; Borrowings to Repay Swingline Loans. (a) Making Revolving Credit Loans. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly after receipt by it of a Loan Request

pursuant to Section 2.5 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Conversions and Renewals; Swingline Loan Requests], notify the applicable Lenders of its receipt of such Loan Request specifying the information provided by the

Borrower and the apportionment among the Lenders of the requested Revolving Credit Loans as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.2 [Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect

to Revolving Credit Loans]. Each Lender shall remit its apportioned share (as provided to it by the Administrative Agent) of the principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan to the Administrative Agent such that the Administrative Agent is

able to, and the Administrative Agent shall, to the extent the Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject to Section 6.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit], fund such Revolving Credit Loans to the

Borrower in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at the Principal Office prior to 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time, on the applicable Borrowing Date; provided that if any Lender fails to remit such funds to the Administrative Agent in a timely

manner, the Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own funds the Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender on such Borrowing Date, and such Lender shall be subject to the repayment obligation in

Section 2.6(b) [Presumptions by the Administrative Agent].

(b) Presumptions by

the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time of any Loan that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such

Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.6(a) [Making Revolving Credit Loans] and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make

available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the

Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at

(i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Effective Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the

case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Loans under the Base Rate Option. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Loan to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such

Lender’s Loan. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

of a Swingline Loan Request pursuant to Section 2.5(b) [Swingline Loan Requests], fund such Swingline Loan to the Borrower in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at the Principal Office prior to 4:00 p.m. Eastern

Time on the Borrowing Date. A Swingline Loan Note shall, if required by PNC, evidence the Swingline Loans.

(d) Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans. The Borrower shall repay the outstanding

principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans, together with all outstanding interest thereon, on the Expiration Date.

(e) Borrowings to Repay Swingline Loans.

(i) Upon the making of a Swingline Loan (whether before or after the occurrence of a Potential

Default or an Event of Default and regardless of whether a settlement

has been requested with respect to such Swingline Loan), each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from PNC,

without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swingline Loan in proportion to its Ratable Share. PNC may, at its option, exercisable at any time for any reason whatsoever, demand repayment of any or all of the

outstanding Swingline Loans, and each Lender shall within one (1) Business Day thereof either (A) make a Revolving Credit Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding

Swingline Loans with respect to which repayment is demanded, plus, if PNC so requests, accrued interest thereon, provided that no Lender shall be obligated in any event to make Revolving Credit Loans in excess of its Revolving Credit

Commitment minus its Ratable Share of Letter of Credit Obligations and minus its Ratable Share of any Swingline Loans not so being repaid or (B) during the continuance of an Insolvency Proceeding or Relief Proceeding with respect

to the Borrower, fund such Swingline Loan participations by paying to PNC such Lender’s Ratable Share of the outstanding Swingline Loans. Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall bear interest at the Base Rate

Option and shall be deemed to have been properly requested in accordance with Section 2.5(a) [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Conversions and Renewals] without regard to any of the requirements of that provision. PNC shall

provide notice to the Lenders (which may be telephonic or written notice by letter, facsimile or telex) that such Revolving Credit Loans are to be made under this Section 2.6(e) and of the apportionment among the Lenders,

and the Lenders shall be unconditionally obligated to fund such Revolving Credit Loans (whether or not the conditions specified in Section 2.5(a) [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Conversions and Renewals] or in

Section 6.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit] are then satisfied) by the time PNC so requests, which shall not be earlier than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Business Day next after the date the Lenders receive such notice

from PNC.

(ii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the

account of PNC (as the Swingline Loan Lender) any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.6(e) by the time specified in Section 2.6(e)(i),

the Swingline Loan Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment

is immediately available to the Swingline Loan Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Effective Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation,

plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swingline Loan Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such

Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan with respect to such prepayment. A certificate of the Swingline Loan Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (ii) shall be

conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) Swingline Loans Under Cash Management Agreements. In addition

to making Swingline Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 2.6(c) [Making Swingline Loans], without the requirement for a specific request from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.5(b)

[Swingline Loan Requests], PNC as the Swingline Loan Lender may make Swingline Loans to the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of the agreements between the Borrower and such Swingline Loan Lender relating to the Borrower’s

deposit, sweep and other accounts at such Swingline Loan Lender and related arrangements and agreements regarding Cash Management Obligations to the extent of the daily aggregate net negative balance in the Borrower’s accounts which are

subject to the provisions of the Cash Management Agreements. Swingline Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.6(f) in accordance with the provisions of the Cash Management Agreements shall (i) be subject to the

limitations as to

aggregate amount specified in Section 2.1(b) [Swingline Loan Sublimit], (ii) not be subject to the limitations as to individual amount specified in

Section 2.5(b) [Swingline Loan Requests], (iii) be payable by the Borrower, both as to principal and interest, at the rates and times specified in the Cash Management Agreements (but in no event later than the Expiration

Date), (iv) not be made at any time after such Swingline Loan Lender has received written notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default and so long as such shall continue to exist, or, unless consented to by the Required Lenders, a Potential

Default and so long as such shall continue to exist, (v) if not repaid by the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of the Cash Management Agreements, be subject to each Lender’s obligation pursuant to

Section 2.6(e) [Borrowings to Repay Swingline Loans], and (vi) except as provided in the foregoing subsections (i) through (v), be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this

Article 2.

2.7 Notes. The Obligation of the Borrower to repay the

aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans made to it by each Lender, together with interest thereon, shall, at the option of such Lender, be evidenced by a revolving credit Note and a swing Note payable to

such Lender and its registered assigns in a face amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment or Swingline Loans of such Lender.

2.8 Letters of Credit.

(a) Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower or any other Loan Party may at any time prior to the

Expiration Date request the issuance of a letter of credit denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency (each, a “Letter of Credit”) for its own account or the account of another Loan Party or any Subsidiary or the amendment

or extension of an existing Letter of Credit, by delivering or transmitting electronically, or having such other Loan Party deliver or transmit electronically to the applicable Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a completed

application for letter of credit, or request for such amendment or extension, as applicable, in such form as such Issuing Lender may specify from time to time by no later than 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time at least five (5) Business Days, or such

shorter period as may be agreed to by such Issuing Lender, in advance of the proposed date of issuance. The Borrower or any Loan Party or any Subsidiary shall authorize and direct such Issuing Lender to name the Borrower or any Loan Party as the

“Applicant” or “Account Party” of each Letter of Credit. Promptly after receipt of any letter of credit application, such Issuing Lender shall confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the

Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit application and if not, such Issuing Lender will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof.

(i) Unless the applicable Issuing Lender has received notice from any Lender, the Administrative

Agent or any Loan Party, at least one (1) day prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions in Article 6 [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of

Letters of Credit] is not satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders specified in this Section 2.8, the Issuing Lender or any of such Issuing

Lender’s Affiliates will issue the proposed Letter of Credit or agree to such amendment or extension; provided that each Letter of Credit shall (A) have a maximum maturity of twelve (12) months from the date of issuance, and

(B) in no event expire later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Expiration Date; provided, further, that at the sole discretion of the applicable Issuing Lender, any Letter of Credit with a maturity twelve

(12) months from the date of issuance may provide for the extension thereof for additional twelve (12) month period so long as (I) the expiry date of such Letter of Credit (as so extended) is not later than the date set forth in the

immediately preceding clause (B) and (II) such Letter of Credit must permit the Issuing Lender to prevent any such extension at least once in such additional twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by

giving prior notice to the beneficiary

thereof not later than a day in each such twelve-month period to be agreed by the Borrower and such Issuing Lender at the time such Letter of Credit is issued; and provided,

further, that in no event shall (1) the Revolving Facility Usage exceed, at any one time, the Revolving Credit Commitments, (2) the Letter of Credit Obligations of any Issuing Lender exceed the Issuing Lender L/C Sublimit of such

Issuing Lender (unless such Issuing Lender shall have consented thereto in writing), (3) the Dollar Equivalent of the sum of the Revolving Facility Usage denominated in the Alternative Currency exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit. Each request

by the Borrower for the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that it shall be in compliance with the preceding sentence and with Article 6 [Conditions of Lending and

Issuance of Letters of Credit] after giving effect to the requested issuance, amendment or extension of such Letter of Credit and (4) any Issuing Lender that is not an Alternative Currency Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of

Credit in an Alternative Currency. Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable Issuing Lender will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a

true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (x) if any Issuing Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in a

Letter of Credit Borrowing or (y) if, on the Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, promptly Cash Collateralize the then outstanding amount of all Letter of Credit

Obligations. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Issuing Lender and the Lenders, a security interest in all cash collateral pledged pursuant to this Section or otherwise under this Agreement.

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 2.8(a)(i), the Issuing Lender shall not

be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Official Body or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Lender from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any Law

applicable to the Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Official Body with jurisdiction over the Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of

letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Lender with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated

hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or any such order, judgment or decree, or Law request or directive, shall impose upon the Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the

Issuing Lender in good faith deems material to it, (B) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuing Lender applicable to letters of credit generally or (C) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting

Lender, unless the Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the Issuing Lender (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the Issuing Lender’s actual

or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.9(a)(iv) [Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure]) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then

proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other Letter of Credit Obligations as to which the Issuing Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion. Any amounts advanced by the Borrower in

furtherance of the foregoing shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender as described in clause (C) above.

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay in Dollars, or at the Administrative Agent’s

option, the Alternative Currency in which the Letter of Credit is issued (i) to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the

Applicable Margin for Letters of Credit times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit (it being understood and agreed that in no event shall

the fee under this subsection (i) in respect of any Letter of Credit be less than the Administrative Agent’s minimum fee in effect from time to time), and (ii) to each Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee equal to 0.125%

per annum on the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit. All Letter of Credit Fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed and shall be payable

within five (5) Business Days following the Borrower’s receipt of an invoice therefor. The Borrower shall also pay (in Dollars) to each Issuing Lender for the Issuing Lender’s sole account the Issuing Lender’s then-in-effect customary fees and administrative expenses payable with respect to the Letters of Credit as the Issuing Lender may generally charge or incur from time to time

in connection with the issuance, maintenance, amendment (if any), assignment or transfer (if any), negotiation, and administration of Letters of Credit.

shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from each Issuing Lender a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the maximum

amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively, in each case in the Currency in which each Letter of Credit is issued.

(i) In the event of any compliant drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or

transferee thereof, the Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Provided that it shall have received such notice, the Borrower shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender shall

sometimes be referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation”) the Issuing Lender prior to noon on the date that is one (1) Business Day following the Drawing Date (as defined below) that an amount is paid by the Issuing Lender

under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Drawing Date”) by paying to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender an amount, in the Currency of the drawing under such Letter of Credit, equal to the amount

so paid by the Issuing Lender. In the event the Borrower fails to reimburse the Issuing Lender (through the Administrative Agent) for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, in the Currency of such drawing, by noon on the date

that is one (1) Business Day following the Drawing Date, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that Revolving Credit Loans be made by the Lenders in Dollars (and,

if the Letter of Credit was denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Dollar Equivalent amount to the amount paid by the applicable Issuing Lender in such Alternative Currency on the Drawing Date thereof) under the Base Rate Option to be disbursed

on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, in each case, subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment and subject to the conditions specified in Section 6.2 [Each Loan or Letter of

Credit] other than any notice requirements. Any notice given by the Administrative Agent or Issuing Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.8(c)(i) may be oral if promptly confirmed in writing; provided

that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to

Section 2.8(c)(i) make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender an amount in Dollars in immediately available funds equal to its Ratable Share of the amount of the

drawing (and if the Letter of Credit was denominated in an Alternative Currency, in the Dollar Equivalent amount to the amount paid by the applicable Issuing Lender in such Alternative Currency on the Drawing Date thereof), whereupon the

participating Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.8(c) [Disbursements; Reimbursement]) each be deemed to have (A) made a Revolving Credit Loan

under the Base Rate Option to the Borrower in that amount, or (B) during the continuance of an Insolvency Proceeding or Relief Proceeding with respect to the Borrower, funded its Ratable

Share of the Reimbursement Obligations arising by reason of such drawing. If any Lender so notified fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share

of such amount by no later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the first Business Day following the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from such date to but excluding the date on which such

Lender makes such payment (A) at a rate per annum equal to the Effective Federal Funds Rate during the first three (3) days following the Drawing Date and (B) at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Bank Funding Rate applicable to

Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option on and after the fourth day following such date. The Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender will promptly give notice (as described in Section 2.8(c)(i) above) of the

occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender

from its obligation under this Section 2.8(c)(ii).

(iii) With

respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into Revolving Credit Loans in Dollars under the Base Rate Option to the Borrower in whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.8(c)(i), because of the

Borrower’s failure to satisfy the conditions specified in Section 6.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit] other than any notice requirements, or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the

Issuing Lender a borrowing (each, a “Letter of Credit Borrowing”) in Dollars the amount of such drawing and, if the Letter of Credit was denominated in an Alternative Currency, in the Dollar Equivalent amount to the amount paid by

the Issuing Lender in such Alternative Currency on the Drawing Date thereof. Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit

Loans under the Base Rate Option. Each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.8(c) shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation

in such Letter of Credit Borrowing (each, a “Participation Advance”) from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.8(c).

(d) Repayment of Participation Advances.

(i) Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing

Lender of immediately available funds from the Borrower (A) in reimbursement of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a Participation Advance to the Administrative Agent, or

(B) in payment of interest on such a payment made by the Issuing Lender under such a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Issuing Lender will pay to each Lender, in the same funds as those received by the Administrative

Agent, the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of such funds, except the Administrative Agent shall retain for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount of the Ratable Share of such funds of any Lender that did not make a Participation

Advance in respect of such payment by the Issuing Lender.

(ii) If the Administrative Agent

is required at any time to return to any Loan Party, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any Insolvency Proceeding, any portion of any payment made by any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent for the account of the

Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section in reimbursement of a payment made under any Letter of Credit or interest or fees thereon, each Lender shall, on demand of the Administrative

Agent, forthwith return to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount of its Ratable Share of any amounts so returned by the Administrative Agent plus interest

thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amounts are returned by such Lender to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the Effective Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time, in the applicable Currency of such

payment

(e) Documentation. Each Loan Party agrees to be bound by the terms of the Issuing

Lender’s application and agreement for letters of credit and the Issuing Lender’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though such interpretation may be different from such Loan Party’s own. In

the event of a conflict between such application or agreement and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Issuing Lender shall not be liable for

any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following any Loan Party’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.

(f) Determinations to Honor Drawing Requests. In determining whether to honor any request for drawing

under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Lender shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on

their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Nature of Participation and Reimbursement

Obligations. Each Lender’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Credit Loans or Participation Advances, as contemplated by Section 2.8(c) [Disbursements, Reimbursement], as a result

of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the Obligations of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Lender upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the

terms of this Section 2.8 under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

(i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or

other right which such Lender may have against the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, or which any Loan Party may have against the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates, any Lender

or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;

(ii) the failure of any Loan Party or any

other Person to comply, in connection with a Letter of Credit Borrowing, with the conditions specified in Sections 2.1 [Revolving Credit Commitments], 2.5 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Conversions and Renewals; Swingline

Loan Requests], 2.6 [Making Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans; Etc.] or 6.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit] or as otherwise specified in this Agreement for the making of a Revolving Credit Loan, it being acknowledged that such

conditions are not required for the making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing and the obligation of the Lenders to make Participation Advances under Section 2.8(c) [Disbursements, Reimbursement];

(iii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

(iv) any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by any Loan Party or any Lender against

any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, cross claim, defense or other right which any Loan Party or any Lender may have at any time against a

beneficiary, successor beneficiary any transferee or assignee of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates or any Lender or any other Person,

whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between any Loan Party or Subsidiaries of a Loan

Party and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

(v) the lack of

power or authority of any signer of (or any defect in or forgery of any signature or endorsement on) or the form of or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other

document presented under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, or any fraud or alleged fraud in connection with any Letter of Credit, or the transport of any property or provision of services relating to a Letter of Credit, in each case even

if the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates has been notified thereof;

(vi) payment by the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates under any Letter of Credit

against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(vii) the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or

any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic of any property or services relating to a Letter of Credit;

(viii) any failure by the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit

in the form requested by any Loan Party, unless the Issuing Lender has received written notice from such Loan Party of such failure within three (3) Business Days after the Issuing Lender shall have furnished such Loan Party and the

Administrative Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;

(ix) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition

(financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Loan Party or Subsidiaries of a Loan Party;

(x) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party thereto;

(xi) the occurrence or continuance of an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Loan

Party;

(xii) the fact that an Event of Default or a Potential Default shall have

occurred and be continuing;

(xiii) the fact that the Expiration Date shall have passed or

this Agreement or the Commitments hereunder shall have been terminated;

(xiv) any other

circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; and

(xv) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant

Alternative Currency to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally.

(h) Liability for Acts and Omissions. As between any

Loan Party and the Issuing Lender, or the Issuing Lender’s Affiliates, such Loan Party assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In

furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for any of the following, including any losses or damages to any Loan Party or other Person or property relating therefrom: (i) the form, validity,

sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid,

insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any

such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other

party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any Loan Party against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such

transferee, or any dispute between or among any Loan Party and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable,

telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms or errors in translation; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a

drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising

from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates, as applicable, including any act or omission of any Official Body, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the Issuing Lender’s or

its Affiliates rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve the Issuing Lender from liability for the Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with actions or omissions described in

such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates be liable to any Loan Party for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special

damages or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuing Lender and each of its Affiliates (i) may rely on any oral

or other communication believed in good faith by the Issuing Lender or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit, (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on

their face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or

compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by the Issuing Lender or its Affiliate;

(iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and

shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the Laws or

practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on the Issuing Lender or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter

of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each, an “Order”) and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other

documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific

provisions specified above, any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith,

shall not put the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates under any resulting liability to the Borrower or any Lender.

(i) Issuing Lender Reporting Requirements. Each Issuing Lender shall, on the first Business Day of each

month, provide to Administrative Agent and the Borrower a schedule of the Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, showing the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the account party, the

original face amount (if any), and the expiration date of any Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during the preceding month, and any other information relating to such Letter of Credit that the Administrative Agent may request.

2.9 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,

if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove

any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as specified in the definition of “Required Lenders.”

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other

amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 9 [Default] or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting

Lender pursuant to Section 9.2(b) [Setoff] shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to

the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Lender or Swingline Loan Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing

Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 4.12 [Cash Collateral]; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default

exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative

Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize

the Issuing Lender’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 4.12 [Cash Collateral];

sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender or Swingline Loan Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Lender or Swingline Loan Lender

against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the

Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to

such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Letter of Credit Borrowing in respect of which such Defaulting

Lender has not fully funded its

appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions specified in Section 6.2 [Each Loan or Letter

of Credit] were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Letter of Credit Borrowings owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied

to the payment of any Loans of, or Letter of Credit Borrowing owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Obligations and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in

accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility without giving effect to Section 2.9(a)(iv) [Reallocation of Participation to Reduce Fronting Exposure]. Any payments, prepayments or other

amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.9(a)(ii) [Defaulting Lender Waterfall] shall be

deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees.

(1) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during

which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(2) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period

during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Ratable Share of the amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 4.12 [Cash Collateral].

(3) With respect to any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender

pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting

Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Obligations or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Lender and

Swingline Loan Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Lender’s or Swingline Loan Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and

(z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) Reallocation of

Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Obligations and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting

Lenders in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Facility Usage of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Subject to Section 11.13 [Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions], no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become

a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans. If the reallocation described in

clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall,

without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under Law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Loan Lender’s Fronting Exposure

and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures specified in Section 4.12 [Cash Collateral].

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Swingline Loan Lender and

Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions specified therein

(which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may

determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to

Section 2.9(a)(iv) [Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure], whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to

fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from

Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Swingline Loan Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, extend,

renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

2.10 Incremental Loans. At any time, the Borrower may by written notice to the

Administrative Agent elect to establish one or more increases in the Revolving Credit Commitments (any such increase, an “Incremental Loan Commitment”) to make revolving credit loans (any such loan, an “Incremental

Loan”); provided that (i) the total aggregate principal amount for all such Incremental Loan Commitments shall not (as of any date of incurrence thereof) exceed $150,000,000 and (ii) the total aggregate principal amount

for each Incremental Loan Commitment (and the Incremental Loans made thereunder) shall not be less than a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount that shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) and shall be

in integral multiples of $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount that shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) in excess thereof or, if less, the remaining amount permitted pursuant to the foregoing clause (i). Each such notice shall

specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that any Incremental Loan Commitment shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than five (5) Business Days (or such lesser number of

days as is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) after the date on which such notice is delivered to Administrative Agent. The Borrower may, but is under no obligation to do so, invite any Affiliate of any Lender and/or any Approved

Fund, and/or any other Person reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, to provide an Incremental Loan Commitment (any such Person, an “Incremental Lender”); provided that the Swingline Loan Lender and each

Issuing Lender with an Issuing Lender L/C Sublimit equal to or in excess of $35,000,000 shall consent in writing to each Incremental Lender providing any portion of an Incremental Loan Commitment. Any proposed Incremental Lender offered or

approached to provide all or a portion of any Incremental Loan Commitment may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Loan Commitment. Any Incremental Loan Commitment shall become effective as of such Increased Amount

Date; provided that:

(a) no Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount

Date before or after giving effect to any Incremental Loan Commitment; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that any making of any Loan or any issuance, extension or increase with respect to any Letter of Credit in reliance on any

Incremental Loan Commitment shall be subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit].

(b) Any proposed Incremental Lender shall join this Agreement as a Lender pursuant to a Lender Joinder

Agreement;

constitute Obligations of the Borrower and shall be secured and guaranteed with the other Obligations on a pari passu basis;

(i) such Incremental Loans shall be part of the Revolving Credit Facility, shall mature on the

Expiration Date, shall bear interest and be entitled to fees, in each case at the rate applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility, and shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Revolving Credit Facility;

(ii) Incremental Loan Commitments shall be effected pursuant to such amendments to this Agreement

and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.10, without the consent of any other Lenders; and

(iii) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any customary legal opinions or other

documents (including, without limitation, a resolution duly adopted by the board of directors (or equivalent governing body) of each Loan Party authorizing such Incremental Loans and/or Incremental Loan Commitments) reasonably requested by

Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.

(d) The Incremental Lenders shall be included

in any determination of the Required Lenders.

(e) On any Increased Amount Date on which any Incremental

Loan Commitment becomes effective, subject to the foregoing terms and conditions, each Incremental Lender with an Incremental Loan Commitment shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Incremental Loan Commitment.

ARTICLE 3

INTEREST RATES

3.1 Interest Rate Options. The Borrower shall pay interest in respect of the outstanding unpaid

principal amount of the Loans as selected by it from the Base Rate Option or Term SOFR Rate Option specified below applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans, or the Swingline Loans, respectively, it being understood that, subject to the provisions of

this Agreement, the Borrower may select different Interest Rate Options and different Interest Periods to apply simultaneously to the Loans comprising different Borrowing Tranches and may convert to or renew one or more Interest Rate Options with

respect to all or any portion of the Loans comprising any Borrowing Tranche; provided that there shall not be at any one time outstanding more than ten (10) Borrowing Tranches of Revolving Credit Loans; provided, further,

that if an Event of Default or Potential Default exists and is continuing, then for so long as such Event of Default or Potential Default is continuing, (i) no outstanding Borrowing Tranche may be converted to, or continued as, a Term SOFR Rate

Loan and (ii) Required Lenders may demand

that each Term SOFR Rate Loan be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan immediately, subject to the obligation of the Borrower to pay any indemnity under Section 4.10

[Indemnity] in connection with any such conversion, or at the end of the applicable Interest Period. If at any time the designated rate applicable to any Loan made by any Lender exceeds such Lender’s highest lawful rate, the rate of

interest on such Lender’s Loan shall be limited to such Lender’s highest lawful rate. The applicable Base Rate or Term SOFR Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest

error.

(a) Revolving Credit Interest Rate Options. The Borrower shall have the right to select from

the following Interest Rate Options applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans:

(i) Revolving Credit Base Rate Option: A fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the

basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, such interest rate to change automatically from time to time effective as of the effective date of each change in the

Base Rate; or

(ii) Revolving Credit Term SOFR Rate Option: A rate per annum

(computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) equal to the Term SOFR Rate as determined for each applicable Interest Period plus the SOFR Adjustment for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Swingline Loan Interest Rate. The Swingline Loans shall accrue interest at a fluctuating rate per

annum (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, such interest rate to change automatically from time to time effective as of the effective

date of each change in the Base Rate.

Agent on or before the date on which a Loan Request is to be delivered to receive an indication of the rates then in effect, but it is acknowledged that such projection shall not be binding on the Administrative Agent or the Lenders nor affect the

rate of interest which thereafter is actually in effect when the election is made.

3.2 Conforming

Changes Relating to the Term SOFR Rate. With respect to the Term SOFR Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan

Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, the Administrative Agent shall provide

notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

3.3 Interest After Default. To the extent permitted by Law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default

and until such time such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived, upon request by the Required Lenders to the Administrative Agent:

(a) Letter of Credit Fees, Interest Rate. The Letter of Credit Fees and the rate of interest for each

Loan otherwise applicable pursuant to Section 2.8(b) [Letter of Credit Fees] or Section 3.1 [Interest Rate Options], respectively, shall be increased by 2.0% per annum;

(b) Other Obligations. Each other Obligation hereunder if not paid when due shall bear interest at a rate

per annum equal to the sum of the rate of interest applicable to Revolving Credit

Loans under the Base Rate Option plus an additional 2.0% per annum from the time such Obligation becomes due and payable until the time such Obligation is paid in full; and

Section 3.3 reflects, among other things, the fact that such Loans or other amounts have become a substantially greater risk given their default status and that the Lenders are entitled to additional compensation for such

risk; and all such interest shall be payable by Borrower upon demand by Administrative Agent.

3.4 Rate

Unascertainable; Increased Costs; Illegality; Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a) Unascertainable;

Increased Costs. If at any time:

(i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined

(which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Term SOFR Rate cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof; or

(ii) the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a

Term SOFR Rate Loan or conversion thereto or continuation thereof that the Term SOFR Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding, establishing or maintaining such Loan during the applicable Interest Period, as

applicable, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent,

then the Administrative

Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 3.4(c) [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights].

(b) Illegality. If at any time any Lender shall have determined, or any Official Body shall have

asserted, that the making, maintenance or funding of any Term SOFR Rate Loan, or the determination or charging of interest rates based on the Term SOFR Rate, has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any

Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or directive of any such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law), then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in

Section 3.4(c) [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights].

of any event specified in Section 3.4(a) [Unascertainable; Increased Costs] above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Borrower thereof, and in the case of an event specified in

Section 3.4(b) [Illegality] above, such Lender shall promptly so notify the Administrative Agent and endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and the Administrative Agent shall

promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the other Lenders and the Borrower. Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given), the obligation of (i) the

Lenders, in the case of such notice given by the Administrative Agent, or (ii) such Lender, in the case of such notice given by such Lender, to allow the Borrower to select, convert to, renew or continue a Term SOFR Rate Loan, as applicable,

shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Rate Loan or Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent shall have later notified the Borrower, or such Lender shall have later notified the Administrative Agent, of the

Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s, as the case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to such previous determination no longer exist. Upon a determination by Administrative Agent under

Section 3.4(a) [Unascertainable; Increased Costs], (i)if the Borrower has previously notified the Administrative Agent of its selection of, conversion to or renewal of a Term SOFR Rate Option and the

Term SOFR Rate Option has not yet gone into effect, such notification shall be deemed to provide for selection of, conversion to or renewal of a Base Rate Loan, and (iii) any outstanding

affected Term SOFR Rate Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. If any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent of a determination under Section 3.4(b)

[Illegality], the Borrower shall, subject to the Borrower’s indemnification Obligations under Section 4.10 [Indemnity], as to any Loan of the Lender to which a Term SOFR Rate Option applies, on the date specified

in such notice either convert such Loan to a Base Rate Loan otherwise available with respect to such Loan or prepay such Loan in accordance with Section 4.2 [Voluntary Prepayments]. Absent due notice from the Borrower

of conversion or prepayment, such Loan shall automatically be converted to a Base Rate Loan upon such specified date.

(d) Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(i) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any

other Loan Document (and any agreement executed in connection with a Hedging Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting”), if a Benchmark

Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (A) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of

“Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark

settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (B) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of

York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so

long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

(ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use,

administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any

amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will

promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark

Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to paragraph (iv) below and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any

determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section, 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.

(iv) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate or based on a term rate and

either (I) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (II) the regulatory

supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the

definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor; and (B) if a

tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (I) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (II) is not, or is no longer, subject to an

announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all

Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(v) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the

commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a given Benchmark, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Loan bearing interest based on or with reference to such Benchmark or conversion to or continuation of Loans

bearing interest based on or with reference to such Benchmark to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Base

Rate Loan or conversion to a Base Rate Loan. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such

tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

(vi) Definitions. As used in this Section:

“Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the

then-current Benchmark, as applicable, if such Benchmark is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining the length of an interest period pursuant to this Agreement as of such date and not

including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor of such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to clause (iv) of this Section.

“Benchmark” means, initially, SOFR and the Term SOFR Reference Rate; provided that

if a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate

pursuant to this Section.

“Benchmark Replacement” means,

with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1) the sum of: (A) Daily Simple SOFR and (B) the SOFR Adjustment for a 1-month Interest Period

(2) the sum of (A) the

alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, giving due consideration to (x) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the

Relevant Governmental Body or (y) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time and

(B) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

provided that if the Benchmark Replacement as determined

pursuant to the foregoing would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and provided, further, that any Benchmark Replacement

shall be administratively feasible as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the

then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative

Agent and the Borrower, giving due consideration to (A) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable

Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body or (B) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the

replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time.

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent,

which date shall be no later than the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition

Event,” the later of (A) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (B) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof)

permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the

date determined by the Administrative Agent, which date shall

promptly follow the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein;

For the avoidance of doubt, if such Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, the “Benchmark Replacement

Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such

Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Transition

Event” means, the occurrence of one or more of the following events, with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of

such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term

rate, all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any

Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

(2) a public statement or

publication of information by an Official Body having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent, the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Federal Reserve

Board, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such

component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to

provide such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of

such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or

such component thereof); or

(3) a public statement or publication of information by the

regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) or an Official Body having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent announcing that such Benchmark (or such component

thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative.

For the avoidance of doubt, if such Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, a “Benchmark

Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth

above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means the period (if any) (x)

beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with this

Section 3.4(d) titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting” and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document

in accordance with this Section 3.4(d) titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting.”

“Floor” means the benchmark rate floor, if any, provided in this Agreement initially (as

of the execution of this Agreement, the modification, amendment or renewal of this Agreement or otherwise) with respect to the Term SOFR Rate or, if no floor is specified, zero.

“Relevant Governmental Body” means the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System

and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or any successor thereto.

“Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement excluding

the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

3.5 Selection of Interest Rate Options. If the

Borrower fails to select a new Interest Period to apply to any Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the Term SOFR Rate Option at the expiration of an existing Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing Tranche in accordance with

Section 2.5 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Loan Conversions and Renewals; Swingline Loan Requests], the Borrower shall be deemed to have converted such Borrowing Tranche to the Base Rate Option, as applicable to Revolving

Credit Loans commencing upon the last day of the existing Interest Period. If the Borrower provides any Loan Request related to a Loan at the Term SOFR Rate Option but fails to identify an Interest Period therefor, such Loan Request shall be deemed

to request an Interest Period of one (1) month. Any Loan Request that fails to select an Interest Rate Option shall be deemed to be a request for the Base Rate Option.

ARTICLE 4

PAYMENTS; TAXES;

YIELD MAINTENANCE

4.1 Payments. All payments and prepayments to be made in respect of principal,

interest, Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, Administrative Agent’s Fee or other fees or amounts due from the Borrower hereunder shall be payable prior to 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the date when due without presentment, demand, protest

or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, and without set-off, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature, an action therefor shall immediately accrue. Such payments

shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office for the account of the Swingline Loan Lender with respect to the Swingline Loans and for the ratable accounts of the Lenders with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans in U.S. Dollars

and in immediately available funds, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such amounts to the Lenders in immediately available funds; provided that in the event payments are received by 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time by the

Administrative Agent with respect to the Loans and such payments are not distributed to the Lenders on the same day received by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall pay the

Lenders interest at the Effective Federal Funds Rate with respect to the amount of such payments for each day held by the Administrative Agent and not distributed to the Lenders. The

Administrative Agent’s statement of account, ledger or other relevant record shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as the statement of the amount of principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts owing under this

Agreement.

4.2 Voluntary Prepayments.

(a) Right to Prepay. The Borrower shall have the right at its option from time to time to prepay the

Loans in whole or part without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 4.13 [Replacement of a Lender] below, in Section 4.8 [Increased Costs] and Section 4.10

[Indemnity]). Whenever the Borrower desires to prepay any part of the Loans, it shall provide a prepayment notice to the Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of the

Revolving Credit Loans that bear interest at the Base Rate Option and at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans that bear interest at the Term SOFR Rate Option, or no later than 1:00 p.m.

Eastern Time on the date of prepayment of Swingline Loans, setting forth the following information:

(i) the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed prepayment is to be made;

(ii) a statement indicating the application of the prepayment between the Revolving Credit

Loans and Swingline Loans;

(iii) a statement indicating the application of the prepayment

between Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies and Loans to which the Term SOFR Rate Option applies; and

(iv) the total principal amount of such prepayment, which shall not be less than the lesser of

(A) the Revolving Facility Usage or (B) $100,000 for any Swingline Loan or $500,000 (or increments of $500,000 in excess thereof) for any Revolving Credit Loan.

All prepayment notices shall be irrevocable. The principal amount of the Loans for which a prepayment notice is given,

together with interest on such principal amount, shall be due and payable on the date specified in such prepayment notice as the date on which the proposed prepayment is to be made. Except as provided in Section 3.4(c)

[Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights], if the Borrower prepays a Loan but fails to specify the applicable Borrowing Tranche which the Borrower is prepaying, the prepayment shall be applied (1) Revolving Credit Loans; and

(2) after giving effect to the allocations in clause (1) above and in the preceding sentence, first to Base Rate Loans, then to Term SOFR Rate Loans. Any prepayment hereunder shall be subject to the Borrower’s Obligation to indemnify

the Lenders under Section 4.10 [Indemnity].

4.3 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) If at any time the Revolving Facility Usage is in excess of the Revolving Credit Commitments (as used

in this Section 4.3, a “deficiency”), the Borrower shall immediately make a principal payment on the Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans sufficient to cause the principal balance Loans then

outstanding to be equal to or less than the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect. If a deficiency cannot be eliminated pursuant to this Section 4.3 by prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans as a

result of outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations, the Borrower

shall also deposit cash collateral with the Administrative Agent, to be held by the Administrative Agent to secure such outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations.

(b) If the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower at any time that the Dollar Equivalent of the sum of the

Revolving Facility Usage denominated in Alternative Currencies exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit then, within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize Letters

of Credit in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such amount as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit.

Obligations (other than undrawn Letters of Credit) exceeds 25% of the Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) the aggregate amount of Unrestricted Cash of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries exceeds $150,000,000, then not later than the third

Business Day thereafter, the Borrower shall, first prepay Swingline Loans, second, prepay Revolving Credit Loans and third prepay or Cash Collateralize (as applicable) Letter of Credit Obligations so that the threshold in either

clause (i) or clause (ii) would not be exceeded.

4.4 Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders. Each

borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans shall be allocated to each Lender according to its Ratable Share, and each selection of, conversion to or renewal of any Interest Rate Option and each payment or prepayment by the Borrower with respect to

principal, interest, Commitment Fees and Letter of Credit Fees (but excluding the Administrative Agent’s Fee and the Issuing Lender’s fronting fee) shall (except as otherwise may be provided with respect to a Defaulting Lender and except

as provided in Sections 3.4(c) [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights] in the case of an event specified in Section 3.4 [Rate Unascertainable; Etc.],

Section 4.13 [Replacement of a Lender] or Section 4.8 [Increased Costs]) be payable ratably among the Lenders entitled to such payment in accordance with the amount of principal, interest,

Commitment Fees and Letter of Credit Fees, as specified in this Agreement. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, each borrowing or payment or prepayment by the Borrower of principal, interest, fees or other amounts from the Borrower with respect to

Swingline Loans shall be made by or to the Swingline Loan Lender according to Section 2.6(e) [Borrowings to Repay Swingline Loans].

4.5 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff, counterclaim

or banker’s lien or other any right, by receipt of voluntary payment, by realization upon security, or by any other non-pro rata source, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any

of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than the pro-rata share of the amount such Lender is entitled thereto, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face

value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the

aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise

thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, together with interest or other amounts, if any, required by Law (including court order) to be paid by the Lender or the

holder making such purchase; and

(ii) the provisions of this

Section 4.5 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Loan Parties pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of the Loan Documents (including the application of funds arising from the

existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or Participation Advances to any assignee or participant.

Each Loan Party 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 each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such

participation. For purposes of clause (b) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, a Lender that acquires a participation pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall be treated as having acquired an interest in such participation

on the earlier date on which such Lender acquired an interest in the applicable Loan or Commitment to which such participation relates.

4.6 Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall

have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent

may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has

not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Lender, with interest

thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Effective Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent

in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

4.7 Interest Payment Dates.

Interest on Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date. Interest on Loans to which the Term SOFR Rate Option applies shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period and, if

such Interest Period is longer than three (3) months, also at the end of each three month period during such Interest Period. Interest on mandatory prepayments of principal under Section 4.3 [Mandatory Prepayments]

shall be due on the date such mandatory prepayment is due. Interest on the principal amount of each Loan or other monetary Obligation shall be due and payable on demand after such principal amount or other monetary Obligation becomes due and payable

(whether on the stated Expiration Date, upon acceleration or otherwise). Interest shall be computed to, but excluding, the date payment is due.

4.8 Increased Costs.

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance

charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or the Issuing Lender;

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other

than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to its loans, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or

its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose

on any Lender, any Issuing Lender or the relevant market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or 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 or such other Recipient of making, converting to,

continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Lender or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of

maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other

amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Issuing Lender or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, the Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or

the Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that upon the occurrence of any Change in Law imposing a reserve percentage on any interest rate based on SOFR, the

Administrative Agent, in its reasonable discretion, may modify the calculation of each such SOFR-based interest rate to add (or otherwise account for) such reserve percentage.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting

such Lender or the Issuing Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of

return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made

by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing

Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company

with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s

or the Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of

this Section 4.8 and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within

ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any

Lender or the Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 4.8 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the

Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 4.8 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such

Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise

to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such

increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

4.9 Taxes.

(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 4.9, the term

“Lender” includes any Issuing Lender and any Swingline Loan Lender and the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. All payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any

Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or

withholding of any Tax with respect to any such payment by any applicable withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to

the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all such deductions or withholdings have been made

(including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.9) the applicable Lender (or, in the case of payments made to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the

Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

Official Body in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each

Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 4.9) payable

or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or

asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a

Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable

after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to an Official Body pursuant to this Section 4.9, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Official

Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with

respect to any payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed

documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any 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.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(1) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent

on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(2) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the

Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two of

whichever of the following is applicable:

(I) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the

benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN if

applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to such tax treaty;

(II) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(III) in the case of a Foreign 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 E-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the

meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described

in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and that no payments under any Loan Document are effectively connected with such Foreign Lender’s conduct of a United States trade or business (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”)

and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN if applicable); or

(IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where such Foreign

Lender is a partnership or a Lender that sells a participation), executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN if applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 or Exhibit E-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable;

provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax

Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-4 on behalf of such direct and indirect partner(s);

(3) each Foreign Lender shall, to the extent

it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and

from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other documentation prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal

withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(4) 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 and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by

Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under

FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (4), “FATCA” shall

include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any documentation it

previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly update such documentation or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.9(f), no Lender shall be required to

delivery any documentation pursuant to this Section 4.9(f) that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver any documentation provided by such Lender to the

Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 4.9(f) to the Borrower and any successor Administrative Agent.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good

faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.9 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.9), it

shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 4.9 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Official Body with respect to such

refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party incurred in connection with obtaining such refund, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 4.9(g)

(plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Official Body) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Official Body. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this

Section 4.9(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 4.9(g) the payment of which would place the

indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving

rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 4.9(g) shall not be construed to

require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.9 shall

survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations.

4.10 Indemnity. In addition to the compensation or payments required by Section 4.8

[Increased Cost] or Section 4.9 [Taxes], the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against all liabilities, losses or expenses (including loss of anticipated profits, any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense

arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain any Loan, from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract) which such Lender

sustains or incurs as a consequence of any:

(a) payment, prepayment, conversion or renewal of any Loan to

which a Term SOFR Rate Option applies on a day other than the last day of the corresponding Interest Period (whether or not any such payment or prepayment is mandatory, voluntary or automatic and whether or not any such payment or prepayment is then

due); or

(b) attempt by the Borrower to revoke (expressly, by later inconsistent notices or otherwise) in

whole or part any Loan Requests under Section 2.5 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Conversions and Renewals; Swingline Loan Requests] or notice relating to prepayments under Section 4.2

[Voluntary Prepayments] or failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Loan under the Base Rate Option on the date or in the amount

notified by the Borrower, or

than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.13 [Replacement of a Lender].

If any Lender sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall from time to time notify the Borrower of the amount

determined in good faith by such Lender (which determination may include such assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution methods as such Lender shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Lender for such

loss or expense. Such notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrower to such Lender ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.

4.11 Settlement Date Procedures. In order to minimize the transfer of funds between the Lenders and the

Administrative Agent, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans and the Swingline Loan Lender may make Swingline Loans as provided in Section 2.1(b) [Swingline Loan Sublimit] hereof during the period

between Settlement Dates. The Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of its Ratable Share of the total of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Swingline Loans (each, a “Required Share”). On such Settlement Date, each Lender

shall pay to the Administrative Agent the amount equal to the difference between its Required Share and its Revolving Credit Loans, and the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender its Ratable Share of all payments made by the Borrower to the

Administrative Agent with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans. The Administrative Agent shall also effect settlement in accordance with the foregoing sentence on the

proposed Borrowing Dates for Revolving Credit Loans and on any mandatory prepayment date as provided for herein and may at its option effect settlement on any other Business Day. These settlement

procedures are established solely as a matter of administrative convenience, and nothing contained in this Section 4.11 shall relieve the Lenders of their obligations to fund Revolving Credit Loans on dates other than a

Settlement Date pursuant to Section 2.1(b) [Swingline Loan Sublimit]. The Administrative Agent may at any time at its option for any reason whatsoever require each Lender to pay immediately to the Administrative Agent such

Lender’s Ratable Share of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and each Lender may at any time require the Administrative Agent to pay immediately to such Lender its Ratable Share of all payments made by the Borrower to the Administrative

Agent with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans.

4.12 Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall

exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lender’s

Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.9(a)(iv) [Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure] and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting

Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

(a) Grant of Security Interest.

The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest (subject to

Permitted Liens) in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (b) below. If at any time the

Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the

Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any

Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(b) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the

contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 4.12 or Section 2.9 [Defaulting Lenders] in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of

the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was

so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

any Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 4.12 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the

termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to

Section 2.9 [Defaulting Lenders] the Person providing Cash Collateral and such Issuing Lender may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and

provided, further, that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to Section 4.12(a) above.

4.13 Replacement of a Lender. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.8

[Increased Costs], or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.9

[Taxes] and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 4.14 [Designation of a Different

Lending Office], or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require

such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.8 [Successors and Assigns]), all of its interests, rights (other

than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 4.8 [Increased Cost] or Section 4.9 [Taxes]) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee

that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in

Section 11.8 [Successors and Assigns];

(b) such Lender shall have received

payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Borrowings, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents

(including any amounts under Section 4.10 [Indemnity]) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

Section 4.8 [Increased Costs] or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.9 [Taxes], such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law; and

(e) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a

Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such

Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

4.14 Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under

Section 4.8 [Increased Costs], or the Borrower is or will be required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to

Section 4.9 [Taxes], then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations

hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.8 [Increased Costs] or

Section 4.9 [Taxes], 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 Borrower hereby agrees

to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

of the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023 (all such annual and interim statements being collectively referred to as the “Statements”). The Statements fairly represent the

thereby, subject (in the case of the interim statements) to normal year-end audit adjustments utilized on a consistent basis, and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the

period covered thereby, subject (in the case of the interim statements) to normal year-end audit adjustments utilized on a consistent basis.

(b) Financial Projections. The Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent a summary of

projected financial statements (including, without limitation, statements of operations and cash flow together with a detailed explanation of the assumptions used in preparing such projected financial statements) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries

promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). No part of the proceeds of any Loan has been or will be used, immediately, incidentally or ultimately, to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the

purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock or which is inconsistent with the provisions of the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. None of the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party holds or intends

to hold margin stock in such amounts that more than 25% of the reasonable value of the assets of any Loan Party or Subsidiary of any Loan Party are or will be represented by margin stock.

(ii) all financial projections concerning the Borrower that have been or will be prepared by the Borrower or any of its affiliates or representatives and made available to any Lender have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon

reasonable assumptions at the time of delivery thereof (it being understood that such information is subject to significant contingencies, and no assurance can be given that the projections will be realized and that actual results may differ from

projected results and that such differences may be material).

and other tax returns required to have been filed with respect to each Loan Party and each Subsidiary of each Loan Party have been filed, and all Taxes which have been payable by any Loan Party of any Subsidiary of a Loan Party (including in its

Party owns or possesses all the material patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses, registrations, franchises, permits and rights reasonably necessary to own and operate its properties and to carry on its business as

presently conducted and planned to be conducted by such Loan Party or Subsidiary, without known possible, alleged or actual conflict with the rights of others, in each case other than where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to

constitute a Material Adverse Effect.

in connection with the perfection of such Liens have been or will be paid by the Borrower.

5.14 ERISA Compliance.

(a) Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Plan is in compliance

with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other federal or state Laws. Each Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received from the IRS a favorable determination or opinion letter, which has not by

its terms expired, that such Plan is so qualified, or such Plan is entitled to rely on an IRS advisory or opinion letter with respect to an IRS-approved master and prototype or volume submitter plan, or a

timely application for such a determination or opinion letter is currently being processed by the IRS with respect thereto; and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification.

has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur and (ii) neither the Borrower nor any member of the ERISA Group has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Pension Plan (other than

aggregate, shall equal the total amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments), issued, coinsured and reinsured by title insurers acceptable to the Administrative Agent, insuring the Mortgages to be valid first and subsisting Liens on the Insured

Property described therein, free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens, and providing for such other affirmative insurance and such coinsurance and direct access reinsurance as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable;

existing and in good standing, corporate power, due authorization, execution and delivery, no conflicts and no consents of such Loan Parties in the granting of the Mortgages, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent,

applicable Loan Party’s leasehold interest at such Mortgaged Property) executed by each of the lessors of such leased real properties which the Administrative Agent (after consultation with Borrower) determines are material, along with

(1) a memorandum of lease in recordable form with respect to such leasehold interest, executed and acknowledged by the owner of the affected real property, as lessor, or (2) evidence that the applicable lease with respect to such leasehold

interest or a memorandum thereof has been recorded in all places necessary or desirable, in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment, to give constructive notice to third-party purchasers of such leasehold interest, or (3) if such

leasehold interest was acquired or subleased from the holder of a recorded leasehold interest, the applicable assignment or sublease document, executed and acknowledged by such holder, in each case in form sufficient to give such constructive notice

upon recordation and otherwise in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Borrower shall fail to obtain the estoppel and consent

agreement or accompanying documents with respect to any such real property lease within the specified time period, after using commercially reasonable efforts to do so, the Borrower shall have no further obligation to execute and deliver to the

Section 7.8(a) or Section 7.8(b), as applicable, until the consummation of such Permitted Acquisition (at which time, the surviving entity of the respective merger transaction shall be required to so

comply with Section 7.8(a) or Section 7.8(b)), as applicable.

(e) Exclusions. The provisions of this Section 7.9 shall not apply to assets as

to which the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall reasonably determine that the costs and burdens of obtaining a security interest therein or perfection thereof outweigh the value of the security afforded thereby.

Domestic Subsidiary that would otherwise be a FSHCO absent this Section 7.9(f) and that directly owns Equity Interests in an Australian Subsidiary that is a CFC (each, a “Specified Subsidiary”) shall not be a FSHCO and,

therefore, shall be a Loan Party; provided, however, that if adverse tax consequences would result to any Loan Party from the pledge of more than sixty-five percent (65%) of the total outstanding voting Equity Interests of such

Australian Subsidiary as reasonably determined by the Borrower with the Administrative Agent in writing, then (i) such Specified Subsidiary shall be deemed to be a FSHCO and shall cease to be a Loan Party, (ii) such Specified Subsidiary

shall be required to pledge all Equity Interests of each Foreign Subsidiary that it directly holds, other than any such Equity Interests that are Excluded Assets (including for the avoidance of doubt Equity Interests in excess of sixty-five percent

such documents and certificates to the Administrative Agent and take such other actions as required under Section 7.9(b) within forty-five (45) days from the date of such determination as if

Section 7.9(b) applied to such Specified Subsidiary and (iii) one-hundred percent (100%) of the Equity Interests of such Specified Subsidiary shall be an Excluded Asset.

Parties shall at all times, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, maintain Mortgage Policies on the Mortgaged Properties in an aggregate amount equal to the total amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments.

to, deliver to the Administrative Agent, with respect to each such Real Property (other than with respect to any Excluded Asset), as-extracted UCC-1 financing statements

in appropriate form for recording in the jurisdiction in which such Real Property is located.

understood and agreed that this guarantee is a guaranty of payment and not of collection), and (b) undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by any

obligations under this Section 7.11, or otherwise under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, voidable under applicable Law, including applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not

for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Loan Party under this Section 7.11 shall remain in full force and effect until the Facility Termination Date. Each Qualified ECP Loan Party intends that this

request of the Required Lenders shall, take any or all of the following actions:

terminated;

(ii) upon written notice to the Borrower, declare the unpaid principal amount

of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind,

all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower;

(iii) require the Borrower to,

and the Borrower shall thereupon, deposit in a non-interest-bearing account with the Administrative Agent, as Cash Collateral for its Obligations under the Loan Documents, an amount equal to the maximum amount

currently or at any time thereafter available to be drawn on all outstanding Letters of Credit, and the Borrower hereby pledges to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and grants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a security interest

special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such Issuing Lender or any such Affiliate or participant to or for the credit or the

account of any Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations of such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, such Issuing Lender, Affiliate or participant, irrespective of whether or

not such Lender, such Issuing Lender, Affiliate or participant shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to

a branch or office of such Lender or such Issuing Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness, provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of

setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.9 [Defaulting Lenders] and, pending such payment,

shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for

118

the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in

reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Lender and their respective Affiliates and participants under this

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 this Section 9.2 for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders and the other Secured Parties;

provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) 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, (ii) the Issuing Lenders or the Swingline Loan Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as a Issuing Lender or Swingline Loan Lender, as the case may be) hereunder

and under the other Loan Documents, (iii) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.2(b) [Set-Off] (subject to the terms of

Section 4.5 [Sharing of Payments by Lenders]), or (iv) 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

Insolvency 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 (A) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise

ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.2(c), and (B) in addition to the matters specified in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the preceding proviso and subject to

Section 4.5 [Sharing of Payments by Lenders], 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.

9.3 Application of Proceeds. From and after the date on which the Administrative Agent has taken any

action pursuant to Section 9.2 [Enforcement of Rights and Remedies] (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the Letter of Credit Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash

Collateralized as specified in the proviso to Section 9.2(a)) and until the Facility Termination Date, any and all proceeds received on account of the Obligations shall (subject to Sections 2.9 [Defaulting Lenders]

and 9.2(a)(iii) [Generally]) be applied as follows:

(a) First, to payment of that portion of

the Obligations constituting fees (other than Letter of Credit Fees), indemnities, expenses and other amounts, including attorney fees, payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, the Issuing Lenders in their capacity as such and

the Swingline Loan Lender in its capacity as such, ratably among the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and Swingline Loan Lender in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause First payable to them;

(b) Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other

amounts (other than principal, interest and Letter of Credit Fees) payable to the Lenders under the Loan Documents, including attorney fees, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second

payable to them;

119

Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit Fees and interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, ratably among the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause

Third payable to them;

(d) Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting

unpaid principal of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and payment obligations then owing under Secured Hedging Obligations and Cash Management Obligations, ratably among the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders, and the applicable Cash Management Banks

and the applicable Hedge Banks, in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them;

(e) Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lenders, to Cash Collateralize any

undrawn amounts under outstanding Letters of Credit (to the extent not otherwise cash collateralized pursuant to this Agreement); and

(f) Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the

Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

Amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant

to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as cash collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining

amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order specified above.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this

Section 9.3, no Secured Hedging Obligations of any Non-Qualifying Party shall be paid with amounts received from such Non-Qualifying Party

under its Guaranty Agreement (including sums received as a result of the exercise of remedies with respect to such Guaranty Agreement) or from the proceeds of such Non-Qualifying Party’s Collateral if

such Secured Hedging Obligations would constitute Excluded Hedging Obligations; provided that to the extent possible appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments and/or the proceeds of Collateral from other Loan Parties that

are Eligible Contract Participants with respect to such Secured Hedging Obligations to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise specified above in this Section 9.3.

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, Obligations arising under Secured Hedging Obligations shall be excluded from the application

described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case

may be. Each Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank not a party to the Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative

Agent pursuant to the terms of Article 10 hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

ARTICLE 10

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

10.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints

PNC Bank, National Association to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to

the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

120

Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Lenders and Issuing Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and the Issuing

Lenders for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. The

provisions of this Article 10 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such

provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other

implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

10.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person 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 Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial

advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account

therefor to the Lenders.

10.3 Exculpatory Provisions.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly specified herein

and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of

whether a Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any

discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or

percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may

expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a

forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(iii) shall not, except as expressly specified herein and in the other Loan

Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any

of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or

not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be

121

necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.1 [Modifications; Amendments or Waivers] and 9.2 [Consequences of Event of Default]), or

(ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Potential

Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Potential Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Lender.

(i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection

herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions specified herein or therein or the occurrence of any Potential Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity,

enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents or the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, any other Loan Document

or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article 6 [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of Letters of Credit] or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm

receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

10.4 Reliance by

Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any

electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement

made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance,

extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing

Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal

counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), 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.

10.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise

its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article 10 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 Revolving Credit Facility as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a

court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

10.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders

and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the

122

Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower (so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor. If no such

successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the

Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting

the qualifications specified above; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such

notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting

Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation

with the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the

“Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders

or the Issuing Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any

indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing

Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed

to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or

removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its

predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article 10 and

Section 11.3 [Expense; Indemnity; Damage Waiver] shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related

Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

10.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each

Lender and each Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate,

made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related

Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other

123

Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth

the terms of a commercial lending facility and certain other facilities as set forth herein and (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans, issuing or participating in letters of credit or providing other similar

facilities in the ordinary course and is entering into this Agreement as a Lender or an Issuing Lender for the purpose of making, acquiring or holding commercial loans, issuing or participating in letters of credit and providing other facilities as

set forth herein and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument, and each Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing. Each Lender and each Issuing

Lender represents and warrants that it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire or hold commercial loans, issue or participate in letters of credit and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such

Lender or such Issuing Lender, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire or hold such commercial loans, issue or participate in letters of credit or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in

making, acquiring or holding commercial loans, issuing or participating in letters of credit or providing such other facilities.

10.8 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the bookrunners,

arrangers or other titles as necessary listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a

Lender or an Issuing Lender hereunder.

10.9 Administrative Agent’s Fee. The

Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent a nonrefundable fee (the “Administrative Agent’s Fee”) under the terms of a letter, dated as of November 20, 2023 (the “Administrative

Agent’s Letter”) between the Borrower and Administrative Agent, as amended from time to time.

10.10 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor

Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or

otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in

respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the

Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the

Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.8(b) [Letter of Credit Fees] and 11.3 [Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver]) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to

distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such

judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each Issuing Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders

and the Issuing Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the

124

Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 11.3 [Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver].

10.11 Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

(a) Each of the Secured Parties irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its

discretion,

(i) to subordinate or release any Lien on any property granted to

or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (x) upon the Facility Termination Date, (y) that is sold, otherwise Disposed of or transferred or to be sold, otherwise Disposed of or transferred as part of or in connection with

any sale, other Disposition or transaction permitted under the Loan Documents (to a Person that is not a Loan Party), or (z) subject to Section 11.1 [Modifications; Amendment or Waivers], if approved, authorized or

ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or in the case Section 11.1(c) or 11.1(e) is applicable, all Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders)); and

(ii) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement if

such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary or otherwise ceases to be required to provide a Guaranty hereunder (except, for the avoidance of doubt, as otherwise set forth in the definition of “Excluded Subsidiary”), in each case, as a result

of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required

Lenders (or, in the case of the parenthetical to clause (a)(z) above, all Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders)) will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items

of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.11.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any

representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection

therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

10.12 No Reliance on Administrative Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each

Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer

identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP

Regulations”), or any other any Anti-Corruption Law, any Anti-Money Laundering Law or any International Trade Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Loan Parties, their

Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices

or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Laws.

10.13 Secured

Hedging Obligations and Cash Management Obligations. Except as otherwise expressly specified herein, no Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 9.3 [Application of Proceeds], the Guaranty

Agreement or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of the Guaranty Agreement or any Loan Document shall have any right to notice of

125

any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any

Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 10 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be

required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Hedging Obligations or Cash Management Obligations unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations,

together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.

10.14 Certain ERISA Matters.

(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to,

and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates and not,

for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of

Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement,

(ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions

involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a

class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house

asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement,

(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified

Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate

in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement

satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection

(a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and

this Agreement, or

(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as

may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in

accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and

(y) covenants, from the date such Person

126

became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates and

not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that none of the Administrative Agent or the Lead Arrangers or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such

Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights

by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

10.15 Erroneous Payments.(a) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, an Issuing Lender or Secured

Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, an Issuing Lender or Secured Party (any such Lender, Issuing Lender, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) in writing that the Administrative

Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were

erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuing Lender, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as

a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous

Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender, Issuing Lender or Secured Party shall (or,

with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such

Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof)

was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking

industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, Issuing Lender or Secured Party, or any

Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Lender or Secured Party, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest,

fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the

Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its

Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, Issuing Lender or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

(i) (A) in the case of immediately preceding clause (x) or clause (y), an

error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment,

prepayment or repayment; and

127

(ii) such Lender, Issuing Lender

or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such

payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.15(b).

apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, Issuing Lender or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender, Issuing Lender or Secured Party from any source,

against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for

any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender or Issuing Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who

received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender or Issuing Lender at

any time, (i) such Lender or Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted

Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the

“Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to

execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or Issuing Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,

(ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender or

Issuing Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender or assigning Issuing Lender shall cease to be a Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such

Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender or assigning

Issuing Lender and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired

pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender or Issuing Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such

Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender or Issuing Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt,

no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender or Issuing Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to

the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent

shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender, Issuing

128

Lender or Secured Party under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).

(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise

satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the

Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an

Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent

for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 10.15

shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

10.16 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from

any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly

withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative

Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective), such Lender shall, within 10 days after written demand therefor, indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (to the extent

that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by any Loan Party pursuant to Section 4.9 and without limiting or expanding the obligation of any Loan party to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or

indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Taxes or otherwise, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses,

whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent

manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or from any other source against any amount due the

Administrative Agent under this Section 10.16. The agreements in this Section 10.16 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the

replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, the term Lender for purposes of this Section 10.16 shall include any Issuing Lender and any

Swingline Loan Lender.

amending or changing any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the rights of the Lenders or the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder, or may

129

grant written waivers or consents hereunder or thereunder. Any such agreement, waiver or consent made with such written consent shall be effective to bind all the Lenders and the Loan Parties;

provided, that no such agreement, waiver or consent may be made which will:

(a) Increase of

Commitment. Increase the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender hereunder without the consent of such Lender; provided, no amendment, modification or waiver of any condition precedent, covenant, default or Event of

Default shall, in and of itself, constitute an increase in any Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender;

(b) Extension of Payment; Reduction of Principal, Interest or Fees; Modification of Terms of Payment.

Whether or not any Loans are outstanding, amend the definition of the term Expiration Date (or any defined term used in such definition, to the extent of such usage in such definition) in a manner that would make such date later or become later upon

payable to any Lender, or reduce the principal amount of or the stated rate of interest borne by any Loan (other than as a result of delaying or waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the stated rate of

the Commitment Fee or any other fee payable to any Lender, without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants specified in Sections

8.12, 8.13 and 8.14 shall not constitute a reduction in the stated rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (b);

Section 8.5 [Liquidations, Mergers, Consolidations] or Section 8.6 [Dispositions of Assets or Subsidiaries], in each case as in effect on the Closing Date, release all or substantially all of the

percentage specified in the definition of “Required Lenders”, in each case without the consent of all of the Lenders; or

(e) Subordination. Effectuate the subordination of (A) any Liens securing any of the Obligations on

any Collateral to Liens on such Collateral securing any other Indebtedness or other obligations or (y) any Obligations in contractual right of payment to any other Indebtedness or other obligations, in each case without the consent of all

Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders);

provided that (i) no agreement, waiver or consent which would modify the interests,

rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender, or the Swingline Loan Lender may be made without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or the Swingline Loan Lender, as applicable, and

(ii) the Administrative Agent’s Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto, and provided, further that, if in connection with any proposed waiver,

amendment or modification referred to in Sections 11.1(a) through (e) above, there is a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower shall have the right to replace any such Non-Consenting Lender with one or more replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 4.13 [Replacement of a Lender]. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall

have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which

130

by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the

Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any

Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended to extend the Expiration Date with

respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments of Lenders that agree to such extension with respect to their Revolving Credit Commitments with the written consent of each such approving Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (and no other

Lender) and, in connection therewith, to provide for different rates of interest and fees with respect to the portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments with an Expiration Date so extended.

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) with the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent may amend,

modify or supplement any Loan Document without the consent of any Lender or the Required Lenders in order to correct or cure any ambiguity, inconsistency or defect or correct any typographical or ministerial error in any Loan Document

(provided, that any such amendment, modification or supplement shall not be materially adverse to the interests of the Lenders taken as a whole), (b) without the consent of any Lender, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent may (in

their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any (x) amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting,

perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security

interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable law or this Agreement and (c) without the consent of any Lender or the Borrower, within a reasonable time after

(i) the effective date of any increase or addition to, extension of or decrease from, the Revolving Credit Commitments, or (ii) any assignment by any Lender of some or all of its Revolving Credit Commitments, the Administrative Agent

shall, and is hereby authorized to, revise Schedule 1.1(A) and Schedule 1.1(B) to reflect such change, whereupon such revised Schedule 1.1(A) and Schedule 1.1(B), as the case may be, shall replace the old Schedule

1.1(A) and Schedule 1.1(B) and become part of this Agreement; provided, that the Administrative Agent will promptly provide the Borrower with a copy of any such updated schedules.

11.2 No Implied Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. No course of dealing and no delay or failure of the

Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any other or future exercise thereof or operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial

exercise thereof preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. The enumeration of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders specified in this Agreement is not intended to be

exhaustive and the exercise by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies, all of which shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to any other right or remedy

given hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or that may now or hereafter exist at law or in equity or by suit or otherwise. No reasonable delay or failure to take action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any

right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or

shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.

Credit.

(b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent

(and any sub-agent thereof), the Lead Arranger, each Lender and each Issuing Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”)

against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from (and shall reimburse each Indemnitee as the same are incurred), any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (limited, in the case of any fees and expenses of legal counsel, to

the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of a single outside legal counsel for all Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and if

reasonably necessary, a single outside local counsel for all Indemnitees, taken as a whole, in each relevant material jurisdiction, and solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional outside counsel to each group

Indemnitee and its Related Parties arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by

the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including

any refusal by any Issuing Lender to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged

presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or

prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any affiliate of any

such party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are

determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) arise solely from

a proceeding that does not involve or arise from an act or omission by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnitee against any other Indemnitee (other than, in the case of this clause (y), any claims

against the Administrative Agent (or sub-agent thereof) or any Lead Arranger, in each

132

indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s Ratable Share at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided that with respect to such unpaid amounts

owed to any Issuing Lender or the Swingline Loan Lender solely in its capacity as such, only the Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments shall be required to pay such unpaid amounts, such payment to be made severally among them based on such

Lenders’ Ratable Share of the Revolving Credit Facility (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) provided, further, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss,

claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), any Issuing Lender or the Swingline Loan Lender in its

capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), any Issuing Lender or the Swingline Loan Lender in connection with such

capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (b) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.2 [Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Revolving Credit Loans].

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, no party

hereto shall assert, and hereby waives, any claim against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual

damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of

the proceeds thereof; provided that this sentence in no way shall affect or reduce any indemnification obligation of the Borrower pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 11.3. No Indemnitee referred to in

Section 11.3(a) [Costs and Expenses] 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 such liability or damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by

final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section 11.3 shall be payable not

later than ten (10) days after demand therefor.

(f) Survival. Each party’s obligations

under this Section 11.3 shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and payment of the obligations hereunder.

not a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the next Business Day (except as otherwise set forth herein) and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees, except that the Loans shall be due on the Business Day

preceding the Expiration Date if the Expiration Date is not a Business Day. Whenever any payment or action to be made or taken hereunder (other than payment of the Loans) shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment

(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders

foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to Article 2 [Revolving Credit and Swingline Loan Facilities] if such Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is

incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to

procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended

make the Communications (as defined below) available to the Issuing Lenders and the other Lenders by posting the Communications on the Platform.

(ii) The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent

Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any

warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the

Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower or the other Loan Parties, any Lender or any other

Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s, any Loan

Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform, except to the extent any direct actual damages are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of

competent jurisdiction to arise from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of any Agent Party; provided that, in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability for any indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages,

losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise). “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to

through the Platform.

11.6 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be

severable. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without

in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.6, if and to the

extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or the Swingline Loan Lender, as

applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

11.7 Duration; Survival. All representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained herein or made

in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the completion of the transactions hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect until the Facility Termination Date. All covenants and agreements of the

Borrower contained herein

135

relating to the payment of principal, interest, premiums, additional compensation or expenses and indemnification, including those specified in the Notes, Section 4

[Payments] and Section 11.3 [Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver], shall survive the Facility Termination Date. All other covenants and agreements of the Loan Parties shall continue in full force and effect from and

after the Closing Date and until the Facility Termination Date.

11.8 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure

to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder (including, in

each case, by way of an LLC Division) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in

accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section 11.8, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section 11.8, or

(iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (e) of this Section 11.8 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and

void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph

(d) of this Section 11.8 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of

this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more

assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following

conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(1) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s

Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds (determined after giving effect to such assignments) that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(2) of this Section in the

aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(2) in any case not described in clause (i)(1) of this Section 11.8,

the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such

assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as of the

Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of the assigning Lender, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default specified in Section 9.1(a), Section 9.1(j) or

Section 9.1(k) [Default] has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

136

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each

partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the

extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(2) of this Section 11.8 and, in addition:

(1) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall

be required unless (x) an Event of Default specified in Section 9.1(a), Section 9.1(j) or Section 9.1(k) [Default] has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or

(y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative

Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(2) the

consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments; and

(3) the consent of the applicable Issuing Lender and the Swingline Loan Lender (such consent

not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption Agreement. The parties to each assignment shall execute

and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to

the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender or a Subsidiary

thereof.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to

a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and

obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto specified herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the

Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with

the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to

(x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender, the Swingline Loan Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and

(y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Ratable Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of

rights and obligations of any

137

Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a

Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(viii) Effectiveness; Release. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof

by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by

such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, be released

from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement 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 3.4 [Rate Unascertainable; Etc.], 4.8 [Increased Costs], and 11.3 [Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver] with respect to facts and circumstances

occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any

party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this

Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section 11.8.

(ix) Each assignment of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class by any

Revolving Lender pursuant to this Section 11.8 shall automatically constitute and be deemed an assignment of its Issuing Lender L/C Sublimit to the assignee with respect to such Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class. If an Issuing Lender

(or its Affiliate that is the Revolving Lender) assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitments, such Issuing Lender shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuing Lender with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it

that remain outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing Lender and all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Participation Advances pursuant to

Section 2.8(c) [Disbursements, Reimbursement], but shall not have any obligation to renew, extend, amend or increase any such Letter of Credit or issue any other Letter of Credit.

maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of

the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders

shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the

Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the

Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or the Borrower or any of the

Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement

138

(including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,

(ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and

directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 11.3 [Expenses;

Indemnity; Damage Waiver] with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

Any agreement or

instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement;

provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree (other than as is already provided for herein) to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to

Sections 11.1(a) [Increase of Commitment], 11.1(b) [Extension of Payment, Etc.], or 11.1(c) [Release of Collateral or Guarantor] that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be

entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.4 [Rate Unascertainable, Etc.], 4.8 [Increased Costs], 4.9 [Taxes] and 4.10 [Indemnity] (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under

Section 4.9(f) [Status of Lenders] (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.9(f) [Status of Lenders] shall be delivered solely to the participating Lender)) to the same

extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.13

[Replacement of a Lender] as if it were an assignee under to paragraph (b) of this Section 11.8; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.8 [Increased Costs] or

4.9 [Taxes], with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the

Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of

Section 4.13 [Replacement of a Lender] with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.2(b) [Set-off] as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant shall be subject to Section 4.5 [Sharing of Payments by Lenders] as though it were a Lender.

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the

principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to

disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan

Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c)

of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such

participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant

(e) Certain Pledges; Successors and Assigns Generally. Any Lender may at any time pledge

or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or

assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

139

(f) Cashless Settlement. Notwithstanding anything to

the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement,

pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender.

(g) Arrangers/Bookrunners. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the name

of any arranger and/or bookrunner listed on the cover page of this Agreement may be changed by the Administrative Agent to the name of any Lender or Lender’s broker-dealer Affiliate, upon written request to the Administrative Agent by any such

arranger and/or bookrunner and the applicable Lender or Lender’s broker-deal Affiliate.

11.9 Confidentiality.

(a) General. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders agree to maintain the

confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the

confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties

(including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process or for purposes of establishing a

“due diligence” defense; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan

acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with

the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported

QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the Laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC

Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the Laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a

proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default

143

Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no

greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the Laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the

foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

Section 8.1(v), as the case may be, and the Liens securing such Junior Secured Debt, Indebtedness pursuant to Section 8.1(u) or Section 8.1(v), as the case may be, are

permitted by this Agreement.

11.17 No Fiduciary Duty. . Each of the Lenders and their Affiliates 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

144

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.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Peabody Announces New Surety Arrangements in the U.S. and Australia

ST. LOUIS, June 15, 2026 — Peabody (NYSE: BTU) today announced that it has terminated the 2020 Transaction Support Agreement (as

amended) with its surety providers and entered standard indemnification agreements to support its U.S. reclamation obligations. The company also has established asset-backed surety facilities to support its Australian reclamation obligations,

replacing cash-backed bank guarantees and cash deposited directly with regulatory authorities.

Combined, these transactions are expected to reduce total

reclamation collateral requirements and eliminate a minimum liquidity covenant, while maintaining an industry leading and well-collateralized global bonding program.

“These changes, along with the successful recent refinancing of the company’s 2028 convertible notes, continue to enhance Peabody’s

financial strength and flexibility,” said Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Mark Spurbeck. “The additional liquidity afforded by the new surety arrangements allows the company to continue its multi-pronged strategy of

balance sheet strength, disciplined capital allocation, and shareholder returns.”

Peabody is a leading global coal producer, providing essential

products for the production of affordable, reliable energy and steel. For further information, visit www.peabodyenergy.com/.
