Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 19, 2026, HawkEye 360, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a new revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto as guarantors, the lenders party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and L/C Issuer. The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $125.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility matures on May 19, 2031.

Any loans under the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) Term SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.25% to 3.00% per annum or (b) an alternative base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.00% per annum, in each case determined by reference to the Company’s Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). A commitment fee ranging from 0.250% to 0.500% per annum, determined by reference to the Company’s Total Net Leverage Ratio, shall apply on the unused commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by each of the Company’s existing and future direct and indirect material domestic subsidiaries and secured by first-priority liens on substantially all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ personal property assets and certain equity interests, in each case, subject to customary exceptions.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on the Company’s ability and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries’ abilities to: (i) create liens; (ii) incur additional indebtedness (including guarantees and other contingent obligations); (iii) make certain investments, loans and advances (including acquisitions); (iv) effect fundamental changes, including mergers and consolidations; (v) make dispositions of assets; and (vi) pay dividends or make distributions or other restricted payments, in each case, subject to certain qualifications and exceptions.

In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility requires the Company to comply with the following financial covenants, each tested quarterly on a trailing four fiscal quarter basis:

•Maintenance of a maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) not to exceed 3.50:1.00, stepping down to 3.00:1.00 after six full fiscal quarters following the closing date of the Revolving Credit Facility. The maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio may be increased by 0.50x for specified periods following certain material acquisitions, subject to limitations.

•Maintenance of a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than 3.00:1.00.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including: (i) failure to pay principal, interest, fees or other amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility when due, taking into account any applicable grace period; (ii) any representation or warranty proving to have been incorrect in any material respect when made; (iii) failure to perform or observe covenants or other terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to certain grace periods; (iv) a cross-default with respect to other material indebtedness; (v) bankruptcy and insolvency events; (vi) inability to pay debts or attachment; (vii) material judgments; (viii) certain ERISA events; (ix) the invalidity or impairment of any loan document or any security interest; (x) a change of control; (xi) debarment; and (xii) actions with respect to material government contracts that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect.

The Company has previously entered into commercial financial arrangements with certain of the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility, and each of these entities and/or their affiliates has in the past provided financial, advisory, investment banking and other services to the Company and its affiliates, including serving as underwriters for Company’s initial public offering of its common stock.

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 18, 2026, the Company repaid in full all outstanding borrowings under the Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Senior Term Loan”) and the Mezzanine Loan and Security Agreement with First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company, as agent (the “Mezzanine Loan”). Upon such repayment, all commitments under each of the Senior Term Loan and the Mezzanine Loan were terminated and all security interests securing the obligations thereunder were released.

any other Loan Document), (ii) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such

Person’s successors and assigns, (iii) the words “hereto,” “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder,” and words

in any action or transaction, (i) compliance with or satisfaction of any applicable financial ratios or tests

for such action or transaction (or any portion thereof) to be consummated under any incurrence-based

baskets shall first be calculated without giving effect to amounts being utilized pursuant to any fixed

baskets, but giving full Pro Forma Effect to all applicable and related transactions (including, subject to

the foregoing with respect to fixed baskets, any incurrence and repayments of Indebtedness) and all other

permitted pro forma adjustments, and (ii) thereafter, incurrence of the portion of such action or

transaction to be consummated under any fixed baskets shall be calculated. If at any time any action or

transaction meets the criteria of one or more than one of the categories of exceptions, thresholds or

baskets set forth in any Section or clause of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any definition

used therein, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may divide, classify and/or designate such action or

transaction (or any portion thereof) as consummated in reliance on one or more of such exceptions,

thresholds or baskets as the Borrower or such Subsidiary may determine in its sole discretion at the time

classify and/or re-designate such action or transaction (or any portion thereof).

1.03Accounting Terms.

(a)Generally. All accounting terms not specifically or completely defined herein shall be

construed in conformity with, and all financial data (including financial ratios and other financial

calculations) required to be submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in conformity with,

GAAP applied on a consistent basis, as in effect from time to time, applied in a manner consistent with

that used in preparing the Audited Financial Statements, except as otherwise specifically prescribed

herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with any covenant

(including the computation of any financial covenant) contained herein, (i) Indebtedness of the Borrower

and its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be carried at one-hundred percent (100.0%) of the outstanding

principal amount thereof, and the effects of FASB ASC 825 and FASB ASC 470–20 on financial

liabilities shall be disregarded, (ii) all liability amounts shall be determined excluding any liability relating

to any operating lease, all asset amounts shall be determined excluding any right-of-use assets relating to

any operating lease, all amortization amounts shall be determined excluding any amortization of a right-

of-use asset relating to any operating lease, and all interest amounts shall be determined excluding any

deemed interest comprising a portion of fixed rent payable under any operating lease, in each case, to the

extent that such liability, asset, amortization or interest pertains to an operating lease under which the

covenantor or a member of its Consolidated group is the lessee and would not have been accounted for as

such under GAAP as in effect on December 31, 2015, and (iii) all terms of an accounting or financial

nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall

be made, without giving effect to any election under FASB ASC Topic 825 “Financial Instruments” (or

any other financial accounting standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness of the

Borrower or any Subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein.

(b)Changes in GAAP. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of

any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either the Borrower or the

Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall

negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light

of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided, that, until so

amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to

such change therein and (ii) the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders

financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested

hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and

after giving effect to such change in GAAP. Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything

to the contrary set forth herein, all obligations of any Person that are or would have been treated as

operating leases for purposes of GAAP prior to the effectiveness of Accounting Standards Codification

842 shall continue to be accounted for as operating leases hereunder or under any other Loan Documents

(whether or not such operating lease obligations were in effect on such date) notwithstanding the fact that

such obligations are required in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 842 (on a

prospective or retroactive basis or otherwise) to be treated as capital leases.

14792722v7

(c)Pro Forma Treatment. Each Disposition of all or substantially all of a line of business,

incurrence of Indebtedness, Acquisition, Restricted Payment, payment made with respect to other

Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any consolidation, merger or other

fundamental change, in each case made by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, that is consummated

during any Measurement Period and/or subsequent to the end of such Measurement Period, shall, for

purposes of (i) determining compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.11 and (ii) any

other transaction, determining the calculation of a financial metric on a Pro Forma Basis, be given Pro

Forma Effect as of the first day of such Measurement Period; provided, that notwithstanding the

foregoing, for the purposes of determining (x) the Applicable Rate and (y) actual compliance (and not

compliance on a Pro Forma Basis) with the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.11, any transaction

that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Measurement Period shall not be given Pro Forma

Effect.

1.04Rounding.

Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement shall

be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one

place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up

or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).

1.05Times of Day.

Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern

time (daylight or standard, as applicable).

1.06Letter of Credit Amounts.

Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to

be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that, with respect

to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for

one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be

deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases,

whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

1.07UCC Terms.

Terms defined in the UCC in effect on the Closing Date and not otherwise defined herein shall,

unless the context otherwise indicates, have the meanings provided by those definitions. Subject to the

foregoing, the term “UCC” refers, as of any date of determination, to the UCC then in effect.

1.08Calculation of Baskets.

If any of the baskets set forth in Article VI of this Agreement are exceeded solely as a result of

fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA for the most recently completed Measurement Period after the last

time such baskets were calculated for any purpose under this Agreement or any other Loan Document,

such baskets will not be deemed to have been exceeded solely as a result of such fluctuations.

1.09Rates.

The Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall the

Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter

related to any reference rate referred to herein or with respect to any rate (including, for the avoidance of

doubt, the selection of such rate and any related spread or other adjustment) that is an alternative or

14792722v7

replacement for or successor to any such rates (including, without limitation, any Successor Rate) (or any

component of any of the foregoing) or the effect of any of the foregoing, or of any Conforming Changes.

The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions or other

activities that affect any reference rate referred to herein, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate

(including, without limitation, any Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing) or any

related spread or other adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The

Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain

any reference rate referred to herein or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including, without

limitation, any Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing), in each case pursuant to the

terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or

entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential

damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity),

for any error or other action or omission related to or affecting the selection, determination, or calculation

of any rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

1.10Limited Condition Acquisitions and Financial Covenants.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in

connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, the Borrower may, at its election (an “LCA

Election”), designate the date of execution and delivery of the definitive purchase agreement for such

Limited Condition Acquisition as the date of determination (the “LCA Test Date”) for purposes of: (a)

calculating any applicable ratio or financial test or the availability of any basket (including any

incurrence-based basket) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) determining the

accuracy of any representation or warranty (other than Specified Representations) set forth in Article V or

any other Loan Document; and (c) determining the satisfaction of any condition precedent set forth in

Section 4.02 or elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than the condition that

no Specified Default has occurred and is continuing); in each case, in connection with such Limited

Condition Acquisition and any related transactions (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use

of proceeds thereof). If the Borrower makes an LCA Election with respect to any Limited Condition

Acquisition, then (i) if, on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition

and any related transactions, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in

compliance with the applicable ratios, tests, baskets, representations, warranties and conditions, such

provisions shall be deemed to have been complied with, (ii) such ratios, tests, baskets, representations,

warranties and conditions shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition

Acquisition (other than Specified Representations and the condition that no Specified Default shall have

occurred and be continuing on the date of consummation), and (iii) if any such ratio, test or basket is

exceeded, or any such representation, warranty or condition is not satisfied, solely as a result of

fluctuations occurring between the LCA Test Date and the date of consummation of such Limited

Condition Acquisition, such ratio, test, basket, representation, warranty or condition shall not be deemed

to have been exceeded or unsatisfied solely as a result of such fluctuations for purposes of determining

whether such Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted hereunder. If the Borrower has made an LCA

Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of

any ratio or basket availability with respect to any other transaction on or following the relevant LCA

Test Date and prior to the earlier of (x) the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is

consummated and (y) the date on which the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition

is terminated or expires without consummation, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated and tested

both (A) assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and any related transactions have been

consummated (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) and (B)

assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and any related transactions have not been consummated.

14792722v7

Article II

COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS

2.01Loans.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make loans

(each such loan, a “Revolving Loan”) to the Borrower, in Dollars, from time to time, on any Business

Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the

amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Borrowing, (i)

the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and (ii) the

Revolving Exposure of any Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment. Within the limits of

each Lender’s Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may

borrow Revolving Loans, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.01. Revolving

Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans, as further provided herein; provided, however, that

any Borrowings made on the Closing Date or any of the three (3) Business Days following the Closing

Date shall be made as Base Rate Loans unless the Borrower delivers a funding indemnity letter not less

than three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such Borrowing.

2.02Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

(a)Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each

continuation of Term SOFR Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the

Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone or (B) a Loan Notice; provided that any

telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Loan

Notice. Each such Loan Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i)

two Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term

SOFR Loans or of any conversion of Term SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested

date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term

SOFR Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess

thereof. Except as provided in Section 2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate

Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if

less, the entire principal thereof then outstanding). Each Loan Notice shall specify (i) whether the

Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation

of Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which

shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv)

the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable,

the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in

a Loan Notice, then the applicable Loan shall be made as a Term SOFR Loan with an Interest Period of

one month. If the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation of a

Term SOFR Loan, then the applicable Loan shall be continued as a Term SOFR Loan with an Interest

Period of one month. Any such automatic continuation or conversion shall be effective as of the last day

of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Term SOFR Loans. If the Borrower

requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Term SOFR Loans in any such Loan Notice,

but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.

(b)Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each

applicable Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Loans, and if no timely

notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify

each applicable Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in

Section 2.02(a). In the case of a Borrowing, each applicable Lender shall make the amount of its Loan

available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office

not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of

the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension,

Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like

funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the

14792722v7

books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case

in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by

the Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date the Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing is

given by the Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first,

shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available

to the Borrower as provided above.

(c)Except as otherwise provided herein, a Term SOFR Loan may be continued or converted

only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Term SOFR Loan. During the existence of an Event of

Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Term SOFR Loans without the

consent of the Required Lenders.

(d)Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any

provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the

absence of manifest error.

(e)After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the

other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than five (5) Interest

Periods in effect with respect to Loans.

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange,

continue or rollover all or the 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)With respect to SOFR or Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right, in

consultation with the Borrower, 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, with respect to any such amendment

effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming

Changes to the Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

(h)This Section 2.02 shall not apply to Swingline Loans.

2.03Letters of Credit.

(a)The Letter of Credit Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, in

addition to the Loans provided for in Section 2.01, the Borrower may request that the L/C Issuer, in

reliance on the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, issue, at any time and from time

to time during the Availability Period, Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for its own account or the

account of the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries in such form as is acceptable to the L/C

Issuer in its reasonable determination. Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall constitute utilization of the

Commitments.

(b)Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Extension, Reinstatement or Renewal.

(i)To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment of the terms and

conditions, extension of the terms and conditions, extension of the expiration date, or

reinstatement of amounts paid, or renewal of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall

deliver (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been

approved by the L/C Issuer) to the L/C Issuer and to the Administrative Agent not later than

11:00 a.m. at least two (2) Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent

and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed

issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be, a notice requesting the issuance of a

Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, extended, reinstated or

renewed, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, extension, reinstatement or renewal

(which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall

14792722v7

comply with clause (d) below), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the

beneficiary thereof, the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit, and such other

information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, extend, reinstate or renew such Letter of

Credit. If requested by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower also shall submit a Letter of Credit

Application and reimbursement agreement on the L/C Issuer’s standard form in connection with

any request for a Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and

conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of Letter of Credit

Application and reimbursement agreement or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or

entered into by the Borrower with, the L/C Issuer relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and

conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(ii)If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application (or the

amendment of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, agree to

issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter

of Credit”) provided, that, any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit shall permit the L/C Issuer to

prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve (12) month period (commencing with the

date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later

than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve (12) month period to be agreed

upon by the Borrower and the L/C Issuer at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless

otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific

request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has

been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer

to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiration date not later than the

date permitted pursuant to clause (d) below; provided, that, the L/C Issuer shall not (A) permit

any such extension if the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have

no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its extended form under the terms

hereof (except that the expiration date may be extended to a date that is no more than one (1) year

from the then-current expiration date), or (B) it has received notice (which may be in writing or

by telephone (if promptly confirmed in writing)) on or before the day that is seven (7) Business

Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent that the Lenders

holding a majority of the Commitments have elected not to permit such extension or (C) be

obligated to permit such extension if it has received notice (which may be in writing or by

telephone (if promptly confirmed in writing)) on or before the day that is seven (7) Business Days

before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the

Borrower that one (1) or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 is not then

satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(iii)If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/

C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that permits the automatic

reinstatement of all or a portion of the stated amount thereof after any drawing thereunder (each,

an “Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit”). Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the

Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer to permit such

reinstatement. Once an Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit has been issued, except as provided

in the following sentence, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require)

the L/C Issuer to reinstate all or a portion of the stated amount thereof in accordance with the

provisions of such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Auto-Reinstatement

Letter of Credit permits the L/C Issuer to decline to reinstate all or any portion of the stated

amount thereof after a drawing thereunder by giving notice of such non-reinstatement within a

specified number of days after such drawing (the “Non-Reinstatement Deadline”), the L/C Issuer

shall not permit such reinstatement if it has received a notice (which may be by telephone or in

writing) on or before the day that is seven (7) Business Days before the Non-Reinstatement

Deadline (A) from the Administrative Agent that the Lenders holding a majority of the

Commitments have elected not to permit such reinstatement or (B) from the Administrative

Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one (1) or more of the applicable conditions specified in

Section 4.02 is not then satisfied (treating such reinstatement as an L/C Credit Extension for

purposes of this clause (b)(iii)) and, in each case, directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such

reinstatement.

14792722v7

(c)Limitations on Amounts, Issuance and Amendment. A Letter of Credit shall be issued,

amended, extended, reinstated or renewed only if (and, upon issuance, amendment, extension,

reinstatement or renewal of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant

that), after giving effect to each such issuance, amendment, extension, reinstatement or renewal, (w) the

aggregate amount of the outstanding Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer shall not exceed its L/C

Commitment, (x) the aggregate L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, (y) the

Revolving Exposure of any Lender shall not exceed its Commitment and (z) the Total Revolving

Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments.

(i)The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A)any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or

arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing the

Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer, or any request or directive

(whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with

jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer, shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from,

the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular, or shall

impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or

capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder)

not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed

loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C

Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

(B)the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies

of the L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;

(C)except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C

Issuer, the Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $50,000;

(D)any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the L/C Issuer has

entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the L/

C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the L/C

Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv))

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 L/C Obligations as to which

the L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole

discretion; or

(E)the Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement

of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder.

(ii)The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A)

the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended

form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit does not accept the

proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit.

(d)Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall have a stated expiration date no later than the

earlier of: (i) the date that is twelve (12) months after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or,

in the case of any extension of the expiration date thereof, whether automatic or by amendment, the date

that is twelve (12) months after the then-current expiration date of such Letter of Credit); and (ii) the date

that is twelve (12) months after the Maturity Date.

(e)Participations.

(i)By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit

increasing the amount or extending the expiration date thereof), and without any further action on

the part of the L/C Issuer or the Lenders, the L/C Issuer hereby grants to each Lender, and each

Lender hereby acquires from the L/C Issuer, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such

14792722v7

Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter

of Credit. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations

pursuant to this clause (e) in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute, unconditional and irrevocable

and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, extension,

reinstatement or renewal of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or

reduction or termination of the Commitments.

(ii)In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby

absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for

account of the L/C Issuer, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made

by the L/C Issuer not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the notice provided by

the Administrative Agent to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.03(f) until such L/C Disbursement

is reimbursed by the Borrower or at any time after any reimbursement payment is required to be

refunded to the Borrower for any reason, including after the Maturity Date. Such payment shall

be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each such payment

shall be made in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02 with respect to Loans made by

such Lender (and Section 2.02 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the

Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.03), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the L/

C Issuer the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the

Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.03(f), the

Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the L/C Issuer or, to the extent that the

Lenders have made payments pursuant to this clause (e) to reimburse the L/C Issuer, then to such

Lenders and the L/C Issuer as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender

pursuant to this clause (e) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any L/C Disbursement shall not

constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such L/C

Disbursement.

(iii)Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees that its participation in each Letter

of Credit will be automatically adjusted to reflect such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the

aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit at each time such Lender’s

Commitment is amended (including pursuant to the operation of Section 2.16), as a result of an

assignment in accordance with Section 11.06 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement.

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

of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing

provisions of this Section 2.03(e), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement,

the L/C Issuer 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 L/C Issuer at a rate

per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the L/C Issuer

in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative,

processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer 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 Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C

Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C

Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts

owing under this clause (e)(iv) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f)Reimbursement. If the L/C Issuer shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter

of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer in respect of such L/C Disbursement by paying to

the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than 12:00 p.m. (noon) on

(i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice of such L/C Disbursement, if such notice is

received prior to 10:00 a.m. on such Business Day, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the

day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time, provided,

that, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with

Section 2.02 or Section 2.04 that such payment be financed with a Borrowing of Loans that are Base Rate

Loans or a Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s

obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Borrowing. If the

14792722v7

Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the

applicable L/C Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof (the

“Unreimbursed Amount”) and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly upon receipt of

such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the

Unreimbursed Amount pursuant to Section 2.03(e)(ii), subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of

the aggregate Revolving Commitments. Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent

pursuant to this Section 2.03(f) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided

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

such notice.

(g)Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse L/C Disbursements as

provided in clause (f) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed

strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever, and

irrespective of:

(i)any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan

Document or any Letter of Credit, or any term or provision herein or therein;

(ii)the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the

Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of

such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may

be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the

transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument

relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii)any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of

Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement in

such draft or other document being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the

transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter

of Credit;

(iv)waiver by the L/C Issuer of any requirement that exists for the L/C Issuer’s

protection and not the protection of the Borrower, or any waiver by the L/C Issuer which does not

in fact materially prejudice the Borrower;

(v)honor of a demand for payment presented electronically, even if such Letter of

Credit required that demand be in the form of a draft;

(vi)any payment made by the L/C Issuer in respect of an otherwise complying item

presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must

be received under, such Letter of Credit, if presentation after such date is authorized by the UCC

or the ISP, as applicable;

(vii)payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft

or other document that does not comply strictly with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any

payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a

trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator,

receiver or other representative of, or successor to, any beneficiary or any transferee of such

Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief

Law; or

(viii)any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the

foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.03, constitute a legal or equitable

discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

(h)Examination. The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and

each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the

Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will promptly notify the L/C Issuer. The

14792722v7

Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its

correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(i)Liability. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the L/C Issuer, or any of their

Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of, or in connection with, the issuance

or transfer of any Letter of Credit by the L/C Issuer, or any payment or failure to make any payment

thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error,

omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other

communication under, or relating to, any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a

drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms, any error in translation, or any

consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the L/C Issuer; provided, that, the foregoing shall

not be construed to excuse the L/C Issuer from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct

damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the

Borrower to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the L/C

Issuer’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a

Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of

gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the L/C Issuer (as finally determined by a court of

competent jurisdiction), the L/C Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination,

and that:

(i)the L/C Issuer may replace a purportedly lost, stolen, or destroyed original Letter

of Credit or missing amendment thereto with a certified true copy marked as such or waive a

requirement for its presentation;

(ii)the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial

compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit without responsibility for further investigation,

regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and may make payment upon presentation

of documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of such

Letter of Credit and without regard to any non-documentary condition in such Letter of Credit;

(iii)the L/C Issuer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to accept such

documents and to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the

terms of such Letter of Credit; and

(iv)this sentence shall establish the standard of care to be exercised by the L/C Issuer

when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply

with the terms thereof (and the parties hereto hereby waive, to the extent permitted by Applicable

Law, any standard of care inconsistent with the foregoing).

Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the L/C Issuer, or

any of their Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of (A) any presentation that

includes forged or fraudulent documents or that is otherwise affected by the fraudulent, bad faith, or

illegal conduct of the beneficiary or other Person, (B) the L/C Issuer declining to take-up documents and

make payment, (1) against documents that are fraudulent, forged, or for other reasons by which that it is

entitled not to honor, or (2) following the Borrower’s waiver of discrepancies with respect to such

documents or request for honor of such documents, or (C) the L/C Issuer retaining proceeds of a Letter of

Credit based on an apparently applicable attachment order, blocking regulation, or third-party claim

notified to the L/C Issuer.

(j)Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the

Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued by the L/C Issuer, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each

Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible to the Borrower

for, and the L/C Issuer’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or

inaction of the L/C Issuer required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or

permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Law or any order of a

jurisdiction where the L/C Issuer or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or in the

14792722v7

decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the

Bankers Association for Finance and Trade – International Financial Services Association (BAFT–IFSA),

or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such

law or practice.

(k)Benefits. The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of

Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the

benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts

taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed

to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term

“Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or

omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

(l)Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account

of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit

Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate for Term SOFR Loans times the daily amount

available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) payable on the first

(1st) Business Day following the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with

the first (1st) such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, and (ii) accrued through, and

including, the last day of each calendar quarter in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate

during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed

and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable

Rate was in effect.

(m)Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to the L/C Issuer. The

Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter

of Credit, at the rate per annum equal to the amounts specified in the Fee Letter, computed on the daily

amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting

fee shall be due and payable no later than the tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June,

September and December in the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of

the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of

Credit, on the Maturity Date and thereafter (if applicable) on demand. In addition, the Borrower shall pay

directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other

processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from

time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable within

five (5) Business Days after written demand therefor (accompanied by a reasonably detailed invoice

therefor) and are non-refundable.

(n)Disbursement Procedures. The L/C Issuer for any Letter of Credit shall, within the time

allowed by Applicable Laws or the specific terms of the Letter of Credit following its receipt thereof,

examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. The L/

C Issuer shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in

writing of such demand for payment if the L/C Issuer has made, or will make, an L/C Disbursement

thereunder; provided, that, any failure to give, or delay in giving, such notice shall not relieve the

Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the L/C Issuer and the Lenders with respect to any such L/C

Disbursement.

(o)Interim Interest. If the L/C Issuer for any standby Letter of Credit shall make any L/C

Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on the date such

L/C Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from, and

including, the date such L/C Disbursement is made to, but excluding, the date that the Borrower

reimburses such L/C Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Loans; provided,

that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such L/C Disbursement when due pursuant to clause (f) of this

Section 2.03, then Section 2.08(b) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this subsection shall be for the

account of the L/C Issuer, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender

pursuant to Section 2.03(f) to reimburse the L/C Issuer shall be for account of such Lender to the extent of

such payment.

14792722v7

(p)Replacement of the L/C Issuer. The L/C Issuer may be replaced at any time by written

agreement between the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced L/C Issuer and the successor L/

C Issuer. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the L/C Issuer. At

the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for

the account of the replaced L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(m). From and after the effective date of

any such replacement, (i) the successor L/C Issuer shall have all the rights and obligations of an L/C

Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and

(ii) references herein to the term “L/C Issuer” shall be deemed to include such successor or any previous

L/C Issuer, or such successor and all previous L/C Issuer, as the context shall require. After the

replacement of the L/C Issuer hereunder, the replaced L/C Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall

continue to have all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement with respect to

Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional

Letters of Credit.

(q)Cash Collateralization.

(i)If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that

the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the

maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with L/C Obligations representing at least

66-2/3% of the total L/C Obligations) demanding the deposit of Cash Collateral pursuant to this

clause (q), the Borrower shall immediately deposit into a non-interest bearing account established

and maintained on the books and records of the Administrative Agent (the “Collateral Account”)

an amount in cash equal to one-hundred and two percent (102.0%) of the L/C Obligations as of

such date, provided, that, the obligation to deposit such Cash Collateral shall become effective

immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or

other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the

Borrower described in clause (e) of Section 8.01. Such deposit shall be held by the

Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the

Borrower under this Agreement. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing or clause (d)

above, if any L/C Obligations remain outstanding after the expiration date specified in said

clause (d), the Borrower shall immediately deposit into the Collateral Account an amount in cash

equal to one-hundred and two percent (102.0%) of such L/C Obligations as of such date.

(ii)The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including

the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the Collateral Account. Moneys in the Collateral Account

shall be maintained in cash and shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the L/C

Issuer for L/C Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, together with related

reasonable and documented fees, costs, and customary processing charges, and, to the extent not

so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for

the L/C Obligations at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject

to the consent of Lenders with L/C Obligations representing 66-2/3% of the total L/C

Obligations), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the

Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of the

occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be

returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been

cured or waived.

(r)Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or

outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, Borrower or a

Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse, indemnify and compensate the L/C Issuer

hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit as if such Letter of Credit had been issued

solely for the account of the Borrower. The Borrower irrevocably waives any and all defenses that might

otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of any or all of the obligations of the Borrower or

such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance

of Letters of Credit for the account of a Subsidiary inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the

Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiary.

14792722v7

(s)Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof

and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

2.04Swingline Loans.

(a)The Swingline. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline

Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, may in its sole

discretion make loans to the Borrower (each such loan, a “Swingline Loan”). Each such Swingline Loan

may be made, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to the Borrower, in Dollars, from time

to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any

time outstanding the amount of the Swingline Sublimit; provided, however, that (i) after giving effect to

any Swingline Loan, (A) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving

Commitments at such time, (B) the Revolving Exposure of any Lender at such time shall not exceed such

Lender’s Commitment and (C) the aggregate amount of all Swingline Loans outstanding shall not exceed

the Swingline Commitment of the Swingline Lender, (ii) the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any

Swingline Loan to refinance any outstanding Swingline Loan, and (iii) the Swingline Lender shall not be

under any obligation to make any Swingline Loan if it shall determine (which determination shall be

conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that it has, or by such Credit Extension may have, Fronting

Exposure. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower

may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04.

Each Swingline Loan shall bear interest only at a rate based on the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for

Base Rate Loans. Immediately upon the making of a Swingline Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to,

and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swingline Lender a risk

participation in such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable

Percentage times the amount of such Swingline Loan.

(b)Borrowing Procedures.

Each Borrowing of Swingline Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable

notice to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by: (i)

telephone or (ii) a Swingline Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed

immediately by delivery to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent of a Swingline

Loan Notice. Each such Swingline Loan Notice must be received by the Swingline Lender and

the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall

specify (A) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (B) the

requested date of the Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day). Promptly after receipt by the

Swingline Lender of any Swingline Loan Notice, the Swingline Lender will confirm with the

Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received

such Swingline Loan Notice and, if not, the Swingline Lender will notify the Administrative

Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swingline Lender has

received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the

request of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Borrowing (1) directing the

Swingline Lender not to make such Swingline Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the

first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (2) that one or more of the applicable

conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions

hereof, the Swingline Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in

such Swingline Loan Notice make the amount of its Swingline Loan available to the Borrower at

its office by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Swingline Lender in

immediately available funds.

(c)Refinancing of Swingline Loans.

(i)The Swingline Lender at any time in its sole discretion may request, on behalf of

the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to so request on its

14792722v7

behalf), that each Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable

Percentage of the amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in

writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in

accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples

specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized

portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02.

The Swingline Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Loan Notice

promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make an

amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Loan Notice available

to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the Administrative Agent may

apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swingline Loan) for the account of

the Swingline Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments not

later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section

2.04(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate

Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received

to the Swingline Lender.

(ii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if for any reason any

Swingline Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Borrowing of Revolving Loans in accordance

with Section 2.04(c)(i) (including, without limitation, the failure to satisfy the conditions set forth

in Section 4.02), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swingline Lender as set forth

herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swingline Lender that each of the Lenders fund its

risk participation in the relevant Swingline Loan and each Lender’s payment to the

Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall

be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

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

of the Swingline Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing

provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swingline

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 Lender at a

rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the

Swingline Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any

administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swingline 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 Loan included in the

relevant Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swingline Loan, as the case may be. A

certificate of the Swingline Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent)

with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (c)(iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest

error.

(iv)Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk

participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and

unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff,

counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the

Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the

occurrence or continuance of a Default or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether

or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make

Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section

4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Loan Notice). No such funding of risk

participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swingline

Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d)Repayment of Participations.

(i)At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a

Swingline Loan, if the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of such Swingline

14792722v7

Loan, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the

same funds as those received by the Swingline Lender.

(ii)If any payment received by the Swingline Lender in respect of principal or

interest on any Swingline Loan is required to be returned by the Swingline Lender under any of

the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into

by the Swingline Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Swingline Lender its

Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from

the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the

Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the

Swingline Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in

full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e)Interest for Account of Swingline Lender. The Swingline Lender shall be responsible for

invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swingline Loans. Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Loan

or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any

Swingline Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the

Swingline Lender.

(f)Payments Directly to Swingline Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of

principal and interest in respect of the Swingline Loans directly to the Swingline Lender.

2.05Prepayments.

(a)Optional.

(i)Revolving Loans. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent

pursuant to delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Notice of Loan Prepayment, at any time or

from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty

subject to Section 3.05; provided that, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, (i)

such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) two

Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Term SOFR Loans and (B) on the date of

prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Term SOFR Loans shall be in a principal

amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any

prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of

$100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then

outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the

Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Term SOFR Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s)

of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each

such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on

such Lender’s Applicable Percentage). If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower

shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and

payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of any Term SOFR Loan shall be

accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts

required pursuant to Section 3.05.

(ii)Swingline Loans. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swingline Lender

pursuant to delivery to the Swingline Lender of a Notice of Loan Prepayment (with a copy to the

Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swingline Loans in

whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that, unless otherwise agreed by the

Swingline Lender, (A) such notice must be received by the Swingline Lender and the

Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (B) any such

prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000

in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal thereof then outstanding). Each such notice shall

specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the

Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be

due and payable on the date specified therein.

14792722v7

(b)Mandatory.

(i)Revolving Outstandings. If for any reason the Total Revolving Outstandings at

any time exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments at such time, the Borrower shall

immediately prepay Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and L/C Borrowings and/or Cash

Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided,

however, that, the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations

pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(i) unless, after the prepayment of the Revolving Loans and

Swingline Loans, the Total Revolving Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Revolving

Commitments at such time.

(ii)Application of Other Payments. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.15,

prepayments of the Revolving Facility made pursuant to this Section 2.05(b), first, shall be

applied ratably to the L/C Borrowings and the Swingline Loans, second, shall be applied to the

outstanding Revolving Loans, and, third, shall be used to Cash Collateralize the remaining L/C

Obligations. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit that has been Cash Collateralized, the

funds held as Cash Collateral shall be applied (without any further action by or notice to or from

the Borrower or any other Loan Party that has provided Cash Collateral) to reimburse the L/C

Issuer.

Within the parameters of the applications set forth above, prepayments pursuant to this Section

2.05 shall be applied first (1st) to Base Rate Loans and then to Term SOFR Loans in direct order of

Interest Period maturities. All prepayments under this Section 2.05 shall be subject to Section 3.05, but

otherwise without premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied by interest on the principal amount

prepaid through the date of prepayment.

(c)Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the

Borrower may rescind any Notice of Loan Prepayment under this Section 2.05 (by notice to the

Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified prepayment date) if such prepayment would have

resulted from a refinancing or other contingent transaction, which refinancing or transaction shall not be

consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

2.06Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Revolving

Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swingline Sublimit, or from time to time permanently

reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swingline Sublimit;

provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m.

five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in

an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (iii) the

Borrower shall not terminate or reduce (A) the Aggregate Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect

thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Revolving Outstandings would exceed

the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto,

the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations not fully Cash Collateralized hereunder would exceed the

Letter of Credit Sublimit, or (C) the Swingline Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto and to any

concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Outstanding Amount of Swingline Loans would exceed the

Swingline Sublimit.

The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of the

Letter of Credit Sublimit, Swingline Sublimit or the Aggregate Revolving Commitments under this

Section 2.06. Upon any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Commitment of each

Lender shall be reduced by such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such reduction. All fees in respect of

14792722v7

the Revolving Facility accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Revolving

Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

2.07Repayment of Loans.

The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date for the Revolving Facility the

aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding on such date. The Borrower shall repay

each Swingline Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date ten (10) Business Days after such Loan is made

and (ii) the Maturity Date.

2.08Interest and Default Rate.

(a)Interest. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b), (i) each Term SOFR Loan shall

bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period from the applicable

Borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Term SOFR for such Interest Period plus the Applicable

Rate; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan (including any Swingline Loan) shall bear interest on the outstanding

principal amount thereof from the applicable Borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate

plus the Applicable Rate. To the extent that any calculation of interest or any fee required to be paid

under this Agreement shall be based on (or result in) a calculation that is less than zero, such calculation

shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement.

(b)Default Rate.

(i)If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to

any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such

amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to

the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

(ii)If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the Borrower under

any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods),

whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required

Lenders such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all

times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

(iii)Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists

(including a payment Default), all outstanding Obligations (including Letter of Credit Fees) may

accrue at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest

extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

(iv)Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due

interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c)Interest Payments. Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each

Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest

hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and

before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

2.09Fees.

In addition to certain fees described in clauses (l) and (m) of Section 2.03:

(a)Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of

each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Rate

times the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Revolving Commitments exceeds the sum of (i) the

Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations, subject to

adjustment as provided in Section 2.15. For the avoidance of doubt, the Outstanding Amount of

14792722v7

Swingline Loans shall not be counted towards or considered usage of the Aggregate Revolving

Commitments for purposes of determining the commitment fee. The commitment fee shall accrue at all

times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in

Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each

March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing

Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in

arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall

be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that

such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(b)Other Fees.

(i)The Borrower shall pay the fees in the amounts, to the parties and at the times

specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable

for any reason whatsoever unless otherwise specified therein.

(ii)The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately

agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully

earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

2.10Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate.

(a)Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans

(including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to Term SOFR) shall be made on the basis of a year

of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and

interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees

or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365 day year). Interest shall

accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any

portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is

repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12, bear interest for one (1) day.

Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive

and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b)Financial Statement Adjustments or Restatements. If, as a result of any restatement of or

other adjustment to the financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or for any other reason,

the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio as calculated

by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated

Total Net Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall

immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the

applicable Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, promptly and within one (1) Business Day of

demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for

relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and

without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer), an amount equal to the

excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of

interest and fees actually paid for such period. No Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred

under Section 8.01(a) or (d) as a result of such underpayment or miscalculation so long as the Borrower

complies with the foregoing payment obligation. This clause (b) shall not limit the rights of the

Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under any provision of this

Agreement to payment of any Obligations hereunder at the Default Rate or under Article VIII. The

Borrower’s obligations under this clause (b) shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the

repayment of all other Obligations hereunder for a period of 180 days following the Facility Termination

Date.

2.11Evidence of Debt.

(a)Maintenance of Accounts. The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be

evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender in the ordinary course of

business. The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register in accordance with Section 11.06(c). The

14792722v7

accounts or records maintained by each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of

the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any

failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of

the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any

conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the Register, the Register shall

control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative

Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a

promissory note in the form of Exhibit 2.11 (a “Note”), which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in

addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon

the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b)Maintenance of Records. In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section

2.11(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice

accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of

Credit and Swingline Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by

the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the

accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

2.12Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a)General Payment Terms. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made free

and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to

the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the

Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on

the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its

Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as

received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative

Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable

interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Subject to Section 2.07 and as otherwise specifically provided for

in this Agreement, if any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a

Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time

shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b)(i)Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the

Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any

Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00

noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative

Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender

has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a

Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at

the time required by Section 2.02) 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 Borrowing 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 in

immediately available funds 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

(A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate

determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank

compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the

Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by

the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay

such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent

shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If

such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so

paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by 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.

14792722v7

(i)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 L/C Issuer

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 applicable Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case

may be, the amount due. With respect to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for

the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder as to which the Administrative Agent

determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the

following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) the Borrower has

not in fact made such payment; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the

amount so paid by the Borrower (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative Agent has

for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lenders or the L/C

Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on

demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately

available funds 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 Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with

banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount

owing under this clause (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c)Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the

Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing

provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative

Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or

waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like

funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d)Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans,

to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section

11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such

participation or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not

relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be

responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to

make its payment under Section 11.04(c).

(e)Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the

funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that

it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

(f)Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each Borrowing

(other than Swingline Borrowings) shall be made from the Lenders, each payment of fees under Section

2.03(l), (m) and Section 2.09 shall be made for account of the Lenders, and each termination or reduction

of the amount of the Commitments shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders, pro

rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (ii) each Borrowing shall be allocated

pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments (in the case of the

making of Loans) or their respective Loans that are to be included in such Borrowing (in the case of

conversions and continuations of Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans by the

Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid

principal amounts of the Loans held by them; and (iv) each payment of interest on Loans by the Borrower

shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such

Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders.

2.13Sharing of Payments by Lenders.

14792722v7

If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain

payment in respect of (a) Obligations due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan

Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of

such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the

Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time)

of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other

Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) Obligations owing (but not

due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of

its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing (but not due and

payable) to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due

and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on

account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other

Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time, then, in each case under clauses

(a) and (b) above, 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 sub-participations in

L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans 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 Obligations then due and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due and

payable) to the Lenders, as the case may be, provided that:

(i)if any such participations or sub-participations are purchased and all or any

portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or sub-participations

shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest;

and

(ii)the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall not be construed to apply to (A) any

payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express

terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a

Defaulting Lender), (B) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.14, or

participation in any of its Loans or sub-participations in L/C Obligations or Swingline Loans to

any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof

(as to which the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall apply).

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 such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as

fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

2.14Cash Collateral.

(a)Obligation to Cash Collateralize. At any time there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within

one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer (with a

copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s Fronting

Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv)

and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum

Collateral Amount.

(b)Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting

Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative

Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, and agrees to

maintain, a first priority security interest (subject to Liens permitted under Section 7.01(a), (j) and (m)) in

all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as Collateral

14792722v7

pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash

Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.14(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines

that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or

the L/C Issuer as herein provided, other than Section 7.01(a), (j) and (m), 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 (determined in the case of Cash Collateral provided

pursuant to Section 2.15(a)(v), after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(v) and any Cash Collateral provided

by the Defaulting Lender). All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to

deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America. The

Borrower shall pay on demand therefore from time to time all reasonable, documented and customary

account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance

and disbursement of Cash Collateral.

(c)Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,

Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.14 or Sections 2.03, 2.05, 2.15 or 8.02 in respect of

Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, obligations

to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Lender that is a Defaulting

Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was

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

(d)Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting

Exposure or to secure other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the

applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of

Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance

with Section 11.06(b)(vi))) or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer that

there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (A) any such release shall be without prejudice to,

and any disbursement or other transfer of Cash Collateral shall be and remain subject to, any other Lien

conferred under the Loan Documents and the other applicable provisions of the Loan Documents, and

(B) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the L/C Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be

released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

2.15Defaulting Lenders.

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

any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting

Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

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

disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted

as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 11.01.

(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 VIII or otherwise) or received

by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.08 shall be applied

at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the

payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent

hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting

Lender to the L/C Issuer or the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the L/C

Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section

2.14; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no 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 (A) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding

obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (B) Cash Collateralize the L/C

Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future

14792722v7

Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.14; sixth, to the

payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender as a result of

any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the

Swingline 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 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 as may be required under the Loan Documents in connection

with any Lien conferred thereunder or directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that

if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in

respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such

Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set

forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the

Loans of, and L/C Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to

being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Obligations owed to, such Defaulting

Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations

and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments

hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other

amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed

by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.15(a)(ii) shall be

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

hereto.

(iii)Certain Fees.

(A)Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable

under Section 2.09(a) 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).

(B)Letter of Credit Fees. Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive

Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only

to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of

Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.14.

(C)Defaulting Lender Fees. With respect to any Letter of Credit Fee not

required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (B) above, the Borrower

shall (1) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise

payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation

in L/C Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to

clause (iv) below, (2) pay to the L/C Issuer the amount of any such fee otherwise payable

to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure

to such Defaulting Lender, and (3) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any

such fee.

(iv)Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any

part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans shall be

reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable

Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the

extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Exposure of any Non-

Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitments. Subject to Section

11.20, 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.

14792722v7

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

clause (a)(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 Applicable Law, (A) first,

prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and

(B) second, Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the

procedures set forth in Section 2.14.

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

Lender and the L/C Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the

Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in

such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect

to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of

outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may

determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit

and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments (without

giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender;

provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by

or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that

except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from

Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder

arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c)New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i)

the Swingline 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) the L/C Issuer shall not be

required to issue, extend, increase, reinstate or renew any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will

have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

2.16Incremental Facility Loans.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower shall have the right, from time

to time and upon at least ten Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (an

“Incremental Request”), to request to add one or more tranches of term loans (the “Incremental Term

Loans”; and any credit facility providing for any Incremental Term Loans being referred to as an

“Incremental Term Facility”) and/or increase the Aggregate Revolving Commitments (the “Incremental

Revolving Commitments”; and revolving loans made thereunder the “Incremental Revolving Loans”; the

Incremental Revolving Loans, together with the Incremental Term Loans are referred to herein as the

“Incremental Facility Loans”) subject, however, in any such case, to satisfaction of the following

conditions precedent:

(a)the aggregate amount of all Incremental Revolving Commitments and Incremental Term

Loans effected pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall not exceed an amount equal to the greater of (i)

$30,000,000 and (ii) 100% of Consolidated EBITDA for the most recent Measurement Period;

(b)on the date on which any Incremental Facility Amendment is to become effective, both

immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Incremental Facility

Loans (assuming that the full amount of the Incremental Facility Loans shall have been funded on such

date) and any related transactions, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided that in the

case of any Incremental Term Loan the proceeds of which are to be used to finance a Limited Condition

Acquisition, to the extent agreed by the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan, (x) at the time of

the execution and delivery of the purchase agreement related to such Limited Condition Acquisition, no

Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a result thereof and (y) on the date of

effectiveness of any such Incremental Term Loan and the making of any Loan thereunder, no Specified

Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a result thereof;

14792722v7

(c)after giving effect to the incurrence of such Incremental Facility Loans (assuming the full

amount of the Incremental Facility Loans have been funded) and any related transactions, on a Pro Forma

Basis, the Loan Parties shall be in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.11;

provided that in the case of any Incremental Term Loan the proceeds of which are to be used to finance a

Limited Condition Acquisition, if the Borrower so requests, to the extent agreed by the Lenders providing

such Incremental Term Loan, such compliance may be measured at the time of the execution and delivery

of the purchase agreement related to such Limited Condition Acquisition (and Section 1.10 shall then

apply);

(d)the representations and warranties set forth in Article V shall be true and correct in all

material respects (or if such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality or Material Adverse

Effect, it shall be true and correct) on and as of the date on which such Incremental Facility Amendment

is to become effective, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an

earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (or if such representation

and warranty is qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, it shall be true and correct) as of such

earlier date; provided that in the case of any Incremental Term Loan the proceeds of which are to be used

to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, the applicable representations and warranties may, at the

election of the Borrower and if agreed to by the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan, be

limited to (1) the Specified Representations (or such other formulation thereof as may be agreed by the

Lenders providing such Incremental Facility Loans) and (2) customary acquisition agreement

representations for limited condition acquisitions; provided, further, that in such a case, on the date of

entering into the definitive documentation for such Limited Condition Acquisition (and as a condition to

the requested Incremental Term Loan), the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the

other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, with respect to representations

and warranties modified by a materiality or Material Adverse Effect standard, in all respects) on and as of

such date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date,

in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, with respect to representations and

warranties modified by a materiality or Material Adverse Effect standard, in all respects) as of such earlier

date;

(e)such Incremental Facility Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and in

integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser amounts as agreed by the Administrative

Agent);

(f)any Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be made on the same terms and

provisions (other than upfront fees) as apply to the existing Commitments, including with respect to

maturity date, interest rate and prepayment provisions, and shall not constitute a credit facility separate

and apart from the existing Revolving Facility;

(g)any Incremental Term Loans shall be made on terms satisfactory to the Borrower and the

Lenders providing the Incremental Term Loans; provided that such Incremental Term Loans (A) have a

maturity date that is not earlier than the later of (1) the Maturity Date with respect to Revolving Loans

and (2) the final maturity of any other Incremental Term Loan, (B) have a Weighted Average Life to

Maturity that is not shorter than the then remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any other

Incremental Term Loan (it being understood that, subject to the foregoing, the amortization schedule

applicable to such Incremental Term Loan shall be determined by the Borrower and the Lenders of such

Incremental Term Loan) and (C) share ratably in any mandatory prepayments of any then existing

Incremental Term Facilities pursuant to Section 2.05 (or otherwise provide for more favorable (from the

perspective of the Borrower)) prepayment treatment than the then outstanding Incremental Term

Facilities;

(h)the Administrative Agent shall have received additional commitments in a corresponding

amount of such requested Incremental Facility Loans from either existing Lenders and/or one or more

other institutions that qualify as Eligible Assignees (it being understood and agreed that no existing

Lender shall be required to provide an additional commitment);

(i)the Administrative Agent shall have received customary closing certificates and legal

opinions and all other documents (including resolutions of the board of directors of the Loan Parties) it

14792722v7

may reasonably request relating to the corporate or other necessary authority for such Incremental Facility

Loans and the validity of such Incremental Facility Loans, and any other matters relevant thereto, all in

form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; and

(j)the Administrative Agent shall have received such amendments to the Collateral

Documents as the Administrative Agent reasonably requests to cause the Collateral Documents to secure

the Obligations (in a manner consistent with the terms of the Loan Documents) after giving effect to such

Incremental Facility.

Each Incremental Term Facility and any Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be evidenced

by an amendment (an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement, giving effect to the

modifications permitted by this Section 2.16 (and subject to the limitations set forth in the immediately

preceding paragraph), executed by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and each Lender providing

a portion of the Incremental Term Facility and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments, as applicable;

which such amendment, when so executed, shall amend this Agreement as provided therein. Each

Incremental Facility Amendment shall also require such amendments to the Loan Documents, and such

other new Loan Documents, as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to

effect the modifications and credit extensions permitted by this Section 2.16. Neither any Incremental

Facility Amendment, nor any such amendments to the other Loan Documents or such other new Loan

Documents, shall be required to be executed or approved by any Lender, other than the Lenders providing

such Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments, as applicable, and the

Administrative Agent, in order to be effective. The effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Amendment

shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth above and as such

other conditions as requested by the Lenders under the Incremental Facility established in connection

therewith.

Article III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01Taxes.

(a)Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 3.01, the term “Applicable Law” includes

FATCA and the term “Lender” includes the L/C Issuer.

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

and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be

made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Laws. If any

Applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) require

the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a 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 Governmental Authority 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 such withholding or the making of all such deductions

(including such deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the applicable

Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or

deduction been made.

(c)Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. Without duplication of any obligation under

Section 3.01(b), the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance

with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of,

any Other Taxes.

(d)Tax Indemnifications.

14792722v7

(i)Without duplication of any obligation under Section 3.01(b) or (c), each of the

Loan Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, and shall

make payment in respect thereof 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 3.01) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be

withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any penalties, interest and

reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified

Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A

certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the 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. Each of the Loan Parties shall also,

and does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make

payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for any amount which a

Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant

to Section 3.01(c)(ii) below.

(ii)Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify and shall make payment

in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, the Administrative Agent against

(A) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender, (B) any Taxes attributable to such

Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.06(d) relating to the maintenance of

a Participant Register and (C) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that

are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any

reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were

correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as

to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent

shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative

Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan

Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source

against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (d)(ii).

(e)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan

Party to a Governmental Authority, as provided in this Section 3.01, the Borrower will deliver to the

Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority

evidencing such payment, a copy of any return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment

reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f)Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

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

with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the 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, if reasonably requested by

the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any Lender 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. Notwithstanding

anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and

submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section

3.01(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable

judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material

unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of

such Lender.

(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is

a U.S. Person,

14792722v7

(A)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), executed copies of IRS Form W–9 certifying that

such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled 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), whichever of the

following is applicable:

(1)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an

income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to

payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form

W–8BEN–E (or W–8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or

reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of

such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any

Loan Document, IRS Form W–8BEN–E (or W–8BEN, as applicable)

establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax

pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

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

(3)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 3.01–1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender

is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10

percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B)

of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section

881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed

copies of IRS Form W-8BEN–E (or W–8BEN, as applicable); or

(4)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner,

executed copies of IRS Form W–8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W–8ECI,

IRS Form W–8BEN–E (or W–8BEN, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance

Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 3.01–2 or Exhibit 3.01–3, 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 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 3.01–4 on behalf of each such

direct and indirect partner;

(C)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled 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 copies (or

originals, as required) of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for

claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed,

together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable

Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or

deduction required to be made; and

(D)if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be

subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail

14792722v7

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 the purposes of this clause (f)(ii)(D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made

to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii)Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered

pursuant to this Section 3.01 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall

update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent

in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g)Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by Applicable Laws, at no time shall the

Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have

any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the

account of such Lender. If any Recipient 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 by any Loan Party or with respect

to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to such

Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or

additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise

to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, as the

case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority

with respect to such refund), provided that each Loan Party, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to

repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by

the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such

refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (g), in no

event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to such Loan Party pursuant to this

clause (g) the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than

such Recipient 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 clause (g) shall not be construed to require

any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems

confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

(h)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or

replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender,

the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

3.02Illegality.

If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority

has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Lending Office to make, maintain or fund or charge

interest with respect to any Credit Extension, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR or

Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative

Agent), (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Term SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate

Loans to Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended, and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender

making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Term

SOFR component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if

necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the

Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative

14792722v7

Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon

receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the

Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Term SOFR Loans of such Lender to Base

Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such

illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of

the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue

to maintain such Term SOFR Loan to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue

to maintain such Term SOFR Loan and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining

or charging interest rates based upon SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such

suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Term SOFR

component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer

illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR. Upon any such

prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or

converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.

3.03Inability to Determine Rates.

(a)If in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan or a conversion to or a

continuation thereof, as applicable, (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be

conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) no Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with

Section 3.03(b), and the circumstances under clause (i) of Section 3.03(b) or the Scheduled Unavailability

Date has occurred, or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining Term

SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan or in connection

with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders

determine that for any reason that Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a

proposed Term SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding

such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.

Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans, or to

convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term

SOFR Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding

sentence with respect to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Term SOFR

component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent

(or, in the case of a determination by the Required Lenders described in clause (ii) of this Section 3.03(a),

until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.

Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing

of, conversion to, or continuation of Term SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans

or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a

Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding Term SOFR

Loans shall be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans immediately at the end of their

respective applicable Interest Period.

(b)Replacement of SOFR or Successor Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in

this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which

determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or Required Lenders notify the

Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrower) that the

Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

(i)adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining one month, three

month and six month Interest Periods of Term SOFR, including, without limitation, because the

Term SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances

are unlikely to be temporary; or

14792722v7

(ii)CME or any successor administrator of the Term SOFR Screen Rate or a

Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or such administrator

with respect to its publication of Term SOFR, in each case acting in such capacity, has made a

public statement identifying a specific date after which one month, three month and six month

Interest Periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate shall or will no longer be made

available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of Dollar denominated

syndicated loans, or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, at the time of such statement,

there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will

continue to provide such Interest Periods of Term SOFR after such specific date (the latest date

on which one month, three month and six month Interest Periods of Term SOFR or the Term

SOFR Screen Rate are no longer available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled

Unavailability Date”);

then, on a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent (any such date, the “Term

SOFR Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant Interest

Payment Date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to clause (ii) above, no later

than the Scheduled Unavailability Date, Term SOFR will be replaced hereunder and under any Loan

Document with Daily Simple SOFR for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined

by the Administrative Agent, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any

other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Successor Rate”).

If the Successor Rate is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly

basis.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) if the Administrative Agent determines that

Daily Simple SOFR is not available on or prior to the Term SOFR Replacement Date, or (ii) if the events

or circumstances of the type described in Section 3.03(b)(i) or (ii) have occurred with respect to the

Successor Rate then in effect, then in each case, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend

this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing Term SOFR or any then current Successor Rate in

accordance with this Section 3.03 at the end of any Interest Period, relevant Interest Payment Date or

payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with an alternative benchmark rate giving due

consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar Dollar denominated credit facilities

syndicated and agented in the United States for such alternative benchmark and, in each case, including

any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or

then existing convention for similar Dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the

United States for such benchmark. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments,

shall constitute a “Successor Rate”. Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth

Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders

and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to

the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.

The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Borrower and each

Lender of the implementation of any Successor Rate.

Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to

the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such

Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative

Agent.

14792722v7

Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would

otherwise be less than 0%, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be 0% for the purposes of this

Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

In connection with the implementation of a Successor 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; provided

that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such

amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrower and the Lenders reasonably

promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

3.04Increased 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 L/C Issuer;

(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) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or

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

(iii)impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer any other condition, cost or expense

(other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Term SOFR Loans made by such Lender or any

Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making,

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 or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or

maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any

Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the

L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of

such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case

may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as

the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change in

Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or

the L/C Issuer’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 L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of

such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’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 L/C Issuer, to a level below that which

such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved

but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s policies and the

policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then

from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such

additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the

L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

14792722v7

(c)Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth

the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as

the case may be, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 3.04 and delivered to the Borrower shall

be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer, 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 L/C Issuer to

demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a

waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the

Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing

provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9)

months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, 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 L/C

Issuer’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).

3.05Compensation for Losses.

Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time,

the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss,

cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a)any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate

Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory,

automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b)any 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 Base Rate Loan on the date or in the

amount notified by the Borrower; or

(c)any assignment of a Term SOFR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest

Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 11.13.

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to

maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained,

but excluding any loss of anticipated profits. The Borrower shall also pay any reasonable, documented

and customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

3.06Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

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

Section 3.04, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any

Lender, the L/C Issuer, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the L/C Issuer

pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then at the request of

the Borrower, such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, 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 or the L/C

Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section

3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to

Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the

case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such

Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and

expenses incurred by any Lender or the L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or

assignment.

14792722v7

(b)Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if

the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any

Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 and, in each case, such

Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section

3.06(a), the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.13.

3.07Survival.

All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the

Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, resignation of the Administrative Agent and

the Facility Termination Date.

behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the transactions

contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder or under any other

Loan Document (in each case as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains

any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements

thirty (30) consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement of such judgment, by reason of a pending

appeal or otherwise, is not in effect; or

(i)ERISA. (i) An ERISA Event occurs with respect to a Pension Plan or Multiemployer

Plan which has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in liability of any Loan Party to the

Pension Plan, Multiemployer Plan or the PBGC in an aggregate amount in excess of the Threshold

Amount, or (ii) the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate fails to pay when due, after the expiration of any

applicable grace period, any installment payment with respect to its withdrawal liability under Section

4201 of ERISA under a Multiemployer Plan in an aggregate amount in excess of the Threshold Amount;

(j)Invalidity of Loan Documents. Any material provision of any Loan Document, at any

time after its execution and delivery and for any reason (other than as expressly permitted hereunder or

thereunder or as a result of satisfaction in full of all Obligations (other than contingent obligations for

which no claim has been made) arising under the Loan Documents), ceases to be in full force and effect;

or any Loan Party contests in any manner the validity or enforceability of any provision of any Loan

Document; or any Loan Party denies that it has any or further liability or obligation under any provision

of any Loan Document (other than as a result of repayment in full of the Obligations and termination of

the Commitments), or purports to revoke, terminate or rescind any provision of any Loan Document or it

is or becomes unlawful for a Loan Party to perform any of its material obligations under the Loan

Documents; or any Collateral Document shall for any reason cease to create a valid and perfected first

priority Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) on any material portion of the Collateral purported to be

covered thereby, or any Loan Party shall assert the invalidity of such Liens;

(k)Change of Control. There occurs any Change of Control.

(l)Material Default; Termination Under any Government Contract. A default by any Loan

Party or any Subsidiary occurs under the terms of any contract with the United States government or any

agency thereof and such default has had a Material Adverse Effect; or

(m)Debarment. Any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or any officer or director of any Loan

Party or any Subsidiary is debarred, suspended, declared ineligible or otherwise excluded or disqualified

14792722v7

from contracting with the federal government, which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a

Material Adverse Effect.

If a Default shall have occurred under the Loan Documents, then such Default will continue to

exist until it either is cured (to the extent specifically permitted) in accordance with the Loan Documents

or is otherwise expressly waived by the Administrative Agent (with the approval of requisite Lender) as

determined in accordance with Section 11.01; and once an Event of Default occurs under the Loan

Documents, then such Event of Default will continue to exist until it is expressly waived by the requisite

Lenders or by the Administrative Agent with the approval of the requisite Lenders, as required hereunder

in Section 11.01.

8.02Remedies upon Event of Default.

If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of,

or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders, take any or all of the following actions:

(a)declare the Commitment of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the L/C

Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions to be terminated, whereupon such commitments and obligation

shall be terminated;

(b)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;

(c)require that the Borrower Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to

the Minimum Collateral Amount with respect thereto); and

(d)exercise on behalf of itself, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer all rights and remedies

available to it, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under the Loan Documents or Applicable Law or equity;

provided, however, that, upon the occurrence of an event described in Section 8.01(f) with respect to the

Borrower, the Commitments of each Lender and the obligation of the Lenders to make Loans and any

obligation of the L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate, the unpaid

principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall

automatically become due and payable, and the obligation of the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C

Obligations as aforesaid shall automatically become effective, in each case without further act of the

Administrative Agent or any Lender.

8.03Application of Funds.

After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically

become immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations have automatically been required to be

Cash Collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 8.02) or if at any time insufficient funds are

received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all Secured Obligations then due

hereunder, any amounts received on account of the Secured Obligations shall, subject to the provisions of

Section 2.14 and 2.15, be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

First, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting fees, indemnities,

expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative

Agent and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

14792722v7

Second, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and

other amounts (other than principal, interest and Letter of Credit Fees) payable to the Lenders and the L/C

Issuer (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and the L/C Issuer

arising under the Loan Documents and amounts payable under Article III), ratably among them in

proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

Third, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid

Letter of Credit Fees and interest on the Loans, L/C Borrowings and other Secured Obligations arising

under the Loan Documents, ratably among the Lenders and the L/C Issuer in proportion to the respective

amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the

Loans, L/C Borrowings and Secured Obligations then owing under Secured Hedge Agreements and

Secured Cash Management Agreements and to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C

Issuer, to Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount

of Letters of Credit, to the extent not otherwise Cash Collateralized by the Borrower pursuant to Sections

2.03 and 2.14, in each case ratably among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the L/C Issuer, the

Hedge Banks and the Cash Management Banks in proportion to the respective amounts described in this

clause Fourth payable to them; and

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full,

to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

Subject to Sections 2.03(c) and 2.14, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn

amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fourth 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

Secured Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above. Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any

Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor or such Guarantor’s assets, but

appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Loan Parties to preserve the

allocation to Secured Obligations otherwise set forth above in this Section.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management

Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements shall be excluded from the application described above if the

Administrative Agent has not received a Secured Party Designation Notice, 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. Each Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank not a party to this

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 IX for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

Article IX

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

9.01Appointment and Authority.

(a)Appointment. Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints,

designates and authorizes Bank of America 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

14792722v7

thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this

Article IX are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and no

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.

(b)Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under

the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Hedge Bank, and a

potential Cash Management Bank) and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the

Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and the L/C Issuer 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 Secured Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In

this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and

attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding

or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents,

or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be

entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article XI (including Section 11.04(c), as

though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan

Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

9.02Rights 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 banking, trust, financial, advisory, underwriting or other business with any Loan Party 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 or to provide notice to or consent of the Lenders with

respect thereto.

9.03Exculpatory Provisions.

(a)The Administrative Agent or its Related Parties shall not have any duties or obligations

except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be

administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and

its Related Parties:

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

a 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

14792722v7

(iii)shall not have any duty or responsibility to disclose, and shall not be liable for the

failure to disclose, to any Lender or the L/C Issuer any credit or other information concerning the

business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any

of the Loan Parties or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to, or in the possession of, the

Administrative Agent, BofA Securities, Inc. or any of their Related Parties in any capacity, except

for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the

Administrative Agent herein.

(b)Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any

action taken or not taken by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any

other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (i) with the consent or at the

request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be

necessary), or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the

circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or

willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable

judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and

until notice describing such Default is given in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a

Lender or the L/C Issuer.

(c)Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties have any duty or

obligation to any Lender or participant or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement,

warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document,

(ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in

connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements

or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity,

enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other

agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be

created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the

satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of

items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

9.04Reliance by Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying

and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, communication, 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 be fully protected in relying 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 the L/C

Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/

C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or

the L/C Issuer 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 Loan Parties),

independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or

not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. For purposes of

determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.01, each Lender that has signed this

Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each

document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or

satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender

prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objections.

14792722v7

9.05Delegation 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 IX shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the

Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection

with the syndication of the credit 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 non-appealable judgment that

the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-

agents.

9.06Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a)Notice. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the

Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required

Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a

bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United

States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have

accepted such appointment within thirty (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 L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set

forth above; provided that in no event shall any 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)Defaulting Lender. 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

thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective

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

Removal Effective Date.

(c)Effect of Resignation or Removal. With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the

Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (i) the 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 L/C

Issuer 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 or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed

Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or

through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer 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 as provided in Section 3.01(g) and other than any

rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as

of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or

removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or

under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section

9.06). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those

14792722v7

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 IX and Section 9.06 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 (A) while the retiring or removed

Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and (B) after such resignation or removal for as

long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents,

including, without limitation, (1) acting as collateral agent or otherwise holding any collateral security on

behalf of any of the Secured Parties and (2) in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring

the agency to any successor Administrative Agent.

(d)L/C Issuer and Swingline Lender. Any resignation or removal by Bank of America as

Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.06 shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and

Swingline Lender. If Bank of America resigns as the L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers,

privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the

effective date of its resignation as the L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto, including

the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed

Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c). If Bank of America resigns as Swingline Lender, it shall retain all

the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and

outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make

Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c).

Upon the appointment by the Borrower of a successor L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender hereunder (which

successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender), (i) such successor shall succeed

to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or

Swingline Lender, as applicable, (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swingline Lender shall be discharged

from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and

(iii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue Letters of Credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any,

outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to

effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.

9.07Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

Each Lender and the L/C Issuer expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent

nor any Arranger has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative

Agent or any Arranger hereafter taken, including any consent to, and acceptance of any assignment or

review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any

representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or any Arranger to any Lender or the L/C Issuer

as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent or such Arranger has disclosed material

information in their (or their Related Parties’) possession. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer represents to

the Administrative Agent and each Arranger that it has, independently and without reliance upon the

Administrative Agent, any Arranger, 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 of, appraisal of,

and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and

creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory

Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this

Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also

acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any

Arranger, 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 credit analysis, appraisals and

decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or

any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder, and to make such

investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property,

financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer

represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility

14792722v7

and (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course and is

entering into this Agreement as a Lender or L/C Issuer for the purpose of making, acquiring or holding

commercial loans and providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender or L/

C Issuer, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial

instrument, and each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the

foregoing. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer represents and warrants that it is sophisticated with respect to

decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as

may be applicable to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in

making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other

facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other

facilities.

9.08No Other Duties, Etc.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the titles 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, an Arranger, a Lender or

the L/C Issuer hereunder.

9.09Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim; Credit Bidding.

(a)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 L/C 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, by intervention in such proceeding or

otherwise:

(i)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing

and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Secured 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 L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim

for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C

Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts

due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(h) and (i),

2.09, 2.10(b) and 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(ii)to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any

such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator,

sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each

Lender and the L/C Issuer 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 L/C Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the

reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and

its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09,

2.10(b) and 11.04.

(b)Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to

authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of

reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Secured Obligations or the rights of

any Lender or the L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any

Lender or the L/C Issuer or in any such proceeding.

(c)The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the

direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations (including

14792722v7

accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured Obligations pursuant to

a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or

more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (i) at any sale thereof conducted under the

provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of

the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan

Party is subject, (ii) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted

by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or

otherwise) in accordance with any Applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase,

the Secured Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a

ratable basis (with Secured Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving

contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such

claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in

allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt

instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In

connection with any such bid (A) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more

acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (B) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the

acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to

such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof

shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the

termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required

Lenders contained in Section 11.01(a)), and (C) to the extent that Secured Obligations that are assigned to

an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being

higher or better, because the amount of Secured Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds

the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Secured Obligations shall

automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments

issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Secured Obligations that had been assigned to the

acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any

acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

9.10Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

(a)Each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Cash Management Bank

and a potential Hedge Bank) and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its

option and in its discretion,

(i)to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative

Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon the Facility Termination Date, (ii) that is sold or

otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any

sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) if

approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section

11.01;

(ii)to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative

Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by

Section 7.01(i); and

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 pursuant to

this Section 9.10. In each case as specified in this Section 9.10, the Administrative Agent will, at the

Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents and take such other

action as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from

the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest

in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in

accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.10.

inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the

notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan

Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral)

(or to notice of or to consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of the provisions hereof or of the

Guaranty or any Collateral Document) 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 IX

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 Obligations arising under Secured

herein and unless the Administrative Agent has received a Secured Party Designation Notice of such

Secured 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. The

Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory

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

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

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).

9.13Recovery of Erroneous Payments.

Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at any time the Administrative

Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Lender Recipient Party, whether or not in respect of an

Obligation due and owing by the Borrower at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount,

then in any such event, each Lender Recipient Party receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to

repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Lender

Recipient Party in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each

day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of

payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by

the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each

Lender Recipient Party irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for

value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third

party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable

Amount. The Administrative Agent shall inform each Lender Recipient Party promptly upon determining

that any payment made to such Lender Recipient Party comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable

Amount.

Article X

CONTINUING GUARANTY

10.01Guaranty.

Each Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally, jointly and severally guarantees, as

primary obligor and as a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty of

collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon

acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of any and all of the Secured Obligations

(for each Guarantor, subject to the proviso in this sentence, its “Guaranteed Obligations”); provided, that,

(a) the Guaranteed Obligations of a Guarantor shall exclude any Excluded Swap Obligations with respect

to such Guarantor and (b) the liability of each Guarantor individually with respect to this Guaranty shall

be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations

14792722v7

hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or any

comparable provisions of any applicable state law or other Applicable Law. Without limiting the

generality of the foregoing, the Guaranteed Obligations shall include any such indebtedness, obligations,

and liabilities, or portion thereof, which may be or hereafter become unenforceable or compromised or

shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under any proceeding or case commenced by or against any

debtor under any Debtor Relief Laws. The Administrative Agent’s books and records showing the amount

of the Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon

each Guarantor, and conclusive for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Secured Obligations

absent manifest error. This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or

enforceability of the Secured Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Secured

Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any

collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Secured Obligations which might

otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of the Guarantors, or any of them, under this Guaranty,

and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any

way relating to any or all of the foregoing (other than any defense related to the payment or satisfaction in

full of the Secured Obligations).

10.02Rights of Lenders.

Each Guarantor consents and agrees that the Secured Parties may, at any time and from time to

time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness

hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for

payment or the terms of the Secured Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce,

waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this Guaranty

or any Secured Obligations; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the

Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders in their sole discretion may determine; and

(d) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Secured

Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor consents to the taking of, or

failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of such Guarantor

under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of such Guarantor.

10.03Certain Waivers.

Each Guarantor waives: (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the

Borrower or any other guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or

omission of any Secured Party) of the liability of the Borrower or any other Loan Party; (b) any defense

based on any claim that such Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of the

Borrower or any other Loan Party; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting any Guarantor’s

liability hereunder; (d) any right to proceed against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, proceed against

or exhaust any security for the Secured Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in the power of any

Secured Party whatsoever; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter

held by any Secured Party; and (f) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or

benefits that may be derived from or afforded by Applicable Law limiting the liability of or exonerating

guarantors or sureties. Each Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all

presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests,

notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever

with respect to the Secured Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence,

creation or incurrence of new or additional Secured Obligations.

10.04Obligations Independent.

100

14792722v7

The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as

surety, and are independent of the Secured Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor, and a

separate action may be brought against each Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty whether or not the

Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a party.

10.05Subrogation.

No Guarantor shall exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or

similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until all of the Secured

Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty have been paid and performed in full and the

Commitments are terminated. If any amounts are paid to a Guarantor in violation of the foregoing

limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall

forthwith be paid to the Secured Parties to reduce the amount of the Secured Obligations, whether

matured or unmatured.

10.06Termination; Reinstatement.

This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Secured Obligations now or

hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until the Facility Termination Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the

case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or a Guarantor is made, or any of the

Secured Parties exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Secured Obligations and such payment or the

proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or

preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by any of the Secured

Parties in their discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any

proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such

setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Secured Parties are in possession of or have released this

Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of

each Guarantor under this Section 10.06 shall survive termination of this Guaranty.

10.07Stay of Acceleration.

If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Secured Obligations is stayed, in connection

with any case commenced by or against a Guarantor or the Borrower under any Debtor Relief Laws, or

otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by each Guarantor, jointly and severally,

immediately upon demand by the Secured Parties.

10.08Condition of the Borrower.

Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate

means of, obtaining from the Borrower and any other guarantor such information concerning the financial

condition, business and operations of the Borrower and any such other guarantor as such Guarantor

requires, and that none of the Secured Parties has any duty, and such Guarantor is not relying on the

Secured Parties at any time, to disclose to it any information relating to the business, operations or

financial condition of the Borrower or any other guarantor (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part

of the Secured Parties to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the

same).

10.09Appointment of the Borrower.

101

14792722v7

Each of the Loan Parties hereby appoints the Borrower to act as its agent for all purposes of this

Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all other documents and electronic platforms entered into in

connection herewith and agrees that: (a) the Borrower may execute such documents and provide such

authorizations on behalf of such Loan Parties as the Borrower deems appropriate in its sole discretion and

each Loan Party shall be obligated by all of the terms of any such document and/or authorization executed

on its behalf; (b) any notice or Communication delivered by the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer or a

Lender to the Borrower shall be deemed delivered to each Loan Party; and (c) the Administrative Agent,

L/C Issuer or the Lenders may accept, and be permitted to rely on, any document, authorization,

instrument or agreement executed by the Borrower on behalf of each of the Loan Parties.

10.10Right of Contribution.

The Guarantors agree among themselves that, in connection with payments made hereunder, each

Guarantor shall have contribution rights against the other Guarantors as permitted under Applicable Law.

10.11Keepwell.

Each Loan Party that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor at the time the Guaranty or the grant of a Lien

under the Loan Documents, in each case, by any Specified Loan Party becomes effective with respect to

any Swap Obligation, hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes

to provide such funds or other support to each Specified Loan Party with respect to such Swap Obligation

as may be needed by such Specified Loan Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under the

Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount

of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s

obligations and undertakings under this Article X voidable under Applicable Law relating to fraudulent

conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of

each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 10.11 shall remain in full force and effect until the

Secured Obligations have been paid and performed in full. Each Loan Party intends this Section 10.11 to

constitute, and this Section 10.11 shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a

“keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Specified Loan Party for all purposes of

the Commodity Exchange Act.

other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any

right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document preclude any other or

further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights,

remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are

cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders and the L/C

Issuer; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from

exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as

Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the L/C Issuer or the

Swingline Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as

L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents,

Section 2.13), or (d) 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 Debtor Relief Law; and

provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and

under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to

the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses

(b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.13, any Lender may, with the consent of

the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required

gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Indemnitee, (y) such Indemnitee’s breach in bad

faith of its obligations under the Loan Documents in connection with a claim brought by the Borrower or

107

14792722v7

indefeasibly pay any amount required under clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 11.04 to be paid by it to the

Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the L/C Issuer, the Swingline Lender or any Related

Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any

such sub-agent), the L/C Issuer, the Swingline Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such

Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity

payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the Total Credit Exposure at such time) of such unpaid

amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender), such payment

to be made severally among them based on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the

time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), provided, that the

unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may

be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the L/C Issuer

or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing

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 nothing contained in this sentence shall limit any Loan Parties’ indemnification obligations to the

extent set forth in this Section 11.04 to the extent such special, indirect, consequential or punitive

damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which such Indemnitee is entitled to

indemnification hereunder No Indemnitee referred to in clause (b) above shall be liable for any damages

arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such

unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information

contemplated hereby or thereby.

(10) Business Days after demand therefor.

(f)Survival. The agreements in this Section 11.04 and the indemnity provisions of Section

11.02(e) shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swingline

Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment,

satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

11.05Payments Set Aside.

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative

Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises

its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently

invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any

settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be

repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief

Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended

to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been

made or such setoff had not occurred and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to

the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so

recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand

to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in

108

14792722v7

effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall

survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

11.06Successors and Assigns.

(a)Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan

Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and thereto and their

respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party

may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written

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

Section 11.06(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the

Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under

or by reason of this Agreement.

or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including

all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loans (including for purposes of this clause (b),

participations in L/C Obligations and in Swingline Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that any such

assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i)Minimum Amounts.

(A)in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the

assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or 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 clause (b)(i)(B) of this

Section 11.06 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

(B)in any case not described in clause (b)(i)(A) of this Section 11.06, the

aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding

thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance

of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of

the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to

the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and

Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of any

assignment in respect of the Revolving Facility, unless each of the Administrative Agent

and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower

otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(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

and the other Loan Documents with respect to the Loans and/or the Commitment assigned, except

that this clause (b)(ii) shall not (A) apply to the Swingline Lender’s rights and obligations in

respect of Swingline Loans or (B) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights

and obligations among separate facilities on a non-pro rata basis.

(iii)Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to

the extent required by clause (b)(i)(B) of this Section 11.06 and, in addition:

109

14792722v7

(A)the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably

withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is

continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) 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 five (5) Business Days after having received notice

thereof;

(B)the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be

unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of any

Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such

Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and

(C)the consent of the L/C Issuer and the Swingline Lender shall be required

for any assignment in respect of the Commitments.

(iv)Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and

deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing

and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent

may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any

assignment. 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, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any

of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any

of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C) to a natural Person (or a holding

company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated by or for the primary benefit of

one or more natural Persons).

(vi)Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and

obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and

until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall

make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient,

upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the

assignee of participations or sub-participations, 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 (A) pay and satisfy in full all

payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the L/C

Issuer or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (B) 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 Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in

the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall

become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this clause

(b)(vi), then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all

purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(vii)Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent

pursuant to Section 11.06(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and

Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the

interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a

Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the

interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this

Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning

Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party

hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 11.04 with

respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment);

110

14792722v7

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. Upon request, the

Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any

assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not

comply with this clause (b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such

Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.06(d).

(c)Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary

agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for Tax purposes), shall maintain at the

Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the

equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the

Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and interest amounts) of the Loans and L/C

Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The

entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the 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. The Register shall be available for

inspection by the Borrower and any Lender (with respect to such Lender’s interest only), at any

reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)Participations.

(i)Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower

or the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any other Lender, 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 one or more natural Persons, a Defaulting Lender 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 (including all or a

portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C

Obligations and/or Swingline 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 Lenders and the L/C Issuer 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

11.04(c) without regard to the existence of any participations.

(ii)Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a

participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement

and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement;

provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the

consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the

first proviso to Section 11.01 that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each

Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the

requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.01(e) (it being

understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(e) shall be delivered to the Lender

who sells the participation)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest

by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 11.06; provided that such Participant

(A) shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.06 and 11.13 as if it were an assignee under

clause (b) of this Section 11.06 and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under

Sections 3.01 or 3.04, with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired

the applicable participation 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 3.06 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted

by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a

Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a

111

14792722v7

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 interest amounts) 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. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or

any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note or Notes, if any) 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.

(f)Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding

anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitment

and Revolving Loans pursuant to clause (b) above, Bank of America may, (i) upon thirty (30) days’

notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon

thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as Swingline Lender. In the event of any such resignation

as L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a

successor L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower

to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer or Swingline

Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers,

privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the

effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the

right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed

Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If Bank of America resigns as Swingline Lender, it shall retain all

the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and

outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make

Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c).

Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swingline Lender, (A) such successor shall

succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C

Issuer or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, and (B) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of

credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make

other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of

America with respect to such Letters of Credit.

11.07Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.

(a)Treatment of Certain Information. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the

L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that

Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates, its auditors 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), (ii) to the extent required or

requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related

Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance

to any routine audit or examination conducted by accountants or any governmental regulatory authority

exercising examination or regulatory authority) to the extent not prohibited by law, rule or regulation),

112

14792722v7

(iii) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process

or regulation), (iv) to any other party hereto, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies

hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or

any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an

agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 11.07, to (A) any assignee

of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under

this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 2.16 or (B) any actual

or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which

payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments

hereunder, (vii) on a confidential basis to (A) any rating agency in connection with rating any Loan Party

other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder, (ix) with the consent of the

Borrower or to the extent such Information (1) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a

breach of this Section 11.07 or (2) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C

have confidentiality obligations to the Borrower or (x) is independently discovered or developed by a

party hereto without utilizing any Information received from the Borrower or violating the terms of this

Section 11.07. For purposes of this Section 11.07, “Information” means all information received from the

Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective

businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or

the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, provided,

that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such

information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain

the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 11.07 shall be considered to have complied

with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the

confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. In

addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and

information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending

industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the

doubt, nothing herein prohibits any individual from communicating or disclosing information regarding

suspected violations of laws, rules or regulations to a governmental, regulatory, or self-regulatory

authority without any notification to any person.

may include material non-public information concerning a Loan Party or a Subsidiary, as the case may be,

(ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and

(iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with Applicable Law, including

United States federal and state securities Laws.

issue any press releases or other public disclosure using the name of the Administrative Agent or any

Lender or their respective Affiliates or referring to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents without

the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, unless (and only to the extent that) the Loan Parties

or such Affiliate is required to do so under law and then, in any event the Loan Parties or such Affiliate

will consult with such Person before issuing such press release or other public disclosure.

(c)Customary Advertising Material. The Loan Parties consent to the publication by the

Administrative Agent or any Lender of customary advertising material relating to the transactions

contemplated hereby using the name, product photographs, logo or trademark of the Loan Parties.

11.08Right of Setoff.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and

each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining

the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law to set

off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever

currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such

Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any

other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party now or

hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, the L/C Issuer or

such Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, the L/C Issuer or Affiliate shall have made

any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the

Borrower or any other Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured, secured or unsecured, or are owed to

a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch, office or Affiliate

holding such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting

Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts to set off shall be paid over immediately to

the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.15 and,

pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed

held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, and (b) the

Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in

reasonable detail the Secured Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such

right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section

11.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the

L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates may have under Applicable Law. Each Lender and the L/C

Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and

application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and

application.

11.09Interest Rate Limitation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or

agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest

permitted by Applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall

receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the

principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining

whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender

exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) characterize

any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude

voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or

unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

11.10Integration; Effectiveness.

This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to

fees payable to the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, constitute the entire contract among the

parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and

understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01,

this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and

when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the

114

14792722v7

signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit

of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

11.11Survival of Representations and Warranties.

All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other

document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the

execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be

relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the

Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent

or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and

shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain

unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

11.12Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or

unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement

and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor

in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions

the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable

provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render

unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this

Section 11.12, 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, the L/C Issuer or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be

deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

11.13Replacement of Lenders.

(a)If the Borrower is entitled to replace a Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.06,

or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender or if any other circumstance exists

hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, 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 11.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing

rights to payments pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.04) 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:

(i)the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if

any) specified in Section 11.06(b);

(ii)such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to 100% of the

outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and

all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any

amounts under Section 3.05) 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);

(iii)in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under

Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will

result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

115

14792722v7

(iv)such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Laws; and

(v)in the case of an assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting

Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or

consent.

(b)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.

(c)Each party hereto agrees that (i) an assignment required pursuant to this Section 11.13

may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the

Administrative Agent and the assignee and (ii) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be

a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to and

be bound by the terms thereof; provided, that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the

other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such

assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender, provided further that any such documents

shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.

(d)Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.13 to the contrary, (A) the Lender that acts

as the L/C Issuer may not be replaced hereunder at any time it has any Letter of Credit outstanding

hereunder unless arrangements satisfactory to such Lender (including the furnishing of a backstop

standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer, reasonably satisfactory to the L/C

Issuer or the depositing of Cash Collateral into a Cash Collateral account in amounts and pursuant to

arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer) have been made with respect to such outstanding

Letter of Credit and (B) the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder

except in accordance with the terms of Section 9.06.

arising, including but not limited to any obligation of any such other Loan Party to the Subordinating

Loan Party as subrogee of the Secured Parties or resulting from such Subordinating Loan Party’s

so request, any such obligation or indebtedness of any such other Loan Party to the Subordinating Loan

Party shall be enforced and performance received by the Subordinating Loan Party as trustee for the

Secured Parties and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Secured Parties on account of the

Secured Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of the Subordinating

Loan Party under this Agreement. Without limitation of the foregoing, so long as no Default has occurred

provided, that, in the event that any Loan Party receives any payment of any Intercompany Debt at a time

when such payment is prohibited by this Section 11.16, such payment shall be held by such Loan Party, in

trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid forthwith over and delivered, upon written request, to the

117

14792722v7

11.17No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection

with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower

and each other Loan Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that:

(a) (i) the services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the

Lenders and their respective Affiliates are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower,

each other Loan Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the

Arrangers and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, (ii) each of the Borrower and

the other Loan Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it

has deemed appropriate, and (iii) the Borrower and each other Loan Party is capable of evaluating, and

understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by

the other Loan Documents; (b) (i) the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and each Lender and each of

their respective Affiliates each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed

in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or

fiduciary, for the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person

and (ii) neither the Administrative Agent, nor any Arranger, nor any Lender nor any of their respective

Affiliates has any obligation to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates

with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein

and in the other Loan Documents; and (c) the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders and

their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ

from those of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and neither the

Administrative Agent, nor any Arranger, nor any Lender nor any of their respective Affiliates has any

obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their

respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Borrower and each other Loan

Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the

Arrangers, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of

agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transactions contemplated hereby.

11.18Electronic Execution; Electronic Records; Counterparts.

This Agreement, any Loan Document and any other Communication, including Communications

required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using

Electronic Signatures. Each of the Loan Parties and each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender

Recipient Party agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be

valid and binding on such Person to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any

Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding

obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with the terms thereof to the

same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be

executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic

counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt,

the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance of a manually

signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF

format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission,

delivery and/or retention. The Administrative Agent and each of the Lender Recipient Parties may, at its

option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record

(“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and

destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including

an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect,

118

14792722v7

validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,

neither the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer nor Swingline Lender is under any obligation to accept an

Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by such Person pursuant to

procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the

Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and/or Swingline Lender has agreed to accept such Electronic

Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lender Recipient Parties shall be entitled to rely on

any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party and/or any Lender

Recipient Party without further verification and regardless of the appearance or form of such Electronic

Signature, and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender Recipient Party, any

Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart.

Neither the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer nor Swingline Lender shall be responsible for or

have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or

genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the

avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s, L/C Issuer’s or Swingline Lender’s

reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means).

The Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and Swingline Lender shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur

no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any

Communication (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting

or other distribution or signed using an Electronic Signature) or any statement made to it orally or by

telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated (whether or not

such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof).

Each of the Loan Parties and each Lender Recipient Party hereby waives (i) any argument,

defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan

Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan

Document, and (ii) waives any claim against the Administrative Agent and each Lender Recipient Party

for any liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender Recipient Party’s

reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures, including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the

Loan Parties to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or

transmission of any Electronic Signature.

11.19USA PATRIOT Act Notice.

Each Lender that is subject to the Patriot Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on

behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower and the other Loan Parties that pursuant to the

requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107–56 (signed into law October 26, 2001))

(the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and

each other Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and each other

Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable,

to identify the Borrower and each other Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. The Borrower and

each other Loan Party shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender,

provide all such other documentation and information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender

requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-

money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act and Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

11.20Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.

Solely to the extent any Lender or L/C Issuer that is an Affected Financial Institution is a party to

this Agreement and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other

119

14792722v7

agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that

any liability of any Lender or L/C Issuer that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan

Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion

Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees

to be bound by:

(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution

Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender or L/C Issuer

that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

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

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

(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments

of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution

that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of

ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this

Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the

Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

11.21Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.

To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any

Swap Contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”,

and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to

the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance

Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the

regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported

QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the 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): In the event a Covered Entity

that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S.

Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit

Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support,

and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered

Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special

Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation

and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In

the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding

under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise

apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered

Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under

the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the

laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is

understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in

no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit

Support.
