Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Company has requested certain modifications to the Existing Credit Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Lenders are willing to make such modifications pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, the terms and conditions contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent hereby agree as follows.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)This Amendment and the Credit Agreement constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of such Borrower enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)There exists no Event of Default, nor will an Event of Default immediately result from the modifications contemplated hereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The representations and warranties contained in Article V of the Credit Agreement are (x) with respect to any representations or warranties that contain a materiality qualifier, true and correct in all respects (after giving effect to such qualifier) and (y) with respect to any <br>

SECTION 3.<u>Conditions Precedent</u>. The effectiveness of this Amendment is subject to the conditions precedent that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this Amendment duly executed by the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the LC Issuer, and the Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary (or equivalent officer) of each Loan Party certifying (i) that there have been no changes in the charter document of such Loan Party, as attached thereto and as certified as of a recent date by the Secretary of State or similar governmental official or entity of the jurisdiction of its organization, since the date of the certification thereof by such governmental official or entity, (ii) the by-laws or similar organizational documents, as attached thereto, of such Loan Party as in effect on the date of such certification, (iii) resolutions or similar consents of the board of directors or similar governing body of such Loan Party authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment, (iv) a good standing certificate (or similar certification, if available) for such Loan Party from the Secretary of State or similar governmental official or entity of the jurisdiction of its organization, and (v) the names and true signatures of the incumbent officers of such Loan Party authorized to sign the Amendment and other Loan Documents to which it is a party and, if applicable, authorized to request an Advance or the issuance of a Facility LC under the Credit Agreement, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

------

For purposes of determining whether the conditions specified in this Section 3 have been satisfied on the date hereof, the Administrative Agent and each other party hereto shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted, or to be satisfied with, each document, condition or other matter required hereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each other party hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, this Amendment is effective on and as of the Effective Date.

SECTION 4.<u>General</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Expenses</u>. The Company agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, actual reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of outside counsel to the Administrative Agent, in connection with preparation, negotiation and execution of this Amendment and any other document required to be furnished herewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Counterparts</u>. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile or by email as a "<u>.pdf</u>" or "<u>.tif</u>" attachment shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment. The words "execution," "signed," "signature," "delivery," and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Amendment, the documents delivered together herewith, and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; <u>provided</u> that, in respect of documents to be signed by entities established within the European Union, the Electronic Signature qualifies as a "qualified electronic signature" within the meaning of the Regulation (EU) n°910/2014 of the European parliament and of the Council of 23 July 2014 on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transaction in the internal market as amended from time to time and <u>provided</u> that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or format without its prior consent. For purposes hereof, "Electronic Signature" means electronic symbol or process attached to, or associated with, a contract or other record and adopted by a person or entity with the intent to sign, authenticate or accept such contract or record.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Severability</u>. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any provision of this Amendment held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)**<u>GOVERNING LAW</u>. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS) OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS.**

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Successors; Enforceability</u>. The terms and provisions of this Amendment shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders and the successors and assigns of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)<u>Reference to and Effect on the Credit Agreement</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)Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, on and after the date hereof, each reference in the Credit Agreement to "this Agreement," "hereunder," "hereof," "herein" or words of like import shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement, as amended and modified hereby.

&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)Except as specifically amended above, the Existing Credit Agreement and all other documents, instruments and agreements executed and/or delivered in connection therewith (including, without limitation, all of the Loan Documents) shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.

&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)Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other documents, instruments and agreements executed and/or delivered in connection therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)<u>Affirmation</u>. Each Loan Party, by its execution hereof, hereby ratifies and reaffirms its duties and obligations under each Loan Document to which it is a party (after giving effect to (and subject to) the amendments, modifications, assignments, limitations and terminations set forth in this Amendment and <u>Exhibit A</u> hereto), and confirms that each such Loan Document remains in full force and effect and is enforceable against it (in each case after giving effect to (and subject to) the amendments, modifications, assignments, limitations and terminations set forth in this Amendment and <u>Exhibit A</u> hereto), except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)<u>Headings, etc.</u> Section headings in this Amendment are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Amendment and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Amendment.

If at any time (a) the Dollar Amount of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure exceeds the Aggregate Commitment, the Borrowers shall immediately make a payment on the Obligations sufficient to eliminate such excess and the Dollar Amount of the aggregate amount of outstanding Facility LCs (less any amount already held by the Administrative Agent in the Facility LC Collateral Account) exceeds one hundred five percent (105%) of the Facility LC Sublimit, the Borrowers shall immediately pay the Administrative Agent an amount in immediately available funds, which funds shall be held in the Facility LC Collateral Account, equal to the excess of the aggregate amount of outstanding Facility LCs (less any amount already held by the Administrative Agent in the Facility LC Collateral Account) over the Facility LC Sublimit. The Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure and all other unpaid Obligations shall be paid in full by the Borrowers on the Facility Termination Date or, as to Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure as to which there shall have been an Extension, the Extended Termination Date, as the case may be.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company may borrow, repay and reborrow Swing Line Loans at any time prior to the Facility Termination Date. Swing Line Loans shall only be made in Dollars. The making of Swing Line Loans shall be in the discretion of the Swing Line Lender.

Each time that a Swing Line Loan is made by the Swing Line Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4.3, the Swing Line Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably sold to each Lender and each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Swing Line Lender a participation in such Swing Line Loan in proportion to its Pro Rata Share.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4.4<u>Repayment of Swing Line Loans</u>. Each Swing Line Loan shall be paid in full by the Company on the date selected by the Administrative Agent upon at least one (1) Business Day's notice in writing, or by telephone promptly confirmed in writing or by e- mail to the Company. In addition, the Swing Line Lender may at any time in its sole discretion with respect to any outstanding Swing Line Loan, require each Lender to fund the participation acquired by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.4.3 or require each Lender (including the Swing Line Lender) to make <br>a Revolving Loan to the Company in the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such Swing Line Loan (including, without limitation, any interest accrued and unpaid thereon), for the purpose of repaying such Swing Line Loan. Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Central time) on the date of any notice received pursuant to this Section 2.4.4, each Lender shall make available its required Revolving Loan, in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII. Revolving Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.4.4 shall initially be Base Rate Loans and thereafter may be continued as Base Rate Loans or converted into Term SOFR Loans in the manner provided in Section 2.9 and subject to the other conditions and limitations set forth in this Article II. Unless a Lender shall have notified the Swing Line Lender, prior to the Swing Line Lender's making any Swing Line Loan, that any applicable condition precedent set forth in Sections 4.1 or 4.2 had not then been satisfied, such Lender's obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.4.4 to repay Swing Line Loans or to fund the participation acquired pursuant to Section 2.4.3 shall be unconditional, continuing, irrevocable and absolute and shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, (a) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender or any other Person, (b) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, (c) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company, or (d) any other circumstances, happening or event whatsoever.

------

demand and ending on the date such amount is received and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive, retain and apply against such obligation the principal and interest otherwise payable to such Lender hereunder until the Administrative Agent receives such payment from such Lender or such obligation is otherwise fully satisfied. On the Facility Termination Date, the Borrowers shall repay in full the outstanding principal balance of the Swing Line Loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5.<u>Facility Fees</u>. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender according to its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans a facility fee in Dollars (the "<u>Facility Fee</u>") at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Facility Fee Rate on the average daily Aggregate Revolving Commitment from the Amendment No. 8 Effective Date to and including the Facility Termination Date, payable in arrears on each Payment Date hereafter and on the Facility Termination Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.6.<u>Minimum Amount of Each Advance</u>. Each Advance (other than an Advance to repay Swing Line Loans) shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 and incremental amounts in integral multiples of $1,000,000, *provided, however*, that any Revolving Loan Base Rate Advance may be in the amount of the Available Aggregate Revolving Commitment and any Term Loan that is a Base Rate Loan may be in the amount of the Available Aggregate Term Loan Commitment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.7.<u>Reductions in Aggregate Commitment; Optional and Mandatory Principal Payments</u>. (a) The Borrowers may permanently reduce the Revolving Commitment in whole, or in part ratably among the Lenders, in each case, in integral multiples of $50,000,000, upon at least five (5) Business Days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent), which notice shall specify the amount of any such reduction; *provided, however*, that the amount of the Revolving Commitment may not be reduced below the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure and the Term Loan Commitment may not be reduced below the Aggregate Outstanding Term Loan Credit Exposure. All accrued Facility Fees shall be payable on the effective date of any termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Credit Extensions hereunder. The Borrowers may from time to time pay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding Base Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans), or, if less, in integral multiples of $1,000,000, any portion of the outstanding Base Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans) upon same day notice to the Administrative Agent (by 11:00 a.m. (Central time)). The Borrowers may at any time pay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding Swing Line Loans, or any portion of the outstanding Swing Line Loans, with notice to the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender by 10:00 a.m. (Central time) on the date of repayment. The Borrowers may from time to time pay, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4 but without penalty or premium, all outstanding Term SOFR Advances, EURIBOR Advances, RFR Advances, and Other Interest Rate Advances, or, in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 and incremental amounts in integral multiples of $1,000,000, any portion of the outstanding Term SOFR Advances, EURIBOR Advances, RFR Advances, and Other Interest Rate Advances upon three (3) Business Days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent). All voluntary prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.7(a) shall be applied to scheduled principal installments of the Term Loans as directed by the Borrowers; *provided* that, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, all voluntary prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.7(a) shall be applied to scheduled principal installments of the Term Loans in inverse order of maturity.

------

such Net Proceeds have not been so applied by the end of such period, (ii) the Company shall still be in the Covenant Relief Period and (iii) any 2024 Incremental Term Loans are outstanding, a prepayment shall be required to be made at the end of such period in an amount equal to the Specified Amount of those Net Proceeds that have not been so applied. In connection with each prepayment made hereunder the Company shall deliver a certificate of an Authorized Officer certifying as to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Private Placement Indebtedness on such date and providing calculations demonstrating the Specified Amount with respect to such Prepayment Event. Each prepayment under this clause Section 2.7(b) shall be applied to prepay the 2024 Incremental Term Loans ratably.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.8.<u>Method of Selecting Types, Classes and Interest Periods for New Advances</u>. The Borrower requesting an Advance shall select the Type and Class of Advance, the Agreed Currency applicable thereto and, other than for an RFR Advance or an Other Interest Rate Advance that does not use an Interest Period convention, the Interest Period therefor. Such Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice in substantially the form of <u>Exhibit D</u> (a "<u>Borrowing Notice</u>") not later than (1) 11:00 a.m. (Central time) on the Borrowing Date of each Base Rate Advance (other than a Swing Line Loan), (2) three (3) Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each Term SOFR Advance in Dollars, (3) three (3) Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each EURIBOR Advance in Euros, (4) five (5) Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each RFR Advance in Sterling, (5) five (5) Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each RFR Advance in Swiss Francs, and (6) five (5) Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each Other Interest Rate Advance, specifying:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the aggregate amount of such Advance,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)the Type of Advance selected, and, if applicable, the Interest Period therefor,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)Agreed Currency therefor.

Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Central time) on each Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make available its Loan or Loans in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII.

Base Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans) shall continue as Base Rate Advances unless and until such Base Rate Advances are converted into another Type of Advance pursuant to the remainder of this Section 2.9 or are repaid in accordance with Section 2.7. RFR Advances shall continue as RFR Advances unless and until such RFR Advances are converted into another Type of Advance pursuant to this Section 2.9 or are repaid in accordance with Section 2.7 (in each case with a corresponding change in currency as needed). Each Term SOFR Advance shall continue as a Term SOFR Advance until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such Term SOFR Advance shall be automatically converted into a Base Rate Advance unless (x) such Term SOFR Advance is or was repaid in accordance with Section 2.7 or (y) the relevant Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Notice requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Term SOFR Advance continue as a Term SOFR Advance for the same or another Interest Period. Each EURIBOR Advance shall continue as a EURIBOR Advance until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such EURIBOR Advance shall be automatically continued as a EURIBOR Advance with a one-month Interest Period unless (x) such Advance is or was repaid in accordance with Section 2.7 or (y) the relevant Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice (as defined below) requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such EURIBOR Advance continue as a EURIBOR Advance for the same or another Interest Period, or that

------

such Advance be converted to an Advance in Dollars (whether Term SOFR or Base Rate). Each Other Interest Rate Advance shall continue as such Type of Advance pursuant to the continuation and conversion mechanics agreed to for such an Advance by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders. Subject to the terms of Section 2.6, all or any part of one Type of Advance (other than a Swing Line Loan) may be converted into another Type Of Advance (with a corresponding change in currency, as applicable). All or any part of an Advance may be continued as such an Advance. The Borrowers shall give the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Notice for each conversion of one Type of Advance into another Type of Advance or the continuation of an Advance as follows (in each case with such notice being delivered no later than 11:00 a.m. (Minneapolis time)): (a) three (3) Business Days prior notice for a conversion of an Advance into a Base Rate Advance, a Term SOFR Advance or a EURIBOR Advance, or the continuation of a Term SOFR Advance or EURIBOR Advance; and (b) five (5) Business Days prior notice for a conversion of an Advance into an RFR Advance or an Other Interest Rate Advance, or the continuation of an RFR Advance; and (c) such notice period as agreed to by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the continuation of an Other Interest Rate Advance. Each such Borrowing Notice shall specify the following:

&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 requested date, which shall be a Business Day, of such 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;(ii)the Agreed Currency amount and Type of the Advance which is to be converted or continued, and, if applicable, the Interest Period applicable thereto.

After giving effect to all Advances, all conversions of Advances from one Type to another and all continuations of Advances of the same Type, there shall be no more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect hereunder (which, for purposes hereof, shall include each RFR Advance as utilizing one of such Interest Periods); *provided* that there shall be no more than five (5) Interest Periods (including RFR Advances for purposes hereof) in effect with respect to all of the Advances denominated in Agreed Currencies (other than Dollars) at any time.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or roll over all or a portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Company, the Administrative Agent and such Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.10.<u>Interest Rates</u>. Each Base Rate Advance (other than a Swing Line Loan) shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance is made or is automatically converted from a different Type of Advance into a Base Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.9, to but excluding the date it becomes due or is converted into such other Type of Advance pursuant to Section 2.9 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for such day. Each RFR Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance is made or is automatically converted from an RFR Advance into another Type of Advance pursuant to Section 2.9, to but excluding the date it becomes due or is converted into such an Advance pursuant to Section 2.9 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the RFR Rate for such day. Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the day such Swing Line Loan is made to but excluding the date it is paid, at a rate per annum equal to, at the relevant Borrower's option, the Base Rate for such day or the Term SOFR Rate for a one-month Interest Period, resetting daily; *provided*, that the Applicable Margin therefor, if any, shall be mutually agreed to by the relevant Borrower and the Swing Line Lender. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Base Rate Advance or RFR Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate or RFR Rate, or Applicable Margins, respectively. Each Term SOFR Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the Term SOFR Rate determined by the Administrative Agent as applicable to such Advance based upon the relevant Borrower's selections under Sections 2.8 and 2.9 and the Pricing Schedule. Each EURIBOR Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the EURIBOR Rate determined by the Administrative Agent as applicable to such

------

Advance based upon the relevant Borrower's selections under Sections 2.8 and 2.9 and the Pricing Schedule. Each Other Interest Rate Advance shall bear interest in accordance with the interest rate mechanics agreed to by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in respect of such Type of Advance. Any Term SOFR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or applicable Other Interest Rate Loan converted to another Type of Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor shall have accrued interest in respect thereof paid on the effective date for such conversion. No Interest Period for any Advance may end after the Facility Termination Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.11.<u>Rates Applicable After Event of Default</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 2.8, 2.9 or 2.10, but subject to the remainder of this Section 2.11, during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.3 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that no Advance may be made as, converted into or continued as a Term SOFR <br>Advance, a EURIBOR Advance, an RFR Advance or an Other Interest Rate Advance. During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.3 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that, unless repaid:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.11.1each Advance not constituting a Base Rate Advance shall be converted (in an amount equal to the Equivalent Amount of the applicable Agreed Currency if not denominated in Dollars) to a Base Rate Advance in Dollars either at the end of the Interest Period therefor or on the next Payment Date therefor, as the case may be;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.11.2each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus 2.00% per annum; 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;2.11.3the LC Fee shall be increased by 2.00% per annum.

If no election is made by the applicable Borrower by the earlier of (x) the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the applicable Borrower of such a notice and (y) the last day of the current Interest Period in respect of a Term SOFR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or Other Interest Rate Loan that utilizes Interest Periods, or the next occurring Payment Date in respect of an RFR Loan or an Other Interest Rate Loan that does not utilize Interest Periods, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert the applicable Loan to a Base Rate Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 7.9 or 7.10, the increases by 2.00% in interest rates and the LC Fee shall be applicable automatically to all Credit Extensions without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. After an Event of Default has been cured or waived, the interest rate applicable to Advances and the LC Fee shall revert to the rates applicable prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.12.<u>Method of Payment; Repayment of 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;(a)Each Advance shall be repaid and each payment of interest thereon shall be paid in the currency in which such Advance was made. All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's address specified pursuant to Article XIII, or at any other Lending Installation (or Lending Installations in the event different Lending Installations are designated for Obligations denominated in different Agreed Currencies) of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers, by 1:00 p.m. (Central time) on the date when due and shall (except (i) with respect to repayments of Swing Line Loans, (ii) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations for which the LC Issuer has not been fully indemnified by the Lenders, or (iii) as otherwise specifically required hereunder) be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among the Lenders. Each

------

payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge accounts of the Borrowers maintained with U.S. Bank for each payment of principal, interest, Reimbursement Obligations and fees as they become due hereunder. Each reference to the Administrative Agent in this Section 2.12 shall also be deemed to refer, and shall apply equally, to the LC Issuer, in the case of payments required to be made by the Borrowers to the LC Issuer pursuant to Section 2.19.6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, reimbursements pursuant to Section 2.19.5 and Section 2.19.6 of amounts paid by the LC Issuer in respect of Facility LCs shall be paid in Dollars in an <br>amount equal to the Dollar Amount of such amounts determined by such LC Issuer as of the applicable LC 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)The Borrowers hereby unconditionally promise to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Facility Termination Date or, as to Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure as to which there shall have been an Extension, the Extended Termination Date, as the case may be. Beginning with March 31, 2025 and on each Payment Date thereafter (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day), the Borrowers shall make quarterly payments of principal on the Initial Term Loans in an amount equal to one and one quarter percent (1.25%) of the aggregate of the Outstanding Initial Term Loan Credit Exposures. To the extent not previously paid, all unpaid Initial Term Loans shall be paid in full in cash by the Borrowers on the Facility Termination Date. Subject to any prepayments from time to time made by the Company, the 2024 Incremental Term Loans shall be repaid in full in cash by the Borrowers on the 2024 Incremental Facility Termination 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;(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if, after the making of any Advance in any currency other than Dollars, currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the country which issues such currency, or any other event occurs, in each case with the result that the type of currency in which the Advance was made (the "<u>Original Currency</u>") no longer exists or would otherwise no longer be an Eligible Currency or the Borrower of such Advance is not able to make payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in such Original Currency, then all payments to be made by such Borrower hereunder in such currency shall instead be made when due in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount (as of the date of repayment) of such payment due, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the Borrowers take all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.13.<u>Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness</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)Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

&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)The Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Agreed Currency and Type thereof and, if applicable, the Interest Period with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder, (iii) the original stated amount of each Facility LC and the amount of LC Obligations outstanding at any time, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrowers and each Lender's share 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;(c)The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall be *prima facie* evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; *provided, however*, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.

&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)Any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note or, in the case of the Swing Line Lender, promissory notes representing its Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and Term Loans, respectively, substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit E-1</u> and <u>E-3</u> in the case of the Domestic Borrowers or <u>Exhibit E-2</u> and <u>E-4</u>, in the case of any Foreign Borrower, with appropriate changes for notes evidencing Swing Line Loans and notes evidencing 2024 Incremental Term Loans (each a "<u>Note</u>"). In such <br>event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender such Note or Notes payable to the order of such Lender in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note or Notes and interest thereon shall at all times (prior to any assignment pursuant to Section 12.3) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein, except to the extent that any such Lender subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in clauses (b) (i) and (ii) above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.14.<u>Telephonic Notices</u>. The Borrowers hereby authorize the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Agreed Currencies and Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Administrative Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of a Borrower, it being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to allow Borrowing Notices and Conversion/Continuation Notices to be given telephonically. Each Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation (which may include e-mail) of each telephonic notice made by such Borrower authenticated by an Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error. The parties agree to prepare appropriate documentation to correct any such error within ten (10) days after discovery by any party to this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.15.<u>Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis</u>. Interest accrued on each Base Rate Advance, each RFR Advance, each Swing Line Loan and each Other Interest Rate Advance that does not accrue interest based upon Interest Periods shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such Payment Date to occur after the Effective Date and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Term SOFR Advance (other than and Swing Line Loans), EURIBOR Advance and Other Interest Rate Advance that accrues interest based on Interest Periods shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the applicable Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each such Advance having an Interest Period longer than three (3) months shall also be payable on the last day of each three (3) month interval during such Interest Period. Interest on all Advances and fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, except that (i) interest on Advances denominated in Pounds Sterling, (ii) interest on Other Interest Rate Advances designated by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as not accruing interest based on a 360-day year, and (iii) interest computing by reference to the Alternate Base Rate shall each be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365/366-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to 12:00 noon (local time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.16.<u>Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment Reductions</u>. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Commitment reduction notice, Borrowing Notice, Swing Line Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice received by it hereunder. Promptly after notice from the LC Issuer, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each request for issuance of a Facility LC hereunder. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the currency and interest rate applicable to each Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.17.<u>Lending Installations</u>. Each Lender may book its Advances and its participation in any LC Obligations and the LC Issuer may book the Facility LCs at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. <br>

------

<br>All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Loans, Facility LCs, participations in LC Obligations and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, for the benefit of any such Lending Installation. Each Lender and the LC Issuer may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in accordance with Article XIII, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be made by it or Facility LCs will be issued by it and for whose account Loan payments or payments with respect to Facility LCs are to be made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.18.<u>Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent</u>. Unless a Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of a Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day for the first three (3) days and, thereafter, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan or (y) in the case of payment by a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.19.<u>Facility LCs</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;2.19.1<u>Issuance; Facility LC Amounts</u>.

Each LC Issuer hereby agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to issue standby and commercial Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars, any other Agreed Currency, or any Discretionary Currency acceptable to such LC Issuer (each Letter of Credit issued on and after the Effective Date pursuant to this Section 2.19, a "<u>Facility LC</u>") and to renew, extend, increase, decrease or otherwise modify each Facility LC ("<u>Modify</u>," and each such action a "<u>Modification</u>"), from time to time from and including the Effective Date and prior to the Facility Termination Date upon the request of a Borrower; <u>provided</u> that immediately after each such Facility LC is issued or Modified (as confirmed by such LC Issuer with the Administrative Agent in writing prior to the issuance or Modification of such Facility LC), (i) the aggregate Dollar Amount of the outstanding LC Obligations shall not exceed the Facility LC Sublimit and (ii) the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment. Subject to the foregoing and the remainder of this Section 2.19, each LC Issuer agrees to issue Facility LCs up to the amount of the Facility LC Sublimit; <u>provided</u>, that the amount available to be issued by one LC Issuer shall be reduced by the outstanding face amount of Facility LCs issued by the other LC Issuer (by way of example only, if U.S. Bank issues Facility LCs with an aggregate outstanding face amount equal to $75,000,000, then BofA may only issue Facility LCs with an aggregate outstanding face amount equal to $25,000,000). Unless approved by all the Lenders, no Facility LC shall have an expiry date later than one year after its issuance.

&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)No LC Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Facility LC if any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such LC Issuer from issuing such Facility LC, or any law applicable to such LC Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such LC Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the LC Issuer refrain from, the issuance of <br>letters of credit generally or such Facility LC in particular or shall impose upon the LC Issuer with respect to such Facility LC any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the LC Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Amendment No. 9 Effective Date, or shall impose

------

upon the LC Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Amendment No. 9 Effective Date and which the LC Issuer in good faith deems material to it; or (ii) the issuance of such Facility LC would violate one or more policies of the LC Issuer applicable to Letters of Credit generally.

&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)If a Borrower so requests, an LC Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue an Auto-Extension Facility LC; provided that any such Auto-Extension Facility LC must permit the LC Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Facility LC) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the "<u>Non-Extension Notice Date</u>") in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Facility LC is issued. Unless otherwise directed by such LC Issuer, the applicable Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the LC Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Facility LC has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such LC Issuer to permit the extension of such Facility LC at any time; provided, however, that the LC Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the LC Issuer has determined (or has been advised by the Administrative Agent on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date) that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Facility LC in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (i) or (ii) of Section 2.19.1(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.2 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the LC Issuer not to permit such extension.

&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)Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Facility LC at any time shall be deemed to be the Dollar Amount of the stated amount of such Facility LC in effect at such time; *provided, however,* that with respect to any Facility LC that by its terms provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Facility LC shall be deemed to be the Dollar Amount of the maximum stated amount of such Facility LC after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.19.2<u>Participations</u>. Upon the issuance or Modification by the LC Issuer of a Facility LC in accordance with this Section 2.19, the LC Issuer shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably sold to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the LC Issuer, a participation in such Facility LC (and each Modification thereof) and the related LC Obligations in proportion to its Pro Rata Share.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.19.3<u>Notice</u>. Subject to Section 2.19.1, a Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice prior to 10:00 a.m. (Central time) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance or Modification of each Facility LC, specifying the beneficiary, the proposed date of issuance (or Modification) and the expiry date of such Facility LC, and describing the proposed terms of such Facility LC and the nature of the transactions proposed to be supported thereby. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the LC Issuer and each Lender, of the contents thereof and of the amount of such Lender's participation in such proposed Facility LC. The issuance or Modification by the LC Issuer of any Facility LC shall, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV, be subject to the conditions precedent that such Facility LC shall be satisfactory to the LC Issuer and that such Borrower shall have executed and <br>delivered such application agreement and/or such other instruments and agreements relating to such Facility LC as the LC Issuer shall have reasonably requested (each, a "<u>Facility LC Application</u>"). The LC Issuer shall have no independent duty to ascertain whether the conditions set forth in Article IV have been satisfied; *provided, however,* that the LC Issuer shall not issue a Facility LC if, on or before the proposed date of issuance, the LC Issuer shall have received notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders that any such condition has not been satisfied or waived. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Facility LC Application, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.19.4<u>LC Fees</u>. Each Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, with respect to each Facility LC issued for the account of such Borrower, a letter of credit fee at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin for Term SOFR Loans in effect from time to time on the original face amount of the Facility LC for the period from the date of issuance to the scheduled expiration date of such Facility LC, such fee to be payable in arrears on each Payment Date (the "<u>LC Fee</u>"). Such Borrower shall also pay to the LC Issuer for its own account (x) a fronting fee in an amount agreed upon between the LC Issuer and such Borrower and (y) on demand, all amendment, drawing and other fees regularly charged by the LC Issuer to its letter of credit customers and all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the LC Issuer in connection with the issuance, Modification, administration or payment of any Facility LC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.19.5<u>Administration; Reimbursement by Lenders</u>. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Facility LC of any demand for payment under such Facility LC, the LC Issuer shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Borrower for which such Facility LC was issued and each other Lender as to the amount to be paid by the LC Issuer as a result of such demand and the proposed payment date (the "<u>LC Payment Date</u>"). The responsibility of the LC Issuer to the Company and any such Borrower and each Lender shall be only to determine that the documents (including each demand for payment) delivered under each Facility LC in connection with such presentment shall be in conformity in all material respects with such Facility LC. The LC Issuer shall endeavor to exercise the same care in the issuance and administration of the Facility LCs as it does with respect to letters of credit in which no participations are granted, it being understood that in the absence of any gross negligence or willful misconduct by the LC Issuer (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment), each Lender shall be unconditionally and irrevocably liable without regard to the occurrence of any Event of Default or any condition precedent whatsoever, to reimburse the LC Issuer through the Administrative Agent on demand for (i) such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the amount of each payment made by the LC Issuer under each Facility LC to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.19.6 below and there are not funds available in the Facility LC Collateral Account to cover the same, plus (ii) interest on the foregoing amount to be reimbursed by such Lender, for each day from the date of the LC Issuer's demand for such reimbursement (or, if such demand is made after 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on such date, from the next succeeding Business Day) to the date on which such Lender pays the amount to be reimbursed by it, at a rate of interest per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first three (3) days and, thereafter, at a rate of interest equal to the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.19.6<u>Reimbursement by Borrowers</u>. The Domestic Borrowers and any Foreign Borrower for which a Facility LC was issued shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the LC Issuer through the Administrative Agent on or before the applicable LC Payment Date for any amounts to be paid by the LC Issuer upon any drawing under any Facility LC, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind; *provided* that neither any Domestic Borrower, nor such Foreign Borrower nor any Lender shall hereby be precluded from asserting any claim for direct (but not consequential) damages suffered by such Domestic Borrower, such Foreign Borrower or such Lender to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the LC Issuer (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment) in determining whether a request presented under any Facility LC issued by it complied with the terms of such Facility LC or (ii) the LC Issuer's failure to pay under any Facility LC issued by it after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Facility LC. All such amounts paid by the LC Issuer and remaining unpaid by any Domestic Borrower or such Foreign Borrower shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to (x) the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances for such day if such day falls on or before the applicable LC Payment Date and (y) the sum of 2.00% per annum plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances for such day if such day falls after such LC Payment Date. The Administrative Agent will pay to each Lender ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share all amounts received by it from a Domestic Borrower or a Foreign Borrower for application in payment, in whole or in part, of the Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Facility LC issued by the LC Issuer, but only to the extent such Lender has made payment to the LC Issuer through the Administrative

------

Agent in respect of such Facility LC pursuant to Section 2.19.5. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including without limitation the submission of a Borrowing Notice in compliance with Section 2.8 and the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IV), the Domestic Borrowers or a Foreign Borrower may request an Advance hereunder for the purpose of satisfying any Reimbursement Obligation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.19.7<u>Obligations Absolute</u>. Each of the Domestic Borrower's and any applicable Foreign Borrower's obligations under this Section 2.19 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrowers may have or have had against the LC Issuer, any Lender or any beneficiary of a Facility LC. The Borrowers further agree with the LC Issuer and the Lenders that the LC Issuer and the Lenders shall not be responsible for, and each Borrower's Reimbursement Obligation in respect of its Facility LCs issued shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among such Borrower, any of their Affiliates, the beneficiary of any Facility LC or any financing institution or other party to whom any Facility LC may be transferred or any claims or defenses whatsoever of any Borrower or of any of their Affiliates against the beneficiary of any Facility LC or any such transferee. The LC Issuer shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Facility LC. The Domestic Borrowers and each applicable Foreign Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the LC Issuer or any Lender under or in connection with each Facility LC and the related drafts and documents, if done without gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment), shall be binding upon such Borrower(s) and shall not put the LC Issuer or any Lender under any liability to any Borrower. Nothing in this Section 2.19.7 is intended to limit the right of a Borrower to make a claim against the LC Issuer for damages as contemplated by the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.19.6.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.19.8<u>Actions of LC Issuer</u>. The LC Issuer shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Facility LC, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, facsimile, telex, teletype or electronic mail message, statement, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the LC Issuer. The LC Issuer shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it reasonably deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable 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. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.19, the LC Issuer shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Lenders and any future holders of a participation in any Facility LC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.19.9<u>Indemnification</u>. In addition to their other obligations under this Agreement, the Borrowers hereby agree to protect, indemnify, pay and hold the LC Issuer harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) that the LC Issuer may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (A) the issuance of any Letter of Credit or (B) the failure of the LC Issuer to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions, herein called "<u>Government Acts</u>"). As between the Borrowers and the LC Issuer, the Borrowers shall assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. In the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment), the LC Issuer shall not be responsible for: (A) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact

------

prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (C) failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon a Letter of Credit; (D) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (E) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; and (G) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the LC Issuer, including, without limitation, any Government Acts. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of the LC Issuer's rights or powers hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.19.10<u>Lenders' Indemnification</u>. Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, indemnify the LC Issuer, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitees' gross negligence or willful misconduct or the LC Issuer's failure to pay under any Facility LC (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment) after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Facility LC) that such indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with this Section 2.19 or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.19.11<u>Facility LC Collateral Account</u>. The Company agrees that it will, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders and until the final expiration date of any Facility LC and thereafter as long as any amount is payable to the LC Issuer or the Lenders in <br>respect of any Facility LC issued for the account of any Borrower, maintain a special collateral account pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (each, a "<u>Facility LC Collateral Account</u>"), in the name of the Company but under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and in which neither the Company nor any other Borrower shall have an interest other than as set forth in Section 8.1. The Company hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the LC Issuer, a security interest in all of the Company's right, title and interest in and to all funds which may from time to time be on deposit in a Facility LC Collateral Account to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Obligations of the Company and the Foreign Borrowers. The Administrative Agent will invest any funds on deposit from time to time in the Facility LC Collateral Account in certificates of deposit of U.S. Bank having a maturity not exceeding thirty (30) days. No later than the fifth Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date, the Borrowers will deposit into the Facility LC Collateral Account Cash Collateral in an amount equal to the sum of (a) 105% of the Dollar Amount of LC Obligations with respect to Facility LCs denominated in Agreed Currencies, plus (b) 115% of the Dollar Amount of LC Obligations with respect to Facility LCs denominated in Discretionary Currencies. Except as specifically required in the preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 2.19.11 shall require, or obligate the Administrative Agent to require, the Company or any other Borrower to deposit any funds in a Facility LC Collateral Account, or limit the right of the Administrative Agent to release any funds held in a Facility LC Collateral Account in each case other than as required by Section 8.1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.19.12<u>Rights as a Lender</u>. In its capacity as a Lender, the LC Issuer shall have the same rights and obligations as any other Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.20.<u>Replacement of Lender</u>. If the Borrowers are required pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 to make any additional payment to any Lender or if any Lender's obligation to make or continue, or to convert Base Rate Advances into other Types of Advances shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.3 or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to make a Loan, reimburse the LC Issuer pursuant to Section 2.19.5 or the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.4.4 or declines to approve an amendment or waiver that is approved by the Required Lenders or otherwise becomes a Defaulting Lender (any Lender so affected an "<u>Affected Lender</u>"), the Company may elect, if such amounts continue to be

------

charged or such suspension is still effective, to replace such Affected Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement; *provided* that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement; and *provided further* that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Advances and other Obligations due to the Affected Lender pursuant to an assignment substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit C</u> and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 12.3 applicable to assignments, and (ii) the Borrowers shall pay to such Affected Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (A) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Affected Lender by the Borrowers hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Affected Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5, and an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 3.4 had the Loans of such Affected Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.21.<u>Limitation of Interest</u>. The Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders intend to strictly comply with all applicable laws, including applicable usury laws. Accordingly, the provisions of this Section 2.21 shall govern and control over every other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which conflicts or is inconsistent with this Section 2.21, even if such provision declares that it controls. As used in this Section 2.21, the term "interest" includes the aggregate of all charges, fees, benefits or other compensation which constitute interest under applicable law; *provided* that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any non-principal payment shall be characterized as an expense or as compensation for something other than the use, forbearance or detention of money and not as interest, and (b) all interest at any time contracted for, reserved, charged or received shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread, in equal parts during the full term of the Obligations. In no event shall the Borrowers or any other Person be obligated to pay, or any Lender have any right or privilege to reserve, receive or retain, (i) any interest in excess of the maximum amount of non-usurious interest permitted under the applicable laws (if any) of the United States or of any applicable state, or (ii) total interest in excess of the amount which such Lender could lawfully have contracted for, reserved, received, retained or charged had the interest been calculated for the full term of the Obligations at the Highest Lawful Rate. On each day, if any, that the interest rate (the "<u>Stated Rate</u>") called for under this Agreement or any other Loan Document exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the rate at which interest shall accrue shall automatically be fixed by operation of this sentence at the Highest Lawful Rate for that day, and shall remain fixed at the Highest Lawful Rate for each day thereafter until the total amount of interest accrued equals the total amount of interest which would have accrued if there were no such ceiling rate as is imposed by this sentence. Thereafter, interest shall accrue at the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate when the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall again automatically operate to limit the interest accrual rate. The daily interest rates to be used in calculating interest at the Highest Lawful Rate shall be determined by dividing the applicable Highest Lawful Rate per annum by the number of days in the calendar year for which such calculation is being made. None of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document which directly or indirectly relate to interest shall ever be construed without reference to this Section 2.21, or be construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money at an interest rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate. If the term of any Obligation is shortened by reason of acceleration of maturity as a result of any Event of Default or by any other cause, or by reason of any required or permitted prepayment, and if for that (or any other) reason any Lender at any time, including but not limited to, the stated maturity, is owed or receives (and/or has received) interest in excess of interest calculated at the Highest Lawful Rate, then and in any such event all of any such excess interest shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration, prepayment or other event which produces the excess, and, if such excess interest has been paid to such Lender, it shall be credited *pro tanto* against the then-outstanding principal balance of the Borrowers' obligations to such Lender, effective as of the date or dates when the event occurs which causes it to be excess interest, until such excess is exhausted or all of such principal has been fully paid and satisfied, whichever occurs first, and any remaining balance of such excess shall be promptly refunded to its payor.

------

&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>Defaulting Lender Adjustments</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)<u>Waivers and Amendments</u>. Such Defaulting Lender's right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)<u>Defaulting Lender Waterfall</u>. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.1 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: <br>*first*, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; *second*, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the LC Issuer and Swing Line Lender hereunder; *third*, to Cash Collateralize the LC Issuer's Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.22(d); *fourth*, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; *fifth*, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a deposit account (including the Facility LC Collateral Account) and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender's potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the LC Issuer's future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Facility LCs issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.22(d); *sixth*, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; *seventh*, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; *eighth*, if so determined by the Administrative Agent, distributed to the Lenders other than the Defaulting Lender until the ratio of the Outstanding Credit Exposure of such Lenders to the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure of all Revolving Lenders equals such ratio immediately prior to the Defaulting Lender's failure to fund any portion of any Loans or participations in Facility LCs or Swing Line Loans; and *ninth*, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; *provided* that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Facility LC issuances in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Facility LCs were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Credit Extensions of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Credit Extensions of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.22(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)<u>Certain Fees</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;(A)[reserved];

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive a Facility Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to the sum of (1) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans funded by it, and (2) its ratable share of the stated amount of Facility LCs for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.22(d);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C)Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive LC Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its ratable share of the stated amount of Facility LCs for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.22(d); 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)With respect to any fees not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clauses (B) or (C) above, the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender's participation in LC Obligations or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the LC Issuer and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the LC Issuer's or Swing Line Lender's Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)<u>Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure</u>. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender's participation in LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender's Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrowers shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, each Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender's Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender's increased exposure following such reallocation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)<u>Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans</u>. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, each Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lender's Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the LC Issuer's Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.22(d).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Defaulting Lender Cure</u>. If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and the LC Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Facility LCs and Swing Line Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; *provided* that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and *provided*, *further*, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender <br>

------

<br>will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender's having been 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;(c)<u>New Facility LCs</u>. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the LC Issuer shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Facility LC unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

&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)<u>Cash Collateral</u>. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the LC Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize the LC Issuer's Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)<u>Grant of Security Interest</u>. Each Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the LC Issuer, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lender's obligation to fund participations in respect of LC Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (ii) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the LC Issuer as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, each Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)<u>Application</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.22 in respect of Facility LCs shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender's obligation to fund participations in respect of LC Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such Property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)<u>Termination of Requirement</u>. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the LC Issuer's Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.22(d) following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the LC Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; *provided* that, subject to this Section 2.22 the Person providing Cash Collateral and the LC Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.23.<u>Market Disruption</u>. Notwithstanding the satisfaction of all applicable conditions referred to in Article II and Article IV with respect to any Advance or Facility LC in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars, if there shall occur on or prior to the date of such Advance or the date of issuance of such Facility LC any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls which would in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders make it impracticable for the Type of Loans comprising such Advance or Facility LC to be denominated in the Agreed Currency specified by a Borrower, then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to such Borrower and the Lenders, and such Loans or Facility LC shall not be denominated in such Agreed Currency but shall be made on such Borrowing Date in Dollars, in an aggregate <br>principal amount equal to the Dollar Amount of the aggregate principal amount specified in the related Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be, as Base Rate Loans, unless such Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least one (1) Business Day before such Borrowing

------

Date (in the event that the Administrative Agent has given such notice to such Borrower no later than two (2) Business Days prior to such Borrowing Date and otherwise as soon as practicable in the circumstances but in any case prior to the making of such Advance or issuance of such Facility LC) that (i) it elects not to borrow on such date or (ii) it elects to borrow on such date in a different Agreed Currency, as the case may be, in which the denomination of such Loans would in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders be practicable and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Dollar Amount of the aggregate principal amount specified in the related Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.24.<u>Judgment Currency</u>. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from any Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the "specified currency") into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent's offices on the Business Day preceding that on which final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, each Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 11.2, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to such Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.25.<u>Increase Option</u>. The Borrowers may from time to time elect to increase the Revolving Commitments or enter into one or more tranches of term loans (each an "<u>Incremental Term Loan</u>"), in each case in minimum increments of $10,000,000 or such lower amount as the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent agree upon, so long as, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of such increases in the Revolving Commitments and all such Incremental Term Loans does not exceed $950,000,000; <u>provided</u>, that the amount available under this Section 2.25 after giving effect to Amendment No. 8 shall equal $550,000,000; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that such available amount shall increase by the aggregate amount of principal payments made in respect of the 2024 Incremental Term Loans. The Borrowers may arrange for any such increase or tranche to be provided by one or more Lenders (each Lender so agreeing to an increase in its Revolving Commitment or to participate in such Incremental Term Loans, an "<u>Increasing Lender</u>"), or by one or more new banks, financial institutions or other entities that are Eligible Assignees (each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, an "<u>Augmenting Lender</u>"), agreeing to increase their existing Revolving Commitments, participate in Incremental Term Loans, or extend new Revolving Commitments, as the case may be; *provided,* that (i) each Augmenting Lender and each Increasing Lender shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Company, the Administrative Agent and the LC Issuer and (ii) (x) in the case of an Increasing Lender, the Borrowers and such Increasing Lender execute an agreement substantially<br>in the form of <u>Exhibit F</u> hereto, and (y) in the case of an Augmenting Lender, the Borrowers and such Augmenting Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit G</u> hereto. No consent of any Lender (other than the Lenders participating in the increase in Revolving Commitments or any Incremental Term Loans) shall be required for any increase in Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.25. For the avoidance of doubt, no Lender shall be under any obligation to become an Increasing Lender and any such decision whether to increase its Revolving Commitment or make an Incremental Term Loan shall be in such Lender's sole and absolute discretion. Increases and new Revolving Commitments and Incremental Term Loans created pursuant to this Section 2.25 shall become effective on the date agreed by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the

------

relevant Increasing Lenders or Augmenting Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Revolving Commitments (or in the Revolving Commitment of any Lender) or tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall become effective under this paragraph unless, (i) on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such increase or Incremental Term Loan, (A) the conditions set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of Section 4.2 shall be satisfied or waived by the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by an Authorized Officer of each Borrower and (B) the Borrowers shall be in compliance (on a pro forma basis reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) with the covenants contained in Section 6.25 as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been provided pursuant to Section 6.1 ended prior to giving effect to the applicable increase under this Section 2.25, and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date as to the corporate power and authority of the Borrowers to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase. On the effective date of any increase in the Revolving Commitments or any Incremental Term Loans being made, (i) each relevant Increasing Lender and Augmenting Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender's portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans of all the Lenders to equal its Pro Rata Share of such outstanding Revolving Loans, and (ii) for any increase in the Revolving Commitments, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Loans as of the date of any increase in the Revolving Commitments (with such reborrowing to consist of the Types of Revolving Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrowers, in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.8). The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in respect of each Term SOFR Loan with an Interest Period or otherwise subject to the benefit of Section 3.4, shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrowers pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods or as otherwise contemplated by Section 3.4. The Incremental Term Loans (a) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Revolving Loans and the Term Loans, (b) may mature earlier than the Facility Termination Date (and may have amortization prior to such date), and (c) shall be treated substantially the same as (and in any event no more favorably than) the Revolving Loans and the Term Loans; <u>provided</u> that (i) the terms and conditions applicable to any tranche of Incremental Term Loans maturing after the Facility Termination Date may provide for material additional or different financial or other covenants or prepayment requirements applicable only during periods after the Facility Termination Date, (ii) the Incremental Term Loans may be priced differently from the Revolving Loans, Term Loans and from previously issued Incremental Term Loans, and (iii) Incremental Term Loans may mature earlier than Revolving Loans, Term Loans or other previously-extended Incremental Term Loans. Incremental Term Loans may be made hereunder pursuant to an amendment or restatement (an "Incremental Term Loan Amendment") of this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrowers, each Increasing Lender participating in such tranche, each Augmenting Lender participating in such tranche, if any, and the Administrative <br>Agent. The Incremental Term Loan Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.25. On the effective date of the issuance of the Incremental Term Loans, each Lender that has agreed to extend such an Incremental Term Loan shall make its ratable share thereof available to the Administrative Agent, for remittance to the Borrowers, on the terms and conditions specified by the Administrative Agent at such time. Nothing contained in this Section 2.25 shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Revolving Commitment hereunder, or provide Incremental Term Loans, at any time.

This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 8.3 or 11.2 to the contrary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.26.<u>Foreign Borrowers</u>. The Company may at any time or from time to time, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders, add as a party to this Agreement any Foreign Subsidiary to be a Foreign Borrower hereunder by (a) the execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of a duly completed Assumption Letter by the Company and such Foreign

------

Subsidiary (which Assumption Letter shall include a designation of the Agreed Currencies in which such Foreign Borrower may borrow Advances hereunder), with the consent and acknowledgement of the Administrative Agent, (b) the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.3 and (c) delivery to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of such other opinions, agreements, documents, certificates or other items as may reasonably be required by the Administrative Agent. Upon such execution, delivery and consent, such Foreign Subsidiary shall for all purposes be a party hereto as a Foreign Borrower, authorized to borrow in its Designated Currencies, as fully as if it had executed and delivered this Agreement. So long as the principal of and interest on any Advances made to any Foreign Borrower under this Agreement and all other Foreign Borrower Obligations of such Foreign Borrower under this Agreement shall have been fully performed, the Company may, by not less than five (5) Business Days' prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), terminate such Foreign Subsidiary's status as a "Foreign Borrower" (it being understood and agreed that such Foreign Borrower shall remain liable with respect to indemnification and similar obligations incurred prior to such termination). The Administrative Agent shall give the Lenders written notice of the addition of any Foreign Borrower to this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.27.<u>Liability of the Borrowers</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;2.27.1<u>Liability</u>. THE COMPANY AGREES THAT IT IS LIABLE FOR THE PAYMENT OF ALL OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWERS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS AND THE L/C ISSUER CAN ENFORCE SUCH OBLIGATIONS AGAINST THE COMPANY IN THEIR SOLE AND UNLIMITED DISCRETION. THE COMPANY HEREBY GUARANTEES THE REPAYMENT OF ALL SUCH OBLIGATIONS. SUCH GUARANTY IS A GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND NOT OF COLLECTION. EACH BORROWER OTHER THAN THE COMPANY IS LIABLE ONLY FOR ITS OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO CREDIT EXTENSIONS MADE IN ITS FAVOR, NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY LOAN DOCUMENT.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.27.2<u>Borrowers' Agent</u>. Each Borrower, by executing this Agreement or by entering into an Assumption Letter becoming a party to this Agreement, appoints the Company as its agent for purposes of carrying out the obligations and enforcing the rights of the Borrowers hereunder. All notices to be given to the Borrowers hereunder may be delivered to the Company as agent for the Borrowers and all actions to be taken by a Borrower hereunder may be taken by such Borrower or by the Company as agent for such 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;2.27.3<u>Waivers of Defenses</u>. The agreement of the Company to pay the Obligations shall not be released, in whole or in part, by any action or thing which might, but for this provision of this Agreement, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor, other than irrevocable payment and performance in full of such Obligations (except for contingent indemnity and other contingent Obligations not yet due and payable) at a time after any obligation of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the LC Issuer hereunder to extend credit shall have expired or been terminated. The purpose and intent of this Agreement is that the Obligations constitute the direct and primary obligations of the Company, and that the covenants, agreements and all obligations of the Company with respect thereto hereunder be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable. The Company shall be and remain liable for any deficiency remaining after foreclosure of any mortgage, deed of trust or security agreement securing all or any part of the Obligations for which it is liable, whether or not the liability of any other Person for such deficiency is discharged pursuant to statute, judicial decision or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.27.4<u>Actions Not Required</u>. The Company, to the extent permitted by applicable law, hereby waives any and all right to cause a marshaling of the assets of any Loan Party or any other action by any court or other governmental body with respect thereto or to cause the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the LC Issuer to proceed against any security for the Obligations or any other recourse which they may have with respect thereto and further waives any and all requirements that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the LC Issuer institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity, or obtain any judgment, against any Loan Party or any other Person, or with respect to any collateral security for the Obligations, as a condition

------

precedent to making demand on or bringing an action or obtaining and/or enforcing a judgment against, the Company under 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;2.27.5<u>Subrogation</u>. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by any Borrower hereunder or any setoff or application of funds of any Borrower by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the LC Issuer, the Company shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the LC Issuer against any Loan Party or any collateral security or guaranty or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the LC Issuer for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the Company seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any Loan Party in respect of payments made by the Company hereunder, until Payment in Full.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.27.6<u>Recovery of Payment</u>. If any payment received by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the LC Issuer and applied to the Obligations is subsequently set aside, recovered, rescinded or required to be returned for any reason (including, without limitation, the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of a Borrower or any other obligor), the Obligations to which such payment was applied shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application, and the Company shall be liable for such Obligations as fully as if such application had never been made. References in this Agreement to amounts "irrevocably paid" or to "irrevocable payment" refer to payments that cannot be set aside, recovered, rescinded or required to be returned for any reason.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.27.7<u>Loan Parties' Financial Condition</u>. The Company is familiar with the financial condition of each Loan Party, and the Company has executed and delivered this Agreement based on its own judgment and not in reliance upon any statement or representation of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the LC Issuer. None of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the LC Issuer shall have any obligation to provide any Loan Party with any advice whatsoever or to inform any Loan Party at any time of its actions, evaluations or conclusions on the financial condition or any other matter concerning the Loan Parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.27.8<u>Bankruptcy of the Borrowers</u>. The Company expressly agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that its liabilities and obligations under this Agreement shall not in any way be impaired or otherwise affected by the institution by or against any other Loan Party or any other Person of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or any other similar proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy law or similar law for the relief of debtors and that any discharge of any of the Obligations pursuant to any such bankruptcy or similar law or other law shall not diminish, discharge or otherwise affect in any way the Obligations of the Company under this Agreement, and that upon the institution of any of the above actions, such Obligations shall be enforceable against the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.27.9<u>Limitation; Insolvency Laws</u>. As used in this Section: (a) the term "<u>Applicable Insolvency Laws</u>" means the laws of the United States of America or of any State, province, nation or other governmental unit relating to bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment of debts, relief of debtors, dissolution, insolvency, fraudulent transfers or conveyances or other similar laws (including, without limitation, 11 U. S. C. 547, 548, 550 and other "avoidance" provisions of Title 11 of the United States Code) as applicable in any proceeding in which the validity and/or enforceability of this Agreement against any Borrower, or any Specified Lien is in issue; and (b) "<u>Specified Lien</u>" means any security interest, mortgage, lien or encumbrance granted by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries securing the Obligations, in whole or in part. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, in any proceeding, a court of competent jurisdiction determines that with respect to the Domestic Borrowers, any of the Obligations or any Specified Lien would, but for the operation of this Section, be subject to avoidance and/or recovery or be unenforceable by reason of Applicable Insolvency Laws, the Obligations and each such Specified Lien shall be valid and enforceable against the Domestic Borrowers, to the maximum extent that would not cause the Obligations or such Specified Lien to be subject to avoidance, recovery or unenforceability. To the extent that any payment to, or realization by, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the LC Issuer on the Obligations exceeds the limitations of this Section and is otherwise subject to avoidance and recovery in any such proceeding, the amount subject to avoidance shall in all events be limited to the amount by which

------

such actual payment or realization exceeds such limitation, and this Agreement as limited shall in all events remain in full force and effect and be fully enforceable against the Domestic Borrowers. This Section is intended solely to reserve the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the LC Issuer hereunder against the Domestic Borrowers with respect to the Foreign Borrower Obligations, in such proceeding to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Insolvency Laws and neither the Loan Parties nor any other Person shall have any right, claim or defense under this Section that would not otherwise be available under Applicable Insolvency Laws in such proceeding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.28.<u>Extensions of Commitments</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)The Borrowers may from time to time, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.28 and with the consent of the Required Lenders, agree with one or more Revolving Lenders to extend by one year the termination date of the Revolving Commitments or any portion thereof (each such modification, an "<u>Extension</u>") pursuant to one or more written offers (each, an "<u>Extension Offer</u>") made from time to time by the Borrowers to all Revolving Lenders, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on their respective Pro Rata Shares) and on the same terms to each such Revolving Lender. The Borrowers shall not request more than two Extensions after the Amendment No. 9 Effective Date; the first Extension may not be requested earlier than a date that is more than four years prior to the Facility Termination Date and the second Extension may not be requested earlier than a date that is more than four years prior to the then Extended Termination Date. In connection with each Extension, the Borrowers will provide notification to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders), no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Facility Termination Date of the requested new termination date for the extended Revolving Commitments (each an "<u>Extended Termination Date</u>") and the due date for Lender responses. In connection with any Extension, each Lender wishing to participate in such Extension shall, prior to such due date, provide the Administrative Agent with a written notice thereof in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Any Lender that does not respond to an Extension Offer by the applicable due date shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension. The Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender that rejects an Extension shall be paid in full by the Borrowers (i) as to any Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure for which there has been no prior Extension, on the Facility Termination Date, (ii) as to Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure for which there shall have been a previous Extension, on the existing Extended Termination Date for such Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure. The Borrowers shall not make any Extension Offer if (i) any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or (ii) there shall have occurred since the Amendment No. 9 Effective Date a change in the business, Property, liabilities (actual and contingent), operations, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse 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;(b)The Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Required Lenders, may enter into amendments (collectively, "<u>Extension Amendments</u>") to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary in order to establish new classes of Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans created pursuant to an Extension, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.28. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extension, the Borrowers and any Subsidiary shall execute such agreements, confirmations or other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.28. This Section 2.28 shall supersede any provision in Section 8.3 to the contrary.

**ARTICLE III**<br>YIELD PROTECTION; TAXES

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1.<u>Yield Protection</u>. If, after the date of the Amendment No. 9 Effective Date, there occurs any Change in Law which:

&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)subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation, the LC Issuer, or the Administrative Agent to any Taxes (other than with respect to Indemnified Taxes, Excluded Taxes, and Other Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, compulsory loan, insurance charge, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to EURIBOR Advances or relevant Other Interest Rate Advances), or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)imposes any other condition (other than Taxes) the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer of making, funding, continuing, converting, or maintaining its Term SOFR Loans, EURIBOR Loans, RFR Loans, or Other Interest Rate Loans, or of issuing or participating in Facility LCs, or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer in connection with its Term SOFR Loans, EURIBOR Loans, RFR Loans, or Other Interest Rate Loans, Facility LCs or participations therein, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Term SOFR Loans, EURIBOR Loans, RFR Loans, or Other Interest Rate Loans, Facility LCs or participations therein held or interest or LC Fees received by it, by an amount deemed<br>material by such Lender or the LC Issuer as the case may be, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Person of making, maintaining, continuing or converting its Loans or Commitment or of issuing or participating in Facility LCs or to reduce the amount received by such Person in connection with such Loans or Commitment, Facility LCs or participations therein, then, within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Person, the Borrowers shall pay such Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Person for such increased cost or reduction in amount received, as the case may be; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate any Person for any such increased cost incurred or reduction suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Person makes the aforesaid demand (except that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then such nine-month period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2.<u>Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations</u>. If a Lender or the LC Issuer determines that the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or the LC Issuer, any Lending Installation of such Lender or the LC Issuer, or any corporation or holding company controlling such Lender or the LC Issuer is increased as a result of (i) a Change in Law occurring after the Amendment No. 9 Effective Date or (ii) any change on or after the Amendment No. 9 Effective Date in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines, then, within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender or the LC Issuer, the Borrowers shall pay such Lender or the LC Issuer the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital or liquidity which such Lender or the LC Issuer determines is attributable to this Agreement, its Outstanding Credit Exposure or its Commitment to make Loans and issue or participate in Facility LCs, as the case may be, hereunder (after taking into account such Lender's or the LC Issuer's policies as to capital adequacy or liquidity), in each case that is attributable to such Change in Law or change in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines, as applicable. Failure or delay on the part of such Lender or the LC Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or the LC Issuer's right to demand such compensation; *provided* that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate any Lender or the LC Issuer pursuant to this Section 3.2 for any shortfall suffered more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender or the LC Issuer notifies any Borrower of the Change in Law or change in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines giving rise to such shortfall and of such Lender's or the LC Issuer's intention to claim compensation therefor; *provided further*, that if the Change in Law or change in Risk-Based Capital Guidelines giving rise to such shortfall is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3.<u>Availability of Types of Advances; Adequacy of Interest Rate; Inability to Determine Rates</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;3.3.1<u>Unavailability Generally</u>. Subject to Sections 3.3.2 through 3.3.6 hereof:

------

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, but subject to the remainder of this Section 3.3, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have determined, that after the Amendment No. 9 Effective Date:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)for any reason in connection with any request for an Advance (other than a Base Rate Advance), or a conversion or continuation thereof, that the Adjusted Term SOFR Screen Rate, Adjusted EURIBOR Rate, Adjusted Daily Simple RFR or Adjusted Other Interest Rate, as applicable, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of the funding such Loans, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the interest rate applicable to Advances (other than a Base Rate Advance) is not ascertainable or available (including, without limitation, because the applicable screen on which the rate for such Advance is published (including any successor or substitute page on such screen) is unavailable, and such inability to ascertain or unavailability is not expected to be permanent,

then the Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of the Type of Advance subject thereto and require any affected Advance to be repaid or converted (and redenominated into Dollars, if applicable) to Base Rate Advances, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3.2<u>Benchmark Transition Event</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any agreement evidencing Swap Obligations or all obligations in connection with Rate Management Transactions shall be deemed not to be a "Loan Document" for purposes of this Section 3.3), if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement with respect to Dollars is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" with respect to any Agreed Currency for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3.3<u>Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes</u>. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3.4<u>Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations</u>. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and (B) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.3, including any

------

determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.3.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3.5<u>Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Screen Rate and the EURIBOR Screen Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for any Benchmark settings and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3.6<u>Benchmark Unavailability Period</u>. Upon notice to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 13.1 of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period and until a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with this Section 3.3, the Borrowers may revoke any request for an Advance (other than a Base Rate Advance) impacted by the applicable interest rate being unavailable, or any request for the conversion or continuation of such an Advance (other than a Base Rate Advance) to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period at the end of the applicable Interest Period, and, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request at the end of the applicable Interest Period into a request for a Base Rate Advance or conversion to a Base Rate Advance (each with a corresponding currency redenomination, if applicable). During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Alternate Base Rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4.<u>Funding Indemnification</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;3.4.1Other than RFR Loans and Other Interest Rate Loans that do not accrue interest using Interest Periods, which are covered in Section 3.4.2 below, if (a) any payment of an Advance subject to Interest Periods occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, (b) an Advance (other than a Base Rate Advance not using the Term SOFR component thereof) is not made on the date specified by a Borrower of such Advance for any reason other than default by the Lenders, (c) a Loan subject to Interest Periods is converted other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (d) any Borrower fails to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan (other than a Base Rate Loan not using the Term SOFR component thereof) on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (e) any Loan subject to Interest Periods is assigned by any Lender which is not a Defaulting Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 2.20, the Borrowers will indemnify each Lender for such Lender's reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (other than funding costs and expenses) and Interest Differential (as reasonably determined by such Lender) incurred as a result of the applicable event. The term "<u>Interest Differential</u>" shall mean that sum equal to the greater <br>

------

<br>of zero or the financial loss incurred by the Lender resulting from the applicable foregoing event, calculated as the difference between the amount of interest such Lender would have earned (from the investments in money markets as of the Borrowing Date of such Advance) had such event not occurred and the interest such Lender will actually earn (from like investments in money markets as of the date of such applicable event) as a result of the redeployment of funds from such event. Because of the short-term nature of this facility, the Borrowers agree that Interest Differential shall not be discounted to its present value. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that the Borrowers shall be required to pay Interest Differential with respect to any portion of the principal balance paid or that becomes due before its scheduled due date, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or otherwise, including, without limitation, any principal payment made following default, demand for payment, acceleration, collection proceedings, foreclosure, sale or other disposition of collateral, bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings, eminent domain, condemnation or otherwise. Such prepayment fee shall at all times be an Obligation as well as an undertaking by the Borrowers to the Lenders whether arising out of a voluntary or mandatory prepayment. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount due within 10 days after receipt thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4.2With respect to RFR Loans or Other Interest Rate Loans subject to Payment Date mechanics instead of Interest Period mechanics, in the event of (i) the payment of any principal of any such RFR Loan or Other Interest Rate Loan other than on the Payment Date applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or an optional or mandatory prepayment of Loans), (ii) the failure to borrow or prepay any RFR Loan or Other Interest Rate Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.7 and is revoked in accordance therewith), (iii) the assignment of any RFR Loan or Other Interest Rate Loan other than on the Payment Date applicable thereto as a result of a request by a Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof or (iv) the failure by the applicable Borrower to make any payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereof) denominated in an Agreed Currency (other than Dollars) on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency, then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Company or applicable Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.5.<u>Taxes</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then the applicable Loan Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5) the applicable Lender, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made; *provided*, that no Swiss Borrower shall have any obligation to pay such additional sums with respect to Swiss Withholding Tax; *but provided further*, that the foregoing proviso shall not limit in any way the obligation of the Domestic Borrowers to pay such additional sums with respect to Swiss Withholding Tax applicable to payments made by Swiss Borrowers.

&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)The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

&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 Loan Parties shall indemnify each Lender, each LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted

------

on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.5) payable or paid by such Lender, such LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender, such LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; *provided*, that no Swiss Borrower shall be obligated to indemnify the Lenders, the LC Issuers or the Administrative Agent with respect to amounts for which they are excluded from liability under Section 3.5(a) by the first proviso thereof. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Borrower by a Lender or LC Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or LC Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.2.3 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.5, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent that 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 Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup <br>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 3.5(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;(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 United States Person for U.S. federal income Tax purposes shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if 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 Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at

------

such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)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 Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

&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)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 3.5 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.5), 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 3.5 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (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 paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) 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 indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

&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)Each party's obligations under this Section 3.5 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, <br>the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)For purposes of Sections 3.5(d) and (f), the term "Lender" includes the LC Issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)[Intentionally Omitted]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k)If Swiss Withholding Tax becomes due in respect of any interest payable by a Swiss Borrower under this Agreement, the applicable interest rate in relation to that interest payment shall be (i) the interest rate which would have applied to that interest payment (as provided for in Sections 2.10 and 2.11 in the absence of this Section 3.5(k) divided by (ii) 1 minus the rate at which the deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax is required to be made and (a) that the Swiss Borrower shall be obliged to pay the relevant interest at the adjusted rate in accordance with this Section 3.5(k) and (b) all references to a rate of interest in Sections 2.10 and 2.11 shall be construed accordingly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.6.<u>Selection of Lending Installation; Mitigation Obligations; Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity</u>. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Revolving Loans and its participation in Swing Line Loans and Facility LCs to reduce any liability of the Borrowers to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5 or to avoid the

------

unavailability of Advances or Loans under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not, in the judgment of such Lender, materially disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrowers in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender, including the Swing Line Lender, funded its Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the interest rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrowers of such written statement. The obligations of the Borrowers under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.7.<u>Non-U.S. Reserve Costs or Fees</u>. If any law or any governmental or quasi- governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive of any jurisdiction outside of the United States of America or any subdivision thereof (whether or not having the force of law), imposes or deems applicable any reserve requirement against or fee with respect to assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation, and the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or applicable Lending Installation of making or maintaining its Loans to any Foreign Borrower or its Commitment to any Foreign Borrower or to reduce the return received by such Lender or applicable Lending Installation in connection with such Loans to any Foreign Borrower or Commitment to any Foreign Borrower, then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender, such Foreign Borrower shall pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amount received.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.8.<u>Illegality</u>. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Amendment No. 9 Effective Date that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain, or fund Advances whose interest is determined by reference to an interest rate other than the Base Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon a particular rate provided hereunder (other than the Base Rate), or any Governmental Authority has imposed after the Amendment No. 9 Effective Date material restrictions on the authority of such Lender <br>to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, the applicable Agreed Currency in the applicable interbank market, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Company (through the Administrative Agent), (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Advances using the applicable interest rate or to convert Base Rate Advances to Advances using such applicable interest rate shall be suspended, and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Term SOFR Advances, then any computation of the Base Rate shall exclude the Term SOFR Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Company shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all affected Advances of such Lender to Base Rate Advances (excluding the Term SOFR Rate component thereof, as applicable), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor (or, for an RFR Loan or impacted Other Interest Rate Loan, the next Business Day after receipt of such notice), if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such affected Advances to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such affected Advances and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Term SOFR component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Term SOFR Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.4.

------

The execution and delivery by each Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by proper corporate, limited liability company or partnership proceedings, and the Loan Documents to which each Loan Party is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of such Loan Party enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally.

No order, consent, adjudication, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, or other action in respect of any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, which has not been obtained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, is required to be obtained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the borrowings under this Agreement, the payment and performance by the Loan Parties of the Obligations or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.5.<u>Material Adverse Change</u>. Since December 31, 2024, there has been no change in the business, Property, liabilities (actual or contingent), operations, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.6.<u>Taxes</u>.

On the basis of this consideration, the Company has concluded that Environmental Laws cannot reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice to the effect that its operations are not in material compliance with any of the requirements of applicable Environmental Laws or are the subject of any federal <br>or state investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a release of any toxic or hazardous waste or substance into the environment, which non-compliance or remedial action could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

In computing the amount of contingent liabilities at any time, it is intended that such liabilities will be computed at the amount which, in light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The Company does not intend to, or to permit any of its Subsidiaries to, and does not believe that it or any of its Subsidiaries will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature in their ordinary course.

&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)No Foreign Borrower nor any of their respective assets is entitled to immunity from suit, execution, attachment or other legal process. Each Foreign Borrower's execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to which it is a party constitute, and the exercise of its rights and performance of and compliance with its obligations under such Loan Documents will constitute, private and commercial acts done and performed for private and commercial purposes.

&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)It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the representations and warranties in this Section 5.21 of each Foreign Borrower shall only be applicable to such Foreign Borrower on and after the date of its execution of its Assumption Letter.

For purposes of this

------

Section 5.22, the term "material" means any noncompliance or basis for liability which could reasonably be likely to subject the Company or any of its Subsidiary to liability, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $25,000,000.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.23.<u>Sanctioned Persons</u>. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of the Company and its Subsidiaries, any of their respective directors, officers or employees is a Sanctioned Person.

If any other Event of Default occurs, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) may (a) terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation and power of the LC Issuer to issue Facility LCs, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrowers hereby expressly waive, and (b) upon notice to the Borrowers and in addition to the continuing right to demand payment of all amounts payable under this Agreement, make demand on the Borrowers to pay, and the Borrowers will, forthwith upon such demand and without any further notice or act, pay to the Administrative Agent the Collateral Shortfall Amount, which funds shall be deposited in the Facility LC Collateral Account.

&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)At any time while any Event of Default is continuing, neither a Borrower nor any Person claiming on behalf of or through a Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the Facility LC Collateral Account.

After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.1 (or after the Obligations have automatically become immediately due and payable as set forth in the first sentence of Section 8.1(a)), any amounts received by the Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order; <u>provided</u>, that only amounts received from or in respect of the Company shall be applied under each of Section 8.2.1 through and including Section 8.2.7; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that amounts received from or in respect of a Borrower other than the Company only shall be applied under Sections 8.2.3 through and including 8.2.6 to pay Obligations directly owing by such Borrower in respect of such Borrower's direct borrowings or for which such Borrower is solely liable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)without the consent of all of the Lenders other than any Defaulting Lender, reduce the percentage specified in, or otherwise amend, the definition of Required Lenders or any other provision of this Agreement specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)solely during a Collateral and Guaranty Period and except as otherwise provided in Section 9.21 (as in effect on the Amendment No. 9 Effective Date) without the consent of all of the Lenders, release (or have the effect of releasing) all or substantially all of the Collateral; or

No delay or omission of the Lenders, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Credit Extension notwithstanding the existence of an Event of Default or the inability of the Borrowers to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Credit Extension shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.3, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders until Payment in Full.

The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that in the event that U.S. Bank is appointed as Collateral Agent, its ability to take actions (or to not take actions) as Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral and the Security Documents may require the consent of some or all of the holders of the Private Placement Indebtedness.

Except as provided to the contrary herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted and all accounting determinations hereunder shall be made in accordance with GAAP in a manner consistent with that used in preparing the financial statements referred to in Section 5.4; *provided*, *however* that, notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made without giving effect to any election under Accounting Standards Codification 825-10-25 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at "fair value", as defined therein, or (ii) without giving effect to any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to <br>value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and the Company, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrowers shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); *provided*, that, until so amended, such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and the Company shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders reconciliation statements showing the difference in such calculation, together with the delivery of monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements required hereunder. In addition, notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, in the event of a change of the treatment of operating leases under GAAP (e.g. Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 842), thereafter the definitions set forth in this Agreement and any financial calculations required by the Loan Documents shall be computed to exclude any change to operating lease accounting rules and all lease liabilities and right of use assets related to operating leases shall be excluded from all calculations made for the purpose of determining compliance with the financial ratios and financial covenants contained in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.9.<u>Severability of Provisions</u>. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.10.<u>Nonliability of Lenders</u>. The relationship between the Borrowers on the one hand and the Lenders, the LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender.

The Borrowers agree that neither the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the LC Issuer nor any Lender shall have liability to the Borrowers (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by the Borrowers in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the LC Issuer nor any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrowers hereby waive, release and agree not to sue for, any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages suffered by the Borrowers in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby. It is agreed that the Arranger shall, in its capacity as such, have no duties or responsibilities under the Agreement or any other Loan Document. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied and will not

------

rely on the Arranger in deciding to enter into the Agreement or any other Loan Document or in taking or not taking any action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.11.<u>Confidentiality</u>. The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to hold any confidential information which it may receive from the Borrowers in connection with this Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure to (i) its Affiliates and to the Administrative Agent and any other Lender and their respective Affiliates (it being understood that such Persons to whom disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and will be instructed to keep such information confidential), (ii) legal counsel, accountants, and other professional advisors to the Administrative Agent or such Lender provided any such parties agree to be bound by this Section 9.11 or comparable confidentiality provisions (iii) the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it, (iv) the extent the Administrative Agent or the Lender in good faith believes that such disclosure is required to effect compliance with any applicable law, rule, regulation or order or in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (v) any Person in connection with any legal proceeding to which it is a party, (vi) its direct or indirect contractual counterparties in swap agreements, derivatives, credit insurance or other transactions under which payments are to be made by reference to the Company or any Subsidiary and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, or to legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors to such counterparties, provided such parties agree to be bound by this Section 9.11 or comparable confidentiality provisions, (vii) as permitted by Section 12.4, (viii) to rating agencies if required by such agencies in connection with a rating relating to the Advances hereunder, (ix) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, and (x) to the extent such information (1) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.11 or (2) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or any other Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers not known by the recipient after due inquiry to be bound by a duty or other obligation of confidentiality to a Borrower. Without limiting Section 9.4, the Borrowers agree that the terms of this Section 9.11 shall set forth the entire agreement between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and each Lender with respect to any confidential information previously or hereafter received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection with this Agreement, and this Section 9.11 shall supersede any and all prior confidentiality agreements entered into by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to such confidential information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document prohibits any Person from communicating or disclosing information regarding suspected violations of laws, rules or regulations to a Governmental Authority or self-regulatory authority.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.16.<u>Erroneous Payments</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, LC Issuer or other holder of any Obligations (each, a "<u>Lender Party</u>"), or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender Party (any such Lender Party or other recipient, a "<u>Payment Recipient</u>"), that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not such error is known to any Payment Recipient) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an "<u>Erroneous Payment</u>") and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Payment Recipient shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), if any Payment Recipient receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) that (x) is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error (in whole or in part):

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i.(A) in the case of immediately preceding clause (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) in the case of immediately preceding clause (z), an error has been made, in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii.such Payment Recipient shall promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.16(b).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Each Lender Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender Party under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)An Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations, except to the extent such Erroneous Payment comprises funds received by the Administrative Agent from a Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Payment Recipient hereby agrees not to assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment, including without limitation any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine, with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment.

Each party's agreements under this Section 9.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or LC Issuer, the termination of the Commitments, or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of any or all Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.17.<u>Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs</u>. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Rate Management Transactions 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):

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 <br>such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of <br>

------

<br>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.

For purposes hereof, 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.

"Covered Entity" means:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)a "covered entity" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)a "covered bank" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.18.<u>Term SOFR Notifications</u>. The interest rate on Term SOFR Advances is determined by reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR Screen Rate, which is derived from Term SOFR. Section 3.3 provides a mechanism for (a) determining an alternative rate of interest if Term SOFR is no longer available or in the other circumstances set forth in Section 3.3, and (b) modifying this Agreement to give effect to such alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to Term SOFR or other rates in the definition of Term SOFR Rate or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including any Benchmark Replacement), including without limitation, whether any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate (including any Benchmark Replacement), as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 3.3, will have the same value as, or be economically equivalent to, the Term SOFR Rate. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of Base Rate, Term SOFR, the Term SOFR Rate, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Rate, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to any Borrower, any Lender or any other person or <br>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 calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.19.<u>Additional Eligible Currencies; Daily Simple SOFR</u>. The Company may from time to time request that Revolving Loans be made in a currency other than those specifically listed in the definition of "Agreed Currencies"; <u>provided</u> that such requested currency otherwise meets the requirements set forth in "Eligible Currency". Any such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof) not later than 11:00 a.m. twenty Business Days prior to the date of the desired Credit Extension. Each Revolving Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m. ten Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to making Revolving Loans in such requested currency. Any failure by a Revolving Lender to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Revolving Lender to make Revolving Loans in such requested currency. If all the Revolving Lenders consent to making Revolving Loans in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Company and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Agreed Currency hereunder (a "Future Agreed Currency"). Interest on extensions of credit denominated in such Future Agreed Currencies may require interest rate determinations and calculations, including determinations of credit spread adjustments, as contemplated by the definition of Other Interest Rate or which are not included in this Agreement as of the Amendment No. 9 Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, prior to any such Future Agreed Currency becoming available hereunder, the Borrowers and the Revolving Lenders extending Revolving Loans in such Future Agreed Currencies shall amend this Agreement, on terms and conditions acceptable to all of them, as needed in order to include such interest rate mechanics. Daily Simple SOFR is included herein solely as an alternative Benchmark when Term SOFR is unavailable. So long as Term SOFR is available as a Benchmark, no Loan shall be made hereunder that accrues interest at Daily Simple SOFR.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.20.<u>Termination of Guaranty</u>. As of the Amendment No. 6 Effective Date, the parties hereto agree that the Guaranty is automatically, irrevocably and unconditionally discharged, released and terminated (and the guarantees thereunder are automatically, irrevocably and unconditionally discharged, released and terminated) and, in each case, of no further force and effect without the need for any further action by any Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.21.<u>Collateral and Guaranty Release Date</u>. (a) At any time after a Collateral and Guaranty Event:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)an upgrade in a Corporate Rating occurs causing the Company to have at least two (2) Corporate Ratings that are Investment Grade Ratings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)at the time of and immediately after giving effect to any such release and termination requested pursuant to clause (iii) below, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)the Company shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent a written notice, executed by an Authorized Officer of the Company, which shall certify as to the current Corporate Ratings and that the conditions set forth above have been satisfied and sets forth the Company's request that the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent execute and deliver all documents, and take all such actions and provide all such authorizations, to evidence the release of each Loan Party's obligations <br>under the Security and Guaranty Documents and all Liens granted to the Collateral Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral and release all Guarantors from any guarantee agreement to which it is a party;

(such date on which all of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above are satisfied, a "<u>Collateral and Guaranty Release Date</u>"); the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to, and the Administrative Agent shall, within a reasonable period of time following

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)At any time after a Collateral and Guaranty Event, upon (A) the consummation of any sale, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral to a Person that is not a Loan Party or a Subsidiary pursuant to a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, under Section 6.15) the Administrative Agent (including in its capacity as Collateral Agent) and the Lenders agree that any and all security interests granted pursuant to any Loan Document shall automatically terminate and be released or (B) the consummation of any sale, transfer or other disposition of any Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to a Person that is not a Loan Party or a Subsidiary pursuant to a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, under Section 6.15) the Administrative Agent (including in its capacity as Collateral Agent) and the Lenders agree that any and all security interests granted pursuant to any Loan Document by such Subsidiary and any guarantee by such Subsidiary with respect to the Obligations shall automatically terminate and be released (any such event described in clauses (A) or (B), a "<u>Disposition Event</u>"); <u>provided</u> that all such releases and terminations shall not be granted unless the holders of the Private Placement Indebtedness or any other pari passu holders of Indebtedness (to the extent any is outstanding and secured) have substantially simultaneously granted such releases and terminations of the Liens securing, and guarantees of, all the Private Placement Indebtedness or such other pari passu Indebtedness. Upon the occurrence of a Disposition Event, the Administrative Agent hereby agrees (at the Company's sole cost and expense) to promptly to take such actions, as the Company shall reasonably request, to evidence such termination and release.

U.S. Bank National Association is hereby appointed by each of the Lenders as its contractual representative (herein referred to as the "<u>Administrative Agent</u>") hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the contractual representative of such Lender with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article X. Notwithstanding the use of the defined term "Administrative Agent," it is expressly understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and that the Administrative Agent is merely acting as the contractual representative of the Lenders with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In its capacity as the Lenders' contractual representative, the <br>Administrative Agent (i) does not hereby assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders, is a "representative" of the Lenders within the meaning of the term "secured party" as defined in the Minnesota Uniform Commercial Code and (iii) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to assert no claim against the Administrative Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender hereby waives.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.2.<u>Powers</u>. The Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.3.<u>General Immunity</u>. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrowers or any Borrower, the Lenders or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith except to the extent such action or inaction is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.4.<u>No Responsibility for Loans, Recitals, etc</u>. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to each Lender; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV, except receipt of items required to be delivered solely to the Administrative Agent; (d) the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default; (e) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (f) the value, sufficiency, creation, perfection or priority of any Lien in any collateral security; or (g) the financial condition of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders within thirty (30) days after the resigning Administrative Agent's giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.16.<u>Co-Agents, Documentation Agent, Syndication Agent, etc</u>. Neither any of the Lenders identified in this Agreement as a "co- agent" nor any Documentation Agent, Syndication Agent or any arrangers or bookrunners listed on the cover page hereof shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, other than those applicable to all Lenders as such, but each such Person shall have the benefit of the indemnities and exculpatory provisions hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the foregoing Persons shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to such Lenders as it makes with respect to the Administrative Agent in Section 10.11.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.17.<u>No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility</u>.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.1.<u>Successors and Assigns</u>. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrowers shall not have the right to assign their rights or obligations under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each Lender, (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.3, and (iii) any transfer by participation must be made in compliance with Section 12.2. Any attempted assignment or transfer by any party not made in compliance with this Section 12.1 shall be null and void, unless such attempted assignment or transfer is treated as a participation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that clause (ii) of this Section 12.1 relates only to absolute assignments and this Section 12.1 does not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, (x) any pledge or assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank or (y) in the case of a Lender which is a Fund, any pledge or assignment of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee; *provided, however*, that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions of Section 12.3. The Administrative Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 12.3; *provided, however*, that the Administrative Agent may in its discretion (but shall not be required to) follow instructions from the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note to direct payments relating to such Loan or Note to another Person. Any assignee of the rights to any Loan or any Note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan.

Any reference in this Agreement or any Loan Document to "Bank of America Merrill Lynch International Limited" is a reference to its successor in title Bank of America Merrill Lynch International Designated Activity Company (including, without limitation, its branches) pursuant to and with effect from <br>the merger between Bank of America Merrill Lynch International Limited and Bank of America Merrill Lynch International Designated Activity Company that takes effect in accordance with the Cross-Border Mergers Directive (2005/56/EC) (as codified) as implemented in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Loan Document, a transfer of rights and obligations from Bank of America Merrill Lynch International Limited to Bank of America Merrill Lynch International Designated Activity Company pursuant to such merger shall be permitted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.2.1<u>Permitted Participants; Effect</u>. Any Lender, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers, may at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities ("<u>Participants</u>") participating interests in any Outstanding Credit Exposure owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of its Outstanding Credit Exposure and the holder of any Note issued to it in evidence thereof for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrowers under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under the Loan Documents.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.2.2<u>Voting Rights</u>. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents provided that each such Lender may agree in its participation agreement with its Participant that such Lender will not vote to approve any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Outstanding Credit Exposure or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which would require consent of all of the Lenders (or all affected Lenders, if such amendment, modification or wavier would affect the Participant) pursuant to the terms of Section 8.3 or of any other Loan Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.2.3<u>Benefit of Certain Provisions</u>. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents, *provided* that each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 11.2 as if each Participant were a Lender. The Borrowers further agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, 9.6 and 9.10 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.3, *provided* that (i) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 than the Lender who sold the participating interest to such Participant would have received had it retained such interest for its own account, unless the sale of such interest to such Participant is made with the prior written consent of the Borrowers, and (ii) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.5 than the Lender who sold the participating interest to such Participant would have received had it retained such interest for its own account (A) except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in treaty, law or regulation (or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by <br>any Governmental Authority) that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation and (B), in the case of any Participant that would be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender, such Participant agrees to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.5(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in any Outstanding Credit Exposure, any Note, any Commitment or any other obligations under the Loan Documents (the "<u>Participant Register</u>"); *provided* that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any Outstanding Credit Exposure, any Note, any Commitment or any other obligations under the Loan Documents) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Outstanding Credit Exposure, any Note, any Commitment or any other obligations under the Loan Documents is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.3.<u>Assignments</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;12.3.1<u>Permitted Assignments</u>. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees ("<u>Purchasers</u>") all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit C</u> or in such other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent as may be agreed to by the parties thereto. Each such assignment with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund shall either be in an amount equal to the entire applicable

------

Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure of the assigning Lender or (unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents) be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000. The amount of the assignment shall be based on the Commitment or Outstanding Credit Exposure (if the Commitment has been terminated) subject to the assignment, determined as of the date of such assignment or as of the "Trade Date," if the "Trade Date" is specified in the assignment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.3.2<u>Consents</u>. The consent of the Company shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective unless the Purchaser is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund and such Purchaser is a Qualifying Bank; provided, that the consent of the Company shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided further that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof. In such consent request, the assigning Lender shall indicate whether or not the Purchaser is a Qualifying Bank, and if no respective indications are made, the Purchaser shall be treated as a Non-Bank Lender. The Company shall have the right to request from the Lender a tax ruling issued by the Swiss Federal Tax Administration if it has reasonable doubt to believe that the designated Purchaser is not a Qualifying Bank or, as the case may be, may count as more than one Non-Bank Lenders. The consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective unless the Purchaser is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund. The consent of the LC Issuer shall be required prior to an assignment of a Revolving Commitment becoming effective unless the Purchaser is a Lender with a Revolving <br>Commitment. Any consent required under this Section 12.3.2 shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, whereas consent shall not be deemed to have been unreasonably withheld if such transfer would result in a violation of the 10 Non-Bank Rule.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.3.3<u>Effect; Effective Date</u>. Upon (i) delivery to the Administrative Agent of an assignment, together with any consents required by Sections 12.3.1 and 12.3.2, and (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee to the Administrative Agent for processing such assignment (unless such fee is waived by the Administrative Agent), such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such assignment. The assignment shall contain a representation by the Purchaser to the effect that none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure under the applicable assignment agreement constitutes "plan assets" as defined under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan Documents will not be "plan assets" under ERISA. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by or on behalf of the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party thereto, and the transferor Lender shall be released with respect to the Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure assigned to such Purchaser without any further consent or action by the Borrowers, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent. In the case of an assignment covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to, those provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents which survive payment of the Obligations and termination of the applicable agreement. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.3 shall be null and void, ab initio and the Administrative Agent shall have the right to cause the unwinding of any such purported assignment. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 12.3.3, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall, if the transferor Lender or the Purchaser desires that its Loans be evidenced by Notes, make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their respective Commitments, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment, and upon return and cancellation of any existing Notes, as 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;12.3.4<u>Register</u>. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States of

------

America, a copy of each assignment agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender, and participations of each Lender in Facility LCs, pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "<u>Register</u>"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or any Lender 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;12.4.<u>Dissemination of Information</u>. The Borrowers authorize each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a "<u>Transferee</u>") and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender's possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including without limitation any information contained in any Reports; *provided* that each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by Section 9.11 of this Agreement or comparable confidentiality provisions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.5.<u>Tax Treatment</u>. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee which is not incorporated under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5(f).

## Exhibit 99.1

**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE**

**Polaris Announces Amendment to Existing Credit Agreement and Full Prepayment of Senior Notes**

*Covenant Relief Enhances Financial Flexibility and Supports Long-Term Growth*

**MINNEAPOLIS, MN – (July 2, 2025) –** Polaris Inc. (NYSE: PII), the global leader in powersports, today announced that on June 27, 2025 it executed an amendment to its existing credit facilities, originally dated July 2, 2018. In addition, the company also fully repaid all $350 million of outstanding senior notes due 2028. The debt prepayment was funded through revolving loans under the company's senior credit facilities.

The amendment modifies the existing credit agreement to include several key updates:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Extension of Maturity**: The maturity date of the incremental term loan has been extended to June 26, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Covenant Relief Period**: Financial covenants have been modified for the period from June 30, 2025 through June 30, 2026, or an earlier date as designated by Polaris.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Limitations During Covenant Relief Period**: Polaris can continue to pay its regular quarterly dividend as approved by the Polaris Inc. Board of Directors and repurchase shares to offset dilution from equity plans. Polaris will be restricted from paying dividends beyond regular quarterly dividends, and from incurring certain subsidiary-level debt, subject to certain exceptions.

The amended credit agreement remains subject to covenants and events of default that are generally consistent with the prior agreement.

Polaris Chief Financial Officer Bob Mack commented, "As we continue to navigate a dynamic tariff environment, we have proactively amended our existing bank credit facility to allow more covenant flexibility within the agreement. We appreciate the continued partnership from our bank group in supporting our focus on long-term growth and profitability that we believe will enable us to emerge stronger from this dynamic period and reinforce our position as the industry leader in powersports."

For more information, please refer to the full text of the amendment filed as Exhibit 10.1 to Polaris' Current Report on Form 8-K.
