**Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

<u>Amended Credit Agreement</u>

On April 24, 2026, Amentum Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Amentum"), entered into the First

Amendment (the "First Amendment"), dated as of such date, among Amentum, Amentum Services, Inc., a Delaware

corporation ("Amentum Services"), Amentum Technology, Inc., a Tennessee corporation ("Amentum

Technology"), the other loan parties party thereto, the lenders party thereto, the issuing banks party thereto and

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the "Administrative Agent"), which amends the Credit

Agreement dated as of September 27, 2024 (the "Existing Credit Agreement" and, as amended by the First

Amendment, the "Credit Agreement"), among Amentum, the borrowing subsidiaries from time to time party thereto,

the lenders from time to time party thereto and the Administrative Agent.

The Credit Agreement provides for, among other things, (a) a new five-year senior secured term loan A facility in an

aggregate principal amount of $1.400 billion, (b) a new senior secured term loan B facility in an aggregate principal

amount of $1.591 billion and (c) a new five-year senior secured revolving facility with commitments in an aggregate

amount of $1.000 billion. The new term loan A facility and the new term loan B facility replaced the existing term

loan B facility under the Existing Credit Agreement, and the new revolving facility replaced the existing revolving

facility under the Existing Credit Agreement. Amentum, Amentum Services and Amentum Technology are co-

borrowers under the term facilities.

Amentum, Amentum Services and Amentum Technology used the proceeds of the term facilities, together with

other cash on hand of Amentum and its subsidiaries, to repay in full all outstanding borrowings and other amounts

under the Existing Credit Agreement and to pay fees and expenses related to the financing. Proceeds of the

revolving facility under the Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes. Any repayments and

prepayments of the term facilities may not be reborrowed; repayments of the revolving facility may be reborrowed

prior to the termination thereof.

The term loan A facility will mature on April 24, 2031 and, prior to its scheduled final maturity, will amortize in

quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to (a) from September 30, 2026 through June 30, 2028,

2.50% of the original principal amount of the loans borrowed thereunder, (b) from September 30, 2028 through June

30, 2030, 5.00% of the original principal amount of the loans borrowed thereunder and (c) for each fiscal quarter

thereafter, 7.50% of the original principal amount of the loans borrowed thereunder. The term loan B facility will

mature on September 27, 2031 and, prior to its scheduled final maturity, will amortize in equal quarterly installments

in an aggregate annual amount equal to 1.00% of the original principal amount of the loans borrowed thereunder.

The revolving facility will mature on April 24, 2031. Borrowings under the revolving facility are available in U.S.

dollars, Canadian dollars, euro and Sterling. A portion of the revolving facility is available for the issuance of letters

of credit in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, euro, Sterling and certain other foreign currencies.

The interest rate per annum applicable to the term loan A facility is, at Amentum's option, equal to either the

Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus an interest rate margin of 0.25% to 1.00% or the Term

SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus an interest rate margin of 1.25% to 2.00%, in each case, based on

Amentum's first lien leverage ratio. The interest rate per annum applicable to the term loan B facility is, at

Amentum's option, equal to either the Alternate Base Rate plus an interest rate margin of 0.75% or the Term SOFR

plus an interest rate margin of 1.75%. The interest rate per annum applicable to the revolving facility under the

Credit Agreement is, at Amentum's option, equal to either the Alternate Base Rate or Canadian Prime Rate (as

defined in the Credit Agreement) plus an interest rate margin of 0.25% to 1.00% or the Term SOFR, Daily Simple

SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement), EURIBOR (as defined in the Credit Agreement), Daily Simple SONIA

(as defined in the Credit Agreement) or Term CORRA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus an interest rate

margin of 1.25% to 2.00%, in each case, based on Amentum's first lien leverage ratio.

The Credit Agreement contains customary prepayment rights and customary mandatory prepayments, as well as

customary affirmative and negative covenants that apply to Amentum and its restricted subsidiaries, including

limitations on indebtedness, liens, restricted payments, restricted debt payments, investments, burdensome

agreements, disposition of assets, transactions with affiliates, conduct of business and fundamental changes. The

term loan B facility does not include any financial maintenance covenants. The term loan A facility and the

revolving facility include a financial maintenance covenant that requires compliance with a maximum first lien net

leverage ratio of 4.50 to 1.00, stepping up to 5.00 to 1.00 for four quarters following the consummation of certain

qualified material acquisitions. A breach of the financial maintenance covenant will only result in a default or event

of default with respect to the term loan B facility if the lenders under the term loan A facility and the revolving

facility have, as a result of such breach, demanded repayment of the obligations under the term loan A facility and

the revolving facility or otherwise accelerated such obligations (and terminated the commitments under the

revolving facility) and such demand or acceleration has not been rescinded.

The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default (with customary qualifications, exceptions, grace

periods and notice provisions), including nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, defaults under

other agreements, breach of loan documents, breach of representations and warranties, voluntary and involuntary

bankruptcy or appointment of receiver, unsatisfied judgments and attachments, certain ERISA events, change of

control, invalidity of guaranties, collateral documents and other loan documents, and obligations ceasing to

constitute senior indebtedness for purposes of certain subordinated indebtedness.

The obligations of Amentum, Amentum Services, Amentum Technology and any other borrowing subsidiaries

under the Credit Agreement and certain designated cash management obligations, hedging obligations and ancillary

services obligations, are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis (subject to customary exceptions) by, and

secured by perfected first-priority security interests (subject to permitted liens and other customary exceptions) in

substantially all tangible and intangible assets of, Amentum and its wholly owned material domestic restricted

subsidiaries.

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement and the First Amendment does not purport to be complete and is

subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Credit Agreement and the First

Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

Reference is made to (a) the Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated as of November 20, 2023 (including the exhibits and annexes thereto and the schedules (including disclosure schedules) referred to therein and, in each case, as amended, modified or waived from time to time, the "<u>Separation and Distribution Agreement</u>"), by and among Jacobs Solutions Inc., a Delaware corporation ("<u>Jacobs</u>"), Amazon Holdco Inc., a Delaware corporation (to be renamed Amentum Holdings, Inc. on the date hereof) ("<u>SpinCo</u>"), Amentum Parent Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("<u>Historical Amentum</u>"), and Amentum Joint Venture LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("<u>Historical Amentum Equityholder</u>"), and (b) the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 20, 2023 (including the exhibits and annexes thereto and the schedules (including disclosure schedules) referred to therein and, in each case, as amended, modified or waived from time to time, the "<u>Merger Agreement</u>"), by and among Jacobs, SpinCo, Historical Amentum and Historical Amentum Equityholder.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the Separation and Distribution Agreement, (a) Jacobs will effectuate the Separation of the SpinCo Business from the Company Business (as defined in the Separation and Distribution Agreement), including the Reorganization, (b) as part of the Reorganization and prior to the Distribution, SpinCo will make the SpinCo Payment to Jacobs, (c) following the payment of the SpinCo Payment, Jacobs will consummate the Distribution and (d) following the Separation, Historical Amentum will merge with and into SpinCo (the "<u>Merger</u>"), with SpinCo surviving the Merger.

On the Closing Date, immediately upon the effective time of the Merger, the SpinCo Term Loans shall, pursuant to the SpinCo Term Credit Agreement and Section 1.13 hereof, cease to be outstanding under and governed by the SpinCo Term Credit Agreement and the other SpinCo Loan Documents and instead shall constitute "Initial Term Loans", "Term Loans" and "Loans" under, and shall be governed by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the SpinCo Term Credit Agreement and the other SpinCo Loan Documents shall be deemed to be superseded and replaced in their entirety with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall cease to be in effect.

Furthermore, in connection with the Merger, Historical Amentum requested that the Lenders and the Issuing Banks extend credit under this Agreement in the form of (a) Initial Term

**<u>1</u>**

**<u>2[[8395121]]</u>**

Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to US$2,620,000,000, pursuant to which the Initial Term Lenders will, on the Closing Date, make Initial Term Loans to Historical Amentum the proceeds of which will be used, together with the net proceeds of the Senior Notes and cash on hand of Historical Amentum and its Restricted Subsidiaries, to consummate the Historical Amentum Refinancing and which Initial Term Loans will constitute a single Class of Loans with the SpinCo Term Loans, and (b) an Initial Revolving Facility in an aggregate available amount thereunder as of the Closing Date of US$850,000,000.

On the Closing Date, immediately upon the effective time of the Merger, SpinCo shall become a successor to Historical Amentum and shall assume all of the rights, obligations and liabilities of Historical Amentum under this Agreement (including as the "Company" hereunder and as a borrower in respect of the Initial Term Loans made to the Company) and under the other Loan Documents.

adoption of any proposals set forth in the *Proposed Accounting Standards Update, Leases (Topic 842)*, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on May 16, 2013, or any other proposals issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in connection therewith, in each case if such change would require treating any lease (or similar arrangement conveying the right to use) as a Capital Lease (or a finance lease) where such lease (or similar arrangement) was not required to be so treated under GAAP as in effect on December 31, 2017. If the Company notifies the Administrative Agent that the Company is required or has elected to report under IFRS, then "GAAP" shall mean IFRS. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that (I) a conversion to report under IFRS will not result, and will not be treated as, (x) an incurrence of any Indebtedness or (y) have the effect of making any action (including any action conditioned on compliance with a financial ratio or test) that was taken prior to such conversion (and that, at the time taken, was in compliance with the terms of this Agreement) to cease to be in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and (II) the Company and its subsidiaries may be required to restate historical financial statements as the result of the implementation of changes in GAAP or in the application thereof (including as a result of conversion to report under IFRS), and such restatements will not, solely as a result of compliance with such change in GAAP or in the application thereof (including such conversion to report under IFRS), result in a Default or an Event of Default.

Further, if since the beginning of any Test Period and on or prior to the date of any required calculation of any financial ratio or test, any Subject Transaction has occurred, then, in each case, any applicable financial ratio or test shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis for such Test Period as if such Subject Transaction had occurred as of the first day of the applicable Test Period (or, in the case of Consolidated Total Assets, as of the last day of such Test Period), <u>provided</u> that when calculating the First Lien Leverage Ratio for purposes of the definitions of "Applicable Rate", "Commitment Fee Rate", "Required Asset Sale Percentage" (except as expressly set forth in the definition of such term) and "Required Excess Cash Flow Percentage" (except as expressly set forth in the definition of such term) and for purposes of the Financial Covenant (other than for the purpose of determining compliance with the Financial Covenant on a Pro Forma Basis as a condition to taking any action in accordance with this Agreement), the Subject Transactions that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period shall not be given pro forma effect. For purposes of the foregoing, (i) to the extent the proceeds of any newly incurred Indebtedness are intended to be used by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to refinance any other Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries no later than 60 days following the date of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, the Company may, in its sole discretion, give pro forma effect to such refinancing of such other Indebtedness and (ii) in the event the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall have entered into a binding definitive agreement or letter of intent with respect any acquisition, Investment or Disposition that constitutes a Subject Transaction (but which acquisition, Investment or Disposition has not yet been consummated), the Company may, in its sole discretion and for purposes of this Section 1.04(b), deem such acquisition, Investment or Disposition (and all related Subject Transactions, including any incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness) to "have been consummated" or to "have occurred" upon the entry into such binding definitive agreement or letter of

------

intent (but not after such binding definitive agreement or letter of intent is terminated without consummation of such acquisition, Investment or Disposition).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, all references in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Secured Leverage Ratio, the Total Leverage Ratio, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, the Interest Coverage Ratio, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Consolidated Fixed Charges, Consolidated Net Income, Consolidated Total Assets or any other financial metric (including component definitions thereof) being determined on a consolidated basis for the Company or on a consolidated basis for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (or references of similar import) will be deemed to include each variable interest entity the financial results of which are required to be consolidated in the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP as if such variable interest entity were a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; <u>provided</u> that such variable interest entities shall not otherwise be treated as subsidiaries of the Company for any other purpose under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including for purposes of Articles 3, 5, 6 and 7 hereof and any representations, warranties or covenants set forth in any other Loan Document unless otherwise constituting Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, all references in this Agreement to the Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Consolidated Net Income or Consolidated Total Debt attributable to any Person in which the Company, directly or indirectly, owns any Capital Stock but that is not a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company, the percentage of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Consolidated Net Income or Consolidated Total Debt of such Person (assuming for purposes of this Section 1.04(d) that all references to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the definition of "Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA", "Consolidated Net Income" or "Consolidated Total Debt" referred to such Person and its subsidiaries) that may be considered to be Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Consolidated Net Income or Consolidated Total Debt under this Agreement shall be equal to the percentage of all issued and outstanding Capital Stock of such Person that is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company.

SECTION 1.05.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Effectuation of Transactions</u>. Each of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (and all corresponding definitions) is made after giving effect to the Transactions, unless the context otherwise requires.**<u>[Reserved].</u>**

SECTION 1.06.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Timing of Payment or Performanc</u>e. When payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is stated to be due or performance required on a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment (other than as described in the definition of "Interest Period") or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.

SECTION 1.07.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Currency Equivalents Generall</u>y.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Administrative Agent shall determine the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of any Borrowing or any Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars on each applicable

Exchange Rate Date, in each case using the Exchange Rate for such currency in relation to U.S. Dollars in effect on the date of determination, and such amount shall be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such Borrowing or such Letter of Credit until the next calculation thereof pursuant to this sentence. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders of each determination of the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of each Borrowing and Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For purposes of any determination under Article 5, Article 6 (other than Section 6.09 and the calculation of compliance with any financial ratio for purposes of taking any action hereunder) or Article 7 with respect to the amount of any Indebtedness, Lien, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment, Investment, Disposition, Sale and Lease-Back Transaction, Affiliate transaction or other transaction, event or circumstance (any of the foregoing, a "<u>specified transaction</u>") in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount of a specified transaction shall be calculated based on the rate of exchange quoted by the Bloomberg Foreign Exchange Rates & World Currencies Page (or by reference to any other reputable publicly available service for displaying exchange rates as may be selected by the Company) for such foreign currency, as in effect (as of the time of determination by the Company) on the date of such specified transaction (or, in the case of any specified transaction, at the election of the Company, such other date as shall be applicable with respect to such specified transaction pursuant to Section 1.09(a) or, in the case of the incurrence of Indebtedness, on the date such Indebtedness is first committed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) if any Indebtedness is incurred or assumed (and, if applicable, associated Lien granted) to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, and the relevant refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness (and, if applicable, associated Lien granted) does not exceed an amount sufficient to repay the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced, except by the sum of (A) an amount equal to unpaid accrued interest, penalties and premiums (including tender premiums and prepayment premiums) thereon <u>plus</u> defeasance costs, underwriting discounts and other fees, commissions and expenses (including upfront fees, original issue discount or initial yield payments) incurred in connection with such refinancing, (B) an amount equal to any existing commitments unutilized thereunder or letters of credit undrawn thereunder and (C) additional amounts permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 6.01 (or, if applicable, secured under Section 6.02) and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in the rate of currency exchange occurring after the time of any specified transaction (or, if applicable, as of such other time as is applicable to such specified transaction pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence). For purposes of Section 6.09 and the calculation of compliance with any financial ratio for purposes of taking any action hereunder, on any relevant date of determination, amounts denominated in currencies other than U.S. Dollars shall be translated into U.S. Dollars at the applicable currency exchange rate used by the Company in preparing the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b) (or, prior to the first such delivery, the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.04), as applicable, for the relevant Test Period and may, at the election of the Company, with respect to any Indebtedness, reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of any Hedge Agreement permitted hereunder in respect of currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination for the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount of such Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, to the extent that the Company would not be in compliance with Section 6.09<u>)</u> if any Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars were to be translated into U.S. Dollars on the basis of the applicable currency exchange rate used in preparing the financial statements for the relevant Test Period, but would be in compliance with Section 6.09 if such Indebtedness that is denominated in a currency other than in U.S. Dollars were instead translated into U.S.

Dollars on the basis of the average relevant currency exchange rates over such Test Period (taking into account, at the election of the Company, the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of any Hedge Agreement permitted hereunder in respect of currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination for the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount of such Indebtedness), then, solely for purposes of compliance with Section 6.09, the First Lien Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such Test Period shall be calculated on the basis of such average relevant currency exchange rates.

not be permitted solely by reference to one clause or subclause of Section 6.01, 6.02, 6.03, 6.04, 6.05, 6.06 or 6.07, respectively (or one clause or subclause of any related definitions, including Incremental Cap), but may instead be permitted in part under any combination of clauses or subclauses of such Section (or such related definitions), all as classified or reclassified by the Company in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time, and shall constitute a usage of any availability under such clause or subclause only to the extent so classified or reclassified thereto; <u>provided</u> that (i) the Credit Facilities may only be permitted under Section 6.01(a) and secured by Liens permitted pursuant to Section 6.02(a) and (ii) Indebtedness incurred under Section 6.01(p), 6.01(v) or 6.01(w), to the extent such Indebtedness is secured by Liens on the Collateral that are *pari passu* (but without regard to the control of remedies) with or expressly junior to the Liens on the Collateral securing the Credit Facilities, may not be reclassified to any other clause of Section 6.01 and such Liens on the Collateral may only be incurred under Section 6.02(s)(i) or 6.02(s)(iii), as applicable. In addition, for purposes of determining compliance at any time with Section 6.01, 6.02, 6.03 or 6.05 (and for purposes of any related definitions, including the Incremental Cap and Inside Maturity Amount), the Company may, at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion, reclassify (or deem such reclassification to have occurred automatically), any Indebtedness, Lien, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment or Investment (or a portion thereof), as applicable, previously incurred, made or otherwise undertaken under any basket or prong as having been incurred, made or otherwise undertaken under any applicable "ratio-based" basket or prong set forth in such Section (or such related definitions) if such item (or such portion thereof) would, using the figures as of the end of or for any Test Period ended after the date of such incurrence, making or undertaking, be permitted under the applicable "ratio-based" basket or prong; <u>provided</u> that, in the case of Sections 6.01 and 6.02, any such reclassification shall be subject to the limitations set forth in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence. For the avoidance of doubt, any amount so classified or reclassified to any applicable "ratio-based" basket or prong shall be disregarded, and shall be deemed not to be outstanding, for purposes of determining availability under any other applicable exception in such Section (and for purposes of any related definitions, including any Fixed Amount under the Incremental Cap) that does not require compliance with a ratio. In addition, in the case of any clause or subclause of Section 6.01 or 6.02 that requires a calculation of any such financial ratio or test, to the extent the committed amount of any Indebtedness has been tested, such committed amount may, at the election of the Company, thereafter be borrowed and, in the case of commitments of a revolving nature, reborrowed in whole or in part, from time to time, without any further testing under Section 6.01 or Section 6.02.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For purposes of determining compliance with this Agreement, (i) the outstanding principal amount of any Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof shall be equal, as of any date of determination, to the principal amount thereof that would appear on a consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of such date prepared in accordance with GAAP and (ii) the accrual of interest, fees or premium, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest, fees or premiums in the form of additional Indebtedness and/or any increase in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of any fluctuation in the exchange rate of any applicable currency shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness and, to the extent secured, shall not be deemed to result in an increase of the obligations so secured or to be a grant of a Lien securing any such obligation.

SECTION 1.10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Rounding</u>. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Company pursuant to this Agreement (or required to be satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted under this Agreement) shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding up if there is no nearest number).

SECTION 1.11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Division</u>s. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division of or with respect to any Person under Delaware law (or any comparable event under the applicable law of any other jurisdiction), if, pursuant thereto, (a) any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been Disposed by the original Person to the subsequent Person and (b) any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Capital Stock at such time.

SECTION 1.12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Interest Rates; Benchmark Notification</u>. The interest rate on a Loan denominated in U.S. Dollars or an Alternative Currency may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that may be discontinued or is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, Section 2.13 provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. 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 any interest rates used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including, without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the existing interest rate being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did any existing rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to any Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any interest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to any Borrower, any Lender or any other Person 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to Section 2.13, (i) each Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or**<u>,</u>** Term **<u>SOFR Loans or, solely in the case of Revolving Borrowings, Daily Simple</u>** SOFR Loans, as the applicable Borrower may request in accordance herewith, (ii) each Borrowing denominated in Euros shall be comprised entirely of EURIBOR Loans, (iii) each Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be comprised entirely of Term CORRA Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as the applicable Borrower may request in accordance herewith, (iv) each Borrowing denominated in Sterling shall be comprised entirely of SONIA Loans and (v) each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR**<u>a Daily Simple SOFR</u>** Loan.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Issuing Bank agrees, at any time and from time to time during the period commencing on the Closing**<u>First Amendment Effective</u>** Date and ending on the date that is five Business Days prior to the Latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date (determined, with respect to each Issuing Bank, giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(vi)), upon the request of any Borrower, (i) to issue Letters of Credit denominated in U.S. Dollars or in any Alternative LC Currency for the account of the Company, any of its subsidiaries (including any Borrowing Subsidiary) or any joint ventures of any of the foregoing (<u>provided</u> that, in the case of any Letter of Credit issued for the account of any such subsidiary (other than any Borrowing Subsidiary) or any such joint venture, the Company will be a co-applicant and remain primarily liable for the obligations of such Person with respect to such Letter of Credit) in support of its or its subsidiaries' or such joint ventures' obligations, in a form reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Bank, and (ii) to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it; <u>provided</u> that no Issuing Bank shall be required (but shall be permitted) to issue any Letter of Credit that is not a standby Letter of Credit. Each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed, for all purposes of this Agreement (including Sections 2.05(d) and 2.05(e)), to be a Letter of Credit issued hereunder. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any joint ventures of any of the foregoing to, or entered into by the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any joint ventures of any of the foregoing with, the relevant Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. To the extent any letter of credit application or other document entered into by the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any joint ventures of any of the foregoing with any Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit contains any representations or warranties, covenants, defaults or events of default that are not set forth in this Agreement (or that are inconsistent with this Agreement, including because they do not contain the standards, qualifications, thresholds and exceptions for materiality consistent with those set forth in this Agreement), such representations or warranties, covenants, defaults and events of default shall be deemed to be not a part of such letter of credit application or other document (or in the case of such inconsistency, shall be deemed to be reformulated (including to include the applicable standards, qualifications, thresholds and exceptions set forth herein) to conform to the terms of this Agreement) without further action by any Person, and each Issuing Bank expressly agrees that no default, breach or penalty under such letter of credit application or other document shall arise as a result thereof; <u>provided</u> that, notwithstanding the above, the representations and warranties set forth in any letter of credit application in respect of the issuance, amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit may include an enforceability representation and warranty consistent with Section 3.02. The Company unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that, in connection with any Letter of Credit (including any Existing Letter of Credit) issued for the account of any of its subsidiaries (other than any Borrowing Subsidiary) or any joint venture of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the Company will be fully responsible for the reimbursement of LC Disbursements in accordance with the terms hereof, the payment of interest thereon and the payment of fees due under Section 2.11(b) to the same extent as if it were the sole account party in respect of such Letter of Credit (the Company hereby irrevocably waiving any defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of the obligations of such subsidiary or such joint venture, as applicable, that is an account party in respect of any such Letter of

------

Credit). Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of the Company, its subsidiaries and the joint ventures of any of the foregoing inures to the benefit of such Borrower, and that such Borrower's business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of the Company, its subsidiaries and such joint ventures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Notice of Issuance, Amendment or Extension; Certain Conditions</u>. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit (other than an automatic extension permitted pursuant to Section 2.05(c))), the applicable Borrower shall deliver to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, at least three Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank or, in the case of any issuance to be made on the Closing Date, one Business Day prior to the Closing Date) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended or extended, in the form of <u>Exhibit J</u> attached hereto or such other form as the Company and the applicable Issuing Bank may agree to and specifying the date of issuance, amendment or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.05(c)), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the currency of such Letter of Credit (which shall comply with Section 2.05(a)), the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, whether such Letter of Credit is a Performance Letter of Credit and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the applicable 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 and provide any documentation or other information required by regulatory authorities under applicable "know your customer" rules and regulations for the beneficiary and any party to be named on such Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment or extension of each Letter of Credit the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension (i) the total LC Exposure shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, (ii) the Total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments, (iii) the amount of any Revolving Lender's Revolving Credit Exposure attributable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class shall not exceed such Revolving Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class and (iv) the portion of the total LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by the applicable Issuing Bank shall not (unless otherwise agreed by such Issuing Bank) exceed its LC Commitment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Expiration Date</u>. No Letter of Credit shall expire later than 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 extension thereof, one year after the then-current expiration at the time of such extension) or such longer period as may be agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date, unless such Letter of Credit, as of the date specified in this clause (ii), is subject to cash collateral or backstop arrangements reasonably acceptable to the relevant Issuing Bank; <u>provided</u> that, if the applicable Borrower so requests in any applicable letter of credit application, the relevant Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an "<u>Auto-Extension Letter of Credit</u>"). Unless otherwise directed by an Issuing Bank, no Borrower shall be required to make a specific request to an 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 relevant Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the date set forth in Section 2.05(c)(ii) (or, if such Letter of Credit is subject to cash collateral or backstop arrangements reasonably acceptable to the relevant Issuing Bank, a later date).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Participations</u>. By the issuance of any Letter of Credit (or an amendment to any Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof or extending the term thereof**<u>, the listing on Schedule 2.05A of an Existing Letter of Credit described in clause (a) of the definition thereof or a designation of an Existing Letter of Credit pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of such term</u>**) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the applicable Issuing Bank 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 Revolving Credit 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 Lender's Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 2.05(e), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason, each such payment to be made (i) in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in an Agreed Currency, in the currency of such LC Disbursement or (ii) in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in any other currency, in U.S. Dollars in an amount equal to the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such LC Disbursement or reimbursement payment, calculated by the Administrative Agent using the Exchange Rate on the applicable LC Participation Calculation Date. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this Section 2.05(d) in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default, reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments or any fluctuation in currency values, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Reimbursement</u>. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement, in the currency of such LC Disbursement, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the date on which such Borrower receives notice that such LC Disbursement is made; <u>provided</u> that, in the case of any LC Disbursement denominated in U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars, the applicable Borrower may request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing (with respect to any LC Disbursement denominated in U.S. Dollars only), a Canadian Prime Rate Revolving Borrowing (with respect to any LC Disbursement denominated in Canadian Dollars only) or a Swingline Loan (with respect to any LC Disbursement denominated in U.S. Dollars only) in an amount of such LC Disbursement and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower's obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing, Canadian Prime Rate Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan, as the case may be. If such Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, whereupon (i) if such payment relates to a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative LC Currency that is not an Agreed Currency, automatically and with no further action required, the obligation of such Borrower to reimburse the applicable LC Disbursement shall be permanently converted into an obligation to reimburse the U.S. Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the Exchange Rate on the applicable LC Participation Calculation Date, of such LC Disbursement and (ii) in the case of each LC Disbursement, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the amount of the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender's Applicable Revolving Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the payment then due from such Borrower in the currency of such LC Disbursement

------

(or, in the case of any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit denominated in a currency that is not an Agreed Currency, in U.S. Dollars), in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, *mutatis mutandis*, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this Section 2.05(e)), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay 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 applicable Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.05(e), 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 Section 2.05(e) 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 Section 2.05(e) to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans, Canadian Prime Rate Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve any Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Obligations Absolute</u>. Each Borrower's obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under any 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 2.05, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the applicable Borrower's obligation hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Banks or any of their respective Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank; <u>provided</u> that nothing in this Section 2.05(f) shall be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any joint ventures of any of the foregoing to the extent of any direct damages suffered by any such Person 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, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or its Related Parties (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), 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 which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of any Letter of Credit, the applicable 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Disbursement Procedures</u>. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under

------

a Letter of Credit and shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower by telephone (confirmed by email or other electronic transmission) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make any LC Disbursement thereunder; <u>provided</u> that no failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall relieve any Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Interim Interest</u>. If any Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, unless the applicable Borrower reimburses 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 such Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement (or the date on which such LC Disbursement is reimbursed with the proceeds of Loans, as applicable), at (i) in the case of any LC Disbursement denominated in U.S. Dollars, and at all times following the conversion to U.S. Dollars of any LC Disbursement made in an Alternative LC Currency pursuant to Section 2.05(e) or 2.05(l), the rate per annum then applicable to Initial Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans (or, to the extent of the participation in such LC Disbursement by any Revolving Lender of another Class, the rate per annum then applicable to the ABR Revolving Loans of such other Class) and (ii) in the case of an LC Disbursement denominated in any Alternative LC Currency, at all times prior to its conversion to Dollars pursuant to Section 2.05(e) or 2.05(l), a rate per annum equal to the applicable Alternative Currency Overnight Rate <u>plus</u> the Applicable Rate used to determine interest applicable to Initial Revolving Loans that are Term Benchmark Loans (or, to the extent of the participation in such LC Disbursement by any Revolving Lender of another Class, the Applicable Rate used to determine interest applicable to the Revolving Loans of such other Class that are Term Benchmark Loans); <u>provided</u> that if such Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to Section 2.05(e), then Section 2.12(e) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this Section 2.05(h) shall be 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 Section 2.05(e) to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment and shall be payable on the date on which the applicable Borrower is required to reimburse the applicable LC Disbursement in full (and, thereafter, on demand).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Replacement of an Issuing Bank; Designation of New Issuing Banks</u>. From time to time, the Company may (i) replace any Issuing Bank with any other Person that shall have agreed to act in such capacity or (ii) designate as an additional Issuing Bank any Person that shall have agreed to act in such capacity, in each case pursuant to an agreement in writing executed by the Company and such other Person; <u>provided</u> that (A) any replacement or additional Issuing Bank shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and (B) such agreement shall set forth the LC Commitment of such replacement or additional Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement or addition of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Company shall pay (or cause to be paid) all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(ii). From and after the effective date of any such replacement or addition, (x) the successor or additional Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (y) references herein to the term "Issuing Bank" shall be deemed to refer to such successor or additional Issuing Bank or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor or additional Issuing Bank and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of any Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit then outstanding and issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Cash Collateralization</u>. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Company receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, the Required Revolving Lenders) demanding the deposit of Cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.05(j), the Company shall deposit (or cause to be deposited), in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders (the "<u>LC Collateral Account</u>"), an amount in Cash and in the currency of each applicable Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any LC Disbursements in an Alternative LC Currency in respect of which any Borrower's reimbursement obligations have been converted to obligations in U.S. Dollars as provided in Section 2.05(e) or 2.05(l), in U.S. Dollars) equal to 103% of the amount of the LC Exposure attributable to such Letter of Credit as of such date <u>plus</u> any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (<u>minus</u> the amount then on deposit in the LC Collateral Account); <u>provided</u> 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 Company described in Section 7.01(f) or 7.01(g). The Company shall also deposit (or cause to be deposited) Cash collateral in accordance with this Section 2.05(j) as and to the extent required by Section 2.10(b)(vii) or 2.20. Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.05(j). The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the LC Collateral Account, and the Company hereby grants the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in the LC Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the direction of the Company but subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and at the Borrowers' 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 applicable Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders) be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. If the Company is required to provide an amount of Cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (together with all interest and other earnings with respect thereto, to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Company promptly after such Event of Default has been cured or waived. If the Company is required to provide an amount of Cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(vii), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Company promptly to the extent that the applicable excess referred to in such Section shall have been eliminated and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If an amount of Cash collateral is required to be provided hereunder pursuant to Section 2.20, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Company promptly 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 Credit Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders and/or the remaining Cash collateral and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Issuing Bank Agreements</u>. Each Issuing Bank agrees that such Issuing Bank shall report to the Administrative Agent such information with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Conversion.</u> In the event that the Revolving Loans become immediately due and payable on any date pursuant to Article 8, all amounts (i) that any Borrower is at the time or becomes thereafter required to reimburse or otherwise pay to the Administrative Agent in respect of LC

------

Disbursements made under any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative LC Currency that is not an Agreed Currency (other than amounts in respect of which the applicable Borrowers have deposited cash collateral, if such cash collateral was deposited in the applicable currency), (ii) that the Revolving Lenders are at the time or become thereafter required to pay to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent is at the time or becomes thereafter required to distribute to the applicable Issuing Bank) pursuant to Section 2.05(e) in respect of unreimbursed LC Disbursements made under any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative LC Currency that is not an Agreed Currency and (iii) of each Lender's participation in any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative LC Currency that is not an Agreed Currency under which an LC Disbursement has been made shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the U.S. Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the Exchange Rate on such date (or in the case of any LC Disbursement made after such date, on the date such LC Disbursement is made), of such amounts. On and after such conversion, all amounts accruing and owed to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in respect of the obligations described in this Section 2.05(l) shall accrue and be payable in U.S. Dollars at the rates otherwise applicable hereunder.

SECTION 2.06.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Funding of Borrowings</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder not later than (i) 12:00 p.m., New York City time, in the case of Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans, and (ii) 12:00 p.m., New York City time (or, if later, such time as shall be two hours after delivery to the Administrative Agent of the applicable Borrowing Request), in the case of ABR Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, in each case, on the Business Day specified in the applicable Borrowing Request (or, in each case, in respect of any Loans to be made pursuant to any Incremental Facility Amendment or Refinancing Amendment, such other time as may be specified therein) by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the applicable currency to such account of the Administrative Agent as has been most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; <u>provided</u> that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower by promptly remitting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the account designated in the relevant Borrowing Request or as otherwise directed by the applicable Borrower (or the Company on its behalf); <u>provided</u> that ABR Revolving Loans, Canadian Prime Rate Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans made to finance the reimbursement of any LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from any 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 Section 2.06(a) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if any Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and such Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the applicable Overnight Rate or (ii) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Loans comprising such Borrowing at such time. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in such Borrowing and the obligation of such Borrower to repay the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) shall cease. If such Borrower pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, the amount so paid shall constitute a repayment of such Borrowing by such amount. If such 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 such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or any Borrower or any other Loan Party may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

SECTION 2.07.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Type; Interest Elections</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Borrowing shall initially be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of any Term Benchmark Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request or as otherwise provided in Section 2.03. Thereafter, the applicable Borrower may elect to convert any Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.07. A 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 of the applicable Class based upon their Applicable Percentages of such Class and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.07, no Borrower shall be permitted to (i) change the currency of any Borrowing, (ii) elect an Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing that does not comply with Section 2.02(d) or (iii) convert any Borrowing to a Borrowing of a Type not available under the Class of Commitments pursuant to which such Borrowing was made.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender's portion of each resulting Borrowing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If the applicable Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Term Benchmark Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein and subject to Section 2.13, at the end of such Interest Period, such Borrowing shall be continued as a Borrowing of the same Type for an Interest Period of one month's duration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if an Event of Default exists and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, notifies the Company of the application of this sentence, then, so long as such Event of Default exists no Borrower may elect an Interest Period for any Term Benchmark Borrowing of more than one month's duration.

venture, in each case, for so long as, and to the extent that (as determined by the Company in good faith), the relevant joint venture has not distributed to the Company or any of its wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiaries such Excess Cash Flow or Net Proceeds; it being understood that if the relevant joint venture has so distributed the relevant Excess Cash Flow or the relevant Net Proceeds, as the case may be, the distributed Excess Cash Flow or Net Proceeds, as the case may be, will be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days after such distribution) applied to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) to the extent required herein (without regard to this clause (B)), <u>provided</u> that the foregoing prepayment requirement shall cease to apply 365 days after the end of the applicable Fiscal Year or the occurrence of the event giving rise to the relevant Net Proceeds; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any Term Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent at or prior to the time and in the manner specified by the Administrative Agent, prior to any prepayment of Term Loans required to be made by any Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) (other than Section 2.10(b)(iii)), to decline all (but not a portion) of its Applicable Percentage of such prepayment (such declined amounts, the "<u>Declined Proceeds</u>"), in which case such Declined Proceeds will be retained by the applicable Borrowers. If any Lender fails to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent of its election to decline receipt of its Applicable Percentage of any mandatory prepayment within the time frame specified by the Administrative Agent, such failure will be deemed to constitute an acceptance of such Lender's Applicable Percentage of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement or provided in any Refinancing Amendment, any Incremental Facility Amendment or any Extension/Modification Amendment, **<u>(A) each prepayment of Term B Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i) shall be applied ratably to each Class of Term B Loans then outstanding and (B)</u>** each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(b)**<u>(ii) or 2.10(b)(iii)</u>** shall be applied ratably to each Class of Term Loans then outstanding. With respect to each Class of Term Loans, all prepayments of principal under this Section 2.10(b) shall be applied against the remaining scheduled amortization payments due in respect of such Term Loans as directed by the applicable

------

Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) or, in the absence of such direction, in direct order of maturity, and each such prepayment, except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(v), shall be paid to the Term Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentage of the applicable Class. Any mandatory prepayment by any Borrower of the Term Loans of any Class pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the then outstanding Term Loans of such Class, irrespective of whether such outstanding Term Loans are ABR Loans, Term SOFR Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans; <u>provided</u> that, in the case of a mandatory prepayment under Section 2.10(b)(iii) or, if no Lenders exercise the right to waive such mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(v), any other clause of this Section 2.10(b), the amount of such mandatory prepayment shall be applied first to the then outstanding Term Loans of such Class that are ABR Loans, then to the then outstanding Term Loans of such Class that are Daily Simple SOFR Loans, and then to the then outstanding Term Loans of such Class that are Term SOFR Loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event that the Total Revolving Credit Exposure attributable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class exceeds the total Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class then in effect, then on the day that is five Business Days after receipt by the Company of notice from the Administrative Agent of such excess, the applicable Borrowers shall take the actions referred to in the next sentence to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess; <u>provided</u> that, if such excess arises as a result of fluctuations in the Exchange Rate, the applicable Borrowers shall not be required to take such actions with respect to the Term Benchmark Borrowings prior to the end of the Interest Period then applicable thereto unless the Total Revolving Credit Exposure attributable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class exceeds 105% of the total Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class then in effect. In each case, the applicable Borrowers may eliminate such excess by taking any of the following actions as the Company shall determine at its sole discretion: (x) prepaying Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans or (y) with respect to any excess LC Exposure, the Company's depositing of Cash in a Cash collateral account established for the benefit of the relevant Issuing Bank or the "backstopping" or replacing the relevant Letters of Credit, in each case, in an amount equal to 103% of such excess LC Exposure (<u>minus</u> any amount then on deposit in the LC Collateral Account or any Cash collateral account established for the benefit of the relevant Issuing Bank). Each prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing under this Section 2.10(b)(vii) shall be paid to the Revolving Lenders of the applicable Class in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages of such Class.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Prepayments made under this Section 2.10(b) shall be (A) accompanied by accrued interest as required by Section 2.12 and (B) in the case of prepayments of Initial Term **<u>B</u>** Loans under Section 2.10(b)(iii) that constitutes a Repricing Transaction, subject to Section 2.11(e), but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company agrees to pay (or cause to be paid) to the Administrative Agent, in U.S. Dollars, for the account of each Revolving Lender of any Class (other than any Defaulting Lender) a commitment fee, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Rate applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class on the average daily amount of the unused Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class of such Revolving Lender during the period from and including the Closing**<u>First Amendment Effective</u>** Date to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class terminates. Commitment fees accrued pursuant to this

Section 2.11(a) through and including the last day of each March, June, September and December (commencing with December 31**<u>June 30</u>**, 2024**<u>2026</u>**) shall be payable in arrears on the 15th day following such last day, and accrued commitment fees shall also be payable on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class terminate. For purposes of calculating the commitment fees only, the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Class of any Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of Revolving Loans of such Class of such Revolving Lender and the LC Exposure of such Revolving Lender attributable to its Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class (and the Swingline Exposure of such Revolving Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company agrees to pay (or cause to be paid) (i) to the Administrative Agent, in U.S. Dollars, for the account of each Revolving Lender of any Class a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which fee shall accrue, at (x) in the case of participations in any Letter of Credit (other than a Performance Letter of Credit), the Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans of such Class that are Term Benchmark Loans and (y) in the case of participations in any Performance Letter of Credit, a rate equal to 50% of the Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans of such Class that are Term Benchmark Loans, in each case, on the daily amount of such Lender's LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof that is attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements or that is attributable to Letters of Credit that are cash collateralized or backstopped in accordance with this Agreement) attributable to its Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class, during the period from and including the Closing**<u>First Amendment Effective</u>** Date to the earlier of (A) the later of the date on which such Revolving Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure attributable to its Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class and (B) the Termination Date, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee, in U.S. Dollars, in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to the earlier of (A) the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (B) the date on which such Letter of Credit terminates or (C) the Termination Date, which shall accrue at a rate equal to 0.125% per annum of the daily amount of the LC Exposure attributable to such Letter of Credit (excluding any portion thereof that is attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements and except to the extent such Letter of Credit is cash collateralized or backstopped in accordance with this Agreement), as well as such Issuing Bank's standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment 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 each March, June, September and December **<u>(commencing with June 30, 2026)</u>** shall be payable in arrears on the 15th day following such last day; <u>provided</u> that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class terminate, and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 30 days after receipt of a written demand (accompanied by reasonable back-up documentation) therefor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company agrees to pay (or cause to be paid) to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the annual administration fee as separately agreed in writing by the Company in respect of the Credit Facilities. The Company further agrees to pay (or cause to be paid) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Person, any other fees as separately agreed in writing by the Company in respect of the Credit Facilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to any Issuing Bank). Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances except

as otherwise as separately agreed in writing by the Company and the applicable Person to which such fee is paid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event that, prior to the date that is six months after the Closing**<u>First Amendment Effective</u>** Date, the Company (i) prepays or repays any Initial Term **<u>B</u>** Loans in a Repricing Transaction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(iii) that constitutes a Repricing Transaction) or (ii) effects any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of this Agreement that constitutes a Repricing Transaction, the Company shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Initial Term **<u>B</u>** Lenders, 1.00%, in each case, of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term **<u>B</u>** Loans so prepaid or repaid or, in the case of clause (ii), that are the subject of such Repricing Transaction and that are required to be assigned by any Initial Term **<u>B</u>** Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(b) as a result of, or in connection with, such Initial Term **<u>B</u>** Lender not agreeing or otherwise consenting to such amendment, waiver, consent or other modification. All such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless otherwise indicated herein, all computations of accruing fees shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and shall be payable for the actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Each determination by the Administrative Agent of the amount of any fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event that any Compliance Certificate delivered under Section 5.01(c) shall prove to have been materially inaccurate, and such inaccuracy shall have resulted in the payment of any interest or fees with respect to Loans or Commitments of any Class at rates lower than those that were in fact applicable for any period (based on the actual First Lien Leverage Ratio), then, if such inaccuracy is discovered prior to the repayment in full of the principal of all Loans and the termination of all Commitments of such Class, (i) if the determination of such inaccuracy shall have been made by the Company, the Company shall, promptly after such determination, notify the Administrative Agent in writing thereof and (ii) the Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, promptly upon written demand (and in no event later than five Business Days after written demand) by the Administrative Agent, for distribution to the Lenders of such Class as their interests may appear, any additional interest or fees that should have been paid but were not paid as a result of such inaccuracy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any such additional interest or fees hereunder shall not be due and payable until written demand is made for such payment pursuant to this Section 2.11(g) and accordingly, any nonpayment of such interest or fees as a result of any such inaccuracy shall not constitute a Default (whether retroactively or otherwise), and no such amounts shall be deemed overdue (and no such amounts shall accrue default interest pursuant to Section 2.12(e)), at any time prior to the date that is five Business Days following such written demand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;subjects any Lender or Issuing Bank to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Excluded Taxes or (C) Other Taxes) on or with respect to its loans, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;imposes on any Lender or Issuing Bank that, in each case, is a Regulated Bank any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Term Benchmark Loans made by any Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the relevant Lender of making or maintaining any Term Benchmark Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), as applicable, or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any Term Benchmark Loan or Letter of Credit in an amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing Bank to be material, then, within 30 days after the Company's receipt of the certificate contemplated by Section 2.14(c), the Company will pay (or cause to be paid) to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; <u>provided</u> that no Borrower shall be liable for such compensation if (A) the relevant Change in Law occurs on a date prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto, (B) such Lender invokes Section 2.19 or (C) in the case of any request for reimbursement under clause (iii) above, the relevant circumstances do not generally affect the banking market or the applicable request has not been made by Lenders constituting Required Revolving Lenders.

The Company shall pay (or cause to be paid) to such Lender or Issuing Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or Issuing Bank's right to demand such compensation; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that no Borrower shall be required to compensate any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.14 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's or Issuing Bank's intention to claim compensation therefor; <u>provided</u> <u>further</u> that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.15.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Break Funding Payments</u>. Subject to Section 9.05(f), in the event of (a) the conversion or prepayment of any principal of any EURIBOR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration or otherwise), (b) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any EURIBOR Loan on the date or in the amount specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (other than the failure to borrow any EURIBOR Loans to be made in connection with any acquisition or Investment, (x) notice of which was conditioned upon the closing of such acquisition or Investment and (y) which acquisition or Investment did not close on or prior to the date of such Borrowing) or (c) the assignment of any EURIBOR Loan of any Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 2.18(b)(v) or 2.18(b)(vii), then, in any such event, the Company shall compensate (or cause to be compensated) each Revolving Lender for the actual out-of-pocket loss, cost

and/or liability (including any loss, cost or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Revolving Lender to fund EURIBOR Loans) incurred by such Revolving Lender that is attributable to such event, it being understood that such loss, cost or liability shall in any case exclude any interest rate floor, any credit spread adjustment, any loss of anticipated profit and all administrative, processing or similar fees. Any Revolving Lender requesting compensation under this Section 2.15 shall be required to deliver a certificate to the Company that (i) sets forth any amount or amounts that such Revolving Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section, the basis therefor and, in reasonable detail, the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined and (ii) certifies that such Revolving Lender is generally charging the relevant amounts to similarly situated borrowers, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay (or cause to be paid) to such Revolving Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.16.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Taxes</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower or other Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, 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, the amount payable by the applicable Borrower or other Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions or withholdings have been made (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) each Lender (or, in the case of any payment made to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Borrowers and other Loan Parties shall pay any Other Taxes (without duplication of any amounts paid under Section 2.16(a)) to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Borrowers and other Loan Parties shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender within 30 days after receipt of the certificate described in the succeeding sentence, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16), other than any penalties determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (or documented in any settlement agreement) to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and, in each case, any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not correctly or legally imposed or asserted; <u>provided</u> that if the Company reasonably believes that such Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to obtain a refund of such Taxes (which shall be repaid to the applicable Borrower or other Loan Party in accordance with Section 2.16(h)) so long as such efforts would not, in the sole determination of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, result in any additional out-of-pocket costs or expenses not reimbursed by such Borrower or other Loan Party or be otherwise materially disadvantageous to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable. In connection with any request for indemnification by the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Section 2.16(c), the relevant Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall deliver a certificate to the Company

------

setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis and calculation of the amount of the relevant payment or liability for which indemnification is being requested. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.16, the Borrowers and other Loan Parties shall not be required to indemnify the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16 for any amount to the extent the Administrative Agent or such Lender fails to notify the Company of such possible indemnification claim within 180 days after the Administrative Agent or such Lender receives written notice from the applicable taxing authority of the specific tax assessment giving rise to such indemnification claim.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 30 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment under any Loan Document that is attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that no Borrower or other Loan Party has already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers and other Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.05(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes that are attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to any Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.16(d).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As soon as practicable after any payment of any Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.16 by any Borrower or other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued, if any, by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any withholding Tax with respect to any payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation as the Company or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Company and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.16(f).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

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 documentation (including any specific documentation required above in this Section 2.16(f)) it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.16(f), no Lender shall be required to provide any documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

and in each case, such U.K. Borrower has notified that Lender in writing of either clause (1) or (2) above, then such Lender and such U.K. Borrower shall co-operate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for such U.K. Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without withholding or deduction for Taxes imposed under the laws of the United Kingdom.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If a Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with Section 2.16(g)(ii), no U.K. Borrower shall make a Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of such Lender's Commitment(s) or its participation in any Loan unless such Lender otherwise agrees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Lender shall notify the Company and the Administrative Agent if it determines in its sole discretion that it is ceases to be entitled to claim the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United Kingdom is a party with respect to payments made by any U.K. Borrower hereunder.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.16(g), no Lender shall be required to provide any documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.16(h), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to any Borrower or other Loan Party pursuant to this Section 2.16(h) to the extent that the payment thereof would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the position that the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.16 shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any

other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the relevant Borrower or other Loan Party or any other Person.

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, any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

On or before the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent shall (and any successor or replacement Administrative Agent shall on or before the date on which it becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder) deliver to the Company two duly executed copies of either (i) IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) or (ii) IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form) (with respect to any payments to be received on its own behalf) and IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor form) (for all other payments), establishing that the Borrowers and other Loan Parties can make payments to the Administrative Agent without deduction or withholding of any Taxes imposed by the United States, including Taxes imposed under FATCA.

SECTION 2.17.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Payments</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless otherwise specified, each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, reimbursements of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amount 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. Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated**<u>specified</u>** by the Administrative Agent **<u>in the Administrative Questionnaire delivered</u>** to the Company, except that any payment made pursuant to Section 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 or 9.03 shall be made directly to the Person or Persons entitled thereto and any payment required to be made directly to any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender shall be so made. 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. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender's portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender's percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole unit of the applicable currency. All payments hereunder of principal or interest in respect of any Loan or LC Disbursement shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be made in the currency of such Loan or LC Disbursement; all other payments hereunder and under each other Loan Document shall be made in U.S. Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the date and time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject in all respects to the provisions of each applicable Intercreditor Agreement, all proceeds of Collateral and any proceeds realized with respect to any Loan Guaranties received by the Administrative Agent while an Event of Default exists and all or any portion of the Loans have been accelerated hereunder pursuant to Section 7.01, shall be applied, <u>first</u>, to the payment of all

------

costs and expenses then due incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any collection, sale or realization on Collateral or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document on behalf of any Borrower or other Loan Party and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document, <u>second</u>, on a pro rata basis, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent (other than those covered in clause first above) or to any Issuing Bank or Lender from any Borrower constituting Secured Obligations, <u>third</u>, on a pro rata basis, to pay interest due and payable in respect of the Loans and any other Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has yet been made), which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include periodic payments then due in respect of any Secured Hedging Obligations, owed to the Secured Parties on the date of any such distribution, <u>fourth</u>, on a pro rata basis, to (i) payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unreimbursed LC Disbursements, <u>provided</u> that if any Letter of Credit expires undrawn, then any Cash collateral held to secure the related LC Exposure shall be applied in accordance with this Section 2.17(b), beginning with clause first above, and (ii) (A) payment of the portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal on the Loans and**<u>,</u>** (B**<u>iii</u>**) payment of breakage, termination and other amounts then due and owing in respect of any Secured Hedging Obligations, <u>fifth</u>, to the **<u>and (iv)</u>** payment of any other Secured Obligation due to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender (or any Affiliate thereof) by any Borrower, <u>sixth</u>**<u>any Secured Party, fifth</u>**, as provided in each applicable Intercreditor Agreement and seventh**<u>sixth</u>**, to, or at the direction of, the Company or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Any proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent while no Event of Default exists and no portion of the Loans have been accelerated hereunder shall be paid to, or at the direction of, the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If any Lender obtains payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff or otherwise) in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans of any Class or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans held by it resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans of such Class or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender with Loans of such Class or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for Cash at face value) participations in the Loans of such Class of the other Lenders or sub-participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans of the other Lenders at such time outstanding to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders of each applicable Class ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans of such Class and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; <u>provided</u> that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.17(c) shall not apply to (A) any payment made by any Loan Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (for the avoidance of doubt, in each case as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), including any payment made or deemed made in connection with Sections 1.08, 2.17(b), 2.18(b), 2.19, 2.20, 2.21, 2.22, 9.02(c) and/or 9.05, or (B) any payment obtained by any Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or any of its participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans to any permitted assignee or participant. Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise rights of setoff and counterclaim against the applicable Borrowers with respect to such

------

participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the applicable Borrowers in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.17(c) and will, in each case, notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. For purposes of clause (c) of the definition of "Excluded Taxes", any Lender that acquires a participation pursuant to this Section 2.17(c) shall be treated as having acquired such participation on the earlier date(s) on which such Lender acquired the applicable interest(s) in the Commitment(s) and/or Loan(s) to which such participation relates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender or any Issuing Bank hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or 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 Overnight Rate.

SECTION 2.18.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If (i) any Lender or Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender gives notice pursuant to Section 2.19 or (iii) any Borrower or other Loan Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or Issuing Bank or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender or Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending or issuing office for funding, booking or issuing its Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder or its participation in any Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan affected by such event, or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or Issuing Bank, such designation or assignment (A) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as applicable, in the future or mitigate the impact of Section 2.19, as the case may be, and (B) would not subject such Lender or Issuing Bank to any unreimbursed out-of-pocket cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or Issuing Bank from economic, legal or regulatory perspective in any material respect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender gives notice pursuant to Section 2.19, (iii) any Borrower or other Loan Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, (iv) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (v) in connection with any Extension/Modification Offer, any Lender is a Non-Extending/Modifying Lender, (vi) any Lender (or any Participant in respect of any Lender) is a Disqualified Institution or a Disqualified Person (solely for this purpose, in each case, whether or not it was such at the time it acquired any Commitment or Loan (or any participation therein) subject to the assignment and delegation pursuant to this Section 2.18(b)) or (vii) in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification requiring the consent of "each Lender", "each Revolving Lender" or "each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby" (or any other Class or group of Lenders other than the Required Lenders) with respect to which the consent of the Required Lenders or the Required Revolving Lenders (or the consent of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of such Class or lesser group representing more than 50% of the sum of the total Outstanding Amount of Loans and unused Commitments of such Class or lesser group at such time) has been obtained, as

applicable, any Lender does not provide its consent thereto, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate all the Commitments of such Lender and repay (or cause to be repaid) all the outstanding Loans of such Lender and, if applicable, funded participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it under any Loan Document (or terminate the Commitment of such Lender of the applicable Class or Classes and repay (or cause to be repaid) all the outstanding Loans of such Lender of the applicable Class or Classes and, if applicable, funded participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it under any Loan Document to the extent the foregoing amounts relate to its interest as a Lender of the applicable Class or Classes), in each case, without any obligation to terminate any Commitment or pay or prepay (or cause to be paid or prepaid) any Loan or any other amount of any other Lender, or (B) replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to assign and delegate (and such Lender shall be obligated to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.05), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (or all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement as a Lender of the applicable Class or Classes), other than its existing rights to payment pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if any Lender accepts such assignment and delegation); <u>provided</u> that (1) subject to, in the case of any Lender that is a Disqualified Person, Section 9.05(f)(ii), such Lender has received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of its Loans and, if applicable, funded participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it under any Loan Document (if applicable, in each case, only to the extent the foregoing amounts relate to its interest as a Lender of the applicable Class or Classes), (2) in the case of any assignment and delegation resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payment required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment and delegation would result in a reduction in such compensation or payment and (3) such assignment and delegation does not conflict with applicable law. No Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender, a Disqualified Institution or a Disqualified Person) shall be required to make any such assignment and delegation, and the Company may not repay (or cause to be repaid) the Obligations of such Lender or terminate its Commitments, in each case, if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each Lender agrees that if it is required to assign and delegate any of its rights or obligations pursuant to this Section 2.18(b) or Section 9.05(f)(ii), it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement to evidence such assignment and delegation and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Promissory Note (if the assigning Lender's Loans are evidenced by one or more Promissory Notes) subject to such Assignment Agreement (<u>provided</u> that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.05, the failure of such Lender to execute an Assignment Agreement or deliver any such Promissory Note shall not render such assignment and delegation (and the corresponding sale and purchase) invalid), and any such assignment and delegation shall be recorded in the Register and any such Promissory Note shall be deemed cancelled. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Lender's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Lender and in the name of such Lender, from time to time in the Administrative Agent's discretion, with prior written notice to such Lender, to take any action and to execute any such Assignment Agreement or other instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Section 2.18(b) or Section 9.05(f)(ii).

SECTION 2.19.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Illegality</u>. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Term SOFR, the EURIBO Rate or the Term CORRA, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Term SOFR, the EURIBO Rate or the

------

Term CORRA or, in the case of EURIBOR Loans, any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of the applicable currency in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Company through the Administrative Agent, (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Term SOFR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or Term CORRA Loans or, in the case of Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, to convert ABR**<u>any</u>** Loans to Term SOFR Loans or, in the case of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, to convert Canadian Prime Rate Loans to Term CORRA Loans, as applicable, shall be suspended and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality for such Lender to make or maintain ABR Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Term SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate, the interest rate on such ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate, in each case, until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist (which notice such Lender agrees to give promptly). Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the applicable Borrowers shall, upon demand from the relevant Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), (A) in the case of Term SOFR Loans, prepay or convert, as elected by the applicable Borrower, all of such Lender's Term SOFR Loans to ABR Loans (the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate),**<u>Daily Simple SOFR Loans,</u>** (B) in the case of EURIBOR Loans, prepay all of such Lender's EURIBOR Loans or, at the election of the applicable Borrower, all of such Lender's EURIBOR Loans, solely for the purpose of calculating the rate of interest applicable to such EURIBOR Loans, shall be deemed to be Term Benchmark Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same rate of interest as would be applicable to a Term Benchmark Borrowing of the applicable Class denominated in U.S. Dollars at such time (assuming consecutive Interest Periods of one month's duration, with the first such Interest Period commencing on the date set forth below) and (C) in the case of Term CORRA Loans, prepay or convert, as elected by the applicable Borrower, all of such Lender's Term CORRA Loans to Canadian Prime Rate Loans, in each case, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or Term CORRA Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or Term CORRA Loans (in which case the Borrowers shall not be required to make payments pursuant to Section 2.15 in connection with such payment) and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Term SOFR component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Term SOFR (which notice such Lender agrees to give promptly). Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

SECTION 2.20.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Defaulting Lenders</u>. 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded**<u>unused</u>** portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a);

and, in the case of any Defaulting Lender that is the**<u>a</u>** Swingline Lender, other than the portion of the Swingline Exposure referred to in clause (b) of the definition of such term) and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender (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 2.05(d) and 2.05(e)) shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Revolving Credit Percentages but only to the extent that (A) the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures of all Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders attributable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class does not exceed the total of the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders of such Class and (B) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Revolving Lender that is attributable to its Revolving Credit Commitment of any Class does not exceed such Non-Defaulting Revolving Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, within two Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent or the relevant Issuing Bank, (A) <u>first</u>, the Borrowers shall prepay the portion of such Defaulting Lender's Swingline Exposure (other than any portion thereof referred to in the first parenthetical in clause (i) above) that has not been reallocated as set forth in such clause and (B) <u>second</u>, the Company shall cash collateralize (or cause to be cash collateralized) for the benefit of the relevant Issuing Banks only the Borrowers' obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender's LC Exposure (other than any portion thereof referred to in the second parenthetical in clause (i) above) that has not been reallocated in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if any portion of such Defaulting Lender's LC Exposure is cash collateralized pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any participation fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b) with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender's LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender's LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if the LC Exposure of any Defaulting Lender is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Revolving Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and 2.11(b) shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;so long as such Lender (if a Revolving Lender) is a Defaulting Lender, the**<u>no</u>** Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue or increase any Letter of Credit unless, in each case, it is satisfied that the related exposure and such Defaulting Lender's then-outstanding Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure, as applicable, will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders and/or that the related exposure has been cash collateralized in accordance with Section 2.20(d) to its

satisfaction, and participating interests in any newly funded Swingline Loan or in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among the Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(d)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

In the event that each of the Administrative Agent, the Company and, in the case of a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, the Swingline Lender**<u>Lenders</u>** and the Issuing Banks agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then any such Defaulting Lender shall cease to be such and, if such Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Lender, the Applicable Revolving Credit Percentages of the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Revolving Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment, and on such date such Revolving Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the applicable Class and such of the funded participations in Swingline Loans and LC Disbursements of the other Revolving Lenders as the Administrative Agent determines is necessary in order for such Revolving Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Class and such participations in accordance with its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage. Notwithstanding the fact that any Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, (i) no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender (and such Lender shall not be entitled to receive any fees that were not paid to it during the period it was a Defaulting Lender in accordance with the foregoing provisions), (ii) all waivers, amendments and modifications effected without its consent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.20 and Section 9.02 during the period it was a Defaulting Lender shall be binding on it and (iii) except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender's having been a Defaulting Lender.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, solely with respect to the matters identified on <u>Schedule 5.14</u>, the satisfaction by the Loan Parties of the foregoing conditions shall not be required on the Closing Date, and shall not be a condition to the making of the Initial Term Loans or the Initial Revolving Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit on the Closing Date, but shall be required to be accomplished in accordance with Section 5.14. Immediately after the effective time of the Merger on the Closing Date, SpinCo, in its capacity as the surviving entity in the Merger, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a reaffirmation agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, reaffirming its assumption of all the rights, obligations and liabilities of Historical Amentum under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may not (and the Lenders shall not request the Administrative Agent to) exercise any rights or remedies provided under the Loan Documents or at law or

equity with respect to any Event of Default if (a) the event giving rise to such Event of Default was disclosed to the Administrative Agent in a notice delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(d) and (b) two years have passed since the date of such notice; <u>provided</u> that such limitation shall not apply if the Administrative Agent has commenced any remedial action in respect of such Event of Default prior to the end of such two-year period.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent hereby acknowledge and agree that a restatement of any financial statements or a change or recasting of any calculation set forth in any Compliance Certificate shall not result in a Default or Event of Default hereunder (whether pursuant to Section 7.01(d) as it relates to a representation made with respect to such financial statements (including any interim unaudited financial statements) or such Compliance Certificate or pursuant to Section 7.01(c) as it relates to delivery requirements for financial statements or Compliance Certificates pursuant to Section 5.01) to the extent that, as applicable, (i) such restatement does not reveal any material adverse difference in the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the previously reported information from actual results reflected in such financial statements as so restated for any relevant prior period or (ii) such change or recasting of any calculation in such Compliance Certificate would be permitted by the definition of such term.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any Default or Event of Default, the words "exists", "is continuing" or similar expressions with respect thereto shall mean that such Default or Event of Default has occurred and has not yet been cured or waived. If any Default or Event of Default occurs due to (i) the failure by any Loan Party to take any action by a specified time (including pursuant to Section 5.01(d)), such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have been cured at the time, if any, that the applicable Loan Party takes such action or (ii) the taking of any action by any Loan Party that is not then permitted by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to be cured on the earlier to occur of (x) the date on which such action would be permitted at such time to be taken under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (y) the date on which such action is unwound or otherwise modified to the extent necessary for such revised action to be permitted at such time by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If any Default or Event of Default occurs that is subsequently cured (a "<u>Cured Default</u>"), any other Default or Event of Default resulting from the making or deemed making of any representation or warranty by any Loan Party or the taking of any action by any Loan Party or any subsidiary of any Loan Party, in each case which subsequent Default or Event of Default would not have arisen had the Cured Default not occurred, shall be deemed to be cured automatically upon, and simultaneous with, the cure of the Cured Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, an Event of Default (the "<u>Initial Default</u>") may not be cured pursuant to this paragraph:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) if the taking of any action by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is not permitted during, and as a result of, the continuance of such Initial Default directly results in the cure of such Initial Default and the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary had actual knowledge at the time of taking any such action that the Initial Default had occurred and was continuing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) in the case of an Event of Default under Section 7.01(k) that directly results in material impairment of the rights and remedies of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and such material impairment is incapable of being cured; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) (1) in the case of an Event of Default under Section 7.01(c) arising due to a failure to deliver a notice of default in accordance with Section 5.01(d) or (2) in the case of an Initial Default for which the Company failed to give notice of such Initial Default in accordance with Section 5.01(d) and, in each case, a Responsible Officer of the Company had actual knowledge of such failure to give such notice

------

and reasonably should have known in the course of his or her duties that the failure to provide such notice would constitute an Event of Default.

ARTICLE 8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (or any successor appointed pursuant hereto) as Administrative Agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, 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.

Any 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 terms "Lender", "Lenders", "Issuing Bank" and "Issuing Banks" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless such Person is in fact not a Lender or an Issuing Bank, include each Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party or any subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. The Lenders and the Issuing Banks acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. 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 or an Event of Default exists, and the use of the term "agent" herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law; it being understood that such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers that are expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents (including in connection with any transaction contemplated by Section 2.20, 2.22 or 9.02(c) or any incurrence of any Indebtedness permitted under Section 6.01(e), 6.01(m), 6.01(o), 6.01(p), 6.01(q)(i), 6.01(r), 6.01(t), 6.01(v) or 6.01(w) or any Liens permitted under Section 6.02(k), 6.02(o), 6.02(s), 6.02(t), 6.02(u) or 6.02(dd), including as to the determination of the terms and conditions of, and the execution and delivery of, any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement) and which the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders or the Required Revolving Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent believes in good faith shall be necessary, under the relevant circumstances as provided in Section 9.02); <u>provided</u> that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, and (c) 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 Company or any of its subsidiaries or other Affiliates 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 to the Lenders or any other Secured Party for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or the Required Revolving Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent believes in good faith shall be necessary, under the relevant circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of a court of competent jurisdiction having found, in a final and non-appealable judgment, that in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent acted (or failed to act) with its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not have any Liability, on any theory of liability, to the Lenders or any other Secured Party for, or be responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by any Lender or any other Secured Party as a result of, any determination of the Effective Yield or the terms and conditions of any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a "notice of default") is given to the Administrative Agent by the Company or any Lender, 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 any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any covenant, agreement or other term or condition set forth in any Loan Document on the part of any other Person or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien on the Collateral or the existence, value or sufficiency of the Collateral or to assure that the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document have been or will continue to be properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items (and which on their face purport to be such items) expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or to be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or (vii) any property, book or record of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, the Company, the Borrowing Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party agree that (a) no Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent (or its sub-agents)) shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Loan Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that any right to realize upon the Collateral or enforce any Loan Guaranty against any Loan Party pursuant hereto or pursuant to any other Loan Document may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent (or its sub-agents) on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, and (b) in the event of a foreclosure or realization by the Administrative Agent (or its sub-agents) on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or in the event of any other Disposition (including pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code), (i) the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale or other Disposition, to use and apply all or any portion of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale or other Disposition and (ii) the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of all or any portion of such Collateral at any such sale or other Disposition. Each Secured Party agrees that the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion, but is under no obligation to credit bid any part of the Secured Obligations or to purchase or retain or acquire any portion of the Collateral.

------

No holder of any Secured Hedging Obligation, Banking Services Obligation or Ancillary Services Obligation in its capacity as such shall have any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party or Borrowing Subsidiary under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding with respect to any Loan Party or Borrowing Subsidiary, each Secured Party agrees that the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or LC Disbursement is then due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent has made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans or LC Disbursements 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 for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts to the extent due to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.11 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same.

Any custodian, receiver, receiver and manager, assignee, trustee, monitor, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent consents to the making of such payments directly to any Secured Party, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amount due to the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.11 and 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 Secured Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Secured Obligations or the rights of any Secured Party or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Secured Party in any such proceeding.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) that it believes to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability arising from, or be responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered on account of, (a) any confirmation of the Revolving Credit Exposure, the component amounts thereof or any Exchange Rate or U.S. Dollar Equivalent or (b) any determination that any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or the effective date of such status, it being further understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation

------

to determine whether any Lender is a Defaulting Lender. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the applicable Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent has received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or such issuance, amendment or extension of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company or any other Loan Party), 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 by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article 8 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 the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 10 days' prior written notice to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Company; <u>provided</u> that if no successor agent is appointed in accordance with the terms set forth below within such 10-day period, the Administrative Agent's resignation shall not be effective until the earlier to occur of (x) the date of the appointment of the successor agent or (y) the date that is 20 days after the last day of such 10-day period. If the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, either the Required Lenders or the Company may, upon 10 days' prior written notice, remove the Administrative Agent; <u>provided</u> that if no successor agent is appointed in accordance with the terms set forth below within such 10-day period, the Administrative Agent's removal shall, at the option of the Company, not be effective until the earlier to occur of (x) the date of the appointment of the successor agent or (y) the date that is 20 days after the last day of such 10-day period. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or delivery of any such notice of removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a commercial bank or trust company with offices in the U.S. having combined capital and surplus in excess of US$1,000,000,000; <u>provided</u> that during the existence and continuation of an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a) or, solely with respect to any Borrower, Section 7.01(f) or 7.01(g), no consent of the Company shall be required. If no successor has been appointed as provided above, and accepted such appointment, prior to the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent as provided above, then (a) in the case of a retirement, 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 meeting the qualifications set forth above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the consent of the Company) or (b) in the case of a removal, the Company may, after consulting with the Required Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; <u>provided</u> that (x) in the case of a retirement, if the Administrative Agent notifies the Company, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment or (y) in the case of a removal, the Company notifies the Required Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then, in each case, such resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with the provisos to the first two sentences in this paragraph and (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral security held by the Administrative Agent in its

------

capacity as collateral agent for the Secured Parties for purposes of maintaining the perfection of the Lien on the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations required to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Bank directly (and each Lender and each Issuing Bank will cooperate with the Company to enable the Company to take such actions), until such time as the Required Lenders or the Company, as applicable, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, as provided above in this Article 8. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder as a successor Administrative Agent, the successor Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (other than its obligations under Section 9.13). The fees payable by the Company to any successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor Administrative Agent. After the Administrative Agent's resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article 8 and Section 9.03 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 action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the relevant Person was acting as Administrative Agent (including for this purpose holding any Collateral security following the retirement or removal of the Administrative Agent). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Disqualified Institution (nor any Affiliate thereof) may be appointed as a successor Administrative Agent.

Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges and agrees that (a) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility, (b) in participating as a Lender or an Issuing Bank, it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and in providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender or Issuing Bank, in each case in the ordinary course of business, and not for the purpose of investing in the general performance or operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, or for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument such as a security (and each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing, such as a claim under the federal or state securities law) and (c) it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or any Issuing Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or Borrowing Subsidiaries or any of their

------

respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Arrangers shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement, except in their respective capacities as the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or a Lender hereunder, as applicable.

Each Secured Party irrevocably authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) release (or confirm an automatic release of) any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document as provided in Section 9.22 and (ii) release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document in connection with enforcement of any rights or remedies in respect thereof under the Loan Documents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;release (or confirm an automatic release of) any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in Section 9.22;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is described in Sections 6.02(c), 6.02(d), 6.02(e), 6.02(f), 6.02(g), 6.02(h), 6.02(k) (to the extent the relevant Lien is of the type to which the Lien of the Administrative Agent is otherwise required to be subordinated under this clause (c) pursuant to any of the other exceptions to Section 6.02 that are expressly referred to in this clause (c)), 6.02(l), 6.02(m), 6.02(n), 6.02(o), 6.02(q), 6.02(r), 6.02(s)(i) or 6.02(s)(ii) (in each case of Section 6.02(s)(i) or 6.02(s)(ii), to the extent the relevant Lien is of the type to which the Lien of the Administrative Agent is otherwise required to be subordinated under this clause (c) pursuant to any of the other exceptions to Section 6.02 that are expressly referred to in this clause (c)), 6.02(t) (to the extent the relevant Lien is of the type to which the Lien of the Administrative Agent is otherwise required to be subordinated under this clause (c) pursuant to any of the other exceptions to Section 6.02 that are expressly referred to in this clause (c)), 6.02(u) (to the extent the relevant Lien is of the type to which the Lien of the Administrative Agent is otherwise required to be subordinated under this clause (c) pursuant to any of the other exceptions to Section 6.02 that are expressly referred to in this clause (c)), 6.02(x), 6.02(y), 6.02(z)(i), 6.02(bb), 6.02(cc), 6.02(dd), 6.02(ee), 6.02(ff), 6.02(gg) and/or 6.02(hh) (and any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of any thereof to the extent such Refinancing Indebtedness is permitted to be secured under Section 6.02(k)); <u>provided</u> that, in each case, the subordination of any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent shall only be required to the extent that the Lien of the Administrative Agent with respect to such property is required to be subordinated to the relevant Lien in accordance with the documentation governing the Indebtedness or obligations that is secured by such Lien; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;enter into any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement (or any amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification thereto permitted by Section 9.20) in respect of any Indebtedness, Banking Services Obligations, Ancillary Services Obligations or Hedging Obligations that, pursuant to the terms hereof, (i) is required or permitted to be subordinated in right of payment and/or (ii) is secured by Liens, and with respect to which, this Agreement contemplates an intercreditor, subordination or similar agreement or arrangement.

Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent's authority to release (or to confirm an automatic release of)

------

or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release (or to confirm an automatic release of) any Loan Party from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement or its Lien on any Collateral pursuant to this Article 8. In each case as specified in this Article 8, the Administrative Agent will (and each Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at the Company's expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the Lien granted under the Collateral Documents, to subordinate its interest therein, or to release such Loan Party from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Article 8; <u>provided</u> that upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Company shall deliver a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying that the relevant transaction has been consummated in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such certificate.

To the extent that the Administrative Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Company in accordance with and to the extent required by Section 9.03(b), the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any Related Party thereof) in proportion to their respective pro rata shares for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent (or any Related Party thereof) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; <u>provided</u> that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent's (or such Related Party's) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). For purposes of this Section, a Lender's "pro rata share" shall be determined (a) as if there were no Defaulting Lenders and (b) based upon its share of the sum of the Total Revolving Credit Exposures, unused Revolving Credit Commitments, outstanding Term Loans and unused Term Commitments, in each case, at the time (or most recently outstanding and in effect). In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any indemnified liabilities, this paragraph applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its pro rata share (determined as set forth above) of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including legal costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Company; <u>provided</u> that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Company's continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto; <u>provided</u> <u>further</u> that the failure of any Lender to indemnify or reimburse the Administrative Agent shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation in respect thereof. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive termination of the Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender or Issuing Bank that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender or Issuing Bank 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 "<u>Payment</u>") were erroneously transmitted to such Lender or Issuing Bank (whether or not known to such Lender or Issuing Bank), and demands the return of such Payment (or a

------

portion thereof), such Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or Issuing Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the Overnight Rate, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender or Issuing Bank 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 or Issuing Bank under this paragraph shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

Each Lender and each Issuing Bank 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 "<u>Payment Notice</u>") 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 and each Issuing Bank 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 or Issuing Bank 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 (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the Overnight Rate.

Each Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender or Issuing Bank that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender or Issuing Bank with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Borrower or any other Loan Party, except in each case, to the extent such erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from any Borrower or any other Loan Party.

Each party's obligations under the three immediately preceding paragraphs shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.

**<u>Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that there may be a constant flow of information (including information which may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor</u>** <u>of the Company and its subsidiaries</u>**<u>) between the Company and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and JPMorgan and its Affiliates, on the other hand. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company and its Affiliates may provide information, including updates to previously provided information to JPMorgan and its Affiliates acting in different capacities, including as Lender, lead bank, arranger</u>**

being a Lender party hereto, that none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

Each Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks by posting such Communications on an Approved Electronic Platform. The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks agree that the Borrowers may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Borrower Communications to the Administrative Agent through an Approved Borrower Portal.

Although each of the Approved Electronic Platform and the Approved Borrower Portal and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing**<u>First Amendment Effective</u>** Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrowers acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Administrative Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform or of any Loan Party that are added to the Approved Borrower Portal, and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrowers hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and of Borrower Communications through the Approved Borrower Portal and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.

**EACH OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM, THE COMMUNICATIONS AND THE APPROVED BORROWER PORTAL IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE BORROWER COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM OR THE APPROVED BORROWER PORTAL AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM, THE COMMUNICATIONS, THE APPROVED BORROWER PORTAL OR THE BORROWER COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS, THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM, THE BORROWER COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED BORROWER PORTAL. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ARRANGER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, "<u>APPLICABLE PARTIES</u>") HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY'S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE**

**APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM OR ANY LOAN PARTY'S TRANSMISSION OF BORROWER COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED BORROWER PORTAL, EXCEPT, SUBJECT TO SECTION 9.04, TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL AND NON-APPEALABLE RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED FROM SUCH PERSON'S (OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTY'S) GROSS NEGLIGENCE, BAD FAITH OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR MATERIAL BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.**

Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender or Issuing Bank for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees (a) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender's or Issuing Bank's (as applicable) email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (b) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.

Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrowers agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform and the Borrower Communications on the Approved Borrower Portal in accordance with the Administrative Agent's generally applicable document retention procedures and policies.

Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would

otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any party hereto therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same is permitted by this Section 9.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it is given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, neither the making of any Loan nor the issuance of any Letter of Credit shall be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Article 7 for the benefit of all the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (ii) each Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as an Issuing Bank or a Swingline Lender, as applicable) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (iii) any Lender or Issuing Bank from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.09 (subject to the terms of Section 2.17) or (iv) any Lender or Issuing Bank from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relating to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and <u>provided</u> <u>further</u> that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (A) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article 7 and (B) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the immediately preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.17, any Lender or Issuing Bank may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

<u>provided</u> that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause (A), it is understood that any waiver, amendment or modification of Section 2.21 (including Section 2.21(a)(v)) (and the definition of the term "Effective Yield" as used in such Section), or of any other "most favored nation" provision set forth in any Loan Document (and the defined terms relating thereto) may be effected pursuant to any agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Company and the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders);

The Company and the Borrowing Subsidiaries agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 (subject to the limitations and requirements of such Sections and Section 2.18) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.05(b) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.16(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender, and if additional amounts are required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.16(a) or 2.16(c), to the Company and the Administrative Agent); <u>provided</u> that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 than the participating Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company's prior written consent (in its sole discretion), expressly acknowledging that such Participant's entitlement to benefits under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 is not limited to what the participating Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the participation. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.09 as though it were a Lender; <u>provided</u> that such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.17(c) as though it were a Lender.

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 U.S. Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b) of the proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and each 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (other than to any Disqualified Institution, any natural person or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to any Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 9.05 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; <u>provided</u> that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release any Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No Lender, acting in its capacity as a Lender (or any Affiliate or other Person acting on such Lender's behalf), other than a Regulated Bank, may at any time enter into a total return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative instrument under which any Secured Obligation is a sole reference obligation (or a reference obligation constituting at least 5% of the weight in any bucket of such derivative instruments) with any counterparty that is a Disqualified Institution solely to the extent that under such swap or derivative instrument, such Disqualified Institution is granted voting rights in respect of any amendment, modification or waiver hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a "<u>Granting Lender</u>") may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an "<u>SPC</u>"), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Company, the option to provide to the applicable Borrower all or any part of any Loan that the Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; <u>provided</u> that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of any Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (A) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Company or any Borrowing Subsidiary under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16) and no SPC shall be entitled to any greater amount under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that the Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive, unless the grant to such SPC is made with the prior written consent of the Company (in its sole discretion), expressly acknowledging that such SPC's entitlement to benefits under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 is not limited to what the Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the grant to the SPC, (B) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender) and (C) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes including approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of the Loan Documents, remain the Lender of record hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the

------

termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the U.S. or any State thereof; <u>provided</u> that (1) such SPC's Granting Lender is in compliance in all material respects with its obligations to the Company and the applicable Borrowing Subsidiaries hereunder and (2) each Lender designating any SPC hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such SPC during such period of forbearance. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.05, any SPC may (x) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Company or the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loan to the Granting Lender and (y) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guaranty or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) If any assignment or participation under this Section 9.05 is made by any Lender without the Company's prior written consent (A) to any Disqualified Institution or (B) if the Company's consent is required under this Section 9.05 (and not deemed to have been given pursuant to Section 9.05(b)(i)(A)) for such assignment or participation, to any other Person, then the Company and the Borrowing Subsidiaries shall be entitled to seek specific performance to unwind any such assignment or participation in addition to injunctive relief (without posting a bond or presenting evidence of irreparable harm) or any other remedy available to the Company or any Borrowing Subsidiary at law or in equity; it being understood and agreed that the Company and its subsidiaries will suffer irreparable harm if any Lender breaches any obligation under this Section 9.05 as it relates to any assignment or participation to any Disqualified Institution or to any other Person where the Company's consent thereto is required but not obtained. Upon the request of any Lender, the Administrative Agent shall make the list of Disqualified Institutions available to such Lender at the relevant time and such Lender may provide the list of Disqualified Institutions to any potential assignee or participant or counterparty to any derivative instrument referred to in Section 9.05(d)(ii) on a confidential basis in accordance with Section 9.13 solely for the purpose of permitting such Person to verify whether such Person (or any Affiliate thereof) constitutes a Disqualified Institution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If any assignment or participation under this Section 9.05 is made by any Lender to any Disqualified Institution and/or any Affiliate of any Disqualified Institution (other than any Bona Fide Debt Fund that is not itself a Disqualified Institution) without the Company's prior written consent (any such Person, a "<u>Disqualified Person</u>"), then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Person and the Administrative Agent, (A) exercise its rights under Section 2.18(b) in respect of such Disqualified Person, <u>provided</u> that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.18(b), with respect to the outstanding principal amount of any Term Loans of any Class held by such Disqualified Person, such Disqualified Person shall only be entitled to receive the lesser of (x) par and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Person paid to acquire such Term Loans, <u>plus</u> accrued and unpaid interest thereon and (B) with respect to any Term Loans of any Class held by such Disqualified Person, purchase such Term Loans from such Disqualified Person (and such Disqualified Person shall be obligated to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 9.05), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Term Loans) by paying the lesser of (x) par and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Person paid to acquire such Term Loans, <u>plus</u> accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary

------

set forth herein, (1) no processing and recordation fee required under Section 9.05(b)(ii)(C) shall be required in connection with any assignment pursuant to this Section 9.05(f)(ii), (2) any Term Loan acquired by any Affiliated Lender pursuant to this Section 9.05(f)(ii) will not be included in calculating compliance with the Affiliated Lender Cap for a period of 90 days following the effectiveness of such assignment; <u>provided</u> that, to the extent the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders exceeds the Affiliated Lender Cap on the 91st day following the effectiveness of such assignment, then such excess amount shall either be (x) contributed to the Company or any of its subsidiaries and retired and cancelled immediately upon such contribution or (y) automatically cancelled, and (3) in no event shall such Disqualified Person be entitled to receive amounts set forth in Section 2.11(g), 2.12(e), 2.15 or 9.03. Each Lender acknowledges its agreements and appointments set forth in Section 2.18(b) with respect to this Section 9.05(f)(ii).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If any Disqualified Person shall have been identified by the Company to the Administrative Agent, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, such Disqualified Person (A) shall not be permitted to, and shall not, (x) attend (including by telephone) or participate in any meeting or discussion (or portion thereof) by or among any Borrower or any other Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or (y) receive any information or materials prepared by any Borrower or any other Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any communication by or among any Borrower or any other Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (in each case, other than the right to receive notices of borrowings, prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article 2), (B) (x) shall not for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders, the Required Revolving Lenders, the majority in interest of Lenders under any Class, each Lender or each directly and adversely affected Lender have (I) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, (II) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document or (III) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, have a right to consent (or not consent), otherwise act or direct or require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to take (or refrain from taking) any such action (and shall have no right to vote any of its Term Loans, Revolving Credit Exposures and unused Commitments); it being understood that for purposes of any such determination all Term Loans, Revolving Credit Exposures and unused Commitments held by any Disqualified Person shall be deemed to be not outstanding, and (y) shall be deemed to vote in the same proportion as Lenders that are neither Disqualified Persons nor Net Short Lenders in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law commenced by or against any Borrower or any other Loan Party and (C) shall not be entitled to receive the benefits of Section 2.11(g), 2.12(e), 2.15 or 9.03.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each of the Company, each Borrowing Subsidiary, each other Loan Party and the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that (x) the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility or obligation to determine whether any Lender or potential Lender is a Disqualified Person and the Administrative Agent shall have no liabilities with respect to any assignment or participation made to a Disqualified Person and (y) (I) the Administrative Agent will be permitted to make the list of Disqualified Institutions available (subject to the provisions of Section 9.13) to any Lender and (II) the list of Disqualified Institutions shall be permitted to be disclosed to any prospective assignee, participant and contractual counterparty to any Hedge Agreement (including any credit default swap) or similar

derivative product, in each case of the foregoing clauses (I) and (II), that specifically requests a copy thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nothing in this Section 9.05(f) shall be deemed to prejudice any right or remedy that the Company, any Borrowing Subsidiary or any other Loan Party may otherwise have at law or equity. It is understood that the provisions of Sections 9.05(f)(ii) and 9.05(f)(iii) shall not apply to any Person that is an assignee of any Disqualified Person, if such assignee is not a Disqualified Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (x) in respect of its Term Loans of any Class, to any Affiliated Lender or (y) in respect of its Loans or Commitments of any Class, to any Debt Fund Affiliate, in each case, on a non-pro rata basis (A) through Auctions open to all Lenders holding the Loans or Commitments of the applicable Class on a pro rata basis or (B) through open market or other purchases, in each case with respect to clauses (A) and (B), without the consent of the Administrative Agent; <u>provided</u> that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in the case of any such assignment to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, any Term Loans acquired by it shall be retired and cancelled immediately upon the acquisition thereof; it being agreed that upon any such retirement and cancellation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans of the applicable Class shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so retired and cancelled, and each scheduled amortization payment installment with respect to the Term Loans of the applicable Class pursuant to Section 2.09(a) shall be reduced on a pro rata basis by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so retired and cancelled;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the relevant Affiliated Lender or Debt Fund Affiliate and assigning Lender shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent (A) in the case of an Affiliated Lender, an Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption and (B) in the case of a Debt Fund Affiliate, an Assignment and Assumption;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in the case of any assignment to a Non-Debt Fund Affiliate, whether by its acquisition of Term Loans or otherwise, such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that:

The Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect any retirement and cancelation of the Term Loans retired and cancelled pursuant to this Section 9.05(g). Any payment made by the Company or any subsidiary in connection with an acquisition of Term Loans permitted by this Section 9.05(g) shall not be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17. Failure by the Company or any subsidiary to make any payment to a Lender required to be made in consideration of an acquisition of Term Loans permitted by this Section 9.05(g) shall not constitute a Default under Section 7.01.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Term Loans acquired by any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate or any Debt Fund Affiliate may (but shall not be required to) be contributed to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, <u>provided</u> that, in the case of any such contribution to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, such Term Loans shall be retired and cancelled immediately upon the contribution thereof, it being agreed that (i) upon any such retirement and cancellation, (A) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans of the applicable Class shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so retired and cancelled, and each scheduled amortization payment with respect to the Term Loans of the applicable Class pursuant to Section 2.09(a) shall be reduced on a pro rata basis by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so retired and cancelled, and (B) such contribution shall be treated as a capital contribution in respect of Qualified Capital Stock of the Company for purposes of clause (a)(iii) of the definition of "Available Amount" (it being understood that the fair market value of the Term Loans so contributed shall be as reasonably determined by the Company at the time of such contribution (and, in the Company's discretion, may be based on the purchase price for such Term Loans paid by such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate or such Debt Fund Affiliate), but net of the fair market value of any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary received by it in exchange therefor as contemplated by clause (ii) below) and (ii) in exchange for such contribution, such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate or Debt Fund Affiliate may receive Indebtedness (or, in the case of any Parent Company, Capital Stock) of any Parent Company, the Company or any of its subsidiaries that is otherwise permitted (or not prohibited) under this Agreement to be incurred or issued by such Person at such time. Each Non-Debt Fund Affiliate agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Company promptly (and in any event within 15 Business Days) if it acquires any Person that is also a Lender, and each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, from and after the Termination Date, each Letter of Credit (or, with respect to any Letter of Credit, from and after such other time prior to the Termination Date as may be agreed in writing by the applicable Issuing Bank, 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 2.05(d).

SECTION 9.07.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution</u>.

use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be; <u>provided</u> 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; <u>provided</u> <u>further</u> without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Administrative Agent and the Company have agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, each Borrower and each other Loan Party shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank, any Borrower or any other Loan Party 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 the Company, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party hereto (A) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties, Electronic Signatures transmitted by emailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page or any electronic images of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Ancillary Document shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, (B) agrees that each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties may, at its option, create one or more copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and 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 or any Ancillary Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document or such Ancillary Document, respectively, including with respect to any signature pages thereto, and (D) waives any claim against the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank, any Borrower or any other Loan Party for any Liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent's and/or any Lender's, Issuing Bank's, Borrower's or any other Loan Party's reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures or transmissions by 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 Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank, any Borrower or any other Loan Party to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.

SECTION 9.08.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Severability</u>. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any provision of any Loan Document 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 thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 9.09.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Right of Setoff</u>.

The Company and the Borrowing Subsidiaries acknowledge and agree, on behalf of themselves and the other Loan Parties and their respective subsidiaries, that each Borrower and other Loan Party has consulted its own legal, tax and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto.

(a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto (including each Borrowing Subsidiary) agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the "<u>Applicable Creditor</u>") shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the "<u>Judgment Currency</u>") other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the "<u>Agreement Currency</u>"), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss.

SECTION 9.24.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any of the parties hereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

------

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

SECTION 9.25.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs</u>. (a) To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, "<u>QFC Credit Support</u>" and each such QFC, a "<u>Supported QFC</u>"), the parties hereto acknowledge and agree as set forth in Section 9.25(b) with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the "<u>U.S. Special Resolution Regimes</u>") in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the U.S. or any other state of the U.S.).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a "<u>Covered Party</u>") becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the U.S. or a state of the U.S. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the U.S. or a state of the U.S. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the rights and remedies of the parties hereto with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

SECTION 9.26.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Permitted Reorganization Transaction</u>. At any time that a Permitted Parent shall beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50.0% of the Voting Stock of the Company, the Company may, in its sole discretion, by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect that such Permitted Parent succeed to, and be substituted for, the Company under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in its capacity as the "Company" (but not in its capacity as a Borrower hereunder) and that, in connection therewith, the Company assign and delegate to such Permitted Parent, and such Permitted Parent assume from the Company, all rights, obligations and liabilities of the Company in its capacity as the "Company" (but not in its capacity as a Borrower hereunder) under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and, in such notice, the Company may, in its sole discretion, further elect that such Permitted Parent be added as a "Borrower" for purposes of the Revolving Facilities (but not for

------

purposes of the Initial Term **<u>A Facility, the Initial Term B</u>** Facility or any other Term Facility that was established prior thereto, it being understood and agreed, however, that such Permitted Parent would be permitted to be a Borrower with respect to any Term Facility established thereafter)); <u>provided</u> that (a) such Permitted Parent shall be an entity organized or existing under the law of the U.S., any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (b) such Permitted Parent shall expressly assume all rights, obligations and liabilities of the Company in its capacity as the "Company" (but not in its capacity as a Borrower hereunder) under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (c) except as the Administrative Agent may otherwise agree, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall have executed and delivered a reaffirmation agreement with respect to its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (d) after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 9.26 (and, for the avoidance of doubt, after giving effect to such Permitted Parent becoming subject to the covenants set forth in Articles 5 and 6 and the Events of Default set forth in Article 7, in each case, as if the such Permitted Parent were the Company), no Default or Event of Default exists or would result therefrom, it being understood and agreed that if the requirements of clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) above are satisfied with respect to such Permitted Parent, (i) such Permitted Parent will become a party to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which "the Company" was then a party, (ii) such Permitted Parent will succeed to, and be substituted for, the Company under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and will have all the rights, obligations and liabilities of the Company, in each case, in its capacity as the "Company" (but not in its capacity as a Borrower hereunder) under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Company (as constituted immediately prior to the transactions contemplated by this Section 9.26) shall be released and discharged from, and shall cease to have rights or obligations under, in its capacity as the "Company" (but not in its capacity as a Borrower hereunder) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (iii) such Permitted Parent shall be deemed to be a "Successor Company" for purposes of clause (b) of the definition of the "Company".
