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

On March 16, 2026, Oshkosh Corporation (the "<u>Company</u>") entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "<u>Credit Agreement</u>") among the Company, the various lenders and letter of credit issuers party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the "<u>Agent</u>"). The Credit Agreement replaced the Company's existing Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 23, 2022 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date of the Credit Agreement, the "<u>Existing Credit Agreement</u>"), among the Company, the various lenders and letter of credit issuers party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, which provided for an unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.55 billion.

The Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured revolving credit facility that matures in March 2031 with an initial maximum aggregate amount of availability of $1.6 billion. The Company may increase the aggregate amount of the credit facilities under the Credit Agreement from time to time by an aggregate amount of up to $800 million, provided that certain conditions are satisfied, including that the Company is not in default under the Credit Agreement at the time of the increase and that the Company obtains the consent of the lenders participating in the increase. Such increases may be in the form of increases in the existing revolving commitments under the Credit Agreement, the addition of term loan commitments under the Credit Agreement (the terms and conditions of which would be agreed upon with the lenders agreeing to make such term loans at the time of the increase), increases in any such term loan commitments or a combination of any such increases or additional commitments.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate equal to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· for dollar-denominated revolving loans only, at the Company's election, (a) Term SOFR (the forward-looking secured overnight financing rate) plus a specified margin, which may be adjusted upward or downward depending on whether certain criteria are satisfied, or (b) the base rate (which is the highest of (x) Bank of America, N.A.'s prime rate, (y) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or (z) the sum of 1.00% plus one-month Term SOFR) plus a specified margin, which may be adjusted upward or downward depending on whether certain criteria are satisfied;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;·for revolving loans denominated in foreign currencies for which a daily rate will apply, (a) for such loans denominated in pounds sterling only, SONIA (the sterling overnight index average reference rate) plus a specified margin, which may be adjusted upward or downward depending on whether certain criteria are satisfied, or (b) for such loans denominated in other foreign currencies, a designated daily rate per annum plus any adjustment, each as determined by the Agent, the revolving lenders and the Company, plus a specified margin, which may be adjusted upward or downward depending on whether certain criteria are satisfied; 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;·for revolving loans denominated in foreign currencies for which a forward-looking term rate will apply during the applicable interest period selected by the Company, (a) for such loans denominated in euros, Japanese yen, Australian dollars or Canadian dollars, respectively, EURIBOR, TIBOR, BBSY or Term CORRA (subject, in the case of Term CORRA, to standard adjustments), respectively, in each case plus a specified margin, which may be adjusted upward or downward depending on whether certain criteria are satisfied, or (b) for such loans denominated in other foreign currencies, a designated term rate per annum plus any adjustment, each as determined by the Agent, the revolving lenders and the Company, plus a specified margin, which may be adjusted upward or downward depending on whether certain criteria are satisfied.

The Company must also pay (i) an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.080% to 0.200% per annum of the actual daily unused portion of the aggregate revolving credit commitments under the Credit Agreement and (ii) a fee ranging from 0.4375% to 1.5000% per annum of the maximum amount available to be drawn for each letter of credit issued and outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants, including a requirement that the Company maintain a leverage ratio at certain levels (as detailed below), subject to certain exceptions, restrictions on the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to consolidate or merge, create liens, incur additional subsidiary indebtedness and consummate acquisitions and a restriction on the disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.

The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a maximum leverage ratio (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of (a) the Company's consolidated indebtedness less the aggregate amount of the unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of the Company and its subsidiaries as of such date in excess of $100 million to (b) the Company's consolidated net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash charges and certain other items) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of 3.75 to 1.00, subject to the Company's right to temporarily increase the maximum leverage ratio to up to 4.25 to 1.00 in connection with certain material acquisitions.

The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default. If an event of default under the Credit Agreement occurs and is continuing, then the lenders may declare any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable. In addition, if the Company or any material subsidiary becomes the subject of voluntary or involuntary proceedings under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, then any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement will automatically become immediately due and payable. Revolving loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate of 2.0% per annum in excess of the otherwise applicable rate upon acceleration of such loans or, upon the lenders' request, during the continuance of any event of default under the Credit Agreement.

On March 16, 2026, the Company also entered into that certain First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the "<u>Amendment</u>") among the Company, the lenders party thereto, and PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, which amends the Company's existing Credit Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2025 (the "<u>Existing Term Loan Credit Agreement</u>", as amended by the Amendment, the "<u>Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement</u>"), among the Company, the various lenders party thereto, and PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, which provides for a $500 million unsecured term loan facility. The Amendment conforms certain of the terms of the Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement to those in the Credit Agreement.

The foregoing descriptions of the Credit Agreement and the Amendment do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement or the Amendment, as applicable, filed herewith as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

The proceeds of all such Loans will then be made available to the applicable Borrower by the Agent at such office by crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as and when received by the Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) After giving effect to any Borrowing, unless the Agent shall otherwise consent, there may not be more than 15 different Interest Periods in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Agent to accept Notices of Borrowing based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of such Borrower.

If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Agent and the Lenders shall govern 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;(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or the 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 Agent and such Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.04 <u>Conversion and Continuation Elections</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Each Borrower may, upon irrevocable notice to the Agent in accordance with <u>Section 2.04(b)</u>:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) elect to convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans or elect to convert Term SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans, as applicable; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, (A) any partial conversion of any such Loans shall be in (1) an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount agreed to by the Agent), and (2) an integral multiple of $500,000, and (B) any conversion of any such Term SOFR Loans into Base Rate Loans may occur only on the last day of the applicable Interest Period therefor; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) elect as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, to continue any Term SOFR Loans or any Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans having Interest Periods expiring on such day (or any part thereof in an aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount that is (A) not less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount agreed to by the Agent), and (B) an integral multiple of 500,000 units of the Applicable Currency);

<u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, if at any time the aggregate amount of any Loans (other than Base Rate Loans) in respect of any Borrowing is reduced, by payment, prepayment or conversion of part thereof to be less than the Dollar Equivalent of $5,000,000, such Loans shall (x) if denominated in Dollars, be converted into Base Rate Loans, or (y) if denominated in an Alternative Currency, be prepaid, in each case on the last day of the Interest Period therefor (or, with respect to any Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans, on the date of such reduction).

&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 Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to be received by the Agent not later than 10:30 a.m. (local time) at least (i) two Business Days in advance of the Conversion/Continuation Date, if the applicable Loans are to be converted into or continued as Term SOFR Loans denominated in Dollars, (ii) four Business Days in advance of the Conversion/Continuation Date, if the applicable Revolving Loans are to be continued as Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans denominated in a currency specified in the definition of "Alternative Currency" on the Effective Date, (iii) the number of Business Days determined by the Agent to be customary for its syndicated credit facilities, if the applicable Revolving Loans are to be continued as Alternative Currency Loans in a currency not covered by the preceding <u>clause (ii)</u> above, and (iv) on the Conversion/Continuation Date, if the applicable Loans are to be converted into Base Rate Loans, specifying:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) the proposed Conversion/Continuation Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) the aggregate amount of Loans to be converted or continued;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) the Type of Loans resulting from the proposed conversion or continuation; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) to the extent the resulting Loans are Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, the duration of the requested Interest Period; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, if the applicable Borrower is requesting that such Loans have an Interest Period other than one, three or six months (as applicable) as provided in the definition of "Interest Period", the applicable Notice of Conversion/Continuation must be received by the Agent not later than 10:30 a.m. (local time) at least (1) four Business Days prior to the requested Conversion/Continuation Date, if the resulting Loans are to be Term SOFR Loans, whereupon the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the applicable Lenders and determine whether the requested Interest Period is consented to by all of them (it being understood and agreed that, not later than 11:00 a.m. (local time), three Business Days prior to the requested Conversion/Continuation Date, the Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all of the applicable Lenders), (2) six Business Days prior to the requested Conversion/Continuation Date, if the resulting Loans are to be Alternative Currency Loans denominated in a currency specified in the definition of "Alternative Currency" on the Effective Date, whereupon the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the applicable Lenders and determine whether the requested Interest Period is consented to by all of them (it being understood and agreed that, not later than 11:00 a.m. (local time), five Business Days prior to the requested Conversion/Continuation Date, the Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all of the applicable Lenders), and (3) two additional Business Days prior to the date on which a Notice of Conversion/Continuation is otherwise required to be delivered pursuant to this <u>Section 2.04(b)</u>, if the resulting Loans are to be Alternative Currency Loans denominated in a currency not specified in the definition of "Alternative Currency" on the Effective Date, whereupon the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the applicable Lenders and determine whether the requested Interest Period is consented to by all of them (it being understood and agreed that, not later than 11:00 a.m. (local time), on the Business Day immediately following such request, the Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all of the applicable 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;(c) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Term SOFR Loans or any Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, a Borrower has failed to select timely a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, as the case may be, then such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to continue such Loans as Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, as applicable, denominated in the same currency and having a one-month Interest Period effective as of the expiration date of such expiring Interest Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, or, if no timely notice is provided by a Borrower, of the details of any automatic conversion or continuation. All conversions and continuations shall be made ratably according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans with respect to which the notice was given held by each Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Unless the Required Revolving Lenders or Required Add-On Term Lenders of any Add-On Term Facility, as applicable, otherwise consent, during the existence of a Specified Default, no Borrower may elect to have a Revolving Loan or an Add-On Term Loan of such Class converted into or continued as a Term SOFR Loan or an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan.

&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) During the existence of an Event of Default, the Required Revolving Lenders may require, by notice to the Borrowers and the Agent, that all outstanding Revolving Loans that are Alternative Currency Loans be prepaid, or be redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof (such prepayment or redenomination, in the case of any Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, to occur on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect 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;(g) After giving effect to any conversion or continuation of Loans, unless the Agent shall otherwise consent, there may not be more than 15 different Interest Periods in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Agent to accept Notices of Conversion/Continuation based on telephonic notices made by any Person, the Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of such Borrower. Each Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Agent a written confirmation of each telephonic notice, signed by a Responsible Officer or an authorized designee of such Borrower. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.05 <u>The Swing Line Loans</u>.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Swing Line Lender may in its sole discretion make Swing Line Loans denominated in Dollars to the Company or, subject to the mutual agreement of such Swing Line Lender and a Borrower, any other Borrower, in each case from time to time prior to the Revolving Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the Swing Line Sublimit; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, (a) after giving effect to any such Swing Line Loan, the Total Revolving Usage shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, and (b) unless otherwise agreed to by the applicable Swing Line Lender in its sole discretion, after giving effect to the extension of all Swing Line Loans, the aggregate outstanding amount of all Swing Line Loans of any Swing Line Lender shall not exceed such Swing Line Lender's Swing Line Commitment. Prior to the Revolving Termination Date, each Borrower may use the Swing Line Sublimit by borrowing, prepaying the Swing Line Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. All Swing Line Loans shall bear interest at the Swing Line Rate and shall not be entitled to be converted into Loans that bear interest at any other rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.06 <u>Procedure for Swing Line 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 Borrower may borrow under the Swing Line Sublimit on any Business Day until the Revolving Termination Date; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, (i) in the case of a borrowing of Swing Line Loans provided by a Swing Line Lender to a Subsidiary Borrower, such Swing Line Lender shall have agreed to provide Swing Line Loans to such Subsidiary Borrower, and (ii) the applicable Borrower shall give the applicable Swing Line Lender irrevocable written notice signed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower (which notice must be received by the applicable Swing Line Lender prior to 2:00 p.m. (local time) (or such later time as may be agreed by the applicable Swing Line Lender in its sole discretion)) with a copy to the Agent specifying the amount of the requested Swing Line Loan, which shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000, and the requested Swing Line Rate to be applicable thereto (which rate shall be in accordance with the requirements set forth in the definition of "Swing Line Rate"). Unless the applicable Swing Line Lender has received prior notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Agent on the date of the proposed Swing Line Loan that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in <u>Article V</u> is not then satisfied, the proceeds of a requested Swing Line Loan will be made available by such Swing Line Lender to the applicable Borrower in Same Day Funds at the office of such Swing Line Lender by 4:00 p.m. (local time) on the date of such notice of borrowing (or such later time as may be agreed by the applicable Borrower and the applicable Swing Line Lender in the case of any Swing Line Loan being made pursuant to a notice of borrowing received after 2:00 p.m. (local time)). The Company may at any time and from time to time, prepay the Swing Line Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, by notifying the applicable Swing Line Lender prior to 2:00 p.m. (local time) (or such later time as may be agreed by the applicable Swing Line Lender in its sole discretion) on any Business Day of the date and amount of prepayment with a copy to the Agent. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Partial prepayments shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000.

&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 any Swing Line Loan shall remain outstanding at 11:00 a.m. (local time) on the fifth Business Day following the date of such Swing Line Loan and if by such time on such fifth Business Day the Agent shall not have received either (i) a Notice of Borrowing delivered by the Company pursuant to <u>Section 2.03</u> requesting that Revolving Loans be made pursuant to <u>Section 2.01</u> on the immediately succeeding Business Day in an amount at least equal to the principal amount of such Swing Line Loan for the purpose of refunding such Swing Line Loan, or (ii) any other notice satisfactory to the Agent indicating the Company's intent to repay such Swing Line Loan on or before the immediately succeeding Business Day with funds obtained from other sources or to extend such Swing Line Loan, then on such Business Day the applicable Swing Line Lender shall (and on any Business Day such Swing Line Lender in its sole discretion may), on behalf of the Company (which hereby irrevocably directs such Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf) request the Agent to notify each Revolving Lender to make a Revolving Loan consisting of a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender's Revolving Percentage of (A) in the case of such a request which is required to be made, the amount of the relevant Swing Line Loan, and (B) in the case of such a discretionary request, the aggregate principal amount of the Swing Line Loans outstanding on the date such notice is given; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, absent notice by the Company to the contrary by such time on such fifth Business Day, the Company shall be deemed to have requested, at the end of such five Business Day period, that each outstanding Swing Line Loan be extended for an additional period of five Business Days, so long as the conditions specified in <u>Section 5.02</u> would be satisfied at the beginning of each such additional period, treating each such extension as if it were the making of a new Loan. Unless any of the events described in <u>Section 9.01(f)</u> or <u>Section 9.01(g)</u> shall have occurred with respect to the Company (in which event the procedures of <u>subsection (d)</u> of this <u>Section 2.06</u> shall apply) each Revolving Lender shall make the proceeds of its Revolving Loan available to the Agent (and the Agent may during a Specified Default apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the applicable Swing Line Lender at the Agent's Payment Office in Same Day Funds prior to 1:00 p.m. (local time) on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately applied to repay the outstanding Swing Line Loans. Effective on the day such Revolving Loans are made, the portion of the Swing Line Loans so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans and shall no longer be due hereunder. The Company shall pay to the applicable Swing Line Lender, promptly following such Swing Line Lender's demand, the amount of its outstanding Swing Line Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full such outstanding Swing Line Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not apply to the payment of interest on Swing Line Loans, which shall be governed by <u>Section 2.13(b)</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;(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Swing Line Lender (i) shall be obligated to make any Swing Line Loan if the conditions set forth in <u>Article V</u> have not been satisfied, (ii) shall be obligated to make any Swing Line Loan to any Subsidiary Borrower, and (iii) shall make any requested Swing Line Loan if, prior to 11:00 a.m. (local time) on the date of such requested Swing Line Loan, it has received a written notice from the Agent or any Revolving Lender directing it not to make further Swing Line Loans because any condition specified in <u>Article V</u> is not then satisfied.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If prior to the making of a Revolving Loan required to be made by <u>Section 2.06(b)</u> a Specified Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Company, each Revolving Lender will, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice described in <u>Section 2.06(b)</u>, purchase an undivided participating interest in all outstanding Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to its Revolving Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of all such Swing Line Loans. Each Revolving Lender will immediately transfer to the Agent for the benefit of the applicable Swing Line Lender, in Same Day Funds, the amount of its participation.

&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) Whenever, at any time after a Revolving Lender has purchased a participating interest in a Swing Line Loan, a Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account thereof, such Swing Line Lender will distribute to the Agent for delivery to each Revolving Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender's participating interest was outstanding and funded); <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, in the event that such payment received by such Swing Line Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Lender will return to the Agent for delivery to such Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by such Swing Line Lender to it.

&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) Each Revolving Lender's obligation to make the Revolving Loans referred to in <u>Section 2.06(b)</u> and to purchase participating interests pursuant to <u>Section 2.06(d)</u> shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender or the Company may have against any Swing Line Lender, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Company, any Subsidiary or any other Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any 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;(g) Each Swing Line Lender will deliver to the Agent: (i) upon the funding by such Swing Line Lender of any Swing Line Loan, a notice specifying the date of such funding, the principal amount of the Swing Line Loans made by such Swing Line Lender on such date and the interest rate applicable thereto; and (ii) no later than the third Business Day following the last day of each month, a schedule of the Swing Line Loans made by such Swing Line Lender, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, showing the date funded, principal amount outstanding and interest rate applicable to all Swing Line Loans made by such Swing Line Lender and outstanding as of the last day of each month.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.07 <u>[Reserved].</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.08 <u>Utilization of Commitments in Alternative Currencies; Valuation.</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 Agent or the applicable Issuer, as applicable, will determine the Dollar Equivalent amount of each Alternative Currency Loan and each Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars on each Computation Date, and such determination shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. The Agent or the applicable Issuer, as applicable, will provide the Company with the amount so determined upon request and, in any event, promptly following the end of each month.

&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) Upon receipt of any Notice of Borrowing of Alternative Currency Loans, the Agent will promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the approximate amount of such Lender's Revolving Percentage of such Borrowing, and the Agent will, upon the determination of the Dollar Equivalent amount of the Borrowing as specified in the Notice of Borrowing, promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the exact amount of such Revolving Lender's Revolving Percentage of such Borrowing. In the case of a proposed Borrowing comprised of Alternative Currency Loans, the Revolving Lenders shall be under no obligation to make Alternative Currency Loans in the requested Alternative Currency as part of such Borrowing if the Agent has received notice from any Revolving Lender by 3:00 p.m. (local time) three Business Days prior to the day of such Borrowing stating that (i) such Lender cannot provide Loans in such Alternative Currency without adverse tax or legal consequences, and/or (ii) such Lender does not provide loans in such Alternative Currency generally, in which event the Agent will give notice to the Company no later than 4:00 p.m. (local time) three Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing that a Borrowing in such Alternative Currency is not then available, no such Borrowing shall be made and any request for a Revolving Loan in such Alternative Currency shall be deemed withdrawn and shall otherwise be without 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;(c) (i) In the case of a proposed continuation of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans for an additional Interest Period pursuant to <u>Section 2.04</u>, the Revolving Lenders shall be under no obligation to continue such Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans if the Agent has received notice from any of the Revolving Lenders by 4:00 p.m. (local time) three Business Days prior to the day of such continuation that such Revolving Lender cannot continue to provide Loans in the applicable Alternative Currency, in which event the Agent will give notice to the Company not later than 9:00 a.m. (local time) on the second Business Day prior to the requested date of such continuation that the continuation of such Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans in such Alternative Currency is not then available, and notice thereof also will be given promptly by the Agent to the Revolving Lenders. If the Agent shall have so notified the Company that any such continuation of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans is not then available, any Notice of Conversion/Continuation with respect thereto shall be deemed withdrawn and such Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans shall be redenominated into Revolving Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans assumed by the Company in Dollars with effect from the last day of the Interest Period with respect to any such Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans. The Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Revolving Lenders of any such redenomination and in such notice by the Agent to each Revolving Lender the Agent will state the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of the redenominated Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans assumed by the Company as of the Computation Date with respect thereto and such Revolving Lender's Revolving Percentage thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) In the case of any Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan, the Revolving Lenders shall be under no obligation to continue to provide such Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans if the Agent has received notice from any of the Revolving Lenders by 4:00 p.m. (local time) three Business Days prior to any Interest Payment Date thereof that such Revolving Lender cannot continue to provide Loans in the applicable Alternative Currency, in which event the Agent will give notice to the Company not later than 9:00 a.m. (local time) on the second Business Day prior to such Interest Payment Date that such Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans in such Alternative Currency is not then available, and notice thereof also will be given promptly by the Agent to the Revolving Lenders. If the Agent shall have so notified the Company, on such Interest Payment Date, such Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans shall be redenominated into Revolving Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans assumed by the Company in Dollars with effect from such Interest Payment Date. The Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Revolving Lenders of any such redenomination and in such notice by the Agent to each Revolving Lender the Agent will state the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of the redenominated Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans assumed by the Company as of the Computation Date with respect thereto and such Revolving Lender's Revolving Percentage thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during the existence of an Event of Default, the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Alternative Currency Loans be prepaid or redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof (such prepayment or redenomination, in the case of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, to occur on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto and, in the case of Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans, to occur on the next Interest Payment Date with respect thereto). The Agent will promptly notify the applicable Borrower of any such prepayment or redenomination request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) (i) The Company may from time to time request that Revolving Loans be made and/or Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other than Dollars and those currencies specifically listed in the definition of "Alternative Currency"; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, such requested currency is a lawful currency that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars. In the case of any such request with respect to the making of Revolving Loans, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Agent and each Revolving Lender; and in the case of any such request with respect to the issuance of Letters of Credit, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Agent and each 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Any such request shall be made to the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., five (5) Business Days prior to the date of the desired Credit Extension (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Agent and, in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Issuers, in its or their sole discretion). In the case of any such request pertaining to Revolving Loans, the Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof; and in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Agent shall promptly notify each Issuer thereof. Each Revolving Lender (in the case of any such request pertaining to Revolving Loans) or each Issuer (in the case of a request pertaining to Letters of Credit) shall notify the Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., two (2) Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of Revolving Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in such requested currency.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Any failure by a Lender or an Issuer, as the case may be, to respond to such request within the time period specified in <u>Section 2.08(e)(ii)</u> shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Lender or such Issuer, as the case may be, to permit Revolving Loans to be made or Letters of Credit to be issued in such requested currency. If the Agent and all the Revolving Lenders consent to making Revolving Loans in such requested currency and the Agent and such Lenders reasonably determine that an appropriate interest rate is available to be used for such requested currency, the Agent shall so notify the Company and (A) the Agent, such Lenders and the Company may amend this Agreement to the extent necessary to add the applicable rate for such currency and any applicable adjustment for such rate, and (B) to the extent this Agreement has been amended to reflect the appropriate rate for such currency, such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency for purposes of any Borrowings of Revolving Loans. If the Agent and the Issuers consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Agent shall so notify the Company and (1) the Company and the Issuers may amend this Agreement to add such currency and (2) to the extent this Agreement has been amended to reflect such currency, such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances. If the Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this <u>Section 2.08(e)</u>, the Agent shall promptly so notify 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;(f) Each obligation of the Borrowers to make a payment denominated in the national currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the Effective Date shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption. If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, if any Borrowing in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest Period. Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect (i) the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro, and (ii) any change in currency of any other country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the change in currency; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, in each case, the Agent shall have generally implemented such changes of construction (with respect to the applicable currency) as administrative agent under other credit facilities with respect to which it acts as administrative agent and that contain a provision substantially similar to this sentence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.09 <u>Voluntary Termination or Reduction of Aggregate Revolving Commitment</u>.

The Company may, upon not less than five Business Days' prior notice to the Agent (which notice may be conditioned upon the consummation of replacement financing or another transaction), terminate the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, or permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitment by $10,000,000 or any higher integral multiple of $1,000,000; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, the Aggregate Revolving Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount less than the Total Revolving Usage. Once reduced in accordance with this <u>Section 2.09</u>, the Aggregate Revolving Commitment may not be increased, except as provided in <u>Section 2.20</u>. Any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment shall be applied to reduce the Revolving Commitment of each Revolving Lender according to its Revolving Percentage. If, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, the Swing Line Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.10 <u>Optional Prepayments</u>.

Subject to <u>Section 4.05</u>, any Borrower may, at any time or from time to time, upon not less than two Business Days' irrevocable notice to the Agent (which notice may be conditioned upon the consummation of replacement financing or another transaction), in respect of any Term SOFR Loans or any Alternative Currency Loans, and in respect of Base Rate Loans, by not later than 10:30 a.m. (local time) on the prepayment date, prepay Loans in whole or in part, in an aggregate minimum amount that is (a) not less than the Dollar Equivalent of $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount agreed to by the Agent), and (b) a higher integral multiple of 500,000 units of the Applicable Currency. Such notice of prepayment shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, which Loans are to be prepaid and the Class(es) and Type(s) of such Loans to be prepaid and, in the case of a prepayment of Add-On Term Loans, the installments to which such prepayment shall be applied. The Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of any such notice, and of such Lender's Percentage of such prepayment, subject to <u>Section 3.12</u>, if applicable. If such notice is given by any Borrower, such Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together, in the case of Term SOFR Loans and Alternative Currency Loans, with accrued interest to each such date on the amount prepaid and any amounts required pursuant to <u>Section 4.05</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.11 <u>Mandatory Prepayments of Loans</u>.

If the Agent notifies the Company at any time that the Total Revolving Usage at such time exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrowers shall prepay Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans and/or the applicable Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize (or provide other Backup Support for) the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce the Total Revolving Usage as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment then in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.12 <u>Repayment.</u>

The Borrowers shall repay all Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans on the Revolving Termination Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.13 <u>Interest</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Each Revolving Loan denominated in Dollars shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable Borrowing Date at a rate per annum equal to (i) Term SOFR <u>plus</u> the Applicable Term Rate Margin, or (ii) the Base Rate <u>plus</u> the Applicable Base Rate Margin, as the case may be (and subject to the Borrowers' right to convert (x) Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans, and (y) Term SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans). Each Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable Borrowing Date at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Alternative Currency Daily Rate <u>plus</u> the Applicable Daily Rate Margin. Each Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable Borrowing Date at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Alternative Currency Term Rate <u>plus</u> the Applicable Term Rate Margin. Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Swing Line Rate.

&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) Interest on each Revolving Loan, each Add-On Term Loan and each Swing Line Loan shall be paid in arrears on each applicable Interest Payment Date and on (i) the Revolving Termination Date, in the case of Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans and (ii) the applicable Add-On Term Maturity Date, in the case of an Add-On Term Loan. Interest on Term SOFR Loans and Alternative Currency Loans shall also be paid on the date of any prepayment thereof for the portion of the Loans so prepaid. During the existence of any Event of Default, interest on all Loans shall be paid on demand of the Agent at the request or with the consent of 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;(c) Notwithstanding <u>Section 2.13(a)</u>, (i) upon the request of the Required Lenders while any Event of Default exists, or (ii) after acceleration, the applicable Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the principal amount of all outstanding Loans, at a rate per annum determined by adding 2% per annum to the applicable interest rate otherwise then in effect for such Loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of any Borrower to any Lender hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required for any period for which interest is computed hereunder to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by such Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any Requirement of Law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest that may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, and in such event such Borrower shall pay such Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable Requirements of Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.14 <u>Fees</u>.

In addition to certain fees described in <u>Section 3.08</u>:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Agency and Other Fees</u>. The Company shall pay such fees as are required by the Fee Letter or as otherwise agreed to by the Company from time to time in connection herewith.

&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>Commitment Fees</u>. The Company shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee on the actual daily unused portion of such Revolving Lender's Revolving Commitment, computed on a quarterly basis in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter based upon the daily utilization for that quarter as calculated by the Agent, equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage. For purposes of calculating utilization under this <u>subsection (b)</u>, the Revolving Commitments shall be deemed used to the extent of the Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Revolving Loans then outstanding, <u>plus</u> the amount of all L/C Obligations then outstanding, subject to adjustment as provided in <u>Section 3.12</u>. For the avoidance of doubt, the outstanding amount of Swing Line Loans shall not be counted towards or considered usage of the Revolving Commitments for purposes of determining the commitment fee. Such commitment fee shall accrue at all times from the Effective Date to the Revolving Termination Date, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in <u>Article V</u> is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, with the final payment to be made on the Revolving Termination Date; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, (i) no commitment fee shall accrue on the Revolving Commitment of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, and (ii) any commitment fee accrued with respect to the Revolving Commitment of a Defaulting Lender during the period of time prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Company so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, <u>that</u>, in connection with any reduction or termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment under <u>Section 2.09</u>, the accrued commitment fee calculated for the period ending on such date shall also be paid on the date of such reduction or termination, with the following quarterly payment being calculated on the basis of the period from such reduction or termination date to such quarterly payment date. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage was in effect. The Agent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to calculate the commitment fee, it being understood and agreed that any discrepancy in fee calculations will be adjusted to the immediately following billing cycle due date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.15 <u>Computation of Fees and Interest</u>.

Interest on any Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to Term SOFR) shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days. Interest on any Alternative Currency Loan shall be made on the basis of a year as set forth on <u>Schedule 2.15</u> for such Alternative Currency and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or such fees are computed from the first day thereof to the last day thereof. Each determination of an interest rate by the Agent shall be conclusive and binding on the applicable Borrower and the applicable Lenders in the absence of demonstrable error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.16 <u>Payments by the Borrowers; Timing of Performance</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) All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made free and clear of and without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim. Except as otherwise specified herein, all payments by the Borrowers shall be made to the Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders at the Agent's Payment Office no later than 11:00 a.m. (local time) on the date specified herein. All such payments shall be made in Same Day Funds to the Agent and (i) in the case of principal and interest payments with respect to Alternative Currency Loans, in the Applicable Currency, and (ii) in the case of any other amount, in Dollars or such other currency as shall be specified herein. The Agent will promptly distribute to each applicable Lender its applicable share of such payment in like funds as received which, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be based upon such Lender's Percentage of the Loans in respect of which such payment has been made. Any payment received by the Agent later than 1:00 p.m. (local time) shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of "Interest Period" herein, whenever any payment is due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be. Except as expressly otherwise provided herein to the contrary, when performance of any covenant, duty or obligation (other than any payment obligation) is stated to be due or performance required on a day that is not a Business Day, the date of such performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day.

&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 the Agent receives notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the applicable Lenders or the applicable Issuers that such Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when required, the Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date in Same Day Funds and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each applicable Lender or each applicable Issuer, as the case may be, on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender or such Issuer, as applicable. With respect to any payment that the Agent makes for the account of any Lender or any Issuer hereunder as to which the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the "<u>Rescindable Amount</u>"): (i) the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment; (ii) the Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by such Borrower (whether or not then owed); or (iii) the Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lenders or each of the Issuers, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuer, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate (if denominated in Dollars) and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.17 <u>Payments by the Lenders to the Agent</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) Unless the Agent receives notice from a Lender on or prior to the Effective Date or, with respect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans after the Effective Date, at least one Business Day prior to the date of such Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to the Agent for the account of a Borrower the amount of that Lender's Percentage of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that each Lender has made such amount available to the Agent in Same Day Funds on the Borrowing Date and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have made its full amount available to the Agent in Same Day Funds and the Agent in such circumstances has made available to such Borrower such amount, that Lender shall on the Business Day following such Borrowing Date make such amount available to the Agent, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during such period. A notice of the Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this <u>subsection (a)</u> shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such payment to the Agent shall constitute such Lender's Loan on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to the Agent on the Business Day following the Borrowing Date, the Agent will notify the applicable Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by the Agent, such Borrower shall pay such amount to the Agent for the Agent's account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The failure of any applicable Lender to make any Loan on any Borrowing Date shall not relieve any other applicable Lender of any obligation hereunder to make a Loan on such Borrowing Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on any Borrowing Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.18 <u>Sharing of Payments, Etc.</u>

If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder), such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase in Dollars from the other applicable Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment pro rata with each of them; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other applicable Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender's required repayment <u>to</u> (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to <u>Section 11.09</u>) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this <u>Section 2.18</u> and will in each case notify the applicable Lenders following any such purchases or repayments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.19 <u>Subsidiary 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;(a) On or after the Effective Date, with the consent of the Agent, the Company may designate any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company (other than any Securitization Subsidiary, any captive insurance company Subsidiary or any Leasing Subsidiary) as a Subsidiary Borrower under the Revolving Credit Facility by delivery to the Agent of a Subsidiary Borrower Supplement executed by such Subsidiary and the Company, together with Notes in favor of each requesting Lender, and subject to the provisions of <u>clause (b)</u> below such Subsidiary shall for all purposes of this Agreement be a Subsidiary Borrower and party to this Agreement. As soon as practicable upon receipt of a Subsidiary Borrower Supplement, the Agent will deliver a copy thereof to each Revolving 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;(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing <u>clause (a)</u>, no Subsidiary Borrower that is a Foreign Subsidiary (i) may borrow Revolving Loans prior to the tenth Business Day after the Agent has distributed copies of the applicable Subsidiary Borrower Supplement pursuant to the last sentence of <u>clause (a)</u> above, or (ii) may borrow or maintain Revolving Loans if any Revolving Lender has notified the Agent (which notice has not been withdrawn) that such Revolving Lender has determined in good faith that, either (A) on the date on which such Subsidiary Borrower was first eligible to borrow pursuant to the foregoing <u>clause (i)</u>, or (B) as the result of any Change in Law after the date on which such Subsidiary Borrower was first eligible to borrow pursuant to the foregoing <u>clause (i)</u>, such Revolving Lender cannot make or maintain Loans to such Subsidiary Borrower without (1) adverse tax or legal consequences (unless such consequences only involve the payment of money, in which case such Subsidiary Borrower may borrow and maintain Revolving Loans if it agrees to pay such Lender such amounts as such Lender determines in good faith are necessary to compensate such Revolving Lender for such consequences), or (2) violating (or raising a substantial question as to whether such Lender would violate) any applicable law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) So long as the principal of and interest on all Loans made to any Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement shall have been paid in full and all other obligations of such Subsidiary Borrower in such capacity (other than any contingent indemnification or similar obligation not yet due and payable) shall have been fully performed, such Subsidiary Borrower may, upon not less than five Business Days' prior written notice to the Agent (which shall promptly notify the Revolving Lenders thereof), terminate its status as a "Subsidiary Borrower".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.20 <u>Increase in Revolving Credit Facility</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Request for Increase</u>. Provided there exists no Default or Event of Default, upon notice to the Agent (which shall promptly notify the Revolving Lenders), the Company may, from time to time, request an increase in the Revolving Credit Facility by an aggregate amount not to exceed the Incremental Amount by (i) increasing the respective Revolving Commitments of one or more existing Revolving Lenders that have agreed to such increase and/or (ii) adding one or more Eligible Assignees as Revolving Lenders hereunder pursuant to joinder agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and its counsel and providing for Revolving Commitments in the respective amounts agreed to by any such Persons; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, (A) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $50,000,000 (or, if less, the amount representing all remaining availability under this sentence) and whole multiples of $10,000,000 in excess thereof, and (B) any such additional Revolving Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Agent, each Issuer and each Swing Line Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

&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>Effective Date and Allocations</u>. If the Revolving Credit Facility is increased in accordance with this <u>Section 2.20</u>, the Agent and the Company shall determine the effective date (the "<u>Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date</u>"), and the Company, the Revolving Lenders increasing their Revolving Commitments (if any) and the new Revolving Lenders (if any) shall determine (with the approval of the Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)) the final allocation of such increase.

Each such request for issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be by facsimile, United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the applicable Issuer, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to the applicable Issuer and shall be confirmed immediately in an original writing (if required by the applicable Issuer), in the form of an L/C Application (or such other form as shall be acceptable to such Issuer), or shall be by online letter of credit software acceptable to such Issuer, and shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to such Issuer: (i) the proposed date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (ii) the face amount of such Letter of Credit; (iii) the expiry date of such Letter of Credit; (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (v) the documents to be presented by the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit in case of any drawing thereunder; (vi) the full text of any certificate to be presented by the beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (vii) the currency in which such Letter of Credit is to be denominated, which shall be Dollars or an Alternative Currency; (viii) whether such Letter of Credit is to be issued for the account of the Company and/or a Subsidiary (and, if for the account of a Subsidiary, the legal name of such Subsidiary); and (ix) such other matters as such Issuer may require. Additionally, the Company shall furnish the applicable Issuer and the Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the applicable Issuer, the Agent and the Company may agree upon.

Unless the applicable Issuer has received notice on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the date such Issuer is to issue a requested Letter of Credit from the Agent (i) directing such Issuer not to issue such Letter of Credit because such issuance is not then permitted under <u>Section 3.01(a)</u> as a result of the limitations set forth in <u>clauses (1)</u> and <u>(2)</u> thereof or <u>Section 3.01(b)(ii)</u> or (ii) that one or more conditions specified in <u>Article V</u> are not then satisfied; then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Company and/or a Subsidiary, as applicable, in accordance with such Issuer's usual and customary business practices.

&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) From time to time while a Letter of Credit is outstanding and prior to the Revolving Termination Date, the applicable Issuer will, upon the written request of the Company received by such Issuer (with a copy sent by such Issuer to the Agent) at least three days (or such shorter time as such Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed date of amendment, amend any Letter of Credit issued by it. Each such request for an amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be by facsimile, United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the applicable Issuer, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to the applicable Issuer, and shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to such Issuer: (i) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (ii) the proposed date of amendment of such Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (iv) such other matters as such Issuer may require. No Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if: (A) such amendment would extend the expiry date for, or increase the amount of, such Letter of Credit and such Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms of this Agreement; or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept such amendment (and no Issuer shall so amend any Letter of Credit if such Issuer has received a notice of the type described in the second sentence of <u>Section 3.02(b)</u>). The Agent will promptly notify the Revolving Lenders of the receipt by it of any L/C Application or L/C Amendment Application.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If the Company so requests in any applicable L/C Application or L/C Amendment Application, the applicable Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a standby Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an "<u>Auto-Extension Letter of Credit</u>"). Unless otherwise required by the terms of the applicable standby Letter of Credit, the Company shall not be required to make a specific request to the applicable Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable Issuer to permit the extension of such standby Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, no Issuer shall permit any such extension if (i) such Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such standby Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of <u>clause (b)</u> of <u>Section 3.01</u> or otherwise), or (ii) such Issuer has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the scheduled date of such extension from the Agent, any Lender or the Company that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in <u>Section 5.02</u> is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such 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;(e) This Agreement shall control in the event of any conflict with any L/C-Related Document (other than any Letter of Credit).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Each Issuer will also deliver to the Agent:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) concurrently or promptly following its delivery of a Letter of Credit, or amendment to or renewal of a Letter of Credit, to an advising bank or a beneficiary, a true and complete copy of each such Letter of Credit or amendment to or renewal of a Letter of Credit; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) no later than the third Business Day following the last day of each month, a schedule of the Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, showing the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the account party, the original face amount (if any) and the Dollar Equivalent amount of such face amount (if any such Letter of Credit is denominated in an Alternative Currency), the expiration date, and the reference number of any Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during such month, and showing the aggregate amount (if any) payable by the Company and its Subsidiaries to such Issuer during such month.

&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) Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Company shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Company hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Company, and that the Company's business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.03 <u>Risk Participations, Drawings and Reimbursements</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) Immediately upon the Issuance of a Letter of Credit by an Issuer, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such Issuer a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Revolving Percentage of such Revolving Lender, <u>times</u> (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively. For purposes of <u>Section 2.01</u>, each Issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to utilize the Revolving Commitment of each Revolving Lender by an amount equal to the amount of such participation.

&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) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuer shall notify the Company and the Agent thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Company shall reimburse the applicable Issuer in such Alternative Currency, unless (i) such Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (ii) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Company shall have notified such Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Company will reimburse such Issuer in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the applicable Issuer shall notify the Company of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Not later than 10:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the applicable Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the date of any payment by such Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency (each such date, an "<u>Honor Date</u>"), the Company shall reimburse such Issuer in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, if the Company does not receive notice of the amount in Dollars or the applicable Alternative Currency, as the case may be, to be paid to such Issuer in respect of such Letter of Credit prior to 9:00 a.m. on such Honor Date, the Company shall (or shall cause the applicable Subsidiary to) reimburse such Issuer not later than 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day immediately following the date on which the Company receives such notice (and such reimbursement shall include interest for the period from the Honor Date to the date of reimbursement at the Base Rate (or such other rate as the Company and such Issuer shall agree) on the amount so reimbursed). If the Company fails to so reimburse the applicable Issuer by such time, the Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the "<u>Unreimbursed Amount</u>"), and the amount of such Lender's Revolving Percentage thereof. In such event, the Company shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in <u>Section 2.03</u> for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment and the conditions set forth in <u>Section 5.02</u> (other than the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing). Any notice given by an Issuer or the Agent pursuant to this <u>Section 3.03(b)</u> may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing in accordance with <u>Section 11.02</u>; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

&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 Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to <u>Section 3.03(b)</u> make available to the Agent (and the Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the applicable Issuer an amount in Dollars and in Same Day Funds equal to its Revolving Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing, whereupon the participating Revolving Lenders shall (subject to <u>Section 3.03(d)</u>) each be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan consisting of a Base Rate Loan to the Company in that amount. If any Revolving Lender so notified fails to make available to the Agent for the account of the applicable Issuer the amount of such Revolving Lender's Revolving Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing by no later than 12:00 noon (local time) on the Honor Date, then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, interest shall accrue on such Revolving Lender's obligation to make such payment, from the Honor Date to the date such Revolving Lender makes such payment, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time during such period. The Agent will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Honor Date, but failure of the Agent to give any such notice on the Honor Date or in sufficient time to enable any Revolving Lender to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Revolving Lender from its obligations under this <u>Section 3.03</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;(d) With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into Revolving Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans to the Company in whole or in part, because of the Company's failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in <u>Section 5.02</u> or for any other reason, the Company shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such drawing, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate <u>plus</u> the Applicable Base Rate Margin <u>plus</u> 2.0% per annum, and each Revolving Lender's payment to such Issuer pursuant to <u>Section 3.03(c)</u> shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Revolving Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this <u>Section 3.03</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;(e) Each Revolving Lender's obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Loans or L/C Advances, as contemplated by this <u>Section 3.03</u>, as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute and unconditional and without recourse to the applicable Issuer and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against such Issuer, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, an Event of Default or a Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, each Revolving Lender's obligation to make Revolving Loans under this <u>Section 3.03</u> is subject to the conditions set forth in <u>Section 5.02</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.04 <u>Repayment of Participations</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) Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Agent for the account of the applicable Issuer of Same Day Funds in Dollars from the Company (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by such Issuer under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Revolving Lender has paid the Agent for the account of such Issuer for such Revolving Lender's participation in the Letter of Credit pursuant to <u>Section 3.03</u>, or (ii) in payment of interest thereon, the Agent will promptly pay to each Revolving Lender, in the same funds as those received by the Agent for the account of such Issuer, the amount of such Revolving Lender's Revolving Percentage of such funds, and such Issuer shall receive the amount of the Revolving Percentage of such funds of any Revolving Lender that did not so pay the Agent for the account of such 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;(b) If the Agent or an Issuer is required at any time to return to the Company, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any Insolvency Proceeding, any portion of the payments made by the Company to the Agent for the account of such Issuer pursuant to <u>Section 3.04(a)</u> in reimbursement of a payment made under the applicable Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each Revolving Lender shall, on demand of the Agent, forthwith return to the Agent or such Issuer the amount of its Revolving Percentage of any amounts so returned by the Agent or such Issuer <u>plus</u> interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amounts are returned by such Revolving Lender to the Agent or such Issuer, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.05 <u>Role of the Issuers</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 and the Company agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft and certificates expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such 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;(b) No Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Issuers shall be liable to any Lender for: (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Lenders (including the Required Revolving Lenders or all Revolving Lenders, as applicable); (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any L/C-Related 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;(c) The Company hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Company's pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. No Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in <u>clauses (a)(i)</u> through <u>(a)(ix)</u> of <u>Section 3.06</u>; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may have a claim against an Issuer, and an Issuer may be liable to the Company, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential, special, indirect, punitive or exemplary, damages suffered by the Company which the Company proves were caused by such Issuer's willful misconduct or gross negligence (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment), such Issuer's willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit or such other actions or omissions as may be agreed between the Company and such Issuer (it being understood that any such claim shall be solely against the applicable Issuer and shall not affect the Company's obligations hereunder to the other parties hereto). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing: (i) any Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary; and (ii) no Issuer shall be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. Any Issuer may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.06 <u>Obligations Absolute</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 obligations of the Company under this Agreement and any L/C-Related Document to reimburse the applicable Issuer for a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and to repay any L/C Borrowing and any drawing under a Letter of Credit converted into Revolving Loans, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each such other L/C-Related Document under all circumstances, including 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of the Company in respect of any Letter of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the L/C-Related 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Company may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), such Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by the L/C-Related Documents or any unrelated transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) waiver by such Issuer of any requirement that exists for such Issuer's protection and not the protection of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) any payment by such Issuer under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of any Letter of Credit; or any payment made by such Issuer under any Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guarantee, for all or any of the obligations of the Company in respect of any Letter of Credit; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.07 <u>Backup Support</u>.

The Company will, not later than five Business Days prior to the scheduled Revolving Termination Date (or, if earlier, the date of termination or reduction to zero of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment), cause each Letter of Credit to be a Supported Letter of Credit.

Such letter of credit fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter during which Letters of Credit are outstanding, commencing on the first such quarterly date to occur after the Effective Date, through the Revolving Termination Date (or such later date upon which the outstanding Letters of Credit shall expire), with the final payment to be made on the Revolving Termination Date (or such later expiration date). The Agent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to calculate any letters of credit fees, it being understood and agreed that any discrepancy in fee calculations will be adjusted to the immediately following billing cycle due date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.09 <u>Applicability of ISP and UCP</u>.

Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuer and the Company when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to any Existing Letter of Credit), (a) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (b) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit (it being understood that the Company may request that any particular standby Letter of Credit be governed by either ISP or the UCP, as selected by the Company). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Issuer shall be responsible to the Company for, and each Issuer's rights and remedies against the Company shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of such Issuer required under any law, order, or practice that is required to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including any Requirement of Law applicable to such Issuer or the beneficiary, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade – International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, except to the extent any Letter of Credit provides otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.10 <u>Utilization of Alternative Currencies</u>.

In the case of a proposed Issuance of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the applicable Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue such Letter of Credit if such Issuer cannot issue Letters of Credit denominated in the requested Alternative Currency, in which event such Issuer will give notice to the Company no later than 10:30 a.m. (local time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of such issuance that the Issuance in the requested Alternative Currency is not then available. If the applicable Issuer shall have so notified the Company that any such Issuance in a requested Alternative Currency is not then available, then such requested Letter of Credit shall not be issued unless the Company, by notice to such Issuer not later than 5:00 p.m. (local time) three Business Days prior to the requested date of such Issuance, requests that the Letter of Credit be denominated in Dollars and issued in an equivalent aggregate amount, in which case the Letter of Credit shall be so denominated and issued.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.11 <u>Cash Collateral</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) Upon the request of the Agent or an Issuer (i) if such Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the expiry date for any Letter of Credit, any L/C Obligation with respect to such Letter of Credit for any reason remains outstanding, the Company shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize (or, solely with respect to <u>clause (ii)</u> above, provide other Backup Support) in the amount of the then outstanding amount of all L/C Obligations in respect of such Letter of Credit. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, promptly upon the request of the Agent, an Issuer, or a Swing Line Lender, the Company shall deliver to the Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to <u>Section 3.12(a)(iv)</u> and any Cash Collateral provided by the 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;(b) All Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts at the Agent. The Company, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent, the applicable Issuer, and the applicable Swing Line Lender, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest (subject to any Lien permitted pursuant to <u>Section 8.01(c)</u> or <u>Section 8.01(p)</u>) in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to <u>Section 3.11(c)</u>. If at any time the Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim (subject to any Lien permitted pursuant to <u>Section 8.01(c)</u> or <u>Section 8.01(p)</u>) of any Person other than the Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Company or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Agent (which demand shall include a reasonably detailed accounting of the amount so demanded), pay or provide to the Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

&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 anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this <u>Article III</u> or <u>Section 2.06</u>, <u>Section 2.11</u> or <u>Section 9.02</u> in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

&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) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with <u>Section 11.07(a)(vii)</u>)), or (ii) the Agent's good faith determination (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) that the amount of Cash Collateral held exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Fronting Exposure or other obligations secured thereby; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, (A) Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Borrower shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, and (B) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable Issuer or the applicable Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.12 <u>Defaulting Lenders.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Such 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 <u>Section 11.01</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;(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to <u>Article IX</u> or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to <u>Section 11.09</u>), shall be applied at such time or times as may be reasonably determined by the Agent as follows (and, in any case, when due): <u>first</u>, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; <u>second</u>, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuer or any Swing Line Lender hereunder; <u>third</u>, if so determined by the Agent or requested by any Issuer or any Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or any Letter of Credit; <u>fourth</u>, as the Company may request (so long as no Specified 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 Agent; <u>fifth</u>, if so determined by the Agent and the Company, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; <u>sixth</u>, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, any Issuer or any Swing Line Lender as a result of any final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any Issuer or any Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; <u>seventh</u>, so long as no Specified Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Company as a result of any final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Company against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and <u>eighth</u>, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, (A) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (B) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in <u>Section 5.02</u> were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, such Defaulting Lender. 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 <u>Section 3.12(a)(ii)</u> 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;&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) Such Defaulting Lender (A) shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to <u>Section 2.14(b)</u> for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Company shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender), and (B) shall be limited in its right to receive letter of credit fees as provided in <u>Section 3.08</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant to this <u>Article III</u> and <u>Section 2.05</u>, the "Revolving Percentage" of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, (A) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists, and (B) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving Commitment of such non-Defaulting Lender <u>minus</u> (2) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans of such Lender. Subject to <u>Section 11.27</u>, 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Agent agrees to promptly notify the Company upon any Lender's becoming a Defaulting Lender (but the Agent shall have no liability for any failure to give, or any delay in giving, any such notice). If the Company, the Agent, the Issuers and the Swing Line Lenders agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will promptly 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), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Percentages (without giving effect to <u>Section 3.12(a)(iv)</u> as to such Lender), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Company while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, <u>that</u>, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender's having been a Defaulting Lender.

If any applicable Requirements of Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Agent) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Agent or a Borrower, then the Agent or such Borrower shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to <u>subsection (e)</u> below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) If any Borrower or the Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to <u>subsection (e)</u> below, (B) the Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this <u>Section 4.01</u>) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) If any Borrower or the Agent shall be required by any applicable Requirements of Law other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) such Borrower or the Agent, as required by such Requirements of Law, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to <u>subsection (e)</u> below, (B) such Borrower or the Agent, to the extent required by such Requirements of Law, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Requirements of Law, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this <u>Section 4.01</u>) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers</u>. Without limiting the provisions of <u>subsection (a)</u> above, the Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent or a Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and each Issuer hereby authorize the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or such Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Agent under this <u>clause (ii)</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;(d) <u>Evidence of Payments</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation</u>.

In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent as will enable the Company or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in <u>Sections 4.01(e)(ii)(A)</u>, <u>(ii)(B)</u> and <u>(ii)(D)</u>) shall not be required if in the Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(I) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "interest" article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "business profits" or "other income" article of such tax treaty;

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

Solely for purposes of this <u>clause (D)</u>, "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Effective Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 pursuant to this <u>Section 4.01</u> expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) In the case of a Lender that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Lender shall be deemed to comply with the requirements of <u>Sections 4.01(e)(ii)(A)</u>, <u>4.01(e)(ii)(B)</u> and <u>4.01(e)(ii)(C)</u> if such requirements are met by the owner as if it were a Lender.

If any Recipient 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 by any Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this <u>Section 4.01</u>, it shall pay to the applicable Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by a Borrower under this <u>Section 4.01</u> with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, the applicable Borrower, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (<u>plus</u> any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this <u>subsection (f)</u>, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to a Borrower pursuant to this <u>subsection (f)</u> the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This <u>subsection (f)</u> shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower 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;(g) <u>Defined Terms</u>. For purposes of this <u>Section 4.01</u>, the term (i) "Lender" includes any Issuer, and (ii) "Requirement of Law", "Requirements of Law", "applicable law" and "law" includes FATCA.

&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) <u>Survival</u>. Each party's obligations under this <u>Section 4.01</u> shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an Issuer, the termination of the Commitments, the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.02 <u>Illegality</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) If any Lender determines that the introduction after the Effective Date of any Requirement of Law, or any Change in Law, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest rate is determined by reference to SOFR, Term SOFR, Daily SOFR, the Daily SOFR Rate or any applicable Relevant Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, Term SOFR, Daily SOFR, the Daily SOFR Rate or any applicable Relevant Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Company through the Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make, maintain or fund such Loans, or to determine or charge such interest rates, or to continue the applicable Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans shall, in any such case, be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, at which time such Lender shall promptly notify the Agent and the Company, and such Lender's obligation to make such Loans shall be reinstated.

&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 Lender makes any of the determinations described in <u>Section 4.02(a)</u>, the applicable Borrower shall, upon the receipt by the Company of notice of such fact and demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), (i) prepay in full such Term SOFR Loans or applicable Alternative Currency Loans of such Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon and amounts required under <u>Section 4.05</u>, (A) with respect to any Term SOFR Loans or any Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans, and (B) with respect to any Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans, either on the next Interest Payment Date for such Loans, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans, (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon Term SOFR, the 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 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 Term SOFR, at which time such Lender shall promptly notify the Agent and the Company, and the Agent shall return to computing interest rates based upon Term SOFR for such Lender, and (iii) immediately prepay in full any Swing Line Loans that are Daily SOFR Loans, together with interest accrued thereon and amounts required under <u>Section 4.05</u>. If a Borrower is required to so prepay any Loan pursuant to this <u>Section 4.02(b)</u>, then concurrently with such prepayment, the Company (regardless of whether the Company is the initial Borrower) shall borrow from the affected Lender, in the amount of such repayment, a Base Rate Loan (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate).

&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) If the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain any Loans has been terminated or suspended pursuant to the provisions of this <u>Section 4.02</u>, the Company may elect, by giving notice to such Lender through the Agent, that all Loans which would otherwise be made or maintained by such Lender as Term SOFR Loans, Daily SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Loans, as applicable, instead be made or maintained as Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate) made to or maintained for, as applicable, the Company (regardless of whether the Company was the initial Borrower therefor).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.03 <u>Inability to Determine Rates</u>.

If in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan (or any conversion or continuation thereof), a Daily SOFR Loan or an Alternative Currency Loan (or any continuation thereof), (a) the Agent (and, in the case of a Daily SOFR Loan, each Swing Line Lender) reasonably determines in good faith that for any reason (i)(A) with respect to such Term SOFR Loan, no Term SOFR Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with <u>Section 4.08(a)</u>, and the circumstances under <u>clause (i)</u> of <u>Section 4.08(a)</u> or the Term SOFR Scheduled Unavailability Date, as applicable, has occurred, (B) with respect to such Daily SOFR Loan, no Daily SOFR Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with <u>Section 4.08(c)</u>, and the circumstances under <u>clause (i)</u> of <u>Section 4.08(c)</u> or the Daily SOFR Scheduled Unavailability Date, as applicable, has occurred, or (C) with respect to such Alternative Currency Loan, no Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with <u>Section 4.08(b)</u>, and the circumstances under <u>clause (i)</u> of <u>Section 4.08(b)</u> or the Scheduled Unavailability Date, as applicable, has occurred, or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining Term SOFR, the Daily SOFR Rate or the applicable Relevant Rate for any requested Interest Period (if applicable) with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan, a proposed Daily SOFR Loan or a proposed Alternative Currency Loan, as applicable, or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan (in each case with respect to this <u>clause (a)</u>, "<u>Impacted Loans</u>"), or (b) the Agent or the Required Lenders (or, solely with respect to Daily SOFR Loans, the Swing Line Lenders) reasonably determine in good faith that for any reason Term SOFR, the Daily SOFR Rate or the applicable Relevant Rate for any requested Interest Period (if applicable) with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan, a proposed Daily SOFR Loan or a proposed Alternative Currency Loan, as applicable, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders (or, solely with respect to Daily SOFR Loans, the Swing Line Lenders) of funding such Loan, the Agent will promptly notify the Company and all Lenders. Thereafter, (A) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans, Daily SOFR Loans or the applicable Alternative Currency Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans, Daily SOFR Loans, Alternative Currency Loans, Interest Periods or determination date(s), as applicable), and (B) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Term SOFR component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Required Lenders (or the Swing Line Lenders, as applicable) described in <u>clause (b)</u> above, until the Agent upon instruction of the Required Lenders (or the Swing Line Lenders, as applicable)) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (1) the Company may revoke any Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Conversion/Continuation or request for Daily SOFR Loans then submitted by it or any other Borrower or, failing that, the applicable Lenders (or the applicable Swing Line Lender, as applicable) shall make, convert or continue the Loans, as proposed by the Company, in the amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by the Company or such other Borrower, but such Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base Rate Loans (or, in the case of Swing Line Loans, a Swing Line Loan bearing interest by reference to a rate set forth in the definition of "Swing Line Rate" other than <u>clause (c)</u> of such definition) in Dollars (it being understood and agreed that in the case of any such request for Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, such request shall be deemed a request for Loans denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount requested), and such Loans shall be made to or assumed by the Company notwithstanding the fact that the Loans may initially have been requested by, or made to, a Subsidiary Borrower, (2) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans shall be converted to Base Rate Loans at the end of their respective applicable Interest Periods, (3) any outstanding affected Alternative Currency Loans, at the Company's election, shall either (x) be converted into Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such outstanding Alternative Currency Loans (such conversion to occur immediately, in the case of Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans, or at the end of the applicable Interest Periods, in the case of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans), and such Loans shall be made to or assumed by the Company notwithstanding the fact that the Loans may initially have been requested by, or made to, a Subsidiary Borrower, or (y) be prepaid in full (such prepayment to occur immediately, in the case of Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans, or at the end of the applicable Interest Periods, in the case of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans), and (4) any outstanding affected Daily SOFR Loans shall be prepaid in full immediately; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, if no election is made by the Company pursuant to the foregoing <u>clause (3)</u> (such election to be made within three (3) Business Days after receipt by the Company of the relevant notice, in the case of Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans, or by the end of the then-current Interest Periods, in the case of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans), the Company shall be deemed to have elected the option specified in <u>clause (3)(x)</u> above. The Agent shall, promptly following its determination that the reason for any suspension under this <u>Section 4.03</u> no longer exists, deliver a notice of revocation of such suspension to the Company and each applicable Lender.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Agent (and, in the case of a Daily SOFR Loan, the Swing Line Lenders) has made the determination described in <u>clause (a)</u> of the preceding paragraph in this <u>Section 4.03</u>, the Agent, in consultation with the Company and the affected Lenders (or, in the case of a Daily SOFR Loan, the Agent, in consultation with the Company and the Swing Line Lenders), may establish an alternative interest rate for the applicable Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative interest rate shall apply with respect to such Impacted Loans until (a) the Agent (and, in the case of Daily SOFR Loans, the Swing Line Lenders) revokes the notice delivered with respect to the applicable Impacted Loans under the first sentence of the preceding paragraph of this <u>Section 4.03</u>, (b) the Agent (and, in the case of Daily SOFR Loans, the Swing Line Lenders) notifies the Company that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or, in the case of Daily SOFR Loans, the Swing Line Lenders) of funding the applicable Impacted Loans, or (c) any Lender determines that any Requirement of Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative interest rate or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the ability of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and, in each case, such Lender provides the Agent and the Company written notice thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.04 <u>Increased Costs</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Increased Costs Generally</u>. If any Change in Law shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement expressly reflected in the applicable interest rate) or any 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in <u>clauses (b)</u> through <u>(d)</u> of the definition of "Excluded Taxes", and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) impose on any Lender or any Issuer any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement, Term SOFR Loans, Daily SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to SOFR, Term SOFR, Daily SOFR, the Daily SOFR Rate or the applicable Relevant Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such Issuer, the Company will pay to such Lender or such Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

&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>Capital Requirements</u>. If any Lender or any Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Issuer or such Lender's or such Issuer's holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such Issuer's capital or on the capital of such Lender's or such Issuer's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuer or such Lender's or such Issuer's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's or such Issuer's policies and the policies of such Lender's or such Issuer's holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Company will pay to such Lender or such Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuer or such Lender's or such Issuer's holding company for any such reduction suffered.

&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>Reimbursement</u>. The Company shall pay the Lender or the applicable Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due in respect of <u>subsection (a)</u> and <u>(b)</u> of this <u>Section 4.04</u> within 30 days after the Company's receipt of the certificate required by <u>Section 4.06</u> in respect thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Demands Under Other Facilities</u>. A Lender shall not be entitled to any compensation pursuant to this <u>Section 4.04</u> to the extent such Lender is not imposing such charges or requesting such compensation from borrowers (similarly situated to the Borrowers hereunder) generally under comparable syndicated credit facilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.05 <u>Funding Losses</u>.

Each Borrower shall reimburse each Lender upon demand and hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the failure of such Borrower to make on a timely basis any payment of principal of any Loan (other than a Base Rate Loan);

&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 failure of such Borrower to borrow, continue or convert a Loan after such Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation (or, in the case of a Daily SOFR Loan, a request to borrow such Daily SOFR Loan);

&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 failure of such Borrower to make any prepayment in accordance with any notice delivered under <u>Section 2.10</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;(d) any continuation, conversion, prepayment (including pursuant to <u>Section 2.11</u>) or other payment (including after acceleration thereof or pursuant to <u>Section 2.08(c)</u>) of any Loan (other than a Base Rate Loan) on a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period;

&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) any assignment of a Loan (other than a Base Rate Loan) on a day other than the last day of the relevant Interest Period as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to <u>Section 4.07</u>; 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;(f) the automatic conversion under <u>Section 2.04</u> of any Term SOFR Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period;

including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loans or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders under this <u>Section 4.05</u> and under <u>Section 4.04(a)</u>, each applicable Loan made by a Lender (and each related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be conclusively deemed to have been funded at Term SOFR or the applicable Relevant Rate used in determining the rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the interbank market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Loan was in fact so funded.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.06 <u>Certificates of Lenders</u>.

Any Lender or any Issuer claiming reimbursement or compensation under this <u>Article IV</u> shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Agent) contemporaneously with the demand for payment a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for, and a calculation of, the amount payable to such Lender or such Issuer hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the applicable Borrower in the absence of demonstrable error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.07 <u>Mitigation Obligations; Substitution of Lenders.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Designation of a Different Lending Office</u>. Before any Lender or any Issuer requests compensation under <u>Section 4.04</u>, or requires the Company to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender, any Issuer or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or any Issuer pursuant to <u>Section 4.01</u>, or gives a notice pursuant to <u>Section 4.02</u>, such Lender or such Issuer shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or such Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to <u>Section 4.01</u> or <u>4.04</u>, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to <u>Section 4.02</u>, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or such Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or such Issuer, as the case may be. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or any Issuer in connection with any such designation or 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;(b) <u>Replacement of Lenders</u>. If any Lender (including in its capacity as an Issuer, or any Affiliate of a Lender acting pursuant to <u>Section 2.02(c)</u>) requests compensation under <u>Section 4.04</u>, or if the Company is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender (or such an Affiliate) or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender (or such an Affiliate) pursuant to <u>Section 4.01</u>, or any Lender (or such an Affiliate) invokes its rights under <u>Section 4.02</u>, then, in each case, the Company may replace or remove such Lender in accordance with <u>Section 11.24</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.08 <u>Successor Interest Rate Benchmarks</u>.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining one month, three month, and six month interest periods of Term SOFR, including because the Term SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

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

then, on a date and time determined by the Agent (any such date, a "<u>Term SOFR Replacement Date</u>"), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant Interest Payment Date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to <u>clause (ii)</u> above, no later than the Term SOFR Scheduled Unavailability Date, Term SOFR will be replaced hereunder and under any other Loan Document with Daily Simple SOFR for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by the Agent, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (any such successor rate established pursuant to this <u>Section 4.08(a)</u>, a "<u>Term SOFR Successor Rate</u>"). If the Term SOFR Successor Rate is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (A) if the Agent determines that Daily Simple SOFR is not available on or prior to the Term SOFR Replacement Date, or (B) if the events or circumstances of the type described in <u>clause (i)</u> above or <u>clause (ii)</u> above have occurred with respect to the Term SOFR Successor Rate then in effect, then, in each case, the Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing Term SOFR or any then-current Term SOFR Successor Rate in accordance with this <u>Section 4.08(a)</u> at the end of any Interest Period, relevant Interest Payment Date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with an alternative benchmark rate selected by the Agent and the Company giving due consideration to any evolving or then-existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such alternative benchmark and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then-existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such benchmark. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments shall constitute a "Term SOFR Successor Rate". Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5<sup>th</sup>) Business Day after the Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Company unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. The Agent shall promptly remit a copy of any such notice to the Company.

The Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Company and each Lender of the implementation of any Term SOFR Successor Rate. Any Term SOFR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Agent, such Term SOFR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Agent. Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Term SOFR Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero, such Term SOFR Successor Rate will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

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

For purposes of this <u>Section 4.08(a)</u>, those Lenders that either have not made, or do not have an obligation under this Agreement to make, Term SOFR Loans (or Loans accruing interest by reference to a Term SOFR Successor Rate, as applicable) shall be excluded from any determination of 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;(b) <u>Relevant Rates (and any Successor Rates)</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Company or Required Lenders notify the Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Company) that the Company or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Relevant Rate for an Alternative Currency because none of the tenors of such Relevant Rate (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) is available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Applicable Authority has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which all tenors of the Relevant Rate for an Alternative Currency shall or will no longer be representative or made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of syndicated loans denominated in such Alternative Currency, or shall or will otherwise cease permanently or indefinitely; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, in each case, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Agent that will continue to provide such representative tenor(s) of the Relevant Rate for such Alternative Currency (the latest date on which all tenors of the Relevant Rate for such Alternative Currency are no longer representative or available permanently or indefinitely, the "<u>Scheduled Unavailability Date</u>" for such Relevant Rate);

or if the events or circumstances of the type described in <u>clause (i)</u> above or <u>clause (ii)</u> above have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then the Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing the Relevant Rate for an Alternative Currency or any then-current Successor Rate for an Alternative Currency in accordance with this <u>Section 4.08(b)</u> with an alternative benchmark rate selected by the Agent and the Company giving due consideration to any evolving or then-existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States and denominated in such Alternative Currency for such alternative benchmarks, and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then-existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States and denominated in such Alternative Currency for such benchmarks (and any such proposed rate, including for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment thereto, a "<u>Successor Rate</u>"), and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5<sup>th</sup>) Business Day after the Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Company unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. The Agent shall promptly remit a copy of any such notice to the Company.

The Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Company and each Lender of the implementation of any Successor Rate. Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Agent. Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

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

For purposes of this <u>Section 4.08(b)</u>, those Lenders that either have not made, or do not have an obligation under this Agreement to make, Loans denominated in the applicable Alternative Currency shall be excluded from any determination of Required Lenders for purposes of the establishment of a Successor Rate with respect to an Alternative Currency.

&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>Daily SOFR (and any Daily SOFR Successor Rate) for Swing Line Loans</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Company or the Swing Line Lenders notify the Agent (with, in the case of the Swing Line Lenders, a copy to the Company) that the Company or the Swing Line Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Daily SOFR Rate because the Daily SOFR Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 SOFR Administrator or any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Agent or the SOFR Administrator with respect to its publication of the Daily SOFR Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Daily SOFR Rate shall or will no longer be representative or made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of syndicated loans denominated in Dollars, or shall or will otherwise cease permanently or indefinitely; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, in each case, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Agent that will continue to provide the Daily SOFR Rate on a representative basis (the "<u>Daily SOFR Scheduled Unavailability Date</u>");

or if the events or circumstances of the type described in <u>clause (i)</u> above or <u>clause (ii)</u> above have occurred with respect to the Daily SOFR Successor Rate then in effect, then the Agent, the Company and the Swing Line Lenders may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing the Daily SOFR Rate or any then-current Daily SOFR Successor Rate in accordance with this <u>Section 4.08(c)</u> with an alternative benchmark rate selected by the Agent, the Company and the Swing Line Lenders giving due consideration to any evolving or then-existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States and denominated in Dollars for such alternative benchmarks, and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States and denominated in Dollars for such benchmarks (and any such proposed rate, including for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment thereto, a "<u>Daily SOFR Successor Rate</u>"), and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5<sup>th</sup>) Business Day after the Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Company unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Revolving Lenders have delivered to the Agent written notice that such Required Revolving Lenders object to such amendment. The Agent shall promptly remit a copy of any such notice to the Company.

The Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Company and each Lender of the implementation of any Daily SOFR Successor Rate. Any Daily SOFR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Agent, such Daily SOFR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Agent. Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Daily SOFR Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero, the Daily SOFR Successor Rate will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.09 <u>Survival</u>.

The agreements and obligations of the Borrowers in this <u>Article IV</u> shall survive the payment of all other Obligations. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this <u>Section 4.09</u> shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or such Issuer's right to demand such compensation; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, with respect to any Lender's or any Issuer's claim for compensation under <u>Section 4.02</u> or <u>4.04</u>, the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate any Lender or any Issuer for any amount incurred more than 120 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuer demands compensation in accordance herewith (except that, if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

The execution, delivery and performance by each Borrower of each Loan Document to which such Person is party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action, and do not and will not: (a) contravene the terms of any of such Person's Organization Documents; (b) conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of any Lien under (other than any Lien created pursuant to the Loan Documents), any document evidencing any material Contractual Obligation to which such Person is a party or any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority to which such Person or its property is subject; or (c) violate any Requirement of Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) declare an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum aggregate amount that is or at any time thereafter may become available for drawing under any outstanding Letters of Credit (whether or not any beneficiary shall have presented, or shall be entitled at such time to present, the drafts or other documents required to draw under such Letters of Credit) to be immediately due and payable, and declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each 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;(c) require that the Company Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations and the Swing Line Loans (in an amount equal to the then outstanding amount thereof); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or applicable law;

<u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, upon the occurrence of any event specified in <u>subsection (f)</u> or <u>(g)</u> of <u>Section 9.01</u> with respect to the Company (or, in the case of <u>clause (i)</u> of <u>subsection (g)</u> upon the expiration of the 60-day period mentioned therein), any obligation of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of each Issuer to Issue Letters of Credit shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, and the obligation of the Company to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations and the Swing Line Loans as aforesaid shall automatically become effective, in each case without further act of the Agent, any Issuer or any Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.03 <u>Rights Not Exclusive</u>.

The rights provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights, powers, privileges or remedies provided by law or in equity, or under any other instrument, document or agreement now existing or hereafter arising.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.04 <u>Application of Funds</u>.

After the exercise of remedies provided for in <u>Section 9.02</u> (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable as set forth in the proviso to <u>Section 9.02</u>) or if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Agent to pay fully all Obligations then due hereunder, any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Agent in the following order:

FIRST, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Agent and amounts payable under <u>Article IV</u>) payable to the Agent in its capacity as such;

SECOND, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest and letter of credit fees) payable to the Lenders and the Issuers (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and the Issuers arising under the Loan Documents and amounts payable under <u>Article IV</u>), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause SECOND payable to them;

THIRD, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid letter of credit fees and interest on the Loans, L/C Borrowings and other Obligations arising under the Loan Documents, ratably among the Lenders and the Issuers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause THIRD payable to them;

FOURTH, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, L/C Borrowings, Obligations then owing under Rate Swap Documents and Obligations then owing under Guaranteed Cash Management Agreements, and to the Agent for the account of the Issuers, to Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit to the extent not otherwise Cash Collateralized by the Company pursuant to <u>Section 3.11</u>, in each case ratably among the Agent, the Lenders, the Affiliates of the Lenders, the Issuers, and any other holders of Obligations then owing under Rate Swap Documents and Guaranteed Cash Management Agreements in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause FOURTH held by them; and

FIFTH, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been satisfied, to the Company or as otherwise required by law.

Subject to <u>Section 3.11</u>, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause FOURTH above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above. The Borrowers shall remain liable for any deficiency in the failure to pay the Obligations in full.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Obligations arising under Rate Swap Documents and Obligations arising under Guaranteed Cash Management Agreements shall be excluded from the application described above if the Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Agent may request, from the applicable Lender (or Affiliate thereof) party to such Rate Swap Document or Guaranteed Cash Management Agreement, as applicable. By the provision of the written notice referenced in the previous sentence, each Affiliate of a Lender party to a Rate Swap Document or Guaranteed Cash Management Agreement that is not a party to this Agreement shall be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Agent pursuant to the terms of <u>Article X</u> for itself and its Affiliates as if a "Lender" party hereto.

**Article X**

**THE AGENT**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.01 <u>Appointment and Authority</u>.

Each of the Lenders and the Issuers hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers, and neither the Company nor any other Borrower shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term "agent" herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Requirement of Law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.02 <u>Rights as a Lender</u>.

The Person serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or provide notice to or consent of the Lenders with respect thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.03 <u>Exculpatory Provisions</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 Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent and its Related 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

&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) Neither the Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by the Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in <u>Sections 9.02</u> and <u>11.01</u>), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given in writing to the Agent by the Company, a Lender or an 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;(c) Neither the Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in <u>Article V</u> or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Neither the Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions of this Agreement relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall not ‎(i) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified ‎Institution, or (ii) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any ‎Disqualified Institution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.04 <u>Reliance by Agent</u>.

The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, communication, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and reasonably believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuer, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuer unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.05 <u>Delegation of Duties</u>.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.06 <u>Resignation of Agent</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 Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuers and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and which consent shall not be required during the existence of an Event of Default), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and consented to by the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders with the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)) (the "<u>Resignation Effective Date</u>"), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuers, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, if the Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. With effect from the Resignation Effective Date, (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (ii) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this <u>Section 10.06</u>. Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent (other than as provided in <u>Section 4.01(h)</u> and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring (or retired) Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date), and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this <u>Section 10.06</u>). The fees payable by the Company to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After the retiring Agent's resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this <u>Article X</u> and <u>Section 11.04</u> shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them (A) while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent, and (B) after such resignation for as long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Agent.

If Bank of America resigns as an Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to <u>Section 3.03(b)</u>. If Bank of America resigns as a Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of a Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to <u>Section 2.06</u>. Upon the appointment by the Company of a successor Issuer or a successor Swing Line Lender hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender), (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuer or the retiring Swing Line Lender, as applicable, (ii) the retiring Issuer or the retiring Swing Line Lender, as applicable, shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.

Each Lender and each Issuer expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent nor any Joint Lead Arranger has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Agent or any Joint Lead Arranger hereafter taken, including any consent to, and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Borrower of any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent or such Joint Lead Arranger to any Lender or any Issuer as to any matter, including whether the Agent or such Joint Lead Arranger has disclosed material information in their (or their respective Related Parties') possession.

Each Lender and each Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers. Each Lender and each Issuer represents and warrants that (a) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility, and (b) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course and is entering into this Agreement as a Lender or an Issuer for the purpose of making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender or such Issuer, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument, and each Lender and each Issuer agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing. Each Lender and each Issuer represents and warrants that it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender or such Issuer, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on the Company) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuers and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuers and the Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuers and the Agent under <u>Sections 2.14</u>, <u>3.08</u> and <u>11.04</u>) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each Issuer to make such payments to the Agent and, if the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuers, to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent under <u>Sections 2.14</u> and <u>11.04</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;(c) To the extent that the Company for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under <u>subsection (a)</u> or <u>(b)</u> above to be paid by it to any Agent-Related Person, any Issuer, any Swing Line Lender or any Related Party of such Agent-Related Person, such Issuer, or such Swing Line Lender, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent-Related Person, such Issuer, such Swing Line Lender or such Related Party such Lender's Total Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, with respect to such unpaid amounts owed to any Issuer or any Swing Line Lender solely in its capacity as such, only the Revolving Lenders shall be required to pay such unpaid amounts, such payment to be made severally among them based on such Revolving Lenders' Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought); <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, <u>that</u>, the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent-Related Person, such Issuer, or such Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party acting for such Agent-Related Person, such Issuer or such Swing Line Lender in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this <u>subsection (c)</u> (i) are subject to the provisions of <u>Section 2.18</u>, and (ii) shall not in any way limit the obligations of the Company under this <u>Section 11.04</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;(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrowers shall not assert, and hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages, in the absence of gross negligence and willful misconduct of such Indemnitees as determined in a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, arising from the use by third parties of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The obligations in this <u>Section 11.04</u> shall survive payment of all other Obligations. At the election of any Indemnitee, the Company shall defend such Indemnitee using legal counsel satisfactory to such Indemnitee in such Person's sole discretion, at the sole cost and expense of the Company. All amounts owing under this <u>Section 11.04</u> shall be paid within 30 days after demand (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement from the applicable Indemnitee setting forth such amounts in reasonable detail).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.05 <u>Marshalling; Payments Set Aside</u>.

Neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshall any assets in favor of any Borrower or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Borrower makes a payment to the Agent, any Lender or any Issuer, or the Agent, any Lender or any Issuer exercises their right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Agent, such Lender or such Issuer in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and each Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Agent upon demand its applicable Percentage of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Agent. The obligations of the Lenders and the Issuers under <u>clause (b)</u> of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.06 <u>Successors and Assigns</u>.

The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agent and each Lender (other than as permitted pursuant to this Agreement).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.07 <u>Assignments, Participations, Etc.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Assignments by Lenders</u>. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an "<u>Assignee</u>") all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loans (including for purposes of this <u>Section 11.07(a)</u>, participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) <u>Minimum Amounts</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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) In the case of (1) an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Loans of a particular Class at the time owing to it and the related Commitment (if any), or (2) an assignment to an Affiliate of a Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) In any case not described in <u>clause (A)</u> above, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if "Trade Date" is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than (1) $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment of Revolving Loans and/or Revolving Commitments, or (2) $2,500,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of Add-On Term Loans and/or Add-On Term Commitments, unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) <u>Proportionate Amounts</u>. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this <u>clause (ii)</u> shall not (A) apply to any Swing Line Lender's rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans or (B) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among the separate credit facilities hereunder on a non-pro rata basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) <u>Required Consents</u>. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by <u>clause (i)(B)</u> above and, in addition:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (it being understood that, without limiting any other factors that may be reasonable, it shall be reasonable for the Company to consider the proposed assignee's right to require reimbursement for increased costs)) shall be required unless (1) a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (2) such assignment is to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender or an Approved Fund (except that, in the case of this <u>clause (2)</u>, the consent of the Company shall be required if, after giving effect to and as a result of such assignment, the Assignee, collectively with its Affiliates and affiliated Approved Funds, would hold more than 25% of the aggregate outstanding Loans and unused Commitments); <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, <u>that</u>, the assignor shall notify the Company of any such assignment that does not require the consent of the Company prior to or promptly after such assignment (it being understood that failure by such assignor to provide such notification shall not limit the effectiveness of such 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;&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 consent of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (1) any Add-On Term Commitment or Revolving Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of the applicable facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender, or (2) any Add-On Term Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) the consent of each Issuer and each Swing Line Lender (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of Revolving Loans and/or Revolving Commitments to an Assignee other than a Revolving Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) <u>Assignment and Assumption</u>. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, the Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) <u>No Assignment to Certain Persons</u>. No such assignment shall be made (A) to any Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Borrower, or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this <u>clause (B)</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;(vi) <u>No Assignment to Natural Persons</u>. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of one or more natural persons).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) <u>Certain Additional Payments</u>. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Company and the Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. Except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender's having been a Defaulting Lender.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to <u>subsection (b)</u> below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of <u>Sections 4.01</u>, <u>4.04</u>, <u>4.05</u> and <u>11.04</u> with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the applicable Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the Assignee. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this <u>subsection (a)</u> shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with <u>subsection (c)</u> below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Register</u>. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Agent's Payment Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender 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 Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

&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>Participations</u>. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Company or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of one or more natural Persons), a Defaulting Lender, the Company, any of the Company's Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or any Person that beneficially owns more than 5% of the Company's common stock as reflected in Schedule 13D and/or Schedule 13G filed with the SEC and publicly available on the EDGAR filing system or any successor filing system) (each, a "<u>Participant</u>") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender's participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Company, the Agent, the other Lenders and the Issuers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under <u>Section 11.04(c)</u> without regard to the existence of any participation.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to <u>Section 11.01</u> that directly affects such Participant. The Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of <u>Sections 4.01</u>, <u>4.04</u> and <u>4.05</u> to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to <u>subsection (a)</u> of this <u>Section 11.07</u> (it being understood that the documentation required under <u>Section 4.01(e)</u> shall be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to <u>subsection (a)</u> of this <u>Section 11.07</u>; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of <u>Sections 4.07</u> and <u>11.24</u> as if it were an assignee under <u>subsection (a)</u> of this <u>Section 11.07</u>, (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under <u>Section 4.01</u> or <u>Section 4.04</u>, with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the applicable participation would have been entitled to receive, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the applicable Borrower's prior written consent, and (C) unless the applicable Borrower otherwise consents in writing, a Participant may only make a claim for compensation under <u>Article IV</u> through the applicable selling Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Company's expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to effectuate the provisions of <u>Section 4.07</u> with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of <u>Section 11.09</u> as though it were a Lender; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, such Participant agrees to be subject to <u>Section 2.18</u> as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the "<u>Participant Register</u>"); <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Certain Pledges</u>. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Agent or the Company, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

&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) <u>Resignation as an Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time any Revolving Lender acting as an Issuer or a Swing Line Lender assigns all of its Revolving Commitment and Revolving Loans pursuant to <u>subsection (a)</u> above, such Person may, as applicable, (i) upon 30 days' notice to the Company, the Lenders and the Agent, resign as an Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days' notice to the Company and the Agent, resign as a Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation of an Issuer or a Swing Line Lender, the Company shall be entitled to appoint from among the Revolving Lenders (with the consent of such appointee) a successor Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder, as applicable; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, no failure by the Company to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of such Person as an Issuer or as a Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If a Person resigns as an Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in unreimbursed amounts under Letters of Credit pursuant to <u>Section 3.03</u>). If a Person resigns as a Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of a Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to <u>Section 2.06(b)</u>. Upon the appointment of a successor Issuer, (A) such successor Issuer shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuer, and (B) such successor Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of such retiring Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit. Upon the appointment of a successor Swing Line Lender, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swing Line 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;(f) <u>Disqualified Institutions</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no assignment or, to the extent the list of Disqualified Institutions has been posted on the Platform for all Lenders, participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the "<u>Trade Date</u>") on which the applicable Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign or participate all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Company has consented in writing to such assignment or participation as otherwise contemplated by this <u>Section 11.07</u>, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment or participation). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee or participant that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, such assignee or participant shall not retroactively be considered a Disqualified Institution (but such assignee or participant shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be disqualified from receiving any future assignments and/or participations). Any assignment in violation of this <u>Section 11.07(f)(i)</u> shall not be void, but the other provisions of this <u>Section 11.07(f)</u> shall apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without the Company's prior written consent in violation of <u>clause (i)</u> above, the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Agent, (A) terminate any Revolving Commitment of such Disqualified Institution and repay all obligations of any Borrower owing to such Disqualified Institution in connection with such Revolving Commitment, (B) in the case of outstanding Add-On Term Loans held by Disqualified Institutions, prepay such Add-On Term Loans by paying the lesser of (1) the principal amount thereof, and (2) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such Add-On Term Loans, in each case <u>plus</u> accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and/or (C) require such Disqualified Institution to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this <u>Section 11.07</u>), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement and related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations at the lesser of (1) the principal amount thereof, and (2) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case <u>plus</u> accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and other the other Loan Documents; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, (x) the Company shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in <u>Section 11.07(a)(iv)</u>, (y) such assignment does not conflict with applicable laws, and (z) in the case of <u>clause (B)</u>, the Company shall not use the proceeds from any Loans to prepay Add-On Term Loans held by Disqualified Institutions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions (A) will not (1) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by any Borrower, the Agent or any other Lender, (2) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Agent, or (3) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Agent or the Lenders, and (B)(1) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter, and (2) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws ("<u>Plan of Reorganization</u>"), each Disqualified Institution party hereto hereby agrees (x) not to vote on such Plan of Reorganization, (y) if such Disqualified Institution does vote on such Plan of Reorganization notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing <u>clause (x)</u>, such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be "designated" pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Plan of Reorganization in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and (z) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing <u>clause (y)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) The Agent shall, and the Company hereby expressly authorizes the Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by the Company (and any updates thereto from time to time) on the Platform promptly after receipt thereof from the Company, including that portion of the Platform that is designated for Public Lenders, and (B) provide the list of Disqualified Institutions to each Lender requesting the same.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.08 <u>Confidentiality</u>.

Each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all information provided to it by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary, or by the Agent on the Company's or such Subsidiary's behalf, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall use any such information other than in connection with or in enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with other business now or hereafter existing or contemplated with the Company or any Subsidiary; except to the extent such information (a) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Lender or its Affiliates, or (b) was or becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or a Subsidiary (<u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Company known to the Lender); <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, any Lender may disclose such information: (i) at the request or pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Authority to which the Lender is subject or in connection with an examination of such Lender by any such authority; (ii) pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (iii) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law; (iv) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation or proceeding involving the Company to which the Agent, any Lender or their respective Affiliates may be party; (v) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (vi) to such Lender's independent auditors, trustees and other professional advisors; (vii) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same or at least as restrictive as those set forth in this <u>Section 11.08</u> (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Company), to any Participant or Assignee, actual or potential, any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to <u>Section 2.20(a)</u>, <u>Section 2.21(a)</u> or <u>Section 11.19</u>, or to any direct, indirect, actual or prospective counterparty to any swap, derivative or securitization transaction related to the Obligations (<u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, no such disclosure shall be made by such Lender or any of its Affiliates to any such person that is a Disqualified Institution), it being understood and agreed that the list of Disqualified Institutions may be disclosed to any Participant or Assignee, actual or potential, and any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender in reliance on this <u>clause (vii)</u>; (viii) as to any Lender or its Affiliate, as expressly permitted under the terms of any other document or agreement regarding confidentiality to which the Company or any Subsidiary is party with such Lender or such Affiliate; (ix) to its Affiliates (<u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, such Affiliate is advised of the confidentiality requirements set forth herein and agrees in writing (for the benefit of the Company) to keep such information confidential to the same extent required hereunder (it being understood that each Lender shall be liable for the breach by any of its Affiliates of any such confidentiality requirement)); (x) with the prior written consent of the Company; and (xi) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Lender's investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender. Each Lender will, so long as not prohibited from doing so by any Requirement of Law, notify the Company of any request for information of the type referred to in <u>clause (ii)</u> or <u>(iii)</u> above prior to disclosing such information so that the Company may seek appropriate relief from any applicable court or other Governmental Authority. In addition, after the Company has publicly disclosed the existence of this Agreement (which the Company agrees to do as and when required by applicable law), the Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and publicly available information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments. Nothing in any Loan Document shall prevent disclosure of any confidential information or other matter to the extent that preventing that disclosure would otherwise cause any transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents, or any transaction carried out in connection with any transaction contemplated thereby, to become an arrangement described in Part II A 1 of Annex IV of Directive 2011/16/EU. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein prohibits any individual from communicating or disclosing information regarding suspected violations of laws, rules, or regulations to a governmental, regulatory, or self-regulatory authority without any notification to any person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.09 <u>Set-off</u>.

In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, if an Event of Default exists or the Loans have been accelerated, each Lender, each Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to any Borrower, any such notice being waived by each Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding deposits held in a trustee, fiduciary, agency or similar capacity or otherwise for the benefit of a third party) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender, such Issuer or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of such Borrower against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender, such Issuer or such Affiliate, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Agent, such Lender or such Issuer shall have made demand under this Agreement or any Loan Document and although such Obligations may be denominated in a different currency, contingent or unmatured. Each Lender and each Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Company and the Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, such Issuer or such Affiliate; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, <u>that</u>, in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of <u>Section 3.12</u> and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers, and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.10 <u>Notification of Addresses, Lending Offices, Etc.</u>

Each Lender and each Issuer shall notify the Agent in writing of any changes in the address to which notices to such Lender or such Issuer should be directed, of addresses of any Lending Office, of payment instructions in respect of all payments to be made to it hereunder and of such other administrative information as the Agent shall reasonably request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.11 <u>Counterparts; Electronic Execution; Survival of Representations and Warranties</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) Except as provided in <u>Section 5.01</u>, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Agent and when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) This Agreement, any other Loan Document, and any other Communication, including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. Each Borrower, the Agent and each Lender Party agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on such Person to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this <u>clause (b)</u> may include use or acceptance of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into .pdf), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. The Agent, each of the Lender Parties and each Borrower may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (each, an "<u>Electronic Copy</u>"), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person's business, and destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, none of the Agent, any Issuer, any Swing Line Lender or any Borrower is under any obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by such Person pursuant to procedures approved by it; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Agent, an Issuer, a Swing Line Lender or a Borrower has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, each party hereto shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower, the Agent and/or any Lender Party without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Agent, any Lender Party or any Borrower, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart.

None of the Agent, any Issuer, any Swing Line Lender or any Borrower shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with such Person's reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means). The Agent, each Issuer, each Swing Line Lender and each Borrower shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any Communication (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution or signed using an Electronic Signature) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof).

Each Borrower and each Lender Party hereby waives (a) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, and (b) any claim against the Agent and each Lender Party for any liabilities arising solely from the Agent's and/or any Lender Party's reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Borrowers to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature, except to the extent that, in the case of this <u>clause (b)</u>, any such liability is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or such Lender Party, 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;(c) All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.12 <u>Severability</u>.

The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this <u>Section 11.12</u>, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Agent, any Issuer or any Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.13 <u>No Third Parties Benefited</u>.

This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Issuers, the Lead Agents, the Agent-Related Persons, and the Indemnitees, and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.14 <u>Governing Law and Jurisdiction</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) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS (WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF); <u>PROVIDED</u>, <u>THAT</u>, THE BORROWERS, THE AGENT, THE LENDERS AND THE ISSUERS SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE BORROWERS, THE AGENT, THE ISSUERS, THE SWING LINE LENDERS AND THE LENDERS CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH OF THE BORROWERS, THE AGENT, THE ISSUERS, THE SWING LINE LENDERS AND THE LENDERS IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF <u>FORUM NON CONVENIENS</u>, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO. THE BORROWERS, THE AGENT, THE ISSUERS, THE SWING LINE LENDERS AND THE LENDERS EACH WAIVE PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY ILLINOIS LAW.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.15 <u>WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL</u>.

THE BORROWERS, THE LENDERS, THE AGENT, THE ISSUERS AND THE SWING LINE LENDERS EACH WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY AGENT-RELATED PERSON, PARTICIPANT OR ASSIGNEE, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, OR OTHERWISE. THE BORROWERS, THE LENDERS AND THE AGENT EACH AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS <u>SECTION 11.15</u> AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.16 <u>Judgment</u>.

If, for the purposes of filing a claim or obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Agent, any Lender or any Issuer hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the "<u>Judgment Currency</u>") other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the "<u>Agreement Currency</u>"), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Agent, such Lender or such Issuer of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Agent, such Lender or such Issuer may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Agent, such Lender or such Issuer in the Agreement Currency, each Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Agent, such Lender or such Issuer or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Agent, such Lender or such Issuer in such currency, the Agent, such Lender or such Issuer agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.17 <u>Entire Agreement</u>.

This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agent or any Issuer, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.18 <u>USA PATRIOT Act Notice</u>.

Each Lender that is subject to the PATRIOT Act and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the "<u>PATRIOT Act</u>"), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify such Borrower in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. Each Borrower agrees to, promptly following a request by the Agent or any Lender, provide all such other documentation and information that the Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable "know your customer" and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.19 <u>Extension of Revolving Termination Date</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 Company may, by written notice to the Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Revolving Lenders) not less than thirty (30) days and not more than ninety (90) days prior to any anniversary of the Effective Date, request that the Revolving Lenders extend, effective as of such anniversary of the Effective Date, the then-existing Revolving Termination Date and the Revolving Commitments for an additional period of one (1) year. Each Revolving Lender shall, by notice to the Agent given not later than the twentieth (20<sup>th</sup>) day after the date of the Agent's receipt of the Company's extension request, advise the Agent whether or not it agrees to the requested extension (each Revolving Lender agreeing to a requested extension being called a "<u>Consenting Lender</u>" and each Revolving Lender declining to agree to a requested extension being called a "<u>Declining Lender</u>"). Any Revolving Lender that has not so advised the Agent by such day shall be deemed to have declined to agree to such extension and shall be a Declining Lender. If Revolving Lenders constituting the Required Revolving Lenders shall have agreed to an extension request, then the then-existing Revolving Termination Date shall, as to the Consenting Lenders, be extended to the first (1<sup>st</sup>) anniversary of the then-existing Revolving Termination Date. The decision to agree or withhold agreement to any Revolving Termination Date extension shall be at the sole discretion of each Revolving Lender. The Revolving Commitment of any Declining Lender shall terminate on the Revolving Termination Date in effect immediately prior to giving effect to any such extension (such Revolving Termination Date being called the "<u>Existing Revolving Termination Date</u>"). The principal amount of any outstanding Revolving Loans made by Declining Lenders, together with any accrued interest thereon and any accrued fees and other amounts payable to or for the accounts of such Declining Lenders hereunder, shall be due and payable on the Existing Revolving Termination Date, and on the Existing Revolving Termination Date, the Borrowers shall also make such other prepayments of their Revolving Loans and/or Swing Line Loans and, to the extent necessary, provide Backup Support for L/C Obligations as shall be required in order that, after giving effect to the termination of the Revolving Commitments of, and all payments to, Declining Lenders pursuant to this sentence, the Total Revolving Usage of all Revolving Lenders shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the Company shall have the right, pursuant to <u>Section 11.24</u>, at any time prior to the Existing Revolving Termination Date, to replace any Declining Lender with a Revolving Lender or other Eligible Assignee that will agree to a request for the extension of the Revolving Termination Date, and any such replacement Revolving Lender shall for all purposes constitute a Consenting Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no extension of the Revolving Termination Date pursuant to this <u>Section 11.19(a)</u> shall become effective unless (i) with respect to each Borrower then existing at such time, the Agent shall have received deliverables of the type required pursuant to <u>Sections 5.01(b)</u> and <u>(c)</u> and, if reasonably requested by the Agent, favorable written opinions of counsel to the Borrowers addressed to the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and (ii) on the anniversary of the Effective Date that immediately follows the date on which the Company delivers the applicable request for extension of the then-existing Revolving Termination Date, immediately after giving effect to such extension, (A) the representations and warranties contained in <u>Article VI</u> are true and correct in all material respects (or, if any such representation and warranty is qualified by reference to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, it shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such anniversary with the same effect as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, if any such representation and warranty is qualified by reference to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, it shall be true and correct in all respects) as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this <u>Section 11.19(a)(ii)(A)</u>, the representations and warranties contained in <u>Section 6.11(a)(i)</u> shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to <u>Section 7.01(a)</u>), and (B) no Default or Event of Default exists, and the Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Responsible Officer of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this <u>Section 11.19</u>, the Revolving Termination Date (without taking into consideration any extension pursuant to this <u>Section 11.19</u>), solely as such term is used in reference to any Issuer or any Letters of Credit issued by such Issuer, or in reference to any Swing Line Lender or any Swing Line Loans made by such Swing Line Lender, may not be extended without the prior written consent of such Issuer or such Swing Line Lender, as applicable (it being understood and agreed that, in the event any Issuer or any Swing Line Lender, as applicable, shall not have consented to any such extension, (i) such Issuer shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuer hereunder and such Swing Line Lender shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Swing Line Lender hereunder, in each case through the applicable Existing Revolving Termination Date and thereafter shall have no obligation to issue, amend, extend or renew any Letter of Credit or to make any Swing Line Loan, as applicable (but shall, in each case, continue to be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement as to Letters of Credit issued by it or Swing Line Loans made by it, as applicable, prior to such time), and (ii) the Borrowers shall cause all L/C Obligations attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuer to be zero no later than the day on which such L/C Obligations would have been required to have been reduced to zero in accordance with the terms hereof without giving effect to any effectiveness of the extension of the applicable Existing Revolving Termination Date pursuant to this <u>Section 11.19</u> (and, in any event, no later than the applicable Existing Revolving 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) In connection with any extension of the Revolving Termination Date pursuant to this <u>Section 11.19</u>, the Borrowers, the Agent, and each extending Lender, without the consent of any other party to this Agreement, may make such amendments to this Agreement or any other Loan Document as the Company and the Agent determines to be reasonably necessary to evidence such extension. This <u>Section 11.19</u> shall supersede any provisions in <u>Section 2.18</u> or <u>Section 11.01</u> to the contrary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.20 <u>No Fiduciary or Implied Duties</u>.

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates' understanding, that: (a)(i) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Agent and any Affiliate thereof, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Lenders and the Issuers are arm's-length commercial transactions between the Borrowers and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agent and, as applicable, its Affiliates (including BofA Securities), the Lenders and their Affiliates and the Issuers and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this <u>Section 11.20</u>, the "<u>Lenders</u>"), on the other hand, (ii) each Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (iii) each Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (b)(i) the Agent and its Affiliates (including BofA Securities) and each Lender each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary, for any Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person, and (ii) neither the Agent, any of its Affiliates (including BofA Securities) nor any Lender has any obligation to any Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (c) the Agent and its Affiliates (including BofA Securities) and the Lenders may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrowers and their respective Affiliates, and neither the Agent, any of its Affiliates (including BofA Securities) nor any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to any Borrower or any of its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Agent, any of its Affiliates (including BofA Securities) or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transactions contemplated hereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.21 <u>Termination of Commitments Under the Existing Credit Agreement; Waiver of Notice of Prepayment</u>.

The Company and the Lenders that are parties to the Existing Credit Agreement agree that concurrently with the effectiveness hereof, all "Commitments" under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement shall terminate. By its signature hereto, each Lender that is a lender under the Existing Credit Agreement hereby waives the notice requirement otherwise applicable to the Company under Section 2.09 of the Existing Credit Agreement in respect of the Company's prepayment of the loans thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.22 <u>[Reserved].</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.23 <u>Negative Covenant Construction</u>.

For purposes of compliance with <u>Section 8.01</u> and <u>Section 8.05</u>, if the Company and its Subsidiaries (as applicable) are in compliance with a negative covenant set forth in any such Section on the date of consummation of an applicable transaction (or the occurrence of an applicable event) in reliance on an exception thereto that is based on a percentage of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, the Company and its Subsidiaries (as applicable) shall not thereafter be deemed not to be in compliance with such negative covenant due to a diminution in value of such assets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.24 <u>Replacement of Lenders</u>.

If the Company is entitled to replace or remove a Lender pursuant to the provisions of <u>Section 4.07</u> or <u>Section 11.19(a)</u>, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, or if any Lender assigns or participates all or any portion of its Loans and/or Commitments in violation of <u>Section 11.07</u> (and solely to the extent such assignment or participation made in violation of <u>Section 11.07</u> is made without the written consent of the Company), then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, <u>Section 11.07</u>), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to <u>Sections 4.01</u> and <u>4.04</u>) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), or terminate the Commitments of such Lender; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) in the case of an assignment, the Company shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in <u>Section 11.07</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;(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under <u>Section 4.05</u>) from (i) in the case of an assignment, the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all other amounts), or (ii) in the case of a termination, the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Requirements of Law; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) in the case of a termination (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) if the termination relates to a claim for compensation under <u>Section 4.04</u> or payments required to be made pursuant to <u>Section 4.01</u>, the Company shall concurrently terminate the Commitments of each other Lender that has made a similar demand.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (A) the failure of any Lender being replaced pursuant to this <u>Section 11.24</u> to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption shall not impair the validity of the removal of such Lender and the mandatory assignment of such Lender's Commitments and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans pursuant to this <u>Section 11.24</u> shall nevertheless be effective without the execution by such Lender of an Assignment and Assumption, (B) any Lender that acts as an Issuer hereunder may not be replaced pursuant to this <u>Section 11.24</u> at any time that it has Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder that are not Supported Letters of Credit, and (C) any Lender that acts as a Swing Line Lender hereunder may not be replaced pursuant to this <u>Section 11.24</u> at any time that it has Swing Line Loans outstanding hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.25 <u>Amendment and Restatement</u>.

The parties hereto agree that, on the Effective Date, the following transactions shall be deemed to occur automatically, without further action by any party hereto: (a) the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be amended and restated in its entirety pursuant to this Agreement; (b) all Obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement outstanding on the Effective Date shall in all respects be continuing and shall be deemed to be Obligations outstanding hereunder; (c) any guaranties made pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement and the related loan documents (other than the guaranty by the Company pursuant to Section 12.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement, which is superseded and replaced by <u>Section 12.01</u>) are terminated, released and discharged; (d) all Existing Letters of Credit outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement on the Effective Date shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit outstanding on the Effective Date under this Agreement; and (e) all references in the other Loan Documents to the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer without further amendment to this Agreement. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that this Agreement constitutes an amendment to the Existing Credit Agreement made under and in accordance with the terms of Section 11.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.26 <u>New Lenders</u>.

From and after the Effective Date, by execution of this Agreement, each Person identified as a "Lender" on each signature page that is not already a Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement hereby acknowledges, agrees and confirms that, by its execution of this Agreement, such Person will be deemed to be a party to this Agreement and a "Lender" for all purposes of this Agreement, and shall have all of the obligations of a Lender hereunder. Such Person hereby ratifies, as of the Effective Date, and agrees to be bound by, all of the terms, provisions and conditions applicable to the Lenders contained in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.27 <u>Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions</u>.

Solely to the extent any Lender or any Issuer that is an Affected Financial Institution is a party to this Agreement and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender or any Issuer that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender or any Issuer that is an Affected Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable, (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability, (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any applicable Resolution Authority. Each Lender confirms, as of the Effective Date (or, if later, the date upon which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement) that, unless notified in writing by such Lender to the Company and the Agent, such Lender is not an Affected Financial Institution. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Company and the Agent if for any reason, at any time, it becomes an Affected Financial Institution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.28 <u>Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs</u>.

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

**Article XII**

**COMPANY GUARANTY**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.01 <u>The Guaranty</u>.

In order to induce the Lenders and the Issuers to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by the Company from the proceeds of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit, the Company hereby agrees with the Lenders and the Issuers as follows: the Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors. If any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors becomes due and payable hereunder, the Company unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the applicable Guaranteed Creditors, on demand, together with any and all expenses which may be incurred by such Guaranteed Creditors in collecting any such Guaranteed Obligations. If claim is ever made upon any Guaranteed Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any Guaranteed Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including the Subsidiaries), then and in such event the Company agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon the Company, notwithstanding any revocation of this guaranty or other instrument evidencing any liability of any Subsidiary, and the Company shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee. The Company represents and warrants that (i) as of the Effective Date, the Company is an "eligible contract participant" as such term is defined and interpreted under the Commodity Exchange Act, and (ii) on each date on which the Guaranteed Obligations include any obligations under any Swap Contracts, the Company will be deemed to represent and warrant that the Company is an "eligible contract participant" as such term is defined and interpreted under the Commodity Exchange Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.02 <u>Insolvency</u>.

Additionally, the Company unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of the Dollar Equivalent of any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors whether or not due or payable by any such Subsidiary upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in <u>Section 9.01(f)</u> or <u>Section 9.01(g)</u>, and unconditionally promises to pay the Dollar Equivalent of such Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand, in lawful money of the United States.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.03 <u>Nature of Liability</u>.

The liability of the Company hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations whether executed by the Company, any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of the Company hereunder is not affected or impaired by: (a) any direction as to application of payment by the Company, any Subsidiary or by any other party; or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Guaranteed Obligations of any Subsidiary; or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking; or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Company or any Subsidiary; or (e) any payment made to any Guaranteed Creditor on the Guaranteed Obligations which any such Guaranteed Creditor repays to the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and the Company waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.04 <u>Independent Obligation</u>.

The obligations of the Company hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other guarantor, any other party or any Subsidiary, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Company whether or not action is brought against any other guarantor, any other party or any Subsidiary and whether or not any other guarantor, any other party or any Subsidiary is joined in any such action or actions. The Company waives, to the full extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by any Subsidiary or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to such Subsidiary shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to the Company's obligations under this <u>Article XII</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.05 <u>Authorization</u>.

The Company authorizes the Guaranteed Creditors without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:

&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) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Guaranteed Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and the guaranty herein made shall apply to such Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed or altered;

&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) take and hold security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, such Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset there against;

&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) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any Subsidiary or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

&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) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, Borrowers or other obligors;

&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) settle or compromise any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Subsidiary to its creditors other than the Guaranteed Creditors;

&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) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of any Subsidiary to the Guaranteed Creditors regardless of what liability or liabilities of the Company or any Subsidiary remain unpaid;

&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) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/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;(h) take any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of the Company from its liabilities under this guaranty;

it being understood that the foregoing shall not permit any action by the Agent, any Lender or any Issuer that is not otherwise permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.06 <u>Reliance</u>.

It is not necessary for any Guaranteed Creditor to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Subsidiary or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Guaranteed Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.07 <u>Subordination</u>.

Any of the indebtedness of each Subsidiary relating to the Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter owing to the Company is hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations of such Subsidiary owing to the Guaranteed Creditors, and if the Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such indebtedness relating to the Guaranteed Obligations of such Subsidiary to the Company shall be collected, enforced and received by the Company for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and be paid over to the Agent on behalf of the Guaranteed Creditors on account of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Subsidiary to the Guaranteed Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of the Company under the other provisions of this guaranty. Prior to the transfer by the Company of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any of the indebtedness relating to the Guaranteed Obligations of such Subsidiary to the Company, the Company shall mark such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.08 <u>Waiver.</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 Company waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require any Guaranteed Creditor to (i) proceed against any Subsidiary, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Subsidiary, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any Guaranteed Creditor's power whatsoever. The Company waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, based on or arising out of the disability of any Subsidiary, any other guarantor or any other party, or the validity, legality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Subsidiary other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guaranteed Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor by one or more judicial or non-judicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Guaranteed Creditors may have against any Subsidiary or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of the Company hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid. The Company waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Company against any Subsidiary or any other party or any security.

&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) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Company waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations. The Company assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Subsidiary's financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which the Company assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Agent and the Lenders shall have no duty to advise the Company of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.09 <u>Nature of Liability</u>.

It is the desire and intent of the Company and the Guaranteed Creditors that this guaranty shall be enforced against the Company to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If, however, and to the extent that, the obligations of the Company under this guaranty shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers), then the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to be reduced and the Company shall pay the maximum amount of the Guaranteed Obligations which would be permissible under applicable law.

<u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, if financial statements and a Compliance Certificate are not delivered when due in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, then, at the request of the Required Lenders, upon notice to the Company, Level V shall apply as of the first Business Day after the date on which such financial statements and such Compliance Certificate were required to have been delivered and shall remain in effect until the first Business Day following the date on which such financial statements and such Compliance Certificate are delivered in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. Any increase or decrease in the Applicable Daily Rate Margin, the Applicable Term Rate Margin, the Applicable Base Rate Margin, the Applicable Daily SOFR Rate Margin, the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate and the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage (i) resulting from a change in the Leverage Ratio shall become effective as of the first Business Day immediately following the date financial statements and a Compliance Certificate are delivered pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement, and (ii) resulting from a publicly announced change in the Ratings shall be effective as of the date on which such change is publicly announced. The Applicable Daily Rate Margin, the Applicable Term Rate Margin, the Applicable Base Rate Margin, the Applicable Daily SOFR Rate Margin, the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate and the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage in effect on the Effective Date shall be based on Level III.

<sup>1</sup> The Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate for Letters of Credit to support a Person's performance obligations (which shall not include any payment obligation) in respect of customer contracts shall equal 50% of the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate set forth in the table above.

For purposes of the foregoing, on any date of determination: (a) if as of such date there are three Ratings, (i) if two of the three Ratings are equivalent and the third Rating is lower (i.e. such Rating corresponds to a numerically higher Level than the other two Ratings), then the Level for the two Ratings that are equivalent (i.e. the Level that is numerically lower) shall apply, (ii) if two of the three Ratings are equivalent and the third Rating is higher (i.e. such Rating corresponds to a numerically lower Level than the other two Ratings), then the Level for the two Ratings that are equivalent (i.e. the Level that is numerically higher) shall apply, and (iii) if all three Ratings correspond to different Levels, then the Level corresponding to the Rating that is neither the highest Rating nor the lowest Rating shall apply; (b) if as of such date there are only two Ratings, (i) if the Ratings shall differ by one Level, then the Level for the higher (i.e. the Level that is numerically lower) of such Ratings shall apply, and (ii) if the Ratings differ by more than one Level, then the Level that is one level lower (i.e. the Level that is numerically higher) than the Level of the higher (i.e. the Level that is numerically lower) Rating shall apply; and (c) if as of such date there is only one Rating, or if as of such date there is no Rating, then, in either case, the Applicable Daily Rate Margin, the Applicable Term Rate Margin, the Applicable Base Rate Margin, the Applicable Daily SOFR Rate Margin, the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate and the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage shall be determined by reference to the Level corresponding to the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Company most recently ended on or prior to such date for which the Agent has received financial statements pursuant to <u>Section 7.01(a)</u> or <u>Section 7.01(b)</u>, as applicable, and a Compliance Certificate pursuant to <u>Section 7.02(a)</u> (or, if the circumstances described in this <u>clause (c)</u> exist prior to the first date on which the Company is required to deliver financial statements and a Compliance Certificate pursuant to this Agreement, then, until the first Business Day following the date on which such financial statements and such Compliance Certificate are delivered in accordance with this Agreement, the Applicable Daily Rate Margin, the Applicable Term Rate Margin, the Applicable Base Rate Margin, the Applicable Daily SOFR Rate Margin, the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate and the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage shall be determined by reference to the Level corresponding to the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Company most recently ended for which the Company has delivered financial statements and a compliance certificate pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement). If the rating system of S&P, Moody's or Fitch shall change, or if any such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Company and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend the pricing provisions of this Agreement to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency (it being understood that until so amended, the other provisions applicable to the determination of pricing shall continue to apply).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, at any time the Applicable Daily Rate Margin, the Applicable Term Rate Margin, the Applicable Base Rate Margin, the Applicable Daily SOFR Rate Margin, the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate and the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage are determined by reference to the Leverage Ratio, if, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Company or for any other reason, the Company or the Lenders reasonably and in good faith determine that (a) the Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Company as of any applicable date was inaccurate, and (b) a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing or fees for such period, the Company shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Agent, for the account of the applicable Lenders, the applicable Swing Line Lenders, or the applicable Issuers, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Company under any Debtor Relief Laws, automatically and without further action by the Agent, any Lender, any Swing Line Lender or any Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Agent, any Lender, any Swing Line Lender, or any Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement. The Company's obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Commitments, the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and relying upon the representations and warranties herein specified, each Lender severally agrees to make its portion of a term loan (the "<u>Term Loan</u>") to the Borrower in Dollars on the Effective Date in an amount not to exceed such Lender's Term Loan Commitment. The Term Loan may consist of Base Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans, or a combination thereof, as further provided herein, <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, the borrowing of the Term Loan on the Effective Date shall be made as Base Rate Loans unless the Borrower delivers a funding indemnity letter in a form reasonably acceptable to the Agent with the Notice of Borrowing delivered pursuant to <u>Section 2.02</u>. The Term Loan Commitments of the Lenders shall be automatically and permanently terminated concurrently with the making of the Term Loan on the Effective Date. The Term Loan Commitments are not revolving credit commitments, and any portion of the Term Loan that is repaid may not be reborrowed.

In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the Register, the Register shall control in the absence of demonstrable 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;(b) The Borrower shall, at the request of any Lender, issue to such Lender a single note (each a "<u>Note</u>"), substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit E</u>, to evidence such Lender's Loans to the Borrower. Each Lender may, instead of or in addition to maintaining a loan account, endorse on the schedule annexed to its Note the date, amount and maturity of each Loan made by it and the amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrower with respect thereto. Each such Lender is irrevocably authorized by the Borrower to endorse its Note and each Lender's record shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, the failure of a Lender to make, or an error in making, a notation thereon with respect to any Loan shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any such Note to such 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;(d) The Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, or, if no timely notice is provided by the Borrower, of the details of any automatic conversion or continuation. All conversions and continuations shall be made ratably according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans with respect to which the notice was given held by each Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent, during the existence of a Specified Default, the Borrower may not elect to have the Term Loan converted into or continued as a Term SOFR Loan.

&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) [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;(g) After giving effect to any conversion or continuation of Loans, unless the Agent shall otherwise consent, there may not be more than five (5) different Interest Periods in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Agent to accept Notices of Conversion/Continuation based on telephonic notices made by any Person, the Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Agent a written confirmation of each telephonic notice, signed by a Responsible Officer or an authorized designee of the Borrower. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.10 <u>Optional Prepayments</u>.

Subject to <u>Section 4.05</u>, the Borrower may, at any time or from time to time, upon not less than two (2) Business Days' irrevocable notice to the Agent (which notice may be conditioned upon the consummation of replacement financing or another transaction), in respect of any Term SOFR Loans, and in respect of Base Rate Loans, by not later than 10:30 a.m. on the prepayment date, prepay Loans in whole or in part, in an aggregate minimum amount that is (a) not less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount agreed to by the Agent), and (b) a higher integral multiple of $500,000. Such notice of prepayment shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, which Loans are to be prepaid and the Type(s) of such Loans to be prepaid. The Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of any such notice, and of such Lender's Ratable Share of such prepayment, subject to <u>Section 2.19</u>, if applicable. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together, in the case of Term SOFR Loans, with accrued interest to each such date on the amount prepaid and any amounts required pursuant to <u>Section 4.05</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.11 <u>[Reserved]</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.12 <u>Repayment.</u>

The Borrower shall repay the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan outstanding on the Maturity Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.13 <u>Interest</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable Borrowing Date at a rate per annum equal to (i) Term SOFR <u>plus</u> the Applicable Term Rate Margin, or (ii) the Base Rate, as the case may be (and subject to the Borrower's right to convert (x) Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans, and (y) Term SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Interest on each Loan shall be paid in arrears on each applicable Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date. Interest on Term SOFR Loans shall also be paid on the date of any prepayment thereof for the portion of the Loans so prepaid. During the existence of any Event of Default, interest on all Loans shall be paid on demand of the Agent at the request or with the consent of 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;(c) Notwithstanding <u>Section 2.13(a)</u>, (i) upon the request of the Required Lenders while any Event of Default exists, or (ii) after acceleration, the Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the principal amount of all outstanding Loans, at a rate per annum determined by adding 2% per annum to the applicable interest rate otherwise then in effect for such Loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrower to any Lender hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required for any period for which interest is computed hereunder to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by such Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any Requirement of Law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest that may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, and in such event the Borrower shall pay such Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable Requirements of Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.14 <u>Fees</u>.

The Borrower shall pay such fees as are required by the Fee Letter or as otherwise agreed to by the Borrower from time to time in connection herewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.15 <u>Computation of Fees and Interest</u>.

Interest on any Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to Term SOFR) shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year) or on such other basis as the Agent shall reasonably determine is customary for the relevant currency. Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or such fees are computed from the first day thereof to the last day thereof. Each determination of an interest rate by the Agent shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the applicable Lenders in the absence of demonstrable error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.16 <u>Payments by the Borrower; Timing of Performance</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) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made free and clear of and without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim. Except as otherwise specified herein, all payments by the Borrower shall be made to the Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders at the Agent's Payment Office no later than 11:00 a.m. on the date specified herein. All such payments shall be made in Dollars and in Same Day Funds to the Agent. The Agent will promptly distribute to each applicable Lender its applicable share of such payment which, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be based upon such Lender's Ratable Share of the Loans in respect of which such payment has been made. Any payment received by the Agent later than 1:00 p.m. shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of "Interest Period" herein, whenever any payment is due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be. Except as expressly otherwise provided herein to the contrary, when performance of any covenant, duty or obligation (other than any payment obligation) is stated to be due or performance required on a day that is not a Business Day, the date of such performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day.

&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 the Agent receives notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that the Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when required, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date in Same Day Funds and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. With respect to any payment that the Agent makes for the account of any Lender hereunder as to which the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the "<u>Rescindable Amount</u>"): (i) the Borrower has not in fact made such payment; (ii) the Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by the Borrower (whether or not then owed); or (iii) the Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.17 <u>Payments by the Lenders to the Agent</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) Unless the Agent receives notice from a Lender on or prior to the Effective Date that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to the Agent for the account of the Borrower the amount of that Lender's Ratable Share of the Term Loan, the Agent may assume that each Lender has made such amount available to the Agent in Same Day Funds on the Effective Date and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have made its full amount available to the Agent in Same Day Funds and the Agent in such circumstances has made available to the Borrower such amount, that Lender shall on the Business Day following the Effective Date make such amount available to the Agent, together with interest at the Overnight Bank Funding Rate for each day during such period. A notice of the Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this <u>subsection (a)</u> shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such payment to the Agent shall constitute such Lender's Loan on the Effective Date for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to the Agent on the Business Day following the Effective Date, the Agent will notify the Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by the Agent, the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Agent for the Agent's account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the Effective Date, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The failure of any Lender to make any Loan on the Effective Date shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation hereunder to make its Loan on the Effective Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the Effective Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.18 <u>Sharing of Payments, Etc.</u>

If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder), such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase in Dollars from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment pro rata with each of them; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other applicable Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender's required repayment <u>to</u> (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to <u>Section 11.09</u>) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this <u>Section 2.18</u> and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.19 <u>Defaulting Lenders</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) 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 <u>Section 11.01</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;(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to <u>Article IX</u> or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to <u>Section 11.09</u>), shall be applied at such time or times as may be reasonably determined by the Agent as follows (and, in any case, when due): <u>first</u>, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; <u>second</u>, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Specified Default exists), to the funding of any Term Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; <u>third</u>, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund its portion of the Term Loan under this Agreement; <u>fourth</u>, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; <u>fifth</u>, so long as no Specified Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and <u>sixth</u>, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, (A) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Term Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (B) such Term Loan was made at a time when the conditions set forth in <u>Section 5.01</u> were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender. 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 pursuant to this <u>Section 2.19(a)(ii)</u> 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;(b) The Agent agrees to promptly notify the Borrower upon any Lender's becoming a Defaulting Lender (but the Agent shall have no liability for any failure to give, or any delay in giving, any such notice). If the Borrower and the Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will promptly so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender's having been a Defaulting Lender.

If any applicable Requirements of Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Agent) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Agent or the Borrower, then the Agent or the Borrower shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to <u>subsection (e)</u> below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) If the Borrower or the Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to <u>subsection (e)</u> below, (B) the Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this <u>Section 4.01</u>) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

The Borrower shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, accompanied by a certificate complying with <u>Section 4.06</u>, for any amount which a Lender for any reason fails to pay to the Agent in cash as required pursuant to <u>Section 4.01(c)(ii)</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;(ii) Each Lender shall, and does hereby agree to, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, (A) the Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (B) the Agent and the Borrower, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of <u>Section 11.07(c)</u> relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (C) the Agent and the Borrower, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender that are payable or paid by the Agent or the Borrower 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.

In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in <u>Sections 4.01(e)(ii)(A)</u>, <u>(ii)(B)</u> and <u>(ii)(D)</u>) shall not be required if in the Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) any Lender that is a Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(I) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "interest" article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "business profits" or "other income" article of such tax treaty;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit F-2</u> or <u>Exhibit F-3</u>, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit F-4</u> on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this <u>clause (D)</u>, "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Effective Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 pursuant to this <u>Section 4.01</u> expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) In the case of a Lender that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Lender shall be deemed to comply with the requirements of <u>Sections 4.01(e)(ii)(A)</u>, <u>4.01(e)(ii)(B)</u> and <u>4.01(e)(ii)(C)</u> if such requirements are met by the owner as if it were a 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;(f) <u>Treatment of Certain Refunds</u>. Unless required by applicable Requirements of Law, at no time shall the Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If any Recipient 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 by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this <u>Section 4.01</u>, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this <u>Section 4.01</u> with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, the Borrower, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (<u>plus</u> any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this <u>subsection (f)</u>, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this <u>subsection (f)</u> the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This <u>subsection (f)</u> shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower 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;(g) <u>[Reserved]</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;(h) <u>Survival</u>. Each party's obligations under this <u>Section 4.01</u> shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.02 <u>Illegality</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) If any Lender determines that the introduction after the <u>First Amendment</u> Effective Date of any Requirement of Law, or any Change in Law, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest rate is determined by reference to SOFR or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR or Term SOFR, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make, maintain or fund such Loans, or to determine or charge such interest rates, or to continue the applicable Term SOFR Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans shall, in any such case, be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, at which time such Lender shall promptly notify the Agent and the Borrower, and such Lender's obligation to make such Loans shall be reinstated.

&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 Lender makes any of the determinations described in <u>Section 4.02(a)</u>, the Borrower shall, upon the receipt by the Borrower of notice of such fact and demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), (i) prepay in full such Term SOFR Loans of such Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon and amounts required under <u>Section 4.05</u>, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon Term SOFR, the 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 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 Term SOFR, at which time such Lender shall promptly notify the Agent and the Borrower, and the Agent shall return to computing interest rates based upon Term SOFR for such Lender. If the Borrower is required to so prepay any Loan pursuant to this <u>Section 4.02(b)</u>, then concurrently with such prepayment, the Borrower shall borrow from the affected Lender, in the amount of such repayment, a Base Rate Loan (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate).

&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) If the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain any Loans has been terminated or suspended pursuant to the provisions of this <u>Section 4.02</u>, the Borrower may elect, by giving notice to such Lender through the Agent, that all Loans which would otherwise be made or maintained by such Lender as Term SOFR Loans, instead be made or maintained as Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate) made to or maintained for, as applicable, the Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.03 <u>Inability to Determine Rates; Benchmark Replacement Setting</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan, or any conversion or continuation thereof, (i) the Agent reasonably determines in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan or (ii) the Agent or the Required Lenders reasonably determine in good faith that for any reason that Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding such Loan, the Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and all Lenders. Thereafter, (A) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Periods), and (B) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Term SOFR component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Required Lenders described in <u>clause (ii)</u> of this <u>Section 4.03(a)</u>, until the Agent upon instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (1) the Borrower may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation then submitted by it (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Lenders shall make, convert or continue the Loans, as proposed by the Borrower, in the amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by the Borrower, but such Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base Rate Loans and (2) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans shall be converted to Base Rate Loans at the end of their respective applicable Interest Periods. The Agent shall, promptly following its determination that the reason for any suspension under this <u>Section 4.03</u> no longer exists, deliver a notice of revocation of such suspension to the Borrower and each applicable Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Benchmark Replacement Setting.

&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) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (A) if a Benchmark Replacement 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 (B) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the 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;(ii) In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent will have the right (in consultation with the Borrower) to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective (on a prospective basis only) without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to paragraph (iv) below and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section, 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) 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), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate or based on a term rate and either (I) 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 Agent in its reasonable discretion or (II) 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 not or will not be representative, then the 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 such unavailable or non-representative tenor; and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (I) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (II) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the 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;(v) Upon the Borrower's receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a given Benchmark, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Term Loan bearing interest based on or with reference to such Benchmark or conversion to or continuation of Term Loans bearing interest based on or with reference to such Benchmark to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Base Rate Loan or conversion to a Base Rate Loan. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the 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 Base Rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) As used in this Section:

"<u>Available Tenor</u>" means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, if such Benchmark is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining the length of an interest period pursuant to this Agreement as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor of such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of "Interest Period" pursuant to clause (iv) of this Section.

"<u>Benchmark</u>" means, initially, the Term SOFR Reference Rate; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to the then-current Benchmark, then "Benchmark" means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to this Section.

"<u>Benchmark Replacement</u>" means, with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Daily Simple SOFR; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) the sum of (A) the alternate benchmark
 rate that has been selected by the Agent and the Borrower, giving due consideration to (x) any
 selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining
 such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (y) any evolving or then-prevailing
 market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark
 for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time and (B) the related
 Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

<u>provided</u> that if the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to the foregoing would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and <u>provided further</u>, that any Benchmark Replacement shall be administratively feasible as determined by the Agent in its sole discretion.

"<u>Benchmark Replacement Adjustment</u>" means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Agent and the Borrower, giving due consideration to (A) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body or (B) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time.

"<u>Benchmark Replacement Date</u>" means a date and time determined by the Agent, which date shall be no later than the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of
 the definition of "Benchmark Transition Event," the later of (A) the date
 of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (B) the
 date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the
 calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide such Benchmark (or such
 component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, all Available
 Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) in the case of clause (3) of the
 definition of "Benchmark Transition Event," the date determined by the Agent,
 which date shall promptly follow the date of the public statement or publication of information
 referenced therein;

For the avoidance of doubt, if such Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, the "Benchmark Replacement Date" will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

"<u>Benchmark Transition Event</u>" means, the occurrence of one or more of the following events, with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) a public statement or publication of
 information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component
 used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease
 to provide such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate
 or is based on a term rate, all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof),
 permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication,
 there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of
 such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) a public statement or publication of
 information by an Official Body having jurisdiction over the Agent, the regulatory supervisor
 for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation
 thereof), the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, an insolvency
 official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component),
 a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such
 component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the
 administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator
 of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide such Benchmark
 (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate,
 all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely,
 provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator
 that will continue to provide such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark
 is a term rate or is based on a term rate, any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such
 component thereof); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) a public statement or publication of
 information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the
 published component used in the calculation thereof) or an Official Body having jurisdiction
 over the Agent announcing that such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark
 is a term rate or is based on a term rate, all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such
 component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative.

For the avoidance of doubt, if such Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, a "Benchmark Transition Event" will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

"<u>Benchmark Unavailability Period</u>" means the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with this <u>Section 4.03(b)</u> and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with this <u>Section 4.03(b)</u>.

"<u>Floor</u>" means the benchmark rate floor, if any, provided in this Agreement initially (as of the execution of this Agreement, the modification, amendment or renewal of this Agreement or otherwise) with respect to Term SOFR or, if no floor is specified, zero.

"<u>Official Body</u>" means the government of the United States of America or any other nation, or of any political subdivision thereof, whether state or local, and any agency, authority, instrumentality, regulatory body, court, central bank or other entity exercising executive, legislative, judicial, taxing, regulatory or administrative powers or functions of or pertaining to government (including any supra-national bodies such as the European Union or the European Central Bank) and any group or body charged with setting financial accounting or regulatory capital rules or standards (including the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Bank for International Settlements or the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision or any successor or similar authority to any of the foregoing).

"<u>Relevant Governmental Body</u>" means the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or any successor thereto.

The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.09 <u>Survival</u>.

The agreements and obligations of the Borrower in this <u>Article IV</u> shall survive the payment of all other Obligations. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this <u>Section 4.09</u> shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand such compensation; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, with respect to any Lender's claim for compensation under <u>Section 4.02</u> or <u>4.04</u>, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender for any amount incurred more than 120 days prior to the date that such Lender demands compensation in accordance herewith (except that, if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 120-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;10.02 <u>Rights as a Lender</u>.

The Person serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or provide notice to or consent of the Lenders with respect thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.03 <u>Exculpatory Provisions</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 Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent and its Related 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

&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) Neither the Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by the Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in <u>Sections 9.02</u> and <u>11.01</u>), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given in writing to the Agent by the Borrower or a 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) Neither the Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in <u>Article V</u> or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Neither the Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions of this Agreement relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall not ‎(i) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified ‎Institution, or (ii) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any ‎Disqualified Institution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.04 <u>Reliance by Agent</u>.

The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, communication, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and reasonably believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.05 <u>Delegation of Duties</u>.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.06 <u>Resignation of Agent</u>.

The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and which consent shall not be required during the existence of an Event of Default), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and consented to by the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)) (the "<u>Resignation Effective Date</u>"), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, if the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. With effect from the Resignation Effective Date, (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (ii) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this <u>Section 10.06</u>. Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent (other than as provided in <u>Section 4.01(h)</u> and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring (or retired) Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date), and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this <u>Section 10.06</u>). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent's resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this <u>Article X</u> and <u>Section 11.04</u> shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them (A) while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent, and (B) after such resignation for as long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.07 <u>Non-Reliance on Agent, Other Lenders and Joint Lead Arrangers</u>.

Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent nor any Joint Lead Arranger has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Agent or any Joint Lead Arranger hereafter taken, including any consent to, and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower of any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent or such Joint Lead Arranger to any Lender as to any matter, including whether the Agent or such Joint Lead Arranger has disclosed material information in their (or their respective Related Parties') possession. Each Lender represents to the Agent and each Joint Lead Arranger that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of, appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Each Lender represents and warrants that (a) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility, and (b) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course and is entering into this Agreement as a Lender for the purpose of making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument, and each Lender agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing. Each Lender represents and warrants that it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.08 <u>No Other Duties, Etc.</u>

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Person listed on the cover page hereof or elsewhere herein as a Joint Lead Arranger, a Co-Syndication Agent or a Co-Documentation Agent shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.09 <u>Agent May File Proofs of Claim</u>.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agent under <u>Sections 2.14</u> and <u>11.04</u>) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Agent and, if the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent under <u>Sections 2.14</u> and <u>11.04</u>.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.10 <u>[Reserved]</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;(B) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender's entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Term Loan Commitments and this Agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In addition, unless either <u>clause (A)</u> in <u>Section 10.12(a)</u> is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has not provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in <u>clause (D)</u> in <u>Section 10.12(a)</u>, such Lender further (i) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (ii) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that the Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender's entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Term Loan Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Agent under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.13 <u>Recovery of Erroneous Payments</u>.

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

No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exhaustive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Borrower shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Agent in accordance with <u>Section 9.02</u> for the benefit of all the Lenders; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) [reserved], (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with <u>Section 11.09</u> (subject to the terms of this Agreement), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to the Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, <u>that</u>, if at any time there is no Person acting as Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Agent pursuant to <u>Section 9.02</u>, and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in <u>clauses (c)</u> and <u>(d)</u> of the preceding proviso and subject to the terms of this Agreement, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

Without limiting the provisions of <u>Section 4.01(c)</u>, this <u>Section 11.04(b)</u> shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for the Lead Agents and one counsel for all other Indemnitees (except in each case to the extent that separate counsel would be required as the result of any conflict of interest)) arising from any non-Tax claim.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under <u>subsection (a)</u> or <u>(b)</u> above to be paid by it to any Agent-Related Person or any Related Party of such Agent-Related Person, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent-Related Person or such Related Party such Lender's Ratable Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent-Related Person in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party acting for such Agent-Related Person in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this <u>subsection (c)</u> (i) are subject to the provisions of <u>Section 2.18</u>, and (ii) shall not in any way limit the obligations of the Borrower under this <u>Section 11.04</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;(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages, in the absence of gross negligence and willful misconduct of such Indemnitees as determined in a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, arising from the use by third parties of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The obligations in this <u>Section 11.04</u> shall survive payment of all other Obligations. At the election of any Indemnitee, the Borrower shall defend such Indemnitee using legal counsel satisfactory to such Indemnitee in such Person's sole discretion, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower. All amounts owing under this <u>Section 11.04</u> shall be paid within 30 days after demand (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement from the applicable Indemnitee setting forth such amounts in reasonable detail).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.05 <u>Marshalling; Payments Set Aside</u>.

Neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshall any assets in favor of the Borrower or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that the Borrower makes a payment to the Agent or any Lender, or the Agent or any Lender exercises their right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent upon demand its Ratable Share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Agent. The obligations of the Lenders under <u>clause (b)</u> of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.06 <u>Successors and Assigns</u>.

The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agent and each Lender (other than as permitted pursuant to this Agreement).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.07 <u>Assignments, Participations, Etc.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Assignments by Lenders</u>. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an "<u>Assignee</u>") all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans at the time owing to it); <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) <u>Minimum Amounts</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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) In the case of (1) an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Loans at the time owing to it, or (2) an assignment to an Affiliate of a Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) In any case not described in <u>clause (A)</u> above, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if "Trade Date" is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than (1) $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment of Loans, unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) <u>Proportionate Amounts</u>. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans assigned.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) <u>Required Consents</u>. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by <u>clause (i)(B)</u> above and, in addition:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (it being understood that, without limiting any other factors that may be reasonable, it shall be reasonable for the Borrower to consider the proposed assignee's right to require reimbursement for increased costs)) shall be required unless (1) a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (2) such assignment is to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender or an Approved Fund (except that, in the case of this <u>clause (2)</u>, the consent of the Borrower shall be required if, after giving effect to and as a result of such assignment, the Assignee, collectively with its Affiliates and affiliated Approved Funds, would hold more than 25% of the aggregate outstanding Loans); <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, <u>that</u>, the assignor shall notify the Borrower of any such assignment that does not require the consent of the Borrower prior to or promptly after such assignment (it being understood that failure by such assignor to provide such notification shall not limit the effectiveness of such assignment); 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) the consent of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of any Loan if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) <u>Assignment and Assumption</u>. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, the Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) <u>No Assignment to Certain Persons</u>. No such assignment shall be made (A) to the Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of the Borrower, or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this <u>clause (B)</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;(vi) <u>No Assignment to Natural Persons</u>. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of one or more natural persons).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) <u>Certain Additional Payments</u>. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Ratable Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. Except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender's having been a Defaulting Lender.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to <u>subsection (b)</u> below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of <u>Sections 4.01</u>, <u>4.04</u>, <u>4.05</u> and <u>11.04</u> with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the Assignee. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this <u>subsection (a)</u> shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with <u>subsection (c)</u> below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Register</u>. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Agent's Payment Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Term Loan Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "<u>Register</u>"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Participations</u>. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of one or more natural Persons), a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower, any of the Borrower's Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or any Person that beneficially owns more than 5% of the Borrower's common stock as reflected in Schedule 13D and/or Schedule 13G filed with the SEC and publicly available on the EDGAR filing system or any successor filing system) (each, a "<u>Participant</u>") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans owing to it); <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under <u>Section 11.04(c)</u> without regard to the existence of any participation.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to <u>Section 11.01</u> that directly affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of <u>Sections 4.01</u>, <u>4.04</u> and <u>4.05</u> to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to <u>subsection (a)</u> of this <u>Section 11.07</u> (it being understood that the documentation required under <u>Section 4.01(e)</u> shall be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to <u>subsection (a)</u> of this <u>Section 11.07</u>; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of <u>Sections 4.07</u> and <u>11.24</u> as if it were an assignee under <u>subsection (a)</u> of this <u>Section 11.07</u>, (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under <u>Section 4.01</u> or <u>Section 4.04</u>, with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the applicable participation would have been entitled to receive, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower's prior written consent, and (C) unless the Borrower otherwise consents in writing, a Participant may only make a claim for compensation under <u>Article IV</u> through the applicable selling Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower's expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of <u>Section 4.07</u> with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of <u>Section 11.09</u> as though it were a Lender; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, such Participant agrees to be subject to <u>Section 2.18</u> as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the "<u>Participant Register</u>"); <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Certain Pledges</u>. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Agent or the Borrower, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

&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) <u>[Reserved]</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;(f) <u>Disqualified Institutions</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no assignment or, to the extent the list of Disqualified Institutions has been posted on the Platform for all Lenders, participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the "<u>Trade Date</u>") on which the applicable Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign or participate all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Borrower has consented in writing to such assignment or participation as otherwise contemplated by this <u>Section 11.07</u>, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment or participation). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee or participant that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, such assignee or participant shall not retroactively be considered a Disqualified Institution (but such assignee or participant shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be disqualified from receiving any future assignments and/or participations). Any assignment in violation of this <u>Section 11.07(f)(i)</u> shall not be void, but the other provisions of this <u>Section 11.07(f)</u> shall apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without the Borrower's prior written consent in violation of <u>clause (i)</u> above, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Agent, (A) prepay such Term Loans by paying the lesser of (1) the principal amount thereof, and (2) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such Term Loans, in each case <u>plus</u> accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and/or (B) require such Disqualified Institution to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this <u>Section 11.07</u>), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement and related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations at the lesser of (1) the principal amount thereof, and (2) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case <u>plus</u> accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and other the other Loan Documents; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, (x) the Borrower shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in <u>Section 11.07(a)(iv)</u>, (y) such assignment does not conflict with applicable laws, and (z) in the case of <u>clause (A)</u>, the Borrower shall not use the proceeds from any Loans to prepay Term Loans held by Disqualified Institutions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions (A) will not (1) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrower, the Agent or any other Lender, (2) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Agent, or (3) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Agent or the Lenders, and (B)(1) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter, and (2) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws ("<u>Plan of Reorganization</u>"), each Disqualified Institution party hereto hereby agrees (x) not to vote on such Plan of Reorganization, (y) if such Disqualified Institution does vote on such Plan of Reorganization notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing <u>clause (x)</u>, such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be "designated" pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Plan of Reorganization in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and (z) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing <u>clause (y)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) The Agent shall, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by the Borrower (and any updates thereto from time to time) on the Platform promptly after receipt thereof from the Borrower, including that portion of the Platform that is designated for Public Lenders, and (B) provide the list of Disqualified Institutions to each Lender requesting the same.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.08 <u>Confidentiality</u>.

Each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all information provided to it by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or by the Agent on the Borrower's or such Subsidiary's behalf, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall use any such information other than in connection with or in enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with other business now or hereafter existing or contemplated with the Borrower or any Subsidiary; except to the extent such information (a) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Lender or its Affiliates, or (b) was or becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or a Subsidiary (<u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Borrower known to the Lender); <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, any Lender may disclose such information: (i) at the request or pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Authority to which the Lender is subject or in connection with an examination of such Lender by any such authority; (ii) pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (iii) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law; (iv) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation or proceeding involving the Borrower to which the Agent, any Lender or their respective Affiliates may be party; (v) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (vi) to such Lender's independent auditors, trustees and other professional advisors; (vii) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same or at least as restrictive as those set forth in this <u>Section 11.08</u> (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower), to any Participant or Assignee, actual or potential, or to any direct, indirect, actual or prospective counterparty to any swap, derivative or securitization transaction related to the Obligations (<u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, no such disclosure shall be made by such Lender or any of its Affiliates to any such person that is a Disqualified Institution), it being understood and agreed that the list of Disqualified Institutions may be disclosed to any Participant or Assignee, actual or potential, and any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender in reliance on this <u>clause (vii)</u>; (viii) as to any Lender or its Affiliate, as expressly permitted under the terms of any other document or agreement regarding confidentiality to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is party with such Lender or such Affiliate; (ix) to its Affiliates (<u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, such Affiliate is advised of the confidentiality requirements set forth herein and agrees in writing (for the benefit of the Borrower) to keep such information confidential to the same extent required hereunder (it being understood that each Lender shall be liable for the breach by any of its Affiliates of any such confidentiality requirement)); (x) with the prior written consent of the Borrower; and (xi) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Lender's investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender. Each Lender will, so long as not prohibited from doing so by any Requirement of Law, notify the Borrower of any request for information of the type referred to in <u>clause (ii)</u> or <u>(iii)</u> above prior to disclosing such information so that the Borrower may seek appropriate relief from any applicable court or other Governmental Authority. In addition, after the Borrower has publicly disclosed the existence of this Agreement (which the Borrower agrees to do as and when required by applicable law), the Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and publicly available information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Term Loan Commitments. Nothing in any Loan Document shall prevent disclosure of any confidential information or other matter to the extent that preventing that disclosure would otherwise cause any transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents, or any transaction carried out in connection with any transaction contemplated thereby, to become an arrangement described in Part II A 1 of Annex IV of Directive 2011/16/EU. <u>For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section shall prohibit any Person from voluntarily communicating, disclosing or providing information within the scope of the confidentiality provisions of this Section regarding suspected violations of laws, rules, or regulations to a governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory organization without any notification to any Person.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.09 <u>Set-off</u>.

In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, if an Event of Default exists or the Loans have been accelerated, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being waived by the Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding deposits held in a trustee, fiduciary, agency or similar capacity or otherwise for the benefit of a third party) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender or such Affiliate, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any Loan Document and although such Obligations may be denominated in a different currency, contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or such Affiliate; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, <u>that</u>, in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of <u>Section 2.19</u> and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.10 <u>Notification of Addresses, Lending Offices, Etc.</u>

Each Lender shall notify the Agent in writing of any changes in the address to which notices to such Lender should be directed, of addresses of any Lending Office, of payment instructions in respect of all payments to be made to it hereunder and of such other administrative information as the Agent shall reasonably request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.11 <u>Counterparts; Electronic Execution; Survival of Representations and Warranties</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) Except as provided in <u>Section 5.01</u>, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Agent and when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) This Agreement, any other Loan Document, and any other Communication, including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. The Borrower, the Agent and each Lender agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on such Person to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this <u>clause (b)</u> may include use or acceptance of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into .pdf), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. The Agent, each Lender and the Borrower may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (each, an "<u>Electronic Copy</u>"), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person's business, and destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, none of the Agent or the Borrower is under any obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by such Person pursuant to procedures approved by it; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Agent or the Borrower has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, each party hereto shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Agent and/or any Lender without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Agent, any Lender or the Borrower, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart.

None of the Agent or the Borrower shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with such Person's reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means). The Agent and the Borrower shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any Communication (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution or signed using an Electronic Signature) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof).

The Borrower and each Lender hereby waives (a) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, and (b) any claim against the Agent and each Lender for any liabilities arising solely from the Agent's and/or any Lender's reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Borrower to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature, except to the extent that, in the case of this <u>clause (b)</u>, any such liability is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or such Lender, 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;(c) All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of the making of the Term Loan, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.12 <u>Severability</u>.

The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this <u>Section 11.12</u>, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.13 <u>No Third Parties Benefited</u>.

This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Lead Agents, the Agent-Related Persons, and the Indemnitees, and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.14 <u>Governing Law and Jurisdiction</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) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS (WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF); <u>PROVIDED</u>, <u>THAT</u>, THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF <u>FORUM NON CONVENIENS</u>, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO. THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS EACH WAIVE PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY ILLINOIS LAW.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.15 <u>WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL</u>.

THE BORROWER, THE LENDERS AND THE AGENT EACH WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY AGENT-RELATED PERSON, PARTICIPANT OR ASSIGNEE, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, OR OTHERWISE. THE BORROWER, THE LENDERS AND THE AGENT EACH AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS <u>SECTION 11.15</u> AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.16 <u>[Reserved]</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.17 <u>Entire Agreement</u>.

This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.18 <u>USA PATRIOT Act Notice</u>.

Each Lender that is subject to the PATRIOT Act and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the "<u>PATRIOT Act</u>"), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. The Borrower agrees to, promptly following a request by the Agent or any Lender, provide all such other documentation and information that the Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable "know your customer" and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.19 <u>[Reserved]</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.20 <u>No Fiduciary or Implied Duties</u>.

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates' understanding, that: (a)(i) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Agent and any Affiliate thereof, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders are arm's-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agent and, as applicable, its Affiliates (including PNC Capital Markets) and the Lenders and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this <u>Section 11.20</u>, the "<u>Lenders</u>"), on the other hand, (ii) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (iii) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (b)(i) the Agent and its Affiliates (including PNC Capital Markets) and each Lender each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person, and (ii) neither the Agent, any of its Affiliates (including PNC Capital Markets) nor any Lender has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (c) the Agent and its Affiliates (including PNC Capital Markets) and the Lenders may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and neither the Agent, any of its Affiliates (including PNC Capital Markets) nor any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Agent, any of its Affiliates (including PNC Capital Markets) or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transactions contemplated hereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.21 <u>[Reserved]</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.22 <u>[Reserved].</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.23 <u>Negative Covenant Construction</u>.

For purposes of compliance with <u>Section 8.01</u> and <u>Section 8.05</u>, if the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (as applicable) are in compliance with a negative covenant set forth in any such Section on the date of consummation of an applicable transaction (or the occurrence of an applicable event) in reliance on an exception thereto that is based on a percentage of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (as applicable) shall not thereafter be deemed not to be in compliance with such negative covenant due to a diminution in value of such assets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.24 <u>Replacement of Lenders</u>.

If the Borrower is entitled to replace or remove a Lender pursuant to the provisions of <u>Section 4.07</u>, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, or if any Lender assigns or participates all or any portion of its Loans in violation of <u>Section 11.07</u> (and solely to the extent such assignment or participation made in violation of <u>Section 11.07</u> is made without the written consent of the Borrower), then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, <u>Section 11.07</u>), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to <u>Sections 4.01</u> and <u>4.04</u>) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) in the case of an assignment, the Borrower shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in <u>Section 11.07</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;(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under <u>Section 4.05</u>) from (i) in the case of an assignment, the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), or (ii) in the case of a termination, the Borrower; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Requirements of Law.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the failure of any Lender being replaced pursuant to this <u>Section 11.24</u> to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption shall not impair the validity of the removal of such Lender and the mandatory assignment of such Lender's outstanding Loans pursuant to this <u>Section 11.24</u> shall nevertheless be effective without the execution by such Lender of an Assignment and Assumption.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.25 <u>[Reserved]</u>.

Solely to the extent any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution is a party to this Agreement and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable, (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability, (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any applicable Resolution Authority. Each Lender confirms, as of the Effective Date (or, if later, the date upon which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement) that, unless notified in writing by such Lender to the Borrower and the Agent, such Lender is not an Affected Financial Institution. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent if for any reason, at any time, it becomes an Affected Financial Institution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.28 <u>Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs</u>.

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