(d)  The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein (i) operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under any of the Credit Documents or (ii) constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Credit Documents. 
(e)  In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Amendment, on the one hand, and the terms of the Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents, on the other hand, the terms hereof shall control.

1.5    Limited Condition Acquisitions
.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Credit Document to the contrary, when (a)(i) calculating any applicable ratio or the use of any basket, (ii) determining the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4 hereof or in any other Credit Document or (iii) determining satisfaction of any conditions precedent, in the case of each of clause (i), (ii) and (iii), in connection with any Specified Transaction or (b) determining compliance with any provision that requires that no Default or Event of Default has occurred is continuing or would result therefrom, in each case of (a) and (b) in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, the date of determination of such ratio and determination of such compliance will, at the option of the Company (the Company’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, an “LCA Election”), be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (the “LCA Test Date”).  In furtherance of the foregoing, and notwithstanding the requirements of the preceding sentence, the Company shall be entitled to make an LCA Election with respect to the 2022 Acquisition on or about the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, and the applicable LCA Test Date in respect of the 2022 Acquisition shall be the date that the 2022 Acquisition Agreement was executed (which, for the avoidance of doubt, was May 21, 2022).  If on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and the other Specified Transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) determined as if such Limited Condition Acquisition or other transactions had occurred at the beginning of the most recently ended Test Period ending prior to the LCA Test Date for which financial statements are delivered (or were required to have been delivered), the Company could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with the applicable ratios and other conditions (and if such Limited Condition Acquisition is (x) the 2022 Acquisition, then the Company may make the calculations contemplated by this sentence assuming that clause (x) of the second paragraph of Section 6.7(a) is in effect and (y) a Material Permitted Investment other than the 2022 Acquisition, then the Company may make the calculations contemplated by this sentence assuming that the first paragraph of Section 6.7(a) is in effect (including, if the Company has made an election in accordance with the first proviso to Section 6.7(a), that an Adjusted Covenant Period is then in effect)), then such provisions will be deemed to have been complied with, unless an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.1(a), (f) or (g) will be continuing on the date such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated.  For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if any of such ratios are exceeded or conditions are not satisfied as a result of fluctuations in such ratio or for any other reason (other than an Event of Default

pursuant to Section 8.1(a), (f) or (g)) (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Acquisition, such ratios and other provisions will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted hereunder and (ii) such ratios and compliance with such conditions will not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition or related Specified Transactions, unless on such date an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.1(a), (f) or (g) will be continuing.  If the Company 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 Specified Transaction on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio or basket will be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof and the use of cash which would have otherwise constituted Unrestricted and Unencumbered Cash for the purpose of calculating any applicable ratio) have been consummated until such time as the applicable Limited Condition Acquisition has actually closed or the definitive agreement with respect thereto has been terminated or expires (and if such Limited Condition Acquisition is (x) the 2022 Acquisition, then the calculations contemplated by this sentence shall be made assuming that the clause (x) of the second paragraph of Section 6.7(a) is in effect and (y) a Material Permitted Investment other than the 2022 Acquisition, then the calculations contemplated by this sentence shall be made assuming that the first paragraph of Section 6.7(a) is in effect (including, if the Company has made an election in accordance with the first proviso to Section 6.7(a), that an Adjusted Covenant Period is then in effect)).
1.6    Currency Conversion and Fluctuations.
(a)    If more than one currency or currency unit are at the same time recognized by the central bank of any country as the lawful currency of that country, then (i) any reference in the Credit Documents to, and any obligations arising under the Credit Documents in, the currency of that country shall be translated into or paid in the currency or currency unit of that country designated by the Administrative Agent and (ii) any translation from one currency or currency unit to another shall be at the official rate of exchange recognized by the central bank for conversion of that currency or currency unit into the other, rounded up or down (to the next 1/16 of 1%) by the Administrative Agent as it deems appropriate.
(b)    If a change in any currency of a country occurs, this Agreement shall be amended (and each party hereto agrees to enter into any supplemental agreement necessary to effect any such amendment) to the extent that the Administrative Agent determines such amendment to be necessary to reflect the change in currency and to put the Lenders in the same position, so far as possible, that they would have been in if no change in currency had occurred.
(c)    No later than 11:00 a.m. London time on each Calculation Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Exchange Rate as of such Calculation Date with respect to each applicable currency; provided that, upon receipt of an Application or Issuance Notice for an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4(b), the Administrative Agent shall determine the Exchange Rate with respect to the relevant currency on the related Calculation Date (it being acknowledged and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall use such Exchange Rate for the purposes of determining compliance with Section 2.4(a) with respect to such Application).  The Exchange Rates so determined shall become effective on the relevant Calculation Date (a “Reset Date”), shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset Date and shall for all purposes of this Agreement (other than Section 10.26 and any other provision expressly requiring the use of a current Exchange Rate) be the

Exchange Rates employed in converting any amounts between Dollars and any other currency.  For purposes of 2.4(g), the Alternative Currency L/C Exposure shall be calculated using the applicable Exchange Rate on the date notice demanding cash collateralization is delivered to the Company.
(d)    No later than 11:00 a.m. London time on each Reset Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the aggregate amount of the Dollar Equivalents of (i) all Loans and (ii) all Letter of Credit Obligations, in each case then outstanding that are denominated in an Alternative Currency, and shall promptly notify the Company and the Issuing Banks of such amounts.
(e)    The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company of each determination of an Exchange Rate hereunder.
(f)    Any amount specified in this Agreement (other than in Section 2 and Section 10) or any of the other Credit Documents to be in Dollars shall also include the equivalent of such amount in any currency other than Dollars, such equivalent amount thereof in the applicable currency to be determined by the Administrative Agent at such time on the basis of the Spot Rate for the purchase of such currency with Dollars. The “Spot Rate” for a currency means the rate determined by Administrative Agent to be the rate quoted by the Person acting in such capacity as the spot rate for the purchase by such Person of such currency with another currency through its principal foreign exchange trading office at approximately 11:00 a.m. on the date two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such determination; provided that Administrative Agent may obtain such spot rate from another financial institution designated by Administrative Agent if the Person acting in such capacity does not have as of the date of determination a spot buying rate for any such currency.
(g)    Except as otherwise specified, wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Credit Extension, a conversion, continuation or prepayment of a Loan, an amount, such as, without limitation, a required minimum or multiple, is expressed in Dollars, but such Loan is denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the equivalent amount thereof in such Alternative Currency as determined by the Administrative Agent at such time on the basis of the Spot Rate for the purchase of such Alternative Currency with Dollars of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Alternative Currency, with 0.5 and greater of a unit being rounded upward), as determined by Administrative Agent.
(h)    For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of a Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, all interest shall accrue and be payable thereon based on the actual amount outstanding in such Alternative Currency (without any translation into the Dollar Equivalent thereof).
1.7    Divisions(a)    .  For all purposes under the Credit Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws) (a “Division”): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Capital Stock at such time.
1.8    Interest Rates; IBORBenchmark Notification(a)    .  The interest rate on Term Benchmark Loans is determined by reference to one of the Term Benchmark Rates, which are derived from the interbank offered rate for the applicable currency.  The interbank offered rates are intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the applicable interbank market.  In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE

Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Term Benchmark Rate Loans denominated in Dollars. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the interbank offered rates for each currencya Loan denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that may be discontinued or is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform.  Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-In Election with respect to any Term Benchmark Rate, Section 2.18(c)  provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest for such Term Benchmark Rate.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company, pursuant to Section 2.18(c), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on any Term Benchmark Rate Loans is based.  However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to the interbank offered rates or other rates in the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate”, “Adjusted EURIBO Rate” or “Adjusted TIBO Rate”any interest rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.18(c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.18(c)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the Eurocurrency Rateexisting interest rate being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offeredany existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.  The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any  interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrowers.  The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any interest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to any 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 calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.3 may be repaid and reborrowed during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period.  The Company hereby unconditionally promises to pay the unpaid principal amount of each Swing Line Loan on the earlier of the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date and the first date after such Swing Line Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) and is at least five (5) Business Days after such Swing Line Loan is made; provided that, on each date that a Revolving Loan is made, the Company will repay all Swing Line Loans that were outstanding on the date such Loan was requested to be made.  The Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment will expire on the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date and all Swing Line Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Swing Line Loans and the Revolving Credit Commitments will be paid in full no later than such date.
(b)    Borrowing Mechanics for Swing Line Loans.
(i)    Swing Line Loans will be made in an aggregate minimum amount of $200,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount.
(ii)    Whenever the Company desires that the Swing Line Lender make a Swing Line Loan, the Company will deliver to the Administrative Agent by Electronic Transmission a Funding Notice no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the proposed Credit Date.
(iii)    The Swing Line Lender will fund each Swing Line Loan by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Credit Date by wire transfer of same day funds in Dollars at the Payment Office.  Except as provided herein, upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein, the Administrative Agent will make the proceeds of such Swing Line Loans available to the Company on the applicable Credit Date by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Swing Line Loans received by the Administrative Agent from the Swing Line Lender to be credited to the account of the Company at the Payment Office, or to such other account as may be designated in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Company.

(iv)    With respect to any Swing Line Loans which have not been voluntarily prepaid by the Company pursuant to Section 2.13, the Swing Line Lender may at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, deliver to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Company), no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least one (1) Business Day in advance of the proposed Credit Date, a notice (which will be deemed to be a Funding Notice given by the Company, a “Swing Line Refunding Notice”) requesting that each Revolving Lender make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans to the Company on such Credit Date in an amount equal to the amount of such Swing Line Loans (the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given which the Swing Line Lender requests the Lenders to prepay.  Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (1) the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by the Lenders other than the Swing Line Lender will be immediately delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Swing Line Lender (and not to the Company) and applied to repay a corresponding portion of the Refunded Swing Line Loans and (2) on the day such Revolving Loans are made, the Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Refunded Swing Line Loans will be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan made by the Swing Line Lender to the Company (in its capacity as a Revolving Lender), and such portion of the Swing Line Loans deemed to be so paid will no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans and will no longer be due under the Swing Line Note of the Swing Line Lender but will instead constitute part of the Swing Line Lender’s (in its capacity as a Revolving Lender) outstanding Revolving Loans to the Company and will be due under the Revolving Loan Note issued by the Company to the Swing Line Lender (in its capacity as a Revolving Lender).  The Company hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender to charge the Company’s accounts with the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the Swing Line Lender the amount of the Refunded Swing Line Loans to the extent the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by the Lenders, including the Revolving Loans deemed to be made by the Swing Line Lender (in its capacity as a Revolving Lender), are not sufficient to repay in full the Refunded Swing Line Loans.  If any portion of any such amount paid (or deemed to be paid) to the Swing Line Lender should be recovered by or on behalf of the Company from the Swing Line Lender in bankruptcy, by assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered will be ratably shared among all of the Lenders in the manner contemplated by Section 2.17.
(v)    If for any reason Revolving Loans are not made pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(iv) in an amount sufficient to repay any amounts owed to the Swing Line Lender in respect of any outstanding Swing Line Loans on or before the third Business Day after demand by the Swing Line Lender for such Revolving Loans, each Revolving Lender will be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have purchased a participation in such outstanding Swing Line Loans, and in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the applicable unpaid amount together with accrued interest thereon.  Upon one (1) Business Days’ notice from the Swing Line Lender, each Revolving Lender will deliver to the Swing Line Lender an amount equal to its respective participation in the applicable unpaid amount in same day funds at the Payment Office of the Swing Line Lender.  In order to evidence such participation each Revolving Lender agrees to enter into a participation agreement at the request of the Swing Line Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Swing Line Lender.  In the event any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Swing Line Lender the amount of such Lender’s participation as provided in this paragraph, the Swing Line Lender will be entitled to

recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for three (3) Business Days at the rate customarily used by the Swing Line Lender for the correction of errors among banks and thereafter at the Base Rate, as applicable.
(vi)    Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (1) each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans for the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(iv) and each Revolving Lender’s obligation to purchase a participation in any unpaid Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(v) will be absolute and unconditional and will not be affected by any circumstance, including without limitation (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, any Credit Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default; (C) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Credit Party; (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other Credit Document by any party thereto; or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; and (2) the Swing Line Lender will not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loans (A) if it has elected not to do so after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or Event of Default or (B) so long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Company to eliminate the Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swing Line Loan, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Swing Line Loans and participating interests in any such Swing Line Loan will be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.22 (and Defaulting Lenders will not participate therein).
(c)    Resignation or Removal of the Swing Line Lender.  The Swing Line Lender may resign as the Swing Line Lender hereunder at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Revolving Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Company.  Following such notice of resignation, the Swing Line Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent and the successor Swing Line Lender.  In addition, the Administrative Agent may at any time replace the Swing Line Lender (to the extent the Swing Line Lender is not the Lender then acting as the Administrative Agent) with the Lender then acting as the Administrative Agent by providing not less than ten (10) Business Days’ written notice to the Company and the Lender then acting as the Swing Line Lender of such replacement.  In any such case, the Administrative Agent will notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of the Swing Line Lender.  At the time any such resignation or replacement will become effective, the Company will pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Swing Line Lender.  From and after the effective date of any such resignation or replacement, (i) the successor Swing Line Lender will have all the rights and obligations of the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swing Line Loans to be made by it thereafter and (ii) references herein and in the other Credit Documents to the term “Swing Line Lender” will be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swing Line Lender, or to such successor and all previous Swing Line Lenders, as the context may require.  After the resignation or replacement of the Swing Line Lender hereunder, the replaced Swing Line Lender will remain a party hereto and will continue to have all the rights and obligations of the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but will not be required to make additional Swing Line Loans.

(a)    Letters of Credit.  From time to time on any Business Day from the Closing Date through the earlier of the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date and the fifth Business Day prior to the date specified in clause (a) of the definition of “Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date,” subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Bank agrees to Issue, in accordance with such Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices, Letters of Credit for the account of the Company (which, at the Company’s discretion, may be issued on behalf of the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary) in the aggregate amount the Dollar Equivalent of which does not exceed the Letter of Credit Sub-limit; provided that the Revolving Credit Exposure does not exceed the Revolving Credit Limit; and provided further, that (i) each Letter of Credit will be denominated in Dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies (including any Additional Letter of Credit Currency agreed to by the applicable Issuing Bank); (ii) the stated amount of each Letter of Credit will not be less than $10,000 (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency), or such lesser amount as is acceptable to such applicable Issuing Bank; (iii) after giving effect to such Issuance, in no event will the Total Utilization of Revolving Credit Commitments exceed the Revolving Credit Limit then in effect; (iv) after giving effect to such Issuance, in no event will the Letter of Credit Usage exceed the Letter of Credit Sub-limit then in effect; and (v) in no event will any Letter of Credit have an expiration date that is not a Business Day or is later than the earlier of (1) the fifth Business Day prior to the date specified in clause (a) of the definition of “Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date” and (2) the date which is one year from the date of Issuance of such Letter of Credit or such later date as is acceptable to such applicable Issuing Bank in its sole and absolute discretion (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (1) above unless, at least five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, the Company shall cash collateralize the outstanding Letter of Credit Usage with respect to such Letter of Credit as set forth in Section 2.4(h)).  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate face amount of Letters of Credit issued by (w) JPMorgan shall not exceed $100,000,000 at any time, (x) BANA shall not exceed $100,000,000 at any time, (y) Citizens shall not exceed $100,000,000 at any time, and (z) Wells Fargo shall not exceed $75,000,000 at any time.  Subject to the foregoing, each Issuing Bank may agree that a Letter of Credit will automatically be extended for one or more successive periods not to exceed one year each (and in any event not to exceed the period prescribed in clause (v)(1) above); provided that no Issuing Bank will Issue any Letter of Credit if (A) any fee due in connection with, and on or prior to, the Issuance of such Letter of Credit has not been paid, (B) such Letter of Credit is requested to be Issued in a form that is not acceptable to such Issuing Bank or (C) such Issuing Bank will not have received, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to it and duly executed by the Company, the documents that such Issuing Bank generally uses in the ordinary course of business for the Issuance of letters of credit of the type of such Letter of Credit (collectively, the “L/C Reimbursement Agreement”); provided further, that so long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Issuing Bank will not be required to Issue any Letter of Credit unless the provisions of Section 2.22(c) have been satisfied.  No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue Letters of Credit if the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally.
(b)    Notice of Issuance.  Whenever the Company desires the Issuance of a Letter of Credit, it will deliver in a writing or Electronic Transmission to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent an Application or an Issuance Notice no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) at least three (3) Business Days, or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the applicable Issuing Bank in any particular instance, in advance of the proposed date of Issuance.  For each Issuance, the applicable Issuing Bank may, but will not be required to, determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 have been satisfied or waived in connection with the Issuance of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that no Letters of Credit will be Issued during the period starting on the first Business Day after the receipt by such Issuing Bank of notice from the Administrative Agent or the Lenders holding more than 50% of the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure

of all Lenders that any condition precedent contained in Section 3.2 is not satisfied and ending on the date all such conditions are satisfied or duly waived.  Upon receipt by the applicable Issuing Bank of the L/C Reimbursement Agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Bank and duly executed by the Company, the applicable Issuing Bank will Issue the requested Letter of Credit only in accordance with such Issuing Bank’s standard operating procedures.  Upon the Issuance of any Letter of Credit or amendment or modification to a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which will in turn promptly notify each Revolving Lender of such Issuance, which notice will be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment or modification to a Letter of Credit and the amount of such Lender’s respective participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4(e).  Each Issuing Bank further agrees to provide the Administrative Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, upon the request of the Administrative Agent (or any Revolving Lender through the Administrative Agent), copies of any Letter of Credit Issued by such Issuing Bank and any related L/C Reimbursement Agreement and such other documents and information as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent.  To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 2.4, the provisions of this Section 2.4 shall control.
(c)    Responsibility of the Issuing Banks With Respect to Requests for Drawings and Payments.  In determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the applicable Issuing Bank will be responsible only to examine the documents delivered under such Letter of Credit with reasonable care so as to determine whether they appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit.  The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable order) with respect to such a determination, such Issuing Bank will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in each such determination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, any Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.  As between the Company and the Issuing Banks, the Company assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit Issued by the Issuing Banks, by the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Banks will not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and Issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, email, cable, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Banks, including any Governmental Acts; none of the above will affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the Issuing Banks’ rights or powers hereunder.  Without limiting the foregoing and in furtherance thereof, any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Banks under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, will not give rise to any liability

on the part of the Issuing Banks to the Company.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.4(c), the Company will retain any and all rights it may have against the applicable Issuing Bank for any liability arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable order.
(d)    Reimbursement by the Company of Amounts Drawn or Paid Under Letters of Credit.  In the event any Issuing Bank has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit, it will immediately notify the Company and the Administrative Agent, and the Company will reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Issuing Bank, on or before the Business Day immediately following the date on which such drawing is honored (the “Reimbursement Date”) in an amount in Dollars (or, in the case of an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, in the applicable Alternative Currency) and in same day funds equal to the amount of such honored drawing; provided that anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) unless the Company will have notified the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank prior to 10:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the date such drawing is honored that the Company intends to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Loans, the Company will be deemed to have given a timely Funding Notice to the Administrative Agent requesting each Revolving Lender to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans on the Reimbursement Date in an amount in Dollars equal to the amount of such honored drawing (or, in the case of an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, Revolving Loans that are Term Benchmark or RFR Loans on the Reimbursement Date in an amount in the applicable Alternative Currency equal to the amount of such honored drawing; provided that if the L/C Disbursement was made in an Additional Letter of Credit Currency, then such deemed Funding Notice shall be for Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars in an aggregate amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such L/C Disbursement determined by reference to the Exchange Rate for the date on which such payment is required to be made), and (ii) without regard to the satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 3.2 (each of which conditions precedent the Revolving Lenders hereby irrevocably waive), each Revolving Lender will, on the Reimbursement Date, make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans in the amount in Dollars of such honored drawing (or, in the case of an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, Revolving Loans that are Term Benchmark or RFR Loans in an amount in the applicable Alternative Currency of such honored drawing; provided that if the L/C Disbursement was made in an Additional Letter of Credit Currency, then the Revolving Lenders shall make such Revolving Loans in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such L/C Disbursement determined by reference to the Exchange Rate for the date on which such Revolving Loan is required to be made), the proceeds of which will be applied directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing; and provided further, if for any reason proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by the applicable Issuing Bank on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such honored drawing, the Company will reimburse such Issuing Bank, on demand, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of such honored drawing over the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans, if any, which are so received.  Nothing in this Section 2.4(d) will be deemed to relieve any Revolving Lender from its obligation to make Revolving Loans on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and the Company will retain any and all rights it may have against any Lender resulting from the failure of such Lender to make such Revolving Loans under this Section 2.4(d).  If the Company’s reimbursement of, or obligation to reimburse, any amounts in any Alternative Currency would subject the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or any Lender to any stamp duty, ad valorem charge or similar Tax that would not be payable if such reimbursement were made or required to be made in Dollars, then the Company shall, at its option, either (x) pay the amount of any such Tax requested by the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or the applicable Lender(s) or (y) reimburse each L/C Disbursement made in such Alternative Currency in Dollars, in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent (calculated

using the applicable Exchange Rate on the date such L/C Disbursement is made) of such L/C Disbursement.
(e)    Lenders’ Purchase of Participations in Letters of Credit.  Immediately upon the Issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender will be deemed to have purchased, in each case, without recourse or warranty, and hereby agrees to irrevocably purchase, from the applicable Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and any drawings honored thereunder in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share (with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments) of the maximum amount which is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder.  In the event that the Company will fail for any reason to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank as provided in Section 2.4(d), the applicable Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent on behalf of each Revolving Lender of the unreimbursed amount of such honored drawing (and if such amount is payable in respect of an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit denominated in an Additional Letter of Credit Currency, such amount shall be converted to Dollars based on the Dollar Equivalent thereof) and of such Lender’s respective participation therein based on such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Commitments.  Each Revolving Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the applicable Issuing Bank an amount equal to its respective participation, in Dollars and in same day funds, at the office of the Issuing Bank specified in such notice, not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the first Business Day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such office of such Issuing Bank is located) after the date notified by such Issuing Bank.  In the event that any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the applicable Issuing Bank on such Business Day the amount of such Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this Section 2.4(e), such Issuing Bank will be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for three (3) Business Days at the rate customarily used by such Issuing Bank for the correction of errors among banks and thereafter at the Base Rate.  Nothing in this Section 2.4(e) will be deemed to prejudice the right of any Revolving Lender to recover from such Issuing Bank any amounts made available by such Lender to such Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section in the event that it is determined that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit in respect of which payment was made by such Lender constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Bank as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable order.  In the event such Issuing Bank will have been reimbursed by other Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.4(e) for all or any portion of any drawing honored by such Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank will distribute to the Administrative Agent, which will in turn distribute to each Revolving Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.4(e) with respect to such honored drawing, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments subsequently received by such Issuing Bank from the Company in reimbursement of such honored drawing when such payments are received.  Any such distribution will be made to a Lender at its primary address set forth below its name on Appendix B, in the administrative questionnaire delivered by such Lender to the Company and the Administrative Agent or at such other address as such Lender may request.
(f)    Obligations Absolute.  The obligation of the Company to reimburse the Issuing Banks for drawings honored under the Letters of Credit Issued by it and to repay any Revolving Loans made by the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.4(d) and the obligations of the Lenders under Section 2.4(e) will be unconditional and irrevocable and will be performed strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances including any of the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, any document transferring or purporting to transfer any Letter of Credit, any Credit Document (including the sufficiency of any such instrument), or any modification to any provision of any of the foregoing; (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense, abatement, recoupment or other right which the Company or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Banks, Lender or any other Person or, in the case of a Lender, against the Company,

US-DOCS\127474950.5136856043.2[[DMS:5943153v1:10/19/2022--07:40 PM]]






whether in connection herewith, the transactions contemplated herein or any transaction (including any underlying transaction between the Company or the Subsidiaries and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured); (iii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document which does not substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (v) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or any Subsidiary; (vi) any breach hereof or any other Credit Document by any party thereto; (vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; (viii) the fact that an Event of Default or a Default will have occurred and be continuing; or (ix) solely with respect to the obligations of the Lenders under Section 2.4(c), the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 3.2 to be satisfied (each of which conditions precedent the Revolving Lenders hereby irrevocably waive); provided that, in each case, that payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under the applicable Letter of Credit will not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable order under the circumstances in question.
(g)    Indemnification.  Without duplication of any obligation of the Company under Section 10.2 or Section 10.3, in addition to amounts payable as provided herein, the Company hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Issuing Banks from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) which the Issuing Banks may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the Issuance of any Letter of Credit by an Issuing Bank, other than as a result of (1) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable order or (2) the failure by such Issuing Bank to exercise reasonable care when determining whether a proper demand for payment is made under any Letter of Credit Issued by it, or (ii) the failure of an Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under any such Letter of Credit as a result of any Governmental Act.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.4(g) will not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.
(h)    Cash Collateralization of Letters of Credit.  In the event that any Letter of Credit is outstanding at the time that the Company prepays, or is required to repay, the Obligations, the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated or the Company requests, and an Issuing Bank agrees in its sole and absolute discretion, that a Letter of Credit expire on a date after the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, the Company will (i) deposit with the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of all Lenders having Revolving Credit Exposure, cash or Cash Equivalents in an amount equal to one hundred and three percent (103%) of the aggregate outstanding Letter of Credit Usage to be available to Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of Issuing Banks, to reimburse payments of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit and pay any fees and expenses related thereto and (ii) prepay the fee payable under Section 2.11(a)(ii) with respect to such Letters of Credit for the full remaining terms of such Letters of Credit.  All deposits made pursuant to preceding clause shall be made in Dollars or, with respect to Alternative Currency Letters of Credit, in the applicable Alternative Currency or as the applicable Issuing Bank may otherwise agree.  Upon termination of any such Letter of Credit and provided no Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing, the unearned portion of such prepaid fee attributable to such Letter of Credit will be refunded to the Company, together with the deposit described in the preceding clause (i) to the extent not previously applied by the Administrative Agent in the manner described herein.
(i)    Issuing Bank Agreements.  Each Issuing Bank agrees that, unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative

(b)    Register.  The Administrative Agent will maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Loans of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”).  The Register will be available for inspection by the Company or any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans) at any reasonable time from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  The Administrative Agent will record in the Register the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Loans, the currency and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from to time and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans, and any such recordation will be conclusive and binding on the Company and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, will not affect any Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments or the Company’s Obligations in respect of any Loan.

2.8    Interest on Loans.
(a)    Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Class of Loan will bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as follows:
						
	Class of Loans	Interest
	Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans	Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin

	Revolving Loans comprising each Eurocurrency RateTerm SOFR Borrowing
	Eurocurrency RateAdjusted Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin

	Revolving Loans comprising each EURIBOR Borrowing	Adjusted EURIBO Rate plus the Applicable Margin

US-DOCS\127474950.5136856043.2[[DMS:5943153v1:10/19/2022--07:40 PM]]






						
	Class of Loans	Interest
	Revolving Loans comprising each TIBOR Borrowing	Adjusted TIBO Rate plus the Applicable Margin

	Revolving Loans comprising each RFR Borrowing	Adjusted Daily Simple RFR for the currency of such Revolving Loans plus the Applicable Margin

	Swing Line Loans	Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin





(b)    The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan (except a Swing Line Loan which can be made and maintained as Base Rate Loans only) and the Interest Period with respect to any Term Benchmark Loan will be selected by the Company and notified to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be.  If on any day a Loan denominated in Dollars is outstanding with respect to which a Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice has not been delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day such Loan will be a Base Rate Loan.
(c)    In connection with Term Benchmark Loans there will be no more than ten (10) Interest Periods outstanding at any time with respect to any currency (unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent).  In the event the Company fails to specify between a Base Rate Loan or a Term Benchmark or RFR Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Loan (i) if denominated in Dollars and made to the Company or a Subsidiary Borrower that is a Domestic Subsidiary and outstanding as a Term Benchmark Loan, will be automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then-current Interest Period for such Loan (or if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, a Base Rate Loan), (ii) if denominated in euros, will be automatically deemed to be for EURIBOR Loans, (iii) if denominated in Sterling, will be automatically deemed to be for RFR Loans based on Adjusted Daily Simple SONIA, (iv) if denominated in Swiss Francs, will be automatically deemed to be for RFR Loans based on Adjusted Daily Simple SARON, or (v) if denominated in Japanese Yen, will be automatically deemed to be for TIBOR Loans.  In the event the Company fails to specify an Interest Period for any Term Benchmark Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Company will be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month.  Promptly after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination DateReference Time, the Administrative Agent will determine (which determination will, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that will apply to the Term Benchmark Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and will promptly give notice thereof (in writing, electronically or by telephone confirmed in writing or electronically) to the Company and each Lender.
(d)    Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.8(a) will be computed (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans on the basis of a 365-day year (or 366-day year, in the case of a leap year), (ii) in the case of Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Japanese Yen, RFR Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling, on the basis of a 365-day year (or 366-day year, in the case of a leap year), and (iii) in the case of Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars or euro and RFR Loans denominated in Swiss Francs, on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues.  In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars being converted from a Term Benchmark Loan, the date of conversion of such Term Benchmark Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, will be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the

expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a Term Benchmark Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such Term Benchmark Loan, as the case may be, will be excluded; provided that if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest will be paid on that Loan.
(e)    Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan will accrue on a daily basis and be payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date applicable to that Loan; (ii) any prepayment of that Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (iii) at maturity, including final maturity (or, in the case of Revolving Loans, such earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated) and, after such maturity (or termination), on each date on which demand for payment is made; provided, however, that, with respect to any voluntary prepayment of a Revolving Loan outstanding as a Base Rate Loan, accrued interest will instead be payable on the applicable Interest Payment Date.
(f)    The Company agrees to pay to the applicable Issuing Bank, with respect to drawings honored under any Letter of Credit, interest on the amount paid by such Issuing Bank in respect of each such honored drawing from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by or on behalf of the Company at a rate equal to (a) in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars (i) for the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the applicable Reimbursement Date, the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and (ii) thereafter, a rate which is 2.00% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans or (b) in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in any Alternative Currency (i) for the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the applicable Reimbursement Date, the applicable Alternative Currency Overnight Rate plus the Applicable Margin, and (ii) thereafter, a rate which is 2.00% per annum in excess of the applicable Alternative Currency Overnight Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
(g)    Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.8(f) will be computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues, and will be payable on demand or, if no demand is made, on the date on which the related drawing under a Letter of Credit is reimbursed in full.  Promptly upon receipt by an Issuing Bank of any payment of interest pursuant to Section 2.8(f), such Issuing Bank will distribute to the Administrative Agent, which will in turn distribute to each Lender, out of the interest received by such Issuing Bank in respect of the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date on which such Issuing Bank is reimbursed for the amount of such drawing (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of any Revolving Loans), the amount that such Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the letter of credit fee that would have been payable in respect of such Letter of Credit for such period if no drawing had been honored under such Letter of Credit.  In the event an Issuing Bank will have been reimbursed by the Lenders for all or any portion of such honored drawing, such Issuing Bank will distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under Section 2.4(e) with respect to such honored drawing such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any interest received by such Issuing Bank in respect of that portion of such honored drawing so reimbursed by the Lenders for the period from the date on which such Issuing Bank was so reimbursed by the Lenders to but excluding the date on which such portion of such honored drawing is reimbursed by the Company.

(ii)    upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Term Benchmark Loan denominated in (A) Dollars, to continue all or any portion of such Loan equal to the corresponding minimum and integral multiple Dollar amount set forth in Section 2.2(b)(i) as a Term Benchmark Loan and (B) any Alternative Currency, to continue all or any portion of such Revolving Loan equal to the corresponding minimum and integral multiple for such Alternative Currency set forth in Section 2.2(b)(i).
(b)    The Company will deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice to the Administrative Agent by Electronic Transmission no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least (i) one (1) Business Day in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at least, (ii) three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation dateConversion/Continuation Date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Term Benchmark Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency) and (iii) three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days in advance of the proposed Conversion/Continuation Date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Term Benchmark Loan denominated in Dollars).

	Swing Line Loans	$50,000	$50,000	Same day


Any amounts received after such time on such date will be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day.

Company shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount.
(b)    [Reserved].
(c)    The Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) will promptly distribute to each Lender at such address as such Lender may indicate in writing, (i) such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due to such Lender pursuant to Sections 2.8, 2.10, 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14, and (ii) all other amounts due to such Lender, including all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by the Administrative Agent.

(f)    The Administrative Agent may deem any payment by or on behalf of the Company hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 12:00 noon (New York City time) to be a non-conforming payment.  Any such payment will not be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds and (ii) the applicable next Business Day.  The Administrative Agent will give prompt written notice to the Company if any payment is non-conforming.  Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 8.1(a).

The Company expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by the Company to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Term Benchmark Loan then being requested by the Company pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Company will have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 2.18(d), to rescind such Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice as to all Lenders by giving written notice to Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission the Administrative Agent will promptly transmit to each other Lender).

(d)    Without duplication of Section 2.20(b) or Section 2.20(c), the Credit Parties will indemnify and reimburse, within 10 days after receipt of a written demand therefor (with copy to the Administrative Agent), each Recipient for all Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.20) imposed on or with respect to any payment made by the Credit Parties hereunder, and any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.  Any Recipient claiming indemnity pursuant to this Section 2.20(d) will notify the Credit Parties of the imposition of the relevant Indemnified Taxes as soon as practicable after the Recipient becomes aware of such imposition.  A certificate of the Recipient (or of the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Recipient) claiming any compensation under this clause (d), setting forth in reasonable detail the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to the Company with copy to the Administrative Agent, will be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(e)    Without limiting Section 2.21, any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.20 will use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Law) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if such a change would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
(f)    Withholding Certifications.
(i)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document will deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, will deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.20(f)(ii)(1), Section 2.20(f)(ii)(2) and Section 2.20(f)(ii)(4) below) will 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:
(1)    any U.S. Lender will deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent, properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-9 (certifying that such U.S. Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax);
(2)    Any Non-U.S. Lender will, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as will be requested by the recipient), on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
i)    in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Credit Document, properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Credit Document, properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
ii)    properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
iii)    in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10-percent shareholder” of the Company within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8-BEN-E; or
iv)    to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W- 8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9 and/or other certification documents

from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that, if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(3)    any Non-U.S. Lender will, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as will be requested by the recipient), on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(4)    if a payment made to a Recipient under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Recipient will deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this Section 2.20(f)(ii)(4), “FATCA” will include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Recipient agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it will update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g)    Any Administrative Agent that (i) is a U.S. Person will deliver to the Company, on or prior to the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company), properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Administrative Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax or (ii) is not a U.S. Person will deliver to the Company, on or prior to the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company), properly completed and executed copies of (A) IRS Form W-8IMY for payments that the Administrative Agent does not receive for its own account, certifying that it is either a “U.S. branch” within the meaning of US Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv)(A) or a “Qualifying Intermediary” that assumes primary withholding responsibility under Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 of the Code and for Form 1099 reporting and

backup withholding and (B) IRS Form W-8ECI for payments that the Administrative Agent receives for its own account.
(h)    If any Recipient determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith that it has received a refund (which for purposes of this paragraph shall include a credit received in lieu of a refund) of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.20 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20), it will pay to the Company an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made or additional amounts paid under this Section 2.20 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses of such Recipient and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  The Company, upon the request of such Recipient, will repay to such Recipient the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.20(h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges properly imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the Recipient be required to pay any amount to a Credit Party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the 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 paragraph will 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 Credit Party or any other Person.
(i)    Each Lender will severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.1(g) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit 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 will 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 Credit 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 Section 2.20(i).
(j)    Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.20 will survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of right by, or the replacement of, a Recipient.
(k)    For purposes of this Section 2.20, the term “Lender” shall include any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
2.21    Obligation to Mitigate.  Each Lender (which term includes each Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.21) agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Loans or Letters of Credit, as the case may be, becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or

regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts (a) to make, fund or maintain its Loans, including any Affected Loans, or Issue its Letters of Credit, in each case through another office of such Lender, or (b) to take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, Issue, funding or maintaining of such Revolving Credit Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Revolving Credit Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit or the interests of such Lender; provided that such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section 2.21 unless the Company agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office as described above.  A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.21 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) will be conclusive absent manifest error.
2.22    Defaulting Lenders.  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:
(a)    during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will be deemed not to be a “Lender” for purposes of voting on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers, except with respect to Section 10.5(b) or any other matter which matter disproportionately affects such Defaulting Lender) with respect to any of the Credit Documents;
(b)    to the extent permitted by applicable law, until such time as the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender has been reduced to zero, any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.4 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’ fronting exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.4(h); fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), 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 Company, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’ future fronting exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.4(h); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Banks or the Swing Line 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 or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Company as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Company against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Letter of Credit Usage in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made or the related

[[5943153]]

Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Letter of Credit Usage owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Letter of Credit Usage owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments, without giving effect to Section 2.22(c).  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 2.22(b) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.  Such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to receive (i) any increased rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.10 and (ii) any fee pursuant to Section 2.11(a) or Section 2.11(c), in each case, in respect of any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender;
(c)    all or any part of a Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Obligations and Swing Line Loans will be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Credit Commitments on a pro rata basis according to their Revolving Credit Commitments (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause any non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure (defined, solely for purposes of this clause (c), by reference to clause (b) of the definition of “Revolving Credit Exposure”) at such time to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment (it being understood that no reallocation hereunder will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender against a Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation); provided that:
(i)    if the reallocation described in this clause (c) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company will, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under Law, within one (1) Business Day following written notice by the Administrative Agent (A) prepay the Swing Line Loans of such Defaulting Lender in an amount equal to the amount by which such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Line Loans exceed the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Line Loans reallocated pursuant to this clause (c) (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to this clause (c)) and (B) cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s portion of the Revolving Credit Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to this clause (c)) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.4(h) for so long as such Revolving Credit Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit is outstanding;
(ii)    if the Company cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit pursuant to this proviso, the Company will not be required to pay any letter of credit participation fee to such Defaulting Lender during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit is cash collateralized;
(iii)    if the Revolving Credit Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this clause (c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(i) will be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ reallocated Revolving Credit Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit; and
(iv)    if any Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this clause (c), 
109
[[5943153]]
US-DOCS\127474950.5136856043.2[[DMS:5943153v1:10/19/2022--07:40 PM]]






then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Banks or any Lender hereunder, all commitment fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment that was utilized by such Revolving Credit Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit) and letter of credit participation fee payable with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit will be payable to the applicable Issuing Banks until such Revolving Credit Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit is cash collateralized and/or reallocated;
(d)    the Total Utilization of Revolving Credit Commitments as at any date of determination will be calculated as if such Defaulting Lender has funded all Defaulted Loans.  No Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender will be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.22, performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and the other Credit Documents will not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of any Funding Default or the operation of this Section 2.22.  The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.22 are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Company may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default and that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default; and
(e)    as long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Defaulting Lender without penalty or premium; provided that the Required Lenders shall have consented to such prepayment and/or termination.
For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Funding Default” means, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, the occurrence of any of the events set forth in the definition of “Defaulting Lender,” and (ii) “Defaulted Loan” means any Loan of a Defaulting Lender with respect to which such Defaulting Lender is a Defaulting Lender.
2.23    Removal or Replacement of a Lender.  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that:
(a)    (i) any Lender (an “Increased Cost Lender”) gives notice to the Company that such Lender is an Affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20, (ii) the circumstances that have caused such Lender to be an Affected Lender or that entitle such Lender to receive such payments remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender fails to withdraw such notice within five (5) Business Days after Borrower’s request for such withdrawal; or
(b)    (i) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (ii) the Default Period for such Defaulting Lender remains in effect, and (iii) such Defaulting Lender fails to cure the default as a result of which it has become a Defaulting Lender within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s request that it cure such default; or
(c)    in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions of a Credit Document as contemplated by Section 10.5(b), the consent of Required Lenders with respect to which has been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required has not been obtained;
then, with respect to each such Increased Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), the Company may, by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent and any

Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans and its Revolving Credit Commitments, if any, in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 and the Company will pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from an Increased Cost Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender and the Defaulting Lender will pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from such Defaulting Lender; provided that (1) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender must pay to a Terminated Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender, (B) an amount equal to all unreimbursed drawings that have been funded by such Terminated Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.11; (2) on the date of such assignment, the Company must pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(d), 2.18(d), 2.19 or 2.20; and (3) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender will consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender; provided that the Company may not make such election with respect to any Terminated Lender that is also an Issuing Bank unless, prior to the effectiveness of such election, the Company has caused each outstanding Letter of Credit Issued thereby to be cancelled, backstopped or cash collateralized.  Upon the assignment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the termination or assignment of such Terminated Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments, if any, such Terminated Lender will no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided that any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder will survive as to such Terminated Lender.  Each Lender agrees that if the Company exercises its option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Lender as a Non-Consenting Lender or Terminated Lender, such Lender will, promptly after receipt of written notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment in accordance with Section 10.6.  In the event that a Lender does not comply with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence within one (1) Business Day after receipt of such notice, each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power of attorney will be coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver such documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in accordance with Section 10.6 on behalf of a Non-Consenting Lender or Terminated Lender and any such documentation so executed by the Administrative Agent will be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 10.6.
2.24    Incremental Facilities.
(a)    Notice.  At any time and from time to time, on one or more occasions, any Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, increase the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Commitments on the same terms as the then-existing Revolving Credit Commitments (the “Incremental Facilities” and the revolving loans and other extensions of credit made thereunder, the “Incremental Loans”); provided that any such increase may result in a commensurate increase in the Alternative Currency Sub-limit if agreed to by the Company and the institutions providing such Incremental Facility.
(b)    Ranking.  Incremental Facilities will (i) rank pari passu in right of payment and security with the Initial Revolving Commitments (subject to Section 8.3) and (ii) be secured by the same Liens (with the same ranking in priority) that secure the Initial Revolving Commitments.
(c)    Size.  The aggregate principal amount of Incremental Facilities on any date Indebtedness thereunder is first committed will not exceed the Incremental Amount.  Each Incremental Facility will be in an integral multiple of $10,000,000 and in an aggregate principal amount that is not less

than $10,000,000 (or such lesser minimum amount approved by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion); provided that such amount may be less than such minimum amount or integral multiple amount if such amount represents all the remaining availability under the limit set forth above.
(d)    Incremental Lenders.  Incremental Facilities may be provided by any existing Lender (it being understood that no existing Lender will have an obligation to make all or any portion of any Incremental Loan) or by any Additional Lender on terms permitted by this Section 2.24; provided that the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and/or the Swing Line Lender will have consented (in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to any such Person’s providing Incremental Facilities if such consent would be required under Section 10.6(c)(ii) for an assignment of Revolving Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments to such Person.
(e)    Incremental Facility Amendments; Use of Proceeds.  Each Incremental Facility will become effective pursuant to an amendment (each, an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Credit Documents, executed by the Company, each Person providing such Incremental Facility and the Administrative Agent.  Incremental Amendments may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable good faith opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Company, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.24.  Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, as applicable, will be amended to the extent necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Facility and the Incremental Loans evidenced thereby.  This Section 2.24 will supersede any provisions in Section 2.17 or 10.5 to the contrary.  The Company may use the proceeds of the Incremental Loans for any purpose permitted by this Agreement.
(f)    Conditions.  The availability of Incremental Facilities under this Agreement will be subject solely to the following conditions, subject in each case to Section 1.5:
(i)    no Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing on the date such Incremental Loans are incurred or would occur immediately after giving effect thereto; provided that the condition set forth in this clause (i) may be waived (or not required) (other than with respect to Events of Default under Section 8.1(a), (f) or (g)) by the Persons providing such Incremental Facility if the proceeds of such Incremental Facility will be used to finance, in whole or in part, a Permitted Investment or the purchase or other acquisition of property and assets or business of any Person or of assets constituting a business unit, a line of business or division of such Person, a facility or Capital Stock in a Person; and
(ii)    the representations and warranties in the Credit Documents will be true and correct in all material respects (except for representations and warranties that are already qualified by materiality, which representations and warranties will be true and correct in all respects) immediately prior to, and immediately after giving effect to, the incurrence of such Incremental Facility; provided that if such Incremental Facility is being provided in connection with a Permitted Investment, the condition set forth in this clause (ii) may be satisfied with (x) the accuracy of Specified Representations and customary “acquisition agreement representations” and (y) such other limitations or exceptions to representations and warranties as may be agreed by the lenders providing such Incremental Facility).

(i)    each Revolving Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each lender providing a portion of such increase (each an “Incremental Facility Lender”), and each such Incremental Facility Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (1) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (2) participations hereunder in Swing Line Loans held by each Revolving Lender will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders represented by such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments; and
(ii)    if, on the date of such increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding, such Revolving Loans will on or prior to the effectiveness of such Incremental Facility be prepaid from the proceeds of Incremental Loans made hereunder (reflecting such increase in Revolving Credit Commitments), which prepayment will be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Revolving Lender in accordance with Section 2.18(d).  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement will not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(5)    the principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, will be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.  The principal amount of any non-interest bearing Indebtedness or other discount security constituting Indebtedness at any date will be the principal amount thereof that would be shown on a balance sheet of the Company dated such date prepared in accordance with GAAP;
(6)    in the event that an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the clauses of this Section 6.1, the Company may, in its sole discretion, at the time of incurrence, divide, classify or reclassify, or at any later time divide, classify or reclassify, such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this covenant; provided that all Indebtedness created pursuant to the Credit Documents will be deemed to have been incurred in reliance on the exception in clause (a) above, and shall not be permitted to be reclassified pursuant to this paragraph (other than in connection with a refinancing thereof pursuant to a separate exception to this covenant);
(7)    for the avoidance of doubt, if the Company or any Subsidiary incurs Incremental Loans using a ratio-based test on the same date that it incurs Indebtedness under any Dollar-based Cap, then the ratio-based test will be calculated with respect to such incurrence under the ratio-based test without regard to any incurrence of such Indebtedness under the Dollar-based Cap;
(8)    in the case of any Permitted Refinancing of Indebtedness, (x) the original amount of Refinanced Indebtedness (including with respect to successive Permitted Refinancings) will continue to be considered to have been incurred under the clause of this Section 6.1 in reliance on which such Refinanced Indebtedness was initially incurred (or to which such Refinanced Indebtedness at such time has been classified, as applicable), and (y) if Refinanced Indebtedness was initially incurred in reliance on (or at such time has been classified to, as applicable) a clause of this Section 6.1 that is subject to a Cap, and such Permitted Refinancing would cause such Cap to be exceeded, then such Cap will be deemed not to be exceeded to the extent that the aggregate principal amount of the Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to replace the Refinanced Indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Refinancing Amount; and
(9)    notwithstanding anything to the contrary under any Credit Document, (i) obligations incurred by the Company or a Subsidiary to a third party which do not constitute Indebtedness (including for the avoidance of doubt guarantees for (x) trade obligations incurred by the Company’s Affiliates in the ordinary course of business and (y) Indebtedness or trade obligations of other Persons in which the Company or its Affiliates have made an Investment not otherwise prohibited under Section 6.6) and (ii) contractual indemnities, not having substantially the same effect as a guarantee, given in the ordinary course of business, in each case of sub-clauses (i) and (ii) shall not be restricted by this covenant or any other covenant under the Credit Documents.

(1)    except to the extent an Investment was made using the Available Amount, to the extent any Investment in any Person is made in compliance with this Section 6.6 in reliance on a clause above that is subject to a Cap and, subsequently, such Person returns to the Company, any other Credit Party or, to the extent applicable, any Subsidiary all or any portion of such Investment (in the form of a dividend, distribution, liquidation or otherwise but excluding intercompany Indebtedness), such return shall be

deemed to be credited to the clause of this Section 6.6 against which the Investment is then charged, but in any event not in an amount that would result in the aggregate dollar amount able to be invested in reliance on such category to exceed such Cap;
(2)    for purposes of determining compliance with any Cap on the making of Investments, the Dollar equivalent amount of the Investment denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Investment was made;
(3)    in the event that any Investment (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the clauses of this Section 6.6, the Company may, in its sole discretion, at the time of making such Investment, divide, classify or reclassify, or at any later time divide, classify or reclassify, such Investment (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this covenant.

SECTION 7.    GUARANTY
7.1    Guaranty of the Obligations.  Subject to the provisions of Section 7.2, the Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties the due and punctual payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations when the same will become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)).  In addition, in order to induce the Lenders to extend credit to the other Subsidiary Borrowers hereunder, the Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the payment when and as due of the Obligations of the Subsidiary Borrowers.  The Company further agrees that the due and punctual payment of such Obligations of the Subsidiary Borrowers may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee hereunder notwithstanding any such extension or renewal of any such Obligation.  The Guaranty provided in this Section 7 amends and restates, and replaces, the entirety of the Subsidiary Guaranty (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement).
7.2    Contribution by Guarantors.  All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty.  Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor will be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date.  “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in

[[5943153]]
US-DOCS\127474950.5136856043.2[[DMS:5943153v1:10/19/2022--07:40 PM]]






respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.  “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided that, solely for purposes of calculating the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 7.2, any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder will not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor.  “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to the sum of (1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including in respect of this Section 7.2), minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 7.2.  The amounts payable as contributions hereunder will be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor.  The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 7.2 will not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder.  Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 7.2.
7.3    Liability of Guarantors Absolute.  Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and will not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:
(a)    this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability;
(b)    this Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety;
(c)    the Administrative Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between the Company and any Secured Party with respect to whether such Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(d)    the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Company and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of the Company, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against the Company or any of such other guarantors and whether or not the Company is joined in any such action or actions;
(e)    payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations will in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment will not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment will not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(f)    any Secured Party, upon such terms as it deems appropriate (subject to the provisions of the Credit Documents), without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Secured Party in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Secured Party may have against any such security, in each case as such Secured Party in its discretion may determine consistent herewith or the applicable Secured Rate Contract or Bank Product Agreement and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against the Company or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Credit Documents, the Secured Rate Contracts or the Bank Product Agreements; and
(g)    this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder will be valid and enforceable and will not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor will have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Credit Documents, the Secured Rate Contracts or the Bank Product Agreements, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Credit Documents, any of the Secured Rate Contracts, the Bank Product Agreements or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Credit Document, such Secured Rate Contract, such Bank Product Agreements or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Credit Documents, any of the Secured Rate Contracts, any Bank Product Agreements or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Secured Party might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any Secured Party’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Company or any Subsidiary and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which the

Company may allege or assert against any Secured Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.
7.4    Waivers by Guarantors.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of the Secured Parties: (a) any right to require any Secured Party, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against the Company, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Company, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any credit on the books of any Secured Party in favor of the Company or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Secured Party whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of the Company or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of the Company or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Secured Party’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, the Secured Rate Contracts, the Bank Product Agreements or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to the Company and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 7.3 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank and all amounts drawn thereunder have been reimbursed in full, each Guarantor will withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 7.2.  Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against the Company or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, will be junior and subordinate to any rights any Secured Party may have against the Company, to all right, title and interest any Secured Party may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Secured Party may have against such other guarantor.  If any amount will be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations will not have been finally and indefeasibly paid in full, such amount will be held in trust for the Administrative Agent on behalf of Secured Parties and will forthwith be paid over to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.
7.6    Subordination of Other Obligations.  Any Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the “Obligee Guarantor”) is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such Indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing will be held in trust for the Administrative Agent on behalf of Secured Parties and will forthwith be paid over to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof.
7.7    Continuing Guaranty.  This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and will remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations will have been paid in full and the Revolving Credit Commitments will have terminated and all Letters of Credit have been cancelled, or have expired or have been cash collateralized or otherwise backstopped in a manner satisfactory to the Issuing Banks and all amounts drawn thereunder have been reimbursed in full.  Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.
7.8    Authority of Guarantors or the Company.  It is not necessary for any Secured Party to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or the Company or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.
7.9    Financial Condition of the Company.  Any Credit Extension may be made to the Company or continued from time to time, and any Rate Contracts may be entered into from time to time, in each case without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of the Company at the time of any such grant or continuation or at the time such Rate Contracts is entered into, as the case may be.  No Secured Party will have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of the Company.  Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from the Company on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of the Company and their ability to perform their obligations under the Credit Documents and the Rate Contracts, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Company and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations.  Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any

duty on the part of any Secured Party to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of the Company now known or hereafter known by any Secured Party.
7.10    Bankruptcy, etc.
(a)    The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder will not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of the Company or any other Guarantor or by any defense which the Company or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.
(b)    Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) will be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of the Guarantors and Secured Parties that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve the Company of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations.  Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person to pay the Administrative Agent, or allow the claim of the Administrative Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.
(c)    In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by the Company, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder will continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Secured Party as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered will constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.
7.11    Discharge of Guaranty upon Sale of Guarantor.  If, in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Credit Documents, (a) all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor or any of its successors in interest hereunder or (b) all or substantially all of the property of any Guarantor is sold, disposed of or otherwise transferred (such Guarantor, a “Transferred Guarantor”) to any Person (other than any other Credit Party), such Transferred Guarantor will, upon the consummation of such sale, disposition or other transfer (including by merger or consolidation), automatically be discharged and released, without any further action by any Secured Party or any other Person, effective as of the time of such sale, disposition or other transfer, from its obligations under this Agreement (including under Sections 10.2 and 10.3) and the other Credit Documents, including its obligations to pledge and grant any Collateral owned by it pursuant to any Collateral Document and, in the case of the sale of all of the Capital Stock of such Transferred Guarantor, the pledge of such Capital Stock to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents will be released, and the Collateral Agent will take, and the Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent to take, such actions as are necessary or desirable to effect each discharge and release described in this Section 7.11 in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Collateral Documents.
7.12    General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations.  In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other Law affecting the rights of creditors generally,

if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 7.1 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 7.1, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability will, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Credit Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 7.2 and the right of subrogation) that is valid and enforceable, not void or voidable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.
7.13    Keepwell.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor that is the Company or a Domestic Subsidiary of the Company hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Credit Party to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor will only be liable under this Section 7.13 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 7.13, or otherwise under this Guaranty, voidable under applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount).  The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 7.13 will remain in full force and effect until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full and the Revolving Credit Commitments will have terminated, and all Loans or other Obligations hereunder which are accrued and payable have been paid or satisfied and all Letters of Credit will have expired (without any pending drawing) or have been cancelled or cash collateralized in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 7.13 constitute, and this Section 7.13 will be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Credit Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

In carrying out the foregoing, (a) amounts received will be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category and (b) each of the Persons entitled to receive a payment in any particular category will receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of amounts available to be applied pursuant thereto for such category.
SECTION 9.    AGENTS
9.1    Appointment and Duties.
(a)    Appointment of Agent.  Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby appoints JPMorgan (together with any successor Agent pursuant to Section 9.9) as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereunder and authorizes each such Agent to (i) execute and deliver the Credit Documents and accept delivery thereof on its behalf from any Credit Party, (ii) take such action on its behalf and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies and perform the duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent under such Credit Documents and (iii) exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Lenders (including in its capacity as a potential Secured Swap Provider or a Bank Product Provider) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of (and to hold any security interest created by the Collateral Documents for and on behalf of or in trust for) such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Credit Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.  In this connection, the Collateral Agent (and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 9.4 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 Collateral Agent), will be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Section 9 (including Section 9.8(b), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Credit Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.  The provisions of this Section 9 are solely for the benefit of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders and no Credit Party will have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions thereof.  In performing its functions and duties hereunder, each Agent will act solely as an agent of the Lenders and does not assume and will not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Company or any Subsidiary.
(b)    Duties as Collateral and Disbursing Agent.  Without limiting the generality of clause (a) above, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, will each have the right and authority (to the exclusion of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks), and is hereby authorized, to (i) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for the Lenders and the Issuing Banks with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Credit Documents (including in any proceeding described in Section 8.1(f) or (g) or any other bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding), and each Person making any payment in connection with any Credit Document to any Secured Party is hereby authorized to make such payment to such Agent, (ii) file and prove claims and file other documents necessary or desirable to allow the claims of the Secured Parties with respect to any Obligation in any proceeding described in Section 8.1(f) or (g) or any other bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding (but not to vote, consent or otherwise act on behalf of such Person), (iii) act as collateral agent for each Secured Party for purposes of the perfection of all Liens created by such agreements and all other purposes stated therein, (iv) manage, supervise and otherwise deal with the Collateral, (v) take such other action as is necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection and priority of the Liens created or purported to be created by the Credit Documents, (vi) except as may be otherwise specified in any Credit Document, exercise all remedies given to such Agent and the other Secured Parties with respect to the Credit Parties and/or the Collateral, whether under the Credit Documents, applicable Law or otherwise and (vii) execute any amendment, consent or waiver under the Credit

Documents on behalf of any Lender that has consented in writing to such amendment, consent or waiver; provided, however, that each such Agent hereby appoints, authorizes and directs each Lender and the Issuing Bank to act as collateral sub-agent for such Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks for purposes of the perfection of all Liens with respect to the Collateral, including any deposit account maintained by a Credit Party with, and cash and Cash Equivalents held by, such Lender or Issuing Bank, and may further authorize and direct the Lenders and the Issuing Banks to take further actions as collateral sub-agents for purposes of enforcing such Liens or otherwise to transfer the Collateral subject thereto to such Agent, and each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby agrees to take such further actions to the extent, and only to the extent, so authorized and directed.
(c)    Limited Duties.  Under the Credit Documents, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (i) is acting solely on behalf of the Secured Parties (except to the limited extent provided in Section 2.7(b) with respect to the Register), with duties that are entirely administrative in nature, notwithstanding the use of the defined terms “Administrative Agent,” “Collateral Agent,” “Agent,” the terms “agent” and “collateral agent” and similar terms in any Credit Document to refer to such Agent, which terms are used for title purposes only, (ii) is not assuming any obligation under any Credit Document other than as expressly set forth therein or any role as agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender, Issuing Bank or other Person and (iii) will have no implied functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or other liabilities under any Credit Document, and each Secured Party, by accepting the benefits of the Credit Documents, hereby waives and agrees not to assert any claim against such Agent based on the roles, duties and legal relationships expressly disclaimed in clauses (i) through (iii) above.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.  Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
9.2    Binding Effect.  Each Secured Party, by accepting the benefits of the Credit Documents, agrees that (a) any action taken by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if expressly required hereby, a greater proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Documents, (b) any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in reliance upon the instructions of Required Lenders (or, where so required, such greater proportion) and (c) the exercise by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders (or, where so required, such greater proportion) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, will be authorized and binding upon all of the Secured Parties.

Lender or Issuing Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party that may come in to the possession of such Agent or any of its Related Persons.
(b)    If any Lender or Issuing Bank has elected to abstain from receiving Nonpublic Information concerning the Credit Parties or their Affiliates, such Lender or Issuing Bank acknowledges that, notwithstanding such election, the Administrative Agent and/or the Credit Parties will, from time to time, make available syndicate-information (which may contain Nonpublic Information) as required by the terms of, or in the course of administering the Loans to the credit contact(s) identified for receipt of such information on the Lender’s administrative questionnaire who are able to receive and use all syndicate-level information (which may contain Nonpublic Information) in accordance with such Lender’s compliance policies and contractual obligations and applicable Law, including federal and state securities laws; provided that if such contact is not so identified in such questionnaire, the relevant Lender or Issuing Bank hereby agrees to promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) provide such a contact to the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties upon request therefor by the Administrative Agent or the Credit Parties.  Notwithstanding such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s election to abstain from receiving material non-public information, such Lender or Issuing Bank acknowledges that if such Lender or Issuing Bank chooses to communicate with the Administrative Agent, it assumes the risk of receiving Nonpublic Information concerning the Credit Parties or their Affiliates.

9.8    Expenses; Indemnities; Withholding.
(a)    Each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each of their respective Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Credit Party) promptly upon demand, severally and ratably, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, for any costs and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of financial, legal and other advisors and Other Taxes paid in the name of, or on behalf of, any Credit Party) that may be incurred by such Agent or any of its Related Persons in connection with the preparation, syndication, execution, delivery, administration, modification, consent, waiver or enforcement of, or the taking of any other action (whether through negotiations, through any work-out, bankruptcy, restructuring or other legal or other proceeding (including preparation for and/or response to any subpoena or request for document production relating thereto) or otherwise) in respect of, or legal advice with respect to, its rights or responsibilities under, any Credit Document.

act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any such document, or, in each case, any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Agent or any of its Related Persons under or with respect to any of the foregoing (IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY AGENT OR RELATED PERSON); provided, however, that no Lender will be liable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of their respective Related Persons to the extent such liability has resulted solely and directly for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, claims, suits, judgments, litigations, investigations, inquiries or proceedings, costs, expenses or disbursements which have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order.  No Lender shall be liable under this Section or otherwise for any failure of another Lender to satisfy such other Lender’s obligations under the Credit Documents.
(c)    To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender under a Credit Document an amount equal to any applicable withholding tax.  If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that such Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate certification form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or fails to establish an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax with respect to a particular type of payment, or because such Lender failed to notify such Agent or any other Person of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), or such Agent reasonably determines that it was required to withhold taxes from a prior payment but failed to do so, such Lender will promptly indemnify such Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by such Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and together with all expenses incurred by such Agent, including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may offset against any payment to any Lender under a Credit Document, any applicable withholding tax that was required to be withheld from any prior payment to such Lender but which was not so withheld, as well as any other amounts for which such Agent is entitled to indemnification from such Lender under this Section 9.8(c).
9.9    Resignation of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Issuing Bank.
(a)    Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may resign at any time by delivering notice of such resignation to the Lenders and the Company, effective on the date set forth in such notice or, if no such date is set forth therein, upon the date such notice will be effective, in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.9.  If such Agent delivers any such notice, the Required Lenders will have the right, subject to the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), at all times other than during the continuation of an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a), (f) or (g), to appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable.  The Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective on the earliest of (i) 30 days after delivery of the notice of resignation (regardless of whether a successor has been appointed or not), (ii) the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent by the Required Lenders or (iii) such other date, if any, agreed to by the Required Lenders.  If, after 30 days after the date of such retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, no successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, has been appointed by the Required Lenders that has accepted such appointment, then such retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, from among the Lenders or a commercial banking institution organized under the laws of the United States (or any State thereof) or a United States branch or agency of a commercial banking institution, in each case, having combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000.  Each appointment under this clause (a)

will be subject to the prior consent of the Company, which will not be unreasonably withheld but will not be required during the continuance of an Event of Default.
(b)    Effective immediately upon its resignation, (i) any retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent will be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lender or the Issuing Banks under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed), (ii) the Lenders will assume and perform all of the duties of such Agent until a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, will have accepted a valid appointment hereunder, (iii) such retiring Agent and its Related Persons will no longer have the benefit of any provision of any Credit Document as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, other than with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken while such retiring Agent was, or because such Agent had been, validly acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, under the Credit Documents and (iv) subject to its rights under Section 9.3, such retiring Agent will take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the applicable successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent its rights as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, under the Credit Documents.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 and Sections 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.10, 10.14, 10.15, and 10.16 will inure to its benefit, its sub-agents and their respective affiliates benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder.  Effective immediately upon the acceptance of a valid appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent by a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, such successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent will succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such retiring Agent under the Credit Documents and the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent will promptly (A) transfer to its successor all sums, Securities and other items of Collateral held under the Collateral Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent under the Credit Documents, and (B) execute and deliver to such successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent of the security interests created under the Collateral Documents.
(c)    Any Issuing Bank may resign at any time by delivering notice of such resignation to the Administrative Agent, effective on the date set forth in such notice or, if no such date is set forth therein, on the date such notice will be effective.  Upon such resignation, the applicable Issuing Bank will remain an Issuing Bank and will retain its rights and obligations in its capacity as such (other than any obligation to Issue Letters of Credit but including the right to receive fees or to have Lenders participate in any L/C Reimbursement Agreement Obligation thereof) with respect to Letters of Credit Issued by such Issuing Bank prior to the date of such resignation and will otherwise be discharged from all other duties and obligations under the Credit Documents.
9.10    Release of Collateral or Guarantors(a)    .
(a)    Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby consents to the release and hereby directs the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to release (or, in the case of clause (b)(ii) below, release or subordinate) the following:

Lender and each of their respective Related Persons (each, an “Indemnitee”), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided that no Credit Party will have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities (i) arise from (A) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee or its Related Persons as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable order or (B) any material breach of the obligations of that Indemnitee or its Related Persons under this Agreement or any other Credit Document as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable order, (ii) relate to any dispute solely among Indemnitees other than (A) claims against an Agent, in its capacity as such or in fulfilling its role as an Agent, and (B) claims arising out of any act or omission on the part of any Credit Party or any Subsidiary or Affiliates or (iii) any settlement entered into by any Indemnitee or of any Related Person in connection with the foregoing without the Company’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), but, if such settlement occurs with Borrower’s written consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff in any action or claim with respect to any of the foregoing, the Company will be liable for such settlement or for such final judgment.  To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 10.3 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the applicable Credit Party will contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.  The Credit Parties agree that, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, the Credit Parties will not enter into any settlement of a Claim in respect of which indemnification could have been sought by an Indemnitee under this Section 10.3(a) unless such settlement includes an explicit and unconditional release from the party bringing such Claim of all Indemnitees which could have sought indemnification with respect to such Claim under this Section 10.3(a).  This Section 10.3 will not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.
(b)    To the extent that the Credit Parties fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required to be paid by them to the Agents, the Issuing Banks or the Swing Line Lender under Sections 10.3(a) in accordance with Section 9.8(b), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the applicable Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, 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) of such unpaid amount (such indemnity will be effective whether or not the related losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses are incurred or asserted by any party hereto or any third party); provided that the unreimbursed Claim was incurred by or asserted against any of the Agents, the Issuing Banks or the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such.
(c)    No Indemnitee will be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems (including the Platform) and neither any Indemnitee nor any Credit Party (or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, controlling Persons, controlled affiliates or agents) will be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages in connection with the Transactions, this Agreement or any other Credit Document (including the Facilities and the use of proceeds hereunder), or with respect to any activities or other transactions related to the Facilities; provided that nothing contained in this sentence limits the Credit Parties’ indemnity and reimbursement obligations to the extent such special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder.
10.4    Set-Off.  In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default each Lender is hereby authorized by each Credit Party at any time or from time to time subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), without notice to any

Credit Party or to any other Person (other than the Administrative Agent), any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of any Credit Party to such Lender hereunder, the Letters of Credit and participations therein and under the other Credit Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected hereto, the Letters of Credit and participations therein or with any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not (a) such Lender will have made any demand hereunder or (b) the principal of or the interest on the Loans or any amounts in respect of the Letters of Credit or any other amounts due hereunder will have become due and payable pursuant to Section 2 and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 10.4 shall provide any Lender with any recourse against Excluded Assets.
10.5    Amendments and Waivers.
(a)    Required Consents.  No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Credit Documents, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, will in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Required Lenders, except the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Company only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender or Issuing Bank, provided that no such amendment will become effective until the fifth Business Day after it has been posted to the Lenders, and then only if the Required Lenders have not objected in writing within such five (5) Business Day period, (ii) to enter into additional or supplemental Collateral Documents, (iii) to release Collateral or Guarantors in accordance with Section 9 of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents and (iv) any Fee Letter may be amended by the parties thereto without the consent of any other Person.

provided that (x) any change to the definition of Total Net Leverage Ratio or in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction in the unused commitment fees, and the agreement, consent or waiver by the Required Lenders of unused commitment fees as set forth in the paragraph immediately succeeding the table in the definition of “Applicable Commitment Fee Rate” in Section 1.1 shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for, or a reduction in the amount of, any payment of interest or any payment of fees, and (y) the Required Lenders may waive any increase in the interest rate applicable to any Loan or other Obligation pursuant to Section 2.10.
(c)    Other Consents.  No amendment, waiver or consent will, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, in addition to the Required Lenders or all Lenders directly affected thereby, as the case may be (or by Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders or all the Lenders directly affected thereby, as the case may be), affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Banks, as applicable, in its capacity as such, under this Agreement or any other Credit Document.  Further, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Credit Documents, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, will:
(i)    increase or extend any Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender; provided that (x) no amendment, modification or waiver of any condition precedent, covenant, Default or Event of Default (other than any Default or Event of Default arising from the failure to pay any amounts otherwise then due and payable hereunder) will constitute an increase in or extension of any Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender, and (y) any change to the definition of Total Net Leverage Ratio or in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute an increase or extension of any Revolving Credit Commitment and the agreement, consent or waiver by the Required Lenders of interest or unused commitment fees as set forth in the paragraph immediately succeeding the applicable table in the definition of “Applicable Commitment Fee Rate” in Section 1.1 shall not constitute an increase or extension of any Revolving Credit Commitment;
(ii)    amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision hereunder relating to the Swing Line Sub-limit or the Swing Line Loans without the consent of the Swing Line Lender and the Required Lenders;
(iii)    alter the required application of any repayments or prepayments (including payments made from proceeds of Collateral) as between Classes pursuant to Section 2.15 or Section 8.3 or modify Section 2.17 without the consent of all Lenders, Bank Product Providers and Secured Swap Providers of each class otherwise entitled thereto which is being allocated a lesser repayment or prepayment (including payments

made from proceeds of Collateral) as a result thereof; provided that Required Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any prepayment so long as the application, as between Classes, of any portion of such prepayment which is still required to be made is not altered;
(iv)    amend, modify, terminate or waive any obligation of the Lenders relating to the purchase of participations in Letters of Credit as provided in Section 2.4(e) without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and of the Issuing Banks and the Required Lenders;
(v)    amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of Section 9 as the same applies to any Agent, or any other provision hereof as the same applies to the rights or obligations of any Agent, in each case without the consent of such Agent; or
(vi)    amend, waive or otherwise modify any provision of the paragraph immediately succeeding the table in the definition of “Applicable Commitment Fee Rate” in Section 1.1 without the consent of the Required Lenders (but no consent of other Lenders shall be required); or
(vii)    amend, modify or waive any condition precedent set forth in Section 3.2 with respect to making Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit without the consent of the Required Lenders.
(d)    Execution of Amendments, etc.  The Administrative Agent may, but will have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender.  Any waiver or consent will be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.  No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case will entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.  Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 10.5 will be binding upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by a Credit Party, on such Credit Party.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit will not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether any Agent, any Lender or Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.  No notice or demand on the Company or any other Credit Party in any case will entitle the Company or any other Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(e)    Intercreditor Agreements and Subordination Agreements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Lender consent is required to effect (i) the entry into, amendment or supplement to any Intercreditor Agreement or any Subordination Agreement, in any such case that is (A) for the purpose of adding the holders of Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness, Junior Lien Indebtedness or Subordinated Debt (or a Debt Representative with respect thereto), as applicable, permitted hereunder as parties thereto (regardless of whether also constituting another category of Indebtedness hereunder), as expressly contemplated by the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement or such Subordination Agreement (it being understood that any such amendment or supplement may make such other changes to the applicable intercreditor or subordination agreement as determined by the Administrative Agent, are required to effectuate the foregoing; provided that such other changes are not adverse, in any material respect, to the interests of the Lenders) or (B) expressly contemplated by any Intercreditor Agreement or any Subordination Agreement.

(f)    Additional Amendments Provisions.
(i)    Nothing herein will be deemed to prohibit an amendment and/or amendment and restatement of this Agreement consented to by the Required Lenders, the Company and the Administrative Agent (A) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement (it being understood that no Lender will have any obligation to provide or to commit to provide all or any portion of any such additional credit facility) and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the Revolving Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (B) to effect the amendments contemplated by the proviso in Section 10.5(b)(viii) and such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent to provide for such additional credit facility.
(g)    Extension.
(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Company to all Lenders having Revolving Credit Commitments with a like commitment termination date, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amounts of Revolving Credit Commitments) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Company is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the commitment termination of each such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments of such class, and, subject to the terms hereof, otherwise modify the terms of such Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including by increasing the interest rate and/or fees payable in respect of such Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings) (each, an “Extension;” and each group of Revolving Credit Commitments, in each case as so extended, as well as the original Revolving Credit Commitments (in each case not so extended), being a separate “tranche”), so long as the following terms are satisfied:
(1)    no Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing at the time the Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders or at the time of such Extension; and
(2)    except as to interest rates, fees and final commitment termination date (which will be determined by the Company and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer, subject to acceptance by the applicable Lenders), the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Revolving Credit Commitment extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Credit Commitment”) and the related outstandings will be a Revolving Credit Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms (or terms not less favorable to existing Lenders holding Revolving Credit Commitments) as the original Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings); provided that (1) the borrowing and payments (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings), (B) repayments required upon the commitment termination date of the non-extending tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments and (C) repayment made in

connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of Revolving Loans with respect to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments after the applicable Extension date will be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Credit Commitments, (2) subject to Section 10.5(c), all Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit will be participated in on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments (including Extended Revolving Credit Commitments) in accordance with their percentage of the Revolving Credit Commitments, (3) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and related Revolving Loans will be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to the other Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Loans and (4) at no time will there be Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and any existing Revolving Credit Commitments) which have more than two (2) different maturity dates.
(ii)    If the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of which a Lender will have accepted the relevant Extension Offer will exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Commitments offered to be extended by the Company pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender will be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal or commitment amounts with respect to which such Lender have accepted such Extension Offer.  With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Company pursuant to this Section, (i) such Extensions will not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Sections 2.13 or 2.14 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment; provided that the Company may at its election specify as a condition to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Company’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Company) of Revolving Credit Commitments (as applicable) of any or all applicable tranches be tendered.  The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swing Line Lender and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit or conflict with any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section.
(iii)    No consent of any Lender, any Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent will be required to effectuate any Extension, other than (A) the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Revolving Credit Commitments (or a portion thereof) and (B) with respect to any Extension of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the consent of the Issuing Banks and the Swing Line Lender.  All Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof will be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and secured by the same Liens on the Collateral that secure all other applicable Obligations.  The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the Company (on behalf of all Credit Parties) as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Revolving Credit Commitments so extended and such technical amendments

[[5943153]]
US-DOCS\127474950.5136856043.2[[DMS:5943153v1:10/19/2022--07:40 PM]]






as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Company in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section (any such amendment, an “Extension Amendment”).  In addition, if so provided in such amendment and with the consent of the Issuing Banks, participations in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the applicable commitment termination date will be re-allocated from Lenders holding non-extended Revolving Credit Commitments to Lenders holding Extended Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with the terms of such amendment; provided, however, that such participation interests will, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding Revolving Credit Commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such Revolving Credit Commitments and the terms of such participation interests will be adjusted accordingly.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of the effectiveness of each such Extension Amendment.
(iv)    In connection with any Extension, the Company will provide the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and will agree to such procedures (including regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 10.5(g).  This Section 10.5(g) will supersede any provisions of this Section 10.5 or Section 2.17 or 10.4 to the contrary.
10.6    Successors and Assigns; Participations.
(a)    Generally.  This Agreement will be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and will inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of the Lenders.  No Credit Party’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or delegated by any Credit Party without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders.  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, will be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Affiliates of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)    Register.  Each Credit Party, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders will deem and treat the Persons listed as the Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Revolving Credit Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Revolving Credit Commitment or Loan (whether or not evidenced by a Note) will be effective, in each case, unless and until recorded in the Register following receipt of an Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof, together with the required forms and certificates regarding Tax matters and any fees payable in connection with such assignment, in each case, as provided in Section 10.6(d).  Each assignment will be recorded in the Register following receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Assignment Agreement, applicable know-your-customer documentation, and recordation and processing fee.  The date of such recordation of a transfer will be referred to herein as the “Assignment Effective Date.”  Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender will be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Revolving Credit Commitments or Loans.

(c)    Right to Assign.  Each Lender will have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment or Loans owing to it or other Obligation (provided that, pro rata assignments will not be required, but each such assignment will be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any Loan and any related Revolving Credit Commitment):
(i)    to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (a) or clause (c) of the definition of “Eligible Assignee” upon the giving of notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent and, for any assignment of Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Revolving Loans, consented to by each of the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Banks (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and
(ii)    to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (b) of the definition of “Eligible Assignee” and consented to by each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Banks (each such consent not to be (x) unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and (y) in the case of the Company, required at any time an Event of Default will have occurred and then be continuing); provided that (1) the Company’s refusal to accept an assignment to a Disqualified Lender will be deemed to be reasonable, (2) the Company’s consent will be required with respect to any assignments to Disqualified Lenders and (3) the Company will be deemed to have consented to any such assignment (other than to an assignment to a Disqualified Lender) unless it will object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received written notice thereof; provided further, that each such assignment pursuant to this Section 10.6(c)(ii) will be in an aggregate amount of not less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Company and the Administrative Agent or as will constitute the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Loans of the assigning Lender) with respect to the assignment of the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Loans.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no assignment may be made (A) to a Natural Person or (B) to a Disqualified Lender and, to the extent that any assignment of any Loan and/or related Revolving Credit Commitment is purported to be made to a Disqualified Lender, such Person shall be required immediately (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) to assign all Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments then owned by such Person to another Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) or Eligible Assignee at a purchase price equal to the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Person paid to acquire such Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, in each case, plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder (and the Company shall be entitled to seek specific performance in any applicable court of law or equity to enforce this sentence).
(d)    Mechanics.  Assignments and assumptions of Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments will only be effected by manual execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of an Assignment Agreement and will be effective as of the applicable Assignment Effective Date.  In connection with all assignments there will be delivered to the Administrative Agent such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver pursuant to Section 2.20(f), together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.

(e)    Representations and Warranties of Assignee.  Each Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon succeeding to an interest in the Revolving Credit Commitments and Loans, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of the Assignment Effective Date that (i) (A) it is an Eligible Assignee and (B) it is not a Disqualified Lender, it being acknowledged by the Credit Parties, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties that the Administrative Agent will be entitled to rely on such representations and warranties set forth in this clause (i) without any diligence in respect to the accuracy of such representations and warranties and any breach of such representations and warranties by such Lender will not give rise to any liability on the part of the Administrative Agent; and (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments or Loans, as the case may be.
(f)    Effect of Assignment.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.6, as of the Assignment Effective Date (i) the assignee thereunder will have the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder to the extent of its interest in the Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments as reflected in the Register and will thereafter be a party hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof; (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder will, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to the assignee, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section 10.8) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender will cease to be a party hereto on the Assignment Effective Date; provided that anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, (A) the Issuing Banks will continue to have all rights and obligations thereof with respect to such Letters of Credit until the cancellation or expiration of such Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder and (B) such assigning Lender will continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder); (iii) the Revolving Credit Commitments will be modified to reflect the Revolving Credit Commitment of such assignee and any Revolving Credit Commitment of such assigning Lender, if any; and (iv) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder, the assigning Lender will, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to the Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon the Company will issue and deliver new Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Revolving Credit Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with clauses (b) through (f) will be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (g).
(g)    Participations.  Each Lender will have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person (other than to (x) a Disqualified Lender or (y) the Company or its Affiliates) in all or any part of its Revolving Credit Commitments, Loans or in any other Obligation; provided that (x) the Administrative Agent may provide a list of Disqualified Lenders to any Lender upon the request of such Lender pursuant to Section 2.7(c) and (y) with respect to any participation by a Lender to a Disqualified Lender or, to the extent the Company’s consent is required under this Section 10.6, to any other Person, such participation will not be rendered void as a result but the Company shall be entitled to pursue any remedy available to them (whether at law or in equity, including specific performance to unwind such participation) against the Lender and such Disqualified Lender, as applicable, but in no case shall the Company or any other Person be entitled to pursue any remedy against the Administrative Agent.  The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, will not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (i) extend the scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the

Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitment will not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Revolving Credit Commitment or Loan will be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder or release all or substantially all of the aggregate value of the guarantees in which such participant is participating.  The Company agrees that each participant will be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18(d), 2.19 and 2.20 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section; provided that (i) the participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.21 and 2.23 as if it were an assignee under Section 10.6(c), (ii) a participant will not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.19 or 2.20 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent to the participant and (iii) a participant that would be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender will not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.20 unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such participant and such participant agrees, for the benefit of the Company, to comply with Section 2.20 as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.20(f) or Section 2.20(g) will be delivered to the participant).  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Company’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to effectuate the provisions of Sections 2.21 and 2.23 with respect to any participant.  To the extent permitted by law, each participant also will be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.4 as though it were a Lender; provided that such participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17 as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation or makes a grant to an SPC pursuant to Section 10.6(i), acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, will maintain a register on which it records the name and address of each participant or SPC, as applicable, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s or SPC’s interest in the Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments (each, a “Participant Register”).  The entries in the Participant Register will be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender, the Company and the Administrative Agent will treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  No Lender will have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or SPC or any information relating to a participant’s or SPC’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) or proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Treasury Regulations (or any amended or successor version).
(h)    Certain Other Assignments and Participations.  In addition to any other assignment or participation permitted pursuant to this Section 10.6, any Lender may assign and/or pledge all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender, including, without limitation, to any Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank or any such other central bank; provided that no Lender, as between the Company and such Lender, will be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge; provided further, in no event will the applicable Federal

Reserve Bank, central bank, pledgee or trustee be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.  Without limiting the foregoing, in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans or similar extensions of credit, such Lender may, without the consent of Borrower, the Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender, the Administrative Agent or any other Person, collaterally assign or pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, including the Loans and Notes or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement, to any holder of, trustee for, or any other representative of holders of, obligations owed or securities issued, by such fund, as security for such obligations or securities.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as the Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Company, the option to provide to the Company all or any part of any Revolving Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Company pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein will constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender will be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof; provided further, that nothing herein will make the SPC a “Lender” for the purposes of this Agreement, obligate the Company or any other Credit Party or the Administrative Agent to deal with such SPC directly, obligate the Company or any other Credit Party in any manner to any greater extent than it was obligated to the Granting Lender, or increase costs or expenses of the Company.  The Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent will be entitled to deal solely with, and obtain good discharge from, the Granting Lender and will not be required to investigate or otherwise seek the consent or approval of any SPC, including for the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Credit Document.  The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder will utilize the Revolving Credit Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender.  Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC will be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which will remain with the Granting Lender).  In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement will survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof.  In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.6(i), any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Company and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Company and the Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
10.7    Independence of Covenants; Interpretation.  All covenants hereunder will be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant will not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.  Any dispute regarding the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default will be resolved by the Company and the Required Lenders (or Administrative Agent), and no Person other than the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent) will assert that a Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing.
10.8    Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements.  All representations, warranties and agreements made herein will survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension.  Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Credit Party set forth in Sections 2.18, 2.19, 2.20, 10.2, 10.3, 10.14, 10.15 and 10.16 and the agreements of the Lenders set forth in Sections 2.17, 9.5, 9.6, 9.8 and 10.17 will survive the termination of all Revolving Credit Commitments, the cancellation or expiration of the Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder, and the termination hereof, and the payment in full of all other Obligations.
10.9    No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.  No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document will impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege.  The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and will be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents or any of the Secured Rate Contracts or any of the Bank Product Agreements.  Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder will not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor will it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.
10.10    Marshalling; Payments Set Aside.  No Agent or any Lender will be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.  To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (or to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders), or the Administrative Agent or the Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law, any equitable cause or any intercreditor arrangement contemplated hereunder, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, will be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
10.11    Severability.  In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or any Note will be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

10.12    Obligations Several; Independent Nature of the Lenders’ Rights.
(a)    The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender will be responsible for the obligations or Revolving Credit Commitment of any other Lender hereunder.  Nothing contained herein or in any other Credit Document, and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, will be deemed to constitute the Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity.  The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender will be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender will be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it will not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
(b)    Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it will act collectively through the Administrative Agent and, without limiting the delegation of authority to the Administrative Agent set forth herein, the Required Lenders will direct the Administrative Agent with respect to the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder (including with respect to alleging the existence or occurrence of, and exercising rights and remedies as a result of, any Default or Event of Default in each case that could be waived with the consent of the Required Lenders), and such rights and remedies will not be exercised other than through the Administrative Agent.
10.13    Headings.  Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and will not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

(b)    Each Subsidiary Borrower irrevocably designates and appoints the Company, as its authorized agent, to accept and acknowledge on its behalf, service of any and all process which may be served in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 10.15(a) in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State, County and City of New York. The Company hereby represents, warrants and confirms that the Company has agreed to accept such appointment. Said designation and appointment shall be irrevocable by each such Subsidiary Borrower until all Revolving Loans, all reimbursement obligations, interest thereon and all other amounts payable by such Subsidiary Borrower hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall have been paid in full in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof and such Subsidiary Borrower shall have been terminated as a Borrower hereunder pursuant to Section 2.25.

being served in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 10.15(a) in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State, County and City of New York by service of process upon the Company as provided in this Section 10.15(b); provided that, to the extent lawful and possible, notice of said service upon such agent shall be mailed by registered or certified air mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Company and (if applicable to) such Subsidiary Borrower at its address set forth in the Subsidiary Borrower Agreement to which it is a party or to any other address of which such Subsidiary Borrower shall have given written notice to the Administrative Agent (with a copy thereof to the Company). Each Subsidiary Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all claim of error by reason of any such service in such manner and agrees that such service shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon such Subsidiary Borrower in any such suit, action or proceeding and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be taken and held to be valid and personal service upon and personal delivery to such Subsidiary Borrower. To the extent any Subsidiary Borrower has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether from service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of a judgment, execution or otherwise), each Subsidiary Borrower hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under the Credit Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Credit Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT EACH HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF REVIEWING THIS JURY WAIVER WITH LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS.
10.17    Confidentiality; Tombstones; Etc.
(a)    Confidentiality.  Each Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender will (A) not furnish any Nonpublic Information identified as such by the Company to any other Person and (B) treat all Nonpublic Information with the same degree of care as it treats its own confidential information, it being understood and agreed by the Company that, in any event, an Agent, an Issuing Bank or a Lender may make (i) disclosures of such information to creditors of any such Lender, Affiliates of such Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, to their and such Affiliates’ shareholders, officers, directors, employees, legal counsel, independent auditors and other experts, advisors or agents who need to know such information in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, are informed of the confidential nature of such information and are instructed to keep such information confidential (and to other Persons authorized by an Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 10.17) other than any Disqualified Lender, (ii) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it, (iii) disclosures required or requested by any Governmental Authority or self-regulatory authority or representative thereof or by the NAIC or pursuant to legal or judicial process, including in connection with assignments or pledges made pursuant to Section 10.6(h); provided that, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law, court order or any Governmental Authority or representative thereof, each Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender will notify the Company of any request by any Governmental Authority or

representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender (or such Lender’s Affiliates to whom disclosure has been made pursuant to the preceding clause (i)) by such Governmental Authority or representative thereof or self-regulatory authority or any such request pursuant to the Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978) for disclosure of any such Nonpublic Information prior to disclosure of such information, (iv) disclosures in connection with the enforcement of its rights under any Credit Document, (v) disclosures to any other party to this Agreement, (vi) disclosures to an actual or prospective investor in an SPC (provided that such investor is not a Disqualified Lender and is advised of and agrees to be bound by either the provisions of this Section 10.17 or other provisions at least as restrictive as this Section 10.17), (vii) disclosures with the consent of the Company, (viii) disclosures to potential assignees, participants and credit support providers who are, in any such case, subject to an agreement containing provisions at least as restrictive as those contained in this Section 10.17 (it being understood that in no event shall such disclosure be made to any Disqualified Lender) and (ix) disclosures to the extent such Nonpublic Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.17 or (B) becomes available to such Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or any Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates that is not known by such Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender to be subject to confidentiality obligations to the Company or any Subsidiary or their respective Affiliate.  In addition, each Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.  For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender disclose Nonpublic Information to any Disqualified Lender unless such disclosure is otherwise consented to by the Company.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document, each Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender acknowledges and agrees that, solely in the case of trade secrets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, the Company shall identify the proposed disclosure of such trade secrets prior to actual disclosure thereof and if such Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender provides its express written consent to such receipt of such trade secrets, then such Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender hereby agrees to keep such trade secrets confidential in perpetuity; provided that (i) each Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender shall be permitted to decline to receive such trade secrets upon its express prior written consent and (ii) if any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender so declines to receive such trade secrets, then the Company and the Subsidiaries shall be permitted to withhold such trade secrets from such Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be.
(b)    Tombstones.  Each Credit Party consents to the publication by the Administrative Agent of advertisements in financial and other newspapers and periodicals or on a home page or similar place for dissemination of information on the Internet or worldwide web as it may choose, and the circulation of similar promotional materials, on and following the Closing Date in the form of a “tombstone” or otherwise, containing information customarily included in such advertisements and materials, including (i) the names of the Company and its Affiliates (or any of them), (ii) the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates’ titles and roles in connection with the Transactions and (iii) the amount, type and closing date of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Loans.
10.18    Usury Savings Clause.  Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law will not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate.  If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder will bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement 
196
[[5943153]]
US-DOCS\127474950.5136856043.2[[DMS:5943153v1:10/19/2022--07:40 PM]]






had at all times been in effect.  In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Company will pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the Lenders and the Company to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws.  Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess will be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, will at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Company.
10.19    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered will be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together will constitute but one and the same instrument.  Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart.  Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or Electronic Transmission will be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
10.20    No Strict Construction.  The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.  In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.
10.21    Effectiveness; Entire Agreement.  This Agreement will become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by the Company and the Administrative Agent of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof.
10.22    No Fiduciary Duty.  Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Credit Parties.  Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees:
(a)    nothing in the Credit Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Lenders and each Credit Party, its stockholders or its affiliates;
(b)    the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and each Credit Party, on the other;
(c)    in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each of the Lenders is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of any Credit Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person;
(d)    no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Credit Party with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender or any of its affiliates has advised or is currently advising any Credit Party on other matters) or any other obligation to any Credit Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents;
197
[[5943153]]
US-DOCS\127474950.5136856043.2[[DMS:5943153v1:10/19/2022--07:40 PM]]








(e)    each Credit Party has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate;
(f)    each Credit Party is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto; and
(g)    no Credit Party will claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to any Credit Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
10.23    No Third Parties Benefit.  This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Company, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks party hereto, the Agents and each other Secured Party, and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person will be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents.  No Agent or any Lender will have any obligation to any Person not a party to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents.
10.24    PATRIOT Act.  Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Credit Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Credit Parties, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Credit Parties in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.
10.25    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an EEA 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 EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Credit Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
10.26    Acknowledgement Regarding any Supported QFCs.
To the extent that the Credit Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Rate Contracts or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer

Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Credit Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
(a)    In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Credit Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Credit Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
(b)    As used in this Section, the following terms have the following meanings:
“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.
“Covered Entity” means any of the following:
(a)    a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);
(b)    a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or
(c)    a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).
“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).
10.27    Judgment Currency.
(a)    The Credit Parties’ obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents to make payments in Dollars shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than Dollars, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent, the respective Lender or 
199

US-DOCS\127474950.5136856043.2[[DMS:5943153v1:10/19/2022--07:40 PM]]






the applicable Issuing Bank of the full amount of Dollars expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender or such Issuing Bank under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Credit Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than Dollars (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in Dollars, the conversion shall be made at the Dollar Equivalent determined as of the Calculation Date immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given.
(b)    If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Calculation Date described in clause (a) above and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Credit Parties shall pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of Dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Calculation Date.
(c)    For purposes of determining the Dollar Equivalent or any other rate of exchange for this Section 10.27, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of Dollars.
10.28    Amendment and Restatement.  This Agreement is an amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement (which in turn was an amendment and restatement of the Original Credit Agreement).  This Agreement does not extinguish, discharge or release the Obligations (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement, the “Existing Obligations”) outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement except to the extent such Obligations are paid as of the Closing Date, Collateral Agent’s Liens securing the Existing Obligations or the priority of any mortgage, pledge, security agreement or any other security therefor.  For the avoidance of doubt, each of Kaman Lux and Kaman Aerospace Group, Inc. confirms for the benefit of the Secured Parties that, the Lien created by it pursuant to a Luxembourg law governed share pledge agreement dated 22 June 2016 between, amongst others, Kaman Aerospace Group, Inc. as pledgor, JPMorgan, as administrative agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and Kaman Lux shall (a) remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the amendments referred to in this amendment and restatement agreement of the Existing Credit Agreement and (b) continue to secure its Obligations under the Credit Documents as amended (including, but not limited to, under this Agreement).  Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the Existing Obligations, which shall remain in full force and effect, except to the extent such Obligations are paid as of the Closing Date or except as modified hereby or by instruments and agreements executed concurrently herewith.  Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement shall be construed as a release or other discharge of any Borrower or any other Credit Party under the Existing Credit Agreement and the Credit Documents entered into in connection therewith from any of its obligations and liabilities as “Company”, a “Borrower,” a “Guarantor” or a “Credit Party” thereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision in any Credit Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, upon the effectiveness of this Agreement:
(a)    Kaman UK will be, and hereby is, irrevocably released as a “Subsidiary Borrower”, as a “Borrower” and as a “Guarantor” under the Credit Documents and from and after the Closing Date Kaman UK shall not constitute a Subsidiary Borrower, a Borrower or a Guarantor hereunder, and that certain Equitable Share Mortgage, dated February 5, 2013 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time) by and between Kaman Aerospace Group, Inc., as mortgagor, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.., as administrative agent, shall be terminated, released and extinguished;
