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

On September 18, 2025, (the "**Closing Date**"), our subsidiaries Evergreen AcqCo 1 LP (the "**US Borrower**"), Value Village Canada Inc. (the "**Canadian Borrower**" and, together with the US Borrower, the "**Borrowers**"), Evergreen AcqCo GP LLC and S-Evergreen Holding Corp. (collectively, the "**Loan Parties**") entered into a Credit Agreement with Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, PNC Bank, National Association, as revolving agent, and the lenders party thereto (the "**Credit Agreement**").

The Credit Agreement provides for a $750.0 million term loan facility (the "**Term Loan Facility**") and $180.0 million of revolving credit commitments (the "**Revolving Credit Facility**" and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the "**Senior Credit Facilities**"). The proceeds of the Term Loan Facility were used, in part, to repay or redeem all outstanding obligations under (i) the Credit Agreement, dated as of April 26, 2021 (as amended), by and among the Loan Parties, KKR Loan Administration Services LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, PNC Bank, National Association, as revolving agent, and the lenders party thereto (the "**Existing Credit Agreement**") and (ii) the Indenture, dated as of February 6, 2023, among Evergreen AcqCo 1 LP (the "**Issuer**"), TVI, Inc. as co-issuer (the "**Co-issuer**" and, together with the Issuer, the "**Issuers**"), the guarantors party thereto from time to time and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee and as notes collateral agent governing the 9.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the "**Existing Notes**").

Our principal subsidiaries in the United States and Canada are borrowers under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, and most of our U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries are guarantors. The Senior Secured Credit Facilities are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all assets of the borrowers and guarantors, subject to certain exceptions. The Revolving Credit Facility is senior to the Term Loan Facility in right of payment.

The Term Loan Facility matures in September 2032. The Term Loan Facility bears interest at a variable rate equal to a reference rate plus a margin of 2.00% or 3.00% based on the type of loan. The applicable margin under the Term Loan Facility will be reduced by 0.25% per annum in the event that the US Borrower has received a public corporate credit rating equal to BB- or better (with stable or better outlook) from S&P Global Ratings and a public corporate family rating equal to Ba3 or better (with a stable or better outlook) from Moody's Investors Service, Inc. The Borrowers are required to prepay the Term Loan Facility with a percentage of their annual excess cash flow if their first lien net leverage ratio exceeds 4.00 to 1.00. The Borrowers are also required to prepay the Term Loan Facility with a percentage of the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales, subject to customary reinvestment provisions, when the first lien leverage ratio exceeds 4.00 to 1.00. The Borrowers may prepay amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Facility, subject to a 1.00% prepayment premium for prepayments made within six months of the Closing Date (subject to certain exceptions).

The Revolving Credit Facility matures in September 2030. The maximum available amount under the Revolving Credit Facility is $180.0 million, with $75.0 million available for letters of credit and a swingline sublimit of $25.0 million. Revolving loan draws are permitted in both U.S. and Canadian dollars and interest is variable at a rate equal to the reference rate plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 3.00% based on the type of loan and the Borrowers' first lien net leverage ratio.

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities also have a customary uncommitted incremental facility equal to (a) the greater of $313.3 million and 1.0 times our EBITDA plus unused amounts under the "general" debt basket, plus (b) an additional amount such that (x) the Borrowers' pro forma net first lien leverage ratio is less than or equal to 4.50 (or less than the net first lien leverage ratio immediately prior to the incurrence of such additional debt) (in the case of first-lien debt), (y) either the Borrowers' pro forma net secured net leverage ratio is less than or equal to 6.50 (or less than the net secured leverage ratio immediately prior to the incurrence of such additional debt) or the Borrowers' pro forma interest coverage ratio is greater than or equal to 2.00 (or greater than the interest coverage ratio immediately prior to the incurrence of such additional debt) (in the case of junior lien debt) or (z) either the Borrowers' pro forma net leverage ratio is less than or equal to 6.50 (or less than the net leverage ratio immediately prior to the incurrence of such additional debt) or the Borrowers' pro forma interest coverage ratio is greater than or equal to 2.00 (or greater than the interest coverage ratio immediately prior to the incurrence of such additional debt) (in the case of unsecured debt or debt not secured by collateral securing the Senior Credit Facilities).

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities have customary affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on the ability of the Loan Parties and their subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, incur liens, make investments, make restricted payments, make optional prepayments on junior financings, engage in transactions with affiliates and make asset sales, in each case, subject to customary exceptions and baskets.

------

The Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a financial maintenance covenant that requires the Borrowers to maintain a net first lien leverage ratio not in excess of a maximum net first lien leverage ratio, tested quarterly, beginning with our first fiscal quarter in the 2026 fiscal year. The financial maintenance covenant is only applicable if the aggregate amount of revolving loans, swingline loans and letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility (excluding (i) letters of credit and (ii) for the first four fiscal quarters following the Closing Date, outstanding amounts incurred to finance the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement) exceeds 40% of the committed amount. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for customary equity cure rights.

The foregoing summary of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Credit Agreement, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

**Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.**

*Termination of the Existing Credit Agreement*

On the Closing Date, the Loan Parties terminated and repaid in full all outstanding obligations due under the Existing Credit Agreement. No early termination penalties or prepayment premium were incurred by the Loan Parties in connection with the termination of the Existing Credit Agreement.

*Redemption of the Existing Notes*

On the Closing Date, the Issuers redeemed all of the outstanding $401 million aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes at a redemption price equal to 104.875% of the principal amount of the Existing Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through but not including September 18, 2025.

number of decimal places by which such ratio is expressed herein (the "applicable decimal place") and rounding the result up or down to the applicable decimal place.

SECTION 1.05<u>References to Agreements, Laws, Etc.</u> Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, (a) references to Organization Documents, agreements (including the Loan Documents) and other contractual instruments shall be deemed to include all subsequent amendments, restatements, extensions, supplements and other modifications thereto; and (b) references to any Law shall include all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending, replacing, supplementing or interpreting such Law.

SECTION 1.06<u>Times of Day</u>. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to New York City time (daylight or standard, as applicable).

SECTION 1.07<u>Available Amount Transactions</u>. If more than one action occurs on any given date the permissibility of the taking of which is determined hereunder by reference to the amount of the Available Amount immediately prior to the taking of such action, the permissibility of the taking of each such action shall be determined independently, but in no event may any two or more such actions be treated as occurring simultaneously (i.e., each transaction must be permitted under the Available Amount as so calculated).

SECTION 1.08<u>Pro Forma Calculations; Limited Condition Transactions; Basket and Ratio Compliance</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this <u>Section 1.08</u>; *provided*, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clauses <u>(b)</u>, <u>(c)</u> or <u>(d)</u> of this <u>Section 1.08</u>, when calculating the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio for purposes of <u>Section 2.07(b)(i)</u> and the Asset Sale Prepayment Percentage, the events described in this <u>Section 1.08</u> that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period shall not be given *pro forma* effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)For purposes of calculating the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio, Specified Transactions (and the incurrence or repayment of any Indebtedness in connection therewith) that have been made (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) subsequent to such Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made shall be calculated on a *pro forma* basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and any increase or decrease in Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and the component financial definitions used therein attributable to any Specified Transaction) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period. If since the beginning of any applicable Test Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into a Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction identified by the US Borrower that would have required adjustment pursuant to this <u>Section 1.08</u>, then the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio shall be calculated to give *pro forma* effect thereto in accordance with this <u>Section 1.08</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Whenever *pro forma* effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction, the *pro forma* calculations shall be made in good faith by a Responsible Officer and may include, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of "run rate" cost savings, revenue enhancements, operating expense reductions, operating improvements and other synergies and material changes to amounts to be paid by or received by Loan Parties and material changes to contracted or implemented revenues (in connection with any material acquisition, disposition or changes in customer, supplier or other commercial contracts or arrangements or new material customer, supplier or other commercial contracts or arrangements), projected by the US Borrower in good faith to be realized as a result of specified actions taken, committed to be taken or expected to be taken after the end of such Test Period (which amounts will be determined by the US Borrower in good faith and calculated on a *pro forma* basis as though such amounts had been realized on the first day of such Test Period for which Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is being determined, net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions; *provided* that (i) such actions are taken, committed to be taken or reasonably expected to be taken no later than thirty-six months after the date of such Specified Transaction, and (ii) no amounts shall be included pursuant to this <u>clause (c)</u> to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise included in calculating Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, whether through a *pro forma* adjustment or otherwise, with respect to any Test Period.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)In the event that a Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or guarantees) or repays (including by redemption, repayment, retirement or extinguishment) any Indebtedness included in the calculations of the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio, as the case may be (in each case, other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility in the ordinary course of business for working capital purposes), (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving *pro forma* effect to such incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness, to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period with respect to leverage ratios or the first day of such Test Period with respect to the Interest Coverage Ratio.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any classification under GAAP of any Person, business, assets or operations in respect of which a definitive agreement for the disposition thereof has been entered into as discontinued operations, no *pro forma* effect shall be given to any discontinued operations (and the Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA attributable to any such Person, business, assets or operations shall not be excluded for any purposes hereunder) until such disposition shall have been consummated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Loan Document to the contrary,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)the Borrowers may rely on more than one basket or exception hereunder (including both ratio-based and non-ratio based baskets and exceptions, and including partial reliance on different baskets that, collectively, permit the entire proposed transaction) at the time of any proposed transaction, and the Borrowers may, in their sole discretion, at any later time divide, classify or reclassify such transaction (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with the available baskets and exceptions hereunder at such later time (*provided* that with respect to reclassification of Indebtedness and Liens, any such reclassification shall be subject to the parameters of <u>Sections 7.01</u> and <u>7.03</u>, as applicable),

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)unless the US Borrower elects otherwise, if a Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with any transaction or series of such related transactions,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A)incurs Indebtedness, creates Liens, makes Dispositions, makes Investments, designates any Subsidiary as restricted or unrestricted, repays Indebtedness, makes a Restricted Payment, consummates any transaction or takes (or refrains from taking) any action, under, as permitted by, or in reliance on a provision of a Loan Document that requires compliance with a financial ratio or any other measurement of financial or operational performance (a "**ratio-based basket**"), and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B)incurs Indebtedness, creates Liens, makes Dispositions, makes Investments, designates any Subsidiary as restricted or unrestricted, repays Indebtedness, makes a Restricted Payment, consummates any transaction or takes (or refrains from taking) any action, under, as permitted by, or in reliance on a provision of a Loan Document that is not a ratio-based basket (a "**non ratio-based basket**"), which shall occur within five Business Days of the events in <u>clause (A)</u> above,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C)then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, with respect to any calculation of a financial ratio or other measurement of financial or operational performance (including any such determination on a Pro Forma Basis), such financial ratio or other measurement of financial or operational performance will be calculated without regard to any other action, including actions taken in reliance upon a non-ratio-based basket;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)if a Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries enters into any revolving, delayed draw or other committed debt facility, the Borrowers may elect by written notice to the Applicable Agent (or shall be deemed to have elected with respect to any Incremental Revolving

------

Commitments) to determine compliance of such debt facility (including the incurrence of Indebtedness and Liens from time to time in connection therewith) with this Agreement and each other Loan Document on the date commitments with respect thereto are first received, assuming the full amount of such facility is incurred (and any applicable Liens are granted) on such date, in which case such committed amount may thereafter be borrowed or reborrowed, in whole or in part, from time to time, without further compliance with such applicable ratio-based basket hereunder, in lieu of determining such compliance on any subsequent date (including any date on which Indebtedness is incurred pursuant to such facility); *provided* that, in each case, any future calculation of such ratio-based basket shall only include amounts borrowed and outstanding as of such date of determination,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)if a Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries enters into any revolving, delayed draw or other committed debt facility, the US Borrower may elect to determine compliance of such debt facility (including the incurrence of Indebtedness and Liens from time to time in connection therewith) with this Agreement and each other Loan Document on the date commitments with respect thereto are first received, assuming the full amount of such facility is incurred (and any applicable Liens are granted) on such date, in which case such committed amount may thereafter be borrowed or reborrowed, in whole or in part, from time to time, without further compliance with such applicable ratio-based basket hereunder, in lieu of determining such compliance on any subsequent date (including any date on which Indebtedness is incurred pursuant to such facility); *provided* that, in each case, any future calculation of such ratio-based basket shall only include amounts borrowed and outstanding as of such date of determination; *provided, further*, that notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Incremental Term Facility in the form of a delayed draw term loan facility (an "<u>Incremental DDTL Facility</u>") established as an Incremental Term Facility, such Incremental DDTL Facility shall either, as selected by the US Borrower in its sole discretion, (x) be assumed to be fully drawn on the date such Incremental DDTL Facility is initially established for purposes of determining whether such Incremental DDTL Facility may be incurred or (y) otherwise require capacity under the Incremental Amount with respect to each delayed draw term loan funded thereunder, in the case of this clause (y), determined on the applicable date of funding thereof (*provided* that commitments in respect of any Incremental DDTL Facility shall not be included in the calculation of Required Lenders in any determination of whether the Required Lenders have consented to any amendment or waiver unless the commitments under such Incremental DDTL Facility would have been permitted to be drawn on the date of such determination); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)if a Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs Indebtedness under a ratio-based basket, such ratio-based basket (together with any other ratio-based basket utilized in connection therewith, including in respect of other Indebtedness, Liens, Dispositions, Investments, Restricted Payments or payments in respect of Junior Financing) will be calculated excluding the cash proceeds of such Indebtedness for netting purposes (i.e., such cash proceeds shall not reduce the Borrowers' Consolidated Net Debt or Consolidated Secured Net Debt pursuant to <u>clause (b)</u> of the definition of such terms), *provided,* that notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, that any such cash proceeds from such Indebtedness may be netted for purposes of calculating such ratio-based basket if such cash proceeds are used to replace or replenish cash on a Borrower's or any Subsidiary's balance sheet that was previously used to finance an acquisition or other Permitted Investment consummated within the previous 90 days; *provided* that the actual application of such proceeds may reduce Indebtedness for purposes of determining compliance with any such applicable ratio-based basket.

For example, if a Borrower incurs Indebtedness under the Fixed Incremental Amount on the same date that it incurs Indebtedness under the Ratio Amount, then the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio and any other applicable ratio will be calculated with respect to such incurrence under the Ratio Amount without regard to any incurrence of Indebtedness under the Fixed Incremental Amount. Unless the Borrowers elect otherwise, each Incremental Facility (or Incremental Equivalent Debt) shall be deemed incurred first under the Ratio Amount to the extent permitted (and calculated prior to giving effect to any substantially simultaneous incurrence of any Indebtedness based on a basket or exception that is not based on a financial ratio, including under the Revolving Facility and/or the Fixed Incremental Amount), with any

------

balance incurred under the Fixed Incremental Amount. For purposes of determining compliance with <u>Section 2.16</u>, in the event that any Incremental Facility or Incremental Equivalent Debt (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of Ratio Amount or Fixed Incremental Amount, the Borrowers may, in their sole discretion, at the time of incurrence, divide, classify or reclassify, or at any later time divide, classify or reclassify, such Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with <u>Section 2.16</u> on the date of such classification or any such reclassification, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Loan Document to the contrary, when

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)calculating any applicable ratio in connection with the incurrence of Indebtedness, the creation of Liens, the making of any Disposition, the making of an Investment, the making of a Restricted Payment, the designation of a Subsidiary as restricted or unrestricted, the repayment of Indebtedness or for any other purpose,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)determining the accuracy of any representation or warranty,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)determining whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result from any action (including the consummation of a Limited Condition Transaction), or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)determining compliance with any term or condition set forth in a Loan Document,

in each case of <u>clauses (i)</u> through <u>(iv)</u>, in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction or any other transaction taking in connection therewith (or pursuant thereto), the date of determination of such ratio, the accuracy of such representation or warranty (but taking into account any earlier date specified therein), whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom, or such compliance, at the option of the US Borrower (the US Borrower's election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an "**LCT Election**"), shall be deemed to be either (A) the date a definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into or, if applicable, the date with respect which a Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary otherwise becomes obligated to consummate such Limited Condition Transaction (it being agreed that such date shall also be the relevant date to test the permissibility of any transactions to be incurred in connection with or pursuant to such Limited Condition Transaction), (B) at the US Borrower's sole election, any date following delivery of a new quarterly or annual financial information pursuant to <u>Section 6.01(a)</u> or <u>Section 6.01(b)</u> or corresponding information of the target of such Limited Condition Transaction or (C) the date with respect to which notice is or is required to be delivered in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction or any other such transaction (such applicable date, the "**LCT Test Date**"). If, on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to such Limited Condition Transaction and such other transactions contemplated at such time to be entered into or consummated in connection therewith (including any incurrence of any Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof and calculated as if such Limited Condition Transaction or such other transactions had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ending prior to the LCT Test Date for which financial statements are available), the Borrowers could have consummated the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with the Loan Documents or without such transactions resulting in a Default or Event of Default, such transactions shall be permitted to be consummated on any subsequent date. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if any of such ratios, representations and warranties, absence of defaults, satisfaction of conditions precedent or other provisions are exceeded or breached as a result of fluctuations in such ratio (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA), a change in facts and circumstances or other provisions at or prior to

------

the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Transaction, such ratios, representations and warranties, absence of defaults, satisfaction of conditions precedent and other provisions will not be deemed to have been exceeded, breached, or otherwise failed as a result of such fluctuations or changed circumstances solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Transaction and any related transactions is permitted hereunder and (ii) such ratios and compliance with such conditions shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction or related transactions. If the US Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket availability with respect to any other transaction or otherwise on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (if applicable) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires (without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction), at the US Borrower's election, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated. For purposes of any calculation pursuant to this <u>clause (f)</u> of the Interest Coverage Ratio, Consolidated Interest Expense may be calculated using an assumed interest rate for the Indebtedness to be incurred in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction based on the indicative interest margin contained in any financing commitment documentation with respect to such Indebtedness or, if no such indicative interest margin exists, as reasonably determined by the US Borrower in good faith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)For purposes of calculating the Ratio Amount, Permitted Ratio Debt and <u>Section 7.01(i)</u> (including for purposes of <u>Section 7.03(l)(ii))</u>, the phrase "immediately prior to such incurrence" shall be construed to apply only if, at the time of such determination, on a Pro Forma Basis for such incurrence of Indebtedness and/or Liens (and for any related Permitted Investment, if applicable), (w) the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio would be greater than the Closing Date First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, (x) the Secured Net Leverage Ratio would be greater than the Closing Date Secured Net Leverage Ratio plus 2.00 to 1.00, (y) the Total Net Leverage Ratio would be greater than the Closing Date Total Net Leverage Ratio plus 2.00 to 1.00 or (z) the Interest Coverage Ratio would be less than 2.00 to 1.00, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)For purposes of determining the maturity date of any Indebtedness, customary bridge loans that are subject to customary conditions (including no payment or bankruptcy event of default) that would either automatically be extended as, converted into or required to be exchanged for permanent refinancing shall be deemed to have the maturity date as so extended, converted or exchanged.

SECTION 1.09<u>Currency Equivalents Generally</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)For purposes of determining compliance with <u>Sections 7.01</u>, <u>7.02</u> and <u>7.03</u> with respect to any amount of Lien, Indebtedness or Investment in a currency other than Dollars, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of currency exchange occurring after the time such Lien, Indebtedness or Investment is incurred (so long as such Indebtedness or Investment, at the time incurred, made or acquired, was permitted hereunder).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, where the permissibility of a transaction or determinations of required actions or circumstances depend upon compliance with, or are determined by reference to, amounts stated in Dollars, any requisite currency translation (i) with respect to Loans or Commitments, shall be based on the Exchange Rate and (ii) with respect to any other amounts, shall be based on the rate of exchange between the applicable currency and Dollars as reasonably determined by the US Borrower, in each case in effect on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such transaction or determination (subject to <u>clauses (c)</u> and <u>(d)</u> below) and shall not be affected by subsequent fluctuations in exchange rates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)For purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the Dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the Exchange Rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt (or, in the

------

case of an LCT Election, on the date of the applicable LCT Test Date); *provided* that, if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the Exchange Rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Indebtedness so refinanced does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the Exchange Rate that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)For purposes of determining the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio, including Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA when calculating such ratios, all amounts denominated in a currency other than Dollars will be converted to Dollars for any purpose (including testing the any financial maintenance covenant) at the effective rate of exchange in respect thereof reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Borrowers for the applicable Test Period for which such measurement is being made, and will reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of Hedge Agreements permitted hereunder for currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination of the Dollar equivalent of such Indebtedness.

SECTION 1.10<u>Rates</u>. The Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent and the Lenders do not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the Base Rate, the Canadian Prime Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Term CORRA Reference Rate, Term CORRA, Adjusted Term CORRA, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, the Base Rate, the Canadian Prime Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Term CORRA Reference Rate, Term CORRA, Adjusted Term CORRA or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes (except, in each case, to the extent of liabilities resulting primarily from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Agent, as applicable (as determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction). The Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent, the Lenders and each of their respective Affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the Base Rate, the Canadian Prime Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Term CORRA Reference Rate, Term CORRA, Adjusted Term CORRA, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrowers (but not with the specific intent of adversely impacting the Borrowers). The Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent and the Lenders may select information sources or services in their reasonable discretion to ascertain the Base Rate, the Canadian Prime Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Term CORRA Reference Rate, Term CORRA, Adjusted Term CORRA, or any other Benchmark, in each case, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service, except, in each case, to the extent of liabilities resulting from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Agent, as applicable.

SECTION 1.11<u>Additional Alternative Currencies</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Borrowers may from time to time request that Alternative Currency Loans be made and/or Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other than those specifically listed in the definition of "Alternative Currency". In the case of any such request with respect to the making of Alternative Currency Loans, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and each Lender with a Commitment under which such currency is requested to be made available; and in the case of any such request with respect to the issuance of Letters of Credit, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Any such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., twenty (20) Business Days prior to the date of the desired credit extension (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in writing and, in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Issuing Bank, in its or their sole discretion). In the case of any such request pertaining to Alternative Currency Loans, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender thereof; and in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Issuing Bank thereof. Each Appropriate Lender (in the case of any such request pertaining to Alternative Currency Loans) or the Issuing Bank (in the case of a request pertaining to Letters of Credit) shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of Alternative Currency Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in such requested currency.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Any failure by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to permit Alternative Currency Loans to be made or Letters of Credit to be issued in such requested currency. If the Administrative Agent and all the Lenders consent to making Alternative Currency Loans in such requested currency and the Administrative Agent and such Lenders reasonably determine that an appropriate interest rate is available to be used for such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Company and (i) the Administrative Agent and such Lenders may amend the definition of Alternative Currency Daily Rate or Alternative Currency Term Rate to the extent necessary to add the applicable rate for such currency and any applicable adjustment for such rate and (ii) to the extent the definition of Alternative Currency Daily Rate or Alternative Currency Term Rate, as applicable, has been amended to reflect the appropriate rate for such currency, such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency for purposes of any Borrowings of Alternative Currency Loans. If the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Company and (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank may amend the definition of Alternative Currency Daily Rate or Alternative Currency Term Rate, as applicable, to the extent necessary to add the applicable rate for such currency and any applicable adjustment for such rate and (iv) to the extent the definition of Alternative Currency Daily Rate or Alternative Currency Term Rate, as applicable, has been amended to reflect the appropriate rate for such currency, such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency, for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)If the Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this <u>Section 1.11</u>, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Borrowers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent more than one Issuing Bank consents to the issuance of Letters of Credit in an Alternative Currency requested by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 1.11, the Borrowers may select, in their sole discretion and as promptly as is reasonably practicable, the Issuing Bank(s) that shall issue such requested Letters of Credit. The Borrowers shall provide the Administrative Agent with prompt written notice of such selection, which the Administrative Agent shall thereafter promptly furnish to the applicable Issuing Banks.

SECTION 1.12<u>Escrow Closings</u>. Any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred hereunder (including any Incremental Facilities) may be incurred, at the option of the Borrower, by a newly created and newly designated Unrestricted Subsidiary (an "Unrestricted Escrow Subsidiary") with no assets other than the cash proceeds of such incurred Indebtedness plus, subject to compliance to Section 7.02, any cash and Cash Equivalents contributed to such Unrestricted Escrow Subsidiary (including to be used as a deposit of interest expenses and fees, additional cash collateral or for other purposes), which Unrestricted Escrow Subsidiary will then merge with and into the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries with the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary surviving the merger and assuming all obligations of the Unrestricted Escrow Subsidiary. So long as such Indebtedness would have been permitted to be incurred directly by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary upon the incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Unrestricted Escrow Subsidiary, or, with respect to any Indebtedness incurred in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, at the option of the Borrower, at the time the LCT Election is made, the creation, designation and re-designation of the Unrestricted Escrow Subsidiary and the merger of the

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)The failure of any Lender to make the Term Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Term Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Term Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)With the prior consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the Initial Term Loans may be made on a cashless basis via a Cashless Exchange by Lenders (under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement).

If the applicable Borrower fails to specify a Type of Revolving Loan in a Committed Loan Notice, then in the case of Revolving Loans, the applicable Revolving Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable. If the applicable Borrower fails to specify a currency in a Committed Loan Notice, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected Dollars.

Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in <u>Section 4.02</u> (or if such Borrowing is on the Closing Date, <u>Section 4.01</u>), the Revolving Agent shall make all funds so received available to the applicable Borrower in like funds as received by the Revolving Agent by wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Revolving Agent by the applicable Borrower; *provided*, *however*, that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing is given by the applicable Borrower, there are Swing Line Loans outstanding or Reimbursement Obligations outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, <u>first</u>, to the payment in full of any such Reimbursement Obligations, <u>second</u>, to the payment in full of any such Swing Line Loans and <u>third</u>, to the US Borrower as provided above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)The failure of any Lender to make the Revolving Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Revolving Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Revolving Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

SECTION 2.03<u>Swing Line Loans</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Swing Line Loan</u>. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the Revolving Lenders set forth in this <u>Section 2.03</u>, agrees to make Swing Line Loans in Dollars or Canadian Dollars to the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit; *provided* that, after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments shall not exceed the Revolving Commitments, (ii) the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments of any Revolving Lender shall not exceed such Lender's Revolving Commitment and (iii) the aggregate principal amount outstanding of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the Swing Line Sublimit; *provided*, *further*, that the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to make a Swing Line Loan to refinance an outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swing Line Loans.

------

Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan by the Swing Line Lender, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender's Pro Rata Share of the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Borrowing Mechanics for Swing Line Loans</u>. Each Swing Line Loan Borrowing shall be made upon the applicable Borrower's irrevocable written notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Revolving Agent. Each such notice may be given by a Swing Line Loan Request. Each such Swing Line Loan Request must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Revolving Agent not later than 12 p.m. on the date of the requested Swing Line Loan Borrowing, and such notice shall specify (i) the amount and currency to be borrowed, which shall be in a minimum of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $25,000 in excess thereof (or, in the case of a Swing Line Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars, a minimum of Cdn.$100,000 or a whole multiple of Cdn.$25,000 in excess thereof), and (ii) the date of such Swing Line Loan Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day). Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of such notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Revolving Agent that the Revolving Agent has also received such notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Revolving Agent of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice from the Revolving Agent (including at the request of the Required Revolving Lenders) prior to 12:00 p.m. on such requested borrowing date (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first sentence of <u>Section 2.03(a)</u> or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in <u>Section 4.02</u> is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender shall make each Swing Line Loan available to the applicable Borrower, by wire transfer thereof in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Swing Line Lender, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the requested date of such Swing Line Loan (which instructions may include standing payment instructions, which may be updated from time to time by the US Borrower, *provided* that, unless the Swing Line Lender shall otherwise agree, any such update shall not take effect until the Business Day immediately following the date on which such update is provided to the Swing Line Lender).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Refinancing of Swing Line Loans</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the applicable Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Lender make a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan, as applicable, in an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans made by then Swing Line Lender then outstanding plus, if Swing Line Lender so requests, accrued interest thereon (the "**Refunded Swing Line Loans**"). Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance (including with respect to prior notice requirements) with the requirements of <u>Section 2.02(b)</u>, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein, but subject to the aggregate unused Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in <u>Section 4.02</u>. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the US Borrower with a copy of such Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Revolving Agent. Each Revolving Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Revolving Agent in immediately available funds (and the Revolving Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Revolving Agent's Office not later than the day and time specified in such Committed Loan Notice, which shall not be earlier than 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day after the date the Revolving Lenders receive such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to <u>Section 2.03(c)(ii)</u>, each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan, as applicable, to the US Borrower in such amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Loan Borrowing in accordance with <u>Section 2.03(c)(i)</u>, the request for Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Lenders fund its participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Lender's payment to the Revolving Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to <u>Section 2.03(c)(i)</u> shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation. The Revolving Agent

------

shall notify the US Borrower of any participations in any Swing Line Loan funded pursuant to this <u>clause (ii)</u>, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swing Line Loan (to the extent of such funded participations) shall be made to the Revolving Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and not to the Swing Line Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Revolving Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this <u>Section 2.03(c)</u> by the time specified in <u>Section 2.03(c)(i),</u> the Swing Line Lender (acting through the Revolving Agent) shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender, on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, *<u>plus</u>* any reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Revolving Loan included in the relevant Revolving Loan Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted (through the Revolving Agent) to any Revolving Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this <u>clause (iii)</u> shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)Each Revolving Lender's obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this <u>Section 2.03(c)</u> shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the applicable Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; *provided* that each Revolving Lender's obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this <u>Section 2.03(c)</u> is subject to the conditions set forth in <u>Section 4.02</u>; *provided, further,* that for the avoidance of doubt, the conditions set forth in <u>Section 4.02</u> shall not apply to the purchase or funding of participations pursuant to this <u>Section 2.03(e)</u>. No such funding of participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Repayment of Participations</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)At any time after any Revolving Lender has purchased and funded a participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will promptly remit such Revolving Lender's Pro Rata Share of such payment to the Revolving Agent (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender's participation was funded) in like funds as received by the Swing Line Lender, and any such amounts received by the Revolving Agent will be remitted by the Revolving Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have funded their participations pursuant to <u>Section 2.03(c)(ii)</u> to the extent of their interests therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in <u>Section 11.06</u> (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its reasonable discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to such Swing Line Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Revolving Agent, *<u>plus</u>* interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The Revolving Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this <u>clause (ii)</u> shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender</u>. The Revolving Agent shall be responsible for invoicing the applicable Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans made by the Swing Line Lender. Until each Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan, as applicable, or participation pursuant to this <u>Section 2.03</u> to refinance such Lender's Pro Rata Share of any Swing Line Loan made by the Swing Line Lender, interest in respect of such Lender's share thereof shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)<u>Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender</u>. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the applicable Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to Revolving Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

SECTION 2.04<u>Issuance of Letters of Credit and Purchase of Participations Therein</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Letter of Credit Commitment</u>.

Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the US Borrower's ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the US Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(E)such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(F)any Revolving Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender, unless such Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements, including reallocation of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations pursuant to <u>Section 2.19(a)(iii)</u> or the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such Issuing Bank (in its sole discretion) with the US Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such Issuing Bank's actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to <u>Section 2.19(a)(iii)</u>) with respect to such Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or such Letter of Credit and all other Letter of Credit Obligations as to which such Issuing Bank has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to amend or extend any Letter of Credit if (A) such Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)Unless Cash Collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, each standby Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (A) the date twelve months after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit, twelve months after the then current expiration date of such Letter of Credit) and (B) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date (unless arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Banks have been entered into).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto Renewal Letters of Credit</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the US Borrower delivered to the applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Revolving Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the US Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Revolving Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. at least five Business Days (or such shorter period as the applicable Issuing Bank and the Revolving Agent may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the currency in which the requested Letter of Credit will be denominated (which must be Dollars, Canadian Dollars, or any other currency agreed to by the US Borrower and the applicable Issuing Bank in its sole discretion) and (H) such other matters as the applicable Issuing Bank may reasonably request. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); and (3) the nature of the proposed amendment. Additionally, the US Borrower shall furnish to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Revolving Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Letter of Credit Documents, as the applicable Issuing Bank or the Revolving Agent may reasonably require.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable Issuing Bank will confirm with the Revolving Agent that the Revolving Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the US Borrower and, if not, the applicable Issuing Bank will provide the Revolving Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by the applicable Issuing Bank of confirmation from the Revolving Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, such Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the US Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the amount of such Letter of Credit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)If the US Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application for a standby Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its reasonable discretion, agree to issue a standby Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an "**Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit**"); *provided* that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit shall permit such Issuing Bank to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the "**Nonrenewal Notice Date**") in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable Issuing Bank, the US Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such Issuing Bank for any such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable Issuing Bank to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; *provided*, *however*, that no Issuing Bank shall (A) permit any such renewal if (1) such Issuing Bank has determined that it would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of <u>clause (ii)</u> or <u>(iii)</u> of <u>Section 2.04(a)</u> or otherwise) or (2) it has received written notice on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Nonrenewal Notice Date from the Revolving Agent that the Required Revolving Lenders have elected not to permit such renewal or (B) be obligated to permit such renewal if it has received written notice on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Nonrenewal Notice Date from the Revolving Agent, any Revolving Lender or the US Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in <u>Section 4.02</u> is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the applicable Issuing Bank not to permit such renewal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable Issuing Bank will also deliver to the US Borrower and the Revolving Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Drawings and Reimbursement; Funding of Participations</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the US Borrower and the Revolving Agent thereof, and such Issuing Bank shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. If an Issuing Bank notifies the US Borrower of any payment by such Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit, then the US Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Bank in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing not later than 3:00 p.m. on the next succeeding Business Day. If the US Borrower fails to so reimburse such Issuing Bank by such time, such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Revolving Agent of such failure and the Revolving Agent shall promptly thereafter notify each Revolving Lender of such payment date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the "**Reimbursement Obligations**") and the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the US Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, to be disbursed on such date in an amount equal to such Reimbursement Obligation, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in <u>Section 2.02(b)</u> for the principal amount of Base Rate

------

Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, to be disbursed on such date in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount of such Reimbursement Obligation. Any notice given by an Issuing Bank or the Revolving Agent pursuant to this <u>clause (i)</u> shall be given in writing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Each Revolving Lender (including each Revolving Lender acting as an Issuing Bank) shall upon any notice pursuant to <u>Section 2.04(c)(i)</u> make funds available (and the Revolving Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable, at the Revolving Agent's Office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the relevant Reimbursement Obligation not later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Revolving Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of <u>Section 2.04(c)(iii)</u>, each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan that is in the case of a Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars, a Base Rate Loan, and, in the case of a Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, a Canadian Prime Rate Loan to the US Borrower in such amount. The Revolving Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable Issuing Bank in accordance with the instructions provided to the Revolving Agent by such Issuing Bank (which instructions may include standing payment instructions, which may be updated from time to time by such Issuing Bank, *provided* that, unless the Revolving Agent shall otherwise agree, any such update shall not take effect until the Business Day immediately following the date on which such update is provided to the Revolving Agent).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)With respect to any Reimbursement Obligation that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Loan Borrowing of Base Rate Loans for Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or Canadian Prime Rate Loans for Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars because the conditions set forth in <u>Section 4.02</u> cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the US Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable Issuing Bank a Letter of Credit Borrowing in the amount of the Reimbursement Obligation that is not so refinanced. In such event, each Revolving Lender's payment to the Revolving Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank pursuant to <u>Section 2.04(c)(i)</u> shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing and shall constitute a Letter of Credit Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)Until each Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit Advance to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of such Issuing Bank.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)Each Revolving Lender's obligations to make Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit Advances to reimburse an Issuing Bank for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this <u>Section 2.04(c)</u>, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against such Issuing Bank, the US Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; *provided* that each Revolving Lender's obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this paragraph (c) is subject to the conditions set forth in <u>Section 4.02</u>. No such funding of a participation in any Letter of Credit shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the US Borrower to reimburse an Issuing Bank for the amount of any payment made by such Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Revolving Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (c) by the time specified in <u>Section 2.04(c)(ii)</u>, then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, such Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Revolving Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Bank at a rate *per annum* equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect and a rate determined by such Issuing Bank in

------

accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, *<u>plus</u>* any reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Issuing Bank in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Revolving Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or Letter of Credit Advance in respect of the relevant Letter of Credit Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the applicable Issuing Bank submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Revolving Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this <u>clause (vi)</u> shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Repayment of Participations</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)If, at any time after the applicable Issuing Bank has made payment in respect of any drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by it and has received from any Revolving Lender its Letter of Credit Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with <u>Section 2.04(c)</u>, the Revolving Agent receives for the account of such Issuing Bank any payment in respect of the related Reimbursement Obligation, the Revolving Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender's Letter of Credit Advance was outstanding) in like funds as received by the Revolving Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)If any payment received by the Revolving Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to <u>Section 2.04(c)(i)</u> is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in <u>Section 11.06</u> (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Issuing Bank in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Revolving Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Revolving Agent, *<u>plus</u>* interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender at a rate *per annum* equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this <u>clause (ii)</u> shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Obligations Absolute</u>. The obligation of the US Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Banks for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit or any term or provision thereof, any Loan Document, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the US Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Banks or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)any payment by an Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit against presentation of documents that do not comply strictly with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by an Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of the US Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit; or

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the US Borrower.

The US Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the US Borrower's instructions or other irregularity, the US Borrower will promptly notify the applicable Issuing Bank. The US Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against any Issuing Bank and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)<u>Role of Issuing Banks</u>. Each Revolving Lender and the US Borrower agrees that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Banks shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any document. None of any Issuing Bank, any Agent Affiliate nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any Issuing Bank shall be liable to any Revolving Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the requisite Revolving Lenders; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. The US Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts of omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; *provided* that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the US Borrower from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Issuing Banks, any Agent Affiliate nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Issuing Banks shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in <u>Section 2.04(e)</u>; *provided* that, notwithstanding anything in such clauses to the contrary, the US Borrower may have a claim against an Issuing Bank, and an Issuing Bank may be liable to the US Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct (as opposed to indirect, special, punitive, consequential or exemplary) damages suffered by the US Borrower which a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final non-appealable judgment were caused by such Issuing Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct or such Issuing Bank's willful or grossly negligent failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a document(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the applicable Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Issuing Banks shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. The Issuing Banks may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communication with a beneficiary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)<u>Applicability of ISP</u>. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and the US Borrower when a standby Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the "International Standby Practices 1998" published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to such standby Letter of Credit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)<u>Conflict with Letter of Credit Application</u>. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)<u>Reporting</u>. No later than the third Business Day following the last day of each month, (or at such other intervals as the Revolving Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank shall agree), the applicable Issuing Bank shall provide to the Revolving Agent a schedule of the Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Revolving Agent, showing the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the account party, the original face amount (if any), the expiration date, and the reference number of any Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during such month, and showing the aggregate amount (if any) payable by the US Borrower to such Issuing Bank during such month.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)<u>[Reserved]</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k)<u>Resignation and Removal of an Issuing Bank</u>. Any Issuing Bank may resign as an Issuing Bank upon sixty days' prior written notice to the Revolving Agent, the Lenders and the US Borrower.

------

Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the US Borrower, the Revolving Agent, the Issuing Bank being replaced (*provided* that no consent will be required if the Issuing Bank being replaced has no Letters of Credit or Reimbursement Obligations with respect thereto outstanding) and the successor Issuing Bank. The Revolving Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement or resignation shall become effective, the US Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank. From and after the effective date of any such replacement or resignation, (i) any successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term "Issuing Bank" shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement or resignation of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced or resigning Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto to the extent that Letters of Credit issued by it remain outstanding and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement or resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l)<u>Cash Collateral Account</u>. At any time and from time to time (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Revolving Agent, at the direction or with the consent of the Required Lenders, may require the US Borrower to deliver to the Revolving Agent such amount of cash as is equal to 103% of the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit at any time outstanding (whether or not any beneficiary under any Letter of Credit shall have drawn or be entitled at such time to draw thereunder) and (ii) in the event of a prepayment under <u>Section 2.07(b)(iv)</u> or to the extent any amount of a required prepayment under any of <u>Sections 2.07(b)(i)</u> through <u>2.07(b)(iii)</u> remains after prepayment of all outstanding Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations and termination of the Commitments, as contemplated by <u>Section 2.07(d)</u>, the Revolving Agent will retain such amount as may then be required to be retained, such amounts in each case under clauses (i) and (ii) above to be held by the Revolving Agent in a Cash Collateral Account. The US Borrower hereby grants (or, if registration thereof is required in any applicable jurisdiction, shall grant) to the Revolving Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Revolving Lenders, a Lien upon and security interest in the Cash Collateral Account and all amounts held therein from time to time as security for Letter of Credit Usage, and for application to the US Borrower's Letter of Credit Obligations as and when the same shall arise. The Revolving Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest on the investment of such amounts in Cash Equivalents, which investments shall be made at the direction of the US Borrower (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the determination as to investments shall be made at the option and in the discretion of the Revolving Agent), amounts in the Cash Collateral Account shall not bear interest. Interest and profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. In the event of a drawing, and subsequent payment by the applicable Issuing Bank, under any Letter of Credit at any time during which any amounts are held in the Cash Collateral Account, the Revolving Agent will deliver to such Issuing Bank an amount equal to the Reimbursement Obligation created as a result of such payment (or, if the amounts so held are less than such Reimbursement Obligation, all of such amounts) to reimburse such Issuing Bank therefor. Any amounts remaining in the Cash Collateral Account after the expiration of all Letters of Credit and reimbursement in full of each Issuing Bank for all of its obligations thereunder shall be held by the Revolving Agent, for the benefit of the US Borrower, to be applied against the Obligations in such order and manner as the Revolving Agent may direct. If the US Borrower is required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to this <u>Section 2.04(l)</u>, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the US Borrower on demand, *provided* that after giving effect to such return (A) the sum of (1) the aggregate principal dollar amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding at such time and (2) the aggregate Letter of Credit Usage at such time would not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments at such time and (B) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time. If the US Borrower is required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to <u>Sections 2.07(b)(i)</u> through <u>2.07(b)(ii)</u>, as contemplated by <u>Section 2.07(d)</u>, such amount shall be returned to the US Borrower on demand; *provided* that, after giving effect to such return, all outstanding Letters of Credit shall have expired and each Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed in full for all of its obligations thereunder. If the US Borrower is required to provide Cash Collateral as a result of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the US Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m)<u>Addition of an Issuing Bank</u>. One or more Revolving Lenders (other than a Defaulting Lender) selected by the US Borrower that agrees to act in such capacity and reasonably acceptable to the Revolving Agent may become an additional Issuing Bank hereunder pursuant to a written agreement in

------

Each such notice must be received by the Applicable Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. one Business Day prior to the date of any conversion of Term SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans or Term CORRA Rate Loans to Canadian Prime Rate Loans and not later than 1:00 p.m. three Business Days prior to the requested date of continuation of any Term SOFR Loans or Term CORRA Rate Loans or any conversion of Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans to Term CORRA Rate Loans. Each notice by a Borrower pursuant to this <u>Section 2.05(a)</u> must be delivered to the Applicable Agent in the form of a Conversion/Continuation Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower. Each conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each conversion to or continuation of Term CORRA Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of Cdn.$1,000,000 or a whole multiple of Cdn.$100,000 in excess thereof. Each conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each conversion to Canadian Prime Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of Cdn.$500,000 or a whole multiple of Cdn.$100,000 in excess thereof. Each Conversion/Continuation Notice shall specify (i) whether the applicable Borrower is requesting a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Term SOFR Loans or Term CORRA Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount and currency of Loans to be converted or continued, (iv) the Class of Loans to be converted or continued, (v) the Type of Loans to which such existing Loans are to be converted, if applicable, and (vi) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If with respect to any Term SOFR Loans or Term CORRA Rate Loans, the applicable Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be converted to Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable. Any such automatic conversion or continuation pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Term SOFR Loans or Term CORRA Rate Loans, as applicable. If the applicable Borrower requests a conversion to, or continuation of Term SOFR Loans or Term CORRA Rate Loans in any such Conversion/Continuation Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Following receipt of a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Applicable Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Class of Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the applicable Borrower, the Applicable Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, or continuation of Loans described in <u>Section 2.05(a)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Except as otherwise provided herein, a Term SOFR Loan or Term CORRA Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Term SOFR Loan or Term CORRA Rate Loan. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Applicable Agent or the Required Lenders may require by notice to the Borrowers that no Loans denominated in Dollars may be converted to or continued as Term SOFR Loans and no loans denominated in Canadian Dollars may be converted to or continued as Term CORRA Rate Loans.

SECTION 2.06<u>Availability</u>. Unless the Applicable Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Applicable Agent such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing, the Applicable Agent may, in its sole discretion, assume that such Lender has made such Pro Rata Share available to the Applicable Agent on the date of such Borrowing, and the Applicable Agent may in its sole discretion, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Applicable Agent shall have so made funds available, then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Applicable Agent, each of such Lender and such Borrower severally agrees to repay to the Applicable Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to such Borrower until the date such amount is

repaid to the Applicable Agent at (a) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the applicable Loans comprising such Borrowing and (b) in the case of such Lender, the Overnight Rate *<u>plus</u>* any administrative, processing, or similar fees customarily charged by the Applicable Agent in accordance with the foregoing. A certificate of the Applicable Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this <u>Section 2.06</u> shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Applicable Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Applicable Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Applicable Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's applicable Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by a Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Applicable Agent. A notice of the Applicable Agent to any Lender or a Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this <u>Section 2.06</u> shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)<u>Revolving Loan Repayments</u>. The US Borrower shall from time to time prepay *first*, the Swing Line Loans and *second*, the Revolving Loans to the extent necessary so that the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments shall not at any time exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect; *provided* that, to the extent such excess amount is greater than the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans and Revolving Loans outstanding immediately prior to the application of such prepayment, the amount so prepaid shall be retained by the Revolving Agent and held in the Cash Collateral Account as cover for Letter of Credit Usage, as more particularly described in <u>Section 2.04(l)</u>, and thereupon such cash shall be deemed to reduce the aggregate Letter of Credit Usage by an equivalent amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)<u>Application of Payments</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A)to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to <u>Section 2.07(b)(ii)</u> (a "**Foreign Disposition**"), the Net Cash Proceeds of any Casualty Event from a Foreign Subsidiary (a "**Foreign Casualty Event**") or Excess Cash Flow of a Foreign Subsidiary are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated or distributed to the United States or Canada, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this <u>Section 2.07(b)</u> but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation or distribution to the United States or Canada, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B)to the extent that the US Borrower has determined in good faith and in consultation with the Administrative Agent that repatriation to the United States or Canada of any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition or any Foreign Casualty Event or any or all of the Excess Cash Flow of a Foreign Subsidiary would have adverse tax consequences (relative to the relevant Foreign Disposition, Foreign Casualty Event or Excess Cash Flow and taking into account any foreign Tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this <u>Section 2.07(b)</u> and may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii)<u>Mandatory Prepayment Procedures; Declining Lenders</u>. The US Borrower shall give notice to the Applicable Agent of any mandatory prepayment of the Loans pursuant to <u>Section 2.07(b)(i)</u>, <u>(ii)</u>, <u>(iii)</u> or <u>(iv)</u> by 11:00 a.m. at least three Business Days prior to the date on which such payment is due. Such notice shall state that the applicable Borrower(s) are offering to

------

make or will make such mandatory prepayment on or before the date specified in <u>Section 2.07(b)(i)</u>, <u>(ii)</u>, <u>(iii)</u> or <u>(iv)</u>, as the case may be (each, a "**Prepayment Date**"). Once given, such notice shall be irrevocable (*provided* that the US Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all or any portion of the applicable Facility or been made in connection with a Disposition, which refinancing or Disposition shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed) and all amounts subject to such notice shall be due and payable on the Prepayment Date (except as otherwise provided in <u>Section 2.07(b)(vi)</u> and in the last sentence of this <u>Section 2.07(b)(vii)</u>). Upon receipt by the Applicable Agent of such notice, the Applicable Agent shall immediately give notice to each Lender of the prepayment, the Prepayment Date and of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the prepayment. Each Lender may elect (in its sole discretion) to decline all (but not less than all) of its Pro Rata Share of any mandatory prepayment (other than a mandatory prepayment required pursuant to <u>Section 2.07(b)(iii)</u>) by giving notice of such election in writing to the Applicable Agent by 11:00 a.m., on the date that is one Business Day prior to such prepayment. If a Lender fails to deliver a notice of election declining receipt of its Pro Rata Share of such mandatory prepayment to the Applicable Agent within the time frame specified above, any such failure will be deemed to constitute an acceptance of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Loans. Upon receipt by the Applicable Agent of such notice, the Applicable Agent, as applicable, shall immediately notify the Borrowers of such election. Any amount so declined by any Lender shall be retained by the Borrowers and the Restricted Subsidiaries and/or applied by a Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries in any manner not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Interest, Funding Losses, Etc</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Application of Prepayment Amounts</u>. In the event that the obligation of the Borrowers to prepay the Loans shall arise pursuant to <u>subsection (b)</u> above (other than <u>subsection (b)(iv)</u>), unless a Specified Revolving Trigger shall have occurred and be continuing:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)*first*, the Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans in the amount of such prepayment obligation within the applicable time periods specified in subsection (b) above, with such prepayment to be applied in the manner set forth in <u>Section 2.07(b)(v)</u>;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)*third*, to the extent of any excess remaining after the prepayment as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above, the Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans, without a corresponding permanent reduction to the Revolving Commitments; and

Each payment or prepayment pursuant to the provisions of <u>Section 2.07(b)</u> shall be applied ratably among the Lenders of each Class holding the Loans being prepaid, in proportion to the principal amount held by each, and shall be applied as among the Term Loans or the Revolving Loans, as the case may be, being prepaid, (A) first, to prepay all Base Rate Loans and Canadian Prime Rate Loans and (B) second, to the extent of any excess remaining after application as provided in clause (A) above, to prepay all Term SOFR Loans and Term CORRA Rate Loans (and as among Term SOFR Loans and Term CORRA Rate Loans, (1) first to prepay those Term SOFR Loans and Term CORRA Rate Loans, if any, having Interest Periods ending on the date of such prepayment, and (2) thereafter, to the extent of any excess remaining

------

after application as provided in clause (1) above, to prepay any Term SOFR Loans and Term CORRA Rate Loans in the order of the expiration dates of the Interest Periods applicable thereto).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Interest Period Deferrals</u>. Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this <u>Section 2.07</u>, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of Term SOFR Loans or Term CORRA Rate Loans is required to be made under this <u>Section 2.07</u> prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, in lieu of making any payment pursuant to this <u>Section 2.07</u> in respect of any such Term SOFR Loan or Term CORRA Rate Loan, prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrowers may, in their sole discretion, deposit an amount sufficient to make any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder together with accrued interest to the last day of such Interest Period into a Cash Collateral Account until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Revolving Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrowers or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this <u>Section 2.07</u>. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrowers or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the outstanding Loans in accordance with the relevant provisions of this <u>Section 2.07</u>.

SECTION 2.08<u>Termination or Reduction of Commitments</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Optional</u>. The Borrowers may, upon written notice to the Applicable Agent, terminate the unused Commitments of any Class, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused Commitments of any Class, in each case without premium or penalty; *provided* that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Applicable Agent three Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire amount thereof and (iii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce (A) the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with <u>Section 2.07</u>, the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments would exceed the total Revolving Commitments, (B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto, (1) the Letter of Credit Usage not fully Cash Collateralized hereunder at 103% of the maximum face amount of any such Letters of Credit would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit or (2) the Letter of Credit Usage with respect to Letters of Credit issued by an applicable Issuing Bank not fully Cash Collateralized hereunder at 103% of the maximum face amount of any such Letters of Credit would exceed the amount of such Issuing Bank's Letter of Credit Percentage of the Letter of Credit Sublimit or (C) the Swing Line Sublimit, if after giving effect to any concurrent payment of Swing Line Loans in accordance with <u>Section 2.07</u>, the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments with respect to Swing Line Loans would exceed the Swing Line Sublimit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers may rescind or postpone any notice of termination of the Commitments if such termination would have resulted from a refinancing of all or a portion of the applicable Facility, which refinancing shall not be consummated or otherwise shall be delayed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Mandatory</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)(A) The Initial Term Loan Commitment of each Lender shall be automatically and permanently reduced to $0 upon the making of such Lender's Initial Term Loans pursuant to <u>Section 2.01(a)</u> and (B) the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)If after giving effect to any reduction or termination of Revolving Commitments under this <u>Section 2.08</u>, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Revolving Commitments at such time, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit, as the case may be, shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Effect of Termination or Reduction</u>. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)After the occurrence of a Specified Event of Default, if any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by a Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to a Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent or any Lender) such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate *per annum* at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

------

All fees referred to in this <u>Section 2.11(b)</u> shall be paid to the Revolving Agent at the Revolving Agent's Office and upon receipt, the Revolving Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)a fronting fee to be agreed by the US Borrower and the applicable Issuing Bank (not to exceed 0.125% *per annum*) *<u>times</u>* the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit if such maximum amount increases periodically pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit) determined as of the close of business on any date of determination; and

Such fees shall be earned, due and payable upon the date of the effectiveness of such Repricing Event; <u>provided</u> that for the avoidance of doubt, no Repricing Premium will be applied to any amount which is refinanced using internally generated funds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, each Lender hereby agrees to waive any amounts payable by the Borrowers pursuant to <u>Section 3.05</u> that would have resulted from a refinancing of this Agreement or a Repricing Event.

SECTION 2.12<u>Computation of Interest and Fees</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans calculated by reference to the "prime rate" or Federal Funds Rate and all computations of interest for Canadian Prime Rate Loans calculated by reference to the Canadian "prime rate" shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All computations of interest for Term CORRA Rate Loans calculated by reference to Adjusted Term CORRA shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; *provided* that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to <u>Section 2.10(a)</u>, bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent and/

------

or the Revolving Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) where in this Agreement a rate of interest is to be calculated on the basis of a year of 360, 365 or 366 days, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate is equivalent is the rate multiplied by the number of days in the year for which the calculation is made and divided by 360, 365 or 366, as applicable, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement, and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields. The Borrowers, for themselves and for and on behalf of the other Loan Parties, hereby irrevocably agree not to plead or assert, whether by way of defense or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to the Loan Documents, that the interest payable under the Loan Documents and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to such Loan Party, whether pursuant to Section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada) or any other applicable Law or legal principle.

SECTION 2.13<u>Evidence of Indebtedness</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Borrowings made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Applicable Agent, acting solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), as non-fiduciary agent for the Borrowers, in each case in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent and each Lender shall be *prima facie* evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Borrowings made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Applicable Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Applicable Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

Upon the request of any Lender, the applicable Borrower(s) shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Applicable Agent) a Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence the relevant Class of such Lender's Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Entries made in good faith by the Applicable Agent in the Register pursuant to <u>Section 2.13(a)</u>, and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to <u>Section 2.13(a)</u>, shall be *prima facie* evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; *provided* that the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 2.14<u>Payments Generally</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)All payments to be made by a Borrower shall be made on the date when due, in immediately available funds without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by a Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Applicable Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent's Office or Revolving Agent's Office, as applicable, for payment and in Same Day Funds not later than 1:00 p.m. (unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent or Revolving Agent, as applicable) on the date specified herein. The Applicable Agent will promptly distribute to each Appropriate Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender's Lending Office; *provided* that the proceeds of any borrowing of Revolving Loans to finance the reimbursement of a drawn Letter of Credit as provided in <u>Section 2.04(c)</u> shall be remitted by the Revolving Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank. All payments received by the Applicable Agent after 1:00 p.m. (or such other time as agreed by the

------

Applicable Agent) may in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)If any payment to be made by a Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Unless the US Borrower has notified the Applicable Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by a Borrower to the Applicable Agent hereunder for the account of any Lender or any Issuing Bank, as applicable, that the applicable Borrower(s) will not make such payment, the Applicable Agent may assume that the applicable Borrower(s) have timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to such Lender or such Issuing Bank. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Applicable Agent in Same Day Funds, then such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall forthwith on demand repay to the Applicable Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender or such Issuing Bank in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Applicable Agent to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, to the date such amount is repaid to the Applicable Agent in Same Day Funds at the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)If any Lender makes available to the Applicable Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this <u>Article II</u>, and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by the Applicable Agent the conditions to the Borrowing set forth in <u>Article IV</u> are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Applicable Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to <u>Section 10.07</u> are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)Whenever any payment received by the Applicable Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Applicable Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Applicable Agent and applied by the Applicable Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in <u>Section 9.03</u>. If the Applicable Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Applicable Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to <u>Section 2.03(c)</u>, <u>2.04(c)</u>, <u>2.06</u>, <u>2.15</u> or <u>10.07</u>, then the Applicable Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Applicable Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Applicable Agent, the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Banks, as applicable, to satisfy such Lender's obligations to the Applicable Agent, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Banks until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Applicable Agent in its discretion.

SECTION 2.15<u>Sharing of Payments, Etc.</u>

------

If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on account of the Loans of a particular Class made by it (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent and/or the Revolving Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them and/or such sub-participations in the participations in L/C obligations or Swing Line Loans held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; *provided* that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in <u>Section 11.06</u> (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each relevant Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender's required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement as in effect from time to time (including <u>Section 2.07(a)(iv)</u> and <u>Section 11.07</u>), (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant permitted hereunder or (C) any payment received by such Lender not in its capacity as a Lender. The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to <u>Section 11.09</u>) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent and/or the Revolving Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this <u>Section 2.15</u> and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this <u>Section 2.15</u> shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

SECTION 2.16<u>Incremental Borrowings</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Notice</u>. At any time and from time to time, on one or more occasions, the Borrowers may, (i) by notice to the Administrative Agent, increase the aggregate principal amount of any outstanding tranche of Term Loans or add one or more additional tranches of term loans under the Loan Documents (including one or more delayed draw term facilities) (the "**Incremental Term Facilities**" and the term loans made thereunder, the "**Incremental Term Loans**") or (ii) by notice to the Revolving Agent, increase the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Commitments or add one or more additional revolving loan facilities under the Loan Documents (the "**Incremental Revolving Facilities**", and the revolving loans and other extensions of credit made thereunder, the "**Incremental Revolving Loans**"; each such increase or tranche pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii), an "**Incremental Facility**" and the loans or other extensions of credit made thereunder, the "**Incremental Loans**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Ranking</u>. Incremental Facilities (i) may rank either *pari passu* or junior in right of payment with any Class of Term Loans (including the Initial Term Loans) and the initial Revolving Commitments, (ii) may either be unsecured or secured (on a *pari passu* or junior basis) by the Collateral (or assets that become Collateral substantially concurrently with the incurrence of such Incremental Term Facility), (iii) may be guaranteed by the Loan Parties (or Persons that become Loan Parties substantially concurrently with the incurrence of such Incremental Term Facility) and (iv) may be secured by assets not constituting Collateral or guaranteed by entities that are Non-Loan Parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Size and Currency</u>. The aggregate principal amount of Incremental Facilities on any date Indebtedness thereunder is first incurred (or, at the option of the US Borrower, commitments with respect

------

thereto are received in the case of any Incremental Term Facility with a delayed draw feature or any Incremental Revolving Facility), together with the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Equivalent Debt and other Incremental Facilities outstanding on such date, will not exceed, an amount equal to,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)the Fixed Incremental Amount, *<u>plus</u>*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the Ratio Amount,

(the sum of the Fixed Incremental Amount and the Ratio Amount, the "**Incremental Amoun**t"); *provided* that, without the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders, the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Revolving Facilities that rank *pari passu* in right of payment with the Revolving Facility in effect on the Closing Date shall not exceed the greater of (A) 100% of Closing Date EBITDA and (B) 100% of TTM Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as of the applicable date of determination. Calculation of the Incremental Amount shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis and evidenced by a certificate from a Responsible Officer of the US Borrower demonstrating such calculation in reasonable detail. Each Incremental Facility will be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser minimum amount approved by the Applicable Agent in its reasonable discretion); *provided* that such amount may be less than such minimum amount or integral multiple amount if such amount represents all the remaining availability under the Incremental Amount at such time. Any Incremental Facility may be denominated in Dollars or in any Alternative Currency (and in the case of any Alternative Currency, the Dollar Amount thereof as of the date of incurrence (or, in the case of an LCT Election, as of the applicable LCT Test Date) shall be controlling for purposes of determining compliance with the Incremental Amount, and the minimum amount and integral multiples shall be a Dollar Amount of $5,000,000 or $1,000,000, respectively (or, in each case, such lesser minimum amount approved by the Applicable Agent in its reasonable discretion)).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Incremental Lenders</u>. Incremental Facilities may be provided by any existing Lender (it being understood that no existing Lender shall have an obligation to make, or provide commitments with respect to, an Incremental Loan) or by any Additional Lender. While existing Lenders may (but are not obligated to unless invited to and so elect) participate in any syndication of an Incremental Facility and may (but are not obligated to unless invited to and so elect) become lenders with respect thereto, the existing Lenders will not have any right to participate in any syndication of, and will not have any right of first refusal or other right to provide all or any portion of, any Incremental Facility or Incremental Loan except to the extent the Borrowers and the arrangers thereof, if any, in their discretion, chose to invite or include any such existing Lender (which may or may not apply to all existing Lenders and may or may not be pro rata among existing Lenders); *provided* that (x) the opportunity to provide any Incremental Revolving Facility shall first be offered to the then-existing Revolving Lenders before being offered to Additional Lenders and (y) if the then-existing Revolving Lenders do not agree to provide all or a portion of such Incremental Revolving Facility within five Business Days of such offer, the Borrowers may invite other Additional Lender(s) to provide all or any potion of such Incremental Revolving Facility, which Additional Lender(s) shall be subject to the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders (subject consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Final allocations in respect of Incremental Facilities will be made by the Borrower together with the arrangers thereof, if any, in their discretion, on the terms permitted by this <u>Section 2.16</u>; *provided* that the lenders providing the Incremental Facilities will be reasonably acceptable to (i) the US Borrower and (ii) solely with respect to any Incremental Revolving Facility, the Revolving Agent, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Bank (except that, in the case of clause (ii), only to the extent such Person otherwise would have a consent right to an assignment of such loans or commitments to such lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). For the avoidance of doubt, any Affiliated Lender that provides any Incremental Loans shall be subject to the limitations on Affiliated Lenders set forth in <u>Section 11.07(h)</u> (including the Affiliated Lender Term Loan Cap, as applicable).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Incremental Facility Amendments; Use of Proceeds</u>. Each Incremental Facility will become effective pursuant to an amendment (each, an "**Incremental Amendment**") to this Agreement

------

and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrowers and each Person providing such Incremental Facility and delivered to the Applicable Agent; *provided*, that, for the avoidance of doubt, no consent, signature or acknowledgement shall be required from the Agents (except to the extent such documentation adversely impacts the Applicable Agent). The Applicable Agent will promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Amendment. Incremental Amendments may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Borrowers, to effect the provisions of this <u>Section 2.16</u> and, to the extent practicable, to make an Incremental Loan fungible (including for Tax purposes) with other Loans (subject to the limitations under <u>sub-clauses (g)</u> and <u>(h)</u> of this Section) to the extent practicable. Without limiting the foregoing, an Incremental Amendment may (i) extend or add "call protection" to any existing tranche of Term Loans, including amendments pursuant to <u>Section 2.11(e)</u>, and (ii) amend the schedule of amortization payments relating to any existing tranche of Term Loans, including amendments to <u>Section 2.09(a)</u> (*provided*, that any such amendment shall not decrease any amortization payment to any Lender that would have otherwise been payable to such Lender prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Amendment), in the case of each clause (i) and (ii), so that such Incremental Term Loans and the applicable existing Term Loans form the same Class of Term Loans. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as applicable, will be amended to the extent necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Facility and the Incremental Loans evidenced thereby. This <u>Section 2.16</u> shall supersede any provisions in <u>Section 2.15</u> or <u>11.01</u> to the contrary. The Borrowers may use the proceeds of the Incremental Loans for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)<u>Conditions</u>. The availability of Incremental Facilities under this Agreement will be subject solely to the following conditions and any other conditions required by the Lenders providing such Incremental Facility, subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to <u>Section 1.08</u>, measured on the date of the initial borrowing under such Incremental Facility (or, at the Borrowers' sole option, on the date of the receipt of commitments with respect to such Incremental Facility):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom; *provided* that the condition set forth in this <u>clause (i)</u> may be waived or not required (other than with respect to Specified Events of Default) by the Persons providing such Incremental Facilities; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the representations and warranties in the Loan Documents will be true and correct in all material respects (except for representations and warranties that are already qualified by materiality, which representations and warranties will be true and correct in all respects) immediately prior to, and after giving effect to, the incurrence of such Incremental Facility; *provided* that the condition set forth in this <u>clause (ii)</u> may be waived or not required (other than with respect to the Specified Representations) by the Persons providing such Incremental Facilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)<u>Terms</u>. Each Incremental Amendment will set forth the amount and terms of the relevant Incremental Facility. The terms of each Incremental Facility will be as agreed between the Borrowers and the Persons providing such Incremental Facility; *provided* that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)the final maturity date of (x) any such Incremental Term Loans that are syndicated term loans will be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date of the Initial Term Loans; *provided* that this clause shall not apply to the incurrence of any Incremental Term Loans pursuant to the Inside Maturity Exception, and (y) any such Incremental Revolving Facility will be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date of then outstanding Revolving Loans;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any such Incremental Term Loans that are syndicated term loans will be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Initial Term Loans; *provided* that this clause shall not apply to the incurrence of any Incremental Term Loans pursuant to the Inside Maturity Exception;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)any mandatory prepayment of such Incremental Term Loans may participate on a *pro rata* basis or a less than *pro rata* basis in any corresponding required mandatory repayments of the Initial Term Loans, but not on a greater than *pro rata* basis to the Initial Term Loans (other than (A) any repayment of such Incremental Term Loans at maturity, (B) any repayment of

------

Incremental Term Loans incurred pursuant to the Inside Maturity Exception and (C) any greater than *pro rata* repayment of such Incremental Term Loans with the proceeds of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness); *provided* that this clause shall not apply to the incurrence of any Incremental Term Loans pursuant to the Inside Maturity Exception;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)(A) to the extent secured by a Lien on the Collateral, such Incremental Term Facilities or Incremental Revolving Facilities, as applicable, shall not be secured by any Lien on any property or asset of the Borrowers or any Guarantor that does not also secure the Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as applicable, at the time of such incurrence (except (1) customary cash collateral in favor of an agent, letter of credit issuer or similar "fronting" lender, (2) Liens on property or assets applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date of the Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as applicable, at the time of incurrence, (3) any Liens on property or assets to the extent that a Lien on such property or asset is also added for the benefit of the Lenders under the Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as applicable, and (e) if such Incremental Term Facilities or Incremental Revolving Facilities, as applicable, are solely secured by assets not constituting Collateral) and (B) if such Incremental Term Facilities or Incremental Revolving Facilities, as applicable, are guaranteed by a Subsidiary Guarantor, are not also guaranteed by any Subsidiary other than a Subsidiary Guarantor (or becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor in connection therewith) (except (1) for guarantees by other Persons that are applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date of the Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as applicable, at the time of incurrence and (2) any such Person incurring or guaranteeing such Incremental Term Facilities or Incremental Revolving Facilities, as applicable, that also guarantees the Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as applicable);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)if such Incremental Loans are Pari Passu Lien Debt, unless otherwise consented to by the Required Lenders and the Required Revolving Lenders, payments in respect of such Incremental Loans shall be subject to the Priority Waterfall or another agreement with substantially equivalent provisions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)except as otherwise set forth herein, all terms of any Incremental Revolving Facility (to the extent such Incremental Revolving Facility is an increase in Revolving Commitments under the Revolving Facility) shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation applicable to the Revolving Facility and all other terms of any Incremental Facility shall be on terms (including subordination terms, if applicable) and pursuant to documentation to be determined by the Borrowers and the providers of the Incremental Term Facility; *provided* that the operational and agency provisions contained in such documentation shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Applicable Agent and the Borrowers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii)such Incremental Loans are not contractually subordinated or junior in right of payment to the Obligations in respect of the Revolving Facility (including, without limitation, by virtue of operation of a "waterfall" provision, "first-in" or "last-out" provision, or any similar provision) (it being understood and agreed that Indebtedness shall not be considered contractually subordinated or junior in right of payment solely because it is unsecured or secured by Liens junior in priority to the Liens securing other Indebtedness) and senior in right of payment (contractually or otherwise) to the Initial Term Loans (including, without limitation, by virtue of operation of a "waterfall" provision, "first-in" or "last-out" provision, or any similar provision).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)<u>Pricing</u>. The interest rate, fees and OID for any Incremental Term Loans will be as determined by the Borrowers and the Persons providing such Incremental Term Loans; *provided* that in the event that the interest rate margins applicable to any Incremental Term Loans (other than any Excluded Incremental Term Loan) that are incurred during the first six months following the Closing Date and are (x) secured on a *pari passu* basis with the Initial Term Loans and (y) *pari passu* in right of payment with the Initial Term Loans, exceed the interest rate margins (taking into account the leverage-based pricing grid therein and any comparable leverage-based pricing grid applicable to such Incremental Term Loans) for the Initial Term Loans by more than 75 basis points, then the interest rate margins for the Initial Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that such interest rate margins for such Term Loans is equal to the All-In Yield for such Incremental Term Loans *<u>minus</u>* 75 basis points.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)<u>Adjustments to Revolving Loans</u>. Upon each increase in the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this <u>Section 2.16</u>,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)each Revolving Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each lender providing a portion of such increase (each an "**Incremental Revolving Facility Lender**"), and each such Incremental Revolving Facility Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Lender's participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (1) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (2) participations hereunder in Swing Line Loans held by each Revolving Lender will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Commitments of all Lenders represented by such Revolving Lender's Revolving Commitments; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)if, on the date of such increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding, such Revolving Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Incremental Revolving Facility be prepaid from the proceeds of Incremental Revolving Loans made hereunder (reflecting such increase in Revolving Commitments), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Revolving Lender in accordance with <u>Section 3.05</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)The Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, *pro rata* borrowing and *pro rata* payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to this <u>Section 2.16</u>.

SECTION 2.17<u>Refinancing Amendments</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Refinancing Loans</u>. The Borrowers may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of all or any portion of the Term Loans or Revolving Loans and commitments then outstanding under this Agreement, in the form of Refinancing Loans or Refinancing Commitments made pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment, provided that the Borrowers may only obtain Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of all (and not only a portion) of the Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments held by a Revolving Lender unless such Revolving Lender otherwise consents in writing to the Borrowers obtaining Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of a portion of the Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments held by such Revolving Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Refinancing Amendments</u>. The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment will be subject only to the satisfaction on the date thereof of such conditions as may be requested by the providers of applicable Refinancing Loans or Refinancing Commitments. The Administrative Agent and/or the Revolving Agent, as applicable, will promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement will be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Refinancing Loans and Refinancing Commitments incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Term Loans or Revolving Loans subject thereto as Refinancing Term Loans or Refinancing Revolving Loans, respectively).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Required Consents</u>. Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any Person other than the Borrowers and the Persons providing the applicable Refinancing Loans, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Borrowers, to effect the provisions of this <u>Section 2.17</u>. For the avoidance of doubt, no consent, signature or acknowledgement shall be required from the Agents (except to the extent such documentation adversely impacts the Applicable Agent). The Borrowers shall provide the Agents prompt written notice of any Extension Amendment pursuant to this <u>Section 2.17</u>. This <u>Section 2.17</u> supersedes any provisions in <u>Section 11.01</u> to the contrary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Providers of Refinancing Loans</u>. Refinancing Loans may be provided by any existing Lender (it being understood that no existing Lender shall have an obligation to make all or any portion of any Refinancing Loan) or by any Additional Lender (subject to <u>Section 11.07(h)</u>). The lenders providing the Refinancing Loans will be reasonably acceptable to the (i) Borrowers, (ii) the Applicable Agent and (iii) solely with respect to any Refinancing Revolving Loans, each Issuing Bank (except that, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), only to the extent such Person otherwise would have a consent right to an

assignment of such loans or commitments to such lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

SECTION 2.18<u>Extensions of Loans</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Extension Offers</u>. Pursuant to one or more offers (each, an "**Extension Offer**") made from time to time by the applicable Borrower(s) to all of the Lenders holding Loans and/or Commitments of a particular Class with a like Maturity Date, such Borrower(s) may extend such Maturity Date and otherwise modify the terms of such Loans and/or Commitments pursuant to the terms set forth in an Extension Offer (each, an "**Extension**"). Each Extension Offer will specify the minimum amount of Loans and/or Commitments with respect to which an Extension Offer may be accepted, which will be an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000, or, if less, (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Class of Loans outstanding or (ii) such lesser minimum amount as is approved by the Applicable Agent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Extension Offers will be made on a *pro rata* basis to all Lenders holding Loans and/or Commitments of a particular Class with a like Maturity Date. If the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) and/or Commitments in respect of which Lenders have accepted an Extension Offer exceeds the maximum aggregate principal amount of Loans and/or Commitments offered to be extended pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Loans and/or Commitments of such Lenders will be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer. There is no requirement that any Extension Offer or Extension Amendment (defined as follows) be subject to any "most favored nation" pricing provisions. The terms of an Extension Offer shall be determined by the Borrowers, and Extension Offers may contain one or more conditions to their effectiveness, including a condition that a minimum amount of Loans and/or Commitments of any or all applicable tranches be tendered.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Extension Amendments</u>. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Applicable Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (an "**Extension Amendment**") as may be necessary or appropriate in order to establish new tranches in respect of Extended Loans and Extended Commitments and such amendments as permitted by <u>clause (c)</u> below as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Borrowers, in connection with the establishment of such new tranches of Loans; *provided*, that, for the avoidance of doubt, no consent, signature or acknowledgment shall be required from any Agent (except to the extent such documentation adversely impacts the such Agent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall provide the Agents prompt written notice of any Extension Amendment pursuant to this <u>Section 2.18</u>. This <u>Section 2.18</u> shall supersede any provisions in <u>Section 2.15</u> or <u>11.01</u> to the contrary. Except as otherwise set forth in an Extension Offer, there will be no conditions to the effectiveness of an Extension Amendment. Extensions will not constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Terms of Extension Offers and Extension Amendments</u>. The terms of any Extended Loans and Extended Commitments will be set forth in an Extension Offer and as agreed between the Borrowers and the Extending Lenders accepting such Extension Offer; *provided* that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)the final maturity date of such Extended Loans and Extended Commitments will be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date applicable to the Loans and/or Commitments subject to such Extension Offer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Loans that are Term Loans will be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)any Extended Loans that are Term Loans may participate on a *pro rata* basis or a less than *pro rata* basis (but not greater than a *pro rata* basis) in any mandatory repayments or prepayments of Term Loans other than any repayment of such Extended Loans at maturity or with the proceeds of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness.

Any Extended Loans will constitute a separate tranche of Term Loans and/or Revolving Loans from the Term Loans and/or Revolving Loans held by Lenders that did not accept the applicable Extension Offer.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Extension of Revolving Commitments</u>. In the case of any Extension of Revolving Commitments and/or Revolving Loans, the following shall apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)all borrowings and all prepayments of Revolving Loans shall continue to be made on a ratable basis among all Revolving Lenders, based on the relative amounts of their Revolving Commitments, until the repayment of the Revolving Loans attributable to the non-extended Revolving Commitments on the relevant Maturity Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the allocation of the participation exposure with respect to any then-existing or subsequently issued or made Letter of Credit or Swing Line Loan as between the Revolving Commitments of such new tranche and the remaining Revolving Commitments shall be made on a ratable basis in accordance with the relative amounts thereof until the Maturity Date relating to such non-extended Revolving Commitments has occurred;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)no termination of extended Revolving Commitments and no repayment of extended Revolving Loans accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction in extended Revolving Commitments shall be permitted unless such termination or repayment (and corresponding reduction) is accompanied by at least a *pro rata* termination or permanent repayment (and corresponding *pro rata* permanent reduction), as applicable, of each other tranche of Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments (or each other tranche of Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans shall have otherwise been terminated and repaid in full);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)the Maturity Date with respect to the Revolving Commitments may not be extended without the prior written consent of each Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)at no time shall there be more than five different tranches of Revolving Commitments.

If the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments exceeds the Revolving Commitment as a result of the occurrence of the Maturity Date with respect to any tranche of Revolving Commitments while an extended tranche of Revolving Commitments remains outstanding, the US Borrower shall make such payments as are necessary in order to eliminate such excess on such Maturity Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Required Consents</u>. No consent of any Lender or any other Person will be required to effectuate any Extension, other than the consent of the Applicable Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Borrowers and the applicable Extending Lender. The transactions contemplated by this <u>Section 2.18</u> (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) will not require the consent of any other Lender or any other Person, and the requirements of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this <u>Section 2.18</u> will not apply to any of the transactions effected pursuant to this <u>Section 2.18</u>.

SECTION 2.19<u>Permitted Debt Exchanges</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers made to all Lenders holding outstanding Loans in a particular Class (each, a "**Permitted Debt Exchange Offer**") made from time to time by the Borrowers, the Borrowers may from time to time following the Closing Date consummate one or more exchanges of Term Loans for Permitted Debt Exchange Notes (each such exchange a "**Permitted Debt Exchange**") with any Lender (other than any Lender that, if requested by the Borrowers, is unable to certify that it is either a "qualified institutional buyer" (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or an institutional "accredited investor" (as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act)), so long as the following conditions are satisfied: (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the final offering document in respect of a Permitted Debt Exchange Offer is delivered to the relevant Lenders, (ii) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Term Loans exchanged shall equal no more than the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Permitted Debt Exchange Notes issued in exchange for such Term Loans; *provided* that the aggregate principal amount of the Permitted Debt Exchange Notes may include accrued interest and premium (if any) under the Term Loans exchanged and underwriting discounts, fees, commissions and expenses in connection with the issuance

------

of such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes, (iii) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans exchanged by the Borrowers pursuant to any Permitted Debt Exchange shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the Borrowers on the date of the settlement thereof (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, any applicable exchanging Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, or such other form as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, in respect thereof pursuant to which the respective Lender assigns its interest in the Term Loans being exchanged pursuant to the Permitted Debt Exchange to the applicable Borrower(s) for immediate cancellation), (iv) if the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) tendered by Lenders in respect of the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer (with no Lender being permitted to tender a principal amount of Term Loans which exceeds the principal amount thereof actually held by it) shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of such Term Loans offered to be exchanged by the Borrowers pursuant to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer, then the Borrowers shall exchange Term Loans subject to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer tendered by such Lenders ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts so tendered, (v) all documentation in respect of such Permitted Debt Exchange shall be consistent with the foregoing, and all written communications generally directed to the Lenders in connection therewith shall be in form and substance consistent with the foregoing and made in consultation with the Borrowers and the Exchange Agent and (vi) any applicable Minimum Tender Condition (as defined below) shall be satisfied.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)With respect to all Permitted Debt Exchanges effected by the Borrowers pursuant to this <u>Section 2.19</u>, (i) such Permitted Debt Exchanges (and the cancellation of the exchanged Term Loans in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of <u>Section 2.07(a)</u> or <u>(b)</u>, and (ii) such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall be made for not less than $5,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Term Loans; *provided* that subject to the foregoing <u>clause (ii)</u> the Borrowers may at their election specify as a condition (a "**Minimum Tender Condition**") to consummating any such Permitted Debt Exchange that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer in the Borrowers' discretion) of Term Loans of any or all applicable classes be tendered.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)In connection with each Permitted Debt Exchange, the Borrowers and the Exchange Agent shall mutually agree to such procedures as may be necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this <u>Section 2.19</u> and without conflict with <u>Section 2.19(d)</u>; *provided* that the terms of any Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall provide that the date by which the relevant Lenders are required to indicate their election to participate in such Permitted Debt Exchange shall be not less than a reasonable period (in the discretion of the Borrowers and the Exchange Agent) of time following the date on which the Permitted Debt Exchange Offer is made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)The Borrowers shall be responsible for compliance with, and hereby agree to comply with, all applicable securities and other laws and regulations in connection with each Permitted Debt Exchange, it being understood and agreed that (x) none of the Exchange Agent, the Administrative Agent nor any Lender assumes any responsibility in connection with the Borrowers' compliance with such laws and regulations in connection with any Permitted Debt Exchange (other than the Borrowers' reliance on any certificate delivered pursuant to <u>Section 2.19(a)</u> above for which such Lender shall bear sole responsibility) and (y) each Lender shall be solely responsible for its compliance with any applicable "insider trading" laws and regulations to which such Lender may be subject under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and/or other applicable securities laws and regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)If the Exchange Agent is not the Administrative Agent, the actions authorized to be taken by the Exchange Agent herein shall be done in consultation with the Administrative Agent and, with respect to the preparation of any documentation necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this <u>Section 2.19</u>, any comments to such documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent shall be reflected therein.

SECTION 2.20<u>Defaulting Lenders</u>.

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

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)<u>Defaulting Lender Waterfall</u>. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Agent, as applicable, for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to <u>Article IX</u> or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Agent, as applicable, from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to <u>Section 11.09</u> shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Agent, as applicable, as follows: *first*, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Agent, as applicable hereunder; *second*, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to each Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender hereunder; *third*, to Cash Collateralize each Issuing Bank's Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit (in an amount equal to 103% of the maximum face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit) or the Swing Line Lender's Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with <u>Section 2.20(d)</u>; *fourth*, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Agent, as applicable; *fifth*, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Agent, as applicable, and the Borrowers, to be held in a Cash Collateral Account and released *pro rata* in order to (A) satisfy such Defaulting Lender's potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (B) Cash Collateralize each Issuing Bank's (in an amount equal to 103% of the maximum face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit) or the Swing Line Lender's future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans, as applicable, issued under this Agreement, in accordance with <u>Section 2.20(d)</u>; *sixth*, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; *seventh*, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by a Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and *eighth*, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; *provided* that if (1) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Reimbursement Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (2) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in <u>Section 4.02</u> were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a *pro rata* basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable Commitments without giving effect to <u>Section 2.20(a)(iii)</u>. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this <u>Section 2.20(a)(i)</u> shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)<u>Certain Fees</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A)No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee pursuant to <u>Section 2.11(b)</u> for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender); *provided* such Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive fees pursuant to <u>Section 2.11(b)(ii)</u> for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Pro Rata Share of the Stated Amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to <u>Section 2.04</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B)With respect to any fees not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to <u>clause (A)</u> above, the US Borrower shall (1) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with

------

respect to such Defaulting Lender's participation in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to <u>clause (iii)</u> below, (2) pay to each Issuing Bank the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank's Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (3) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)<u>Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure</u>. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender's participation in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender's Commitment) but only to the extent that (A) the conditions set forth in <u>Section 4.02</u> are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrowers shall have otherwise notified the Revolving Agent, at such time, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (B) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender's Revolving Commitment. Subject to <u>Section 11.25</u>, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender's increased exposure following such reallocation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)<u>Cash Collateral</u>. If the reallocation described in <u>clause (iii)</u> above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the US Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize Issuing Bank's Fronting Exposure (in an amount equal to 103% of the maximum face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit) in accordance with the procedures set forth in <u>Section 2.04</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Defaulting Lender Cure</u>. If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent and the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent and/or the Revolving Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent and/or the Revolving Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the applicable Commitments (without giving effect to <u>Section 2.04</u>) whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; *provided* that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of a Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; *provided further*, 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>New Swing Line Loans/Letters of Credit</u>. So long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan and (ii) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend or amend any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Cash Collateral</u>. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender and <u>Section 2.20(a)(iv)</u> is applicable, within one Business Day following the written request of the Revolving Agent, any Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Revolving Agent) or the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Revolving Agent), the US Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the applicable Issuing Bank's Fronting Exposure or the Swing Line Lender's Fronting Exposure, as the case may be, with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to <u>Section 2.04</u> and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)<u>Grant of Security Interest</u>. The US Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Revolving Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender), and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lender's obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans, to be applied pursuant to <u>clause (ii)</u> below. If at any time the Administrative Agent

------

determines that the Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Revolving Lenders as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the US Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)<u>Application</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (A) Cash Collateral provided under this <u>Section 2.20</u> in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender's obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein and (B) Cash Collateral provided under this <u>Section 2.20</u> in respect of Swing Line Loans shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender's obligations to fund participations in respect of Swing Line Loans (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)<u>Termination of Requirement</u>. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Bank's or the Swing Line Lender's Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this <u>Section 2.20</u> following (A) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender) or (B) the determination by the Revolving Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, that there exists excess Cash Collateral; *provided* that, subject to the other provisions of this <u>Section 2.20</u>, the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, may agree that the Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations; *provided further* that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the US Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Hedge Banks</u>. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Lender shall not be a Hedge Bank with respect to any Secured Hedge Agreement entered into while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.21<u>Judgment Currency</u>.

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

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

SECTION 2.22<u>Designated Borrowers</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Designated Borrowers</u>. The Borrowers may at any time, upon not less than fifteen (15) Business Days' notice from either Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Agent in writing in its sole discretion), designate any additional direct or indirect wholly owned Restricted Subsidiary of the

Borrowers that is a Domestic Subsidiary (an "**Applicant Borrower**") as a Designated Borrower to receive Loans hereunder by delivering to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Agent (which shall promptly deliver counterparts thereof to each Term Loan Lender or Revolving Lender, respectively) a duly executed Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to (or concurrently with) any Applicant Borrower becoming entitled to utilize the credit facilities provided for herein (i) such Applicant Borrower shall have guaranteed the Obligations and pledged (or will concurrently pledge) its assets constituting Collateral to secure the Obligations (consistent with existing Subsidiaries that then constitute a Borrower), (ii) the direct parent of such Applicant Borrower shall have pledged (or will concurrently pledge) 100% of the Equity Interests in such Applicant Borrower to secure the Obligations, (iii) the Applicant Borrower shall have executed joinder documents, new Guarantees and/or new security documents, on terms consistent with the closing documentation, guaranteeing and securing all or a portion of the Obligations as required hereby, in each case, satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Agent and (iv) the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Agent shall have received such supporting resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel located in the applicable jurisdictions, and other documents or information, Patriot Act and "know your customer" information and other documents or information, in form, content and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent and the Lenders providing Loans to such Applicant Borrower, as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent and the Lenders providing Loans to such Applicant Borrower (the requirements in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), the "**Designated Borrower Requirements**"). If the Designated Borrower Requirements are met, the Administrative Agent shall send a Designated Borrower Notice to the Company and the Lenders specifying the effective date upon which the Applicant Borrower shall constitute a Designated Borrower for purposes hereof, whereupon each of the Lenders agrees to permit such Designated Borrower to receive Loans hereunder, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and each of the parties hereto agrees that such Designated Borrower otherwise shall be a Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement; <u>provided</u> that no Loan Notice or Letter of Credit Application may be submitted by or on behalf of such Designated Borrower until the date five (5) Business Days after such effective date.

Except as specifically provided herein, the Obligations of the US Borrower, the Canadian Borrower and each Subsidiary constituting a Borrower shall be joint and several in nature regardless of which such Person actually receives extensions of credit hereunder or the amount of such extensions of credit received or the manner in which the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender accounts for such extensions of credit on its books and records.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Appointment</u>. Each Subsidiary of the Borrowers that is or becomes a "Designated Borrower" pursuant to this <u>Section 2.22</u> hereby irrevocably appoints the US Borrower to act as its agent for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and agrees that (i) the US Borrower may execute such documents on behalf of such Designated Borrower as the US Borrower deems appropriate in its sole discretion and each Designated Borrower shall be obligated by all of the terms of any such document executed on its behalf, (ii) any notice or communication delivered by the Administrative Agent or the Lender to the US Borrower shall be deemed delivered to each Designated Borrower and (iii) the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may accept, and be permitted to rely on, any document, instrument or agreement executed by the US Borrower on behalf of each of the Loan Parties.

SECTION 3.01<u>Taxes</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Except as required by applicable Law, any and all payments by the Borrowers or any Guarantor to or for the account of any Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges imposed by any Governmental Authority, and all liabilities (including additions to tax, penalties and interest) with respect thereto ("**Taxe**s"). The following shall be "**Excluded Taxes**": in the case of each Agent, each Lender and Issuing Bank, (i) Taxes imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated, and including branch profits and similar Taxes), and franchise or similar Taxes, in each case, that are (A) imposed by the jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Agent, Lender or Issuing

Bank is organized or in which its principal office is located or, in the case of any Lender, in which its applicable Lending Office is located, or (B) Other Connection Taxes, (ii) any U.S. federal Tax that is (or would be) required to be withheld with respect to amounts payable hereunder in respect of an Eligible Assignee (pursuant to an assignment under <u>Section 11.07</u>) on the date it becomes an assignee to the extent such Tax is in excess of the Tax that would have been applicable had such assigning Lender not assigned its interest arising under any Loan Document (unless such assignment is at the express written request of the Borrowers), (iii) U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of a Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank with respect to an applicable interest in a Loan or Commitment pursuant to a Law in effect on the date on which (A) such Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank acquires such interest in the Loan or Commitment (other than pursuant to an assignment request by the Borrowers under <u>Section 3.07</u>) or (B) such Lender changes its Lending Office (other than at the written request of the Borrowers to change such Lending Office), except in each case to the extent that pursuant to this <u>Section 3.01</u>, amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable to such Lender's, Agent's or Issuing Bank's assignor immediately before such Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank became a party hereto, or to such Lender immediately before it changed its Lending Office, <u>provided</u> that, for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this clause (ii), in the case of an interest in a Loan acquired by a Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank pursuant to the funding of a Commitment, such Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank (as applicable) shall be treated as acquiring such interest on the date such Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank (as applicable) acquired an interest in the Commitment pursuant to which such Loan was funded., (iv) any Canadian federal withholding Taxes imposed on any payment under any Loan Document as a result of having been made to a Recipient that, at the time of making such payment, (A) is a Person with which a Loan Party does not deal at arm's length (for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada)), (B) is a "specified non-resident shareholder" (as defined in subsection 18(5) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) of a Loan Party or does not deal at arm's length (for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) with a "specified shareholder" (as defined in subsection 18(5) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) of a Loan Party, or (C) is an entity in respect of which a Loan Party is a "specified entity" (as defined in subsection 18.4(1) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) (other than in the case of (A), (B) or (C)) where the non-arm's length relationship arises, or where the Recipient is a "specified non-resident shareholder" or does not deal at arm's length with a "specified shareholder", or in respect of which a Loan Party is a "specified entity", as a result of the Recipient having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to, or received or enforced any rights under, any Loan Document), (v) any Taxes imposed as a result of the failure of any Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank to comply with the provisions of <u>Sections 3.01(b)</u>, <u>3.01(c)</u>, <u>3.01(d)</u> and <u>3.01(e)</u>, as applicable, and (vi) any Taxes imposed on any amount payable to or for the account of any Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank as a result of the failure of such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank to satisfy the applicable requirements under FATCA to establish that such payment is exempt from withholding under FATCA. If an applicable Withholding Agent is required by applicable Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes or Other Taxes (as defined below) from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, (i) except in the case of Excluded Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all such required deductions or withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this <u>Section 3.01(a)</u>), each of such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deductions or withholdings, (iii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority, and (iv) within thirty days after the date of any such payment of Taxes by a Borrower or any Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.01 (or, if receipts or evidence are not available within thirty days, as soon as practicable thereafter), the applicable Borrower or applicable Guarantor shall furnish to such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and/or the Revolving Agent). 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Each Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (including an Eligible Assignee to which a Lender assigns its interest in accordance with <u>Section 11.07</u>, unless such Eligible Assignee is already a Lender hereunder) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and Applicable Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Applicable Agent, such properly completed and executed

------

documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Applicable Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Agent, Lender, Issuing Bank or Eligible Assignee if reasonably requested by the Borrowers, the Revolving Agent and/or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers, the Revolving Agent and/or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers, the Revolving Agent and/or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Agent, Lender, Issuing Bank or Eligible Assignee is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth below in this <u>paragraph (b)</u> and in <u>paragraphs (d)</u> and <u>(e)</u> of this <u>Section 3.01</u>) shall not be required if in such Lender's, Agent's, Issuing Bank's or Eligible Assignee's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Agent, Lender, Issuing Bank or Eligible Assignee to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent it is legally able to do so, each Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (including an Eligible Assignee to which a Lender assigns its interest in accordance with <u>Section 11.07</u>, unless such Eligible Assignee is already a Lender hereunder) that is not a "United States person" within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each, a "**Foreign Lender**") agrees to complete and deliver to the Borrowers and the Applicable Agent on or prior to the date on which the Foreign Lender becomes a party hereto (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers, the Revolving Agent or the Administrative Agent), two accurate, complete and signed copies of whichever of the following is applicable: (i) IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E certifying that it is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party; (ii) IRS Form W-8ECI certifying that the income receivable pursuant to any Loan Document is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States; (iii) if the Foreign Lender is not (A) a "bank" described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a "10-percent shareholder" of the applicable Borrower described in Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a "controlled foreign corporation" related to the applicable Borrower within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code, a certificate to that effect in substantially the form attached hereto as <u>Exhibit G</u> (a "**Non-Bank Certificate**") and an IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, certifying that the Foreign Lender is not a United States person; (iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Foreign Lender, accompanied by, as and to the extent applicable, an IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8ECI, Non-Bank Certificate, IRS Form W-9, IRS Form W-8IMY (or other successor forms) and any other required supporting information from each beneficial owner (it being understood that a Foreign Lender need not provide certificates or supporting documentation from beneficial owners if (A) the Foreign Lender is a "qualified intermediary" or "withholding foreign partnership" for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (B) such Foreign Lender is as a result able to establish, and does establish, that payments to such Foreign Lender are, to the extent applicable, entitled to an exemption from or, if an exemption is not available, a reduction in the rate of, U.S. federal withholding Taxes without providing such certificates or supporting documentation); or (v) any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of U.S. federal income tax Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable requirements of Law to permit the Borrowers, the Revolving Agent and/or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)In addition, each Agent, Lender, Issuing Bank or Eligible Assignee shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so (and shall promptly notify the Borrowers and Applicable Agent in writing of any legal inability to do so), (i) promptly submit to the Borrowers and the Applicable Agent two accurate, complete and signed copies of such other or additional, or updated, forms, certificates or evidence (or such successor forms, certificates or required evidence as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant taxing authorities) as may then be required, or otherwise applicable or available, to secure an exemption from or reduction in the rate or amount of withholding Tax (1) on or before the date that such Agent's, Lender's, Issuing Bank's or Eligible Assignee's most recently delivered form, certificate or other evidence expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, (2) after the occurrence of a change in such Agent's, Lender's, Issuing Bank's or Eligible Assignee's circumstances requiring a change in the most recent form, certificate or evidence previously delivered by it to the Borrowers and/or the Applicable Agent, and (3) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrowers, the Revolving Agent or the Administrative Agent, and (ii) promptly notify the Borrowers, the Revolving

------

Agent and/or the Administrative Agent of any change in such Agent's, Lender's, Issuing Bank's or Eligible Assignee's circumstances that would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. This <u>Section 3.01(c)</u> shall not apply to any reporting requirements under FATCA.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Applicable Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Applicable Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Applicable Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Applicable Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this <u>Section 3.01(d)</u>, "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Each Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank that is a "United States person" (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (each, a "**U.S. Lender**") agrees to complete and deliver to the Borrowers and the Applicable Agent two accurate, complete and signed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form, as applicable) certifying that such U.S. Lender is not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding Tax (i) on or prior to the Closing Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), (ii) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, (iii) after the occurrence of a change in the U.S. Lender's circumstances requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrowers and the Applicable Agent, and (iv) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Applicable Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)The Borrowers agree to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary Taxes and any other excise (in the nature of a documentary or similar Tax), property, intangible, filing or mortgage recording Taxes or charges or similar levies imposed by any Governmental Authority that arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (including additions to Tax, penalties and interest related thereto) excluding, in each case, such amounts that are Other Connection Taxes imposed in connection with an Assignment and Assumption, grant of a participation, transfer or assignment to or designation of a new applicable Lending Office or other office for receiving payments under any Loan Document, except to the extent that any such change is requested in writing by the Borrowers (all such non-Excluded Taxes described in this <u>Section 3.01(f)</u> being hereinafter referred to as "**Other Taxes**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)If any Taxes or Other Taxes are directly asserted against any Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank with respect to any payment made by or on account of, or the failure to make any payment of any Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority by, the Borrowers or Guarantors under any Loan Document, such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank may pay such Taxes or Other Taxes and the Borrowers will promptly indemnify and hold harmless such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank for the full amount of such Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) and Other Taxes (and any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) and Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this <u>Section 3.01</u>), and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted. Payments under this <u>Section 3.01(g)</u> shall be made within ten days after the date the Borrowers receive written demand for payment from such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under this <u>Section 3.01</u> than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers' prior written consent or such entitlement to a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the Participant acquired the participation.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)If any Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or any Guarantor, as the case may be, or with respect to which a Borrower or any Guarantor, as the case may be, has paid additional amounts pursuant to this <u>Section 3.01</u>, it shall promptly pay to the applicable Borrower or applicable Guarantor, as the case may be, an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by a Borrower or any Guarantor under this <u>Section 3.01</u> with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), *provided* that the applicable Borrower or applicable Guarantor, as the case may be, upon the request of such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the applicable Borrower or applicable Guarantor, as the case may be (*<u>plus</u>* any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank in the event such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this <u>Section 3.01(i)</u>, in no event will such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank be required to pay any amount to the applicable Borrower or applicable Guarantor pursuant to this <u>Section 3.01(i)</u> the payment of which would place such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank would have been in if the Tax or Other Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax or Other Tax had never been paid. Such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall provide the Borrowers upon request with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence reasonably available of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant Governmental Authority (*provided* that such Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank may delete any information therein that such Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank deems confidential or not relevant to such refund in its reasonable discretion). This Section 3.01(i) shall not be construed to require any Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it reasonably deems confidential) to a Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)Each Agent, Lender and Issuing Bank agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of <u>Section 3.01(a)</u> or <u>(g)</u> with respect to such Agent, Lender, or Issuing Bank, or if it requests compensation under <u>Section 3.04</u>, it will, if requested by the Borrowers in writing, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to legal and regulatory restrictions) to mitigate the effect of any such event, including by a Lender designating another Lending Office for any Loan affected by such event or assigning its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates and by completing and delivering or filing any Tax-related forms that such Lender is legally able to deliver and that would reduce or eliminate any amount of Taxes or Other Taxes required to be deducted or withheld or paid by the Borrowers; *provided* that such efforts are made at the Borrowers' expense and are on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, do not cause such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank or any of its Lending Offices to suffer any economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and *provided further* that nothing in this <u>Section 3.01(j)</u> shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrowers or the rights of such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to <u>Section 3.01(a)</u> or <u>(g)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers, the Revolving Agent and the Administrative Agent may deduct and withhold any Taxes required by any Laws (including, for the avoidance of doubt, FATCA) to be deducted and withheld from any payment under any of the Loan Documents, subject to the provisions of this <u>Section 3.01</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l)Each Agent or Lender, as applicable, shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and/or the Revolving Agent, within ten days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Agent or Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent and/or the Revolving Agent, as applicable, for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of <u>Section 11.07(e)</u> relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Agent or Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent and/or the Revolving Agent, as applicable, in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were

------

correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Agent or Lender by the Administrative Agent and/or the Revolving Agent, as applicable, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Agent and Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Agent or Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent and/or the Revolving Agent, as applicable, to such Agent or Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent and/or the Revolving Agent, as applicable, under this <u>Section 3.01(l)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m)The agreements in this <u>Section 3.01</u> shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Agent, termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder and any assignment of rights by, or replacement of, any Lender.

SECTION 3.02<u>Illegality</u>. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Term SOFR or Term CORRA, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Term SOFR or Term CORRA, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, or Canadian Dollars in the Canadian interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Term SOFR Loans or Term CORRA Rate Loans, as applicable, or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans to Term CORRA Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, or on the Adjusted Term CORRA component of the Canadian Prime Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent (or the Revolving Agent with respect to Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans) without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate or the Adjusted Term CORRA component of the Canadian Prime Rate, as applicable, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent (or the Revolving Agent with respect to Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans) and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (A) with respect to Borrowings denominated in Dollars, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans and shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent (or the Revolving Agent with respect to Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans)), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Term SOFR Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent (or the Revolving Agent with respect to Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans) without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans, as applicable, (B) with respect to Borrowings denominated in Canadian Dollars, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term CORRA Rate Loans and shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent (or the Revolving Agent with respect to Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans)), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Term CORRA Rate Loans of such Lender to Canadian Prime Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Canadian Prime Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent (or the Revolving Agent with respect to Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans) without reference to the Adjusted Term CORRA component of the Canadian Prime Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term CORRA Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term CORRA Rate Loans, (C) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate with respect to any Base Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent (or the Revolving Agent with respect to Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans) shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Term SOFR component thereof until the

------

Administrative Agent (or the Revolving Agent with respect to Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans) is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Term SOFR, or (D) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Adjusted Term CORRA component of the Canadian Prime Rate with respect to any Canadian Prime Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent (or the Revolving Agent with respect to Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans) shall during the period of such suspension compute the Canadian Prime Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Adjusted Term CORRA component thereof until the Administrative Agent (or the Revolving Agent with respect to Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans) is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon Term CORRA. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

SECTION 3.03<u>Inability to Determine Rates</u>. If the Administrative Agent (or the Revolving Agent with respect to Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans) or the Required Lenders reasonably determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan or a Term CORRA Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) deposits are not being offered to banks in the Canadian interbank market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Term CORRA Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan or adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Term CORRA for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term CORRA Rate Loan, as applicable, or in connection with an existing or proposed Canadian Prime Rate Loan or (c) the Term SOFR or Adjusted Term CORRA for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan or Term CORRA Rate Loan, as applicable, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent (or the Revolving Agent with respect to Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans) will promptly so notify the Borrowers and each Lender. Thereafter, (i) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans or Term CORRA Rate Loans, as applicable, shall be suspended, and (ii) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence: (A) 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, and (B) with respect to the Adjusted Term CORRA component of the Canadian Prime Rate, the utilization of the Adjusted Term CORRA component in determining the Canadian Prime Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or the Revolving Agent with respect to Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans) (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans or Term CORRA Rate Loans, as applicable, or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, in the case of Term SOFR Loans, or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, in the case of Term CORRA Rate Loans, as applicable, in the amount specified therein.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)subject any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Term SOFR Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender, Issuing Bank, or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, in respect thereof (except, in each case, for (A) Taxes with respect to which the Borrowers are obligated to pay additional amounts or indemnity payments pursuant to <u>Section 3.01</u>, (B) any Taxes and other amounts described in clauses (ii) through (vi) of the second sentence of <u>Section 3.01(a)</u> that are imposed with respect to payments to or for the account of any Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender under any Loan Document, (C) Connection Income Taxes, and (D) Other Taxes); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)impose on any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a

------

Letter of Credit or Term SOFR Loans made by such Lender or any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender (other than with respect to Taxes) that is not otherwise accounted for in the definition of the Term SOFR or this <u>clause (a)</u>;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender of making or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Term SOFR or, in the case of a Change in Law with respect to Taxes, making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank (whether of principal, interest or any other amount)) then, from time to time within ten days after demand by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Swing Line Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Agent) (provided that such calculation will not in an way require disclosure of confidential or price-sensitive information or any other information the disclosure of which is prohibited by law), the Borrowers will pay to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Swing Line Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Swing Line Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. No Lender, Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender shall request that the Borrowers pay any additional amount pursuant to this <u>Section 3.04(a)</u> unless it shall concurrently make similar requests to other borrowers similarly situated and affected by such Change in Law and from whom such Lender, Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender is entitled to seek similar amounts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Capital Requirements</u>. If any Lender or any Issuing Bank reasonably determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Issuing Bank or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, regarding liquidity or capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or Issuing Bank's capital or on the capital of such Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or such Issuing Bank or the Loans made by or Letters of Credit issued by it to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's policies and the policies of such Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company with respect to liquidity or capital adequacy), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender or such Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Agent) (provided that such calculation will not in an way require disclosure of confidential or price-sensitive information or any other information the disclosure of which is prohibited by law), the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company for any such reduction suffered.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Certificates for Reimbursement</u>. A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or their respective holding company, as the case may be, as specified in sub<u>section (a)</u> or (b) of this <u>Section 3.04</u> and delivered to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten days after receipt thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Delay in Requests</u>. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this <u>Section 3.04</u> shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's right to demand such compensation, *provided* that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this <u>Section 3.04</u> for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one hundred and eighty days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank notifies the Borrowers of

------

the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

SECTION 3.05<u>Funding Losses</u>. Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Agent) from time to time, which demand shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount (provided that such calculation will not in an way require disclosure of confidential or price-sensitive information or any other information the disclosure of which is prohibited by law), the Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost, liability or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits or margin) actually incurred by it as a result of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan or a Canadian Prime Rate Loan on a day prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)any failure by the Borrowers (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan or a Canadian Prime Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrowers; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)any assignment of a Term SOFR Loan or a Term CORRA Rate Loan on a day prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to <u>Section 3.07</u>;

including any loss or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits or margin) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender may make any demand under this <u>Section 3.05</u> (i) with respect to the Floor or (ii) in connection with any prepayment of interest on Term Loans.

SECTION 3.06<u>Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Designation of a Different Lending Office</u>. If any Lender requests compensation under <u>Section 3.04</u>, or the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to <u>Section 3.01</u>, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to <u>Section 3.02</u>, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to <u>Section 3.01</u> or <u>3.04</u>, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to <u>Section 3.02</u>, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material economic, legal or regulatory respect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Suspension of Lender Obligations</u>. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrowers under <u>Section 3.04</u>, the Borrowers may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Applicable Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue Term SOFR Loans from one Interest Period to another Interest Period, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Term SOFR Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of <u>Section 3.06(c)</u> shall be applicable); *provided* that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Conversion of Term SOFR Loans</u>. If any Lender gives notice to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Applicable Agent) that the circumstances specified in <u>Section 3.02</u>, <u>3.03</u> or <u>3.04</u> hereof that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender's Term SOFR Loans no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Term SOFR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender's Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Term SOFR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans of a given Class held by the Lenders of such Class holding Term SOFR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

------

SECTION 3.07<u>Replacement of Lenders Under Certain Circumstances</u>. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under <u>Section 3.04</u> or ceases to make Term SOFR Loans as a result of any condition described in <u>Section 3.02</u> or <u>Section 3.04</u>, (ii) the Borrowers are required to pay any Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to <u>Section 3.01</u> and such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with <u>Section 3.01(j)</u>, (iii) any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, (iv) any Lender does not accept an Extension Offer, (v) (A) any Lender shall become and continue to be a Defaulting Lender and (B) such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default pursuant to <u>Section 2.20(b)</u> within five Business Days after the Borrowers' request that it cure such default, or (vi) any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrowers the right to replace a Lender (other than a Disqualified Lender) as a party hereto, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Applicable Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, <u>Section 11.07</u>), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to <u>Section 3.01</u> or <u>Section 3.04</u>) to one or more Eligible Assignees that shall assume such obligations (any of which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), *provided* that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent and/or the Revolving Agent, as applicable, the assignment fee specified in <u>Section 11.07(b)(iv)</u>;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts payable under <u>Section 3.05</u>) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)such Lender being replaced pursuant to this <u>Section 3.07</u> shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender's Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans, and (ii) deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrowers or the Applicable Agent (or a lost or destroyed note indemnity in lieu thereof); *provided* that the failure of any such Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption or deliver such Notes shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register and the Notes shall be deemed to be canceled upon such failure;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)the Eligible Assignee shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and participations, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under <u>Section 3.04</u> or payments required to be made pursuant to <u>Section 3.01</u>, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender being a Non-Consenting Lender, the Eligible Assignee shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Lender being replaced was a Non-Consenting Lender; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, any Lender that acts as an Issuing Bank may not be replaced hereunder at any time that it has any Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank (including the furnishing of a back-up standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank or the depositing of cash collateral into a cash collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank) have been made with respect to each such outstanding Letter of Credit.

------

In the event that (i) the Borrowers, the Revolving Agent or the Administrative Agent have requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of each Lender, all affected Lenders or all the Lenders or all affected Lenders with respect to a certain Class or Classes of the Loans and (iii) the Required Lenders, Required Revolving Lenders or Required Facility Lenders, as applicable, have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a "**Non-Consenting Lender**."

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 3.08<u>Survival</u>. All of the Borrowers' obligations under this <u>Article III</u> shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and resignation of the Revolving Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 3.09<u>Successor Benchmark Rates.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Benchmark Replacement</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (Toronto or New York City time, as applicable) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders and the Borrowers without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Applicable Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. If the Benchmark Replacement with respect to Term CORRA Rate Loans is Daily Simple CORRA, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations</u>. The Administrative Agent and/or the Revolving Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (iii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent and/or the Revolving Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to <u>clause (d)</u> below and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this <u>Section 3.09</u>, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and

------

without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this <u>Section 3.09</u>.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Benchmark Unavailability Period</u>. Upon the Borrowers' receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans or Term CORRA Rate Loans, as applicable, to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that (i) the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, and (ii) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans or Term CORRA Rate Loans, as applicable, will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, at the end of the applicable Interest Period. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, clause (c) of the definition of "Base Rate," or <u>clause (ii)</u> of the definition of "Canadian Prime Rate" based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate or the Canadian Prime Rate, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)<u>Certain Defined Terms</u>. As used in this <u>Section 3.09</u>:

"**Available Tenor**" means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, (a) if such Benchmark is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining the length of an interest period pursuant to this Agreement or (b) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining any frequency of making payments of interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark, in each case, as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of "Interest Period" pursuant to <u>Section 3.09(d)</u>.

"**Benchmark**" means, initially, the Relevant Rate; *provided* that if a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to the applicable Relevant Rate or the then current Benchmark, then "Benchmark" means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to <u>Section 3.09(a)</u>.

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

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)the sum of (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Applicable Agent and the Borrowers giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement of the then-current Benchmark for syndicated credit facilities denominated in the applicable currency and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; provided that, in the case of clause (b) above, such adjustment shall not be in the form of an increase of the Applicable Rate.

If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1) or (2) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

"**Benchmark Replacement Adjustment**" means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Applicable Agent and the Borrowers giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for syndicated credit facilities denominated in the applicable currency at such time.

"**Benchmark Replacement Date**" means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of "Benchmark Transition Event," the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)in the case of clause (3) of the definition of "Benchmark Transition Event," the first date on which such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be non-representative; *provided* that such non-representativeness will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such clause (c) and even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date;.

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

"**Benchmark Transition Event**" means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5)a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely; *provided* that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7)a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative.

For the avoidance of doubt, a "Benchmark Transition Event" will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark solely to the extent that a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

"**Benchmark Unavailability Period**" means the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with this <u>Section 3.09</u> and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with this <u>Section 3.09</u>.

"**Conforming Changes**" means, with respect to the use, administration, adoption or implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of "Base Rate," the definition of "Canadian Prime Rate," the definition of "Business Day," the definition of "U.S. Government Securities Business Day," the definition of "Interest Period" or any similar or analogous definition (or the addition of a concept of "interest period"), timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, the applicability and length of lookback periods, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Applicable Agent decides (in consultation with the Borrowers) may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of any such rate or to permit the use and administration thereof by the Applicable Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Applicable Agent decides (in consultation with the Borrowers) that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Applicable Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of any such rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Applicable Agent decides (in consultation with the Borrowers) is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

"**CORRA**" means the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average administered and published by the Bank of Canada (or any successor administrator).

"**CORRA Administrator**" means the Bank of Canada (or any successor administrator).

For purposes of determining compliance with this <u>Section 7.02</u>, in the event that any Investment (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories set forth above, the Borrowers may, in their sole discretion, at the time such Investment is made, divide, classify or reclassify, or at any later time divide, classify or reclassify, such Investment (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this covenant on the date such Investment is made or such later time, as applicable.

The amount of any Investment at any time shall be the amount of cash and the fair market value of other property actually invested (measured at the option of the Borrowers, either (x) at the time made or (y) to the extent an LCT Election has been made with respect to such Investment, as of the date that

------

any applicable definitive agreement with respect to such Investment is entered into), without adjustment for subsequent changes in the value of such Investment, net of any return, whether a return of capital, interest, dividend or otherwise, with respect to such Investment. To the extent any Investment in any Person is made in compliance with this <u>Section 7.02</u> in reliance on a category above that is subject to a Dollar-denominated restriction on the making of Investments and, subsequently, such Person returns to a Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary all or any portion of such Investment (in the form of a dividend, distribution, liquidation or otherwise, but excluding Intercompany Indebtedness), such return shall be deemed to be credited to the Dollar-denominated category against which the Investment is then charged. To the extent the category subject to a Dollar-denominated restriction is also subject to a percentage of TTM Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA restriction which, at the date of determination, produces a numerical restriction that is greater than such Dollar amount, then such Dollar equivalent shall be deemed to be substituted in lieu of the corresponding Dollar amount in the foregoing sentence for purposes of determining such credit.

For purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated (or percentage of TTM Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, if greater) restriction on the making of Investments, the Dollar equivalent amount of the Investment denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Investment was made.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The Collateral Agent, as part of its duties as the "collateral agent", is hereby irrevocably authorized and appointed by each Lender (including in its capacities as a potential Cash Management Bank and a potential Hedge Bank) and Issuing Bank hereto to act as hypothecary representative (within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec) for all present and future Secured Parties (in such capacity, the "**Hypothecary Representative**") in order to hold any hypothec which may now or in the future be required to be granted by any Loan Party granted under the Laws of the Province of Québec, Canada and to exercise such rights and duties as are conferred upon the Hypothecary Representative under the relevant hypothec and applicable Laws (with the power to delegate any such rights or duties). The execution prior to the date hereof by the Collateral Agent in its capacity as the Hypothecary Representative of any hypothec or other security documents governed by the Laws of the Province of Québec, Canada is hereby ratified and confirmed. Any Person who becomes a Lender or an Issuing Bank or successor Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have consented to and ratified the foregoing appointment of the Collateral Agent as the Hypothecary Representative on behalf of all Secured Parties, including such Person and any Affiliate of such Person designated above as a Lender or Issuing Bank. For greater certainty, the Administrative Agent, acting as the Hypothecary Representative, shall have the same rights, powers, immunities, indemnities and exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favor of the Collateral Agent in this Agreement, which shall apply *mutatis mutandis*. In the event of the resignation of the Collateral Agent (which shall include its resignation as the Hypothecary Representative) and appointment of a successor Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall also act as the Hypothecary Representative, as contemplated above.

SECTION 10.02<u>Rights as a Lender</u>. Any Lender that is also serving as an Agent (including as Administrative Agent and/or Revolving Agent) hereunder shall have the same rights and powers (and no additional duties or obligations) in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each Lender (if any) serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Any Person serving as an Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrowers for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, any Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that no Agent shall be under any obligation to provide such information to them.

SECTION 10.03<u>Exculpatory Provisions</u>. None of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent, any of the other Agents, any of their respective Affiliates, nor any of the officers,

partners, directors, employees or agents of the foregoing shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, an Agent (including the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Agent) or any of their respective officers, partners, directors, employees or agents:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term "agent" herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under any agency doctrine of any applicable Law and instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), *provided* that, notwithstanding any direction by the Required Lenders to the contrary, no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt refraining from any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)shall not be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or omitted to be taken under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents except to the extent caused by such Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

The Administrative Agent and the Revolving Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by them (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in <u>Sections 9.02</u> and <u>11.01</u>) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or of a material breach by the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Agent of its obligations under this Agreement as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein. The Administrative Agent and the Revolving Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent and/or the Revolving Agent by a Borrower or the Required Lenders in writing.

------

elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent, or the Revolving Agent or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof. No Agent-Related Person shall be responsible or liable to any Secured Party for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

SECTION 10.04<u>Reliance by the Agents</u>. The Agents shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent and/or the Revolving Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action that is not required or explicitly approved by the Lenders under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or other requisite percentage of Lenders) as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agents shall in all cases be fully protected in taking any action, or in refraining from taking any action, under any Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders; *provided* that the Agents shall not be required to take any action that, in their opinion or in the opinion of their counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not act (or refrain from acting, as applicable) upon any direction from the Required Lenders (or other requisite percentage of Lenders) that would cause the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Agent to be in breach of any express term or provision of this Agreement. The Required Lenders agree not to instruct the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent or Collateral Agent to take any action, or refrain from taking any action, that would, in each case, cause it to violate an express duty or obligation under this Agreement.

SECTION 10.05<u>Delegation of Duties</u>. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Documents by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Agent-Related Persons. The exculpatory provisions of this <u>Article X</u> shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Agent-Related Persons of the Agents and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Agents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub agent appointed by an Agent, (i) such sub agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of the Loan Parties and the Lenders, (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub agent, and (iii) such sub agent shall only have obligations to the Agent that appointed it as sub agent and not to any Loan Party, Lender or any

------

other Person and no Loan Party, Lender or any other Person shall have any rights, directly or indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub agent.

Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by any Agent herein, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement or an Assignment and Assumption and funding its Term Loan and/or Revolving Loans on the Closing Date, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be approved by any Agent, Required Lenders or Lenders, as applicable on the Closing Date.

Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent, each Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender and each other Agent-Related Person (solely to the extent any such Agent-Related Person was performing services on behalf of any Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable) (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent, each Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender and each other Agent-Related Person (solely to the extent any such Agent-Related Person was performing services on behalf of any Agent, each Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; *provided* that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Agent-Related Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; *provided* that, to the extent each Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender is entitled to indemnification under this <u>Section 10.07</u> solely in its capacity and role as an Issuing Bank or as a Swing Line Lender, as applicable, only the Revolving Lenders shall be required to indemnify the applicable Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, in accordance with this <u>Section 10.07</u> (determined as of the time that the applicable payment is

------

sought based on each Revolving Lender's Pro Rata Share thereof at such time); *provided*, *further*, that no action taken in accordance with the terms of a Loan Document or in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this <u>Section 10.07</u>. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; *provided*, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender against any Indemnified Liabilities in excess of such Lender's pro rata share thereof; and *provided further*, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender against any Indemnified Liabilities described in the first proviso in the immediately preceding sentence. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this <u>Section 10.07</u> applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse each Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by such Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that such Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrowers; *provided* that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrowers' continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto; *provided*, *further*, that the failure of any Lender to indemnify or reimburse such Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation in respect thereof. The undertaking in this <u>Section 10.07</u> shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent, Revolving Agent, Collateral Agent, other Agents, any Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender.

SECTION 10.09<u>Resignation of Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent or Collateral Agent</u>.

After the retiring Agent's resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this <u>Article X</u> and <u>Sections</u> <u>11.04</u> and <u>11.05</u> shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Agent-Related Persons in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Administrative Agent, Revolving Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable.

SECTION 10.10<u>Administrative Agent and/or Revolving Agent May File Proofs of Claim; Credit Bidding</u>. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and Revolving Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or Revolving Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated), by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)to file a verified statement pursuant to rule 2019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure that, in its sole opinion, complies with such rule's disclosure requirements for entities representing more than one creditor;

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Applicable Agent and, in the event that the Applicable Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, to pay to the Applicable Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Applicable Agent under <u>Sections 2.11</u> and <u>11.04</u>. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Applicable Agent, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Applicable Agent under <u>Sections 2.11</u> and <u>11.04</u> out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Lenders or the Issuing Banks may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

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

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured Obligations (as defined in the applicable Security Agreement) pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (i) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, (ii) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (A) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (B) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or

------

indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in clauses (a) through (g) of <u>Section 11.01</u> of this Agreement), (C) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action and (D) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no such credit bid may be made by Administrative Agent unless either (x) Required Revolving Lenders have given their prior written consent to such credit bid, or (y) the terms of such credit bid would result in all Obligations owing to the Revolving Lenders, Swing Line Lender, each Issuing Bank, and the Revolver Agent being paid in full (including any applicable cash collateralization) in cash at the time of the closing of such purchase.

agreement with the collateral agent or other representative of the holders of Indebtedness that is secured by a Lien on Collateral that is expressly permitted under this Agreement.

Each Agent, each Lender and each other Secured Party agrees that it will promptly take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by a Borrower (such actions and such execution, the "**Release Actions**"), at the Borrowers' sole cost and expense, in connection with a Lien Release Event, Release/Subordination Event or Guaranty Release Event and that such actions are not discretionary.

and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code), only the Collateral Agent (except with respect to a "credit bid" pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code) may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities), shall be entitled, upon instructions from the Required Lenders, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale or disposition, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)no provision of any Loan Documents shall require the creation, perfection or maintenance of pledges of or security interests or hypothecs in, or the obtaining of title insurance or abstracts with respect to, any Excluded Assets and any other particular assets, if and for so long as, in the reasonable judgment of the Collateral Agent, the cost of creating, perfecting or maintaining such pledges or security interests or hypothecs in such other particular assets or obtaining title insurance or abstracts in respect of such other particular assets is excessive in view of the fair market value of such assets or the practical benefit to the Lenders afforded thereby; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)the Collateral Agent may grant extensions of time for the creation or perfection of security interests or hypothecs in or the obtaining of title insurance and surveys with respect to particular assets (including extensions beyond the Closing Date for the creation or perfection of security interests in the assets of the Loan Parties on such date) where it reasonably determines, in consultation with the Borrowers, that creation or perfection cannot be accomplished without undue effort or expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required by this Agreement or the Collateral Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Each Lender expressly and irrevocably agrees that it will not hinder or direct the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent to take any action that will hinder the automatic release of any security interest, Lien or Guarantee provided for by this <u>Section 10.11</u> (including, without limitation, in connection with any Disposition permitted pursuant to <u>Section 7.05</u> and including, without limitation, any refusal to release liens, return possessory collateral, execute and/or file release documentation or take any other reasonably requested actions to documents or effectuate the release of Liens on Collateral, in each case, at the Borrowers' sole cost and expense) and expressly and irrevocably agrees that the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be authorized to, and shall, take any necessary action to release any such security interest, Lien or Guarantee to the extent authorized to do so by this <u>Section 10.11</u> without any obligation or requirement to notify or obtain consent from any Lender (and the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall not condition any such actions on providing notice to, or obtaining consent from, the Lenders).

SECTION 10.12<u>Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agent and/or Revolving Agents</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative Agent or Revolving Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent or Revolving Agent is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the Administrative Agent or Revolving Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution

------

being referred to herein individually, as a "**Supplemental Administrative Agent**" or "**Supplemental Revolving Agent**", as applicable, and, collectively, as "**Supplemental Agents**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)In the event that the Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Administrative Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Administrative Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Administrative Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Administrative Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this <u>Article X</u> and of <u>Sections 11.04</u> and <u>11.05</u> that refer to the Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Administrative Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent and/or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, as the context may require.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Should any instrument in writing from any Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent or Revolving Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, a Borrower, Holdings or Holdings GP, as applicable, shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Applicable Agent. In case any Supplemental Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent or Revolving Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Agent.

SECTION 10.13<u>Intercreditor Agreements.</u> Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any Loan Document, to the extent the Administrative Agent enters into an Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement or any other Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, this Agreement will be subject to the terms and provisions of such Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement or other Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and any such Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement or any other Intercreditor Agreement, the provisions of the Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement or such other Intercreditor Agreement govern and control. The Lenders acknowledge and agree that each Agent is authorized to, and each Agent agrees that, with respect to any secured Indebtedness, upon request by a Borrower, it shall, enter into an Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement or any other Intercreditor Agreement with the collateral agent or other Debt Representative of the holders of such Indebtedness unless such Indebtedness and any related Liens (including the priority of such Liens) are not permitted by <u>Sections 7.01</u> and <u>7.03</u> of this Agreement. The Lenders hereby authorize and instruct the Administrative Agent to (a) enter into any such Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement or any such other Intercreditor Agreement, (b) bind the Lenders on the terms set forth in such Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement or any such other Intercreditor Agreement and (c) perform and observe its obligations under such Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement or any such other Intercreditor Agreement. The Agents and each Secured Party agree that the Agents shall be entitled to rely and shall rely exclusively on an officer's certificate of a Borrower in determining whether it is permitted to enter into an Intercreditor Agreement pursuant to this Section. Each Secured Party covenants and agrees not to give the Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent any instruction that is not consistent with the provisions of this <u>Section 10.13</u>.

SECTION 10.14<u>Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements</u>. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in any Guaranty or any Collateral Document, no Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of <u>Section 9.03</u>, any Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Guaranty or any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral or any Guaranty (including the release or impairment of any Collateral or Guaranty) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this <u>Article X</u> to the contrary, the Administrative Agent and Revolving Agent shall not be required to verify

------

the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Cash Management Obligations or Obligations arising under Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent and/or Revolving Agent has received written notice of such Cash Management Obligations or such Obligations arising under Secured Hedge Agreements, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent and/or Revolving Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.

SECTION 10.15<u>Withholding Taxes</u>. To the extent required by any applicable Law, the Applicable Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If any Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Applicable Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Applicable Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, or if the Applicable Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender pursuant to this Agreement without deduction of applicable withholding Tax from such payment, such Lender shall indemnify the Applicable Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Applicable Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)(A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a "Qualified Professional Asset Manager" (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender's entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement; or

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-<u>clause (iv)</u> in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further

SECTION 10.17<u>Erroneous Payments.</u>

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Without limiting immediately preceding <u>clause (a)</u>, each Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Applicable Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Applicable Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Applicable Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Applicable Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Applicable Agent pursuant to this <u>Section 10.17(b)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Each Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Applicable Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Applicable Agent to such

------

Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Applicable Agent under immediately preceding <u>clause (a)</u> or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Applicable Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Applicable Agent in accordance with immediately preceding <u>clause (a)</u>, from any Lender or Issuing Bank that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an "***Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency***"), upon the Applicable Agent's notice to such Lender or Issuing Lender at any time, (i) such Lender or Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the "***Erroneous Payment Impacted Class***") in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Applicable Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the "***Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment***") at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Applicable Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrowers) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to the Platform as to which the Applicable Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or Issuing Bank shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrowers or the Applicable Agent, (ii) the Applicable Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Applicable Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender or assigning Issuing Bank shall cease to be a Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender or assigning Issuing Bank and (iv) the Applicable Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Applicable Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Applicable Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender or Issuing Bank (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender or Issuing Bank and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Applicable Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Applicable Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Applicable Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the "***Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights***").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Applicable Agent from the Borrowers or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Applicable Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)Each party's obligations, agreements and waivers under this <u>Section 10.17</u> shall survive the resignation or replacement of Applicable Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the

------

replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it hereunder or under any Loan Document, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Agent, as applicable, in its sole discretion. Expenses shall be deemed to be documented in reasonable detail only if they provide the detail required to enable the Borrowers, acting in good faith, to determine that such expenses relate to the activities with respect to which reimbursement is required hereunder. Each Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent and/or any Lender may receive a benefit, including a discount, credit or other accommodation, from any of such counsel based on the fees such counsel may receive on account of their relationship with the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent and/or such Lender, including fees paid pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

------

writing of such conflict of interest), one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to each group of affected Indemnitees similarly situated taken as a whole),

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (including the reliance in good faith by any Indemnitee on any notice purportedly given by or on behalf of a Borrower or any Loan Party),

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the "**Indemnified Liabilities**");

*provided* that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final, non-appealable judgment that any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulted from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any Related Indemnified Person of such Indemnitee, (ii) a material breach of any obligations of such Indemnitee under any Loan Document by such Indemnitee or Related Indemnified Person, or (iii) any dispute solely among Indemnitees or of any Related Indemnified Person of such Indemnitee other than any claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent, the Collateral Agent, an Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender or a Lead Arranger (or other Agent role) under the Facility and other than any claims arising out of any act or omission of the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates. To the extent that the undertakings to indemnify and hold harmless set forth in this <u>Section 11.05</u> may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any applicable law or public policy, the Borrowers shall contribute the maximum portion that they are permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through Syndtrak or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, except to the extent resulting from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnitee or any Related Indemnified Person (as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), nor shall any Indemnitee or any Loan Party have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date) (other than, in the case of any Loan Party, in respect of any such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnitee to a third party). In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this <u>Section 11.05</u> applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, stockholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions

------

contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents is consummated. All amounts due under this <u>Section 11.05</u> (after the determination of a court of competent jurisdiction, if required pursuant to the terms of this <u>Section 11.05</u>) shall be paid within twenty Business Days after written demand therefor. The agreements in this <u>Section 11.05</u> shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swing Line Lender or any Issuing Bank, replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. This <u>Section 11.05</u> shall not apply to Taxes, except it shall apply to any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from a non-Tax claim (including a value added tax or similar tax charged with respect to the supply of legal or other services).

None of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent, any Lender, the Collateral Agent or any Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Loan Parties or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers is made to any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank (or to the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Agent, on behalf of any Lender or any Issuing Bank), or any Agent or any Lender enforces any security interests or exercises its right of setoff, and such payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred and (b) each Lender and each Issuing Bank severally agrees to pay to the Applicable Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Applicable Agent, *<u>plus</u>* interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate *per annum* equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(F)A Lender shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any Net Short Representation made (or deemed made) to it in any Assignment and Assumption and shall have no duty to inquire as to or investigate the accuracy of any Net Short Representation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)<u>Defaulting Lenders Assignments</u>. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Applicable Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or sub-participations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Applicable Agent, the applicable Pro Rata Share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Applicable Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swing Line Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Pro Rata Share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Applicable Agent pursuant to <u>clause (c)</u> of this Section (and, in the case of an Affiliated Lender or a Person that, after giving effect to such assignment, would become an Affiliated Lender, subject to the requirements of <u>clause (h)</u> of this Section), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to

this Agreement (except in the case of an assignment to or purchase by Holdings, Holdings GP, a Borrower or any of Holdings' Subsidiaries) and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption and as permitted by this <u>Section 11.07</u>, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of <u>Sections 3.01</u>, <u>3.04</u>, <u>3.05</u>, <u>11.04</u> and <u>11.05</u> with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment); *provided* that anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, each Issuing Bank shall continue to have all rights and obligations with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it until the cancellation or expiration of such Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder. Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its applicable Notes, the Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 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 sub<u>section (d)</u> of this Section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Register</u>. The Applicable Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for Tax purposes), shall maintain at one of the Administrative Agent's Offices and the Revolving Agent's Offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts and stated interest of the Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations (specifying the Reimbursement Obligations), Letter of Credit Borrowings and other amounts due under <u>Section 2.04</u> 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 Borrowers, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or any Lender (but only, in the case of a Lender at the Administrative Agent's Office and the Revolving Agent's Offices and with respect to any entry relating to such Lender's Commitments, Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and other Obligations), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice. This <u>Section 11.07(c)</u> and <u>Section 2.13</u> shall be construed so that all Loans are at all times maintained in "registered form" within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related Treasury regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such Treasury regulations).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Participations</u>. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swing Line Lender or any other Person sell participations to any Person (other than to (1) a natural person, (2) a Borrower or any of the Borrowers' Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (3) any Person described in the proviso to the definition of "Eligible Assignee") (each, 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 (including such Lender's participations in Letters of Credit and/or Swing Line 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 Borrowers, the Agents 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 the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; *provided* that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in <u>Section 11.01(b)</u> (other than <u>clause (iv)</u> thereof) that directly and adversely affects such Participant. Subject to sub<u>section (e)</u> of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of <u>Sections 3.01</u> (subject to the requirements of <u>Sections 3.01(b)</u>, <u>(c)</u>, <u>(d)</u> and <u>(e)</u>, as applicable (it being understood that the documentation required under such Sections shall be delivered to the participating

------

Lender)), <u>3.04</u> and <u>3.05</u> (through the applicable Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to sub<u>section (b)</u> of this <u>Section 11.07</u>. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of <u>Section 11.09</u> as though it were a Lender; *provided* that such Participant agrees to be subject to <u>Section 2.15</u> as though it were a Lender. To the extent that any participation is purported to be made to a Disqualified Lender (other than a Net Short Lender) or to any Person that was (at the time of such participation) a Net Short Lender on a pro forma basis for such participation, such transaction shall be subject to the applicable provisions of <u>Section 11.28(a)</u> (and the Borrowers shall be entitled to seek specific performance in any applicable court of law or equity to enforce this sentence); *provided* that a Lender shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any Net Short Representation made (or deemed made) to it in any agreement or instrument documenting or otherwise evidencing such Participation and shall have no duty to inquire as to or investigate the accuracy of any Net Short Representation therein or provided in connection with such Participation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Limitations upon Participant Rights</u>. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under <u>Section 3.01</u>, <u>3.04</u> or <u>3.05</u> than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers' prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or such entitlement to a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the Participant acquired the participation. Each Lender that sells a participation or has a loan funded by an SPC shall (acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers) maintain a register complying with the requirements of Sections 163(f), 871(h) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and the Treasury regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such Treasury regulations) issued thereunder relating to the exemption from withholding for portfolio interest on which is entered the name and address of each Participant or SPC and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's or SPC's interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the "**Participant Register**"). A Lender shall not be obligated to disclose the Participant Register to any Person except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that any Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) or proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Treasury regulations (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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)<u>Liens on Loans</u>. Any Lender may, at any time without the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Agent, pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Notes, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)<u>Special Purpose Funding Vehicles</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a "**Granting Lender**") may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Applicable Agent and the Borrowers (an "**SPC**") the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; *provided* that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (A) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement (including their obligations under <u>Sections 3.01</u>, <u>3.04</u> and <u>3.05</u>), (B) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (C) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the laws of Canada or any province or territory thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the

------

contrary contained herein, any SPC may (1) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500 (which processing fee may be waived by the Applicable Agent in its sole discretion), assign all or any portion of its rights to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (2) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)<u>Affiliated Lenders</u>. Any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Loans and Commitments under this Agreement (including under Incremental Term Facilities) to a Person who is or will become, after such assignment, an Affiliated Lender (including any Affiliated Debt Fund) through (i) Dutch auctions open to all Lenders in accordance with the procedures set forth on <u>Exhibit L</u> or (ii) open market purchases, bilateral arrangements, privately negotiated arrangements, exchange offers (including for cash, other property, Equity Interests or other Indebtedness), and other negotiated transactions on a non-*pro rata* basis, in each case subject to the following limitations applicable to Affiliated Lenders that are not Affiliated Debt Funds:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Such Affiliated Lenders (A) will not receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent or any Lender except to the extent such materials are made available to the Borrowers and will not be permitted to attend or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Term Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to <u>Article II</u>, (B) will not receive the advice of counsel provided solely to the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent or the Lenders, and (C) may not challenge the attorney-client privilege between the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent and counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent or between the Lenders and counsel to the Lenders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the Assignment and Assumption will include either (A) a representation by the applicable Affiliated Lender acquiring or disposing of Term Loans in such assignment that, as of the date of any such purchase or sale, it is not in possession of material non-public information with respect to the Borrowers, their Subsidiaries or their respective securities or (B) a statement by the applicable Affiliated Lender acquiring or disposing of Term Loans in such assignment that it cannot make the representation set forth in the foregoing clause (A);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)(A) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held by all Affiliated Lenders that are not Affiliated Debt Funds shall not exceed 30% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Term Loans at the time of purchase or assignment (such percentage, the "**Affiliated Lender Term Loan Cap**"), (B) unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Required Facility Lenders, regardless of whether consented to by the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent or otherwise, no assignment which would result in Affiliated Lenders that are not Affiliated Debt Funds holding Term Loans with an aggregate principal amount in excess of the Affiliated Lender Term Loan Cap, shall in either case be effective with respect to such excess amount of the Term Loans (and such excess assignment shall be and be deemed null and void); *provided* that each of the parties hereto agrees and acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Agent (x) have no obligation to and shall bear no responsibility of tracking or monitoring assignment or participations by any Affiliated Lenders, (y) are not obligated to or responsible for monitoring the aggregate amount of Loans held by Affiliated Lenders or inquire as to whether any lender is an Affiliated Lender and (z) shall not be liable for any losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred or suffered by any Person in connection with any compliance or non-compliance with this clause (h)(iii) or any purported assignment exceeding the Affiliated Lender Term Loan Cap limitation or for any assignment being deemed null and void hereunder and (C) in the event of an acquisition pursuant to the last sentence of this <u>clause (h)</u> which would result in the Affiliated Lender Term Loan Cap being exceeded, the most recent assignment to an Affiliated Lender involved in such acquisition shall be unwound and deemed null and void to the extent that the Affiliated Lender Term Loan Cap, would otherwise be exceeded; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)Affiliated Lenders may not purchase Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments.

As a condition to each assignment pursuant to this <u>clause (h)</u>, (A) the Administrative Agent or Revolving Agent, as applicable, shall have been provided a notice in the form of <u>Exhibit D-2</u> to this Agreement in connection with each assignment to an Affiliated Lender or an Affiliated Debt Fund or a Person that upon effectiveness of such assignment would constitute an Affiliated Lender or an Affiliated Debt Fund, and (without limitation of the provisions of clause (iii) above) shall be under no obligation to record such assignment in the Register until three Business Days after receipt of such notice and (B) the Administrative Agent or Revolving Agent, as applicable, shall have consented to such assignment (which consent shall not be withheld unless the Administrative Agent or Revolving Agent, as applicable, reasonably believes that such assignment would violate clause (h)(iii) of this <u>Section 11.07</u>).

Each Affiliated Lender and each Affiliated Debt Fund agrees to notify the Administrative Agent or Revolving Agent, as applicable, promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days) if it acquires any Person who is also a Lender, and each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent or Revolving Agent, as applicable, promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days) if it becomes an Affiliated Lender or an Affiliated Debt Fund. Such notice shall contain the type of information required and be delivered to the same addressee as set forth in <u>Exhibit D-2</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)<u>Voting Limitations</u>. Notwithstanding anything in <u>Section 11.01</u> or the definition of "Required Lenders" to the contrary:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have (A) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or subject to <u>Section 11.07(j)</u>, any plan of reorganization pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (C) directed or required the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, in each case, that does not require the consent of a specific Lender, each Lender or each affected Lender, or does not affect such Affiliated Lender that is not an Affiliated Debt Fund in a disproportionately adverse manner as compared to other Lenders holding similar obligations, Affiliated Lenders that are not Affiliated Debt Funds will be deemed to have voted in the same proportion as non-Affiliated Lenders voting on such matters; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Affiliated Debt Funds may not in the aggregate account for more than 49.9% of the amounts set forth in the calculation of Required Lenders and any amount in excess of 49.9% will be subject to the limitations set forth in clause (i)(i) above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)<u>Insolvency Proceedings</u>. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Affiliated Lender that is not an Affiliated Debt Fund hereby agrees that, if a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law shall be commenced by or against a Borrower or any other Loan Party at a time when such Lender is an Affiliated Lender, such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Applicable Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Term Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in any manner in the Applicable Agent's sole discretion, unless the Applicable Agent instructs such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Term Loans held by it as the Applicable Agent directs; *provided* that such Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of the Applicable Agent) in connection with any plan of reorganization to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat any Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a manner that is less favorable in any material respect to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliates of the Borrowers. The Lenders and each Affiliated Lender that is not an Affiliated Debt Fund agree and acknowledge that the provisions set forth in this <u>Section 11.07(j)</u> and the related provisions set forth in each Assignment and Assumption entered into by an Affiliated Lender constitute a "subordination agreement" as such term is contemplated by, and

------

utilized in, Section 510(a) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and, as such, would be enforceable for all purposes in any case where Holdings, Holdings GP, a Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary has filed for protection under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors applicable to Holdings, Holdings GP, such Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable. Each Affiliated Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Applicable Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Affiliated Lender's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Affiliated Lender and in the name of such Affiliated Lender (solely in respect of Term Loans and participations therein and not in respect of any other claim or status such Affiliated Lender may otherwise have), from time to time in the Applicable Agent's discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Applicable Agent may deem reasonably necessary to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender as set forth in this <u>Section 11.07(j)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k)<u>Resignation of Swing Line Lender and Issuing Bank</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender may, upon thirty days' notice to the Borrowers and the Revolving Lenders, resign as an Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, respectively; *provided* that on or prior to the expiration of such 30-day period with respect to such resignation, the relevant Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender shall have identified a successor Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers willing to accept its appointment as successor Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender hereunder. In the event of any such resignation of an Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders willing to accept such appointment a successor Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender hereunder; *provided* that no failure by the Borrowers to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the relevant Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, except as expressly provided above. If an Issuing Bank resigns as an Issuing Bank, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an Issuing Bank and all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to <u>Section 2.04(c)</u>). If the Swing Line Lender resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to <u>Section 2.03(c)</u>. Upon the appointment by the Borrowers of a successor Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender), (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, (ii) the retiring Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l)<u>Assignments to Borrowers, etc</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Any Lender may, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans and the Term Loan Commitments under this Agreement to Holdings, Holdings GP, a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries through (i) Dutch auctions open to all Lenders in accordance with the procedures set forth on <u>Exhibit L</u> or (ii) open market purchases, bilateral arrangements, privately negotiated arrangements, exchange offers (including for cash, other property, Equity Interests or other Indebtedness), and other negotiated transactions on a non-*pro rata* basis, in each case subject to the following limitations; *provided*, that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B)if the assignee is a Borrower (including through contribution or transfers set forth in <u>clause (A)</u> above or <u>Section 11.07(l)(ii)</u>), (1) the principal amount of such

------

Term Loans, along with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, so contributed, assigned or transferred to such Borrower shall be deemed automatically cancelled and extinguished on the date of such contribution, assignment or transfer and (2) such Borrower shall promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent of such contribution, assignment or transfer of such Term Loans, and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable Term Loans in the Register; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C)if the proceeds of any Revolving Loans are used to finance such purchase and assignment, on a Pro Forma Basis for such assignment the Borrowers' Liquidity equals or exceeds 33.33% of the Revolving Commitments (whether or not drawn) as of the date of determination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Any Affiliated Lender may, in its discretion (but is not required to), assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans and the Term Loan Commitments under this Agreement to Holdings, Holdings GP, a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (regardless of whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom), on a non-*pro rata* basis, for purposes of cancelling such Term Loans or Term Loan Commitments, which may include contribution (with the consent of the Borrowers) to a Borrower (whether through any Parent Entity or otherwise) in exchange for (A) debt permitted under <u>Section 7.03</u> on a dollar-for-dollar basis or (B) Equity Interests of a Borrower (or any Parent Entity) that are otherwise permitted to be incurred or issued by such Borrower (or such direct or indirect Parent Entity) at such time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the Revolving Lenders hereby agree that (i) following an acceleration of the Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof, (ii) in the event that a Borrower, the Revolving Agent or the Administrative Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to any departure or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents and the amendment or waiver in question requires the consent of all affected Lenders or all the Lenders and the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment but any Revolving Lenders have not so consented or (iii) following the occurrence of any Event of Default (each, a "**Purchase Event**"), within fifteen (15) Business Days of the occurrence of such Purchase Event, one or more Term Loan Lenders may request (and in connection therewith the Term Loan Lenders shall work together in good faith to coordinate and consummate any such request), and the Revolving Lenders hereby offer to such Term Loan Lenders the option, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the aggregate amount of outstanding Obligations owing to the Revolving Lenders, at the time of purchase at par (which shall include, with respect to the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit, an amount in cash equal to 103% thereof for purposes of cash collateralization thereof) plus accrued and unpaid interest and fees, without warranty or representation or recourse (except for representations and warranties required to be made by assigning lenders pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption). If such right is exercised, (A) the parties shall endeavor to close promptly thereafter but in any event within ten (10) Business Days of the request and (B) such Obligations shall be purchased pro rata among the requesting Term Loan Lenders according to such Term Loan Lenders' Pro Rata Share on the date of purchase pursuant to this <u>Section 11.07(m)</u>. If any Term Loan Lenders exercise this purchase right, it shall be exercised pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption.

SECTION 11.08<u>Confidentiality</u>. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information in accordance with its customary procedures (as set forth below), except that Information may be disclosed,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)to any other party hereto (it being understood that in no event shall such disclosure be made to any Disqualified Lender (other than a Net Short Lender (x) that provides a Net Short Representation at the time of such disclosure or (y) as to which the disclosing party does not have actual knowledge that such Person is a Net Short Lender) pursuant to this <u>clause (d)</u> but only to the extent the list of such Disqualified Lenders is available to all Lenders upon request),

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)subject to an agreement containing provisions at least as restrictive as those of this <u>Section 11.08</u> (it being understood that in no event shall such disclosure be made to any Disqualified Lender (other than a Net Short Lender (x) that provides a Net Short Representation at the time of such disclosure or (y) as to which the disclosing party does not have actual knowledge that such Person is a Net Short Lender) pursuant to this <u>clause (f)</u> but only to the extent that a list of such Disqualified Lenders is available to all Lenders upon request), to (i) any *bona fide* assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be an Additional Lender or (ii) any actual or prospective direct or indirect counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective obligations,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)with the prior written consent of the Borrowers,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender), or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this <u>Section 11.08</u> or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lead Arranger, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Holdings, Holdings GP, a Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof, and which source is not known by such Person to be subject to a confidentiality restriction in respect thereof in favor of the Borrowers or any Affiliate of the Borrowers.

In addition, each of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loans, market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

For purposes of this <u>Section 11.08</u>, "**Information**" means all information received from or on behalf of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure

------

by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof; it being understood that all information received from Holdings, Holdings GP, a Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof shall be deemed confidential unless such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as not being confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this <u>Section 11.08</u> shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so in accordance with its customary procedures if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders acknowledges that (A) the Information may include Private-Side Information concerning Holdings, Holdings GP, a Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (B) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of Private-Side Information and (C) it will handle such Private-Side Information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States federal and state securities laws and Canadian federal, provincial and territorial securities laws.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary therein, nothing in any Loan Document shall require Holdings or any of its subsidiaries to provide information (i) that constitutes non-financial trade secrets or non-financial proprietary information, (ii) in respect of which disclosure is prohibited by applicable Law, (iii) that is subject to attorney client or similar privilege or constitutes attorney work product or (iv) the disclosure of which is restricted by binding agreements not entered into primarily for the purpose of qualifying for the exclusion in this <u>clause (iv)</u>.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this confidentiality provision shall prohibit any Person from voluntarily disclosing or providing any information within the scope of this confidentiality provision to any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory organization (any such entity, a "**Regulatory Authority**") to the extent that any such prohibition on disclosure set forth in this confidentiality provision shall be prohibited by the laws or regulations applicable to such Regulatory Authority.

SECTION 11.09<u>Set-off</u>. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and/or the Revolving Agent, as applicable, without notice to any Loan Party or to any other Person (other than the Administrative Agent and/or the Revolving Agent, as applicable), any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or such Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of a Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, the Letters of Credit and participations therein, irrespective of whether or not (a) such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (b) the principal of or the interest on the Loans or any amounts in respect of the Letters of Credit or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to <u>Article II</u> and although such obligations of such Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or such Issuing Bank different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; *provided* that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (i) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent and/or the Revolving Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of <u>Sections 2.15</u> and <u>2.19</u> and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent, the Issuing Banks, and the Lenders, and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent and/or the Revolving Agent, as applicable a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and each Issuing Bank and their

------

respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender or such Issuing Bank or Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and/or the Revolving Agent, as applicable promptly after any such set-off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

SECTION 11.10<u>Interest Rate Limitation</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents with respect to any of the Obligations shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the "**Maximum Rate**"). If any 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 Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an 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 hereunder. If the rate of interest under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Maximum Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Maximum Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrowers shall pay to the Applicable Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Maximum Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the Lenders and the Borrowers to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws.

Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Borrowing or issuance of a Letter of Credit, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit remain outstanding.

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

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

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

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

SECTION 11.26<u>Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs</u>. (a) To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise (including the Guaranty), for any Hedge Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, "**QFC Credit Support**", and each such QFC, a "**Supported QFC**"), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the "**U.S. Special Resolution Regimes**") in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the

------

Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

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

SECTION 11.27<u>Collective Actions</u>. Each Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each other Secured Party irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to be its sole and exclusive agent for, and its sole and exclusive representative with respect to, enforcement of the Loan Documents and all rights and remedies related to the Transactions and the Obligations. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Agent, each Lender and each other Secured Party agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent will have the sole and exclusive right and ability (exercisable only at the direction of the Required Lenders (or, with respect to a Financial Covenant Event of Default, the Required Revolving Lenders) or in its discretion),

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)to exercise all rights and remedies of each Agent, each Lender, each other Secured Party and any other Person arising under, in connection with, or pertaining to the Loan Documents, the Transactions or the Obligations, including with respect to any breach of a representation or warranty, an affirmative covenant, a negative covenant, a Financial Covenant, any provision relating to amendments or waivers (including Section 11.01(b)), any provision relating to assignments, any implied covenant (including any implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing), to the extent not waived or any other similar implied obligations and any rights of a Lender or other Secured Party as a creditor under Applicable Law or to bring any Cause of Action relating to the Loan Documents, the Transactions or the Obligations, and including in connection with any amendment, modification, waiver or restatement of, any restructuring or restructuring transaction related to or undertaken in connection with, or any interpretation of the provisions of, any Loan Document or Obligation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)to exercise any rights of self-help or other rights or Causes of Action available under Applicable Law (including in equity) against any Loan Party, any Restricted Subsidiary, any direct or indirect holder of an Equity Interest in a Loan Party, any Affiliate of the foregoing Persons and their respective directors, officers, or employees, in each case, with respect to or arising out of or in connection with the Transactions, the Obligations or the Loan Documents (including with respect to any derivative claims); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)to assert or allege the existence or occurrence of, or support or participate in any other Person (other than the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent) asserting or alleging the existence of, any Default or Event of Default or any other Cause of Action related to the Loan Documents, the Transactions or the Obligations against any Loan Party or any other Person

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)(collectively, the "**Collective Rights and Remedies**");

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)the authority to enforce, assert or allege any Collective Right and Remedy is vested exclusively in, and all Causes of Action, actions and proceedings at law or in equity in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent (other than with respect to the Collateral Documents) or the Collateral Agent (with respect to the Collateral Documents) in accordance with this <u>Article XI</u> for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Issuing Banks and no Lender or other Secured Party shall have any right individually or collectively (other than through the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent) to enforce, assert or allege (and each agrees not to so enforce, assert or allege) any Collective Rights and Remedies, including to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or enforce rights or remedies thereunder, it being understood and agreed that Collective Rights and Remedies, including all powers, rights and remedies under this Agreement and under any of the other Loan Documents, may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, for the benefit of the Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, and all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof, and each Secured Party agrees to commence, support or participate in actions or proceedings relating to the Obligations only in a manner consistent with the foregoing provisions; and neither any Lender nor any other Secured Party will (and each such Person will take such actions as may be required or advisable so that none of its Affiliates will) initiate, support or participate in any action, proceeding, or other Cause of Action relating to the Loan Documents, the Transactions or the Obligations, judicial or otherwise, in connection with a Collective Right and Remedy, or otherwise initiate, support or participate in the exercise a Collective Rights and Remedy, other than,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)through the Required Lenders' (or, as applicable the Required Revolving Lenders') direction of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent in exercising such rights and remedies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)any Lender exercising any right of setoff in accordance with Section 11.09 (subject to the terms of Section 2.15);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)the Administrative Agent, or the Collateral Agent exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)if (notwithstanding the foregoing) any Lender or any Secured Party (or any of their respective Affiliates) initiates, supports or participates in any action, proceeding or other Cause of Action, judicial or otherwise, in violation of this Agreement (including this clause (C), such a proceeding, a "**Prohibited Proceeding**") then the Lender or Secured Party that initiates, supports or participates such an action, proceeding or Cause of Action (or that is Affiliated with the Person doing so) shall immediately cause such action, proceeding or Cause of Action to be dismissed (with prejudice) and the Loan Parties, the Restricted Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates shall have the right to be indemnified and reimbursed by such Lender or Secured Party for all fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, without limitation of any other rights and remedies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)prior to taking any action with respect to Collective Rights and Remedies, at the request of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, the Lenders instructing the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall post cash indemnity with the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and their respective Related Parties, of not less than the sum of (I) all fees, costs and expenses that the Administrative Agent determines, in its sole discretion, could foreseeably be incurred in connection with such action and (II) the amount of any claims, obligations or liability, via counter-claims or otherwise, that either the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent determines, in its sole discretion, could foreseeably be awarded or incurred by it in connection with such

------

action. Such cash indemnity shall either be deposited directly with the Administrative Agent or deposited with a third-party escrow agent, subject to terms and conditions as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, in each case, prior to the commencement of such action; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)the foregoing provisions may be pleaded by any Loan Party as a full and complete defense to any Prohibited Proceeding and may be used as a basis for an injunction against any action, suit or other proceeding (without any need to post a bond or other indemnity), and each of the Loan Parties and the Secured Parties confirms that the foregoing provisions of this <u>clause (e)</u> are a material provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and in light of their agreed salutary purpose and effect are not intended to be construed strictly or read narrowly.
