**PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS**

**WHEREAS**, reference is hereby made to that certain Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2018, as amended and restated as of February 14, 2024 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the "<u>Existing Credit Agreement</u>", and the Existing Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment, the "<u>Amended Credit Agreement</u>"), by and among the Borrower, Holdings, certain of its subsidiaries as the Guarantors party thereto, the Lenders party thereto from time to time (the "<u>Existing Lenders</u>") and the Agent.

**WHEREAS**, pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Existing Credit Agreement, the Borrower has requested, and the undersigned Refinancing Term Lenders together with the Agent, have agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Amended Credit Agreement, that (a) (i) a new Class of Refinancing Term Loans made to the Borrower and denominated in Dollars will be established having the terms set forth herein and in the Amended Credit Agreement (the "<u>Refinancing Term Loans</u>"), (ii) all Restatement Term Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) outstanding as of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date (as defined below) that are not Converted Restatement Term Loans (as defined below) (such Restatement Term Loans collectively being referred to as the "<u>Non-Converted Restatement Term Loans</u>") shall be prepaid in full, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, (iii) all accrued but unpaid interest on all Converted Restatement Term Loans will be paid in full and (iv) certain other terms of the Existing Credit Agreement will be amended as set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement and (b) the Obligors will reaffirm their respective obligations under the Loan Documents (the transactions described above, the "<u>Transactions</u>").

**WHEREAS**, the Borrower hereby requests that (a) the Person whose name is set forth on <u>Schedule I</u> hereto under the heading "Committed Refinancing Term Lender" (the "<u>Committed Refinancing Term Lender</u>") provide a Refinancing Term Commitment on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date in the amount set forth on such Schedule opposite its name (such Refinancing Term Commitment, with respect to such Committed Refinancing Term Lender, its "<u>Refinancing Term Commitment</u>"), in each case upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Amended Credit Agreement, and (b) each Existing Lender holding Restatement Term Loans whose name is set forth on <u>Schedule II</u> hereto under the heading "Converting Refinancing Term Lender" (the "<u>Converting Refinancing Term Lenders</u>" and, together with the Committed Refinancing Term Lender, the "<u>Refinancing Term Lenders</u>") provide a Refinancing Term Loan on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date by converting (on a cashless basis) the principal amount of its Restatement Term Loans set forth on such Schedule opposite its name (such Restatement Term Loans as set forth on such Schedule being collectively referred to as the "<u>Converted Restatement Term Loans</u>") into a Refinancing Term Loan in a like principal amount (the foregoing provisions of this clause (b) being referred to as the "<u>Conversion</u>"), in each case upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Amended Credit Agreement.

**WHEREAS**, the Refinancing Term Loans to be made by any Converting Refinancing Term Lender will be made solely through the Conversion, and the cash proceeds from Refinancing Term Loans, together with cash on hand, shall be used to prepay in full the aggregate principal amount of all Non-Converted Restatement Term Loans, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon outstanding as of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, to pay all accrued but unpaid interest on all Converted Restatement Term Loans and to pay all fees, costs and expenses incurred or payable by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with the Transactions (the "<u>Transaction Costs</u>").

**WHEREAS**, (a) the Committed Refinancing Term Lender has agreed to (i) provide its Refinancing Term Commitment to the Borrower in the amount set forth opposite its name on Schedule I hereto and (ii) make Refinancing Term Loans to the Borrower in respect thereof on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Amended Credit Agreement, and (b) each Converting Refinancing Term Lender has agreed to provide a Refinancing Term Loan on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date by converting (on a cashless basis) the principal amount of its Converted Restatement Term Loans set forth opposite its name on Schedule II hereto into a Refinancing Term Loan in a like principal amount pursuant to the Conversion, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Amended Credit Agreement.

**WHEREAS**, the Borrower, the Lenders party hereto and the Agent have agreed to certain other amendments to the terms of the Credit Agreement as set forth in this Amendment.

**WHEREAS,** (a) Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., Goldman Sachs Bank USA, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. and The Bank of Nova Scotia have been appointed to act, and have agreed to act, as joint bookrunners for this Amendment (in such capacity, each a "<u>Joint Bookrunner</u>"), (b) BofA Securities, Inc., Goldman Sachs Bank USA, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., MUFG Bank, Ltd., PNC Bank, National Association, Regions Capital Markets, a Division of Regions Bank, TD Securities (USA) LLC, The Bank of Nova Scotia, Truist Securities, Inc., State Bank of India, New York Branch and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC have been appointed to act, and have agreed to act, as joint lead arrangers for this Amendment (in such capacity, each a "<u>Joint Lead Arranger</u>") and (c) M&T Bank, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation and U.S. Bank National Association have been appointed to act, and have agreed to act, as co-arrangers for this Amendment (in such capacity, each a "<u>Co-Arranger</u>").

**NOW, THEREFORE**, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1. Defined Terms**. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein (including in the preamble and recitals hereto) shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Amended Credit Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2. Refinancing 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;**(b)** Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Amended Credit Agreement (including Section 2.1 thereof), the Borrower and each Converting Refinancing Term Lender agree that, on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, the aggregate principal amount of the Restatement Term Loans of such Converting Refinancing Term Lender set forth opposite its name on <u>Schedule II</u> hereto shall convert (on a cashless basis) into Refinancing Term Loans in a like principal amount (and, upon such conversion, such Restatement Term Loans shall cease to be outstanding as Restatement Term Loans under the Amended Credit Agreement), and shall continue to be in effect and outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement as a "Refinancing Term Loan" on the terms and conditions set forth therein. Each Converting Refinancing Term Lender agrees that the transactions contemplated by this Section 2(c) shall not be subject to Section 5.4 of the Existing Credit Agreement or Section 5.4 of the Amended Credit Agreement.

&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)** The terms of the Refinancing Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2(a) above shall be identical to those of the Refinancing Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2(b) above, and all such Term Loans shall constitute a single Class of Term Loans for all purposes of the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of the Refinancing Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

&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)** The cash proceeds of the Refinancing Term Loans shall be used, together with cash on hand, to prepay in full the principal amount of all Non-Converted Restatement Term Loans, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, outstanding as of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, to pay all accrued but unpaid interest on all Converted Restatement Term Loans and to pay the Transaction Costs.

&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)** The Refinancing Term Loans shall have the terms applicable to Restatement Term Loans under the Amended Credit Agreement. On and after the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, immediately after giving effect to the prepayment referenced in Section 2(d) above, unless the context shall otherwise require, (a) the Refinancing Term Loans shall be "Restatement Term Loans", "Refinancing Term Loans" and "Term Loans" under the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (b) each Committed Refinancing Term Lender and Converting Refinancing Term Lender shall (i) be a "Restatement Term Lender", a "Refinancing Term Lender" and a "Lender" under the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) shall be a party to the Amended Credit Agreement as a "Restatement Term Lender", a "Refinancing Term Lender" and a "Lender", (iii) shall have all rights and obligations of, and benefits accruing to, a "Restatement Term Lender", a "Refinancing Term Lender" and a "Lender" under the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (iv) shall be bound by all agreements, acknowledgments and other obligations of a "Restatement Term Lender", a "Refinancing Term Lender" and a "Lender" under the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

The Refinancing Term Loans arising from the Conversion shall not be required to be funded in accordance with such Section 2.1(c) and shall instead be funded solely by the conversion of the Restatement Term Loans pursuant to Section 2(c) above. On the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, the Refinancing Term Loans shall be of such Type, and, in the case of Term SOFR Term Loans, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Amended Credit Agreement, shall have such initial Interest Period as shall be specified therefor in the Funding Notice delivered under Section 5(d) below.

&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)** Unless previously terminated, the Refinancing Term Commitments shall expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the Amendment No. 1 Effective 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;**(h)** This Amendment shall be deemed to satisfy any requirement to deliver a Refinancing Term Loan Request pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Existing Credit Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3. Amendment.**

&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)** Effective as of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the language indicated in double-underlined text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following examples: <u>double-underlined text</u> or <u>double-underlined text</u>) in **<u>Exhibit A</u>** hereto and by deleting the language indicated by strikethrough text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: stricken text or stricken text) in **<u>Exhibit A</u>**.

Accordingly, they shall not be construed against the Lenders or the Agent merely because of the Agent's or Lenders' involvement in their preparation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition <u>Transaction</u>, for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default, Event of Default or Specified Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such condition shall, at the option of the Borrower, be deemed satisfied, so long as no Default, Event of Default or Specified Default, as applicable, exists on the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition <u>Transaction</u> are entered into. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has exercised its option under the first sentence of this <u>clause (k)</u>, and any Default or Event of Default occurs following the date the definitive agreements for the applicable Limited Condition <u>Transaction</u> were entered into and prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition <u>Transaction</u>, any such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition <u>Transaction</u> is permitted hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition <u>Transaction</u>, for purposes of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Senior Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio or Total Indebtedness Leverage Ratio; or

in each case, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower's election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an "<u>LCT Election</u>"), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (the "<u>LCT Test Date</u>"), and if, after giving *pro forma* effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters ending prior to the LCT Test Date for which consolidated financial statements of the Borrower are available, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.4 <u>Classification of Term Loans</u>. For purposes of this Agreement, Term Loans may be classified and referred to by Class (<u>e.g.</u>, an "Initial Term Loan", "Restatement Term Loan", "Incremental Term Loan", "Extended Term Loan" or "Refinancing Term Loan") or by Type (<u>e.g.</u>, a "Term SOFR Term Loan" or "Base Rate Term Loan").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.5 <u>Effectuation of Transactions</u>. Each of the representations and warranties of Holdings and the other Obligors contained in this Agreement (and all corresponding definitions) are made after giving effect to the Transactions (or such portion thereof as shall be consummated as of the date of the applicable representation or warranty), unless the context otherwise requires.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.6 <u>Currency</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) All fees and amounts payable hereunder and all calculations hereunder shall all be calculated in Dollars.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Where the permissibility of a transaction or a representation, warranty or covenant depends upon compliance with, or is determined by reference to, amounts stated in Dollars, any amount stated in another currency shall be translated to the equivalent amount in Dollars at the applicable time of determination hereunder and the permissibility of actions taken by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary hereunder shall not be affected by subsequent fluctuations in exchange rates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.7 <u>Pro Forma Calculations</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Any financial ratio or test or compliance with any covenants determined by reference to Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Net Income, Consolidated Net Tangible Assets or any component definition thereof shall be calculated in a manner prescribed by this <u>Section 1.7</u>. In addition, whenever a financial ratio or test is to be calculated on a *pro forma* basis, the reference to the applicable period for purposes of calculating such financial ratio or test shall be deemed to be a reference to, and shall be based on, the most recently ended period for which the financial statements of the Consolidated Parties are available (as determined in good faith by the Borrower).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) For purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement, including the determination of any financial ratio or test, any Specified Transaction that has occurred (i) during the applicable period or (ii) subsequent to such period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the determination of any such ratio, test or compliance with covenants is being made shall be determined on a *pro forma* basis (including giving effect to those specified in accordance with the definitions of "Consolidated EBITDA" and "Consolidated Net Income" and any component definitions thereof) assuming that all such Specified Transactions (including such Specified Transaction for which such compliance is being determined) had occurred on the first day of the applicable period. If since the beginning of any applicable period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into an Obligor or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this <u>Section 1.7</u>, then for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement, including the determination of any financial ratio or test, such Specified Transactions shall be calculated to give *pro forma* effect thereto in accordance with this <u>Section 1.7</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) In the event that (x) any Obligor or Restricted Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or guarantee) or repays or refinances (including by redemption, repayment, retirement, discharge, defeasance or extinguishment) any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and not replaced) or (y) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary issues, repurchases or redeems Disqualified Stock, (i) during the applicable period or (ii) subsequent to the end of the applicable period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio or test is made or compliance with any covenant is determined, then such financial ratio or test or determination of compliance shall be calculated giving *pro forma* effect to such incurrence or repayment or refinancing of Indebtedness, or such issuance, repurchase or redemption of Disqualified Stock, in each case to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable period (except that, in making such computation, the amount of Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period during the period from the date of creation of such facility to the date of such calculation);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given *pro forma* effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any interest hedging arrangements applicable to such Indebtedness); <u>provided</u>, in the case of repayment of any Indebtedness, to the extent actual interest related thereto was included during all or any portion of the applicable period, the actual interest may be used for the applicable portion of such period. Interest on a Capital Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capital Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, Term SOFR or other rate, shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary may designate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Whenever *pro forma* effect is to be given to any Specified Transaction, the *pro forma* calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.8 <u>Interest Rates</u>. The Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall the Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to any reference rate referred to herein or with respect to any rate (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the selection of such rate and any related spread or other adjustment) that is an alternative or replacement for or successor to any such rate (including, without limitation, any Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing) or the effect of any of the foregoing, or of any Conforming Changes. The Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions or other activities that affect any reference rate referred to herein, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including, without limitation, any Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing) or any related spread or other adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any reference rate referred to herein or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including, without limitation, any Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing), in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or other action or omission related to or affecting the selection, determination, or calculation of any rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1 <u>Term Loans</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>The Initial Term Loan</u>. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender with an Initial Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to make, on the applicable Closing Date, an Initial Term Loan to the Borrower in Dollars in an amount equal to such Lender's Initial Term Loan Commitment. The Borrower may make only one Borrowing under the Initial Term Loan Commitment, which shall be on the applicable Closing Date. Any amount borrowed under this <u>Section 2.1(a)</u> and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Subject to <u>Sections 4.1(a)</u> and <u>4.1(b)</u>, all amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Initial Term Loans shall be paid in full no later than the Maturity Date applicable to such Initial Term Loans. Each Lender's Initial Term Loan Commitment shall terminate immediately and without further action on the applicable Closing Date after giving effect to the funding of such Lender's Initial Term Loan Commitment on such date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>The Restatement Term Loan</u>. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Amendment and Restatement Agreement<u>**No. 1**</u> and subject to the conditions set forth in the Amendment and Restatement Agreement<u>**No. 1**</u>, each Restatement Term Lender party to the Amendment <u>and</u> Restatement Agreement<u>**No. 1**</u> severally agrees to make (or convert to), on the applicable Closing Date, a Restatement Term Loan to the Borrower in Dollars in the principal amount set forth in the Amendment and Restatement Agreement<u>**No. 1**</u>. The Borrower may make only one Borrowing under the Restatement Term Commitment, which shall be on the applicable Closing Date. Any amount borrowed under this <u>Section 2.1(b)</u> and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Subject to <u>Sections 4.1(a)</u> and <u>4.1(b)</u>, all amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Restatement Term Loans shall be paid in full no later than the Maturity Date applicable to such Restatement Term Loans. Each Lender's Restatement Term Commitment shall terminate immediately and without further action on the applicable Closing Date as provided in the Amendment and Restatement Agreement<u>**No. 1**</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Borrowing Mechanics for Term Loans</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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Borrower shall deliver to Agent a fully executed Funding Notice no later than (x) one (1) day prior to the applicable Closing Date with respect to Base Rate Term Loans and (y) three (3) days prior to the applicable Closing Date with respect to Term SOFR Term Loans (or such shorter period as may be reasonably acceptable to Agent). Promptly upon receipt by the Agent of such Funding Notice, the Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Each Lender shall make its Term Loan available to the Agent not later than 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Closing Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars at the principal office designated by the Agent. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein, the Agent shall make the proceeds of the Term Loans available to the Borrower on any Closing Date by causing an amount of immediately available funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of such Term Loans received by the Agent from the applicable Lenders to be credited to the account of the Borrower at the Agent's principal office or to such other account as may be designated in writing to the Agent by the Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) With respect to SOFR or Term SOFR, the Agent will have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; <u>provided</u> that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Funding by Lenders; Presumption by</u> Agent. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to any Closing Date that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender's share of the Borrowing to be made on such Closing Date, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with <u>Section 2.1(c)</u> and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Term Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Term Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Agent. A notice of the Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (d) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2 <u>Incremental Term Loans</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time after the Agreement Date, request one or more new commitments which may be of the same Class as any outstanding Term Loan (a "<u>Term Loan Increase</u>") or a new Class of Term Loans (collectively with any Term Loan Increase, the "<u>Incremental Term Commitments</u>"). Any request under this <u>Section 2.2</u> shall specify the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans. Incremental Term Loans may be made by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender will have an obligation to make any Incremental Term Commitment, nor will the Borrower have any obligation to approach any existing Lenders to provide any Incremental Term Commitment) or by any Additional Lender (each such existing Lender or Additional Lender providing such Incremental Term Commitment, an "<u>Incremental Term Lender</u>"); <u>provided</u> that the Agent shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) to such Additional Lender's making such Incremental Term Loans to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under <u>Section 13.2</u> for an assignment of Term Loans to such Additional Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The aggregate principal amount of Incremental Term Loans shall not exceed at the time incurred (i) the aggregate amount of Indebtedness that may be incurred under <u>Section 9.2(b)</u>, <u>plus</u> (ii) (A) in the case of Incremental Term Loans that are secured, the aggregate amount of Indebtedness that may be secured pursuant to <u>clause (dd)</u> of the definition of "Permitted Liens" and (B) in the case of Incremental Term Loans that are unsecured, the aggregate amount of Indebtedness that may be incurred under <u>Section 9.2(p)</u>, <u>plus</u> (iii) an unlimited additional amount so long as, after giving effect to any such incurrence on a *pro forma* basis (and after giving effect to any acquisition or other Investment consummated in connection therewith on a *pro forma* basis), (x) in the case of Incremental Term Loans that are secured, the Senior Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio is no greater than 4.25:1.00 and (y) in the case of Incremental Term Loans that are unsecured, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is no less than 2.00:1.00; <u>provided</u>, that the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Term Loans incurred and outstanding pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii)(B) above shall reduce the amount of Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under <u>Section 9.2(b)</u> and <u>Section 9.2(p)</u>, respectively, and the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Term Loans incurred and outstanding under clause (ii)(A) above shall reduce the amount of Indebtedness that is permitted to be secured by a Lien pursuant to <u>clause (dd)</u> of the definition of "Permitted Liens"; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that the amount of secured Incremental Term Loans that the Borrower is permitted to incur pursuant to clause (i) above shall be reduced (not below zero) by the amount of any secured Incremental Term Loans that the Borrower incurs pursuant to clause (iii)(x) above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) On any date on which any Incremental Term Commitments of any Class are effected (including through any Term Loan Increase) (each such date an "<u>Incremental Tranche Closing Date</u>"), subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions in this <u>Section 2.2</u>, (i) each Incremental Term Lender of such Class shall make a Term Loan to the Borrower (an "<u>Incremental Term Loan</u>") in an amount equal to its Incremental Term Commitment of such Class and (ii) each Incremental Term Lender of such Class shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Incremental Term Commitment of such Class and the Incremental Term Loans of such Class made pursuant thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The terms, provisions and documentation of any Incremental Term Loan or any Incremental Term Commitment shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Term Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Term Commitments, and except as otherwise set forth herein, to the extent not substantially consistent with any Class of Term Loans existing on the Incremental Tranche Closing Date (as determined by the Borrower), shall be consistent with <u>clauses (i)</u> through <u>(iii)</u> below, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Term Loan Increase, the terms, provisions and documentation of such Term Loan Increase shall be identical (other than with respect to underwriting, commitment or upfront fees, original issue discount or similar fees) to the applicable Term Loans being increased. In any event,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) each Incremental Term Loan or Incremental Term 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) at the Borrower's option, may rank *pari passu* or junior in right of payment with the other Term Loans or Commitments, as applicable, of such Class, may be *pari passu* or junior in right of security with the other Term Loans or Commitments, as applicable, of such Class (and, if junior in right of security, subject to an Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement) or may be unsecured;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) shall not mature earlier than the Maturity Date with respect to the Restatement Term Loans (prior to giving effect to any extensions 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity not shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Restatement Term Loans on the date of incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans (except by virtue of amortization or prepayment of the Restatement Term Loans prior to the time of such incurrence);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) shall have fees and, subject to <u>clauses (d)(i)(B)</u> and <u>(d)(i)(C)</u> above, amortization determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Term Lenders; 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(E) may, in the case of an Incremental Term Loan or Incremental Term Commitment that is *pari passu* in right of payment and right of security with the Restatement Term Loans, provide for the ability to participate on a *pro rata* basis, or on a less than *pro rata* basis (but not on a greater than *pro rata* basis), in any voluntary prepayments of Term Loans hereunder, as specified in the applicable Incremental Term Amendment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) the All-In-Yield applicable to the Incremental Term Loans of each Class shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable new Lenders and shall be set forth in each applicable Incremental Term Amendment; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that with respect to any Incremental Term Loans (other than any Excluded Incremental Term Loans) made on or prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the applicable Closing Date (other than a Term Loan that is secured on a junior basis, unsecured or subordinated in right of payment or security), the All-In-Yield applicable to such Incremental Term Loans shall not be greater than the applicable All-In-Yield payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement with respect to the Restatement Term Loans <u>plus</u> 75 basis points per annum, unless the Interest Rate (together with, as provided in the proviso below, the Term SOFR or Base Rate floor) with respect to such Restatement Term Loans is increased so as to cause the then applicable All-In-Yield under this Agreement on such Restatement Term Loans to equal the All-In-Yield then applicable to the Incremental Term Loans <u>minus</u> 75 basis points; <u>provided</u> that any increase in All-In-Yield to the Restatement Term Loans due to the application of a Term SOFR floor or Base Rate floor on any Incremental Term Loan shall be effected solely through an increase in (or implementation of, as applicable) any Term SOFR floor or Base Rate floor applicable to the Restatement Term Loans. "<u>Excluded Incremental Term Loan</u>" means any (w) Incremental Term Loans with a scheduled Maturity Date more than two (2) years after the Maturity Date of the Restatement Term Loans on the date of incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans, (x) Incremental Term Loans incurred in connection with an acquisition or other Investment, and (y) any Incremental Term Loan in an aggregate principal amount that when incurred does not exceed 25.0% of Consolidated EBITDA; 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) there shall be no borrowers or guarantors in respect of such Incremental Term Loan that are not the Borrower or a Guarantor, and, to the extent secured, Incremental Term Loans shall not be secured by assets other than Collateral (except pursuant to an escrow or similar arrangement with respect to the proceeds of such Incremental Term Loans).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) No Incremental Term Loans shall become effective unless and until each of the following conditions has been satisfied:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) Any such Incremental Term Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of $25,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) The Borrower, the Agent, and any Additional Lender shall have executed and delivered an Incremental Term Amendment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) The Borrower shall have paid such fees and other compensation to the Additional Lenders and to the Agent as the Borrower, the Agent and such Additional Lenders shall agree;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) The Borrower shall deliver on the closing date of any Incremental Term Loan a certificate certifying that (A) (other than with respect to an Incremental Term Loan in connection with an acquisition or any other Investment or refinancing, unless required by the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan) the representations and warranties made by Holdings, the Borrower and each Guarantor contained herein and in the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of such closing date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects, as of such specified earlier date, and (B) no Specified Default has occurred and is continuing; 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) The Borrower and Additional Lenders shall have delivered such other instruments, documents and agreements as the Agent may reasonably have requested in order to effectuate the documentation of the foregoing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) In connection with any Incremental Term Loan, the Agent, the Additional Lenders and the Borrower agree to enter into any amendment required to incorporate the addition of the Incremental Term Loans, the pricing of the Incremental Term Loans, the maturity date of the Incremental Term Loans and such other amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Agent and the Borrower in connection therewith, including amendments to provide for the inclusion, as appropriate, of Additional Lenders in any required vote or action of the Required Lenders, amendments to permit purchases of Incremental Term Loans by Holdings or any of its Affiliates (which shall be cancelled upon purchase by Holdings or any Subsidiary) (<u>provided</u> that such purchases by an Affiliate of Holdings other than a Subsidiary shall be subject to customary restrictions to be agreed with the Additional Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans and the Agent), and amendments to properly reflect the *pari passu* or junior right of payment or priority with respect to the Collateral (each an "<u>Incremental Term Amendment</u>"). The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent to enter into such amendments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3 <u>Extension Amendments</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time after the Agreement Date, request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of a given Class (each, an "<u>Existing Tranche</u>") be amended to extend the scheduled Maturity Date(s) with respect to all or a portion of such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so amended, "<u>Extended Term Loans</u>", with any Term Loans of the Existing Tranche not so extended being referred to as "<u>Non-Extended Term Loans</u>") and to provide for other terms consistent with this <u>Section 2.3</u>. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Tranche) (an "<u>Extension Request</u>") setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which Extension Request may be modified, revoked, or revoked and reissued by the Borrower at any time prior to the effectiveness of the Extension Amendment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Agent) prior to the date on which Lenders under the applicable Existing Tranche or Existing Tranches are requested to respond. Any Lender (an "<u>Extending Lender</u>") wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans under the Existing Tranche subject to such Extension Request amended into Extended Term Loans shall notify the Agent (each, an "<u>Extension Election</u>") on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans under the Existing Tranche which it has elected to request be amended into Extended Term Loans (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Agent). In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans requested pursuant to the Extension Request, the Term Loans subject to Extension Elections shall be amended to Extended Term Loans on a *pro rata* basis (subject to rounding by the Agent, which shall be conclusive) based on the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans included in each such Extension Election.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established pursuant to an Extension Request shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Tranche (including as to the proposed Interest Rates and fees payable, but excluding any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not generally shared with all Extending Lenders) and offered *pro rata* to each Lender under such Existing Tranche and (y) shall be identical to the Term Loans under the Existing Tranche from which such Extended Term Loans are to be amended, except that (I) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Tranche, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that at no time shall there be Classes of Term Loans hereunder (including Incremental Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans and Extended Term Loans) which have more than three (3) different Maturity Dates (unless otherwise consented to by the Agent); (II) the All-In-Yield with respect to the Extended Term Loans (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the All-In-Yield for the Term Loans of such Existing Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (III) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans); and (IV) Extended Term Loans may have call protection as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof. In any event, the Extended 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) as of the Extension Date, shall not mature earlier than the Maturity Date with respect to the Term Loans in the Existing Tranche;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) as of the Extension Date, shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity not shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans in the Existing Tranche (except by virtue of amortization of prepayment of the Term Loans in the Existing Tranche prior to the time of such incurrence);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) shall be permitted by the terms of all Acceptable Intercreditor Agreements (to the extent any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement is then in effect);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) may participate on a *pro rata* basis, or less than a *pro rata* basis (but not on a greater than *pro rata* basis), in any voluntary prepayments of Term Loans hereunder, as specified in the respective Extension Amendment.

Any Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to any Extension Request shall be designated a Class (each, a "<u>Term Loan Extension Series</u>") of Extended Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; <u>provided</u> that any Extended Term Loans amended from an Existing Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Term Loan Extension Series with respect to such Existing Tranche (in which case scheduled amortization with respect thereto shall be proportionately increased).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Extended Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an "<u>Extension Amendment</u>") to this Agreement (which may include amendments to provisions related to maturity, interest margins or fees referenced in <u>Section 2.3(c)(II)</u> and which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the penultimate sentence of this <u>Section 2.3(d)</u> and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in <u>Section 13.1</u>, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Term Loans established thereby) executed by the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Agent and the Extending Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and without limiting the generality or applicability of <u>Section 13.1</u> to any Section 2.3 Additional Amendments, any Extension Amendment may provide for additional terms and/or additional amendments other than those referred to or contemplated above (any such additional amendment, a "<u>Section 2.3 Additional Amendment</u>") to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; <u>provided</u> that such Section 2.3 Additional Amendments do not become effective prior to the time that such Section 2.3 Additional Amendments have been consented to (including pursuant to consents applicable to holders of any Extended Term Loans provided for in any Extension Amendment) by such of the Lenders, the Borrower, the Guarantors and other parties (if any) as may be required in order for such Section 2.3 Additional Amendments to become effective in accordance with <u>Section 13.1</u>. It is understood and agreed that each Lender has consented for all purposes requiring its consent, and shall at the effective time thereof be deemed to consent to each amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents authorized by this <u>Section 2.3</u> and the arrangements described above in connection therewith except that the foregoing shall not constitute a consent on behalf of any Lender to the terms of any Section 2.3 Additional Amendment. In connection with any Extension Amendment, the Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Agent as to the enforceability of such Extension Amendment, this Agreement as amended thereby, and such of the other Loan Documents (if any) as may be amended thereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on any date on which any Existing Tranche is converted to extend the related scheduled Maturity Date(s) in accordance with <u>clause (a)</u> above (an "<u>Extension Date</u>"), (i) the scheduled repayments set forth in <u>Section 4.1</u> with respect to any Existing Tranche subject to an Extension Election shall be modified to reflect a reduction in the principal amount of Term Loans required to be paid thereunder in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to the applicable Extension Amendment (with such amount to be applied ratably to reduce scheduled repayments of such Term Loans required pursuant to <u>Section 4.1</u>) and (ii) the prepayments set forth in <u>Section 4.1</u> shall be modified to reflect the existence of Extended Term Loans and the application of prepayments with respect thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) If, in connection with any proposed Extension Amendment, any Lender declines to consent to the extension of its applicable Commitment on the terms and by the deadline set forth in the applicable Extension Request (each such other Lender, a "<u>Non-Extending Lender</u>") then the Borrower may, on notice to the Agent and the Non-Extending Lender, (i) replace such Non-Extending Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to <u>Section 13.2</u> (with the assignment fee and any other costs and expenses to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees; <u>provided</u> that neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that the applicable assignee shall have agreed to provide an applicable Term Loan on the terms set forth in such Extension Amendment; and <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Non-Extending Lender relating to the Term Loans so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Non-Extending Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Acceptance or (ii) upon notice to the Agent, to prepay the Term Loans of such Non-Extending Lender, in whole or in part, subject to <u>Section 5.4</u>, without premium or penalty. In connection with any such replacement under this <u>Section 2.3</u>, if the Non-Extending Lender does not execute and deliver to the Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement by the later of (A) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation and (B) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Non-Extending Lender relating to the Term Loans so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Non-Extending Lender, then such Non-Extending Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Non-Extending Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Following any Extension Date, with the written consent of the Borrower, any Non-Extending Lender may elect to have all or a portion of its Term Loans under an Existing Tranche deemed to be an Extended Term Loans under the applicable Term Loan Extension Series on any date (each date a "<u>Designation Date</u>") prior to the maturity date of such Extended Term Loans; <u>provided</u> that (i) such Lender shall have provided written notice to the Borrower and the Agent at least ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Agent) prior to such Designation Date and (ii) no more than three (3) Designation Dates may occur in any one-year (1-year) period without the written consent of the Agent. Following a Designation Date, the Term Loans under the Existing Tranche held by such Lender so elected to be extended will be deemed to be Extended Term Loans of the applicable Term Loan Extension Series and any Term Loans under an Existing Tranche held by such Lender not elected to be extended, if any, shall continue to be "Non-Extended Term Loans."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) With respect to all extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this <u>Section 2.3</u>, (i) such extensions shall not constitute payments or prepayments for purposes of <u>Section 4.1</u> and (ii) no Extension Request is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, <u>provided</u> that the Borrower may at their election specify as a condition to consummating any such extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Request in the Borrower's discretion and may be waived by the Borrower) of Term Loans under an Existing Tranche be extended. The Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this <u>Section 2.3</u> (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Request) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including <u>Sections 4.4</u> and <u>14.12(b)</u>) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such extension or any other transaction contemplated by this <u>Section 2.3</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4 <u>Refinancing Amendments</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Borrower may, at any time or from time to time after the Agreement Date, by notice to the Agent (a "<u>Refinancing Term Loan Request</u>"), request (i) the establishment of one or more new Classes of Term Loans under this Agreement (any such new Class, "<u>Refinancing Term Commitments</u>"), established in exchange for, or to replace, repurchase, retire or refinance, in whole or in part, as selected by the Borrower, any one or more then-existing Class or Classes of Term Loans (with respect to a particular Refinancing Term Commitment or Refinancing Term Loan, such existing Term Loans, "<u>Refinanced Debt</u>"), whereupon the Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of each such notice to each of the Lenders holding such proposed Refinanced Debt.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each Refinancing Term Loan Request from the Borrower pursuant to this <u>Section 2.4</u> shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Refinancing Term Loans and identify the proposed Refinanced Debt with respect thereto. Any Refinancing Term Loans made pursuant to Refinancing Term Commitments made on a Refinancing Closing Date shall be designated a separate Class of Refinancing Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement. Refinancing Term Loans may be made by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender will have an obligation to make any Refinancing Term Commitment, nor will the Borrower have any obligation to approach any existing Lender to provide any Refinancing Term Commitment) or by any Additional Lender (each such Additional Lender providing such Refinancing Term Commitment or Refinancing Term Loan, a "<u>Refinancing Term Lender</u>"); <u>provided</u> that the Agent shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) to such Lender's or Additional Lender's making such Refinancing Term Loans to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under <u>Section 13.2</u> for an assignment of Term Loans, to such Additional Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) On any Refinancing Closing Date on which any Refinancing Term Commitments of any Class are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions in this <u>Section 2.4</u>, (i) each Refinancing Term Lender of such Class shall make a Term Loan, severally, but not jointly or jointly and severally with the other Refinancing Term Lenders, to the Borrower (a "<u>Refinancing Term Loan</u>") in an amount equal to its Refinancing Term Commitment of such Class and (ii) each Refinancing Term Lender of such Class shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Refinancing Term Commitment of such Class and the Refinancing Term Loans of such Class made pursuant thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The terms, provisions and documentation of the Refinancing Term Loans and Refinancing Term Commitments of any Class shall be as agreed between the Borrower, the applicable Refinancing Term Lenders providing such Refinancing Term Loans or Refinancing Term Commitments and the Agent (in the case of the Agent, only with respect to terms and provisions not otherwise specified in this <u>Section 2.4</u> that adversely affect the rights or obligations of the Agent), and except as otherwise set forth herein, to the extent not substantially identical to any Class of Term Loans existing on the Refinancing Closing Date, shall be consistent with <u>clauses (i)</u> through <u>(vi)</u> below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) at the Borrower's option, may rank *pari passu* or junior in right of payment with the Obligations under the then existing Term Loans, may be *pari passu* or junior in right of security with the Obligations under the then existing Term Loans (and, if junior in right of security, subject to an Appropriate Intercreditor Agreement) or may be unsecured;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) as of the Refinancing Closing Date, shall not mature earlier than the Maturity Date of the Refinanced Debt;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity not shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Refinanced Debt on the date of incurrence of such Refinancing Term Loans (except by virtue of amortization or prepayment of the Refinanced Debt prior to the time of such incurrence);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) shall have an applicable margin and, subject to <u>clauses (d)(ii)</u> and <u>(d)(iii)</u> above, amortization determined by the Borrower and the applicable Refinancing Term Lenders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) shall not be subject to any guarantee by any person other than an Obligor and shall not include any borrower other than the Borrower; 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) may, in the case of any Refinancing Term Loans that are *pari passu* in right of payment and right of security with then existing Term Loans, provide for the ability to participate on a *pro rata* basis, or on a less than *pro rata* basis (but not on a greater than *pro rata* basis), in any voluntary prepayments of such Term Loans hereunder, as specified in the applicable Refinancing Amendment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, and the Refinancing Term Commitments thereunder, shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (a "<u>Refinancing Closing Date</u>") of each of the following conditions, together with any other conditions set forth in the Refinancing Amendment:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) each Refinancing Term Commitment shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000 and shall be in an increment of $1,000,000 (<u>provided</u> that such amount may be less than $5,000,000 and not in an increment of $1,000,000 if such amount is equal to the entire outstanding principal amount of Refinanced Debt);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) after giving effect to such Refinancing Term Commitments, the conditions of <u>Sections 10.1(h)</u> and <u>10.1(i)</u> shall be satisfied; 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of such Refinancing Term Loans shall not exceed the principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of the Refinanced Debt (plus the amount of unpaid accrued or capitalized interest and premiums thereon (including make-whole premiums, prepayment premiums, tender premiums and amounts required to be paid in connection with defeasance and satisfaction and discharge), underwriting discounts, original issue discount, defeasance costs, fees (including upfront fees), commissions and expenses).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Refinancing Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (a "<u>Refinancing Amendment</u>") to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Refinancing Term Lender providing such Refinancing Term Loans and the Agent. The Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Obligor, agent or Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this <u>Section 2.4</u>, including, if applicable, amendments as deemed necessary by the Agent in its reasonable judgment to effect (i) any lien subordination and associated rights of the applicable Lenders to the extent any Refinancing Term Loans are to rank junior in right of security and (ii) that any Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant does not benefit any Term Loan hereunder. The Borrower will use the proceeds, if any, of the Refinancing Term Loans in exchange for, or to extend, renew, replace, repurchase, retire or refinance, and shall permanently terminate applicable commitments under, substantially concurrently, the applicable Refinanced Debt.

**ARTICLE III**

**INTEREST AND FEES**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1 <u>Interest</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) <u>Interest Rates</u>. All outstanding Term Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof (including, to the extent permitted by law, on interest thereon not paid when due) from the date made until paid in full in cash at a rate determined as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) for all Base Rate Term Loans, at a fluctuating per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) for all Term SOFR Term Loans, at a per annum rate equal to the Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin.

Each change in the Base Rate shall be reflected in the Interest Rate applicable to Base Rate Term Loans as of the effective date of such change. All computations of interest for Base Rate Term Loans when the Base Rate is determined by Bank of America's "prime rate" shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the applicable Lenders, interest on all Term Loans in arrears on each Interest Payment 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;(b) <u>Default Rate</u>. If the Borrower shall default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Term Loan or any other amount becoming due hereunder, by acceleration or otherwise, or under any other Loan Document, the Borrower shall on demand from time to time pay interest, to the extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount to, but excluding, the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) (w) in the case of overdue principal, at the Default Rate, (x) in the case of overdue interest, at the Default Rate that would be applicable with respect to the applicable principal on which such interest is due and (y) in all other cases, at a rate per annum equal to the rate that would be applicable to a Base Rate Term Loan plus 2.00%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2 <u>Continuation and Conversion Elections</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Borrower may:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) elect, as of any Business Day, to convert any Base Rate Term Loans (or any part thereof in an amount not less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof) into Term SOFR Term Loans; 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) elect, as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, to continue any Term SOFR Term Loans having Interest Periods expiring on such day (or any part thereof in an amount not less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof);

<u>provided</u> that if at any time the aggregate amount of Term SOFR Term Loans in respect of any Borrowing is reduced, by payment, prepayment, or conversion of part thereof to be less than $1,000,000, such Term SOFR Term Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Term Loans; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that if the Notice of Continuation/Conversion shall fail to specify the duration of the Interest Period, such Interest Period shall be one (1) month; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that no Term SOFR Term Loan may be continued as such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Agent has or the Required Lenders have given notice to the Borrower that no such continuations may be made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Borrower shall deliver a notice of continuation/conversion substantially in the form of Exhibit <u>B</u> (each, a "<u>Notice of Continuation/Conversion</u>"), as applicable, to the Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least two (2) Business Days in advance of the Continuation/Conversion Date, specifying:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) the proposed Continuation/Conversion 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans to be converted or continued;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) the Type of Term Loans resulting from the proposed conversion or continuation; 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) the duration of the requested Interest Period; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, the Borrower may not select an Interest Period that ends after the Maturity Date.

In lieu of delivering a Notice of Continuation/Conversion, the Borrower may give the Agent telephonic notice of such request on or before the deadline set forth above. The Agent at all times shall be entitled to rely on such telephonic notice with respect to such continuation or conversion, regardless of whether any written confirmation is received.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Term SOFR Term Loans, the Borrower has failed to select timely a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Term SOFR Term Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected an Interest Period of one (1) month, effective as of the expiration date of the expiring Interest Period. If any Default or Event of Default exists, at the election of the Agent or the Required Lenders, all Term SOFR Term Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Term Loans as of the expiration date of each applicable Interest Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Continuation/Conversion. All conversions and continuations shall be made ratably according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans with respect to which the notice was given held by each Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) There may not be more than five (5) different Term SOFR Term Loans for any Class in effect hereunder at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3 <u>Maximum Interest Rate</u>. In no event shall any Interest Rate provided for hereunder exceed the maximum rate legally chargeable under applicable law with respect to loans of the Type provided for hereunder (the "<u>Maximum Rate</u>"). If, in any month, any Interest Rate, absent such limitation, would have exceeded the Maximum Rate, then the Interest Rate for that month shall be the Maximum Rate, and, if in future months, that Interest Rate would otherwise be less than the Maximum Rate, then that Interest Rate shall remain at the Maximum Rate until such time as the amount of interest paid hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been paid if the same had not been limited by the Maximum Rate. In the event that, upon payment in full of the Obligations, the total amount of interest paid or accrued under the terms of this Agreement is less than the total amount of interest which would, but for this <u>Section 3.3</u>, have been paid or accrued if the Interest Rate otherwise set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then the Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay the Agent, for the account of the applicable Lenders, an amount equal to the excess of (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of interest which would have been charged if the Maximum Rate had, at all times, been in effect or (ii) the amount of interest which would have accrued had the Interest Rate otherwise set forth in this Agreement, at all times, been in effect over (b) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued under this Agreement. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Agent and/or any Lender has received interest and other charges hereunder in excess of the Maximum Rate, such excess shall be deemed received on account of, and shall automatically be applied to reduce, the Obligations other than interest, and if there are no Obligations outstanding, the Agent and/or such Lender shall refund to the Borrower such excess.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4 <u>Closing Fees</u>. The Borrower agrees to pay the Agent and each of the Arrangers on the applicable Closing Date all fees due and payable on such date as set forth in the applicable Fee Letters.

**ARTICLE IV**

**PAYMENTS AND PREPAYMENTS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1 <u>Payments and Prepayments</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Borrower shall repay to the Agent, with respect to the Restatement Term Loans, for the benefit of the Restatement Term Lenders, (i) on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on June<u>**September**</u> 30, 2024<u>**2025**</u>, an aggregate amount equal to $2,500,000 (which payments shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the priority set forth in <u>clause (b)</u> below) and (ii) on the Maturity Date, the aggregate principal amount of all Restatement Term Loans outstanding on such date,

<u>provided</u> that the amount of any such payment set forth above in respect of Term Loans of any Class shall be adjusted to account for the addition of any Extended Term Loan or Incremental Term Loans to contemplate (x) the reduction in the aggregate principal amount of any Term Loans of such Class that were converted in connection with the incurrence of such Extended Term Loans, and (y) any increase to payments to the extent and as required pursuant to the terms of any applicable Incremental Term Amendment involving a Term Loan Increase to the Term Loans of such Class, a Refinancing Amendment to the amount of Term Loans of such Class or an Extension Amendment increasing the amount of Term Loans of such Class.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay the Term Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; <u>provided</u> that (i) such notice must be received by the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) (A) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Term SOFR Term Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Term Loans; and (ii) each prepayment shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) and Class(es) of Term Loans to be prepaid. The Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender's ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender's Pro Rata Share). If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; <u>provided</u> that such prepayment obligation may be conditioned on the occurrence of any subsequent event (including a Change of Control, refinancing transaction or acquisition or other Investment). Voluntary prepayments of any Class(es) of Term Loan permitted hereunder shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installments of principal thereof pursuant to Section 4.1(a) in a manner determined at the sole discretion of the Borrower and specified in the notice of prepayment, and, subject to the other limitations expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Borrower may elect to apply voluntary prepayments of Term Loans to one or more Class or Classes of Term Loans selected by the Borrower in its sole discretion (<u>provided</u> that such voluntary prepayments of the Term Loans shall be made *pro rata* within any such Class or Classes selected by the Borrower). In the event that the Borrower does not specify the order in which to apply prepayments to reduce scheduled installments of principal or as between Classes of Term Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that such prepayment be applied to reduce the scheduled installments of principal in direct order of maturity on a *pro rata* basis among Classes of Term Loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, on or prior to the date which is six (6) months after the Restatement<u>**Amendment No. 1**</u> Effective Date, the Borrower (i) prepays, refinances, substitutes or replaces any Restatement Term Loans pursuant to a Repricing Transaction, or (ii) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Lenders, (x) in the case of <u>clause (i)</u>, a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Restatement Term Loans so prepaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced and (y) in the case of <u>clause (ii)</u>, a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Restatement Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment. Such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction; <u>provided</u> that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall not be subject to the requirements of this <u>Section 4.1(c)</u> with respect to any Repricing Transaction occurring after the six (6)-month anniversary of the Restatement<u>**Amendment No. 1**</u> Effective Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2 <u>Term SOFR Term Loan Prepayments</u>. In connection with any prepayment, if any Term SOFR Term Loans are prepaid prior to the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall comply with <u>Section 5.4</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.3 <u>Payments by the Borrower</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower shall be made to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, at the account designated by the Agent and shall be made in Dollars and in immediately available funds, no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the date specified herein. Any payment received by the Agent after such time shall be deemed (for purposes of calculating interest only) to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest shall continue to accrue.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of "Interest Period", whenever any payment is due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.4 <u>Apportionment, Application and Reversal of Payments</u>. Principal and interest payments (but excluding payments to any tranche established after the date of this Agreement pursuant to <u>Section 2.2</u>, <u>2.3</u> or <u>2.4</u> to the extent otherwise provided in the applicable amendment to this Agreement relating to such tranche) shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Term Loans to which such payments relate held by each such Lender) and payments of the fees shall, as applicable, be apportioned ratably among the Lenders, except for fees payable solely to the Agent or any Arranger. Principal and interest payments on any Term Loans made pursuant to any tranche established after the date of this Agreement pursuant to <u>Section 2.2</u>, <u>2.3</u> or <u>2.4</u> shall be allocated *pro rata* (or as may otherwise be provided for in the applicable amendment to this Agreement relating to such tranche) among the Lenders with commitments under any facility in respect thereof or with participations in such tranche (in each case subject to any limitations on non-*pro rata* payments otherwise provided in any such section). All payments shall be remitted to the Agent and all such payments not relating to principal or interest of specific Term Loans, or not constituting payment of specific fees, and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Agent in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, shall be applied, ratably, subject to the provisions of this Agreement and any applicable Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement: <u>first</u>, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Agent or the Arrangers from the Borrower; <u>second</u>, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrower; <u>third</u>, to pay interest due in respect of all Term Loans; <u>fourth</u>, to pay or prepay principal of the Term Loans; <u>fifth</u>, to the payment of any other applicable Obligations due to the Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party, by the Obligors; and <u>sixth</u>, to pay any remaining amounts to the Borrower for its own account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower, or unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, neither the Agent nor any Lender shall apply any payments which it receives to any Term SOFR Term Loan, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such Term SOFR Term Loan, or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding Base Rate Term Loans and, in such event, the Borrower shall pay Term SOFR Term Loan breakage losses in accordance with <u>Section 5.4</u>. The Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the applicable Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this <u>Section 4.4</u> may be amended in accordance with <u>Section 13.1(c)</u> (and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent to enter into any such amendments) to the extent necessary to reflect differing amounts payable, and priorities of payments, to Lenders participating in any new Classes or tranches of Term Loans added pursuant to <u>Section 2.2</u>, <u>2.3</u> or <u>2.4</u>, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.5 <u>Indemnity for Returned Payments</u>. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, the Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party, and the Borrower shall be liable to pay to the Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party and hereby do indemnify the Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party and hold the Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party harmless for the amount of such payment or proceeds surrendered. The provisions of this <u>Section 4.5</u> shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any release of Collateral or guarantors, cancellation or return of Loan Documents, or other contrary action which may have been taken by the Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds, and any such contrary action so taken shall be without prejudice to the Agent's, the Lenders' or such other Secured Party's rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment or application of proceeds having become final and irrevocable. The provisions of this <u>Section 4.5</u> shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.6 <u>Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Agent</u>. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Agent for the accounts of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. With respect to any payment that the Agent makes for the account of any Lender hereunder as to which the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the "<u>Rescindable Amount</u>"): (1) the Borrower has not in fact made such payment; (2) the Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by the Borrower (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of the Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this <u>Section 4.6</u> shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.7 <u>Agent's and Lenders' Books and Records</u>. The Agent shall record the principal amount of the Term Loans owing to each Lender from time to time on its books. In addition, each Lender may note the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal of such Lender's Term Loans in its books and records. Failure by the Agent or any Lender to make such notation shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower with respect to the Term Loans. The Borrower agrees that the Agent's and each Lender's books and records showing the Obligations and the transactions pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be admissible in any action or proceeding arising therefrom, and shall constitute rebuttably presumptive proof thereof (absent manifest error), irrespective of whether any Obligation is also evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument.

**ARTICLE V**

**TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.1 <u>Taxes</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Unless otherwise required by applicable law, any and all payments by an Obligor to a Lender or the Agent under this Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes. In addition, the Obligors shall pay all Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Obligors agree jointly and severally to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender and the Agent for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section) paid by any Lender or the Agent and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date such Lender or the Agent makes written demand therefor in accordance with <u>Section 5.6(a)</u>. For the avoidance of doubt, an Obligor does not have to indemnify and hold harmless a Lender under this Section 5.1(b) to the extent that the Lender is otherwise compensated under a separate clause of this Section 5.1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If an Obligor shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Lender or the Agent, then:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Obligor shall make such deductions and withholdings; 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the Obligor shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) At the Agent's request, within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment by an Obligor of Indemnified Taxes, the relevant Obligor shall furnish to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment, or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.1 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.1), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this <u>clause (e)</u> (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this <u>clause (e)</u>, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this <u>clause (e)</u> the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This <u>clause (e)</u> shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Status 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.1(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

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

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this <u>clause (D)</u>, "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Each Lender agrees severally to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Obligor has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Obligors to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of <u>Section 14.19(b)</u> relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date the Agent makes written demand therefor in accordance with <u>Section 5.6(b)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2 <u>Illegality</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law, in each case after the later of the Agreement Date or the date such Lender became a party to this Agreement, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted after such date that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make Term SOFR Term Loans, then, on notice thereof by that Lender to the Borrower through the Agent, any obligation of that Lender to make Term SOFR Term Loans shall be suspended until that Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If a Lender determines that it is unlawful to maintain any Term SOFR Term Loan as a result of the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law, in each case after the later of the Agreement Date or the date such Lender became a party to this Agreement, the Borrower shall, upon their receipt of notice of such fact and demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay in full such Term SOFR Term Loans of that Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon and amounts required under <u>Section 5.4</u>, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if that Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Term Loans to such day, or immediately, if that Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Term Loans. If the Borrower is required to so prepay any Term SOFR Term Loans, then concurrently with such prepayment, the Borrower shall borrow from the affected Lender, in the amount of such repayment, a Base Rate Term Loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.3 <u>Increased Costs and Reduction of Return</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If any Lender determines that due to any of (i) the introduction of or any change in the interpretation of any law or regulation (including any law or regulation relating to Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes)), (ii) the compliance by that Lender with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), in each case of <u>clauses (i)</u> and <u>(ii)</u>, after the later of the Agreement Date or the date such Lender became a party to this Agreement, (iii) compliance by that Lender with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any request, rule, guideline or directive thereunder or issued in connection therewith (whether or not having the force of law), regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, or (iv) the compliance by that Lender with any requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Term SOFR Term Loans, then, subject to <u>clause (c)</u> of this <u>Section 5.3</u>, the Borrower shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, upon demand (with a copy of such demand to be sent to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased costs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If any Lender shall have determined that (i) the introduction of or compliance with any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, in each case of <u>clauses (i)</u> through <u>(iii)</u>, after the later of the Agreement Date or the date such Lender became a party to this Agreement, (iv) compliance by that Lender with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any request, rule, guideline or directive thereunder or issued in connection therewith (whether or not having the force of law), regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, or (v) any requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation or other entity controlling such Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender's or such corporation's or other entity's policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender's desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its Commitments, Term Loans or Obligations under this Agreement, then, upon demand of such Lender to the Borrower through the Agent, subject to <u>clause (c)</u> of this <u>Section 5.3</u>, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increase.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this <u>Section 5.3</u> shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand such compensation. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no Lender shall demand compensation pursuant to this <u>Section 5.3</u> if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements, if any (and such Lender so certifies to the Borrower).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.4 <u>Funding Losses</u>. The Borrower shall reimburse each Lender and hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the failure of the Borrower to borrow a Term SOFR Term Loan after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Funding Notice;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the failure of the Borrower to continue a Term SOFR Term Loan or convert a Term Loan into a Term SOFR Term Loan after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Continuation/Conversion; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the prepayment or other payment (including after acceleration thereof) of any Term SOFR Term Loans on a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period (including any payment in respect thereof pursuant to <u>Section 5.9</u>),

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its Term SOFR Term Loans. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by any Lender in connection with the foregoing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.5 <u>Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate</u>. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term SOFR Term Loan:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) no Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with <u>Section 5.7</u>, and the circumstances under <u>clause (a)</u> of the first sentence of <u>Section 5.7</u> or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred, or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Term SOFR for such Interest Period; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Agent is advised by Lenders whose Pro Rata Shares aggregate more than 50% that the Term SOFR for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Term Loans included for such Interest Period (each of <u>clause (a)</u> and <u>(b)</u>, a "<u>Market Disruption Event</u>"),

then the Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and the applicable Lenders by telephone, facsimile transmission or PDF attachment to an e-mail or other electronic communications as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Notice of Continuation/Conversion that requests the conversion of any applicable Term Loan to, or continuation of any such Term Loan as, a Term SOFR Term Loan shall be ineffective and such Term Loan shall be converted to or continued as, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, a Base Rate Term Loan, and (ii) if any Funding Notice requests a Term SOFR Term Loan, such Term Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Term Loan. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any Funding Notice or Notice of Continuation/Conversion then submitted by them. During any period in which a Market Disruption Event is in effect, the Borrower may request that the Agent or the Lenders whose Pro Rata Shares aggregate more than 50%, as applicable, confirm that the circumstances giving rise to the Market Disruption Event continue to be in effect; <u>provided</u> that (A) the Borrower shall not be permitted to submit any such request more than once in any thirty (30)-day period and (B) nothing contained in this <u>Section 5.5</u> or the failure to provide confirmation of the continued effectiveness of such Market Disruption Event shall in any way affect the Agent's right or the right of the applicable Lenders to provide any additional notices of a Market Disruption Event as provided in this <u>Section 5.5</u>. If the Agent or such Lenders, as applicable, have not confirmed within ten (10) Business Days after request of such confirmation from the Borrower that a Market Disruption Event has occurred, then such Market Disruption Event shall be deemed to be no longer existing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.6 <u>Certificates of Agent</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If the Agent or any Lender claims reimbursement or compensation under this <u>ARTICLE V</u> (other than under <u>Section 5.1(g)</u>), the Agent or the affected Lender shall determine the amount thereof and shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to the Agent or the affected Lender, and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error; <u>provided</u> that, except for compensation under <u>Section 5.1</u>, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay the Agent or such Lender any compensation attributable to any period prior to the date that is ninety (90) days prior to the date on which the Agent or such Lender first gave notice to the Borrower of the circumstances entitling such Lender to compensation. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If the Agent claims reimbursement or compensation under <u>Section 5.1(g)</u>, the Agent shall determine the amount thereof and shall deliver to a Lender (with a copy to the Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to the Agent, and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Lender in the absence of manifest error. Such Lender shall pay the Agent the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.7 <u>Successor Rate</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents (including <u>Section 13.1</u>), if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or Required Lenders notify the Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrower) that the Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining one (1) month, three (3) month and six (6) month interest periods of Term SOFR, including, without limitation, because the Term SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) CME or any successor administrator of the Term SOFR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Agent or such administrator with respect to its publication of Term SOFR, in each case acting in such capacity, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which one (1) month, three (3) month and six (6) month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate shall or will no longer be representative or made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of Dollar denominated syndicated loans, or shall or will otherwise cease, <u>provided</u> that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Agent, that will continue to provide such representative interest periods of Term SOFR after such specific date (the latest date on which one (1) month, three (3) month and six (6) month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate are no longer representative or available permanently or indefinitely, the "<u>Scheduled Unavailability Date</u>");

then, on a date and time determined by the Agent (any such date, the "<u>Term SOFR Replacement Date</u>"), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant interest payment date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to <u>clause (b)</u> above, no later than the Scheduled Unavailability Date, Term SOFR will be replaced hereunder and under any Loan Document with Daily Simple SOFR for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by the Agent, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the "<u>Successor Rate")</u>.

If the Successor Rate is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) if the Agent determines that Daily Simple SOFR is not available on or prior to the Term SOFR Replacement Date, or (ii) if the events or circumstances of the type described in the <u>clause (a)</u> or <u>(b)</u> of the first sentence of this <u>Section 5.7</u> have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then in each case, the Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing Term SOFR or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this <u>Section 5.7</u> at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then prevailing market convention for similar Dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such alternative benchmark and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then prevailing market convention for similar Dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such benchmark. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments, shall constitute a "<u>Successor Rate</u>". Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.

The Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Borrower and each Lender of the implementation of any Successor Rate.

Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; <u>provided</u> that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Agent.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, the Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; <u>provided</u> that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.8 <u>Survival</u>. The agreements and obligations of the Borrower in this <u>ARTICLE V</u> shall survive the payment of all other Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.9 <u>Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances</u>. In the event (a) any Lender requests compensation pursuant to <u>Section 5.3</u>, (b) any Lender delivers a notice described in <u>Section 5.2</u>, (c) any Obligor is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender pursuant to <u>Section 5.1</u> or (d) any Lender is, or becomes an Affiliate of a Person that is, engaged in the business in which the Borrower is engaged, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing fee referred to in <u>Section 13.2(a)</u>), upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in <u>Section 13.2</u>), all of its interests, rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), <u>provided</u> that (i) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (ii) except in the case of <u>clause (d)</u> above, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to such Lender in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of 100% of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Term Loans of such Lender, plus all fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender hereunder (including any amounts under <u>Sections 5.1</u>, <u>5.2</u>, <u>5.3</u> and <u>5.4</u>), (iv) such assignment is consummated within 180 days after the date on which the Borrower's right under this Section arises, and (v) if the consent of the Agent is required pursuant to <u>Section 13.2</u>, such consents are obtained; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that if prior to any such assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender's request or notice under <u>Section 5.2</u> or <u>5.3</u> or demand for additional amounts under <u>Section 5.1</u>, as the case may be, shall cease to exist or become inapplicable for any reason, or if such Lender shall waive its rights in respect of such circumstances or event under <u>Section 5.1</u>, <u>5.2</u> or <u>5.3</u>, as the case may be, then such Lender shall not thereafter be required to make such assignment hereunder. In the event that a replaced Lender does not execute an Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to <u>Section 13.2</u> within two (2) Business Days after receipt by such replaced Lender of notice of replacement pursuant to this <u>Section 5.9</u> and presentation to such replaced Lender of an Assignment and Acceptance evidencing an assignment pursuant to this <u>Section 5.9</u>, the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated), upon receipt by the replaced Lender of all amounts required to be paid under this <u>Section 5.9</u>, to execute such an Assignment and Acceptance on behalf of such replaced Lender, and any such Assignment and Acceptance so executed by the Borrower, the replacement Lender and, to the extent required pursuant to <u>Section 13.2</u>, the Agent, shall be effective for purposes of this <u>Section 5.9</u> and <u>Section 13.2</u>.

**ARTICLE VI**

**GUARANTY**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.1 <u>The Guaranty</u>. Subject to the provisions of <u>Section 6.2</u>, the Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties the due and punctual payment in full of all Obligations of the Borrower, when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision in any applicable jurisdiction) (each, a "<u>Guaranteed Obligation</u>" and, collectively, the "<u>Guaranteed Obligations</u>"). Each Guarantor, the Agent and each other Secured Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty and the Obligations of each Guarantor under this <u>ARTICLE VI</u> not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal, state or provincial law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by Agent or any other Secured Party to any security held for the payment of the Obligation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.2 <u>Contribution by Guarantors</u>. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves, in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a "<u>Funding Guarantor</u>") under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Guarantor's Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. "<u>Fair Share</u>" means, with respect to a Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Guarantor to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Guarantors <u>multiplied by</u> (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the obligations Guaranteed. "<u>Fair Share Contribution Amount</u>" means, with respect to a Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; <u>provided</u>, solely for purposes of calculating the "Fair Share Contribution Amount" with respect to any Guarantor for purposes of this <u>Section 6.2</u>, any assets or liabilities of such Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Guarantor. "<u>Aggregate Payments</u>" means, with respect to a Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including in respect of this <u>Section 6.2</u>), <u>minus</u> (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Guarantor from the other Guarantors as contributions under this <u>Section 6.2</u>. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this <u>Section 6.2</u> shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this <u>Section 6.2</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.3 <u>Payment by Guarantors</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Subject to <u>Section 6.2</u>, the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Secured Party may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of the Borrower to pay any of the applicable Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision in any applicable jurisdiction), the Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in immediately available funds, to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all applicable Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for the Borrower becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code or other similar legislation in any jurisdiction, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against the Borrower for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other applicable Guaranteed Obligations then owed to the Secured Parties as aforesaid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Any and all payments made by any Guarantor under or in respect of this ARTICLE VI shall be made in accordance with Section 5.1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.4 <u>Obligations Unconditional</u>. The obligations of the Guarantors under <u>Section 6.1</u> are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any law or regulation or other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (other than payment in full of the Obligations), it being the intent of this <u>Section 6.4</u> that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that it shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the Borrower for amounts paid under this <u>ARTICLE VI</u> until such time as Full Payment of the Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Loan Documents shall be done or omitted;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the Maturity Date of any of the Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Loan Documents shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Obligations shall be released, impaired or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) any of the Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including for the benefit of any creditor of a Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person (including any creditor of a Guarantor).

With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Loan Documents or against any other Person under any other guarantee of any of the Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.5 <u>Reinstatement</u>. The obligations of the Guarantors under this <u>ARTICLE VI</u> shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Guarantors agree to indemnify the Agent and each Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Agent or such Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.6 <u>Remedies</u>. The Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, the Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in <u>Section 11.2(b)</u> (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said <u>Sections 11.1(e)</u>, <u>11.1(f)</u>, <u>11.1(g)</u> and <u>11.1(h)</u>) for purposes of <u>Section 6.1</u> notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), the Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of <u>Section 6.1</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.7 <u>Rights of Contribution</u>. The Guarantors and the Borrower agree that, in connection with payments made hereunder, each of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, shall have contribution rights against each other as permitted under applicable law. Such contribution rights shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the obligations of the Guarantors and the Borrower under the Loan Documents and neither the Guarantors nor the Borrower shall exercise such rights of contribution until Full Payment of the Obligations.

Except as provided in the paragraph below with respect to Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, the amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date shall be:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii. the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and in respect of Indebtedness
of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of: (A) the Fair Market Value of such assets
at the date of determination; and (B) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

For purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, the Dollar-equivalent principal amount of such Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date that such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; <u>provided</u> that (i) the Dollar-equivalent principal amount of any such Indebtedness outstanding on the Agreement Date shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the Agreement Date, (ii) if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency (or in a different currency from such Indebtedness so being incurred), and such refinancing would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness, calculated as described in the following sentence, does not exceed (x) the outstanding or committed principal amount (whichever is higher) of such Indebtedness being refinanced <u>plus</u> (y) the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing and (iii) the Dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency and incurred pursuant to a Credit Facility shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on, at the Borrower's option, (1) the Agreement Date, (2) any date on which any of the respective commitments under such Credit Facility shall be reallocated between or among facilities or subfacilities thereunder, or on which such rate is otherwise calculated for any purpose thereunder or (3) the date of such incurrence. The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.3 <u>Limitation on Liens</u>. Neither the Borrower nor any of the Restricted Subsidiaries shall create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind on any of their respective properties or assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, except for Permitted Liens.

For purposes of determining compliance with this <u>Section 9.3</u>, (x) a Lien need not be incurred solely by reference to one category of Permitted Liens but may be incurred under any combination of such categories (including in part under one such category and in part under any other such category), (y) in the event that a Lien (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of such categories of Permitted Liens, the Borrower shall, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify such Lien (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with the definition of "Permitted Liens", and (z) in the event that a portion of Indebtedness secured by a Lien could be classified as secured in part pursuant to <u>clause (ee)</u> of the definition of "Permitted Liens" (giving effect to the incurrence of such portion of such Indebtedness), the Borrower, in its sole discretion, may classify such portion of such Indebtedness (and any obligations in respect thereof) as having been secured pursuant to <u>clause (ee)</u> and thereafter the remainder of such Indebtedness as having been secured pursuant to one or more of the other clauses of this definition; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the amount of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to a Credit Facility that is permitted to be secured by a Lien pursuant to <u>clause (c)</u> of the definition of "Permitted Liens" shall be reduced (not below zero) by the amount of any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to a Credit Facility secured by a Lien that the Borrower classifies as having been incurred pursuant to <u>clause (ee)</u> of the definition of "Permitted Liens". In addition, with respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.4 <u>Mergers, Consolidations or Sales of All or Substantially All Assets</u>. Neither the Borrower nor any of the Restricted Subsidiaries shall merge into, or consolidate or amalgamate with, any other Person (or permit any other Person to merge into or consolidate or amalgamate with it), or sell, assign, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties and assets as an entirety to, any Person or Persons, except:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) any Obligor or any Restricted Subsidiary may be merged or amalgamated with or into (w) any Obligor, (x) any other Person that is domiciled and is resident in the same country as such Obligor or Restricted Subsidiary or (y) any other Person if the Person formed by or surviving such merger, consolidation or amalgamation is domiciled and is resident in the same country as such Obligor or Restricted Subsidiary; <u>provided</u> that (I) if the Borrower is involved in such merger, consolidation or amalgamation, the continuing or surviving Person shall be (1) the Borrower or (2) a Person organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia, and such Person expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents pursuant to a supplement or joinder to the Loan Documents in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, and (II) in the case of such a merger, consolidation or amalgamation involving an Obligor, the continuing or surviving Person shall be an Obligor and (except to the extent such continuing or surviving Person is Holdings) a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower (and, to the extent such continuing or surviving Person was not an Obligor prior to such merger, consolidation or amalgamation, it shall expressly assume all obligations as an Obligor under the Loan Documents pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Agent);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) any Obligor may sell, assign, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties and assets as an entirety to any Person if the Person to which the properties and assets of such Obligor are transferred, to the extent it was not an Obligor prior to such transfer, (i) is an entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and (ii) expressly assumes all obligations of such Obligor under the Loan Documents pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Agent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) any Restricted Subsidiary that is not an Obligor may be merged or amalgamated with or into any other Restricted Subsidiary that is not an Obligor, or all or substantially all of its business, property or assets may be conveyed, sold, leased, transferred or otherwise disposed of, in one transaction or a series of transactions, to any other Restricted Subsidiary that is not an Obligor; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary may sell, assign, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets in any transaction or series of transactions if such transaction or series of transactions would not result in a sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Borrower or the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as whole, to any other Person or Persons.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.5 <u>Suspension of Covenant</u>. <u>(a) During any period of time that:</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;(i) the Borrower has Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies in respect of the Borrower's public corporate credit rating or public corporate family rating, as applicable, 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) no Default has occurred and is continuing (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clause (i) and this clause (ii) being collectively referred to as a "<u>Covenant Suspension Event</u>"), the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to Section 9.1 of this Agreement (the "<u>Suspended Covenant</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In the event that the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenant for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the "<u>Reversion Date</u>") one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw such Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the public corporate credit rating or public corporate family rating, as applicable, assigned to the Borrower below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenant with respect to future events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The period of time between the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event and the Reversion Date is referred to in this Agreement as the "<u>Suspension Period</u>". With respect to Restricted Payments made after the Reversion Date, the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments shall be calculated as though Section 9.1 had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenant may be reinstated, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of any failure to comply with the Suspended Covenant during any Suspension Period and the Borrower and any Restricted Subsidiary shall be permitted, following a Reversion Date, without causing a Default or Event of Default or breach of the Suspended Covenant (notwithstanding the reinstatement thereof), to honor, comply with or otherwise perform any contractual commitments or obligations entered into during a Suspension Period following a Reversion Date and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Borrower shall give the Agent prompt written notice of any Covenant Suspension Event. The Borrower shall also give the Agent prompt written notice of any occurrence of a Reversion Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent shall have no obligation to discover or verify the existence or termination of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, amendment or consent shall be effective to increase the obligations or adversely affect the rights of the Agent without the consent of the Agent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Any Lender may, with the written consent of (i) the Agent and (ii) so long as no Specified Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees (<u>provided</u> that (x) no such consent shall be required in connection with any assignment to an Approved Fund or to a Lender or to an Affiliate of a Lender and (y) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof) (each an "<u>Assignee</u>") all, or any ratable part of all, of the Term Loans, the Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, (A) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall be given to the Borrower and the Agent by such Lender and the Assignee; (B) such Lender and its Assignee shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance; (C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent any tax forms required by <u>Section 5.1(f)</u>; and (D) the assignor Lender or Assignee shall pay to the Agent a processing fee in the amount of $3,500; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that the Agent may elect to waive such processing fee in its sole discretion. Except in the case of an assignment to an Approved Fund or to a Lender or to an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Term Loans, all assignments shall be subject to the condition that the amount of Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject to any such assignment shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Agent otherwise consent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) From and after the date that the Agent has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance, the Agent has received any tax forms required by <u>Section 5.1(f)</u> (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the Agent has received payment of the above-referenced processing fee and the Agent has recorded such assignment in the Register as provided in <u>Section 14.19</u> herein, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assignor Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assignor Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assignor Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assignor Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto or the attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien granted by any Obligor to the Agent or any Lender in the applicable Collateral; (ii) such assignor Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Obligor or the performance or observance by any Obligor of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assignor Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such Assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers, including the discretionary rights and incidental powers, as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such Assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Immediately upon satisfaction of the requirements of <u>Section 13.2(a)</u>, this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Term Loans or Commitments arising therefrom. Each Term Loan or Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce the applicable Term Loan or Commitment of the assignor Lender *pro tanto*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions, or other Persons not Affiliates of the Borrower (a "<u>Participant</u>"), in each case that is not a Disqualified Lender, participating interests in any Term Loans, any Commitment of that Lender and the other interests of that Lender (the "<u>Originating Lender</u>") hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that (i) the Originating Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Originating Lender in connection with the Originating Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant has rights to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document except the matters set forth in <u>Sections 13.1(a)(ii)(C)</u> and <u>(D)</u> and <u>Section 13.1(a)(iii)</u>, and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation; except that, if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same limitation as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement. Subject to <u>paragraph (g)</u> of this <u>Section 13.2</u>, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of <u>Sections 5.1</u>, <u>5.2</u> and <u>5.3</u> to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to <u>paragraph (a)</u> of this <u>Section 13.2</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the FRB or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under <u>Section 5.1</u> or <u>5.3</u> than the Originating Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participating interest sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participating interest to such Participant is made with the Borrower's prior written consent and the Borrower expressly waives the benefit of this provision at the time of such sale. A Participant that would be subject to the requirements of <u>Section 5.1(f)</u> if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of <u>Section 5.1</u> unless the Borrower is notified of the participating interest sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with <u>Section 5.1(f)</u> as though it were a Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this <u>Section 13.2</u> or any other provision of this Agreement, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, any Lender may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans and the Commitments under this Agreement to Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries through (i) Dutch auctions open to all Lenders in accordance with the procedures set forth on Exhibit G or (ii) open market purchase on a non-*pro rata* basis, in each case subject to the following limitations; <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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) if the assignee is Holdings or a Subsidiary, upon such assignment, transfer or contribution, the applicable assignee shall automatically be deemed to have contributed or transferred the principal amount of such Term Loans, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Borrower; 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) if the assignee is the Borrower (including through contribution or transfers set forth in <u>clause (i)</u> above), (x) the principal amount of such Term Loans, along with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, so contributed, assigned or transferred to the Borrower shall be deemed automatically cancelled and extinguished on the date of such contribution, assignment or transfer, and (y) the Borrower shall promptly provide notice to the Agent of such contribution, assignment or transfer of such Term Loans, and the Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable Term Loans in the Register.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) (i) No assignment or, to the extent the DQ List has been posted on the Platform for all Lenders, participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Lender as of the date (the "<u>Trade Date</u>") on which the applicable Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign or participate all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Borrower has consented to such assignment as otherwise contemplated by this <u>Section 13.2</u>, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Lender for the purpose of such assignment). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee or participant that becomes a Disqualified Lender after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of "Disqualified Lender"), (x) such assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender or participant and (y) the execution by the Borrower of an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Lender. The rights and remedies against a Disqualified Lender under this <u>Section 13.2</u> are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrower may have against such Disqualified Lender, and nothing in this Section 13.2 limits any rights and remedies the Borrower may have against any Lender that made an assignment to a Disqualified 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) If any assignment is made to any Disqualified Lender without the Borrower's prior consent in violation of <u>clause (i)</u> above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Lender after the applicable Trade Date, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Lender and the Agent, (A) in the case of outstanding Term Loans held by such Disqualified Lender, prepay such Term Loans by paying the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such Term Loans, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and/or (B) require such Disqualified Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this <u>Section 13.2</u>), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement and related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and other the other Loan Documents; <u>provided</u> that (1) the Borrower shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in <u>Section 13.2(a)</u> and (2) such assignment does not conflict 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Lenders (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrower, the Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Lender will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Lenders consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws ("<u>Plan of Reorganization</u>"), each Disqualified Lender party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Plan of Reorganization, (2) if such Disqualified Lender does vote on such Plan of Reorganization notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be "designated" pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Plan of Reorganization in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the applicable court of competent jurisdiction effectuating the foregoing <u>clause (2)</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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) The Agent shall have the right, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Lenders provided by the Borrower and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the "<u>DQ List</u>") on the Platform, including that portion of the Platform that is designated for "public side" Lenders or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same.

**ARTICLE XIV**

**THE AGENT**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.1 <u>Appointment and Authorization</u>. (a) Each Lender hereby designates and appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this <u>ARTICLE XIV</u>. The provisions of this <u>ARTICLE XIV</u> (other than <u>Sections 14.9, 14.11</u>, <u>14.15</u> and <u>14.16</u>) are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Obligor shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term "agent" in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (or any other similar term) with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Laws. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions which the Agent is expressly entitled to take or assert under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the exercise of remedies pursuant to <u>Section 11.2</u>, and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by the Lenders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Lenders hereby agree that the Agent shall also act as the "collateral agent" under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Obligors to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Agent, as "collateral agent" and any sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Agent pursuant to <u>Section 14.2</u> for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this <u>Article XIV</u> and <u>Article XV</u>, as though such sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the "collateral agent" under the Loan Documents, as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.2 <u>Delegation of Duties</u>. The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent or attorney-in-fact may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article XIV shall apply to any such sub-agent or attorney-in-fact and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent or attorney-in-fact, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.3 <u>Exculpatory Provisions</u> 14.4. Neither the Agent nor any Arranger, as applicable, shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the Agent or any Arranger, as applicable, or their respective Related Parties:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), <u>provided</u> that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) shall have any duty or responsibility to disclose, or shall be liable for the failure to disclose, to any Lender, any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Obligors or any of their Affiliates, that is communicated to, obtained or in the possession of, the Agent, any Arranger or any of their respective Related Parties in any capacity, except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent herein;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by the Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in <u>Sections 13.1</u> and <u>11.1</u>) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) shall be responsible for or have any duty or obligation to any Lender or participant or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in <u>Article IV</u> or elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) shall be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions of this Agreement relating to Disqualified Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall not ‎(i) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified ‎Institution or (ii) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Term Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any ‎Disqualified Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.4 <u>Reliance by Agent</u>. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, shall not incur any liability for relying upon, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, request, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement, instrument or other document or conversation (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, made or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person or Persons. The 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. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or all Lenders if so required by <u>Section 13.1</u>) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Obligor), 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.5 <u>Notice of Default</u>. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless the Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default." The Agent will notify the Lenders of their receipt of any such notice. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with <u>ARTICLE XI</u>; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that unless and until the Agent has received any such request, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as they shall deem advisable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.6 <u>Credit Decision</u> 14.7. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that none of the Agent or any Arranger or any of their respective Related Parties has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Agent or any Arranger hereafter taken, including any consent to, and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Obligor of any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent or any Arranger to any Lender as to any matter, including whether the Agent or any Arranger have disclosed material information in their (or their respective Related Parties') possession. Each Lender represents to the Agent and the Arrangers that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any Arranger, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of, appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Obligors and their Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any Arranger, 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 credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Obligors. Each Lender represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility and (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course and is entering into this Agreement as a Lender for the purpose of making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument, and each Lender agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing. Each Lender represents and warrants that 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, 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.7 <u>Indemnification</u>. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities as such term is defined in <u>Section 15.10</u>; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to such Agent-Related Persons of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such portion of such Indemnified Liabilities is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from such Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall ratably reimburse the Agent upon demand for its share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the 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 Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this <u>Section 14.7</u> shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.8 <u>Agent in Individual Capacity</u>. The Person serving as the Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in or other securities of and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Obligors and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. Such Person and its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Obligors and their Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Obligors or such Affiliates) and the Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Agent and its Affiliates shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. The Person serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.9 <u>Successor Agent</u>. The Agent may resign as Agent upon at least thirty (30) days' prior notice to the Lenders and the Borrower, such resignation to be effective at the end of such thirty (30) day period (or such earlier date on which a successor agent shall have accepted its appointment or as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders). Subject to the foregoing, if the Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders (with the prior consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld and such consent not to be required if a Specified Default has occurred and is continuing) shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be a Lender and a commercial bank, commercial finance company or other asset based lender having total assets in excess of $5,000,000,000. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Agent, the Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Agent's appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this <u>ARTICLE XIV</u> and <u>Section 15.10</u> shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.10 <u>Withholding Tax</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding Tax, the Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding Tax after taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other documentation required by <u>Section 5.1(f)</u> are not delivered to the Agent and the Borrower, then the Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding Tax.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States of America or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Agent as Tax or otherwise, including, for the avoidance of doubt, penalties and interest, and including any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Agent under this Section, together with all costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs). The obligation of the Lenders under this subsection shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.11 <u>Collateral Matters</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent (and, if applicable, any sub-agent or attorney-in-fact appointed by the Agent under <u>Section 14.2</u> or otherwise), and the Agent (and, if applicable, any sub-agent or attorney-in-fact appointed by the Agent under <u>Section 14.2</u> or otherwise) shall hereby have the obligation to release, subject to the satisfaction of any conditions to release (if any) set forth herein, including the continuance of the applicable Agent's Lien on any proceeds of released Collateral, any such Agent's Liens upon any Collateral (i) upon Full Payment of the Obligations; (ii) constituting property being sold, transferred or disposed of (to any Person that is not an Obligor), if the sale, transfer or disposition is made in compliance with this Agreement (which shall, upon reasonable request by the Agent, be certified by the Borrower, and the Agent may rely conclusively on any such certification without further inquiry; <u>provided</u> that no certification shall be required at any time with respect to any sales of items of rental equipment in the ordinary course of business so long as such Agent's Lien continues in the proceeds of such Collateral); (iii) constituting property in which the Obligors owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; (iv) constituting property leased to an Obligor under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement; (v) constituting Relinquished Property, if such Relinquished Property shall have been delivered to the applicable Qualified Intermediary in accordance with the applicable exchange agreement and a first priority perfected security interest shall have been granted by the applicable exchanger to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties of a first priority perfected security interest in the rights of such exchanger in, to and under the related exchange agreement; (vi) constituting any Like-Kind Exchange Account; (vii) constituting property being sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred pursuant to any Securitization Transaction; (viii) being or becoming an Excluded Asset (as defined in the Security Agreement); or (ix) constituting property that is owned by a Guarantor that has been released from its obligations under <u>ARTICLE VI</u> or pursuant to this <u>Section 14.11</u>. Except as provided above or in <u>Section 13.1</u>, the Agent will not release any of such Agent's Liens without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders; <u>provided</u> that, in addition to the foregoing, the Agent may, in its discretion, release such Agent's Liens on Collateral valued, in the aggregate for any such release, not in excess of the greater of (x) $747,550,000 and (y) 5.0% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In addition, the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent to (i) subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by <u>clause (o)</u> of the definition of "Permitted Liens" and (ii) release any Guarantor from its obligations under <u>ARTICLE VI</u> (x) if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary or (y) as provided in <u>Section 13.1</u>. Upon request by the Agent or the Borrower at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent's authority to release or subordinate the applicable Agent's Liens upon particular types or items of Collateral, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations pursuant to this <u>Section 14.11(b)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Upon receipt by the Agent of any authorization required pursuant to <u>Sections 14.11(a)</u> or <u>14.11(b)</u> from the Required Lenders of the Agent's authority to release or subordinate the applicable Agent's Liens upon particular types or items of Collateral, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under <u>ARTICLE VI</u>, and upon prior written request by the Borrower, the Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of such Agent's Liens upon such Collateral or to subordinate its interest therein, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under <u>ARTICLE VI</u>; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that (i) the Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Agent's opinion, would expose the Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens or Guarantee without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Obligors in respect of) all interests retained by the Obligors, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of such Collateral.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Obligors or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that the applicable Agent's Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Agent's own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that the Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.12 <u>Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of the Required Lenders, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of the Required Lenders, set-off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to any Obligor or any accounts of any Obligor now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by the Agent, take or cause to be taken any action to enforce its rights under this Agreement or against any Obligor, including the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the applicable Collateral.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, if at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations of any Obligor to such Lender arising under, or relating to, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from the Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from the Agent in excess of such Lender's ratable portion of all such distributions by the Agent, such Lender shall promptly (A) turn the same over to the Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Agent, or in same day funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (B) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.13 <u>Agency for Perfection</u>. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting the Lenders' security interest in assets which, in accordance with the UCC or under other applicable law, as applicable may be perfected by possession. Should any Lender (other than the Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Agent's request therefor, shall deliver such Collateral to the Agent or in accordance with the Agent's instructions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.14 <u>Payments by Agent to Lenders</u>. All payments to be made by the Agent to the applicable Lenders shall be made by bank wire transfer or internal transfer of immediately available funds to each such Lender pursuant to wire transfer instructions delivered in writing to the Agent on or prior to the Agreement Date (or if such Lender is an Assignee, on the applicable Assignment and Acceptance), or pursuant to such other wire transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to the Agent. Concurrently with each such payment, the Agent shall identify whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents principal, interest or fees on the Term Loans or otherwise. Unless the Agent receives notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that the Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when required, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date in immediately available funds and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each such Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower has not made such payment in full to the Agent, each applicable Lender shall repay to the Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.15 <u>Defaulting Lenders</u>. All Term Loans shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares thereof. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any applicable Term Loans hereunder, nor shall any applicable Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Term Loans hereunder, (ii) no failure by any Lender to perform its obligation to make any Term Loans hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligation to make any Term Loans hereunder, and (iii) the obligations of each Lender hereunder shall be several, not joint and several.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Unless the Agent receives notice from a Lender on or prior to the Agreement Date or, with respect to any Borrowing after the Agreement Date, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to the Agent that Lender's Pro Rata Share of a Borrowing, the Agent may assume that each such Lender has made such amount available to the Agent in immediately available funds on the Funding Date. Furthermore, the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If any Lender has not transferred its full Pro Rata Share to the Agent in immediately available funds, and the Agent has transferred the corresponding amount to the Borrower, on the Business Day following such Funding Date such Lender shall make such amount available to the Agent, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for that day. A notice by the Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to amounts owing shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If each Lender's full Pro Rata Share is transferred to the Agent as required, the amount transferred to the Agent shall constitute that Lender's applicable Term Loan for all purposes of this Agreement. If that amount is not transferred to the Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date, the Agent will notify the Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by the Agent, the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Agent for the Agent's account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate applicable at the time to the applicable Term Loans comprising that particular Borrowing. The failure of any Lender to make any applicable Term Loan on any Funding Date shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make an applicable Term Loan on that Funding Date. No Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender's failure to advance such other Lender's Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything contained in 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) in determining the Required Lenders, any Lender that at the time is a Defaulting Lender (and the Term Loans and/or Commitment of such Defaulting Lender) shall be excluded and disregarded;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) the Borrower shall have the right, at its sole expense and effort, (A) to seek one or more Persons reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Borrower to each become a substitute Lender and assume all or part of the outstanding Term Loans and Commitments of any Defaulting Lender and the Borrower, the Agent and any such substitute Lender shall execute and deliver, and such Defaulting Lender shall thereupon be deemed to have executed and delivered, an appropriately completed Assignment and Acceptance to effect such substitution or (B) upon notice to the Agent, to prepay the Term Loans and, at the Borrower's option, terminate any outstanding Commitments of such Defaulting Lender, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty; 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to <u>Section 14.12(b)</u>) may, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account and, subject to any applicable Requirement of Law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent <u>first</u>, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder, <u>second</u>, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, <u>third</u>, *pro rata*, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement and <u>fourth</u>, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; <u>provided</u> that if such payment is a prepayment of the principal amount of any Term Loans in respect of which a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Term Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders *pro rata* prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Term Loans of any Defaulting Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this <u>Section 14.15</u> are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrower, the Agent and the non-Defaulting Lenders may have against such Defaulting Lender. The arrangements permitted or required by this <u>Section 14.15</u> shall be permitted under this Agreement, notwithstanding any limitation on Liens or the *pro rata* sharing provisions or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.16 <u>Concerning the Collateral and the Related Loan Documents</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into the other Loan Documents, including any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, for the ratable benefit and obligation of the Agent and the Lenders. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable, of their respective powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that the Term Loans and all interest, fees and expenses hereunder constitute one Indebtedness, secured *pari passu* by all of the applicable Collateral, subject to the order of distribution set forth in <u>Section 4.4</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into (i) the Security Documents, (ii) any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, (iii) any amendments to, waivers of or supplements to or other modifications of the Security Documents or any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, in each case with respect to the preceding <u>clauses (i)</u>, <u>(ii)</u> and <u>(iii)</u>, in connection with the incurrence by any Obligor of Incremental Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans or other Indebtedness secured by a Permitted Lien (each, an "<u>Intercreditor Agreement Supplement</u>") to permit such Incremental Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans, or other Indebtedness to be secured by a valid, perfected Lien on Collateral (with such priority as may be designated by the relevant Obligor, as and to the extent such priority is permitted by the Loan Documents) (it being agreed that any Lien securing such Indebtedness (other than Incremental Term Loans and Refinancing Term Loans) shall be granted pursuant to security documents separate from the Security Documents) and (iv) any Incremental Term Amendment, Extension Amendment or Refinancing Amendment as provided in <u>Sections 2.2</u>, <u>2.3</u> and <u>2.4</u>, respectively, and any amendment as provided in <u>Section 1.2(b)</u>. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Agent or the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Security Documents, any applicable intercreditor agreement, including any applicable Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, any Intercreditor Agreement Supplement, any Incremental Term Amendment, any Extension Amendment or any Refinancing Amendment and the exercise by the Agent or the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.17 <u>Relation Among Lenders</u>. The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in the case of the Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.18 <u>Arrangers</u>. Each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledges that, other than any rights and duties explicitly assigned to the Arrangers under this Agreement, the Arrangers do not have any obligations hereunder and shall not be responsible or accountable to any other party hereto for any action or failure to act hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, no Arranger shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on the Arrangers in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.19 <u>The Register</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Agent shall maintain a register (each, a "<u>Register</u>"), which shall include a master account and a subsidiary account for each applicable Lender and in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of each Term Loan comprising such Borrowing and any Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the effective date and amount of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and the parties thereto, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent from the Borrower or any other Obligor and each Lender's ratable share thereof. Each Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any applicable Lender (with respect to its own interest only) at the respective offices of the Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Any failure of the Agent to record in the applicable Register, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder (or under any Loan Document) to pay any amount owing with respect to the Term Loans or provide the basis for any claim against the Agent. The Obligations are registered obligations and the right, title and interest of any Lender and their assignees in and to such Obligations shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the applicable Register. Solely for purposes of this <u>Section 14.19</u> and for Tax purposes only, the Agent shall be the Borrower's agent for purposes of maintaining the applicable Register (but the Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to the Borrower or any other Person on account of any inaccuracies contained in the applicable Register). This <u>Section 14.19</u> shall be construed so that the Obligations are at all times maintained in "registered form" within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (and any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or such regulations).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In the event that any Lender sells participations in any Term Loan, Commitment or other interest of such Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, such Lender shall maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Obligations held by it and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of the Obligations which is the subject of the participation (the "<u>Participant Register</u>"). An Obligation may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each note shall expressly so provide). Any participation of such Obligations may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register. The Participant Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.20 <u>The Platform</u>(a). THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". THE AGENT-RELATED PERSONS DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT-RELATED PERSON IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall any Agent-Related Person have any liability to Holdings, the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower's, any Obligor's or the Agent's transmission of Borrower Materials or notices through the Platform, any other electronic platform or electronic messaging service, or through the internet, except to the extent the liability of any Agent-Related Person is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Agent-Related Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.21 <u>Certain ERISA Matters</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any Guarantor, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) such Lender is not using "plan assets" (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Plans with respect to such Lender's entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Term Loans the Commitments or this Agreement,

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a "Qualified Professional Asset Manager" (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Term Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Term Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender's entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Term Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Obligor, that the Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender's entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Term Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.22 <u>Recovery of Erroneous Payments</u> 14.23. Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at any time the Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Lender, whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by the Borrower at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each Lender receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Lender in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Lender irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any "discharge for value" (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. The Agent shall inform each Lender promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Lender comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount.

No waiver by the Agent or any Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by the Agent or the Lenders on any occasion shall affect or diminish the Agent's and each Lender's rights thereafter to require strict performance by the Obligors of any provision of this Agreement. The Agent and the Lenders may proceed directly to collect the Obligations without any prior recourse to the Collateral. The Agent's and each Lender's rights under this Agreement will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which the Agent or any Lender may have.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.9 <u>Binding Effect</u>. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that no interest herein may be assigned (except pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted hereunder) by the Borrower or any Guarantor without prior written consent of the Agent and each Lender. The rights and benefits of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder shall, if such Persons so agree, inure to any party acquiring any interest in the Obligations or any part thereof in accordance with the terms hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.10 <u>Indemnity of the Agent and the Lenders</u>. The Obligors agree to defend, indemnify and hold all Agent-Related Persons, each Arranger and each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, counsel, representatives, agents and attorneys-in-fact (each, an "<u>Indemnified Person</u>") harmless from and against (and will reimburse each Indemnified Person as the same are incurred for) any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits (whether brought by the Borrower or any other Person), costs, charges, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs and reasonable legal costs and expenses of the Lenders for one law firm retained by such Lenders (and, in the event of any conflict of interest among Lenders, one additional law firm in each relevant jurisdiction for Lenders subject to such conflict)) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following repayment of the Term Loans and the termination, resignation or replacement of the Agent or replacement of any Lender) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted or awarded against any such Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, or the transactions contemplated hereby, or directly or indirectly arising out of the use, generation, manufacture, production, storage, release, threatened release, discharge, disposal or presence of a Contaminant relating to the Borrower's, any Guarantor's or any of their Subsidiaries' operations, business or property, or any action taken or omitted by any such Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing, including, with respect to any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith (including any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings, and any appellate proceeding) related to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or the Term Loans or the use of the proceeds thereof, whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the "<u>Indemnified Liabilities</u>"); <u>provided</u> that the Obligors shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Person with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities (i) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith (including any breach of this Agreement constituting bad faith) or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person (or any Related Party thereof), (ii) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Obligor against such Indemnified Person for a material breach of any of the Loan Documents by such Indemnified Person (or any Related Party thereof), if the Borrower or such Obligor has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (iii) result from claims of any Indemnified Person (or any Related Party thereof) solely against one or more Indemnified Persons (or any Related Party thereof) or disputes between or among Indemnified Persons (or any Related Party thereof), in each case, except to the extent such claim is determined to have been caused by an act or omission by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or such dispute involves the Agent or any Arranger in its capacity as such. No Obligor shall, without the prior written consent of the affected Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action, suit, investigation, litigation or proceeding against such Indemnified Person in respect of which indemnity could have been sought under this <u>Section 5.10</u> by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (a) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit, investigation, litigation or proceeding and (b) does not include any statement as to any admission of fault or culpability by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person. The agreements in this Section shall survive payment of all other Obligations. The Obligors shall not be liable to any Indemnified Person for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Loan Documents; provided that this sentence shall not limit the Obligors' indemnification obligations as set forth in this <u>Section 15.10</u> to the extent such special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages are in any third party claim with respect to which an Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.11 <u>WAIVER OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, ETC</u>. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE OBLIGORS SHALL NOT ASSERT, AND HEREBY WAIVE, AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NO OTHER PERSON SHALL HAVE, ANY CLAIM AGAINST ANY INDEMNIFIED PERSON, ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (AS OPPOSED TO DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES) ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF, THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, ANY TERM LOAN OR THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREOF. NO INDEMNIFIED PERSON REFERRED TO IN <u>SECTION 15.10</u> SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE BY UNINTENDED RECIPIENTS OF ANY INFORMATION OR OTHER MATERIALS DISTRIBUTED TO SUCH UNINTENDED RECIPIENTS BY SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON THROUGH TELECOMMUNICATIONS, ELECTRONIC OR OTHER INFORMATION TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (OTHER THAN FOR DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE BAD FAITH, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON AS FOUND BY A FINAL, NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT OF A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION), IT BEING UNDERSTOOD THAT THE USE OF ELECTRONIC TELECOMMUNICATIONS OR OTHER INFORMATION TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS WILL NOT ITSELF CONSTITUTE BAD FAITH, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.12 <u>Final Agreement</u>. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are intended by the Obligors, the Agent and the Lenders to be the final, complete, and exclusive expression of the agreement between them relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes any and all prior oral or written agreements relating to the subject matter hereof except for the Fee Letters.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.13 <u>Electronic Execution; Electronic Records; Counterparts</u> 15.14. This Agreement, any Loan Document and any other Communication, including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. Each of the Obligors, the Agent and each Lender agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on such Person to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. The Agent and each of the Lenders may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record ("<u>Electronic Copy</u>"), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person's business, and destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Agent is not under any obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by such Person pursuant to procedures approved by it; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Agent has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Agent and each of the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf the Borrower or Holdings and/or any Lender without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart.

The Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Agent's reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means). The Agent shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any Communication (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution or signed using an Electronic Signature) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof).

Each Obligor and each Lender hereby waives (i) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document, and (ii) any claim against the Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates for any liabilities arising solely from the Agent's and/or any Lender's reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures, including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Obligors to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.14 <u>Captions</u>. The captions contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, are without substantive meaning and should not be construed to modify, enlarge, or restrict any provision.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.15 <u>Right of Setoff</u>. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, if an Event of Default exists or the Term Loans have been accelerated, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any Guarantor, any such notice being waived by each Obligor to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender or any Affiliate of such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any Guarantor against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE ANY RIGHT OF SET-OFF, BANKER'S LIEN OR THE LIKE AGAINST ANY DEPOSIT ACCOUNT OR PROPERTY OF THE BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR HELD OR MAINTAINED BY SUCH LENDER WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.16 <u>Confidentiality</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Agent and each Lender may, in each case with the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), issue and disseminate to the public general information describing the credit accommodation entered into pursuant to this Agreement, including the name and address of the Borrower and a general description of the Borrower's and the Guarantors' business and may use the Borrower's and the Guarantors' names in advertising and other promotional material.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each Lender and the Agent severally agrees to keep confidential all information relating to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (x) provided to the Agent or such Lender by or on behalf of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (y) obtained by the Agent or such Lender based on a review of the books and records of Holding or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent that such information (i) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Agent or such Lender or any Affiliates thereof, or (ii) was or becomes available on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or the Guarantors other than by breach of this <u>Section 15.16</u>, <u>provided</u> that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Borrower or the Guarantors known to the Agent or such Lender; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Agent and any Lender may disclose such information (in the case of <u>clauses (A)</u> through <u>(I)</u> below, except for any routine examination by any Governmental Authority or regulatory authority, after notice to the Borrower, unless such notice is prohibited by applicable law) (A) at the request or pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Authority or regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory authority) to which the Agent or such Lender is subject or in connection with an examination of the Agent or such Lender by any such Governmental Authority or regulatory authority; (B) pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (C) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law; (D) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation or proceeding (including, but not limited to, any bankruptcy proceeding) to which the Agent, any Lender or their respective Affiliates may be party; (E) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (F) to the Agent's or any of its Affiliate's or such Lender's or any of its Affiliate's employees, directors, officers, independent auditors, accountants, attorneys, or other professional advisors and service providers (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and shall agree to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder); (G) to any prospective Participant or Assignee under any Assignment and Acceptance, actual or potential, <u>provided</u> that such prospective Participant or Assignee agrees to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder; (H) as expressly permitted under the terms of any other document or agreement regarding confidentiality to which the Borrower or a Guarantor is a party or is deemed a party with the Agent or such Lender; and (I) to its Affiliates (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and shall agree to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder). In addition, the Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information contained in this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Term Loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.17 <u>Conflicts with Other Loan Documents</u>. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (or in another Loan Document by specific reference to the applicable provision contained in this Agreement), if any provision contained in this Agreement conflicts with any provision of any other Loan Document, the provision contained in this Agreement shall govern and control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.18 <u>No Fiduciary Relationship</u>. Each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that, in connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Obligors, on the one hand, and Bank of America, the Arrangers, the Lenders and each of their Affiliates through which they may be acting (collectively, the "<u>Applicable Entities</u>"), on the other hand, have an arms-length business relationship that creates no fiduciary duty on the part of any Applicable Entity, and each Obligor expressly disclaims any fiduciary relationship.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.19 <u>Judgment Currency</u>. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert an amount due hereunder in the currency in which it is due (the "<u>Original Currency</u>") into another currency (the "<u>Second Currency</u>"), the rate of exchange applied shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the Agent could purchase in the New York foreign exchange market, the Original Currency with the Second Currency on the date two (2) Business Days preceding that on which judgment is given. Each Obligor agrees that its obligation in respect of any Original Currency due from it hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment or payment in such other currency, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following the date the Agent receives payment of any sum so adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency, the Agent may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase, in the New York foreign exchange market, the Original Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so paid; and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased or could have been so purchased is less than the amount originally due in the Original Currency, each Obligor agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such payment or judgment to indemnify the Agent against such loss. The term "rate of exchange" in this <u>Section 15.19</u> means the spot rate at which the Agent, in accordance with normal practices, is able on the relevant date to purchase the Original Currency with the Second Currency, and includes any premium and costs of exchange payable in connection with such purchase.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.20 <u>Incremental Term Loans; Extended Term Loans; Refinancing Term Commitments and Refinancing Term Loans; Additional First Lien Debt</u>. In connection with the incurrence by the Borrower of any Incremental Term Loans, Extended Term Loans, Refinancing Term Commitments or Refinancing Term Loans, the Agent agrees to execute and deliver any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to, any Security Document or intercreditor agreement, and to make or consent to any filings or take any other actions in connection therewith, as may be reasonably deemed by Holdings to be necessary or reasonably desirable for any Lien on the assets of any Obligor permitted to secure such Incremental Term Loans, Extended Term Loans, Refinancing Term Commitments or Refinancing Term Loans to become a valid, perfected lien (with such priority as may be designated by the relevant Obligor, to the extent such priority is permitted by the Loan Documents) pursuant to the Security Document being so amended, amended and restated, restated, waived, supplemented or otherwise modified or otherwise.

In connection with the incurrence by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Indebtedness that is intended to be secured on a *pari passu* basis, upon the written request of the Borrower, the Agent agrees to provide written consent to the Borrower with respect to the designation of such Indebtedness as "Additional First Lien Debt" (or any similar term) under any applicable Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, so long as (x) the Liens securing such Indebtedness are permitted pursuant to <u>clause (c)</u>, (dd) or <u>(ee)</u> of the definition of "Permitted Liens" and (y) the Agent shall have received an officer's certificate from the Borrower designating such Indebtedness as "Additional First Lien Debt" (or any similar term) under such Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and certifying that such Indebtedness is "Additional First Lien Obligations" (or any similar term) under such Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement permitted to be so incurred in accordance with each of the First Lien Documents and each of the Second Lien Documents (or any similar term) (as defined in such Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.21 <u>Lenders</u>. Each Lender (a) severally represents and warrants that, as of the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, such Lender (i) is a United States person for purposes of the Code or (ii) has complied with the provisions of <u>Section 5.1(f)</u>, and (b) covenants and agrees that at all material times such Lender will (i) continue to be a United States person for purposes of the Code or (ii) continue to comply will the ongoing requirements of <u>Section 5.1(f)</u>. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing upon becoming aware that it is not in compliance with this <u>Section 15.21</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.22 <u>KYC Information</u>. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and Bank of America hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the "<u>Act</u>"), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Obligor, which information includes the name and address of each Obligor and other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify each Obligor in accordance with the Act. The Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation or other applicable "know your customer" and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.23 <u>Acknowledgment 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 such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any party hereto that is an 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: (a) 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 (b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.24 <u>Waiver of Notices</u>. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, each Obligor waives presentment, and notice of demand or dishonor and protest as to any instrument, notice of intent to accelerate the Obligations and notice of acceleration of the Obligations, as well as any and all other notices to which it might otherwise be entitled. No notice to or demand on any Obligor which the Agent or any applicable Lender may elect to give shall entitle any Obligor to any or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.25 <u>Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs</u> To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Hedge Agreement 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 acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the "<u>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 United States or any other state of the United States):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) 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 United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) As used in this <u>Section 15.25</u>, the following terms have the following meanings:

"<u>BHC Act Affiliate</u>" of a party means an "affiliate" (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

"<u>Covered Entity</u>" means any of the following: (i) a "covered entity" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a "covered bank" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a "covered FSI" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

"<u>Default Right</u>" has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

"<u>QFC</u>" has the meaning assigned to the term "qualified financial contract" in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).
