 1.04 Accounting Terms. (a) Generally. All accounting terms not specifically or
completely defined herein shall be construed in conformity with, and all financial data (including financial ratios and other financial calculations) required to be submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in conformity with, GAAP
applied on a consistent basis, as in effect from time to time, applied in a manner consistent with that used in preparing the financial statements referred to in Section 5.08, except as otherwise specifically prescribed herein

 (b) Changes in GAAP. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth

 ARTICLE II. 
 THE COMMITMENTS 
 2.01 Loans. Each Lender hereby severally agrees, on any Business Day during
the Availability Period, (a) to make loans (each such loan, a “Loan”) to the Company from time to time on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and (b) to purchase receivables on the terms and conditions set
forth in the Receivables Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Borrowing, (i) the sum of the Total Outstandings plus the aggregate outstanding amount of Purchasers’ Investments shall
not exceed the Aggregate Commitments; (ii) the aggregate outstanding amount of Purchasers’ Investment shall not exceed the Purchasers’ Investment Limit; (iii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Loans of any Lender
plus such Lender’s Percentage of the aggregate outstanding amount of Purchasers’ Investment in its capacity as a Purchaser under the Receivables Purchase Agreement shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment; (iv) each
Lender’s Percentage of the aggregate outstanding amount of Purchasers’ Investments in its capacity as a Purchaser under the Receivables Purchase Agreement shall not exceed its Purchaser Commitment; and (v) each Lender’s
Applicable Percentage hereunder shall at all times be equal to such Lender’s Percentage under, and as defined in, the Receivables Purchase Agreement. Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment, and subject to the other terms and
conditions hereof, the Company may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay pursuant to Section 2.03 and reborrow pursuant to this Section 2.01. Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further
provided herein. 
 2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans. 
 (a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the
Company’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than (i) 9:00 a.m. three Business Days prior to the requested date of any
Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) 9:00 a.m. on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by the
Company pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. Each Borrowing of,
conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or
a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Company is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar
Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans
to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Company fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if the Company fails to give a
timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any 

  

 20 








 
such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable
Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Company requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one
month. 
 (b) Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify (and in any event within two hours of
receipt thereof) each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Company, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of
any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the
Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial
Borrowing, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Company in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Company on the books of
Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Company. 
 (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such
Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be made as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate
Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders of any change in Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate
promptly following the public announcement of such change. 
 (e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one
Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than (i) five Interest Periods that are not Seven Day Interest Periods and (ii) two Seven Day Interest Periods in effect with respect to Loans.

 2.03 Prepayments. 
 (a)
The Company may, upon written notice or telephonic notice confirmed in writing to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such
written or telephonic notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 9:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans;
(ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a
whole multiple of $100,000 in 

  

 21 








 
excess thereof or, in each of clause (ii) and (iii) above, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such
notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be repaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender (by
telecopy, telex, other electronic means or telephone) of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall make such
prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any
additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Except as set forth in Section 10.14, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.

 (b) If for any reason the sum of Total Outstandings plus the aggregate amount of Purchasers’ Investment at any time exceeds
the Aggregate Commitments then in effect, then the Company shall immediately prepay Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. 
 2.04 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. 
 (a) The Company may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the
Aggregate Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 9:00 a.m. three Business Days prior to the date of
termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Commitments if,
after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the sum of the Total Outstandings plus the aggregate amount of Purchasers’ Investment would exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (iv) if, after giving effect
to any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments, the Purchasers’ Investment Limit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Commitments, such Purchasers’ Investment Limit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its
Applicable Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. 
 (b) Any reduction or termination of the Purchasers’ Investment Limit pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement shall automatically and concurrently reduce the Purchasers’ Investment Limit (but not the
Aggregate Commitment) for purposes of this Agreement to an amount equal to such Purchasers’ Investment Limit, as so reduced, or terminate the Purchasers’ Investment Limit, as the case may be. 
 2.05 Repayment of Loans. The Company shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding on such
date. 
  

 22 








 2.06 Interest. 
 (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal
to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the
Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (b) (i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any
applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default
Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 
 (ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by
the Company under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear
interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 
 (iii) Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, the Company shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per
annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 
 (iv) Accrued and unpaid
interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. 
 (c) Interest on each Loan
shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and
before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. 
 2.07 Fees. 
 (a) Commitment Fee. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage,
a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Commitments exceed the sum of (i) the Total Outstandings plus (ii) the aggregate outstanding amount of Purchasers’
Investments. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last
Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there
is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. 
  

 23 








 (b) Other Fees. (i) The Company shall pay to the Arranger and the Administrative Agent, for
the account of the Lenders or for their own respective accounts, as applicable, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

 (ii) The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent such fees as may from time to time be agreed upon between the
Company and the Administrative Agent. 
 2.08 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans
(including Base Rate Loans determined with reference to the Eurodollar Rate as set forth in clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual
days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year).
Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on
which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.10(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 2.09 Evidence of Debt. The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such
Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the
Company and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Company hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the
event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of
manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Company shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such
accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. 
 2.10 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. 
 (a) General. All payments to be made by the Company shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or
set-off. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Company hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s
Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of
such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed received on the 

  

 24 








 
next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Subject to the provisions in the definition of “Interest
Period”, if any payment to be made by the Company shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the
case may be. 
 (b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 10:00 a.m. on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the
Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate
Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Company a corresponding amount. In such event, if a
Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds
with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Company to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays its
share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative
Agent’s demand therefor, then the Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made
available to the Company to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent at the interest rate applicable to the Borrowing. If the Company and the applicable Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or
an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Company the amount of such interest paid by the Company for such period. Any payment by the Company shall be without prejudice to any claim the Company may have against a
Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 
 (ii) Payments by Company; Presumptions
by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Company prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Company will not
make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Company has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Company has
not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders 

  

 25 








 
severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with
interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent
in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Company
with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
 (c) Failure to
Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the
Company by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Borrowing set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as
received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. 
 (d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders
hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder
shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).

 (e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place
or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 
 2.11 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. 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 the
Loans made by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving
such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the
benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that: 
 (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations
shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and 
 (ii) the
provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of 

  

 26 








 
this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender pursuant to Section 10.14 or as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a
participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Company or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply). 
 The Company 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 Company rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Company in the amount of such participation.

 2.12 Increase in Commitments. 
 (a) Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Default or Termination Event, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lender(s) or potential lender(s) (which such potential lender(s) shall be
Eligible Assignees hereunder) which the Company, in consultation with the Administrative Agent, determines to request to make all or a portion of such increase), the Company may from time to time, request an increase in the Aggregate Commitments by
an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $200,000,000; provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000, (ii) the Company may increase the Aggregate Commitments no more than ten
(10) times, and (iii) the entire amount of such increase shall be applicable only with respect to the Commitments of the Lenders to make Loans and shall not be or result in any increase in the Purchasers’ Investment Limit. At the time
of sending such notice, the Company (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender or potential lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the
date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders or potential lenders). 
 (b) Lender Elections to Increase. Each Lender or potential
lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment (provided, however, that no Lender has any obligation to increase its Commitment, and each Lender may grant or
withhold its consent to any such increase in its Commitment in accordance with this Section 2.12 in its sole discretion) or agrees to participate in such increase, as applicable, and, if so, by what amount. Any Lender or potential lender
not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment. 
 (c) Notification by
Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company 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 (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Company may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel. Each such Eligible Assignee that executes a joinder agreement to this Agreement shall also be required to become a Purchaser under the Receivables Purchase Agreement. 
 (d) Effective Date and Allocations. If the Aggregate Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent
and the Company shall determine the 

  

 27 








 
effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the
Company and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date. 
 (e) Conditions to Effectiveness of
Increase. As a condition precedent to such increase, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the Company dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible
Officer of the Company certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V (except the representation and warranty contained in Section 5.09) and the
other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material 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 (B) no Default or Event of Default exists or shall result from such increase. The Company shall prepay any Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts
required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section. 
 (f) Conditions under Receivables Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding the provisions herein, it shall be a condition precedent to any increase in
the Aggregate Commitments under this Section 2.12 that there shall be no Yield Periods, Purchase Rate, Purchased Interests, Purchasers’ Investments or Yield Reserves (each as defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement)
outstanding under the Receivables Purchase Agreement on the Increase Effective Date. 
 (g) Conflicting Provisions. This
Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.11 or 10.01 to the contrary. 
 ARTICLE III. 

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 
 3.01 Taxes. 
 (a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. 
 (i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Company hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free
and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided, however, that if applicable Laws require the Company or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in
accordance with such Laws as determined by the Company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below. 
 (ii) If the Company or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Internal Revenue Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including
both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the 

  

 28 








 
Company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Administrative Agent to be required
based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant
Governmental Person in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Company shall be increased as necessary so
that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made. 
 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Company. Without
limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Company shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Person in accordance with applicable Laws. 
 (c) Tax Indemnifications. 
 (i) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, the Company shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 30 days
after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent or such
Lender, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Person. The
Company shall also, and does hereby indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative
Agent as required by clause (ii) of this subsection; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to the Administrative Agent, be available to the extent that such amount is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final
and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the Company 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. 
 (ii) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Company and the Administrative Agent, and shall make payable in respect
thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Company or the
Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Company or the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Person as a result of the failure by such 

  

 29 








 
Lender to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender to the Company or
the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e). Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any
amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in the clause (ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a
Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. 
 (d)
Evidence of Payments. Upon request of the Company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Company or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Person as provided in this Section 3.01,
the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Company, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Person evidencing such payment, a copy of
any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be. 
 (e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. 
 (i) Each Lender shall deliver to the Company and to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly
completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to
determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available
exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable
jurisdiction. 
 (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Company is resident for tax purposes in the
United States: 
 (A) Any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of
the Internal Revenue Code shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent executed originals of IRS Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by the Company or the
Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and 
 (B) Each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Internal Revenue 

  

 30 








 
Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall
deliver to the Company 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 request of the Company or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (I) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a
party, 
 (II) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI, 
 (III) executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation; 
 (IV) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Internal
Revenue Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company
within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN, or

 (V) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a
reduction in United States Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine the withholding or
deduction required to be made. 
 (iii) Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Company and the Administrative Agent of
any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably
necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that the Company or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such
Lender. 
 (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any
obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted 

  

 31 








 
from the funds paid for the account of such Lender. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a
refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Company or with respect to which the Company has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Company an amount equal to such refund (but
only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Company under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable and actual out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Person with respect to such refund), provided that the Company, upon the request of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Company (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Person) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the
Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Person. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information
relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Company or any other Person. 
 3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines
that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Person has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon
the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Person has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the
Company through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans or, if such notice relates to the unlawfulness or asserted unlawfulness of
charging interest based on the Eurodollar Rate, to make Base Rate Loans as to which the interest rate is determined with reference to the Eurodollar Rate, shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Company that
the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans
of such Lender and Base Rate Loans as to which the interest rate is determined with reference to the Eurodollar Rate to Base Rate Loans as to which the rate of interest is not determined with reference to the Eurodollar Rate, either on the last day
of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or promptly, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans. Upon any such
prepayment or conversion, the Company shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.02, the affected Lender shall designate a
different Lending Office with respect to its Eurodollar Rate Loans or with respect to determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice or making such demand and
will not, in the judgment of the Lender, be illegal or otherwise disadvantageous to the Lender. 
 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates.
If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London 

  

 32 








 
interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist
for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in connection with a Base Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a
proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or
maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of,
conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein. 
 3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. 
 (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: 
 (i) impose, modify or
deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except, in all cases, any reserve
requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e)); 
 (ii) subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with
respect to this Agreement or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except, in all cases, for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the
imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); or 
 (iii) impose on any Lender or the
London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender; 
 and the result of any
of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender
hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender (with a copy of such request to the Administrative Agent), the Company will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. Each Lender agrees to notify the Company of the occurrence of such an increased cost event promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof. 
 (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such
Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this
Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for 

  

 33 








 
such Change in Law taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy, by an amount which such Lender deems to be
material, the Lender shall deliver to the Company a statement of the amount necessary to compensate such Lender for the reduction in the rate of return on its capital attributable to such commitments (the “Capital Compensation
Amount”). The Lender shall determine the Capital Compensation Amount in good faith, using reasonable attribution and averaging methods. The Lender shall from time to time notify the Company of the amount so determined. As soon as
practicable after any Change in Law, each Lender seeking compensation under this Section shall submit to the Company estimates of the Capital Compensation Amounts that would be payable as a function of such Lender’s commitments hereunder.

 (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate, in reasonable detail, of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary
to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Company shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay
such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or
delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Company shall not be
required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company of the Change in Law
giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 
 (e) Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.
The Company shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required by applicable Laws to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as
“Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith,
which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Company shall have received at least 30 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 30 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 30 days from receipt of such notice. 
 3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Company shall promptly
compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 
 (a) any
continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

  

 34 








 (b) any failure by the Company (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to
prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Company; or 
 (c) any
assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 10.13; 
 including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which
such funds were obtained. The Company shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. 
 For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Company to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a
matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded. 
 3.06 Mitigation Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Company is required to pay any additional
amount to any Lender or any Governmental Person for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall, as applicable, use its reasonable best
efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if,
in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant
to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. 
 3.07 Survival. All of the Company’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments,
repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

 ARTICLE V. 
 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
 In order to induce the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to enter
into this Agreement and to make any extension of credit hereunder, the Company represents and warrants to each Lender and the Administrative Agent that the following statements are true, correct and complete: 
 5.01 Organization and Powers. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware; and, except for changes in the ordinary course of business or as permitted or contemplated by this Agreement, each of the Material Subsidiaries is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation; and each has all requisite corporate power and authority to own and operate its properties, to carry on its business as now conducted and proposed to be conducted and, in the case of the Company, to enter into this
Agreement and each Guarantor Subordination Agreement, to issue the Notes and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. 
 5.02 Good Standing. The Company and, except for changes in the ordinary course of business or as permitted or contemplated by this Agreement, each Material Subsidiary is in good standing wherever necessary to carry on its present
business and operations, except in jurisdictions in which the failure to be in good standing has or will have no Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.03 Material Subsidiaries. Except for changes in the ordinary course of business or as permitted or contemplated by this Agreement, Schedule 5.03 hereto correctly sets forth the name, jurisdiction of incorporation and
ownership interest of the Company in each of its Material Subsidiaries as of the date hereof. 
 5.04 Authorization of Borrowing. The
execution, delivery and performance of each Loan Document to which it is a party, the acknowledgement of each Guarantor Subordination Agreement and the issuance, delivery and payment of the Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action by the Company. 
 5.05 No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement, the
acknowledgement of each Guarantor Subordination Agreement and the issuance, delivery and payment of the Notes do not and will not (a) violate the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, (b) violate any provision of
law applicable to the Company, or any material order, judgment or decree of any court or other agency of government binding on the Company, the violation of which would result in a Material Adverse Effect, (c) conflict with, result in a breach
of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any Contractual Obligation of the Company, (d) result in or require the creation or imposition of any material lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance of any
nature whatsoever upon any of its material properties or assets, or (e) require any approval of stockholders or any approval or consent of any Person under any Contractual Obligation of the Company. 
 5.06 Governmental Consents. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of each Loan Document to which it is a party and each
agreement, document, or instrument required hereunder, the acknowledgment of each Guarantor Subordination Agreement and the issuance, delivery and payment of the Notes do not and will not require any registration with, consent or approval of, or
notice to, or other action to, with or by, any Federal, state or other governmental authority or regulatory body or other such person. 
  

 38 








 5.07 Binding Obligation. This Agreement is, and each other Loan Document to which it is a party,
when executed and delivered hereunder will be, the legally valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws or equitable principles relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally. 
 5.08
Financial Condition. The Company has heretofore delivered to the Lenders a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, and related consolidated statements of income,
shareholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company and its Subsidiaries for such fiscal year, audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and all other financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01. All such
statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP and fairly present the consolidated financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at the date thereof and the consolidated results of operations and statement of cash flow of the Company
and its Subsidiaries for the period then ended. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any material Contingent Obligation, liability for taxes or long-term lease which as of the date of this Agreement, individually or in the aggregate,
would, if it became absolute, result in a Material Adverse Effect which is not reflected in the financial statements delivered prior to the date hereof or in the notes thereto. 
 5.09 Changes, Etc. Since December 31, 2008, there has been no event or events that have, either individually or in the aggregate, resulted in
a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.10 Title to Properties. The Company and its Subsidiaries have good, sufficient and legal title to all
the properties and assets reflected in the consolidated balance sheet referred to in Section 5.08 except as set forth in said balance sheet or in the notes thereto, except for assets acquired or disposed of in the ordinary course of
business or as otherwise permitted by this Agreement since December 31, 2008, and except for immaterial defects in title as could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.11 Litigation; Adverse Facts. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.11 hereto, there is no action, suit, proceeding or arbitration (whether
or not purportedly on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) at law or in equity or before or by any Federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign,
pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Company’s or such Subsidiaries’ properties which, in the reasonable judgment of the Company and its executive
officers (assuming adverse determination of facts which the Company in good faith believes it would not successfully disprove, and considering damages which in their best judgment is the maximum that would be awarded upon, and the likelihood of, an
adverse determination of the claim or the amount which reflects their best judgment as to that required to be paid to settle the claims) would result in a Material Adverse Effect and there is no basis known to such executive officers for any such
action, suit or proceeding. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is (i) in violation of any applicable Law which could result in a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) subject to or in default 

  

 39 








 
with respect to any final judgment, writ, injunction, decree, rule or regulation of any court or Federal, state, municipal or other governmental department,
commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, which could result in a Material Adverse Effect. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or
affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which provides a reasonable basis for questioning the validity or the enforceability of any Loan Document. 
 5.12 Payment of Taxes. All tax returns and reports of the Company and its Material Subsidiaries required to be filed by any of them have been timely filed, and all taxes, assessments, fees and other
governmental charges upon the Company and its Subsidiaries and upon their respective properties, assets, income and franchises which are due and payable have been paid when due and payable or bonded against, except to the extent permitted by
Section 6.05. The Company knows of no proposed tax assessment against it or any of its Subsidiaries that would result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.13 Agreements. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to or is subject to any material agreement or instrument or charter or other internal restriction which results in a Material Adverse
Effect. 
 5.14 Performance. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default in the performance, observance or
fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any Contractual Obligation of the Company, and no condition exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default, except, in
any such case, where the consequences, direct or indirect, of such default or defaults, if any, would not result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.15 Governmental Regulation. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to regulation under the Federal Power Act, the Interstate Commerce Act or the Investment Company Act of 1940 or to any Federal or state statute
or regulation limiting its ability in any material way to incur Indebtedness for money borrowed. 
 5.16 Employee Benefit Plans.

 (a) The Company and each of its ERISA Affiliates is in compliance in all material respects with any applicable provisions of ERISA and the
regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to all Plans. Each Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS or an application
for such a letter is currently being processed by the IRS with respect thereto and, to the best knowledge of the Company, nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification, except to the extent any failure to obtain
or apply for such determination letter, or any such disqualification, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and each ERISA Affiliate have made all required contributions to each Plan subject to
Section 412 of the Internal Revenue Code, and no application for a funding waiver pursuant to Section 412 of the Internal Revenue Code has been made with respect to any Plan, except to the extent any failure to make such contributions, or
any such funding waiver, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
  

 40 








 (b) There are no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened claims, actions or
lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Person, with respect to any Plan that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There has been no prohibited transaction or violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to
any Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (c) (i) No ERISA Event has occurred or

Lender to make Loans shall automatically terminate and the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable without further act of the Administrative Agent or

(including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such; 
 Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable

 ARTICLE IX. 
 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
 9.01 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably
appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the
Company shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 
 9.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving
as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or
“Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits
from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent
hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 
 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not
have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: 
 (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or
in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan
Document or applicable Law; and 
 (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to
disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any
capacity. 
  

 53 








 The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the
consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in
Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) 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 notice describing such Default is
given to the Administrative Agent by the Company or a Lender. 
 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 or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or
thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (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. 
 9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or
intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone
and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction
of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative
Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel,
accountants or experts. 
 9.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its
rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its
rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article 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. 
 9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required
Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Company, to appoint a successor, which shall be (a) a bank with an office in the United States, or 

  

 54 








 
an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States, and (b) consented to by the Company at all times other than during the existence of
an Event of Default (such consent of the Company not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring
Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, after consulting with the Company, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, which
successor shall be consented to by the Company at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (such consent of the Company not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that if the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Company and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative
Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall
instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent
hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties
and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Company to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall
continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as
Administrative Agent. 
 9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into
this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to
time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 9.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arranger, Co-Syndication Agents or Co-Managing
Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender. 
  

 55 








 9.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding
under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Company) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that
are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.07 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to
make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.07 and 10.04. 
 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any
plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. 
 9.10 Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Guarantor
from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative
Agent’s authority to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10.

consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders may be effected with the consent of all Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (i) the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended, the
principal of or (except as provided in the proviso clause (d) above) the rate of interest for Loans of such Defaulting Lender or fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to such Defaulting Lender may not be

accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. 
 Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon
the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such notice or other

 (c) The Platform. 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

any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Company’s or the 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

Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, 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 the Company or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws. 
  


 59 








 (e) Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders
shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Company even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or
followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Related Parties of
each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Company. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the
Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 
 10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement. No failure by any Guaranteed Party or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of
them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit
of all the Guaranteed Parties; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as
Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising set-off rights in accordance with Section 10.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.11), or (c) any Lender form
filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting
as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the
matters set forth in clauses (b) or (c) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.11, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as
authorized by the Required Lenders.

delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof 

  

 60 








 
(whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in
respect of such Loans. 
 (b) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent
thereof), 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 any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Company or any other Loan Party arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations
hereunder or thereunder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents (including in respect of any matters addressed by Section 3.01), (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or
proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Company or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto;
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and
nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Company or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such
Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Company or such other Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Company for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under
subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount,
provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or
against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of
Section 2.10(d). 
  

 61 








 (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the
Company 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, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection
(b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other
information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (e) Payments. All amounts
due under this Section shall be payable not later than 30 days after demand therefor. 
 (f) Survival. The agreements in this
Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. 
 10.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Company is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender,
or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including
pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then
(a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and
(b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand
to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the
Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
 10.06 Successors and Assigns. 
 (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Company may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no
Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with

this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this
Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans; provided that such Lender concurrently assigns a ratable portion of its Purchaser Commitment and its Percentage of the Purchasers’ Investment under the Receivables
Purchase Agreement; and provided further that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: 
 (i)
Minimum Amounts. 
 (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s
Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and 
 (B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for
this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and
Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the
Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to
members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining
whether such minimum amount has been met. 
 (ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned. 
 (iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection
(b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition: 
 (A) the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and 
  

 63 








 (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to be a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender. 
 (iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment
and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500 (which fee includes any assignment fees in connection with the concurrent assignment of interests under the Receivables Purchase Agreement); provided,
however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Administrative Questionnaire. 
 (v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the
Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that are Distressed Persons, or (C) a natural person. 
 Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the
effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under
this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all
of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with
respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Company (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of
this Section. 
 (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall
maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office 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 Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans
owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Company, the Administrative Agent 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. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register the designation, and
revocation or 

  

 64 








 
designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender of which it has received notice. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any
Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time,
without the consent of, or notice to, the Company or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans; 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 Company, the Administrative Agent and the 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) such Lender shall concurrently with any sale of a participation herein sell a ratable participation in the
Receivables Purchase Agreement and thereafter cause any such participation to remain ratable with such participation in the Receivables Purchase Agreement. 
 Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first
proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and
3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits
of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.11 as though it were a Lender. 
 (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been
entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a
Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Company, to comply with
Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender. 
 (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security
interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no
such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information 

  

 65 








 
(as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors,
officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and will agree to be obligated to keep such
Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it, such as the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, provided that the Administrative Agent or the Lender, as the case may be, shall disclose only the
information required by such request and shall notify the Company in advance of such disclosure so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any
remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement in writing containing
provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be
a Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(c) or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Company and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Company or
(h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other
than the Company. 
 For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Company or
any Subsidiary relating to the Company or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company
or any Subsidiary. 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. 
 Each of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Company or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use
of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws. 
 10.08 Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the
occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default (after the giving of any notice and the expiration of any grace period contained in the definition thereof), each Lender, each of its Affiliates and each subsequent holder of any Note
is hereby authorized by the Company at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Company, or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate any and all deposits (including, but not
limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured but not 

  

 66 








 
including trust accounts) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by that Lender or Affiliate (including, without limitation, branches or
agencies of such Lender or Affiliate wherever located) or that subsequent holder to or for the credit or the account of the Company and to apply any such amounts in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11 irrespective of whether
or not that Lender, Affiliate or that subsequent holder shall have made any demand hereunder and whether or not such deposits or other indebtedness are otherwise fully secured and that Lender, Affiliate and subsequent holder is hereby irrevocably
authorized to permit such setoff and appropriation. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or Affiliate; provided, however, that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. 
 10.09 Interest Rate Limitation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum
Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the
Company. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is
not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout
the contemplated term of the Loans hereunder. 
 10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other
Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in
Section 4.01, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall become effective when they shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken
together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement and any other Loan Document by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of
a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 10.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties.
All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such
representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Borrowing, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

  

 67 








 10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held
to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor
in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 10.13
Replacement of Lenders. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (ii) the Company is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Person for the account of any Lender pursuant
to Section 3.01, (iii) any Lender is not obligated to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, (iv) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (v) any
Lender has not consented to a proposed amendment, modification or waiver under this Agreement that requires the consent of the Required Lenders pursuant to Section 10.01 (but excluding in each case any Lender that has not consented to a
proposed amendment, modification or waiver under this Agreement that requires consent of such Lender pursuant to either proviso contained in Section 10.01) of which such proposed amendment, modification or waiver has otherwise been
approved by the Required Lenders, or (vi) any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Company the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations
under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee (the “Replacement Lender”) that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

 (a) the Company shall have paid or caused to be paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section
10.06(b); 
 (b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued
interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued
interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all other amounts); 
 (c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim
for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;  
 (d) the Company shall, at its sole expense and effort require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse, all of interests, rights and
obligations (including its Purchaser Commitment and its Percentage of the Purchasers’ Investments) under the Receivables Purchase Agreement to such Replacement Lender that shall assume such obligations as a “Purchaser” thereunder; and

  

 68 








 (e) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws. 
 A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
 10.14 Defaulting Lenders.
(a) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender (defined below), then, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, 
 (i) during any Default Period (defined below) with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01; 
 (ii) until such time as the Default Excess (defined below) with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero, any prepayment of the Loans shall, if the Company so directs at the time of making
such prepayment, be applied to the Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Loans outstanding; 
 (iii)
until such time as all Defaulted Payments (defined below) with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been paid, the Administrative Agent may (in its discretion) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account
of such Defaulting Lender to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s obligations to make such Defaulted Payments until such Defaulted Payments have been fully paid; 
 (iv) with respect to any Defaulting Lender with one or more Defaulted Loans, such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any
commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.07(a) for any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender (and the Company shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such
Defaulting Lender); 
 (v) at the request of the Company, any Defaulting Lender may be replaced in accordance with
Section 10.13; and 
 (vi) no assignments otherwise permitted by Section 10.06 shall be made to a
Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that are Distressed Persons (as defined below). 
 (b) As used in this Agreement:

 “Default Excess” means, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, the excess, if any, of such Defaulting
Lender’s ratable portion of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Loans of all Lenders (calculated as if all Defaulting Lenders had funded all of their respective Defaulted Loans) over the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans
of such Defaulting Lender. 
  

 69 








 “Default Period” means, with respect to any Defaulting Lender,

 (i) in the case of any Defaulted Loan, the period commencing on the date the applicable Defaulted Loan was required to be
extended to the Company under this Agreement and ending on the earlier of the following: (x) the date on which (A) the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender has been reduced to zero (whether by the funding of any
Defaulted Loan by such Defaulting Lender or by the non-pro-rata application of any prepayment pursuant to Section 10.14(a)(ii)) and (B) such Defaulting Lender shall have delivered to the Company and the Administrative Agent a
written reaffirmation of its intention to honor its obligations hereunder with respect to its Commitment; and (y) the date on which the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders (and not including such Defaulting Lender in any
such determination, in accordance with Section 10.14(a)(i)) waive the application of this Section 10.14 with respect to such Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender in writing; 
 (ii) in the case of any Defaulted Payment, the period commencing on the date the applicable Defaulted Payment was required to have been
paid to the Administrative Agent or other Lender under this Agreement and ending on the earlier of the following: (x) the date on which (A) such Defaulted Payment has been paid to the Administrative Agent or other Lender, as
applicable, together with (to the extent that such Person has not otherwise been compensated by the Company for such Defaulted Payment) interest thereon for each day from and including the date such amount is paid but excluding the date of payment,
at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with its then-applicable policies regarding interbank compensation (whether by the funding of any Defaulted Payment by such Defaulting Lender or
by the application of any amount pursuant to Section 10.14(a)(iii)) and (B) such Defaulting Lender shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent or other Lender, as applicable, a written reaffirmation of its intention to honor
its obligations hereunder with respect to such payments; and (y) the date on which the Administrative Agent and any such other Lender waive the application of this Section 10.14 with respect to such Defaulted Payments of such
Defaulting Lender in writing; and 
 (iii) in the case of any Distress Event determined by the Administrative Agent (in its
good faith judgment) or the Required Lenders (in their respective good faith judgment) to exist, the period commencing on the date of the applicable Distress Event was so determined to exist and ending on the earlier of the following:
(x) the date on which (A) such Distress Event is determined by the Administrative Agent (in its good faith judgment) or the Required Lenders (in their respective good faith judgment) to no longer exist and (B) such Defaulting Lender
shall have delivered to the Company and the Administrative Agent a written reaffirmation of its intention to honor its obligations hereunder with 

  

 70 








 
respect to its Commitment; and (y) such date as the Company and the Administrative Agent mutually agree, in their sole discretion, to waive the
application of this Section 10.14 with respect to Distress Event of such Defaulting Lender. 
 “Defaulted Loan”
has the meaning specified in the definition of “Defaulting Lender”. 
 “Defaulted Payment” has the meaning
specified in the definition of “Defaulting Lender”. 
 “Defaulting Lender” means any Lender that (a) has
failed to fund any portion of the Loans required to be funded by it hereunder (each such Loan, a “Defaulted Loan”) within three Business Days of the date required to be funded by it hereunder, (b) has otherwise failed to pay
over to Administrative Agent or any other Lender any other amount required to be paid by it hereunder (each such payment, a “Defaulted Payment”) within three Business Days of the date when due, unless the subject of a good faith
dispute, or (c) as to which a Distress Event has occurred, in each case in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above, for so long as the applicable Default Period is in effect, or (d) is a “Defaulting
Purchaser” under the Receivables Purchase Agreement (as such term is defined therein). 
 “Distress Event” means, with
respect to any Person (each, a “Distressed Person”), (i) a voluntary or involuntary case (or comparable proceeding) has been commenced with respect to such Person under any Debtor Relief Law, (ii) a custodian, conservator,
receiver or similar official has been appointed for such Person or for any substantial part of such Person’s assets, (iii) both (a) after the date hereof, such Person has consummated a forced (in the good faith judgment of the
Administrative Agent) liquidation, merger, sale of assets or other transaction resulting, in the good faith judgment of the Administrative Agent, in a change of ownership or operating control of such Person supported in whole or in part by
guaranties, assumption of liabilities or other comparable credit support of (including without limitation the nationalization or assumption of ownership or operating control by) any Governmental Person and (b) the Administrative Agent (in its
good faith judgment) or the Required Lenders determine (in their respective good faith judgment) that such event materially increases the risk that such Person could reasonably be expected to default in performing its obligations hereunder for so
long as the Administrative Agent (in its good faith judgment) or the Required Lenders (in their respective good faith judgment) so determine, or (iv) such Person has made a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or has otherwise been
adjudicated as, or determined by any Governmental Person having regulatory authority over such Person or its assets to be, (a) insolvent or bankrupt or (b) deficient in meeting any capital adequacy or liquidity requirement of any
Governmental Person applicable to such Person and as a result of such deficiency either (x) is no longer permitted by such Governmental Person to continue operations or (y) the Administrative Agent (in its good faith judgment) or the
Required Lenders determine (in their respective good faith judgment) that such Person could reasonably be expected to no longer be able to continue operations. 
  

 71 








 Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Lender which as of the date hereof is already majority
owned by a Governmental Person or instrumentality, if such Governmental Person increases its ownership interest in such Lender, such event alone will not trigger clause (iii)(a) above and for purposes of clarity clause (iii)(a) is not
intended to cover such event. 
 “Distressed Person” has the meaning specified in the definition of “Distress
Event”. 
 10.15 Applicable Law. 
 (a) This Agreement, any Notes and the other Loan Documents (other than the Guaranty which shall be governed by California law) shall be governed by, and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal

Agreement may be brought in the courts of the State of New York sitting in the county of New York or of the United States for the Southern District of such State, and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Administrative Agent, the
Company and the Lenders consents, for itself and in respect of its property, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of those courts. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Company and the Lenders irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of forum
non conveniens, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any action or proceeding in such jurisdiction in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. The Administrative Agent, the Company and the Lenders each waive
personal service of any summons, complaint or other process, which may be made by any other means permitted by New York law. 
 10.16

INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND
EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY
COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Company acknowledges and
agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and the Lenders

other hand, (B) the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Company is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and
conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and the Lenders each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in
writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Company or any of its Affiliates or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent, the Arranger nor any Lender
has any obligation to the Company or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Arranger
and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and its Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent, the Arranger nor any Lender has
any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Company or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and the
Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby. 
 10.18 Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in
any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as
a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New
York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 
 10.19 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Company that pursuant to the requirements of

any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and
regulations, including the Act.
