On August 28, 2025, Lockheed Martin Corporation (the "Company") entered into Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement (the "Amendment"), which amends the Company's existing $3.0 billion Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of August 24, 2022, among the Company, as borrower, the lenders listed therein (the "Lenders"), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as syndication agent, Citibank, N.A., Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, Mizuho Bank, Ltd. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as documentation agents, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (as previously amended, the "Credit Agreement"). The Amendment, among other things, extends the maturity date of the Credit Agreement by one year from August 24, 2029 to August 24, 2030 and removes the 10 basis point credit spread adjustment to "Term SOFR" borrowings. Except as amended by the Amendment, the terms of the Credit Agreement remain in full force and effect.

The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

In the ordinary course of their respective businesses, one or more of the Lenders, or their affiliates, have or may have various relationships with the Company and the Company's subsidiaries involving the provision of a variety of financial services, including cash management, commercial banking, investment banking, trust or agency, foreign exchange, advisory or other financial services, for which they received, or will receive, customary fees and expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Not later than (x) 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the second Business Day prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a Term SOFR Auction, or (y) 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a Rate Auction (or, in either case, such other time or date as the Company and the Administrative Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified to the Lenders not later than the date of the Competitive Bid Quote Request for the first Term SOFR Auction or Rate Auction for which such change is to be effective), the Company shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephonic notice of its acceptance or non-acceptance of the offers so notified to it pursuant to subsection (A). A telephonic notice hereunder may only be provided by a Responsible Officer or a Designated Representative. In the case of acceptance, such telephonic notice shall be promptly followed by a written notice executed by a Responsible Officer or a Designated Representative (a "**Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing**"), substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit E</u> hereto, or such other form as may be approved by the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer or a Designated Representative, specifying the aggregate principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted. The Company may accept any Competitive Bid Quote in whole or in part; *provided* that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the aggregate principal amount of each borrowing of Competitive Bid Loans may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Competitive Bid Quote Request,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the principal amount of each borrowing of Competitive Bid Loans must be $10,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) acceptance of offers may only be made on the basis of ascending Competitive Bid Margins or Competitive Bid Rates, as the case may be, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) the Company may not accept any offer that is described in subsection (d)(iii) or that otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) If offers are made by two or more Lenders with the same Competitive Bid Margins or Competitive Bid Rates, as the case may be, for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which such offers are accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such Lenders as nearly as possible (in multiples of $1,000,000, as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate) in proportion to the aggregate principal amounts of such offers. Determinations by the Administrative Agent of the amounts of Competitive Bid Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

------

Section 2.04 *. Notice to Lenders; Funding of Loans.* (a) Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of each such borrowing, specifying the relevant information including such Lender's portion of such borrowing (if any) and the date on which funds are to be made available. If a Notice of Borrowing is revoked by the Company after receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, the Company shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.14.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) (or, in the case of Base Rate Loans, 3:00 p.m. (New York time)) on the date specified by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.04(a), each Lender participating therein shall make available its share of such borrowing, in Dollars, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.02(a). Unless (i) the Administrative Agent has not received a written Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(i) or 2.03f) or (ii) the Administrative Agent determines that any applicable condition set forth in Article 3 has not been satisfied, the amounts so received by the Administrative Agent shall be made available immediately upon receipt to the Company by wire transfer in Dollars, in immediately available funds, to an account of the Company maintained at a financial institution located in the United States designated by the Company to the Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender (x) not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of the borrowing, in the case of Base Rate Loans and (y) at least one Business Day prior to the date of the borrowing, in the case of any other Loans, that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of the borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of the borrowing in accordance with subsection (b)(i) of this Section 2.04(a) and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Company on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such share available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Company severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Company until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender's Loan for purposes of this Agreement, and the Company shall not be required to repay such amount pursuant to this subsection (c).

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The failure of any Lender to make a Loan required to be made by it as part of any borrowing hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such borrowing, 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 date of the borrowing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) If any Lender (x) shall fail to make any Loan (the "**Failed Loan**") which such Lender is otherwise obligated hereunder to make to the Company on the date of borrowing thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received notice from the Company or such Lender that any condition precedent to the making of the Failed Loan has not been satisfied or (y) is otherwise a Defaulting Lender, then, until such Lender shall have made or be deemed to have made (pursuant to the third to last sentence of this subsection (i)) the Failed Loan in full or the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Company or such Lender that any condition precedent to the Failed Loan was not satisfied at the time the Failed Loan was to have been made or is no longer a Defaulting Lender, as applicable, whenever the Administrative Agent shall receive any amount from the Company for the account of such Lender, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.17(c), (i) the amount so received will, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been paid to the Lender in satisfaction of the obligation for which paid, without actual disbursement of such amount to the Lender, (ii) the Lender will be deemed to have made the same amount available to the Administrative Agent for disbursement as a Loan to the Company up to the amount of any Failed Loan and (iii) the Administrative Agent will, accordingly, disburse such amount (up to the amount of such Failed Loan) to the Company or, if the Administrative Agent has previously made such amount available to the Company on behalf of such Lender pursuant to the provisions hereof, reimburse itself (up to the amount of the amount made available to the Company); *provided, however*, that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to disburse any such amount to the Company or otherwise apply it or deem it applied as provided herein unless the Administrative Agent shall have determined in its sole discretion that to so disburse such amount will not violate any law, rule, regulation or requirement applicable to the Administrative Agent. Upon any such disbursement by the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Company in satisfaction, to the extent thereof, of such Lender's obligation to make the Failed Loan. In the event any amounts remain after application pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.04(e)(i), such amounts shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.17(c) hereto. If and during the time that a Failed Loan shall exist, the Company shall have the right to terminate in full the Commitment of the Lender causing such Failed Loan as provided in Section 9.01(a).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) With respect to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for the account of the Lenders hereunder as to which the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the "**Rescindable Amount**"): (1) the Company has not in fact made such payment; (2) the

------

Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by the Company (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender, in Dollars, in immediately available funds, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

Section 2.05 *. Conversion/Continuation of Loans.* (a) With respect to Committed Loans, the Company shall have the option to (i) convert all or any part of (A) outstanding Base Rate Loans equal to $10,000,000 and multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount to Term SOFR Loans and (B) outstanding Term SOFR Loans equal to $10,000,000 and multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount to Base Rate Loans, or (ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to outstanding Term SOFR Loans, to continue all or any portion of such Loans equal to $10,000,000 and multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount as Term SOFR Loans. The Interest Period of any Base Rate Loan or Term SOFR Loan converted to a Fixed Rate Loan pursuant to clause (a) above shall commence on the date of such conversion. The succeeding Interest Period of any Fixed Rate Loan continued pursuant to clause (a) above shall commence on the last day of the Interest Period of the Loan so continued. Term SOFR Loans may only be converted on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto or on the date required pursuant to Section 8.02(a).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Company shall deliver a written or telephonic notice of such continuation or conversion (a "**Notice of Conversion/Continuation**") to the Administrative Agent no later than (y) 1:00 p.m. (New York time) at least two Business Days in advance of the date of the proposed conversion to, or continuation of, a Term SOFR Loan, and (z) 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the day of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan. A written Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be executed by a Responsible Officer or a Designated Representative, shall be in substantially the form attached as <u>Exhibit</u> <u>F</u>, or such other form as may be approved by the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer or a Designated Representative, and shall specify: (i) the proposed conversion/continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the aggregate amount of the Loans being converted/continued, (iii) an election between the Base Rate and the Term SOFR and (iv) in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of Term SOFR Loans, the requested Interest Period. A telephonic Notice of Conversion/Continuation may only be provided by a Responsible Officer or a Designated Representative, which notice must be promptly followed by a written Notice of Conversion/Continuation executed as set forth above. Upon receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the

------

Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of the contents thereof and such Lender's pro rata share of all conversions and continuations requested therein. If no timely Notice of Conversion/Continuation is delivered by the Company as to any Term SOFR Loan and such Loan is not repaid by the Company at the end of the applicable Interest Period, such Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan.

Section 2.06 *. Loan Accounts and Notes.* (a) Except as provided in subsection (b) below, the Loans of each Lender shall be evidenced by a loan account in the Company's name maintained by such Lender and the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. Such loan account maintained by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Loan made by such Lender to the Company, the interest accrued and payable thereon and all interest and principal payments made thereon. Any failure so to record or any error in doing so shall in no way limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Company hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Upon written request made to the Syndication Agent by a Lender, the Company shall deliver to the Syndication Agent for such Lender a single Committed Note and a single Competitive Bid Note, if applicable, evidencing the Committed Loans and the Competitive Bid Loans, respectively, of such requesting Lender, payable to the order of each such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office. Each such Note shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit K-1 or K-2 hereto, as appropriate. Each reference in this Agreement to the "Note" or "Notes" of such Lender shall be deemed to refer to and include any or all of such Notes, as the context may require.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Upon receipt from the Company of the requesting Lender's Notes, the Syndication Agent shall forward such Notes to such Lender. Such Lender shall record the date and amount of each Loan made by it and the date and amount of each payment of principal made by the Company with respect thereto, and may, if such Lender so elects in connection with any transfer or enforcement of its Notes, endorse on the schedule forming a part thereof appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to each such Loan then outstanding; provided that the failure of any Lender that has requested a Note or Notes to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Company hereunder or under the Note(s). Each Lender that receives a Note or Notes from the Company is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Company to so endorse its Note(s) and to attach to and make a part of its Note(s) a continuation of any such schedule as and when required.

Section 2.07 *. Payment of Principal.* (a) Each Committed Loan shall fall due and be paid as to principal (i) on the Commitment Termination Date and (ii) on any date that the aggregate Total Usage of all Lenders then outstanding exceeds Total Commitments, but ratably only to the extent of such excess.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each Competitive Bid Loan shall fall due and be paid as to principal on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan.

Section 2.08 *. Interest.* Payment of interest on the Loans shall be in accordance with the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Interest shall, subject to any decrease or increase pursuant to clause (d) of this Section 2.08, accrue (y) on each Base Rate Loan for each day at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for such day and (z) on each Term SOFR Loan for each day during each period commencing on the first day of an Interest Period therefor to but excluding the last day of such Interest Period, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Term SOFR for such Interest Period plus the Term SOFR Margin for such day, all as selected and specified in a notice to the Administrative Agent furnished pursuant to Section 2.02(i) or Section 2.05(a); *provided* that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) each selection by the Company as between the Base Rate and the Term SOFR shall be made, as among the Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments, except as variation from such pro-rationing may be required by virtue of suspension as to a particular Lender of its Commitment to make Term SOFR Loans, as contemplated by Section 8.02(a); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.08 there may be outstanding hereunder at the same time Committed Loans (or portions thereof) which are Base Rate Loans and other Committed Loans (or portions thereof) which are Term SOFR Loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If requested to do so by the Company, through the Administrative Agent, at least six Business Days before the beginning of any Interest Period applicable to a SOFR Loan, each Lender will advise the Company, through the Administrative Agent, before 10:00 a.m. (New York time) four Business Days preceding the beginning of such Interest Period, as to whether such Lender consents to the selection by the Company of any duration that is not one, three or six months for such Interest Period. If, but only if, all of the Lenders so consent, the Company shall be entitled to select a duration that is not one, three or six months for such Interest Period pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.05.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Interest accrued on a Base Rate Loan shall be paid on each Quarterly Date and on the Commitment Termination Date (or earlier date of termination of the Commitments in their entirety). Interest accrued on a Term SOFR Loan shall be paid (i) on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, (ii) in the case of a Term SOFR Loan with an Interest Period of more than three months, at intervals of three months from the first day of such Interest Period and (iii) on the date of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.09(a) or conversion pursuant to Section 8.02(a) (but only to the extent accrued with respect to the amount being prepaid or converted). Interest accrued on a Competitive Bid Loan shall be paid on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, the date of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.09(a) or conversion pursuant to Section 8.02(a) or as provided in the Competitive Bid Quote Request for such Loan.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Term SOFR Margin shall be determined by reference to the senior unsecured long-term debt ratings of the Company by S&P and Moody's, as specified on <u>Schedule II</u> hereto. Any change in the Term SOFR Margin shall become effective on the day on which such a Rating Agency shall publicly announce a change in such rating.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Subject to Section 8.02(a), each Competitive Bid Term SOFR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of Term SOFR for such Interest Period (determined as if the Competitive Bid Term SOFR Loan were a Term SOFR Loan) plus (or minus) the Competitive Bid Margin quoted by the Lender making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.03(a). Each Competitive Bid Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the Competitive Bid Rate quoted by the Lender making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.03(a).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Interest on past-due principal and interest shall accrue at the Post-Default Rate during the period from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date that such amount is paid and shall be payable on demand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The Administrative Agent shall determine, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, each Base Rate and Term SOFR applicable to the Loans hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Company and the Lenders of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Interest on Fixed Rate Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed, calculated as to each Interest Period (or period ending on a repayment date or date of conversion to a Term SOFR Loan or prepayment date selected pursuant to Section 2.09(a) or required pursuant to Section 8.02(a)) from and including the first day thereof to but excluding the last day thereof. Interest on Base Rate Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and paid for the actual number of days elapsed, calculated from and including the date of such Base Rate Loan to but excluding the date of repayment or conversion of such Loan to a Fixed Rate Loan.

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

------

Section 2.09 *. Optional Prepayments.* (a) The Company may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:30 a.m. (New York time) on the date of such prepayment, prepay Base Rate Loans, or any Competitive Bid Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate pursuant to Section 8.02(a), in each case without penalty or premium, in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating not less than $10,000,000.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Subject to Section 2.14, the Company may, upon at least two Business Days' notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay Term SOFR Loans, in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating not less than $10,000,000, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Except as provided in subsection (a) above, the Company may not prepay all or any portion of the principal amount of any Competitive Bid Loan prior to the maturity thereof; *provided* that the Company may prepay all or any portion of the principal amount of any Competitive Bid Loan if such prepayment is consented to by the applicable Lenders in respect of such Competitive Bid Loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment, the Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt written notice of the contents thereof and the amount of such Lender's Loans being prepaid pursuant thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.09 may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities (including, without limitation, credit facilities evidenced by a credit agreement or an indenture) or the consummation of any other transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by and upon a written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

Section 2.10 *. General Provisions As To Payments.* (a) All payments by the Company of principal, interest, the Facility Fee and other charges (subject to Section 9.04(d)) under this Agreement shall be made not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date when due, in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.02(a). If a Fed-Wire reference or tracer number for any such payment has been received, from the Company or otherwise, by the Administrative Agent by that time the Company will not be penalized for a payment received after 2:00 p.m. (New York time). The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its ratable share of each such payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the

------

Lenders. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Base Rate Loans, the Competitive Bid Rate Loans or of the Facility Fee or any other amounts payable to the Lenders hereunder shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Term SOFR Loans or the Competitive Bid Term SOFR Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless such Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Company prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Company will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Company has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the Company shall not have so made such payment, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

Section 2.11 *. Fees.* (a) Commencing on the Effective Date, the Company agrees to pay to the Lenders a facility fee (the "**Facility Fee**") on the daily actual aggregate amount of the Facility Fee Base at a rate per annum determined by reference to the senior unsecured long-term debt ratings of the Company by S&P and Moody's, as specified on <u>Schedule II</u> hereto. Any change in the Facility Fee shall become effective on the day on which such a Rating Agency publicly announces a change in such rating. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Facility Fee in respect of the Facility Fee Base, as defined below, of any Lender shall cease to accrue, and accrued but unpaid Facility Fee shall be payable, on the date (if any) on which such Lender's Facility Fee Base is reduced to zero pursuant hereto. For this purpose the "**Facility Fee Base**" is the aggregate amount of the Credit Exposures; *provided* that following termination of the Commitments, the Facility Fee Base at any date shall not include any principal amounts bearing interest at such date at the Post-Default Rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Facility Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) for the actual number of days elapsed. Facility Fees shall be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Date during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date the Facility Fee Base is reduced to zero and on the date the Facility Fee Base is reduced to zero and shall be paid by the Company to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders.

------

Section 2.12 *. Reduction or Termination of Commitments.* The Company shall have the right at any time or from time to time, upon not less than three Business Days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Commitments of the Lenders, in whole or in part, *provided* that each partial termination shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $25,000,000 and a multiple of $5,000,000, and shall reduce the Commitments of the applicable Lenders proportionately (the Commitment Schedule shall be deemed to be amended to reflect the reduction in such Commitments); and *provided further* that after giving effect to any such termination or reduction and any prepayment or repayment of the Loans on or before the effective date thereof, the Total Usage of each Lender shall not exceed its Commitment as so reduced (or shall be zero in the case of the termination of the Commitments). The Administrative Agent shall give prompt written notice to each Lender of each such reduction or termination. The Commitment of a Lender may also be terminated under the provisions of Section 9.01(a). Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.12 may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities (including, without limitation, credit facilities evidenced by a credit agreement or an indenture) or the consummation of any other transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by and upon a written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

Section 2.13 *. Lending Offices.* Each Loan shall be made and maintained by the Applicable Lending Office of each respective Lender. Subject to the provisions of Sections 8.01a), 8.02a) and 9.08d)i), each Lender may transfer any Loan to or designate a different office of itself or any subsidiary or affiliate and such office shall thereupon become an Applicable Lending Office.

Section 2.14 *. Reimbursement.* The Company shall reimburse each Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including the cost of any liquidation and redeployment of funds borrowed by such Lender (but excluding loss of margin for the period after any payment, conversion or failure to borrow, convert or continue as described herein), in the event that the Company makes any payment of principal with respect to, or converts, any Fixed Rate Loan on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (pursuant to Section 2.09(a) or otherwise) or any borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment notified to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.02(i), 2.03a), 2.05a) or 2.09b) (or any revocation thereof pursuant to Section 2.09(e)) relative to Fixed Rate Loans shall not be consummated because of the Company's failure to satisfy one or more of the applicable conditions precedent in Article 3 or because the Company fails to borrow, convert, continue or prepay at the specified time. Any Lender requesting reimbursement from the Company for such costs and expenses pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall provide the Company through the Administrative Agent with the calculation of the amount of such costs and expenses in reasonable detail.

------

Section 2.15 *. Extension Option.* (a) So long as at the time no Default shall exist, the Commitment Termination Date may be extended in the manner set forth in this (a) for a period of one year from the Commitment Termination Date then in effect; *provided* that the Commitment Termination Date may only be so extended once per year. If the Company wishes to request an extension of the Commitment Termination Date, the Company shall give written notice to that effect to the Administrative Agent not less six months prior to the Commitment Termination Date then in effect, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each of the Lenders of such request. Each Lender will use its best efforts to respond to such request, whether affirmatively or negatively, as it may elect in its sole discretion, on or prior to a deadline to be determined by Company and the Administrative Agent (not to be less than fourteen days from the date such notice is provided by the Administrative Agent). If any Lender shall not have responded affirmatively on or prior to such deadline, such Lender shall be deemed to have rejected the Company's proposal to extend such Lender's Commitment and only the Commitments of those Lenders which have responded affirmatively shall be extended, subject to receipt by the Administrative Agent of counterparts of an Extension Agreement in substantially the form of <u>Exhibit J</u> hereto (the "**Extension Agreement**") duly completed and signed by the Company, the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders that have responded affirmatively. No extension of the Commitments pursuant to this (a) shall be legally binding on any party hereto unless and until such Extension Agreement is so executed and delivered by the Required Lenders (the effectiveness date of any such Extension Agreement, the "**Extension Agreement Effective Date**"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the remaining maturity of the Commitments, after giving effect to any extension pursuant to this Section 2.15, will in no event be extended beyond the date that is five years after the applicable Extension Agreement Effective Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If any Lender rejects, or is deemed to have rejected, the Company's proposal to extend such Lender's Commitment, (A) subject to (B) below, this Agreement shall terminate on the Commitment Termination Date then in effect with respect to such Lender, and the Company shall pay to such Lender on such Commitment Termination Date any amounts due and payable to such Lender on such date without regard to any pro rata prepayment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement and (B) the Company may, if it so elects, require any Lender that does not elect to extend its Commitment to assign at par its Commitment in its entirety to one or more Eligible Assignees pursuant to Section 9.01(b) which Eligible Assignees will agree to the extension of the Commitment Termination Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the effectiveness of each extension of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.15(a).

Section 2.16 *. Increased Commitments; Additional Lenders.* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) From time to time the Company may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to the Lenders), increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments by an amount up to $500,000,000 in the aggregate for all increases made pursuant to this Section 2.16 (the amount of any such increase, the "**Increased Commitments**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) To effect such an increase, the Company may designate one or more of (x) the existing Lenders or (y) other financial institutions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, in each case, which at the time agree to (i) in the case of any such lender that is an existing Lender, increase its Commitment (an "**Increasing Lender**") and (ii) in the case of any other such lender (an "**Additional Lender**"), become a party to this Agreement with a Commitment of not less than $10,000,000; it being understood that no existing Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Any increase in the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in the first sentence of Section 3.02(a).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) An increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall become effective upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent signed by the Company, by each Additional Lender and by each other Lender whose Commitment is to be increased, setting forth the new Commitments of such Lenders and setting forth the agreement of each Additional Lender to become a party to this Agreement and to be bound by all the terms and provisions hereof and (ii) such evidence of appropriate corporate authorization on the part of the Company with respect to the Increased Commitments and such opinions of counsel for the Company with respect to the Increased Commitments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) On the effective date of any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.16, (i) each Additional Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate outstanding Loans and (ii) any Increasing Lender whose Commitment has been increased shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the increase in its pro rata share of the aggregate outstanding Committed Loans, in each case such payments shall be for the account of each other Lender. Upon receipt of such amount by the Administrative Agent, (A) each other Lender shall be deemed to have ratably assigned that portion of its outstanding Committed Loans that is being reduced to the Additional Lenders and the Increasing Lenders in accordance with such Lender's new Commitment or the increased portion thereof as applicable and (B) the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each other Lender its ratable share of the amounts received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this paragraph.

------

Section 2.17 *. Defaulting Lenders.* Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Facility Fee shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender under Section 2.11(a);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.07(i));

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 6 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.06), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: *first*, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; *second*, as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists) to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender's potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; *third*, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any 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; *fourth*, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Company as a result of any 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 *fifth*, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; *provided* that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.01 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 that 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 Section 2.17 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Company each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Competitive Bid Rate Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Percentage, and such Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender; *provided*, *however*, that 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 that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.18. *Inability to Determine Rates*. 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan or a conversion of Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans or a continuation of any of such Loans, as applicable, the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) no Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with <u>Section</u> <u>2.18(b),</u> and the circumstances under clause (i) of <u>Section</u> <u>2.18(b)</u> or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred, or (B) 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, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) 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 Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Required Lenders described in clause (ii) of this <u>Section</u> <u>2.18(a)</u>, until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Company may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, or conversion to, or continuation of Term SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding Term SOFR Loans shall be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans immediately at the end of their respective applicable Interest Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Replacement of Term SOFR or Successor Rate</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Company or Required Lenders notify the Administrative 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;(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR, including, without limitation, because the Term SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) CME or any successor administrator of the Term SOFR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative 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 will no longer be made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of U.S. dollar denominated syndicated loans, or will otherwise cease, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide such 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 available permanently or indefinitely, the "**Scheduled Unavailability Date**");

then, on a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent (any such date, the "**Term SOFR Replacement Date**"), 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 clause (ii) above, no later than the Scheduled Unavailability Date, Term SOFR will be replaced hereunder with Daily Simple SOFR for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by the Administrative Agent without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement (the "**Successor Rate**"). If the Successor Rate is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) if the Administrative Agent determines that Daily Simple SOFR is not available on or prior to the Term SOFR Replacement Date, or (ii) if the events or circumstances of the type described in <u>Section</u> <u>2.18(b)(i)</u> or <u>(ii)</u> have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then in each case, the Administrative Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing Term SOFR or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this <u>Section</u> <u>2.18</u> at the end of any Interest Period, relevant Interest Payment Date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such alternative benchmark. and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such benchmark, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an

------

information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments, shall constitute a "<u>Successor Rate</u>". Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.

The Administrative 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> that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative 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.

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

Insurance.* The Company will maintain, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to maintain, insurance from responsible companies in such amounts and against such risks as is customarily carried by owners of similar businesses and properties in the same general areas in which the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary operates or, to the extent customary, self-insurance.

------

Section 5.04 *. Maintenance of Existence.* The Company will preserve and maintain its corporate existence and all of its rights, privileges and franchises necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of its business, and conduct its business in an orderly, efficient and regular manner. The Company will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to (i) preserve and maintain its corporate existence and all of its rights, privileges and franchises necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of business, and (ii) conduct its business in an orderly, efficient and regular manner, except to the extent failure to comply with the covenants in each of clause (i) and (ii) would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the termination of the business or corporate existence of any Subsidiary which in the judgment of the Company is no longer necessary or desirable, a merger or consolidation of a Subsidiary into or with the Company (if the Company is the surviving corporation) or another Subsidiary or any merger, consolidation or transfer of assets permitted by Section 5.07(a), as long as immediately after giving effect to any such transaction, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

Section 5.05 *. Maintenance of Properties.* Except to the extent noncompliance would not be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the Company will keep, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to keep, all of its properties necessary, in the judgment of the Company, in its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear and casualty and condemnation events excepted. Nothing in this Section 5.05 shall prevent the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation or maintenance, or both the operation and maintenance, of any properties of the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company (or such Restricted Subsidiary), desirable in the conduct of its business.

Section 5.06 *. Compliance with Laws.* The Company will comply, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to comply, with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and orders of any Governmental Authority, a breach of which would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, except where contested in good faith and by proper proceedings.

Section 5.07 *. Mergers, Consolidations and Sales of Assets.* (a) The Company shall not consolidate with or merge into any other Person or convey or transfer its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Company or another solvent corporation that is incorporated under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia is the surviving corporation of any such consolidation or merger or is the Person that acquires by conveyance or transfer the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) if a Person other than the Company is the surviving corporation as described in subsection (i) above or is the Person that acquires the property and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety, it shall expressly assume the performance of every covenant of this Agreement and of the Notes on the part of the Company, as the case may be, to be performed or observed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) if the Company is not the surviving corporation, the Company has delivered (i) to the Syndication Agent an Officer's Certificate and a legal opinion of its General Counsel, Associate General Counsel or Assistant General Counsel, upon the express instruction of the Company for the benefit of the Syndication Agent and the Lenders, each stating that such transaction complies with this Section and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with and (ii) such information as each Lender or the Administrative Agent reasonably requests in order to perform its "know your customer" due diligence with respect to the surviving corporation, including a Beneficial Ownership Certification if the surviving corporation qualifies as a "legal entity customer" under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Upon any consolidation by the Company with, or merger by the Company into, any corporation described in Section 5.07(a)(i) or any conveyance or transfer of the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety to any corporation described in Section 5.07(a)(i), such corporation into which the Company is merged or consolidated or to which such conveyance or transfer is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of the Company, under this Agreement with the same effect as if such corporation had been named as the Company, herein, and thereafter, in the case of a transfer or conveyance permitted by Section 5.07(a), the Company, shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Agreement and the Notes.

Section 5.08 *. Limitation on Liens.* The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create or suffer to exist any Lien upon any of its assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, securing any Debt; *provided*, *however*, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Liens on any assets owned by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary existing at the date of this Agreement;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Liens on assets of a corporation or other entity existing at the time such corporation or other entity is merged into or consolidated with the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (to the extent applicable, in accordance with Section 5.07(a)) or at the time of a purchase, lease or other acquisition of the assets of a corporation or other entity as an entirety or substantially as an entirety by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, whether or not any indebtedness secured by such Liens is assumed by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Liens on assets of a corporation or other entity existing at the time such corporation or other entity becomes a Restricted Subsidiary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Liens securing Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary owing to the Company or to another Restricted Subsidiary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) materialmen's, suppliers', tax or other similar Liens arising in the ordinary course of business securing obligations which are not overdue or are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings; and Liens arising by operation of law in favor of any lender to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business constituting a banker's lien or right of offset in moneys of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary deposited with such lender in the ordinary course of business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Liens on assets existing at the time of acquisition of such assets by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, or Liens to secure the payment of all or any part of the purchase price of assets upon the acquisition of such assets by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or to secure any Debt incurred or guaranteed by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary prior to, at the time of, or within one year after the later of the acquisition, completion of construction (including any improvements on an existing asset) or commencement of full operation of such asset, which Debt is incurred or guaranteed for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price thereof or construction or improvements thereon, and which Debt may be in the form of obligations incurred in connection with industrial revenue bonds or similar financings and letters of credit issued in connection therewith; *provided*, *however*, that in the case of any such acquisition, construction or improvement the Lien shall not apply to any asset theretofore owned by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, other than, in the case of any such construction or improvement, any theretofore unimproved real property on which the property so constructed or the improvement made is located;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Liens in favor of any customer (including any Governmental Authority) to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments or performance pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure any related indebtedness or to secure Debt guaranteed by a Governmental Authority;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Liens on cash or certificates of deposit or other bank obligations in an amount substantially equal in value (at the time such Liens are created) to, and securing, indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount not in excess of $350,000,000 (or the equivalent amount in a different currency);

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Liens equally and ratably securing the Loans and such Debt; *provided* that the Required Lenders may, in their sole discretion, refuse to take any Lien on any asset (which refusal will not limit the Company's or any Restricted Subsidiary's ability to incur a Lien otherwise permitted by this Section 5.08(i)); such Lien may equally and ratably secure the Loans and any other obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than an obligation that is subordinated to the Loans;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements) in whole or in part of any Lien referred to in the foregoing; *provided, however*, that the principal amount of Debt secured thereby shall not exceed the principal amount of Debt so secured at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement plus the amounts of any premiums, penalties, fees and expenses required to be paid in connection therewith, and that such extension, renewal or replacement shall be limited to all or part of the asset which secured the Lien so extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements and construction on such asset); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) Liens securing Debt in an aggregate amount that, together with all other Debt of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries that is secured by Liens not otherwise permitted under subsections (a) through (j) above (if originally issued, assumed or guaranteed at such time), does not at the time exceed the greater of 15% of Stockholders' Equity as of the end of the fiscal quarter preceding the date of determination or $1,500,000,000. For purpose of this Section 5.08(k), the term "Consolidated Subsidiaries" in the definition of "Stockholders' Equity" includes any Exempt Subsidiaries.

This covenant shall not apply to any "margin stock" within the meaning of Regulation U in excess of 25% in value of the assets covered by this covenant. For the avoidance of doubt, the creation of a security interest arising solely as a result of, or the filing of UCC financing statements in connection with, any sale by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of accounts receivable not prohibited by Section 5.07(a) shall not constitute a Lien prohibited by this covenant.

Section 5.09 *. [Reserved]*.

Section 5.10 *. Use of Facility.* (a) The Company will use the proceeds of the Loans for any lawful corporate purposes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Company and its Subsidiaries will not use, and the Company shall use its best efforts to ensure that the directors, officers, employees, and agents of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not use, directly or, to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer of the Company, indirectly, the proceeds of any Loans (A) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or

------

authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws or (B) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country except to the extent licensed or otherwise authorized under U.S. law.

ARTICLE 7

THE AGENTS

Section 7.01 *. Appointment and Authorization.* Each Lender appoints and authorizes each Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the Notes as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; *provided, however*, that the Agents shall not commence any legal action or proceeding before a court of law on behalf of any Lender without such Lender's prior consent.

Section 7.02 *. Agents and Affiliates.* Each of Bank of America, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and their respective affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company as if it were not an Agent hereunder. With respect to its Commitment and Loans made by it, each of Bank of America, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (and any of their respective successors acting as an Agent), in its capacity as a Lender hereunder, shall have the same rights and obligations hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise (or be subject to) the same as though it were not an Agent. The term "**Lender**" or "**Lenders**" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include each of Bank of America, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (and any successor acting as an Agent) in its capacity as a Lender.

------

Section 7.03 *. Action by Agents.* The obligations of the Agents hereunder are only those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents shall not be required to take any action with respect to any Default, except as expressly provided in Article 6.

Section 7.04 *. Consultation with Experts.* Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 7.05 *. Liability of Agents.* (a) No Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as required by the terms of this Agreement) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made by any Person in connection with this Agreement or any borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Company; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article 3, except receipt of items required to be delivered to such Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness (except for its own due execution and delivery) or genuineness of this Agreement, the Notes or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith. No Agent shall incur any liability by acting in reasonable reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a bank wire, facsimile transmission or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties.

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

Section 7.06 *. Indemnification.* Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Commitment, indemnify each Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company) against any cost, expense (including counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct) that such Agent may suffer or incur in connection with this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by such Agent hereunder.

------

Section 7.07 *. Credit Decision.* Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon either Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon either Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement.

Section 7.08 *. Successor Agents.* An Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Company shall, with the consent of the Required Lenders, have the right to appoint a successor Agent (which may be the other institution then acting as Agent). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 60 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of resignation (the "**Resignation Effective Date**"), the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent (which may be the other institution then acting as Agent), which shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 (an "**Eligible Successor Agent**"); *provided* that if the retiring 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.

If the Person serving as an Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Company and such Person, remove such Person as Agent, and with the consent of the Company, appoint a successor Agent that is an Eligible Successor Agent. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the "**Removal Effective Date**"), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (i) the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder,(ii) all payments and communications provided to be made by, to or through such retiring or removed Agent, including under Section 5.01 hereof, shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, and (iii) all determinations provided to be made by, to or through such retiring or removed Agent shall instead be made by the Required Lenders, in each case, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for in this

------

Section. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring or removed Agent, and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder as Agent (if not already discharged therefrom as provided in this Section). After any retiring or removed Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as an Agent, the provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent.

Section 7.09 *. Agents' Fees.* The Company shall pay to each Agent for its own account fees in the amounts and at the times previously agreed upon between the Company and each Agent.

Section 7.10 *. Documentation Agents.* Nothing in this Agreement shall impose upon the Documentation Agents, in such capacity, any duty or obligation whatsoever.

ARTICLE 8

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

Section 8.01 *. Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy.* (a) If after the date hereof, in the case of any Committed Loan, or the date of the related Competitive Bid Quote, in the case of any Competitive Bid Loan, a Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, including pursuant to Regulation D) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or shall impose on any Lender any other condition affecting such Lender's Fixed Rate Loans, or its Notes, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any such Fixed Rate Loans, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or under its Note, by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, within 15 days after written demand therefor made through the Administrative Agent, in the form of the certificate referred to in Section 8.01(c), the Company shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction; *provided* that the Company shall not be required to pay any such compensation with respect to any period prior to the 30th day before the date of any such demand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Without limiting the effect of Section 8.01(a) (but without duplication), if any Lender determines at any time after the date on which this Agreement becomes effective that a Change in Law will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital or liquidity required to be maintained by such Lender (or its Parent) based on the existence of such Lender's Loans, Commitment and/or other obligations hereunder, then the Company shall pay to such Lender, within 15 days after its written demand therefor made through the

------

Administrative Agent in the form of the certificate referred to in Section 8.01(c) such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender for any reduction in the rate of return on capital or liquidity of such Lender (or its Parent) as a result of such increased capital or liquidity requirement; *provided* that the Company shall not be required to pay any such compensation with respect to any period prior to the 30th day before the date of any such demand; *provided further, however*, that to the extent (i) a Lender shall increase its level of capital or liquidity above the level maintained by such Lender on the date of this Agreement and there has not been a Change in Law or (ii) there has been a Change in Law and a Lender shall increase its level of capital or liquidity by an amount greater than the increase attributable (taking into consideration the same variables taken into consideration in determining the level of capital or liquidity maintained by such Lender on the date of this Agreement) to such Change in Law, the Company shall not be required to pay any amount or amounts under this Agreement with respect to any such increase in capital or liquidity. Thus, for example, a Lender which is "adequately capitalized" (as such term or any similar term is used by any applicable bank regulatory agency having authority with respect to such Lender) may not require the Company to make payments in respect of increases in such Lender's level of capital or liquidity made under the circumstances described in clause (i) or (ii) above which improve its capital or liquidity position from "adequately capitalized" to "well capitalized" (as such term or any similar term is used by any applicable bank regulatory agency having authority with respect to such Lender).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Each Lender will promptly notify the Company, through the Administrative Agent, of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date on which this Agreement becomes effective, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 8.01(a) and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate of any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 8.01(a) and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and setting forth the basis for the determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender shall act reasonably and in good faith, and may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. This Section 8.01 shall not apply to any Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes or Excluded Taxes, which shall be covered solely by Section 8.03.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Amounts shall only be payable by the Company to the applicable Lender under this Section 8.01 so long as such Lender determines in good faith that it is its general policy or practices to demand compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other financing agreements.

------

Section 8.02 *. Illegality.* (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if, after the date on which this Agreement becomes effective, a Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to (i) honor any Commitment it may have hereunder to make any Term SOFR Loan, then such Commitment shall be suspended, or (ii) maintain any Term SOFR Loan or any Competitive Bid Term SOFR Loan, then all Term SOFR Loans and Competitive Bid Term SOFR Loans of such Lender then outstanding shall be converted into Base Rate Loans as provided in Section 8.02(b), and any remaining Commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Term SOFR Loans (but not other Loans) shall be immediately suspended, in either case until such Lender may again make and/or maintain Term SOFR Loans (as the case may be), and borrowings from such Lender, at a time when borrowings from the other Lenders are to be of Term SOFR Loans, shall be made, simultaneously with such borrowings from the other Lenders, by way of Base Rate Loans. Upon the occurrence of any such change, such Lender shall promptly notify the Company thereof (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), and shall furnish to the Company in writing evidence thereof certified by such Lender. Before giving any notice pursuant to this Section 8.02(a), such Lender shall designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the sole reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Any conversion of any outstanding Term SOFR Loan or an outstanding Competitive Bid Loan which is required under this Section 8.02(a) shall be effected immediately (or, if permitted by applicable law, on the last day of the Interest Period therefor).

Section 8.03 *. Taxes on Payments.* (a) All payments in respect of the Loans shall be made free and clear of and without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any present and future taxes, assessments or governmental charges imposed by the United States, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein ("**Taxes**"), excluding (w) taxes imposed on a Lender's net income, (x) franchise taxes, (y) branch profits taxes, and (z) taxes imposed under FATCA (all such non-excluded taxes being hereinafter called "**Indemnified Taxes**" and all such excluded taxes being hereinafter called "**Excluded Taxes**"), except as expressly provided in this Section 8.03(a). If any Indemnified Taxes are imposed and required by law to be deducted or withheld from any amount payable to any Lender or Agent, then the Company shall (i) increase the amount payable so that such Lender or Agent will receive a net amount (after deduction of all Indemnified Taxes) equal to the amount due hereunder, (ii) pay such Indemnified Taxes to the appropriate taxing authority for the account of such Lender or Agent, and (iii) as promptly as possible thereafter, send such Lender or Agent evidence showing payment thereof, together with such additional documentary evidence as such Lender or Agent may from time to time require. If the Company fails to perform its obligations under (ii) or (iii) above, the Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and/or such Lender or Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable as a result of any such failure; *provided, however*, that the Company will not be required to make any payment to any Lender or Agent under this Section 8.03(a) if withholding is required in respect of such Lender or Agent by reason of such Lender's failure to comply with subsection (c) or (d)(i), unless such failure results from an amendment to or a change in any applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any regulatory authority (including without limitation any change in an applicable tax treaty), which amendment or change becomes effective after the date hereof.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Company shall indemnify the Agents and each Lender against any transfer taxes, documentary taxes, or similar assessments or charges made by any Governmental Authority by reason of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any Notes (hereinafter referred to as "**Other Taxes**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Each Lender that is a United States person for United States federal income tax purposes shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Each Lender that is not a United States person for United States federal income tax purposes (a "**Foreign Person**") agrees that it shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (i) on or before the date on which this Agreement becomes effective or the date of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement whereby it became a "Lender" hereunder (whichever is later), two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI, as appropriate, indicating that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, (ii) on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by such Lender to the Company and the Administrative Agent, such duly completed extensions or renewals of such forms (or successor forms) certifying in the case of a Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI (or successor forms) that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes (unless in any such case an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders such forms inapplicable or the exemption to which such forms relate unavailable and such Lender notifies the Company and the Administrative Agent that it is not entitled to receive payments without deduction or withholding of United States federal income taxes) and (iii) in the event of a transfer of any Loan to a subsidiary or affiliate of such Lender, concurrently with such transfer, a new Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or any successor form), as the case may be, for such subsidiary or affiliate indicating that such subsidiary or affiliate is, on the date of delivery thereof, entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. The Company and the Administrative Agent shall each be entitled to rely on such forms in its possession until receipt of any revised or successor form pursuant to the preceding sentence.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) If a Lender, at the time it first becomes a party to this Agreement (or because of a change in an Applicable Lending Office) is subject to a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Indemnified Taxes. For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Company with the appropriate form pursuant to Section 8.03(c) or (d)(i) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or in the interpretation thereof by any regulatory authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to additional payments under Section 8.03(a) with respect to Indemnified Taxes imposed by the United States; *provided, however*, that should a Lender, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, become subject to Indemnified Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Company shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Indemnified Taxes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) If the Company is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 8.03(a), then such Lender will change the jurisdiction of one or more Applicable Lending Offices so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the sole judgment of such Lender, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) If any Lender is able to apply for any credit, refund, deduction or other reduction in Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes in an amount which is reasonably determined by such Lender to be material, which arises by reason of any payment made by the Company pursuant to this Section 8.03(a), such Lender will use reasonable efforts to obtain such credit, refund, deduction or other reduction and, upon receipt thereof, will pay to the Company an amount, not exceeding the amount of such payment by the Company, equal to the net after tax value to such Lender, in its good faith determination, of such part of such credit, refund, deduction or other reduction as it determines to be allocable to such payment by the Company, having regard to all of its dealings giving rise to similar credits, refunds, deductions or other reductions during the same tax period and to the cost of obtaining the same; *provided, however*, that (i) such Lender shall not be obligated to disclose to the Company any information regarding its tax affairs or computations and (ii) nothing contained in this Section 8.03(a) shall be construed so as to interfere with the right of such Lender to arrange its tax affairs as it deems appropriate.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement or a Note 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 Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this subsection, "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) *Indemnification by Lenders*. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Company has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting any obligation of the Company to do so), (ii) any Taxes, Other Taxes or Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.08(g) and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or a Note or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (i).

ARTICLE 9

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.01 *. Termination of Commitment of a Lender; New Lenders.* (a) (1) If and during the time a Failed Loan in respect of any Lender shall exist, (2) upon receipt of notice from any Lender for compensation or indemnification pursuant to Section 8.01(c) or Section 8.03(a), (3) if any Lender shall fail to comply with the requirements of Section 8.03(c), (i), (i) or (h), (4) upon receipt of notice that the Commitment of a Lender to make Term SOFR Loans has been suspended or (5) if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, the Company shall have the right to terminate the Commitment in full of any such Lender (a "**Retiring Lender**"). The termination of the Commitment of a Retiring Lender pursuant to this Section 9.01(a) shall be effective on the tenth Business Day following the date of a notice of such termination to the Retiring Lender through the Syndication Agent, subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) in the event that on such effective date there shall be any Loans outstanding hereunder, the Company shall have prepaid on such date the aggregate principal amount of such Loans held by the Retiring Lender only (without regard to the pro rata prepayment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement); and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) in addition to the payment of the principal of the Loans held by the Retiring Lender pursuant to clause (i) above, the Company shall have paid such Retiring Lender all accrued interest thereon, and the Facility Fee and any other amounts then payable to it hereunder, including, without limitation, all amounts payable by the Company to such Lender under Section 2.14 by reason of the prepayment of Loans pursuant to clause (i) with respect to the period ending on such effective date; *provided* that the provisions of Section 8.01(a), Section 8.03(a) and Section 9.04(a) shall survive for the benefit of any Retiring Lender.

Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, such Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In lieu of the termination of a Lender's Commitment pursuant to Section 9.01(a), the Company may notify the Syndication Agent that the Company desires to replace such Retiring Lender with an Eligible Assignee (which may be one or more of the Lenders), which will purchase the Loans and assume the Commitment of the Retiring Lender. Upon the Company's selection of an Eligible Assignee to replace a Retiring Lender, such Eligible Assignee's agreement thereto and the fulfillment of the conditions to assignment and assumption set forth in Section 9.08(a) which shall result in payment to the Retiring Lender, either by the Company or the assignee, of all amounts which would have been payable upon termination of its Commitment pursuant to Section 9.01(a), such Eligible Assignee shall become a Lender hereunder for all purposes in accordance with Section 9.08(a).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no termination or assignment of a Defaulting Lender's Commitment pursuant to this Section 9.01 will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 9.02 *. Notices.* (a) All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including bank wire, telecopy, facsimile transmission or similar writing), except as provided in subsection (b) below, and shall be given to such party (i) in the case of the Company or any Agent, at its address set forth on the signature pages hereof, (ii) in the case of any Lender, at its address set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire or (iii) in the case of any party, such other address as such party

------

may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Company. Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (a) if given by registered or certified mail, upon the earlier of the date of actual receipt or the date of delivery indicated on the return receipt delivered to the sender or (b) if given by any other means, when received at the address or telecopier number specified in this Section and an oral or written confirmation of receipt is received from the recipient.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Electronic Communications*. Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, *provided* that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article 2 if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Company may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, *provided* that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender's receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the "return receipt requested" function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), *provided* that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *The Platform*. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMPANY MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE COMPANY MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMPANY MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons (collectively, the "**Agent Parties**") have any liability to the Company, any Lender, or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or

------

expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Company's, any Lender Party's or the Administrative Agent's transmission of Company Materials or notices through the Platform, any other electronic platform or electronic messaging service, or through the Internet, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of any of the Agent Parties.

Section 9.03 *. No Waivers.* No failure or delay by any Agent or Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 9.04 *. Expenses; Indemnification.* (a) The Company shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the Arrangers and the Agents (including the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of special counsel for the Arrangers and the Agents) in connection with the preparation of this Agreement (or the amendment, modification or waiver thereof) as previously agreed upon between the Company, the Arrangers and the Agents and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents and the Lenders, including reasonable and documented fees and expenses of no more than (x) one counsel to the Agents (plus one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and one specialty counsel in each applicable specialty), (y) one counsel to the Lenders (plus one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and one specialty counsel in each applicable specialty) and (z) in the case of an actual conflict of interest, one additional counsel for each group of similarly situated affected persons, taken as a whole), in connection with such Event of Default and collection and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Company agrees to indemnify each Agent and Lender, their respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the foregoing (each an "**Indemnitee**"; and each of the affiliates and other Persons with respect to any particular Agent or Lender, its "**Related Persons**") and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against (and to reimburse each Indemnitee on demand for) any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and reasonable expenses of any kind (including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel, limited to (x) one counsel for the Agents (plus one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and one specialty counsel in each applicable specialty), (y) one counsel for the Lenders (plus one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and one specialty counsel in each applicable specialty), and (z) in the case of an actual conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for each group of similarly situated affected Indemnitees, taken as a whole) incurred by such Indemnitee in response to or in defense of any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of Loans hereunder or any related transaction; *provided* that no

------

Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder (i) to the extent such indemnification relates to relationships of, between or among each of, or any of, the Agents, the Lenders or any Eligible Assignee or Participant, (ii) for such Indemnitee's or any of its Related Persons' gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or the material breach by such Indemnitee or any of its Related Persons of their obligations (if any) under this Agreement, as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (iii) for any settlement entered into by such Indemnitee without the Company's written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). This Section shall not apply to any Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes or Excluded Taxes, which shall be covered solely by Section 8.03.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, none of the Company, the Agents and the Lenders shall assert, and each of the Company, the Agents and the Lenders hereby waives, and acknowledges that no other Person shall have, any claim against the Company, any Indemnitee or any Indemnitee's Related Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing contained in this Section 9.04(c) shall limit the Company's indemnity or reimbursement obligations set forth in Section 9.04(b) to the extent such special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which such Indemnitee or Indemnitee's Related Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) All payments of fees and expenses and reimbursements by the Company pursuant to this Section 9.04 shall be made not later than 30 days (or during an Event of Default, not later than 10 Business Days) following receipt by the Company from the applicable Agent or Lender of an invoice setting forth in reasonable detail such amounts to be paid,

Section 9.05 *. Pro Rata Treatment.* Except as expressly provided in this Agreement with respect to Competitive Bid Loans, in Section 9.01(a) or otherwise, (a) each borrowing from, and change in the Commitments of, the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to their respective Commitments, and (b) each payment and prepayment on the Loans shall be made to all the Lenders, pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal amount of the Loans held by each of them.

Section 9.06 *. Sharing of Set-offs.* Each Lender agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise (except as contemplated by Section 2.03(a), Section 2.14, Article 8 or Section 9.01(a)), receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount then due with respect to the Loans held by it which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount then due with respect to the Loans held by such other Lender, the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment

------

shall purchase such participations in the Loans held by the other Lenders, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments with respect to the Loans held by the Lenders shall be shared by the Lenders pro rata; *provided* that nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Lender to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the Company, other than its indebtedness hereunder; *provided further*, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of set-off, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.04e)i) and 2.17c) 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 Administrative Agent, and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of set-off.

Section 9.07 *. Amendments and Waivers.* Any provision of this Agreement or the Notes may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Company and the Required Lenders (and, if the rights or duties of any Agent are affected thereby, by it); *provided* that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by each affected Lender, (i) extend or increase the Commitment of a Lender (it being understood and agreed that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 3.01 or of any Default or a mandatory reduction in Commitments is not considered an extension or increase in Commitments of any Lender), (ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder; *provided*, however, that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of "Post-Default Rate" or to waive any obligation of the Company to pay interest at the Post-Default Rate or (iii) postpone any scheduled payment of principal of, or the date fixed for any payment of interest on, any Loan or the date fixed for termination of any Commitment (subject to an extension of the Commitment Termination Date in respect of the Loans and/or Commitments of any Lender in accordance with Section 2.15); and *provided further* that, no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by all the Lenders, (x) change the percentage of the Credit Exposures that shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action under this (i) or any other provision of this Agreement or change the definition of "Required Lenders" or (y) amend, modify or waive any provision that provides for the ratable or pro rata nature of disbursements by or payments to the Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment or waiver hereunder (and any amendment or waiver which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

------

Section 9.08 *. Successors and Assigns; Participations; Novation.* (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby; *provided* that, except in accordance with Sections 5.04 and 5.07a), the Company may not assign or transfer any of its respective rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of all Lenders. 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); *provided* that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative 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), (ii) 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 Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (i) shall not apply to rights in respect of outstanding Competitive Bid Loans, (iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; (iv) no such assignment shall be made to any Defaulting Lender or any of its affiliates, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (i), (v) 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 a natural Person) and (vi) no such assignment shall be made to any Disqualified Lender unless the Company has consented to such assignment to such entity, in which case such entity will not be considered a Disqualified Lender for the purpose of such assignment (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, for the purpose of any future assignments to such Disqualified Lender). Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, 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 Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement 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 Section 8.01a), Section 8.03(a) and Section 9.04a)). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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 paragraph (i) of this Section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "**Register**"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice to the Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Company or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other financial institutions (other than a Disqualified Lender or a Defaulting Lender) (a "**Participant**") 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 owing to it); *provided* that (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 Administrative 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. 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; *provided* that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (i) or (i) of Section 9.07(i) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, the Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article 8 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (i) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender, *provided* that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Article 8 than the applicable Lender (if such Lender had not sold the participation to such Participant) would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company's prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Person if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.03(a) unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Company, to comply with Section 8.03(c), (d), (g) and (h) as though it were a Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank; *provided* that 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;(g) 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 Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (the "**Participant Register**"); *provided* that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any of the Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such right and/or obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations and Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-5(b) (or any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining the Participant Register.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) (i) No assignment or, to the extent the DQ List has been posted on the Platform for all Lenders, participation, shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Lender as of the date (the "**Trade Date**") 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 to such assignment as otherwise contemplated by this Section 9.08, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Lender for the purpose of such assignment or participation (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, for the purpose of any future assignments or participations to such Disqualified Lender)). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any

------

assignee or participant that becomes a Disqualified Lender after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to the definition of "Disqualified Lender"), (x) such assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender or participant and (y) the execution by the Company of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Lender. Any assignment in violation of this clause (h)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (h) shall apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) The Company may, if any assignment is made to any Disqualified Lender without the Company's prior consent in violation of clause (i) above, at the expense of the assigning lender, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Lender after the applicable Trade Date, at its own expense, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Lender and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Commitment of such Disqualified Lender and repay all obligations of the Company owing to such Disqualified Lender in connection with such Commitment and/or (B) require such Disqualified Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 9.08), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder; *provided* that (i) the Company shall not be required to pay to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 9.08(b) and (ii) such assignment does not conflict with applicable laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Lenders (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Company, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement, each Disqualified Lender will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Lenders consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter in effect ("**Plan of Reorganization**"), each Disqualified Lender party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Plan of Reorganization, (2) if such Disqualified Lender does vote on

------

such Plan of Reorganization notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be "designated" pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter in effect), 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 federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter in effect) and (3) 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 clause (2).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) The Administrative Agent shall have the right , and, in the case of this clause (B), the Company hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Lenders provided by the Company and any updates thereto from time to time subject to the Company's prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (collectively, the "**DQ List**") on the Platform or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same.

Section 9.09 *. Designated Lenders.* (a) Subject to the provisions of this subsection (a), any Lender may at any time designate an Approved Fund to provide all or a portion of the Loans to be made by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement; *provided* that such designation shall not be effective unless the Company and the Administrative Agent consent thereto (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld). When a Lender and its Approved Fund shall have signed an agreement substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit I</u> hereto (a "**Designation Agreement**") and the Company and the Administrative Agent shall have signed their respective consents thereto, such Approved Fund shall become a Designated Lender for purposes of this Agreement. The Designating Lender shall thereafter have the right to permit such Designated Lender to provide all or a portion of the Loans to be made by such Designating Lender pursuant to Section 2.01 or 2.03a), and the making of such Loans or portion thereof shall satisfy the obligation of the Designating Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loans or portion thereof were made by the Designating Lender. As to any Loans or portion thereof made by it, each Designated Lender shall have all the rights that a Lender making such Loans or portion thereof would have had under this Agreement and otherwise; *provided* that (x) its voting rights under this Agreement shall be exercised solely by its Designating Lender; (y) its Designating Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such Designated Lender's obligations under this Agreement, including its obligations in respect of the Loans or portion thereof made by it, and (z) such Designated Lender shall be subject to the limitations of Section 9.08(e) to the same extent as a Participant. No additional Note shall be required to evidence the Loans or portion thereof made by a Designated Lender; and the Designating Lender shall be deemed to hold its Note as agent for its Designated Lender to the extent of the Loans or portion thereof funded by such Designated Lender. Each Designating Lender

------

shall act as administrative agent for its Designated Lender and give and receive notices and other communications on its behalf. Any payments for the account of any Designated Lender shall be paid to its Designating Lender as administrative agent for such Designated Lender and neither the Company nor the Administrative Agent shall be responsible for any Designating Lender's application of such payments. In addition, any Designated Lender may, with notice to (but without the prior written consent of) the Company and the Administrative Agent assign all or portions of its interest in any Loans to its Designating Lender or to any financial institutions consented to by the Company and the Administrative Agent that provide liquidity and/or credit facilities to or for the account of such Designated Lender to support the funding of Loans or portions thereof made by it.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each party to this Agreement agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, any Designated Lender any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and a day after all outstanding senior indebtedness of such Designated Lender is paid in full. The Designating Lender for each Designated Lender agrees to indemnify, save, and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage and expense arising out of its inability to institute any such proceeding against such Designated Lender. This subsection (b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 9.10 *. Visitation.* Subject to restrictions imposed by applicable security clearance regulations, the Company will, upon reasonable notice, permit representatives of any Lender at such Lender's expense to visit any of its major properties during normal business hours.

Section 9.11 *. Interest Rate Limitation*. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the interest paid or agreed to be paid hereunder shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the "**Maximum Rate**"). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Company. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the obligations of the Company hereunder.

------

Section 9.12 *. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.* This Agreement and each Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York. Each of the Company, the Agents and the Lenders hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State Court, in each case, sitting in New York, Borough of Manhattan, for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the Company, the Agents and the Lenders irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Section 9.13 *. Integration; Effectiveness; Section Headings.* This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 3.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signature of each of the other parties hereto. Section headings herein and in any related documents are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement or any other related document.

Section 9.14 *. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.* EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Confidentiality.* Each Lender agrees, with respect to any information delivered or made available by the Company to it, to maintain the confidentiality of such information and protect such information from unauthorized use or disclosure and to restrict disclosure to only those Persons employed or retained by such Lender who are or are expected to become engaged in evaluating, approving, structuring or administering this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Nothing herein shall prevent any Lender from disclosing such information (i) to any other Lender, (ii) to its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys and accountants who have a need to know such information in accordance with customary banking practices and who receive such information having been made aware of and having agreed to restrictions at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Section, (iii) upon the order of any court or administrative agency, (iv) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority having jurisdiction over such Lender, (v) which has been publicly disclosed other than as a result of a breach of this Section, (vi) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation to which any Agent, any Lender, the Company or their respective affiliates may be a party provided that the Person required to disclose such information shall take reasonable efforts to ensure that any such information so disclosed shall be

------

afforded confidential treatment, to the extent permitted by law, rule or regulation, (vii) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder, (viii) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same (or at least as restrictive) as those of this Section, to (a) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (b) any actual prospective party (or its Related Persons) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Company and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (ix) on a confidential basis to (a) any rating agency in connection with rating of the Company or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (b) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder and (x) with the prior written consent of the Company; *provided, however*, that before any disclosure is permitted under (iii), (iv) or (vi) of this (i), each Lender shall (except with respect to any routine or ordinary course audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental, bank regulatory or self-regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority), if not legally prohibited, notify and consult with the Company, promptly and in a timely manner, concerning the information it proposes to disclose, to enable the Company to take such action as may be appropriate under the circumstances to protect the confidentiality of the information in question, and *provided further* that any such efforts taken by a Lender to protect the information will be at the Company's expense. In addition, the Administrative 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 Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, any other documents related hereto and the Commitments. The use of the term "**confidential**" in this Section 9.15 is not intended to refer to data classified by the government of the United States under laws and regulations relating to the handling of data, but is intended to refer to information and other data regarded by the Company as private.

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.

Section 9.16. *No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.* Each Agent, each Lender and their affiliates may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Company, its stockholders and/or its affiliates. The Company, on behalf of itself and the Subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Company, the Subsidiaries and their affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agents, the Lenders, and their affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of any Agent, any Lender or any of their affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications.

------

Section 9.17 *. USA Patriot Act.* Each Lender hereby notifies the Company that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Company, which information includes the name and address of the Company and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Company in accordance with said Act.

Section 9.18 *. Electronic Execution.* This Agreement 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 Company and each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on such Person to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record ("<u>Electronic Copy</u>"), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person's business, and destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is under no 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; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the Company and/or any Lender without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart. For purposes hereof, "<u>Electronic Record</u>" and "<u>Electronic Signature</u>" shall have the meanings assigned to them, respectively, by 15 USC §7006, as it may be amended from time to time.

------

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

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

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