of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, or converted into, Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans or SOFR Loans, in each case denominated in Dollars or in an Alternative Currency, as applicable, provided that all Revolving Loans made as
part of the same Revolving Borrowing shall consist of Revolving Loans of the same Type; (ii) may be repaid or prepaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof; and (iii) shall not be made if, after giving effect to any such
Revolving Loan, (A) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender would exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, or (B) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure plus the principal amount of Swing Loans would exceed (1) the Maximum Loan
Available Amount less (2) the outstanding balance of all of the Term Loans. The Revolving Loans to be made by each Lender will be made by such Lender on a pro rata basis based upon such Lender’s Revolving Loan Applicable Percentage of each
Revolving Borrowing, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof. 
 (b) Term Loan. On the
Effective Date, each Lender that has a Term Commitment severally, and not jointly, agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make a Term Loan to the Borrower pursuant to such Lender’s Term Commitment, which Term Loans:
(i) can only be incurred on the Effective Date in the entire amount of each Lender’s Term Commitment; (ii) once prepaid or repaid, may not be reborrowed; (iii) may, except as set forth herein, at the option of the Borrower, be
incurred and maintained as, or converted into, Term Loans that are Base Rate Loans, SOFR Loans or CDOR Loans, in each case denominated in Dollars or in an Alternative Currency, as applicable, provided that all Term Loans made as part of the same
Term Borrowing shall consist of Term Loans of the same Type; (iv) shall be repaid in accordance with Section 2.09(b); and (v) shall not exceed (A) for any Lender at the time of incurrence thereof the aggregate principal amount of

 47 












 Section 2.02 Loans and Borrowings. 

(a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of such Class made by the Lenders of such
Class ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class. The failure of any Lender of such Class to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that
the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required. 

(b) Subject to Section 2.13, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Base Rate Loans, Daily
Simple SOFR Loans, Term SOFR Loans and/or CDOR Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Swingline Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Each Lender at its option may make any SOFR Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or
Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any SOFR Borrowing or CDOR Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an
aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 or C$100,000, as applicable, and not less than $1,000,000 or C$1,000,000, as applicable. At the time that each Base Rate Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that
is an integral multiple of $100,000 or C$100,000, as applicable, and not less than $1,000,000 or C$1,000,000, as applicable, provided that a Base Rate Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the
total Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e). Borrowings of any Class of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there
shall not at any time be more than a total of five (5) SOFR Borrowings and five (5) Borrowings at the CDOR Rate outstanding. 

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to
convert or continue, any Borrowing of any Class if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the applicable Maturity Date for such Class. 

(e) All Canadian Dollar Loans shall be Loans based on the CDOR Rate. 

  
 48 












 Section 2.03 Requests for Borrowings. 

(a) To request a Borrowing (other than a Borrowing of Term Loans on the Effective Date), the Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Pacific, Los Angeles, California time, two (2) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing (and three

California time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly (and in any event, within five (5) Business Days) by hand delivery or telecopy to the
Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto and hereby made a part hereof and signed by the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information
in compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i) the Class and aggregate amount of the requested
Borrowing; 
 (ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; 

(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing, a Term SOFR Borrowing, a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing or a CDOR
Borrowing; 
 (iv) the applicable currency of the Borrowing; 

(v) in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing or CDOR Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a
period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and 
 (vi) the location and number of
the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.07. 

Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the
Administrative Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower entitled to give
telephonic notices under this Agreement on behalf of the Borrower. In each such case, the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing
is specified in the Borrowing Request, then the requested Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Borrowing. If no election is specified as to whether a SOFR Borrowing is to be a Term SOFR Loan or Daily Simple SOFR Loan, then the requested Borrowing shall be
a Daily Simple SOFR Loan. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Term SOFR Loan or CDOR Loan, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of
a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the applicable Class and the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

 Section 2.04 Swingline. 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans in Dollars or in

exceeding $25,000,000.00, (ii) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of the Lenders exceeding the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders, or (iii) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of the Revolving Lenders exceeding
(A) the total Maximum Loan Available Amount less (B) the outstanding balance of all of the Term Loans, and in all events no Swingline Loan shall be outstanding for more than ten (10) Business Days; provided that no Swingline Lender
shall be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans during the
Availability Period. The Swingline Lender shall not have any obligation to make a Swingline Loan if a default of any Revolving Lender’s obligations to fund any amount under this Agreement exists or any Revolving Lender is at such time a
Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the Administrative Agent has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or such Revolving Lender to eliminate the Swingline Lender’s risk with respect to such Revolving Lender (with cash
collateral pledged to the Administrative Agent in the amount of such defaulting Revolving Lender’s or Defaulting Lender’s pro rata portion of the Swingline Loan being deemed satisfactory). 

(b) To request a Borrowing of Swingline Loans, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone
(confirmed by telecopy), not later than 2:00 p.m., Boston, Massachusetts time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the
requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make a Swingline Loan in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the requested
Borrowing available to the Borrower by means of a credit to a general deposit account at the discretion of the Borrower (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in
Section 2.05(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank) by 3:00 p.m., Boston, Massachusetts time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. 

(c) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., Boston,
Massachusetts time, on any Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which
Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Applicable Percentage of such
Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, within two (2) Business Days after receipt of notice 

  
 50 












 
as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loans. Each
Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and
continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever, provided no Revolving Lender shall be required to acquire a
participation in a Swingline Loan to the extent same would result in such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this
paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply,
mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall
notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts
received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the
Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender,
as their interests may appear, in each instance in accordance with Section 2.17(a); provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to
the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof. 

Section 2.05 Letters of Credit. 

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of
Credit for its own account denominated in Dollars or in an Alternative Currency (subject at all times to an aggregate LC Exposure of no greater than $25,000,000.00) in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at
any time and from time to time prior to thirty (30) days before the termination of the Availability Period (subject to clause (c) below). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms
and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall
control. The Borrower shall be responsible for preparing or approving the final text of the Letter of Credit as issued by the Issuing Bank, irrespective of any assistance the Issuing Bank may provide such as drafting or recommending text or by the
Issuing Bank’s use or refusal to use text submitted by the Borrower. The Borrower shall be solely responsible for the suitability of the Letter of Credit for the Borrower’s purposes. 

  
 51 












 (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain
Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for
doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a Letter of Credit Request requesting the issuance of a
Letter of Credit or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire
(which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of
Credit. The Administrative Agent’s records of the content of any such request will be conclusive. The Administrative Agent shall remit a copy of such request to the Revolving Lenders. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall
submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any Letter of Credit Request. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the aggregate LC Exposure shall not exceed $25,000,000, (ii) the aggregate
Revolving Credit Exposure of the Revolving Lenders shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitment of the Revolving Lenders, (iii) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of the Revolving Lenders shall not exceed (a) the total Maximum
Loan Available Amount less (b) the outstanding balance of all of the Term Loans, and (iv) unless otherwise approved by the Issuing Bank, the face amount of the subject Letter of Credit shall not be less than $100,000. The Issuing Bank
shall have no obligation to issue a Letter of Credit if (A) a default of any Revolving Lender’s obligations to fund any amount under this Agreement exists or any Revolving Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the
Issuing Bank has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or such Revolving Lender to eliminate the Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to such Revolving Lender (with cash collateral pledged to the Issuing Bank in the amount of
such defaulting or Defaulting Lender’s pro rata portion of the Letter of Credit being deemed satisfactory), (B) any order, judgment, or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall, by its terms, purport to enjoin or restrain the
Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Legal Requirement applicable to the Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank
shall prohibit or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular, or (C) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuing Bank
applicable to letters of credit generally. 

  
 52 












 (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire upon the
earlier to occur of (i) one year from the date issuance, subject to a customary one year extension “evergreen” provision, or (ii) not later than the close of business on the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the
Revolving Loan Maturity Date unless (1) all the Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry date, or (2) the Borrower agrees to deliver to the Administrative Agent no later than sixty (60) days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity
Date cash collateral in an amount equal to the undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit, with the Borrower hereby irrevocably requesting a Borrowing of a Base Rate Loan to fund such cash collateral payment in the event the Borrower does not deliver
such cash collateral to the Administrative Agent on the due date thereof. With respect to any Letter of Credit containing an “evergreen” provision to extend the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank, in its sole and
absolute discretion, may give notice of nonrenewal of such Letter of Credit and, if the Borrower does not at any time want such Letter of Credit to be renewed, the Borrower will so notify the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank at least
fifteen (15) calendar days before the Issuing Bank is required to notify the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any advising bank of such nonrenewal pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit. 

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount
thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such
Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby
absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by
the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire
participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence
and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever, provided no Revolving Lender shall be required to
acquire a participation in a Letter of Credit to the extent same would result in such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment. 

(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower
shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement in the applicable currency not later than 12:00 noon, Boston, Massachusetts time, on the Business Day that such LC Disbursement is
made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., Boston, Massachusetts time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then on the Business
Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if 

  
 53 












 
such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with
Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with a Base Rate Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and
replaced by the resulting Base Rate Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the
Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Revolving Loan Applicable
Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply,
mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the
Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to
reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the
funding of Base Rate Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. 

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e)
of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or
enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein
being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) any adverse
change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the Borrower or in the relevant currency markets generally or iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the
Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of
any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any
document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any 

  
 54 












 
consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the
extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to
exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The Borrower shall take action to avoid and mitigate the amount of any damages claimed against the Issuing Bank,
including by enforcing its rights against the beneficiaries of the Letters of Credit, and any claim by the Borrower under or in connection with any Letter of Credit shall be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of (x) the amount (if any) saved
by the Borrower as a result of the breach or alleged wrongful conduct complained of; and (y) the amount (if any) of the loss that would have been avoided had the Borrower taken all reasonable steps to mitigate any loss, and in case of a claim
of wrongful dishonor, by specifically and timely authorizing the Issuing Bank to effect a cure. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank, the Issuing Bank shall
be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial
compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any 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. 

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents
purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has
made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any
such LC Disbursement. 
 (h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the
Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the
Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e)
of this Section, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving
Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment. 

  
 55 












 (i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced
at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the
time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.11(d). From and after the effective date of any such
replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing
Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank
shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional
Letters of Credit. 
 (j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the
Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the
Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral
shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in
clause (g) or (h) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this
Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the
option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account
shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the
Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Majority Class Lenders with respect to the Revolving Lenders), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the
Borrower under this Agreement, provided that, to the extent such obligations are owed to Lenders, such application shall be on a pro rata basis. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the
occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.  

  
 56 












 Section 2.06 Funding of Borrowings. 

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan of each Class to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof pursuant to the
Loan Request by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Boston, Massachusetts time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that
Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower
maintained with the Administrative Agent in Boston, Massachusetts, or wire transferred to such other account or in such manner as may be designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that Base Rate Revolving Loans made to
finance the reimbursement of a LC Disbursement pursuant to Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank. 

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of any
applicable Class that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may, after giving notice to the Borrower of its intent to advance funds on behalf of a
Lender, assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. The Borrower shall
have the right to withdraw its request for such Borrowing upon receipt of any such notice from the Administrative Agent. In the event the Administrative Agent does advance funds on behalf of a Lender, and such Lender has not in fact made its share
of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from
and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the corresponding Loan made to the Borrower. If such Lender pays such amount to the
Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. 
 Section 2.07 Interest
Elections. 
 (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the
case of a Term SOFR Loan and CDOR Loan, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert a Borrowing of any Class to a different Type (but of the same Class) or to
continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Term SOFR Loan and CDOR Loan, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing,
in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline
Loans, which may not be converted or continued. 

  
 57 












 (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify
the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be
made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in the
form of a Borrowing Request (with proper election made for an interest rate election only) and signed by the Borrower. 
 (c)
Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.03: 

(i) the Borrowing (including Class) to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected
with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting
Borrowing); 
 (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a
Business Day; 
 (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing, a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing, a Term
SOFR Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing; and 
 (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Term SOFR Loan or CDOR Loan, the Interest
Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Term SOFR Loan or CDOR Loan but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to
have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 
 (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest
Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Term SOFR Loan or CDOR Loan prior to
the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision
hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Majority Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be
converted to or continued as a SOFR Loan and (ii) unless repaid, each SOFR Loan and CDOR Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 

  
 58 












 Section 2.08 Termination, Reduction and Increase of Commitments. 

 (a) Unless previously terminated by the Administrative Agent or Borrower in accordance with this Agreement, the
Commitments shall terminate on their respective Maturity Date(s). 
 (b) The Borrower may only reduce the Revolving
Commitments, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders, in the following circumstances: the Borrower may from time to time reduce the Revolving Commitments, provided that each reduction in the Revolving
Commitments shall be in an amount that is at least $25,000,000 and an integral multiple of $5,000,000, and the Revolving Commitments may not be reduced to less than $100,000,000 unless the Revolving Commitments are reduced to zero and terminated.
The Borrower shall not reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the total Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the Maximum Loan
Available Amount less the outstanding balance of all of the Term Loans. After any reduction in the Revolving Commitments, the Borrower’s option to increase the Commitments provided in Section 2.08(d) shall terminate.

 (c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to reduce the Revolving Commitments under
Section 2.08(b) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative
Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable. Any reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction in the Revolving Commitments
shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments. A reduction in the outstanding principal balance shall not constitute a reduction in the Revolving Commitments without the notice required above being
delivered to Administrative Agent as set forth above. 
 (d) Provided no Default or Event of Default shall then be in
existence, the Borrower shall have the right, on one or more occasions, to elect to increase the Total Commitments; provided, however, that (i) the amount of each such increase shall not be less than Twenty-Five Million Dollars
($25,000,000) or in increments of Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) in excess thereof, (ii) the aggregate amount of all such increases shall not cause the Total Commitments to exceed One Billion Fifty Million Dollars ($1,050,000,000),
and (iii) any such requests for an increase in the Total Commitment must be received at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the then applicable Revolving Loan Maturity Date or Term Loan Maturity Date. Any such increase in the Total
Commitment shall be exercised by the Borrower by written notice to the Administrative Agent, which election shall designate the requested increase in the Total 

  
 59 












 
Commitment; provided further, however, at Borrower’s option, Borrower may request that any such requested increase in the amount of the Total Commitments be effected through an
increase in the Revolving Commitments, an increase in the Term Commitments, or the addition of one or more new term loan facilities provided any such new term facilities shall satisfy the Incremental Conditions (and, in such event, all references in
this Section 2.08 to any increase in the Commitments (or any Revolving Commitment or Term Commitment), as and to the extent applicable at any time, shall be deemed and construed to mean and refer to any such increased or
incremental new term loan commitment in the amount of such increase, mutatis mutandis), subject further, however, (1) to the continued applicability of the terms and provisions of this Section 2.08 and
(2) in addition to the items specified below, the prior execution and delivery by the Credit Parties of such other and further agreements, instruments, and documents which Administrative Agent may then require in its sole but reasonable
determination to effect any such term loan commitment in the amount of such increase. Any new term loan facility shall have a maturity no earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date. At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation
with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders), and each Lender
shall endeavor to respond as promptly as possible within such time period. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment (which decision shall be in its sole discretion)
and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Percentage of such requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment. The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing
Bank (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to the extent that the existing Lenders decline to increase their Commitments, or decline to increase their Commitments to the amount requested by the Borrower, the
Arranger, in consultation with the Borrower, will use its best efforts to arrange for other financial institutions to become a Lender hereunder and to issue commitments in an amount equal to the amount of the increase in the Total Commitment
requested by the Borrower and not accepted by the existing Lenders, and the Borrower may also invite additional lenders approved by the Administrative Agent (provided that no approval of the Administrative Agent shall be required if such new lender
is an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund) to become Lenders, in each case, pursuant to a joinder agreement (each a “Lender Joinder Agreement”) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its
counsel. If the Total Commitment is increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of each
Lender’s increased Commitments among any new tranche of term loans and the Revolving Loan. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase (with such increase being pro rata
among existing Lenders choosing to increase their Commitments) and the Increase Effective Date and Section 2.01 shall be deemed modified, without further action, to reflect the revised Commitments and Applicable Percentages
of the Lenders. As a condition precedent to 

  
 60 












 
such increase, (i) the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the Borrower dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by an Authorized Officer of the
Borrower (x) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such increase, and (y) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties
contained in Article 6 and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except that in the case of any representation and warranty qualified by materiality, they shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as
of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for
purposes of this Section 2.08(d), the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.04 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished to the Administrative Agent, and
(B) no Default or Event of Default exists or would result therefrom, (ii) the Borrower and each new Lender shall have executed and delivered a Lender Joinder Agreement and such other amendments, instruments, documents and agreements as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably have requested to implement the increase; (iii) the Borrower shall have paid such arrangement fees to the Arranger as the Borrower and the Arranger may agree; (iv) if requested by the Administrative
Agent, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders an opinion or opinions, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, from counsel to the Borrower reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and
dated such date; and (v) no Default or Event of Default exists. Existing Lenders may, as necessary, receive a prepayment of amounts of the Revolving Loan outstanding on the Increase Effective Date to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding
Revolving Loan ratable with any revised Revolving Loan Applicable Percentages arising from any non-ratable increase in the Revolving Commitments under this Section, which prepayment shall be accomplished by
the pro rata funding required of the Lender(s) issuing new or increased Commitments. The amount of any increase in any of the Term Loans or new tranche of term loans will be funded on such Increase Effective Date or as otherwise agreed by the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lenders providing such increase. 
 Section 2.09 Repayment of Loans;
Evidence of Debt. 
 (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Revolving Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, (ii) subject to Section 2.05, to the Issuing Bank the then unpaid principal amount of each
LC Disbursement on the earlier of the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (which may be extended pursuant to Section 2.05(c)) and the date set forth in Section 2.05(e), and (iii) subject to
Section 2.04, to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Revolving Maturity Date and the date that is ten (10) Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made;
provided that on each date that a Borrowing of Loans of any Class (other than Swingline Loans) is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding. 

  
 61 












 (b) The Term Loan shall be for a term commencing on the Effective Date and
ending on the Term Loan Maturity Date and the Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan on the Term Loan Maturity Date or such
earlier date as the Term Loan is accelerated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement during the continuance of an Event of Default. 

(c) At the request of any Lender, the Loans of each Class made by such Lender shall be evidenced by a Note payable to such
Lender in the amount of such Lender’s Commitment of the applicable Class. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each
Loan of each Class made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 

(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder,
the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by
the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (e) The entries
made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein, absent manifest error;
provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. 
 Section 2.10 Prepayment of Loans. 

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay (including in connection with a partial
release of any Pool Property), without penalty, any Borrowing of any Class in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section, and subject to Section 2.15, if applicable.

 (b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of a prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the
Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Term SOFR Loan, not later than 11:00 a.m., Los Angeles, California time, three (3) Business Days before the date of
prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Base Rate Borrowing or a Daily Simple SOFR Loan, not later than 11:00 a.m., Los Angeles, California time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment, or (iii) in the case of prepayment
of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, Los Angeles, California time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount and Class of each Borrowing or portion
thereof to be prepaid. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the applicable Class of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be
in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000.00 and not less than $500,000.00. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to
the extent required by Section 2.12. 

  
 62 












 (c) In connection with the prepayment of any Loan prior to the expiration of
the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any applicable expenses pursuant to Section 2.15.  

(d) Amounts to be applied to the prepayment of Loans of any Class pursuant to any of the preceding subsections of this
Section shall be applied, first, to reduce outstanding Base Rate Loans of such Class and next, to the extent of any remaining balance, to reduce outstanding Daily Simple SOFR Loans of such Class, and next to reduce outstanding Term SOFR Loans
of such Class. Each such prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the Lenders of such Class. 
 (e) If at
any time: 
 (i) the Dollar Equivalent of the Total Outstandings of the Lenders exceeds the then effective Maximum Loan
Available Amount, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to such excess within one (1) Business Day after such occurrence, with any such payment being applied (i) first to the outstanding Swingline Loans, (ii) second
to the outstanding Revolving Loans, (iii) third to cash collateralize any LC Exposure, and (iv) fourth to the Term Loans on a pro rata basis; or 

(ii) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the Revolving Credit Exposure of the Lenders exceeds the then effective Maximum Loan
Available Amount less the outstanding balance of all of the Term Loans, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to such excess within five (5) Business Day after such occurrence, with any such payment being applied (i) first
to the outstanding Swingline Loans, (ii) second to the outstanding Revolving Loans, and (iii) third to cash collateralize any LC Exposure. 

Section 2.11 Fees. 

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender an unused fee (the
“Unused Fee”), which shall accrue during the period from and including the date of this Agreement to, but excluding, the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates, at a rate per annum equal to (i) prior to the
occurrence of a Security Interest Termination Event (a) at 0.25% per annum on the daily unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender if Usage is less than 50% of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and
(b) at 0.20% per annum on the daily unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender if Usage is greater than or equal to 50% of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment or (ii) following the occurrence of a
Security Interest Termination Event, (a) at 0.20% per annum on the daily unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender if Usage is less than 50% of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and (b) at 0.15%
per annum on the daily unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender 

  
 63 












 
if Usage is greater than or equal to 50% of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Unused Fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of
each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that any Unused Fees accrued as
of the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. All Unused Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day) and shall be based on the then existing Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders. 
 (b) The
Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate provided for Revolving Loans
which are Daily Simple SOFR Loans on the actual daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the date of this Agreement to but
excluding the later of the date on which such Revolving Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, provided, however, any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the
account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided cash collateral satisfactory to the Issuing Bank shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Legal
Requirements, to the other Revolving Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Revolving Loan Applicable Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.18(a)(iv) with the
balance of such fee, if any, payable to the Issuing Bank for its own account, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, in the amount of 0.125% of the face amount of each Letter of Credit (but not less than $500.00 for each Letter of
Credit). Participation fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date
of this Agreement; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Fronting fees shall be
payable in full in advance on the date of the issuance, or renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, and are not refundable. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All
participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account fees payable in the amounts and at the times
separately agreed to upon in the fee letter executed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
 (d) All fees
payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of Unused Fees, participation fees, and extension
fees to the Lenders. Fees paid under this Agreement shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 

  
 64 












 (e) In the event that the Revolving Loan Maturity Date is extended in
accordance with the terms of Section 2.21, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender an extension fee equal to 0.15% of the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the
Revolving Lenders on the first effective day of the extension. 
 Section 2.12 Interest. 

(a) The Loans comprising each Base Rate Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the lesser of
(x) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate, or (y) the Maximum Rate. 
 (b) The Loans comprising each Daily Simple
SOFR Loan shall bear interest at the lesser of (a) the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, as applicable plus the Applicable Rate, or (b) the Maximum Rate. 

(c) The Loans comprising each Term SOFR Loan shall bear interest at the lesser of (a) the Adjusted Term SOFR, for the
Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate, or (b) the Maximum Rate. 
 (d) The Loans
comprising each CDOR Loan shall bear interest at the lesser of (a) the CDOR Rate, for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate, or (b) the Maximum Rate. 

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by
the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, after applicable grace periods, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to
(i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, the lesser of (x) 4% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section, or (y) the Maximum Rate, or (ii) in the case of any other
amount, the lesser of (x) 4% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section, or (y) the Maximum Rate; and (B) after the occurrence of any Event of Default, at the option of the
Administrative Agent, or if the Administrative Agent is directed in writing by the Majority Lenders to do so, the Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (x) 4% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided
in the preceding paragraphs of this Section, or (y) the Maximum Rate (the foregoing increased interest rate, as applicable, referred to as the “Default Rate”). 

(f) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon the Maturity
Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of a Base Rate
Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Term SOFR Loan or
CDOR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Term SOFR Loan or CDOR Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 

  
 65 












 (g) All computations of interest on SOFR Loans shall be made on the actual
number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days. All computations of interest by reference to the Canadian Prime Rate and the CDOR Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of
days elapsed. All computations of interest on Base Rate Loans hereunder shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable. The applicable Base Rate, CDOR Rate, Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR or Adjusted
Term SOFR shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), the yearly rate of interest to which any rate calculated on the basis of a
period of time different from the actual number of days in the year (360 days, for example) is equivalent is the stated rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the year (365 or 366, as applicable) and divided by the number of days in the
shorter period (360 days, in the example) 
 (h) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial
statements of Parent or Borrower or for any other reason, Parent, Borrower, Administrative Agent, or the Lenders reasonably determine that (i) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as calculated by Parent and Borrower as of any applicable date was
inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher or lower pricing for such period, then (A) if the proper calculation results in a higher pricing for such period, Borrower shall
immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, within three (3) Business Days after demand by Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of
an order for relief with respect to any Credit Party under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by Administrative Agent or any Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees
that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period, and (B) if the proper calculation results in a lower pricing for such period, Borrower shall receive a credit or refund of any
overpayment promptly after such determination. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, under Section 2.12(c) or under ARTICLE VII (in each instance to the
extent the Borrower is in violation of Section 5.02(a) or such restatement of or other adjustment or recalculation otherwise constitutes an Event of Default hereunder). To the extent that Administrative Agent makes any
determination under this Section 2.12(h) based on computations provided by anyone other than Borrower, Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of same to the Borrower prior to the demand for excess interest and fees. 

Section 2.13 Temporary Inability to Determine Rates.. If (A) the Administrative Agent determines in good faith (which
determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR or the CDOR Rate cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof or (B) the Required Lenders determine that for any
reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a CDOR Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR or the CDOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed
SOFR Loan or CDOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent, in each case of (A) and (B), on or
prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, (i) any obligation of the Lenders to make or continue
the applicable SOFR Loans or CDOR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans or CDOR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice and (ii) if such
determination affects the calculation of the Base Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (iii) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the
Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of any applicable SOFR Loans or CDOR Loans (to the extent of the affected
SOFR Loans, CDOR Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and
(ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans and CDOR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the
amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.15. If the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that
“Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Base Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (iii) of the definition of
“Base Rate” until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination. 

  
 66 












 Section 2.14 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc 

(a) In the event that (y) in the case of clause (i) below, the Administrative Agent or (z) in the case of
clauses (ii) and (iii) below, any Lender or other Recipient, shall have determined on a reasonable basis (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto): 

(i) on any date for determining the interest rate applicable to any SOFR Loan or CDOR Loan for any Interest Period that, by
reason of any changes arising after the Effective Date, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in this Agreement for such SOFR Loan or CDOR Loan; or 

(ii) at any time, that such Lender or other Recipient shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or
receivable by it hereunder in an amount that such Lender or other Recipient deems material with respect to any SOFR Loans or CDOR Loans (other than any increased cost or reduction in the amount received or receivable resulting from the imposition of
or a change in the rate of any (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) because of (x) any Change in Law since the Effective
Date (including, but not limited to, a change in requirements for any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirements (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or
for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or other Recipient) or (y) other circumstances adversely affecting the availability of Term SOFR or the CDOR Rate; or 

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any SOFR Loan or CDOR Loan has become unlawful by compliance by such
Lender in good faith with any Change in Law since the Effective Date, or would conflict with any thereof not having the force of law but with which such Lender customarily complies, or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring
after the Effective Date that materially adversely affects the availability of SOFR or the CDOR Rate; 
 then, and in each such event, such
Lender or other Recipient (or the Administrative Agent in the case of clause (i) above) shall (1) on or promptly following such date or time and (2) within 10 Business Days of the date on which such event no longer exists give notice
(by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders or other Recipients). Thereafter (x) in the
case of clause (i) above, the affected Type of SOFR Loans or CDOR Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders or other Recipients that the circumstances giving rise to
such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or notice of continuation or conversion given by the Borrower with respect to such Type of SOFR Loans or CDOR Loans that have not yet been incurred, converted or
continued shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower or, in the case of a 

  
 67 












 
Notice of Borrowing, shall, at the option of the Borrower, be deemed converted into a Notice of Borrowing for Base Rate Loans to be made on the date of Borrowing contained in such Notice of
Borrowing, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or other Recipient, upon written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating,
interest or otherwise as such Lender or other Recipient shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender or other Recipient for such increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional
amounts owed to such Lender or other Recipient, showing the basis for the calculation thereof, which basis must be reasonable, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender or other Recipient shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and
binding upon all parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.14(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

 (b) At any time that any SOFR Loan or CDOR Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.14(a)(ii) or
(iii), the Borrower may (and in the case of a SOFR Loan or CDOR Loan affected pursuant to Section 2.14(a)(iii) the Borrower shall) either (i) if the affected SOFR Loan or CDOR Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, by giving the
Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that the Borrower was notified by a Lender or other Recipient pursuant to Section 2.14(a)(ii) or (iii), cancel said Borrowing, or, in the case of
any Borrowing, convert the related Notice of Borrowing into one requesting a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or require the affected Lender or other Recipient to make its requested Loan as a Base Rate Loan, or (ii) if the affected SOFR Loan or
CDOR Loan is then outstanding, upon at least one Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender or other Recipient to convert each such SOFR Loan or CDOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan; provided, however, that if
more than one Lender or other Recipient is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders or other Recipients must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.14`(b). 

(c) If any Lender shall have determined that after the Effective Date, any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or
liquidity by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged by law with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender or its parent corporation with any request or directive regarding capital
adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, in each case made subsequent to the Effective Date, has or would have the effect of reducing by an amount reasonably deemed by
such Lender to be material to the rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent corporation’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its
parent corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its parent corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time
to time, within 15 days after written demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its parent corporation for such
reduction. Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any 

  
 68 












 
additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.14(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall set forth, in reasonable
detail, the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, which basis must be reasonable, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any of the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to
this Section 2.14(c) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice. 
 (d) A certificate of a Lender
or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of
this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after
receipt thereof. 
 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Section 2.22 shall apply
with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event. 
 (f) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand
compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing
Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

Section 2.15 Breakage Compensation. The Borrower shall compensate each Lender upon its written request (which request shall set
forth the detailed basis for requesting and the method of calculating such compensation), for all reasonable losses, costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, cost, expense or liability incurred by reason of the
liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its SOFR Loans or CDOR Loans) which such Lender may sustain in connection with any of the following: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such
Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of SOFR Loans or CDOR Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a notice of continuation or conversion (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn
pursuant to Section 2.14(a)); (ii) if any repayment, prepayment, conversion or continuation of any SOFR Loan or CDOR Loan occurs on a date that is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of
its SOFR Loans or CDOR Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; (iv) as a result of an assignment by a Lender of any SOFR Loan or CDOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto pursuant to a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19(b) or (v) as a consequence of (y) any other default by the Borrower to repay or prepay any SOFR Loans or CDOR Loans when required
by the terms of this Agreement or (z) an election made pursuant to Section 2.19(b). The written request of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section
shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such request within 10 days after receipt thereof. 

  
 69 












 Section 2.16 Taxes. 

(a) All payments by the Borrower or Guarantors hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff
or counterclaim, and free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Legal Requirements. If any Legal Requirement (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires
the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Legal Requirements and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or other applicable Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or
withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no
such deduction or withholding been made. 
 (b) The Borrower and Guarantors shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with Legal Requirements, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 

(c) The Borrower and Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand
therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be
withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.
A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent
manifest error; provided that the determinations in such statement are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith. 
 (d)
Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that a Borrower or a Guarantor has not already
indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and Guarantors to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of
Section 2.16 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
Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or
liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the 

  
 70 












 
Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any
other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection. 
 (e) As soon as practicable after
any payment of Taxes by a Borrower or any Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.16, such Borrower or such Guarantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a
receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(f) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under
any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such
other documentation prescribed by Legal Requirements or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding
or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the immediately following
clauses (ii)(2)(A), (ii)(2)(B) and (ii)(2)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially
prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 
 (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the
event that a Borrower is a U.S. Person: 
 (1) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; 

(2) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 

  
 71 












 (A) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax
treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest”
article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or
W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article
of such tax treaty; 
 (B) an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of
an executed IRS Form W-8ECI; 
 (C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the
benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a
“bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of a Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation”
described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or 
 (D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an
electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed 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
I-2 or Exhibit I-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable;
provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in
the form of Exhibit I-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 

(3) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of any other form prescribed by Legal Requirements 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 Legal Requirements to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

  
 72 












 (4) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject
to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Legal Requirements and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Legal Requirements
(including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply
with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D),
“FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 Each Lender agrees that if any form or
certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(g) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to
which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.16 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to
such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable third party out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party actually incurred and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).
Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to
an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the 

  
 73 












 
indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving
rise to such refund has not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to
make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it reasonably deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.16 shall survive the resignation or
replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 

Section 2.17 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. 

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in
an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16,
or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., Los Angeles, California time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds in Dollars, without set-off or counterclaim. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
all payments by the Borrower hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, in such
Alternative Currency not later than prior to 1:00 p.m., Los Angeles, California time on the dates specified herein without setoff or counterclaim. If, for any reason, the Borrower is prohibited by any Legal Requirement from making any required
payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the
Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its main offices in Cleveland, Ohio, except for
payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons
entitled thereto. If the Administrative Agent receives a payment for the account of a Lender prior to 1:00 p.m., Los Angeles, California time, such payment must be delivered to the Lender on the same day and if it is not so delivered due to the
fault of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall pay to the Lender entitled to the payment interest thereon for each day after payment should have been received by the Lender pursuant hereto until the Lender receives payment, at the
Overnight Rate. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be
payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars. 

  
 74 












 (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the
Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the
parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled
thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties. 
 (c) If any
Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans of any Class or participations in LC
Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans of any applicable Class and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest
thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender of such Class, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of such Class and participations in LC Disbursements
and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and
participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the
purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this
Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate
thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such
participation. 
 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which
any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in
accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders of each applicable Class or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then
each of the Lenders of such Class or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issing Bank with interest thereon, for each day
from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate. 

  
 75 












 (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it
pursuant to Sections 2.06(b) or 2.17(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to
satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 (f)
Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be made from the Revolving Lenders, each payment of the fees under Section 2.11(a), 2.11(b), and 2.11(e) shall be made for the account of the
Revolving Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Revolving Commitments under Section 2.08 shall be applied to the respective Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their
respective Revolving Loan Applicable Percentages; (ii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Revolving Loans shall be made for the account of the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the
Revolving Loans held by them, provided that, subject to Section 2.18, if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of any Revolving Loans the outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans shall not be held by the Revolving
Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments in effect at the time such Revolving Loans were made, then such payment shall be applied to the Revolving Loans in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable,
in the outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans being held by the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with such respective Revolving Loan Applicable Percentages; (iii) the making of a Class of Term Loans under Section 2.01(b)
shall be made from the applicable Class of Term Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Term Commitments of such Class; (iv) each payment or prepayment of principal of a Class of Term Loans shall be made for the
account of the Term Lenders of such Class pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Class of Term Loans held by them; (v) each payment of interest of a Class of Loans shall be made for the
account of the Lenders of such Class pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Class of Loans then due and payable to the respective Class of Lenders; (vi) the making, conversion and continuation of Loans of a
particular Class and Type (other than conversions provided for by Section 2.14(e)) shall be made pro rata among the Lenders of such Class according to the outstanding amounts of their respective Loans of such Class and the then
current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each such Loan of such Class and Type shall be coterminous; and (vii) the Revolving Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Swingline Loans under
Section 2.04, shall be in accordance with their respective Revolving Loan Applicable Percentages. All payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts in respect of the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lenders
only (except to the extent any Revolving Lender shall have acquired and funded a participating interest in any such Swingline Loan pursuant to Section 2.04, in which case such payments shall be pro rata in accordance with such participating
interests). 

  
 76 












 Section 2.18 Defaulting Lenders. 

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement, if any Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law: 

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or
consent with respect to this Credit Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 9.02. 

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative
Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to ARTICLE VII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 9.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder;
second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by Administrative Agent or requested by the Issuing Bank or the
Swingline Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any outstanding and undrawn Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event
of Default exists other than a Default or Event of Default resulting directly from the Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Credit Agreement), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed
to fund its portion thereof as required by this Credit Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest
bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Credit Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the non-Defaulting
Lenders, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting
Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Credit Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists other than a Default or Event of Default resulting directly from the Defaulting Lender’s breach of its
obligations under this Credit Agreement, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting
Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Credit 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 LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share; and (y) such Loans or LC Disbursements were made at a time when the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis


  
 77 












 
prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender. 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 2.18(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably
consents hereto. 
 (iii) Certain Fees. A Defaulting Lender: (x) shall not be entitled to receive any Unused Fee
pursuant to Section 2.11 for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such
Defaulting Lender); and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit fees as provided in Section 2.11. 

(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce LC Exposure. During any period in which there is a Revolving
Lender that is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Revolving Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline
Loans, the “ Applicable Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Revolving Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; provided, that: (A) each
such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (B) the aggregate obligation of each
non-Defaulting Revolving Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of: (1) the Revolving Commitment of
such non-Defaulting Lender; minus (2) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans of such Revolving Lender. With respect to any fee payable under Section 2.11(b) or any Letter
of Credit fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b), Borrower shall: (x) pay to each non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to
such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in a Letter of Credit that have been reallocated to such non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to this clause (iv) below; (y)
pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Letter of Credit Issuer’s LC Exposure to such Defaulting Lender; and (z) not be required to pay the
remaining amount of any such fee. 
 (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in
writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any
conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), such Defaulting Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other
actions as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their 

  
 78 












 
Applicable Percentages, whereupon such Defaulting Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or
payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no cessation in status as Defaulting Lender
will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising during the period that such Lender was a Defaulting Lender. 

Section 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Each Lender and the Issuing Bank will notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement which
will entitle such Person to compensation pursuant to Sections 2.14 and 2.16 as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, provided that such Person shall not be liable for
the failure to provide such notice. If any Lender or the Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any such Person or any Governmental Authority
for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall use reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize the amounts payable, including, without limitation, the
designation of a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder or the assignment of its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender
or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender or
Issuing Bank to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the Issuing Bank. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the Issuing
Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender
defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and
subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender
accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be
withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable
to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a 

  
 79 












 
reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
 Section 2.20
Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any
such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of a 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 a Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and 

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

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

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected
Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any
such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or 
 (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in
connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any Resolution Authority. 
 Section 2.21
Extension. 
 (a) Revolving Loan Extension. So long as no Event of Default or Default shall be in
existence on the date on which notice is given in accordance with the following clause (i) and on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, Borrower may extend the Revolving Loan Maturity Date to March 17, 2025, upon satisfaction of the following:
(i) delivery of a written request to Administrative Agent at least sixty (60) days, but no more than one hundred twenty (120) days, prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date then in effect; (ii) payment to Administrative Agent
for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders of the extension fee set forth in Section 2.11(e), which fee shall be payable on or before the Revolving Loan Maturity Date; and (iii) payment by Borrower of all fees and
expenses to Administrative Agent and the Lenders to the extent then due. Such extension shall be evidenced by delivery of written confirmation of the same by Administrative Agent to Borrower. 

  
 80 












 (b) Miscellaneous. If the Revolving Loan Maturity Date is extended,
all of the other terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including interest payment dates) shall remain in full force and effect and unmodified, except as expressly provided for herein. The extension of the Revolving
Loan Maturity Date is subject to the satisfaction of each of the following additional conditions: 
 (i) the representations
and warranties of each Credit Party set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which such Credit Party is a signatory shall be true and correct in all material respects on the date that the extension request is given to the
Administrative Agent and on the first day of the extension (except to the extent such representations and warranties (i) relate to a specified date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date, or
(ii) are qualified by materiality, in which case, they shall be true and correct in all respects); 
 (ii) no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date on which the Borrower gives the Administrative Agent the extension request or on the first day of the extension; 

(iii) the Borrower shall be in compliance with all of the financial covenants set forth in
Section 5.02 hereof both on the date on which the extension request is given to the Administrative Agent and on the first day of the extension; 

(iv) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent all amounts then due and payable to any of the Lenders, the
Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, including the extension fees as provided for herein; 

(v) the Borrower shall pay for any and all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with or arising out of
the extension of the Revolving Loan Maturity Date; 
 (vi) the Borrower shall have satisfied each Lender’s regulatory
compliance requirements with respect to insurance diligence and requirements; 
 (vii) the Borrower shall execute and deliver
to Administrative Agent such other documents, financial statements, instruments, certificates, opinions of counsel, reports, or amendments to the Loan Documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request regarding the Credit Parties as
shall be necessary to effect such extension; and 
 (viii) a written acknowledgement by the Administrative Agent to Borrower
indicating that all extension conditions set forth above have been satisfied. 
 Section 2.22 Permanent Inability to Determine Rate;
Benchmark Replacement. 

  
 81 












 (a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with
respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not
received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.22
will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. Unless and until a Benchmark Replacement is effective in accordance with this Section 2.22, all Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans in accordance
with the provisions of Section 2.13 above. 
 (b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.
In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in
any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and
the Lenders of the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark. Any
determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.22, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and
without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.22. 

(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document,
at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on
a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator
of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities
Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such
unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned 

  
 82 












 
tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a
Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or incompliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for
Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such
time to reinstate such previously removed tenor. 
 (e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s
receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for the applicable SOFR Borrowing or CDOR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans or CDOR Loans to be made, converted
or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period
or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon Adjusted Term SOFR (or then-current Benchmark) will not be used in any determination of Base Rate. 

ARTICLE III 

Representations and Warranties 

The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank that: 

Section 3.01 Organization; Powers. Each Credit Party is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required. 

Section 3.02 Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions are within the corporate, partnership or limited liability
company powers (as applicable) of the respective Credit Parties and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership or limited liability company action. This Agreement and the Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by
each Credit Party which is a party thereto and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of each such Person, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws
affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 

Section 3.03 Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) to the actual knowledge of the respective
Credit Parties, do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been 

  
 83 












 
obtained or made and are in full force and effect or which shall be completed at the appropriate time for such filings under applicable securities laws, (b) to the actual knowledge of the
respective Credit Parties, will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of any Credit Party or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or any
order of any Governmental Authority, except where such violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon any
Credit Party or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any Credit Party or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, except where such violation could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of any Credit Party or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries. 

Section 3.04 Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. 

(a) The Parent has heretofore furnished to the (i) Lenders financial statements of the Parent and Strategic Storage Trust
IV Inc. (“SST IV”) as of and for the period ending September 30, 2020 reported on by BDO USA, independent public accountants, for the Parent and SST IV; such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position and results of operations and cash flows of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and of SST IV and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) pro forma
financial statements of the Parent (giving effect to the Merger) as of the Effective Date. 
 (b) Since September 30,
2020, no event has occurred which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 3.05
Properties. 
 (a) Subject to Liens permitted by Section 6.01, each of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries has title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its real and personal property material to its business, except for minor defects in title and title defects disclosed to Lenders that do not interfere in any material respect with its
ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes. 
 (b)
Subject to the property conditions reports obtained by the Property Party at the time of acquisition with respect to each Pool Property, all components of all improvements included within the Pool Property owned or leased, as lessee, by any Credit
Party, including, without limitation, the roofs and structural elements thereof and the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, sewer, waste water, storm water, paving and parking equipment, systems and facilities
included therein, are in good working order and repair, subject to such exceptions which are not reasonably likely to have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. All water, gas, electrical, steam, compressed air, telecommunication, sanitary
and storm sewage lines and systems and other similar systems serving the Pool Property owned or leased by any Credit Party are installed and operating and are sufficient to enable the Pool Property to continue to be used and operated in the manner
currently being used and operated, and no Credit Party has any knowledge of any factor or condition that reasonably would be expected to result in the termination or material 

  
 84 












 
impairment of the furnishing thereof, subject to such exceptions which are not likely to have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. No improvement or portion thereof, or any other part of
the Pool Property, is dependent for its access, operation or utility on any land, building or other improvement not included in the Pool Property, other than for access provided pursuant to a recorded easement or other right of way establishing the
right of such access subject to such exceptions which are not likely to have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 

(c) To each Credit Party’s actual knowledge, all franchises, licenses, authorizations, rights of use, governmental
approvals and permits (including all certificates of occupancy and building permits) required to have been issued by Governmental Authority to enable all Real Property owned or leased by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to be operated as then
being operated have been lawfully issued and are in full force and effect, other than those which the failure to obtain in the aggregate could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Credit Party is in violation of the terms
or conditions of any such franchises, licenses, authorizations, rights of use, governmental approvals and permits, which violation would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 (a) Borrower shall comply and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and each Real Property owned or leased by such parties
to comply in all material respects with all applicable Environmental Laws currently or hereafter in effect, except to the extent noncompliance could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(b) If the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders at any time have a reasonable basis to believe that there may be a
material violation of any Environmental Law related to any Pool Property, or Real Property adjacent to such Pool Property, which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, then Borrower agrees, upon request from the
Administrative Agent (which request may be delivered at the option of Administrative Agent or at the direction of Majority Lenders), to provide the Administrative Agent, at the Borrower’s expense, with such reports, certificates, engineering

if such restrictions or conditions apply only to the property or assets securing such Indebtedness, (iv) clause (a) of the foregoing shall not apply to customary provisions in leases restricting the assignment thereof and (v) the foregoing

in connection with any investment allowed under Section 6.03 above. Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause all future non-recourse
carve-out guarantees and standard environmental indemnities on first mortgage or other property-related loans incurred by Subsidiaries to be provided by the Parent, but in no event shall any such guaranty or
indemnity be provided by any Property Party other than the Borrower.

 ARTICLE VIII 

The Administrative Agent 

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative
Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, each of which may be exercised by
KeyBank in its capacity as Collateral Agent to the extent an Intercreditor Agreement shall be executed. In the event of conflicting instructions or notices given to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent and any Lender, the Borrower is hereby
directed and shall rely conclusively on the instruction or notice given by the Administrative Agent. 
 The bank serving as the
Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from,
lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, Parent or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. 

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any
discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and
shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Credit Party that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity, with the exception of specific
notices given to it in its capacity as Administrative Agent hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have
knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank, or a Lender or the Administrative Agent otherwise has actual knowledge of such Default, and the Administrative
Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document
delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this
Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered
to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent agrees that, in fulfilling its duties hereunder, it will use the same standard of care it utilizes in servicing loans for its own account. 

  
 114 












 The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability
for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any
statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower),
independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

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

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may
resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank, and the Borrower, and may be removed by the Majority Lenders in the event of the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Any such resignation or removal may
at the Administrative Agent’s option also constitute the Administrative Agent’s resignation as Issuing Bank. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, with the approval of Borrower (provided no
Default has occurred and is continuing), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Bank (subject to the provisions of Section 2.05(i)). If no
successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation or is removed, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Bank, which shall be a Lender, or a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such
bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Bank, hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
Administrative Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Bank, and the retiring Administrative Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Bank, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor
Administrative Agent for its own behalf shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this
Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank. If the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall also resign as the Issuing Bank, such successor Administrative Agent shall issue letters
of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or shall make other arrangements satisfactory to the current Issuing Bank, in either case, to assume effectively the obligations of the current
Administrative Agent with respect to such Letters of Credit. The Administrative Agent shall cooperate with any successor Administrative Agent in fulfilling its duties hereunder. 

  
 115 












 Each Lender and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or the Issuing Bank and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the
Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or the Issuing Bank and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate,
continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 

The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are authorized to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement (and any amendments, amendments and
restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to the Intercreditor Agreement approved by the Required Lenders), and the Lenders acknowledge that the Intercreditor Agreement will be binding upon them. Each Lender
(a) hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and (b) hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into the
Intercreditor Agreement (and any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to the Intercreditor Agreement) and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations to the
provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.

delivery to it or maintaining its copies of such documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no document shall be deemed to have been electronically delivered to the Administrative Agent or to any Lender unless such Internet or intranet website is set
up to automatically deliver notice of postings thereon to the email address(es) that the Administrative Agent or such Lender may specify. 
 Borrower hereby
acknowledges that (a) Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders and Issuing Bank materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of Borrower and the other Credit Parties hereunder (collectively, “Borrower
Materials”) by posting Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish
to receive material non-public information with respect to Parent, Borrower or their Affiliates, or the respective Equity Interests of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other
market-related activities with respect to such Persons’ Equity Interests. Parent and Borrower hereby agree that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked
“PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” Parent and Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized
Administrative Agent, Lead Arrangers, Issuing Bank and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to Parent and Borrower or their Equity
Interests for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.12); (y) all
Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (z) Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers shall be entitled to treat any
Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting 

  
 117 












 
on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information. Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one (1) individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender
to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s
compliance procedures and Legal Requirements, including United States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and
that may contain material non-public information with respect to Borrower or its Equity Interests for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws. 

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS
OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY,
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In
no event shall Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to Borrower, any Lender, Issuing Bank or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of Borrower’s or Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided that in no event shall any Agent Party have
any liability to Borrower, any Lender, Issuing Bank or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) resulting therefrom. Similarly, each Lender acknowledges that the
Credit Parties do not control the posting to, or operation of, the Platform. Accordingly, the obligation of any Credit Parties under this Article are solely to identify and properly mark materials as “PUBLIC” where applicable. 

Section 9.02 Waivers; Amendments. 

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or
under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or
remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and
then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the 

  
 118 












 
generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the
Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 
 (b)
Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified, nor may any Event of Default be waived except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Majority Lenders or by the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Majority Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase or reduce (except in accordance with Section 2.08(b)) the Commitment of any Lender without the
written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby,
(iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled
date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.17(b) or 2.17(c), or the proceeds waterfall provisions of Article VII, in a manner that would alter the pro
rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Majority Lenders”, “Majority Class Lenders”, or any other
provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) release any
Credit Party from its obligations under the Loan Documents or, release of any Pool Property, except as specifically provided for herein, without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) subordinate the Loans without the written consent of each
Lender, (viii) waive or modify any conditions of extending the Loans set forth in Section 2.21 without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (ix) modify the definition of “Revolving Loan Maturity Date” (except

(xi) amend the definition of “Alternative Currency” or any of the related defined terms or the currency in which the Commitments are denominated or the provisions governing the currency in which the Loans or Letters of Credit are
denominated; provided further that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of
the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, and (B) any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document relating to the rights or obligations of any particular Class of Lenders, and not any
Lenders of another Class, may be amended, and the performance or observance by Borrower or any other Credit Party of any such terms may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, and only
with, the written consent of the Majority Class Lenders of the applicable Class or all Lenders of such Class directly and adversely affected thereby, as applicable (and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written
consent of each Credit Party a party thereto). 

  
 119 












 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender
shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the
applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended, nor shall there be any waiver, forgiveness or reduction of the principal amount of any Obligations
owing to such Defaulting Lender, without the consent of such Lender; and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than
other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the fact that the consent
of all the Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above: (1) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of
Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersede the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein; and (2) the Majority Lenders may consent to allow a Borrower to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding. Administrative Agent may, after consultation with the Borrower, agree to the modification of any term of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to correct any printing, stenographic or clerical errors or omissions that are
inconsistent with the terms hereof and Administrative Agent shall promptly provide the Lenders with a copy of any such modification. 

(e) If Administrative Agent shall request in writing the consent of any Lender to any amendment, change, waiver, discharge,
termination, consent or exercise of rights covered by this Credit Agreement, and not receive such consent or denial thereof in writing within ten (10) Business Days of the making of such written request by Administrative Agent, as the case may
be, such Lender shall be deemed to have given its consent to the request, provided no such deemed consent shall apply to any matters described in Sections 9.02(b)(i) through (ix). 

(f) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary none of the Lenders or the existing Borrower will be
required to execute assumption or amendment documents to add a Person as a Borrower or as a Subsidiary Guarantor. If Real Property assets are added to the Pool in accordance with this Agreement and the owner is not already a Borrower or Subsidiary
Guarantor, then such owner may be added as a Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor as required by Section 5.12 pursuant to a Joinder Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F executed by such owner and delivered
to the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 

(a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of
counsel for the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, in connection with the closing of the credit facilities provided for herein (including any and all due diligence performed in connection therewith), the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein, the preparation of this Agreement or any amendments, 

  
 120 












 
modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all mortgage taxes and other charges incurred or
required to be paid by the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent in connection with the Loan Documents, (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, and (iv) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for
the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of
Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred (including any Appraisal costs) during any waivers, workout, restructuring or negotiations in
respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. 
 (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent, the Issuing Bank, and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution
or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby,
(ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly
comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in
any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether
any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a court of law in a final non-appealable judgment, or the breach of this Agreement by the Indemnitee, including without limitation, the failure of the Indemnitee
to make advances pursuant to its Commitment in breach of its obligations hereunder. 
 (c) To the extent that the Borrower
fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Bank, or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the
unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, in its capacity as
such. 

  
 121 












 (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower and each other
Credit Party shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or
as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan, any Letter of Credit, or the use of the proceeds thereof. 

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten (10) days after written demand therefor. 

Section 9.04 Successors and Assigns. 

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit) except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties
hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees
(other than to a natural Person, any Credit Party or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Credit Party) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment of any Class and the Loans
of any Class at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of: 

(A) the Borrower, provided that (i) no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee, and (ii) such consent shall be deemed granted unless Borrower objects within ten (10 Business Days of a receipt of written notice of
the proposed assignment; 
 (B) the Issuing Bank; and 

(C) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a
Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund. 

  
 122 












 Provided, no consent of the Borrower or Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank
shall be required in connection with any assignment to an entity acquiring, or merging with, a Lender. 
 (ii) Assignments shall be
subject to the following additional conditions: 
 (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a
Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of any Class of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of
the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000.00 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no
such consent of the Borrower shall be required if a Default has occurred and is continuing and such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; 

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment of the Class assigned;  

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption (which
may effect simultaneous assignments of Loans and Commitments of more than one Class), together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.00; and 

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 

For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following
meaning: 
 “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding
or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that
administers or manages a Lender. 
 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to
paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment
and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be
treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section. 

  
 123 












 (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC
Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may
treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower,
the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (v) Upon its
receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and
recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and
record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 

(c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender, or the Administrative Agent,
sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans
owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations,
(iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and
(iv) Borrower’s obligations hereunder shall not be increased. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to
approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification
or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (d) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each
Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(c) as though it were a Lender. Each
Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a 

  
 124 












 
register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under
the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that, except in the case of a Participant asserting any right of set-off pursuant to Section 9.08, no Lender shall
have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other
obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in registered form under
Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent)
shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 
 (d) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive
any greater payment under Sections 2.14 or 2.16 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 Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrower is notified of
the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.16(e) as though it were a Lender. 

(e) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to
secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or
assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

Section 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower and each other Credit
Party herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and the Collateral Agent and shall survive the execution
and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent,
the Issuing Bank, or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any
accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of
Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 2.17(f) and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the
repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

  
 125 












 Section 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Joint and Several. 

(a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which
shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. 
 (b) This Agreement
and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral
or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. 
 (c) Except as provided in Section 4.01, this
Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties
hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 (d) To the extent such representations, warranties,
covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities are not performed by Borrower, the Guarantor and each Person constituting the Credit Parties shall be bound jointly and severally with one another to make, keep, observe and perform the
representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities imposed by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents upon the “Borrower” or any other Credit Party. 

(e) Each Credit Party agrees that it shall never be entitled to be subrogated to any of the Administrative Agent’s, the
Issuing Bank’s, or any Lender’s rights against any Credit Party or other Person or any collateral or offset rights held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank, or the Lenders for payment of the Loans or
reimbursement of LC Disbursement until the full and final payment of the Loans and all LC Disbursements, the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, and the full and final payment of all other obligations incurred under the Loan
Documents and final termination of the Lenders’ obligations, if any, to make further advances under this Agreement or to provide any other financial accommodations to any Credit Party. The value of the consideration received and to be received
by each Credit Party is reasonably worth at least as much as the liability and obligation of each Credit Party incurred or arising under the Loan Documents. Each Credit Party has determined that such liability and obligation may reasonably be
expected to substantially benefit each Credit Party directly or indirectly. Each Credit Party has had full and complete access to the underlying papers relating to the Loans and the Letters of Credit and all of the Loan Documents, has reviewed them
and is fully aware of the meaning and effect of their contents. Each Credit Party is fully informed of all circumstances which bear upon the risks of executing the Loan Documents and which a diligent inquiry would reveal. Each Credit Party has
adequate means to obtain from each other Credit Party on a 

  
 126 












 
continuing basis information concerning such other Credit Party’s financial condition, and is not depending on the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, or the Lenders to provide such
information, now or in the future. Each Credit Party agrees that neither the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, nor any of the Lenders shall have any obligation to advise or notify any Credit Party or to provide any Credit Party with any data
or information regarding any other Credit Party. 
 (f) Keepwell(g) . Each Credit Party that is a Qualified ECP Party
at the time that this Agreement becomes effective with respect to any Hedging Obligation, 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 that is not then an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act (a “Specified Credit Party”) to honor all of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
in respect of Hedging Obligations (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Party’s obligations and undertakings under this
Section 9.06(f) voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP Party under this Section shall
remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. Each Qualified ECP Party intends this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of,
and a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Specified Credit Party for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act. 

Section 9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 9.08 Right of
Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the Issuing Bank, and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and
apply any and all deposits of any Borrower (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender, the Issuing Bank, or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of a
Credit Party against any of and all the obligations of the Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall have made any demand
under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such setoff and application made by such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, provided that
the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender and the Issuing Bank under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which
such Lender or the Issuing Bank may have. 
 Section 9.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. 

  
 127 












 (a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the State of New York. Notwithstanding the foregoing choice of law, provisions of Federal law and the law of such other jurisdiction(s) shall apply in defining the terms Hazardous Materials, Environmental Laws and Legal Requirements

proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

(c) Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do
so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section.
Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in
Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 

Section 9.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY
RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY
OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING
WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

 Section 9.11 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of
Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

Section 9.12 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of
the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the
Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required
by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in (other
than a competitor of Borrower or Guarantor), any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; provided that such prospective assignee or participant shall agree to destroy or return all such Information if it does not become a Lender or
Participant hereunder, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Credit Party relating to the Credit Party or its business, other
than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Credit Party or subsequently becomes publicly available other than as a result of a
disclosure of such information by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, or any Lender; provided that, in the case of information received from any Credit Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of
delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to
maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 
 Section 9.13
Interest Rate Limitation. If at any time there exists a maximum rate of interest which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lenders in accordance with applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), then
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at any time the interest applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively,
the “Charges”), shall exceed such Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the
interest and Charges that would have been paid in respect of such Loan but were not payable as result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to the Lenders in respect of other Loans or periods shall
be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Overnight Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by the Lenders. If, for any reason whatsoever, the Charges
paid or received on the Loans 

  
 129 












 
produces a rate which exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Lenders shall credit against the principal of the Loans (or, if such indebtedness shall have been paid in full, shall refund to the payor of
such Charges) such portion of said Charges as shall be necessary to cause the interest paid on the Loans to produce a rate equal to the Maximum Rate. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the holders of the Loans for the use, forbearance or
detention of the Loans shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts throughout the full term of this Agreement, so that the interest rate is uniform throughout the full term of this
Agreement. The provisions of this Section shall control all agreements, whether now or hereafter existing and whether written or oral, between the parties hereto. Without notice to the Borrower or any other person or entity, the Maximum Rate, if
any, shall automatically fluctuate upward and downward as and in the amount by which such maximum nonusurious rate of interest permitted by applicable law fluctuates. 

Section 9.14 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT
Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of the Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Credit Party in
accordance with the PATRIOT Act. As requested by any Lender, any Credit Party that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation shall deliver a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to such
Credit Party. 
 Section 9.15 Fiduciary Duty/No Conflicts. 

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

 Section 9.16 ERISA Representations. 

(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from
the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, that at least one of the following is and will be true: 

(i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or
more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement, 

(ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a
class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts),
PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions
involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect
to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or 

(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning
of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of
Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement. 

(b) In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause
(a) is true with respect to a Lender, such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date
such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower are not fiduciaries with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and
performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent or Borrower under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any
documents related hereto or thereto).

 Section 9.17 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent
that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guaranty, mortgage, or otherwise, for any Hedging Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported
QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan
Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): 

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a
U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such
Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such
interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special
Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such
Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. 

As used in this Section 9.17 the following terms shall have the definitions set forth below: 

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance
with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party. 
 “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered
entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a
“covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). 
 “Default
Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. 

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in
accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D). 
 Section 9.18 Erroneous Payments. 

  
 132 












 (a) If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender or any Person
(other than a Credit Party) who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender or other recipient other than a Credit Party (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that the
Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment
Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment
Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and
(y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this
§9.18 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later
than two Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a
demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or
portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient hereby further agrees that if it receives a
payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than,
or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not
preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error
or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case: 
 (i) it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of
immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of
immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment ; and 

  
 133 












 (ii) such Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives
funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within two (2) Business Days of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative
Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this §9.18(b). 

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this §9.18(b) shall not have any
effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to §9.18(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made. 

(c) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to
such Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the
Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a). 
 (d) (i) In the event that an
Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such
Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon
the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its
Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may
specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid
interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement
incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to the Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any
Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender
shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency
Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment 

  
 134 












 
Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such
assigning Lender, (D) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) the Administrative Agent will
reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments
shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.. 
 (ii) Subject to
Section 9.04, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return
Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any
recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other
distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then
owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time 

(e) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the
event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and
interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, to the rights and interests of such Lender) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous
Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Credit Parties’ Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loans that have been
assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrowers or any other Credit Party;
provided that this §9.18(e) shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing
for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall
not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from any Credit Party for the purpose of paying, prepaying,
repaying, discharging or otherwise satisfying any the Obligations hereunder. 

  
 135 












 (f) To the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, no Payment
Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand,
claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. 

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this §9.18 shall survive the resignation or replacement of
the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan
Document. 
 (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, but subject to clause
(e) above, no Credit Party nor any of their respective Affiliates shall have any obligations or liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of this §9.18 in respect of any Erroneous Payment.
