 CREDIT AGREEMENT dated as of January 21, 2016 (this
“Agreement”), among CROWN CASTLE INTERNATIONAL CORP., a Delaware corporation, the LENDERS and ISSUING BANKS party hereto, and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as Administrative
Agent., and J.P. MORGAN
SECURITIES LLC, as Sustainability Structuring Agent. 
 The Borrower has
requested that (a) the Term Lenders extend credit in the form of Term Loans on the Effective Date in an aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000,000, (b) the Revolving Lenders extend credit in the form of Revolving Loans and the Issuing
Banks issue Letters of Credit, in each case at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period such that the Aggregate Revolving Exposure will not exceed $2,500,000,000 at any time and (c) the 364-Day Lenders extend
credit in the form of 364-Day Loans at any time and from time to time during the 364-Day Availability Period such that the 364-Day Aggregate Exposure will not exceed $1,000,000,000 at any time. 

The Lenders are willing to extend such credit to the Borrower, and the Issuing Banks are willing to issue Letters of Credit for the account of
the Borrower, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I

 Definitions 
 SECTION 1.01.
Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings specified below: 
 “ABR”, when used
in reference to any Loan or Borrowing, refers to whether such Loan, or the Loans comprising such Borrowing, are bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate. 

“Additional Lender” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 2.20(c). 

“Adjusted LIBO Rate” means, with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing for any Interest Period (or, solely for purposes of
clause (c) of the defined term “Alternate Base Rate”, for purposes of determining the Alternate Base Rate as of any date), an interest rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/100 of 1%) equal to (a) the LIBO
Rate for such Interest Period (or such date, as applicable) multiplied by (b) the Statutory Reserve Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Adjusted LIBO Rate as calculated in the immediately preceding sentence is less than zero,
then the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be deemed to be zero. 
 “Administrative Agent” means JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its
capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and its successors in such capacity as provided in Article VIII. 












 “Administrative Questionnaire” means an administrative questionnaire in a
form supplied by the Administrative Agent. 

“Affected Financial
Institution” means (a) any EEA Financial Institution or (b) any UK Financial Institution. 

“Affiliate” means, with respect to a specified Person, another Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more
intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with the Person specified. 
 “Aggregate Revolving
Commitment” means, at any time, the sum of the Revolving Commitments of all the Revolving Lenders at such time. 

“Aggregate Revolving Exposure” means, at any time, the sum of the Revolving Exposures of all the Revolving Lenders at such
time. 
 “Agreement” has the meaning assigned to such term in the introductory statement to this Credit Agreement. 

“Alternate Base Rate” means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such
day, (b) the Federal Funds
EffectiveNYFRB Rate in effect on such day
plus 1/2 of 1.00% per annum and (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate on such day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) plus 1.00% per annum. If the Administrative Agent shall have
determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that it is unable to ascertain the Federal Funds EffectiveNYFRB Rate for any reason, including the inability or failure of
the Administrative Agent to obtain sufficient quotations in accordance with the terms of the definition thereof, then the Alternate Base Rate shall be determined without regard to clause (b) of the preceding sentence until the circumstances
giving rise to such inability no longer exist. For purposes of clause (c) above, the Adjusted LIBO Rate on any day shall be based on the rate per annum appearing on the applicable Reuters screen page (currently page LIBOR01) displaying interest
rates for dollar deposits in the London interbank market (or, in the event such rate does not appear on a page of the Reuters screen, on the appropriate page of such other information service that publishes such rate as shall be selected by the
Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion) at approximately 11:00 a.m., (London time,) on such day for deposits in dollars with a maturity of one month; provided that if such rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero. If the Alternate Base Rate is being used as an alternate rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.13 (for the avoidance
of doubt, only until the Benchmark Replacement has been determined pursuant to Section 2.13(b)), then the Alternate Base Rate shall be the greater of clauses (a) and (b) above and shall be determined without reference to clause
(c) above. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal
Funds EffectiveNYFRB Rate or the Adjusted
LIBO Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds EffectiveNYFRB Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, respectively. 

  
 2

Document” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 9.06(b).

Subsidiaries from time to time concerning or relating to bribery or corruption. 
 “Anti-Terrorism Law” means any
Requirement of Law relating to money laundering or financing terrorism, including the USA PATRIOT Act, the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act (also known as the “Bank Secrecy Act of 1970”, 31 U.S.C. §§ 5311-5330 and

“Applicable Percentage” means, at any time with respect to any Revolving Lender, the percentage of the Aggregate Revolving
Commitment represented by such Lender’s Revolving Commitment at such time; provided that, at any time any Revolving Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, “Applicable Percentage” shall mean the percentage of the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments (disregarding any such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment) represented by such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment at such time. If the Revolving Commitments have terminated or expired, the Applicable
Percentages shall be determined based upon the Revolving Commitments most recently in effect, giving effect to any assignments of Revolving Loans and LC Exposures that occur after such termination or expiration and to any Revolving Lender’s
status as a Defaulting Lender.

 For the purposes of the foregoing pricing grids, changes in the Applicable Rate resulting from changes in the
Level shall become effective on the next business day after the date of the change in the related rating. The applicable “Level” will be based on the highest rating received from any of S&P, Moody’s or Fitch;
provided that if the lowest rating received from any such rating agency is two or more rating levels below the highest rating, the rating level next below the highest rating will apply; provided, however, that notwithstanding
the foregoing proviso, if any two such ratings are both at the highest rating, then such highest rating shall apply. If the rating system of S&P, Moody’s or Fitch shall change, or if any such rating agency shall cease to be in the business
of assigning senior unsecured debt ratings generally (any such rating agency, an “Affected Rating Agency”), the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Lenders) shall negotiate in good faith to amend this
definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from the Affected Rating Agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Rate shall be determined by reference to (x) the rating of
the rating agencies that are not Affected Rating Agencies or (y) if there is no rating agency that is not an Affected Rating Agency, the rating of the Affected Rating Agency most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation. 

It is hereby understood
and agreed that the Applicable Rate with respect to LIBOR Loans, ABR Loans and the Revolving Facility Commitment Fee shall be adjusted from time to time based upon the Sustainability Rate Adjustment and the Sustainability Commitment Fee Adjustment
(to be calculated and applied as set forth in Section 2.23).

 SECTION 1.07.
Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is determined by reference toa Loan may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Regulators
have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued,
and/or the LIBO
Rate,basis on which is derived from the London interbank offered
ratethey are calculated may change. The London interbank
offered rate (“LIBOR”) is intended to represent the rate
at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor
to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no
longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans. In light of this eventuality, public: (a) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease;
immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; and immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided
or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored.
There is no assurance that the dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition, or characteristics of LIBOR or the
currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. Each party to this Agreement should consult its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to
identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. In the event that the London interbank offered rate is no
longer available or in certain other circumstances as set forth in Section 2.13(b) of this Agreement, such Section 2.13
LIBOR. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other
Benchmark Rate Election, Sections 2.13(b) and (bc) providesprovide
 a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. 

  
 52 













 
The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower,
pursuant to Section 2.13(e),
in advance of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurodollar
Loansa Loan is based. However, the Administrative Agent
does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission,
performance or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBO
Rate”LIBOR or with respect to any alternative or
successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate
implemented
pursuant to Section 2.13(b) or Section 2.13(c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election
or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.13(d)), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative,
successor or replacement reference rate, as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.13(b), will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did
the London interbank offered
rateLIBOR prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any
alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its
reasonable discretion to ascertain the LIBO Rate, any component thereof or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person
for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise, and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any
such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

(other than this Agreement) submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into the Borrower with, any Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, (i) all provisions of such letter of credit application or other agreement purporting to grant Liens
in favor of such Issuing Bank to secure obligations in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be disregarded, (ii) in the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of such letter
of credit application or such other agreement, as applicable, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control, (iii) the aggregate face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit issued by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. shall not exceed $25,000,00050,000,000
 at any time without its consent, and (iv) the aggregate face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit issued by Bank of America, N.A. shall not exceed $25,000,00050,000,000
 at any time without its consent. 
 (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal,
Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit (other than any automatic renewal permitted pursuant to paragraph (c) of this
Section 2.04), the Borrower shall hand deliver or fax (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by such Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (not later than
12:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three (3) Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) in advance of the requested date of
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension
(which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section 2.04), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and
such other information as shall be necessary to enable the applicable Issuing Bank to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application
on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit the
Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed
$50,000,000100,000,000
, (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment and (iii) following the effectiveness of any Maturity Date Extension Request with respect
to the Revolving Commitments, the LC Exposure in 

  
 56 













 
respect of all Letters of Credit having an expiration date after the second Business Day prior to the Existing Maturity Date shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Consenting
Lenders extended pursuant to Section 2.21. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained herein, no Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (A) any order, judgment or decree
of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the
force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose
upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing
Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it or (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such
Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally. 
 (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the
close of business on the earlier of (i) the date that is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date
that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date. If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit application, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has
automatic extension provisions, whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional consecutive periods of one year or less (but not beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date) (each, an
“Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of
issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is
issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such Issuing Bank for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall
be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Maturity Date;
provided, however, that such Issuing Bank shall not permit any such extension if (A) such Issuing Bank has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its
revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (b) or (c) of this Section 2.04 or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing)
on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or
the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in 

  
 57 













 
each such case directing such Issuing Bank not to permit such extension. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Revolving Maturity Date shall be extended pursuant to Section 2.21,
“Revolving Maturity Date” as referenced in this paragraph shall refer to the Revolving Maturity Date as extended pursuant to Section 2.21; provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (including Section 2.21
hereof) or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Revolving Maturity Date, as such term is used in reference to any Issuing Bank or any Letter of Credit issued thereby, may not be extended with respect to any Issuing Bank without the prior
written consent of such Issuing Bank. 
 (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of
Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank that is the issuer of such Letter of Credit hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving
Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in
furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC
Disbursement made by the such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.04, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each
Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any
amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding
or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender further acknowledges and agrees that, in issuing, amending, renewing or extending any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for
relying, upon the representation and warranty of the Borrower deemed made pursuant to Section 4.02 unless, at least one Business Day prior to the time such Letter of Credit is issued, amended, renewed or extended (or, in the case of an
automatic renewal permitted pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.04, at least one Business Day prior to the time by which the election not to extend must be made by the applicable Issuing Bank), the Majority in Interest of the
Revolving Lenders shall have notified the applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in writing that, as a result of one or more events or circumstances described in such notice, one or more of the conditions precedent set
forth in Section 4.02(a) or 4.02(b) would not be satisfied if such Letter of Credit were then issued, amended, renewed or extended (it being understood and agreed that, in the event any Issuing Bank shall have received any such notice, no
Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit until and unless it shall be satisfied that the events and circumstances described in such notice shall have been cured or otherwise shall have ceased to
exist). 

  
 58 













 (e) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a
Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately following the day that
the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement; provided that, if the amount of such LC Disbursement is $500,000 or more, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with
Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR
Revolving Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to reimburse any LC Disbursement by the time specified above in this paragraph, then the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from
the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the amount then due
from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.05 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.05 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this paragraph),
and the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this
paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders
and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of an ABR Revolving Borrowing as contemplated above)
shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. 
 (f) Obligations
Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.04 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any term or provision thereof or hereof,
(ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a
Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but
for the provisions of this Section 2.04, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or any of
their Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit, any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances
referred to in the preceding sentence), any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit


  
 59 













 
(including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing
Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of
which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a
Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final
and non-appealable judgment), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents
presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit, and any such acceptance or
refusal shall be deemed not to constitute gross negligence or wilful misconduct. 
 (g) Disbursement Procedures. Each Issuing Bank
shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Each Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by
facsimile or e-mail) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to
reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section 2.04. 

(h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement
in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement in
full, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement in full when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.04, then Section 2.12(c)
shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to
paragraph (e) of this Section 2.04 to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand has been made, on the date on which the Borrower
reimburses the applicable LC Disbursement in full. 

  
 60 













 (i) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on
the Business Day on which the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, a Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders) demanding the deposit of cash
collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date
plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any
kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. The Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral in accordance with this paragraph as and to the extent required
by Section 2.10(b), 2.19(c) or 2.21(d). Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including
the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk
and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC
Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been
accelerated (but subject to (i) the consent of a Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders and (ii) in the case of any such application at a time when any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender (but only if, after giving effect
thereto, the remaining cash collateral shall be less than the aggregate LC Exposure of all the Defaulting Lenders), the consent of each Issuing Bank), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is
required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of
Default have been cured or waived. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.10(b), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower to the extent
that, after giving effect to such return, the Aggregate Revolving Exposure would not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment and no Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral
hereunder pursuant to Section 2.19(c), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, no Issuing Bank shall have any exposure in respect of any
outstanding Letter of Credit that is not fully covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or the remaining cash collateral and no Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 

  
 61 













 (j) Designation of Additional Issuing Banks. The Borrower may, at any time and from
time to time, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), designate as additional Issuing Banks one or more Revolving Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as
provided below. The acceptance by a Revolving Lender of an appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, executed by the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such designated Revolving Lender and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Revolving Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and
(ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include such Revolving Lender in its capacity as an issuer of Letters of Credit hereunder. 

(k) Termination of an Issuing Bank. The Borrower may terminate the appointment of any Issuing Bank as an “Issuing Bank”
hereunder by providing a written notice thereof to such Issuing Bank, with a copy to the Administrative Agent. Any such termination shall become effective upon the earlier of (i) such Issuing Bank acknowledging receipt of such notice and
(ii) the tenth Business Day following the date of delivery thereof; provided that no such termination shall become effective until and unless the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (or its
Affiliates) shall have been reduced to zero. At the time any such termination shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the terminated Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.11(b). Notwithstanding the
effectiveness of any such termination, the terminated Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such
termination, but shall not issue any additional Letters of Credit. 
 (l) Issuing Bank Reports to the Administrative Agent. Unless
otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section 2.04, report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) periodic activity (for such
period or recurrent periods as shall be requested by the Administrative Agent) in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancelations and all
disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) reasonably prior to the time that such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the stated amount of the Letters
of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing
Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date and amount of such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which the Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such
failure and the amount of such LC Disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. 

(m) LC Exposure Determination. For all purposes of this Agreement, the amount of a Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of
any document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum
stated amount is in effect at the time of determination. 

  
 62 













 (n) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable
Issuing Bank and the Borrower at the time of issuance of a Letter of Credit, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most
recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. 

SECTION 2.05. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date
thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m. (New York City Time) for Eurodollar Borrowings or 3:00 p.m. (New York City Time) for ABR Borrowings, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for
such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing
Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.04(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that
Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 2.04(e) to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. 

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any 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 paragraph (a) of this
Section 2.05 and may, in reliance upon such assumption and in its sole discretion, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the
Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made
available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds
EffectiveNYFRB Rate and a rate determined
by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans of the applicable Class. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay
such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays such amount to the
Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. 

  
 63 













 SECTION 2.06. Interest Elections . (a) Each Revolving Borrowing, 364-Day
Borrowing and Term Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request or designated by Section 2.03 and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such
Borrowing Request or designated by Section 2.03. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest
Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.06. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding
the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. 
 (b) To make an
election pursuant to this Section 2.06, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Revolving
Borrowing or 364-Day Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, e-mailed
pdf (or similar electronic submission reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) or facsimile to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request signed by the Borrower. 

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to
different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and 

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving
effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 
 If any such Interest Election
Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 

  
 64 













 (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent
shall advise each Lender of the applicable Class of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 
 (e)
If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such
Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of a Majority in Interest of the
Lenders of any Class has notified the Borrower of the election to give effect to this sentence on account of such other Event of Default, then, in each such case, so long as such Event of Default is continuing, (i) no outstanding Borrowing (or
Borrowing of the applicable Class, as applicable) may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing (or Eurodollar Borrowing of the applicable Class, as applicable) shall be converted
to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 
 SECTION 2.07. Termination and Reduction of Commitments.
(a) Unless previously terminated, (i) the initial Term Commitments shall automatically terminate upon the initial funding of the initial Term Loans on the Effective Date, (ii) the Tack-On Term Commitments shall automatically
terminate upon the funding of the Tack-On Term Loans on the First Amendment Effective Date, (iii) the Revolving Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date, and (iv) the 364-Day Commitments shall automatically
terminate on the 364-Day Maturity Date. 
 (b) The 364-Day Commitments shall automatically be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the amount of the
net proceeds of any issuance by the Borrower of any debt securities of the Borrower after the Effective Date, such reduction being effective as of the Business Day next succeeding the date of the receipt of such net proceeds by the Borrower. 

(c) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time permanently reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided that
(i) each partial reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if,
after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the Aggregate Revolving Exposure would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment. 

(d) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent
in writing of (i) any election to terminate or reduce
the Commitments under paragraph (c) of this Section 2.07 at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof and (ii) any mandatory
reduction of the 364-Day Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section 2.07 on or prior to the effective date of such reduction. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the
applicable Class of the 

  
 65 













 
contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination or reduction of the Revolving
Commitments delivered under this paragraph may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or
prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in
accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class. 
 SECTION 2.08. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.
(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Revolving Maturity Date,
(ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each 364-Day Loan of such Lender on the 364-Day Maturity Date and (iii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then
unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.09. 
 (b) The records maintained by the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of Loans, LC Disbursements, interest and fees due or accrued hereunder; provided that the failure of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay any amounts due hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

(c) Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare,
execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all
times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein and its registered assigns. 

SECTION 2.09. Amortization of Term Loans. (a) Subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.10(d), the Borrower shall
repay Term Borrowings, if any, on the last day of each March, June, September and December, beginning on September 30, 20192021, in an aggregate principal amount equal to (i) for each
such date occurring on or prior to the second anniversary of the
FifthSixth
 Amendment Effective Date, 0.625% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Borrowings outstanding on the
FifthSixth
 Amendment Effective Date, (ii) for each such date occurring after the second anniversary of the
FifthSixth
 Amendment Effective Date but on or prior to the fourth anniversary of the FifthSixth Amendment Effective Date, 1.250% of the aggregate principal
amount of the Term Borrowings outstanding on the
FifthSixth
 Amendment Effective Date and (iii) for each such date occurring after the fourth anniversary of the
FifthSixth
 Amendment Effective Date but prior to the Term Maturity Date, 2.500% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Borrowings outstanding on the FifthSixth
 Amendment Effective Date. 

  
 66 













 (b) To the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Term
Maturity Date. 
 (c) Prior to any repayment of any Term Borrowings of any Class under this Section 2.09, the Borrower shall select the
Borrowing or Borrowings of the applicable Class to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed promptly by hand delivery, e-mailed pdf (or similar electronic submission reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent) or facsimile) of such selection not later than 12:00
noon,
(New York City time,) three Business Days before the scheduled date of such
repayment. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but not an obligation, to minimize breakage costs that
would be owed under Section 2.15. Each repayment of a Term Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Term Borrowing. Repayments of Term Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid.

 SECTION 2.10. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to
prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section 2.10 and Section 2.15. 
 (b) In the event
and on each occasion that the Aggregate Revolving Exposure exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, the Borrower shall prepay Revolving Borrowings (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.04(i)) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. 
 (c) In the event and on each
occasion that the 364-Day Exposure exceeds the 364-Day Commitment, the Borrower shall prepay 364-Day Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. 

(d) Any prepayment of a Term Borrowing of any Class shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Term Borrowings of
such Class to be made pursuant to Section 2.09 in the case of a prepayment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.10, as directed in writing by the Borrower; provided that (A) any prepayment of any Class of
Incremental Term Borrowings shall be applied to subsequent scheduled repayments as provided in the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment and (B) any prepayment of Term Borrowings of any Class contemplated by Section 2.22 shall be
applied to subsequent scheduled repayments as provided in Section 2.22. 
 (e) Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of
Borrowings under this Section 2.10, the Borrower shall, subject to paragraph (d) of this Section 2.10 and to the remainder of this paragraph (e), select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the
notice of such prepayment delivered pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section 2.10. 

  
 67 













 (f) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by hand
delivery, e-mailed pdf (or similar electronic submission reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) or facsimile) of any optional prepayment and any mandatory prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing,
not later than 12:00
noon,
(New York City time,) three Business Days before the date of prepayment or
(ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, (New York City time,) one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the
case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that (A) if a notice of optional prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Revolving
Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.07, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.07 and (B) a notice of prepayment of Term Borrowings pursuant to
paragraph (a) of this Section 2.10 may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice of prepayment may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the applicable Class of the contents
thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a
mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12. 

SECTION 2.11. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a
commitment fee (the “Revolving Facility Commitment Fee”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender during the period from and including the
Effective Date to but excluding the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving
Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees, a Revolving Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender. 

  
 68 













 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each 364-Day
Lender a commitment fee (the “364-Day Facility Commitment Fee”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily unused amount of the 364-Day Commitment of such 364-Day Lender during the period from and including the
Effective Date to but excluding the date on which the 364-Day Commitments terminate. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the 364-Day
Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees, a 364-Day Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding 364-Day Loans of such Lender. 

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect
to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any
portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such
Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank
(excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there
ceases to be any such LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees
accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the earlier of such last day (if a Business Day) or the Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to
occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on
demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the
actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 
 (d) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 

(e) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the
applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Revolving Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid hereunder shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

 SECTION 2.12. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall
bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest
at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as
well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.00% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.12 or
(ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.00% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.12. 

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of a Revolving
Loan, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.12 shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any
Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in
the event of any conversion of a Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate
Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the
first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

SECTION 2.13. Alternate Rate of Interest.
(a) If(a) Subject to paragraphs (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 2.13, if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing of any Class: 

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate (including because the LIBO Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for such Interest Period; or 

  
 70 













 (ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by a Majority in Interest of the
Lenders of such Class that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Eurodollar Borrowing for such Interest Period; 

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders of such Class by telephone, electronic mail or facsimile as promptly as practicable
thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders of such Class that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any
Borrowing of such Class to, or continuation of any Borrowing of such Class as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and such Borrowing shall be continued as an ABR Borrowing and (ii) any Borrowing Request for a Eurodollar Borrowing of
such Class shall be treated as a request for an ABR Borrowing. 
 (b) If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause
(i) of paragraph (a) of this Section have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (i) of paragraph (a) of this Section have not arisen but either (w) the
supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate has made a public statement that the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the LIBO Screen Rate),
(x) the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published by it (and there is no successor administrator that
will continue publication of the LIBO Screen Rate), (y) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease
to be published or (z) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO
Screen Rate may no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBO Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing
market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this
Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Rate); provided that, if such alternate rate of interest as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall
be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.02, such amendment shall become effective without any
further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days
of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest
is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Majority in Interest of the Lenders of each Class stating that such Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with
this paragraph  

  
 71 













 
(but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this paragraph,
only to the extent the LIBO Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any
Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (y) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing; provided that, if such alternate rate of interest as so
determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.

 Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the
Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is
determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such
Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further
action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark
Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day after the date notice of such
Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party
to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders of each Class.

 (c)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in
respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent
Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that this paragraph (c) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered
to the Lenders and the Borrower a Term SOFR Notice. 

(d) In connection with
the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein
or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 

  
 72 














(e) The Administrative
Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, (ii) the
implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to paragraph (f) below and (v) the
commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.13, including
any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent
manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.13. 

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if
the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or LIBO Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the
Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be
no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that
was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is
or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such
previously removed tenor. 

(g) Upon the
Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans to be made, converted or continued
during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that
a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark
or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR. 

  
 73 













 SECTION 2.14. Increased Costs. (a) 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 any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Bank; 

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses
(b) through (d) of the definition of the term “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities
or capital attributable thereto; or 
 (iii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any
other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or
maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its
obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, from
time to time upon request of such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender,
such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as applicable, for such additional costs or expenses incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) If
any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has had or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital
of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit
issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s
or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then, from time to time upon the request of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, the
Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction
suffered. 

  
 74 













 (c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.14 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof; it being understood and agreed, however, that a Lender shall not be entitled to any
such compensation to the extent such Lender is not imposing such charges on, or requesting such compensation from, borrowers (similarly situated to the Borrower) under comparable credit facilities similar to the credit facilities provided pursuant
to this Agreement. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this
Section 2.14 for any increased costs or expenses incurred or reductions suffered more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased
costs or expenses or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions
is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 SECTION
2.15. Break Funding Payments . In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the
conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Revolving Loan or Term Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered
pursuant hereto (whether or not such notice may be revoked in accordance with the terms hereof) or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the
Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18(b) or 9.02(c), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any
Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate
that would have been applicable to such Loan (but not including the Applicable Rate applicable thereto), for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow,
convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that such Lender would bid were it to
bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar 

  
 75 













 
deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the London interbank market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive
pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 

SECTION 2.16. Taxes. (a) Payment Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the
Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable
withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount
deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding
has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding
been made. 
 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 
 (c)
Evidence of Payment. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.16, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of
a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(d) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full
amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such
Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such
payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 76 













 (e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the
Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand thereof, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and
without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any
Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether
or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such
Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph. 
 (f) Status of Lenders.
(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time
or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.16(f)(ii)(A), 2.16(f)(ii)(B) or 2.16(f)(ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s
reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person: 

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

  
 77 













 (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon
the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (1) in the
case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS
Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article
of such tax treaty; 
 (2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of
the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of
the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed
originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or 
 (4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the
beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 or Exhibit C-3,
IRS Form W-9 and/or another certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio
interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-4 on behalf of each such direct or indirect partner; 

  
 78 













 (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon
the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction in, U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together
with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

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

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a
refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.16 (including by the payment of additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.16), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such
refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other
than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph
(plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such 

  
 79 













 
Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this
paragraph the payment of which would place such indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never
been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

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

(i) Issuing Bank. For purposes of this Section 2.16, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank. 

SECTION 2.17. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required
to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required
hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 12:00 noon, (New York City
time)), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without any defense, setoff, recoupment or
counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments
shall be made to such account or accounts as may be specified by the Administrative Agent, except that payments required to be made directly to any Issuing Bank shall be so made, payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 and 9.03 shall be
made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payment received by it for the account of any other Person
to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business
Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest or commitment fees, interest or commitment fees, as applicable, thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be
made in dollars. 
 (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all
amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance
with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of
principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties. 

  
 80 













 (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise,
obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving
Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and shall
purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the aggregate amount 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 Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and
all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be
construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans
or participations in LC Disbursements to any Eligible Assignee. It is acknowledged and agreed that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph are between the Lenders and no consent from the Borrower is required with respect to these provisions. The
Borrower agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 (d) Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment,
the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption and in its sole discretion, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as applicable, the
amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as applicable, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such
Lender or such Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds
EffectiveNYFRB Rate and a rate determined
by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 

  
 81 













 (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.04(d) or (e), 2.05(a) or (b), 2.16(e), 2.17(d) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations in respect of such payment until all such unsatisfied obligations have been discharged and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral
for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion. 

SECTION 2.18. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall (at the request
of the Borrower) use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates,
if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment and delegation (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to
any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not be inconsistent with its internal policies or otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with
any such designation or assignment and delegation. 
 (b) If (i) any Lender has requested compensation under Section 2.14,
(ii) the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, (iii) any Lender has become a Defaulting Lender or
(iv) any Lender has become a Declining Lender under Section 2.21, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse
(in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents (or, in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from a Lender having become a Declining Lender, all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as a Lender of the applicable
Class with respect to which such Lender is a Declining Lender) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment and delegation); provided that (A) the
Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, each Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed, (B) such Lender
shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (if applicable, in each case only
to the extent such amounts relate to its 

  
 82 













 
interest as a Lender of a particular Class) from the assignee (in the case of such principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (C) the
Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b), (D) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a material reduction in such compensation or payments and (E) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law. A Lender shall
not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent by such Lender or otherwise (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender under paragraph (a) above), the circumstances
entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation have ceased to apply. 
 SECTION 2.19. Defaulting Lenders.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 

(a) (i) commitment fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 2.11(a) and (ii) commitment fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the 364-Day Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b); 

(b) the Revolving Commitment and Revolving Exposure (in the case of a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender) or the 364-Day Commitment
and 364-Day Exposure (in the case of a Defaulting Lender that is a 364-Day Lender) of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or any other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder
or under any other Loan Document (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that only any amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or all
Lenders affected thereby shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02, require the consent of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof; 

(c) if any LC Exposure exists at the time such Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then: 

(i) all or any part of the LC Exposure (other than any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements with
respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Sections 2.04(e) and 2.04(f)) of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective
Applicable Percentages but only to the extent that (A) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving
Commitments and (B) at the time of such reallocation, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided that, subject to Section 9.17, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any
party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation;


  
 83 













 (ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can
only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure that has not been
reallocated in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(i) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding; 

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause
(ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay participation fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b) with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure for so long as such Defaulting
Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized; 
 (iv) if any portion of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is
reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and 2.11(b) shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation; and 

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant
to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all participation fees payable under Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC
Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks (and allocated among them ratably based on the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank) until and to the extent that such LC
Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; 
 (d) so long as such Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be
required to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, unless, in each case, it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure, as applicable, will be fully covered by the Revolving
Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.19(c), and participating interests in any such issued, amended, renewed or extended Letter of Credit will be allocated among
the non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.19(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein); and 

(e) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender
(whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender 

  
 84 













 
pursuant to Section 9.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that
Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, in the case of a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to each Issuing Bank;
third, to cash collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.04(i); fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof;
fifth, in the case of a Default Lender that is a Revolving Lender, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to (x) satisfy obligations of
such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’ future LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in
accordance with Section 2.04(i); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or such Issuing Bank against such
Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as
otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Disbursements and such Lender is a Defaulting Lender under clause (a) of the definition
thereof, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the relevant Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, the relevant non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied pursuant to Section 2.04(i). Any payments, prepayments or
other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.04(i) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender,
and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 
 In the event that (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Revolving Lender Parent
shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such Bankruptcy Event shall continue or (ii) any Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Revolving Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other
agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, such Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower
or the applicable Revolving Lender, satisfactory to such Issuing Bank, as applicable, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder. 

  
 85 













 In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each Issuing Bank each agrees
that a Revolving Lender that is a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Revolving Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such
Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date, subject to clause (e) of this Section 2.19, such Revolving Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Revolving Lenders as the Administrative Agent
shall determine may be necessary in order for such Revolving Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. 

SECTION 2.20. Incremental Facilities. (a) At any time and from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request to add (i) (x) one or more increases to any existing Term Loan or
Incremental Term Loan (each such increase, a “Term Loan Increase”) or (y) one or more additional tranches of term loans (“Other Term Loans” and together with any Term Loan Increase, the “Incremental
Term Loans”) or (ii) solely during the Revolving Availability Period, one or more increases in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments (each such increase, a “Revolving Commitment Increase” and, together with
the Incremental Term Loans, the “Incremental Facilities”); provided that at the time of each such request and upon the effectiveness of each Incremental Facility Amendment (or, subject to clauses (A) and (B) below,
to the extent the initial proceeds of any Incremental Facilities are used in connection with any acquisition of or other investment in all or substantially all of the Equity Interests, assets or business of any Person or any assets constituting a
business unit, line or division of such Person, at and as of the date the agreement with respect to such acquisition or other investment is signed), (A) no Default has occurred and is continuing or shall result therefrom (provided that in the
event the initial proceeds of any Incremental Facilities are used in connection with any acquisition of or other investment in all or substantially all of the Equity Interests, assets or business of any Person or any assets constituting a business
unit, line or division of such Person, such condition precedent set forth in this clause (A) may be waived or limited as agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental Facility, without the consent of any other Lenders),
(B) the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in the Loan Documents (or, to the extent the initial proceeds of any Incremental Facilities are used in connection with any acquisition of or other investment in all or
substantially all of the Equity Interests, assets or business of any Person or any assets constituting a business unit, line or division of such Person, at the time the agreement with respect to such acquisition or other investment is signed and
upon the effectiveness of such Incremental Facility Amendment, solely the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in Sections 3.01(a), 3.01(b), 3.02, 3.03(b) (with respect to the charter, articles or certificate of organization or
incorporation and bylaws or other organizational or governing documents of the Borrower), 3.08(d), 3.09, 3.10 and 3.14 and customary specified acquisition agreement representations and warranties with respect to the Person to be acquired) shall be
true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of representations and warranties qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) at and as of such time, except in the case of any such representation and warranty
that expressly relates to a prior date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects, as applicable) as of such earlier date, (C) the Borrower shall be in compliance on a
Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to the incurrence or assumption 

  
 86 













 
of such Indebtedness (and the application of the proceeds therefrom) with the covenants contained in Sections 6.09 (if then applicable) and 6.10 recomputed as of the last day of the most recently
ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower for which financial statements are required to have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b) (and, if such Incremental Facility is in the form of a Revolving Commitment Increase, assuming for
purposes of determining compliance thereof that such Revolving Commitment Increase is fully drawn as of the last day of such fiscal quarter); provided that if such compliance is measured on the date the agreement is signed with respect to an
acquisition of or other investment in all or substantially all of the Equity Interests, assets or business of any Person or any assets constituting a business unit, line or division of such Person, then in connection with the calculation of any
financial ratio with respect to any covenant set forth in Article VI or in connection with the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to Section 6.12 or in connection with the designation of a Qualified Acquisition, in each case on
or following such date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such acquisition or investment is consummated or the agreement with respect to such acquisition or investment is terminated, such financial ratio shall be calculated on a Pro Forma
Basis assuming such acquisition, investment and any other pro forma events in connection therewith (including the incurrence of Indebtedness and such Incremental Facility) have been consummated, except to the extent such calculation would result in
a lower Total Net Leverage Ratio, a lower Total Senior Secured Leverage Ratio or a higher ratio of Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (if applicable) than would apply if such calculation was made without giving effect to such acquisition,
investment, other pro forma events in connection therewith or the incurrence of Indebtedness or any Incremental Facility on a Pro Forma Basis, and (D) the Borrower shall have delivered a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying as to
compliance with clauses (A), (B) and (C) above, together with reasonably detailed calculations demonstrating compliance with clause (C) above (which calculations shall, if made as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Borrower
for which the Borrower has not delivered to the Administrative Agent the financial statements and the Compliance Certificate required to be delivered by Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b) and Section 5.01(c), respectively, be accompanied by a
reasonably detailed calculation of Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Debt Service (if applicable) for the relevant period). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Facilities shall not
exceed $2,500,000,000 at any one time outstanding. Each Term Loan Increase, each tranche of Other Term Loans and each Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and be in an aggregate principal amount that is not
less than $10,000,000; provided that such amount may be less than $10,000,000 if such amount represents all the remaining availability under the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Facilities set forth above. Solely in connection with
any calculation of the Total Net Leverage Ratio for purposes of clause (C) above, the cash proceeds of the applicable Incremental Facility will not be deducted from Total Indebtedness. 

(b) Any Incremental Term Loans structured as a separate tranche of term loans from the Term Loans (i) shall rank pari passu
or junior in right of payment with the Obligations, (ii) for purposes of prepayments, shall be treated substantially the same as (and in any event no more favorably than) the applicable Class of Term Loans and (iii) other than
amortization, pricing, maturity date and any other terms acceptable to 

  
 87 













 
the Administrative Agent, shall have the same terms as the applicable Class of Term Loans; provided that (A) any Incremental Term Loan shall not have a final maturity date earlier
than the Maturity Date for the applicable Class of Term Loans and (B) any Incremental Term Loan shall not have a weighted average life that is shorter than the weighted average life of the then-remaining Term Loans of the applicable Class.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the terms and provisions of any Term Loan Increase (other than arrangement, upfront, amendment and other similar fees and original issue discount) shall be identical to those of the applicable Class
of Term Loans subject to such increase. 
 (c) Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall set forth the
requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Facility. Any additional bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other Person that elects to extend Incremental Facilities shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of any Revolving Commitment Increase, each Issuing Bank) (any such bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other Person being called an “Additional Lender”) and, if not already a
Lender, shall become a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, such Additional Lender and
the Administrative Agent. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Facility, unless it so agrees. Commitments in respect of any Incremental Facilities shall become Commitments (or in the case of any Revolving Commitment Increase to be
provided by an existing Revolving Lender, an increase in such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment) under this Agreement. An Incremental Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.20 (including to provide for voting provisions applicable to the Additional Lenders
comparable to the provisions of clause (B) of the second proviso of Section 9.02(b)). The effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Amendment shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Additional Lenders, be
subject to the satisfaction on the effective date thereof (each, an “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (it being understood and agreed that all references to “the date
of such Borrowing” in Section 4.02 shall be deemed to refer to the Incremental Facility Closing Date). 
 (d) On the date of
effectiveness of any Revolving Commitment Increase, (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding (the “Existing Revolving Borrowings”) immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment
Increase shall be deemed to be repaid, (ii) each Revolving Commitment Increase Lender that shall have had a Revolving Commitment prior to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase shall pay to the Administrative Agent in same day
funds an amount equal to the amount, if any, by which (A) (1) such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase) multiplied by
(2) the aggregate amount of the Resulting Revolving Borrowings (as hereinafter defined) exceeds (B) (1) such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender’s Applicable Percentage 

  
 88 













 
(calculated without giving effect to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase) multiplied by (2) the aggregate amount of the Existing Revolving Borrowings, (iii) each
Revolving Commitment Increase Lender that shall not have had a Revolving Commitment prior to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase shall pay to Administrative Agent in same day funds an amount equal to (1) such Revolving
Commitment Increase Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase) multiplied by (2) the aggregate amount of the Resulting Revolving Borrowings, (iv) after
the Administrative Agent receives the funds specified in clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Revolving Lender the portion of such funds that is equal to the amount, if any, by which
(A) (1) such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated without giving effect to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase) multiplied by (2) the aggregate amount of the Existing Revolving Borrowings,
exceeds (B) (1) such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase) multiplied by (2) the aggregate amount of the Resulting Revolving
Borrowings, (v) after the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase, the Borrower shall be deemed to have made new Revolving Borrowings (the “Resulting Revolving Borrowings”) in an aggregate amount equal to the
aggregate amount of the Existing Revolving Borrowings and of the Types and for the Interest Periods specified in a Borrowing Request delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.03 (and the Borrower shall deliver such
Borrowing Request), (vi) each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to hold its Applicable Percentage of each Resulting Revolving Borrowing (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase) and
(vii) the Borrower shall pay each Revolving Lender any and all accrued but unpaid interest on its Loans comprising the Existing Revolving Borrowings. The deemed payments of the Existing Revolving Borrowings made pursuant to clause
(i) above shall be subject to compensation by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.15 if the date of the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase occurs other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating
thereto. Upon each Revolving Commitment Increase pursuant to this Section 2.20, each Revolving Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further action be deemed to have assigned to each Revolving Commitment
Increase Lender, and each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit such that,
after giving effect to such Revolving Commitment Increase and each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations hereunder in Letters of Credit, in each case held by each
Revolving Lender (including each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender) will equal such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage. 

SECTION 2.21. Extension of Maturity Date. (a) The Borrower may, by delivery of a Maturity Date Extension Request to the
Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy thereof to each of the Lenders) not less than 30 days prior to the then existing Maturity Date for the applicable Class of Commitments and/or Loans hereunder to be extended (the
“Existing Maturity Date”), request that the Lenders extend the Existing Maturity Date in accordance with this Section 2.21; provided that (i) no 

  
 89 













 
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time a Maturity Extension Request is delivered to the Lenders or at the time of the applicable extension, (ii) except as to
interest rates, fees, amortization and final maturity (which shall be subject to the requirements of this Section 2.21, be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Maturity Date Extension Request), the Commitments and/or Loans
extended pursuant to a Maturity Date Extension Request shall have the same terms as the original Commitments and/or Loans subject to such Maturity Date Extension Request (except for modification to such terms that do not become effective until after
the Latest Maturity Date), (iii) the weighted average life to maturity of any extended Term Loan shall not be shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loans extended thereby and (iv) no tranche of extended
Commitments and/or Loans shall be in an amount less than $60,000,000, unless this requirement is waived by the Administrative Agent. 
 (b)
Each Maturity Date Extension Request shall (i) specify the applicable Class of Commitments and/or Loans hereunder to be extended, (ii) specify the date to which the applicable Maturity Date is sought to be extended, (iii) specify the
changes, if any, to the Applicable Rate to be applied in determining the interest payable on the Loans of, and fees payable hereunder to, Consenting Lenders (as defined below) in respect of that portion of their Commitments and/or Loans extended to
such new Maturity Date and the time as of which such changes will become effective (which may be prior to the Existing Maturity Date) and (iv) specify any other amendments or modifications to this Agreement to be effected in connection with
such Maturity Date Extension Request; provided that no such changes or modifications requiring approvals pursuant to the provisos to Section 9.02(b) shall become effective prior to the then Existing Maturity Date unless such other
approvals have been obtained. In the event a Maturity Date Extension Request shall have been delivered by the Borrower, each Lender shall have the right but not the obligation to agree to the extension of the Existing Maturity Date and other matters
contemplated thereby on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (each Lender agreeing to the Maturity Date Extension Request being referred to herein as a “Consenting Lender” and each Lender not agreeing thereto
being referred to herein as a “Declining Lender”), which right may be exercised by written notice thereof, specifying the maximum amount of the Commitment and/or Loans of such Lender with respect to which such Lender agrees to the
extension of the Maturity Date, delivered to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) not later than a day to be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent following the date on which the Maturity Date Extension Request
shall have been delivered by the Borrower (it being understood and agreed that any Lender that shall have failed to exercise such right as set forth above shall be deemed to be a Declining Lender). If a Lender elects to extend only a portion of its
then existing Commitment and/or Loans, it will be deemed for purposes hereof to be a Consenting Lender in respect of such extended portion and a Declining Lender in respect of the remaining portion of its Commitment and/or Loans, and the aggregate
principal amount of each Type of Loans of the applicable Class of such Lender shall be allocated ratably among the extended and non-extended portions of the Loans of such Lender based on the aggregate principal amount of such Loans so extended and
not extended. If Consenting Lenders shall have agreed to such Maturity Date Extension Request in respect of Commitments and/or Loans held by them, then, subject to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.21, on the date specified in


  
 90 













 
the Maturity Date Extension Request as the effective date thereof (the “Extension Effective Date”), (i) the Existing Maturity Date of the applicable Commitments and/or Loans
shall, as to the Consenting Lenders, be extended to such date as shall be specified therein, (ii) the terms and conditions of the applicable Commitments and/or Loans of the Consenting Lenders (including interest and fees (including Letter of
Credit fees) payable in respect thereof) shall be modified as set forth in the Maturity Date Extension Request and (iii) such other modifications and amendments hereto specified in the Maturity Date Extension Request shall (subject to any
required approvals (including those of the Required Lenders) having been obtained) become effective. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Borrower shall have the right, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.18(b) and 9.04, at any time prior to the Existing Maturity Date, to replace a Declining Lender (for the avoidance of doubt, only in respect of that portion of such
Lender’s Commitment and/or Loans subject to a Maturity Date Extension Request that it has not agreed to extend) with a Lender or other financial institution reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (provided that the consent
of the Administrative Agent shall not be required if such other financial institution is an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund) and, if such Declining Lender is a Revolving Lender, each Issuing Bank, that will agree to such Maturity Date
Extension Request, and any such replacement Lender shall for all purposes constitute a Consenting Lender in respect of the Commitment and/or Loans assigned to and assumed by it on and after the effective time of such replacement (with the assignment
fee and any other costs and expenses to be paid by the Borrower in such instance); provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to obtain a replacement Lender; provided further
that (i) the applicable assignee shall have agreed to provide the Commitment and/or Loans so assigned on the terms set forth in such Maturity Date Extension Request and (ii) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Declining Lender
relating to the Commitments and/or Loans so assigned (including all accrued interest, fees and all other amounts payable in respect thereof) shall be paid in full at no less than the market value thereof by the assignee to such Declining Lender
concurrently with such assignment and assumption (with the Borrower paying to such Declining Lender the difference between the price so paid by the assignee and par). 

(d) If a Maturity Date Extension Request has become effective hereunder: 

(i) solely in respect of a Maturity Date Extension Request that has become effective in respect of the Revolving Commitments,
not later than the fifth Business Day prior to the Existing Maturity Date, the Borrower shall make prepayments of Revolving Loans and shall provide cash collateral in respect of Letters of Credit in the manner set forth in Section 2.04(i), such
that, after giving effect to such prepayments and such provision of cash collateral, the Aggregate Revolving Exposure as of such date will not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Consenting Lenders extended pursuant to this
Section 2.21 (and the Borrower shall not be permitted thereafter to request any Revolving Loan or any issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit if, after giving effect thereto, the Aggregate Revolving Exposure of all
Revolving Lenders would exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments so extended); 

  
 91 













 (ii) solely in respect of a Maturity Date Extension Request that has become
effective in respect of the Revolving Commitments, on the Existing Maturity Date, the Revolving Commitment of each Declining Lender shall, to the extent not assumed, assigned or transferred as provided in paragraph (c) of this
Section 2.21, terminate, and the Borrower shall repay all the Revolving Loans of each Declining Lender, to the extent such Loans shall not have been so purchased, assigned and transferred, in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest
and all fees and other amounts owing to such Declining Lender hereunder, it being understood and agreed that, subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02, such repayments may be funded with the proceeds of new Revolving
Borrowings made simultaneously with such repayments by the Consenting Lenders, which such Revolving Borrowings shall be made ratably by the Consenting Lenders in accordance with their extended Revolving Commitments; and 

(iii) solely in respect of a Maturity Date Extension Request that has become effective in respect of a Class of Term Loans, on
the Existing Maturity Date, the Borrower shall repay all the Loans of such Class of each Declining Lender, to the extent such Loans shall not have been so purchased, assigned and transferred, in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest
and all fees and other amounts owing to such Declining Lender hereunder, it being understood and agreed that, subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02, such repayments may be funded with the proceeds of new Revolving
Borrowings made simultaneously with such repayments by the Revolving Lenders. 
 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Maturity Date
Extension Request shall become effective hereunder unless, on the Extension Effective Date, the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied (with all references in such Section 4.02 to a Borrowing being deemed to be references
to such Maturity Date Extension Request) and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Responsible Officer. 

(f) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, it is hereby agreed that no extension of an Existing Maturity Date in
accordance with the express terms of this Section 2.21, or any amendment or modification of the terms and conditions of the Commitments and the Loans of the Consenting Lenders effected pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to (i) violate the
last sentence of Section 2.07(c) or Section 2.17(b) or 2.17(c) or any other provision of this Agreement requiring the ratable reduction of Commitments or the ratable sharing of payments or (ii) require the consent of all Lenders or
all affected Lenders under Section 9.02(b). 

  
 92 













 (g) The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Consenting Lenders may enter into an
amendment to this Agreement to effect such modifications as may be necessary to reflect the terms of any Maturity Date Extension Request that has become effective in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.21. In connection with such
amendment, the Borrower shall, if requested by the Administrative Agent, deliver a customary opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent as to the enforceability of such amendment, this Agreement as amended thereby and such
of the other Loan Documents (if any) as may be amended thereby. 
 SECTION 2.22. Refinancing Facilities. (a) The Borrower
may, on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request the establishment hereunder of (i) a new Class of revolving commitments (the “Refinancing Revolving Commitments”) pursuant to which each
Person providing such a commitment (a “Refinancing Revolving Lender”) will make revolving loans to the Borrower (“Refinancing Revolving Loans”) and acquire participations in the Letters of Credit and (ii) one
or more additional Classes of term loan commitments (the “Refinancing Term Loan Commitments”) pursuant to which each Person providing such a commitment (a “Refinancing Term Lender”) will make term loans to the
Borrower (the “Refinancing Term Loans”); provided that (A) each Refinancing Revolving Lender and each Refinancing Term Lender shall be an Eligible Assignee and, if not already a Revolving Lender, shall otherwise be
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, (B) each Refinancing Revolving Lender shall be approved by each Issuing Bank (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (C) no Lender shall have any
obligation to agree to become a Refinancing Revolving Lender or a Refinancing Term Lender. 
 (b) The Refinancing Commitments shall be
effected pursuant to one or more Refinancing Facility Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrower, each Refinancing Lender providing such Refinancing Commitment, the Administrative Agent and, in the case of Refinancing Revolving Commitments,
each Issuing Bank; provided that no Refinancing Commitments shall become effective unless (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of effectiveness thereof, (ii) on the date of effectiveness thereof, the
representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct (A) in the case of the representations and warranties qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects and
(B) otherwise, in all material respects, in each case on and as of such date, except in the case of any such representation and warranty that specifically relates to an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be so
true and correct on and as of such earlier date, (iii) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s certificates and other documents as shall
reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction, (iv) in the case of any Refinancing Revolving Commitments, substantially concurrently with the effectiveness thereof, all the Revolving Commitments
then in effect shall be terminated, and all the Revolving Loans then outstanding, together with all interest thereon, and all other amounts accrued for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, shall be repaid or paid (it being understood, however, that
any Letters of Credit may continue to be outstanding hereunder), and the aggregate amount of such Refinancing Revolving Commitments does not exceeded the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments so terminated and (v) in the case of any
Refinancing Term Loan 

  
 93 













 
Commitments, substantially concurrently with the effectiveness thereof, the Borrower shall obtain Refinancing Term Loans thereunder and shall repay or prepay then outstanding Term Borrowings of
any Class in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate amount of such Refinancing Term Loan Commitments (less the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such outstanding Term Borrowings and any reasonable fees,
premium and expenses relating to such refinancing) (and any such prepayment of Term Borrowings of any Class shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of Term Borrowings of such Class to be made pursuant to Section 2.09 in
the inverse order of maturity). 
 (c) The Refinancing Facility Agreement shall set forth, with respect to the Refinancing Commitments
established thereby and the Refinancing Loans and other extensions of credit to be made thereunder, to the extent applicable, the following terms thereof: (i) the designation of such Refinancing Commitments and Refinancing Loans as a new
“Class” for all purposes hereof, (ii) the stated termination and maturity dates applicable to the Refinancing Commitments or Refinancing Loans of such Class; provided that (A) such stated termination and maturity dates
shall not be earlier than the Revolving Maturity Date (in the case of Refinancing Revolving Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Loans) or the Term Maturity Date (in the case of Refinancing Term Loan Commitments and Refinancing Term Loans),
(iii) in the case of any Refinancing Term Loans, any amortization applicable thereto and the effect thereon of any prepayment of such Refinancing Term Loans, (iv) the interest rate or rates applicable to the Refinancing Loans of such
Class, (v) the fees applicable to the Refinancing Commitment or Refinancing Loans of such Class, (vi) in the case of any Refinancing Term Loans, any original issue discount applicable thereto, (vii) the initial Interest Period or
Interest Periods applicable to Refinancing Loans of such Class, (viii) any voluntary or mandatory commitment reduction or prepayment requirements applicable to Refinancing Commitments or Refinancing Loans of such Class and any restrictions on
the voluntary or mandatory reductions or prepayments of Refinancing Commitments or Refinancing Loans of such Class and (ix) any financial covenant with which the Borrower shall be required to comply (provided that any such financial
covenant for the benefit of any Class of Refinancing Lenders shall also be for the benefit of all other Lenders). Except as contemplated by the preceding sentence, the terms of the Refinancing Revolving Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Loans
and other extensions of credit thereunder shall be substantially the same as the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans and other extensions of credit thereunder, and the terms of the Refinancing Term Loan Commitments and Refinancing Term Loans
shall be substantially the same as the terms of the Term Commitments and the Term Loans. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Facility Agreement. Each Refinancing Facility Agreement
may, without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Refinancing Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to give
effect to the provisions of this Section 2.22, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Refinancing Commitments and Refinancing Loans as a new “Class” of loans and/or commitments hereunder. 

  
 94 














SECTION 2.23.
Sustainability Adjustments. 

(a) Following the date on
which the Borrower provides a Pricing Certificate in respect of the most recently ended calendar year, (i) the Applicable Rate described under the headings “Applicable Rate for LIBOR Loans” and “Applicable Rate for ABR
Loans” in the definition of “Applicable Rate” shall be increased or decreased (or neither increased nor decreased), as applicable, pursuant to the Sustainability Rate Adjustment as set forth in such Pricing Certificate and
(ii) the Applicable Rate described under the heading “Applicable Rate for Revolving Facility Commitment Fee” in the definition of “Applicable Rate” shall be increased or decreased (or neither increased nor decreased), as
applicable, pursuant to the Sustainability Commitment Fee Adjustment as set forth in the Pricing Certificate. For purposes of the foregoing, (A) each of the Sustainability Rate Adjustment and the Sustainability Commitment Fee Adjustment shall
be determined as of the fifth Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Pricing Certificate delivered pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section 2.23 based upon the KPI Metrics set forth in such Pricing Certificate and
the calculations of the Sustainability Rate Adjustment and the Sustainability Commitment Fee Adjustment, as applicable, therein (such day, the “Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date”) and (B) each change in the Applicable Rate
resulting from a Pricing Certificate shall be effective during the period commencing on and including the applicable Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date and ending on the date immediately preceding the next such Sustainability Pricing Adjustment
Date (or, in the case of non-delivery of a Pricing Certificate, the last day such Pricing Certificate could have been delivered pursuant to the terms of paragraph (f) of this Section 2.23). For the avoidance of doubt, changes to the
Applicable Rate pursuant to this Section 2.23 in respect of any Class of Loans and Commitments shall cease on the earlier of (x) the Maturity Date in respect of such Class of Loans and Commitments and (y) December 31, 2026
(unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders pursuant to an amendment effected in accordance with Section 9.02). 

(b) For the avoidance of
doubt, only one Pricing Certificate may be delivered in respect of any calendar year. It is further understood and agreed that the Applicable Rate (as described in clause (i) of Section 2.23(a)) will never be reduced or increased by more
than 0.05%, and the Applicable Rate (as described in clause (ii) of Section 2.23(a)) will never be reduced or increased by more than 0.01%, in each case pursuant to the Sustainability Rate Adjustment or the Sustainability Commitment Fee
Adjustment, as applicable, during any calendar year. For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment to the Applicable Rate by reason of meeting one or both KPI Metrics in any year shall not be cumulative year-over-year. Each applicable adjustment shall
only apply until the date on which the next adjustment is due to take place. 
 (c) It is hereby understood and agreed that if no such Pricing Certificate is delivered by the Borrower within the period set forth in
paragraph (f) of this Section 2.23, the Sustainability Rate Adjustment will be a positive 0.05% and the Sustainability Commitment Fee Adjustment will be a positive 0.01%, in each case commencing on the last day such Pricing Certificate
could have been delivered pursuant to the terms of paragraph (f) of this Section 2.23 and continuing until the Borrower delivers a Pricing Certificate to the Administrative Agent for the applicable calendar year. 

  
 95 














(d) If (i)(A) the
Borrower, any Lender or any Issuing Bank becomes aware of any material inaccuracy in the Sustainability Rate Adjustment, the Sustainability Commitment Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics as reported in a Pricing Certificate (any such material
inaccuracy, a “Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy”) and, in the case of any Lender or any Issuing Bank, such Lender or Issuing Bank, in good faith, delivers, not later than 10 Business Days after obtaining knowledge thereof, a written notice
to the Administrative Agent describing such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy in reasonable detail (which description shall be shared with each Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or (B) the
Borrower, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks agree that there was a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy at the time of delivery of a Pricing Certificate, and (ii) a proper calculation of the Sustainability Rate Adjustment, the Sustainability
Commitment Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics would have resulted in an increase in the Applicable Rate for any period, then the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the
applicable Issuing Banks, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code (or any comparable
event under non-U.S. Debtor Relief Laws), automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank), but in any event within 10 Business Days after the Borrower has received written notice of, or has
agreed in writing that there was, a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy, an amount equal to the excess of (1) the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over (2) the amount of interest and fees actually paid for
such period. If the Borrower becomes aware of any Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy and, in connection therewith, if a proper calculation of the Sustainability Rate Adjustment, the Sustainability Commitment Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics would have
resulted in a decrease in the Applicable Rate for any period, then, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of notice from the Borrower of such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy (which notice shall include corrections to the calculations of the
Sustainability Rate Adjustment, the Sustainability Adjustment or the KPI Metrics, as applicable), commencing on the fifth Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, the Applicable Rate shall be adjusted to reflect the
corrected calculations of the Sustainability Rate Adjustment, the Sustainability Commitment Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics, as applicable. 

It is understood and
agreed that any Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default; provided that the Borrower complies with the terms of this Section 2.23(d) with respect to such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, unless such amounts shall be due upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code (or any comparable event under non-U.S. Debtor Relief
Laws), (i) any additional amounts  

  
 96 













 
required to be paid pursuant the immediate preceding paragraph shall not be due
and payable until a written demand is made for such payment by the Administrative Agent in accordance with such paragraph, (ii) any nonpayment of such additional amounts prior to or upon such demand for payment by Administrative Agent shall not
constitute a Default (whether retroactively or otherwise) and (iii) none of such additional amounts shall be deemed overdue prior to the date that is two Business Days after such a demand or shall accrue interest at the applicable default rate
specified in Section 2.12(c) prior to the date that is two Business Days after such a demand. 
 (e) Each party hereto hereby agrees that none of the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers shall have
any responsibility for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by the Borrower of any Sustainability Rate Adjustment or any Sustainability Commitment Fee Adjustment (or any of the data or computations
that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in any Pricing Certificate (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry). 

(f) As soon as available
and in any event within 150 days following the end of each calendar year of the Borrower (commencing with the calendar year ending December 31, 2021), the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders) a
Pricing Certificate for the most recently-ended calendar year; provided that for any calendar year the Borrower may elect not to deliver a Pricing Certificate, and such election shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default (but such failure to
so deliver a Pricing Certificate by the end of such 150-day period shall result in the Sustainability Rate Adjustment being applied as set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 2.23). 

ARTICLE III 
 Representations
and Warranties 
 The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, each of the Issuing Banks and each of the Lenders
that: 
 SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers. Each of the Borrower and, except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect, each Restricted Subsidiary, (a) is duly organized, validly existing and, to the extent that such concept is applicable in the relevant jurisdiction, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization, (b) has all requisite power and authority and, except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the legal right (including necessary authorizations from the FCC and FAA) to own and operate its
property and to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, to execute, deliver and perform its obligations, if any, under this Agreement and each other Loan Document and each other agreement or instrument contemplated
thereby to which it is a party and to effect the Transactions and (c) except where the failure to do so, 

  
 97 













 
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and, to the extent that such concept is applicable in
the relevant jurisdiction, is in good standing in, each jurisdiction where such qualification is required. 
 SECTION 3.02.
Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions to be entered into by the Borrower have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action and, if required, action by the holders of the Borrower’s Equity
Interests. This Agreement and each other Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, subject
to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 

SECTION 3.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration
or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority (including the FCC, the FAA or any other Licensing Authority), except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect (or, in the case of filings to be made by
the Borrower under the Exchange Act, such as shall be made substantially concurrently with the Effective Date or as otherwise required under the Exchange Act), (b) will not violate any Requirement of Law (including any rule, regulation or
policy of the FCC, the FAA or any other Licensing Authority) applicable to the Borrower, (c) will not violate or result (alone or with notice or lapse of time or both) in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon
the Borrower or its assets that is material to the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries when taken as a whole, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment, repurchase or redemption to be made by the Borrower or give rise to a right
of, or result in, termination, cancelation or acceleration of any obligation thereunder and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary.

 SECTION 3.04. Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Effect. (a) The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its
consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income and cash flows (i) as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, audited by and accompanied by an opinion of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP,

Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, included herein or therein or furnished hereunder or thereunder, contained, when furnished, any material
misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading when taken as a whole and as supplemented as of the Effective Date;
provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by it to be reasonable at the time so furnished and, if such

manner and to the full extent they are currently owned, constructed, managed and operated. All Licenses referenced in the first sentence of this Section 3.15 have been duly and validly issued to and are legally held by the Borrower or such
Restricted Subsidiary and are in full force and effect without condition in all material respects (except those of general application). Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, all Licenses referenced in the
first sentence of this Section 3.15 have been issued in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, are legally binding and enforceable in accordance with their terms and are in good standing. The Borrower does not know of any facts or
conditions that could constitute grounds for any Licensing Authority to deny any pending material application for a License with respect to any material Tower Sites, to suspend, revoke, materially adversely modify or annul any License with respect
to any material Tower Sites or to impose a material financial penalty on the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary. All material Tower Sites that are required to be registered with the FCC have either been so registered or are in the process of
being registered.

hold “plan assets” (within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations), and neither the execution, delivery or 

  
 103 













 
performance of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, including the making of any Loan and the issuance of any Letter of Credit hereunder, will give rise to a non-exempt prohibited
transaction on the part of and to the knowledge of the Borrower under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

Agent or any Lender to the Borrower; 
 (f) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall fail to make any payment (whether of principal,

documentation representing such Material Indebtedness); 
 (g) any event or condition occurs that results in any Material Indebtedness
becoming due or being terminated or required to be prepaid, repurchased, redeemed or defeased, in each case, prior to its scheduled maturity; provided that this clause (g) shall not apply to (i) any secured Indebtedness that becomes
due as a result of the sale, transfer or other disposition (including as a result of a casualty or condemnation event) of the assets securing such Indebtedness (to the extent such sale, transfer or other disposition is not prohibited under this
Agreement), (ii) any Indebtedness that becomes due as a result of a voluntary refinancing thereof permitted under Section 6.01, (iii) the amortization of Indebtedness as a result of the commencement of an amortization period (or
analogous concept) or the occurrence of an anticipated repayment date (or analogous concept), in each case in accordance with the applicable Securitization Indenture governing such Indebtedness, (iv) any Indebtedness that becomes subject to
prepayment, repurchase, redemption or defeasance as a result of the transaction intended to be financed with such Indebtedness not being consummated as contemplated or (v) any “change of control” put in respect of any Indebtedness of
a Person or business acquired by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries as a result of such acquisition; 
 (h) an involuntary proceeding

State or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect or (ii) the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator or similar official for the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary
or for a substantial part of its assets, and, in any such case, such proceeding or petition shall continue undismissed, undischarged or unbonded for 90 days or an order or decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing shall be entered; 

  
 122 













 (i) the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary shall (i) voluntarily commence any
proceeding or file any petition seeking liquidation (other than any liquidation permitted under Section 6.03(a)(v)), reorganization or other relief under any Federal, State or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or
hereafter in effect, (ii) consent to the institution of, or fail to contest in a timely and appropriate manner, any proceeding or petition described in clause (h) of this Article, (iii) apply for or consent to the appointment of a

its terms (or the Borrower shall challenge the enforceability of any material Loan Document or shall assert in writing, or engage in any action or inaction based on any such assertion, that any material provision of any of the Loan Documents has
ceased to be or otherwise is not valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms); or 
 (n) a Change in Control shall occur,

 then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of this Article), and at any
time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of a Majority in Interest of Revolving Lenders (with respect to the Revolving Commitments in clause (i) below) or the Required Lenders, as
applicable, shall, by notice to the Borrower, take any or all of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate the Commitments, and 

  
 123 













 
thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part (but ratably as among the Classes of Loans and the
Loans of each Class at such time outstanding), in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together
with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately and (iii) require the deposit of cash collateral in respect of LC Exposure as provided in Section 2.04(i),
in each case without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower; and in the case of any event with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of this Article, the

payable and the deposit of such cash collateral in respect of LC Exposure shall immediately and automatically become due, in each case, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, exercise any rights and remedies provided to the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents or
at law or equity. 
 ARTICLE VIII 

The Administrative Agent 

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably designates and appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A and its successors to serve as
administrative agent under the Loan Documents (and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A hereby accepts such appointment) and irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative
Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document
with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) duties, responsibilities, or other obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used as
a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. 
 The
Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender or an Issuing Bank as any other Lender or Issuing Bank 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 such Person in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from,
lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the
Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks. 

  
 124 













 The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth in the Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of
whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or to exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the
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 as the Administrative Agent shall
believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the 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, could
expose the Administrative Agent to liability or be contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or
that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to
disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent
or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the 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 to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless
otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment). The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a
“notice of default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement,
warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement 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 in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or 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 in this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for, or be responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by the Borrower or any Lender as a result of, any determination of the Revolving
Exposure or the 364-Day Exposure or the component amounts thereof. 

  
 125 













 The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, 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 or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof). The Administrative Agent also shall
be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the
Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof), and may act upon any such statement prior to receipt of written confirmation thereof. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the
issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such
Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal
counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

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 of and all their duties and exercise their 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. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction
determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or wilful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents. 

Subject to the terms of this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign upon 30 days’ written notice of its intent to resign from its
capacity as such to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower. Subject to the terms of this paragraph, if the Person serving as the Administrative Agent becomes a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d)(i) of the definition of
“Defaulting Lender”, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, remove such Person as the Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ written notice to the Borrower and such Person. Upon receipt of any such


  
 126 













 
notice of resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject (unless an Event of Default under clauses (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII with respect to the
Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to appoint a successor. If no 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 intent to resign (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States of America or an Affiliate of any such bank. Whether or not a successor Administrative
Agent has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within
30 days after the Required Lenders give notice of removal (the “Removal Effective Date”) as provided in the third preceding sentence, then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal
Effective Date. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative
Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and such successor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event no
successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign or the Required Lenders give notice of removal, as the
case may be, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower or the Required Lenders may give notice of removal to the other Lenders, the Issuing Banks and
the Borrower, as the case may be, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation or removal stated in such notice, (a) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents, and (b) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent; provided that (i) all payments
(except for indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent) required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall
be made directly to such Person and (ii) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall also directly be given or made to each Lender and each Issuing Bank. Following the
effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other
Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under clause (a) above. 

  
 127 













 Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring
Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent,
any
the Sustainability Structuring Agent, any Arranger or any other
Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, 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. 

Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement and funding its Loans on the Effective Date, or delivering its signature page
to an Assignment and Assumption or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, this Agreement and each other Loan Document and each
other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Effective Date. 

Each Lender (which, for
purposes of this paragraph, shall be deemed to include Issuing Banks) hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such
Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender
(whether or not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such
Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such
amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the
extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the
Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this paragraph shall be
 

  
 128 













 
conclusive, absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it
receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates)
with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender agrees
that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it
shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in
respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative
Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. The Borrower hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received
such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise
satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower. Each party’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender,
the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document. 

In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to the Borrower under any Federal, State or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any LC Disbursement shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Exposure and all
other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim under Sections 2.11, 2.12,
2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 

  
 129 













 (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 proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each other Credit Party 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, the Issuing Banks or the other Credit Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any
amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 9.03). Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt
on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or Issuing Bank to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of
any Lender or Issuing Bank or in any such proceeding. 
 The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to
the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Commitments in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Article (or, if
indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Commitments immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) that may at any time (whether before or
after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or
referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the
payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct; provided further that the obligations of the Lenders set forth in this paragraph are several (and not joint and several). 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither any Arranger nor any Person named on the cover page of this Agreement as a syndication agent, a documentation agent, a bookrunner or a senior managing
agent Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent, a Sustainability Structuring Agent or an Arranger shall have any duties or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender or an Issuing Bank), but all such Persons shall have the benefit of the
indemnities provided for hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and, except solely to the extent of the Borrower’s rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary shall have any rights as a third
party beneficiary of any such provisions.

(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereunder may be delivered or
furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet and intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices under Article II to any Lender or

Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in
exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or
power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and
are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any 

  
 132 













 
other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.02, and
then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making of a Loan or the
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the
time. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 

(b) Except as provided in Sections 2.13(b), 2.20, 2.21, 2.22 and 9.02(c), none of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement
or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders and, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood and agreed that (x) the
consent of the Required Lenders shall not be required and (y) a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 or the waiver of any Default or mandatory reduction of the Commitments, if adopted with the consent of the Required
Lenders, shall not constitute an increase of any Commitment), (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, in each case without the written consent
of each Lender affected thereby (it being understood and agreed that the consent of the Required Lenders shall not be required), (iii) postpone the scheduled maturity date of any Loan, or the date of any scheduled payment of the principal
amount of any Term Loan under Section 2.09 or the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment, or the required date of reimbursement of any LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the
amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby (it being understood and agreed that (x) the consent of the Required
Lenders shall not be required and (y) a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 or the waiver of any Default, mandatory prepayment of the Loans or mandatory reduction of the Commitments, if adopted with the consent of
the Required Lenders, shall not constitute any postponement referenced in this clause (iii)), (iv) change Section 2.17(b) or 2.17(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent
of each Lender adversely affected thereby (it being understood and agreed that the consent of the Required Lenders shall not be required), (v) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.02 or the percentage set forth in the definition
of the term “Required Lenders”, “Majority in Interest” or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or
otherwise modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as applicable); 

  
 133 













 
provided that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, the provisions of this Section 9.02 and the definition of the term “Required Lenders” may be amended to include
references to any new class of loans created under this Agreement (or to lenders extending such loans) on substantially the same basis as the corresponding references relating to the existing Classes of Loans or Lenders, (vi) change any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document in a manner that
by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of any Class differently than those holding Loans of any other Class, without the written consent of Lenders representing a Majority in Interest of each
affected Class; or (vii) subordinate any Obligations in contractual right of payment to any other Indebtedness or other
payment obligations, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify, extend or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank without the prior written consent
of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, (B) any waiver, amendment or other modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of the Lenders of one or more Classes (but
not the Lenders of any other Class) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the requisite number or percentage in interest of each affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto
under this Section 9.02 if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time and (C) if the terms of any waiver, amendment or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document provide that any Class
of Loans (together with all accrued interest thereon and all accrued fees payable with respect to the Commitments of such Class) will be repaid or paid in full, and the Commitments of such Class (if any) terminated, as a condition to the
effectiveness of such waiver, amendment or other modification, then so long as the Loans of such Class (together with such accrued interest and fees) are in fact repaid or paid in full and such Commitments are in fact terminated, in each case prior
to or substantially simultaneously with the effectiveness of such amendment, then such Loans and Commitments shall not be included in the determination of the Required Lenders with respect to such amendment. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing,
(1) no consent with respect to any waiver, amendment or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be required of any Defaulting Lender, except (I) with respect to any waiver, amendment or other modification
referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first proviso of this paragraph and then only in the event such Defaulting Lender shall be affected by such waiver, amendment or other modification or (II) the amendment of this subclause
(1), in each case which requires the consent of each applicable Defaulting Lender, (2) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within
five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from (x) the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment or (y) if affected by such amendment, any Issuing Bank stating that it
objects to such amendment, (3) this Agreement may be amended to provide for Incremental Facilities in the manner contemplated by Section 2.20, the extension of the Maturity Date 

  
 134 













 as provided in Section 2.21 and the incurrence of Refinancing Commitments and Refinancing Loans as
provided in Section 2.22, in each case without any additional consents and (4) no agreement referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall waive any condition set forth in Section 4.02 without the written consent of the
Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders (with respect to the Revolving Commitments), the Majority in Interest of the 364-Day Lenders (with respect to the 364-Day Commitments), or the Majority in Interest of the Term Lenders (with respect to
the Term Commitments) (it being understood and agreed that any amendment or waiver of, or any consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement (other than any waiver expressly relating to Section 4.02) or any other Loan Document,
including any amendment of an affirmative or negative covenant set forth herein or in any other Loan Document or any waiver of a Default or an Event of Default, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any condition set forth in Section 4.02).

 (c) In connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the
consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders, if the consent of the Required Lenders (and, to the extent any Proposed Change requires the consent of Lenders holding Loans of any Class pursuant to clause (v), (viii) or (ix) of paragraph
(b) of this Section 9.02, the consent of a Majority in Interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of such Class) to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is
required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.02 being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Lender that is acting as
Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the affected Class (or Classes) of Loans or Commitments to an assignee that
shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving
Commitment is being assigned, each Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed, (ii) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans
and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (in the case of such principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other
amounts), (iii) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b), (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law and (v) the
assignee shall have given its consent to such Proposed Change and, as a result of such assignment and delegation and any contemporaneous assignments and delegations and consents, such Proposed Change can be effected. 

(d) Any waiver, amendment or other modification effected in accordance with this Section 9.02, shall be binding upon each Person that is
at the time thereof a Lender and each Person that subsequently becomes a Lender. 

  
 135 













 SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver; Limitation of Liability. (a) The Borrower shall pay
(i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the
Arrangers, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and
their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for all the foregoing taken as a whole (and if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel in each relevant local jurisdiction
(which may include a single firm of special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions)), in connection with the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein and any credit or similar facility refinancing or
replacing, in whole or in part, any of the credit facilities provided for herein, as well as the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any waiver, amendments or modifications
of the provisions hereof or thereof, (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment
thereunder and (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for all the
foregoing taken as a whole (and if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel in each relevant local jurisdiction (which may include a single firm of special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) and, solely in the case of an actual or
perceived conflict of interest where the parties affected by such conflict inform the Borrower of such conflict, one additional counsel to the similarly affected parties taken as a whole (and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in each
relevant jurisdiction to the similarly affected parties taken as a whole (which may include a single firm of special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions))), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the
Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 9.03, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout,
restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. 
 (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative
Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Sustainability Structuring Agent, each Arranger, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, 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, penalties, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for all the Indemnitees taken as a whole and,
if reasonably necessary, one local counsel for all the Indemnitees taken as a whole in each relevant local jurisdiction (which may include a single firm of special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) (and, solely in the case of an actual or
perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnitees affected by such conflict inform the Borrower of such conflict, one additional counsel to the similarly affected Indemnitees taken as a whole (and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in
each relevant local jurisdiction to the similarly affected Indemnitees taken as a whole (which may include a single firm of special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions)), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in
connection with or as a result of (i) the structuring, arrangement and 

  
 136 













 
syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement
or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or any other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby,
(ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly
comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit) 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 and whether initiated
against or by any party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Affiliate of any of the foregoing or any third 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 (a) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final, non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence,
bad faith or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties, (b) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries against such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties for material breach of such
Person’s obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents if the Borrower or such Subsidiary has obtained a final and non-appealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or
(c) result from a proceeding that does not involve an act or omission by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries and that is brought by an Indemnitee against any other Indemnitee (other than claims against the Administrative Agent,
Documentation Agents, Syndication Agent, Sustainability Structuring Agent or any Arranger in their respective capacities or in fulfilling their respective roles as such under this Agreement or any other Loan Document); it being understood and agreed that the Borrower shall have no
obligation to reimburse any Indemnitee for any such fees or expenses unless such Indemnitee provides to the Borrower an undertaking in which such Indemnitee agrees to refund and return any and all amounts paid by the Borrower to such Indemnitee to
the extent any of the foregoing items in clauses (a) through (c) above occurs. This paragraph shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim. It is
understood and agreed that, to the extent not precluded by a conflict of interest, each Indemnitee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work cooperatively with the Borrower with a view to minimizing the legal and other expenses associated
with any defense and any potential settlement or judgment with respect to any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding referenced in this paragraph. Settlement of any claim or litigation involving any material indemnified amount shall require
the advance written approval of the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional release of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, and each of their respective
Related Parties, from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (B) does not include any statement as to any admission of fault. 

  
 137 













 (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required to be paid
by them under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9.03 to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Issuing Bank or any Related Party of any of the foregoing (and without limiting their obligation to do so), each
Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Bank or such Related Party, as applicable, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or
indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (it being understood and agreed that the Borrower’s failure to pay any such amount shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof); provided that the unreimbursed
expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as applicable, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or such sub-agent) or such Issuing Bank 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) or any Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity; provided further that, with respect to such unpaid amounts owed to any Issuing Bank in its capacity as
such, or to any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for any Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity, only the Revolving Lenders shall be required to pay such unpaid amounts. For purposes of this Section 9.03, a Lender’s
“pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Revolving Exposures, unused Revolving Commitments and, except for purposes of the second proviso of the immediately preceding sentence, the total 364-Day
Exposures, unused 364-Day Commitments and the outstanding Term Loans and unused Term Commitments, in each case at that time. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph are subject to the last sentence of Section 2.02(a) (which shall
apply mutatis mutandis to the Lenders’ obligations under this paragraph). 
 (d)
All amounts due under this Section 9.03 shall be payable not later than 30 days after written demand therefor,
which demand shall include documentation reasonably supporting such demand. 

(e) (d) To the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, (i) the Borrower shall not assert, or permit any of its respective
Affiliates or Related Parties to assert, and
eachthe
Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any indemnitee (i) for any damages the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, the Syndication Agent, any Co-Documentation Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Sustainability
Structuring Agent, any Lender and any Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called a “Lender-Related Person”) for any Liabilities arising from the use by others of information or other materials (including any personal
data) obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet) or (ii)
(except to the extent that such damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final, non-appealable judgment to
have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Lender-Related Person), and (ii) no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any Liabilities against any other party hereto, 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 or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.;
provided that, nothing in this Section 9.03(e) shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an
Indemnitee, as provided in Section 9.03(b), against any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party. 

(e) All amounts due under this Section 9.03 shall be payable
not later than 30 days after written demand therefor, which demand shall include documentation reasonably supporting such demand. 

  
 138 













 (f) The
Borrower shall not have any 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 transaction,
agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, or any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence will limit the indemnity and reimbursement obligations of the Borrower set forth in
this Section 9.03. 
 SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns.
(a) General. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any
Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted
assignment, delegation or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 9.04.
Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any
Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 9.04), any Arranger, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation
Agents, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the sub-agents of the Administrative Agent and the Related Parties of any of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agents,
the Sustainability Structuring Agent, any Issuing Bank and any
Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) Assignments by Lenders.
(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of
its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of (A) the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required
for an assignment and delegation to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if a payment Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Eligible Assignee; provided further that the Borrower shall be
deemed to have consented to any such assignment and delegation unless it shall object thereto by notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having received notice thereof, (B)

  
 139 













 
the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment and delegation of all or any portion of a Term Loan to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund and (C) each Issuing Bank, in the case of any assignment and delegation of all or a portion of a Revolving Commitment or any Lender’s obligations in respect of its LC Exposure. 

(ii) Assignments and delegations shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (A) except in the case of an
assignment and delegation to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment and delegation of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans
of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment and delegation (determined as of the trade date specified in the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment and delegation or, if no trade date is so specified, as of the date
the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment and delegation is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 or, in the case of Term Loans, $1,000,000, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent otherwise consents (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (B) each partial
assignment and delegation shall be made as an assignment and delegation of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that this clause (B) shall not be construed to
prohibit the assignment and delegation of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans, (C) the parties to each assignment and delegation shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that (1) only one such processing and recordation fee shall be payable in the event of simultaneous
assignments and delegations from any Lender or its Approved Funds to one or more other Approved Funds of such Lender and (2) with respect to any assignment pursuant to Section 2.18(b) or 9.02(c), the parties hereto agree that such
assignment may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto, and (D) the assignee, if
it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any tax forms required by Section 2.16(f) and an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level
information (which may contain MNPI) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, State and foreign securities laws. 

  
 140 













 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph
(b)(v) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned and delegated 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 and delegated by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under
this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all 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
(and subject to the obligations and limitations of) Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 and, subject to the terms of the applicable Assignment and Assumption, to any interest, fees and other amounts payable hereunder that have accrued for such
Lender’s account but have not yet been paid). Any assignment, delegation or other transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this
Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 9.04(c). 

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one
of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements
owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the
Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by
the Borrower and, as to entries pertaining to it, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(v) Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and
an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required by Section 2.16(f) (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph
(b) of this Section 9.04 and any written consent to such assignment and delegation required by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information
contained therein in the Register; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to accept such Assignment and Assumption or so record the information contained therein if the Administrative Agent reasonably believes that such
Assignment and Assumption lacks any written consent required by this Section 9.04 or is otherwise not in proper form, it being acknowledged that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation (and shall incur no liability) with
respect to obtaining (or confirming the receipt) of any such written consent or with respect to the form of (or any defect in) such Assignment and Assumption, any such duty and obligation being solely with the assigning Lender and the assignee. No


  
 141 













 
assignment or delegation shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph and, following such recording, unless
otherwise determined by the Administrative Agent (such determination to be made in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, which determination may be conditioned on the consent of the assigning Lender and the assignee), shall be effective
notwithstanding any defect in the Assignment and Assumption relating thereto. Each assigning Lender and the assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the Administrative Agent that
all written consents required by this Section 9.04 with respect thereto (other than the consent of the Administrative Agent) have been obtained and that such Assignment and Assumption is otherwise duly completed and in proper form, and each
assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the assigning Lender and the Administrative Agent that such assignee is an Eligible Assignee. 

(vi) The words “execution”,
“signed”, “signature” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption 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 applicable, 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. 

(c) Participations. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or any Issuing Bank , sell participations
to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and Loans of any Class); provided
that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 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 or any other Loan Document;
provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such
Participant or requires the approval of all the Lenders. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements
under Section 2.16(f) (it being understood and agreed that the documentation required under Section 2.16(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and


  
 142 













 
had acquired its interest by assignment and delegation pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the
provisions of Sections 2.17 and 2.18 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04 and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.16, with respect to any participation,
than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender
that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.18(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by
law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a
participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s
interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant
Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document) to any Person
except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the
Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any
notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

(d) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, at any time
pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 9.04 shall
not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for
such Lender as a party hereto. 
 SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the
Borrower in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other
parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its
behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation
Agents, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, any Issuing
Bank, 

  
 143 













 
any Lender or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time this Agreement or any other Loan Document
is executed and delivered or any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and
unpaid or any LC Exposure is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in the event that, in
connection with the refinancing or repayment in full of the credit facilities provided for herein, an Issuing Bank shall have provided to the Administrative Agent a written consent to the release of the Revolving Lenders from their obligations
hereunder with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (whether as a result of the obligations of the Borrower (and any other account party) in respect of such Letter of Credit having been collateralized in full by a deposit of
cash with such Issuing Bank, or being supported by a letter of credit that names such Issuing Bank as the beneficiary thereunder, or otherwise), then from and after such time such Letter of Credit shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit”
outstanding hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have no participations in such Letter of Credit, and no obligations with respect thereto, under Section 2.04(d)
or 2.04(e). The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 2.17(e) and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment or prepayment of the
Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration;
Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. (a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by
different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements
with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or the syndication of the Loans and Commitments constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall
have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or other electronic imaging shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

(b) Delivery of an executed counterpart
of a signature page of (x) this Agreement, (y) any other Loan Document and/or (z) any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any notice delivered pursuant to

 144 













 
contemplated hereby and/or thereby (each an “Ancillary Document”) that
is an Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement, such
other Loan Document or such Ancillary Document, as applicable. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,”
“delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures,
deliveries or the keeping of records in any electronic form (including deliveries by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual
executed signature page), each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a
manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof
or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or format
without its prior written consent and pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent
and each of the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower without further verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any such Electronic
signature and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby
(A) agrees that, for all purposes, including in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Lenders, and the
Borrower, Electronic Signatures transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page and/or any electronic images of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any
Ancillary Document shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, (B) the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders may, at its option, create one or more copies of this Agreement, any other Loan
Document and/or any Ancillary Document in the form of an imaged electronic record in any format, which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document (and all such electronic
records shall be considered an original for all purposes and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record), (C) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of
this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document and/or such Ancillary Document, respectively, including with respect to any signature
pages thereto and (D) waives any claim against any Lender-Related Person for any Liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures and/or transmissions by
telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page, including any Liabilities arising as a result of the
failure of the Borrower to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of
any Electronic Signature.

 SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each of
their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever
currency) or other amounts at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the
obligations then due of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or any such Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, such Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate shall have made
any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations of the Borrower are owed to a branch or office of such Lender, such Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such
Indebtedness. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the
validity of any such setoff and application under this Section 9.08. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section 9.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights
of setoff) that such Lender, such Issuing Bank and any such Affiliate may have.

any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other 

  
 146 













 
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may
otherwise have to bring any action, litigation or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or any of its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

(c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may

parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
