SECTION 1.6. <u>Exchange Rates; Reset Dates.</u> (a) At approximately 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) or as close to such time as is reasonably practicable, on each Calculation Date, the Administrative Agent (or, with respect to any Multi-Currency Letter of Credit or Multi-Currency LC Disbursement, the applicable Multi-Currency Issuing Bank) shall (i) determine the Exchange Rate as of such Calculation Date with respect to each Foreign Currency in which any outstanding Loan, any outstanding Letter of Credit or any unreimbursed LC Disbursement is denominated and (ii) give notice thereof to the Banks of the applicable Class and Allegion plc. The Exchange Rates so determined shall become effective on the first Euro-Currency Business Day immediately following the relevant Calculation Date (a "<u>Reset Date</u>"), shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset Date and shall for all purposes of this Agreement (other than converting into Dollars under Sections 2.18(d), 2.18(e), 2.18(h), 2.18(i) and 2.18(j) the obligations of the Borrowers and the Additional Borrowers and the Revolving Banks in respect of LC Disbursements that have not been reimbursed when due) be the Exchange Rates employed in converting any amounts between the applicable currencies.

SECTION 1.7. <u>Additional Foreign Currencies.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Borrowers may from time to time request that Euro-Currency Loans be made and/or Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other than those specifically listed in the definition of "Foreign Currency"; <u>provided</u> that such requested currency is an Eligible Currency. In the case of any such request with respect to the making of Multi-Currency Loans, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and each Bank; 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 Multi-Currency Issuing Banks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Any such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., twenty (20) Domestic Business Days prior to the date of the desired Borrowing or issuance, extension or the increase in the amount of any Letter of Credit (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Multi-Currency Issuing Banks, in its or their sole discretion). In the case of any such request pertaining to Euro-Currency Loans, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank thereof; and in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Multi-Currency Issuing Banks thereof. Each Bank (in the case of any such request pertaining to Euro-Currency Loans) or the Multi-Currency Issuing Banks (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) Domestic Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of Euro-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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Any failure by a Bank or a Multi-Currency 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 Bank or Multi-Currency Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to permit Euro-Currency Loans to be made or Letters of Credit to be issued in such requested currency. If the Administrative Agent and all the Banks consent to making Euro-Currency Loans in such requested currency and the Administrative Agent and such Banks reasonably determine that an appropriate interest rate is available to be used for such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrowers and (i) the Administrative Agent and such Banks may amend the definition of Multi-Currency Daily Rate or Multi-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 Multi-Currency Daily Rate or Multi-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 a Foreign Currency for purposes of any Borrowings of Euro-Currency Loans. If the Administrative Agent and the Multi-Currency Issuing Banks consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrowers and (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Multi-Currency Issuing Banks may amend the definition of Multi-Currency Daily Rate or Multi-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 Multi-Currency Daily Rate or Multi-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 a Foreign Currency, for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances. If the Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.7, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Borrowers. Any specified currency of an Existing Letter of Credit that is neither Dollars nor one of the Foreign Currencies specifically listed in the definition of "Foreign Currency" shall be deemed a Foreign Currency with respect to such Existing Letter of Credit only.

SECTION 1.8. <u>Change of Currency.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Each obligation of the Borrowers to make a payment denominated in the national currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the euro as its lawful currency after the date hereof shall be redenominated into euro at the time of such adoption. If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the euro as its lawful currency; <u>provided</u> that, if any Borrowing in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the euro.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect a change in currency of any other country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the change in currency.

SECTION 1.9. <u>Interest Rates.</u> The Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall the Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to any reference rate referred to herein or with respect to any rate (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the selection of such rate and any related spread or other adjustment) that is an alternative or replacement for or successor to any such rate (including, without limitation, any Successor Rate or any Euro-Currency Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing) or the effect of any of the foregoing, or of any Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions or other activities that affect any reference rate referred to herein, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including, without limitation, any Successor Rate or any Euro-Currency Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing) or any related spread or other adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any reference rate referred to herein or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including, without limitation, any Successor Rate or any Euro-Currency Successor Rate) **(**or any component of any of the foregoing), in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrowers, any Bank or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or other action or omission related to or affecting the selection, determination, or calculation of any rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

SECTION 1.10. <u>Divisions.</u> For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction's laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time. Any reference herein and in the Loan Documents to a merger, transfer, consolidation, amalgamation, consolidation, assignment, sale, disposition or transfer, or similar term, shall be deemed to apply to a division or plan of division of or by a limited liability company, or an allocation of assets to a series of a limited liability company (or the unwinding of such a division or allocation), as if it were a merger, transfer, consolidation, amalgamation, consolidation, assignment, sale, disposition or transfer, or similar term, as applicable, to, of or with a separate Person. Any division of a limited liability company shall constitute a separate Person hereunder (and each division of any limited liability company that is a Subsidiary, joint venture or any other like term shall also constitute such a Person or entity).

&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) Pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement, each Term Bank thereunder made term loans in Dollars to Allegion plc in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000,000 (the "<u>Existing Term Loans</u>"). Immediately prior to the Effective Date, the outstanding principal balance of the Existing Term Loans is $221,875,000. Such Existing Term Loans shall continue to be outstanding and shall be deemed to have been made as loans under this Agreement (each individually, a "Term Loan" and, collectively, the "<u>Term Loans</u>"). Any amounts prepaid or repaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed.<u>[reserved].</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Each Loan made pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type.

&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 Class of such Borrowing,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing and, in the case of a Multi-Currency Revolving Borrowing, whether such Borrowing is to be denominated in English pounds sterling, euros or another Foreign Currency,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) in the case of Loans to be made in Dollars, whether the Loans comprising such Borrowing are to be Base Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans, and

Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; <u>provided</u> that there shall not be more than a total of ten Euro-Currency Borrowings in the aggregate at any time outstanding.

SECTION 2.3. <u>[Reserved]</u><u>Increase in Commitments</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>(a)</u> <u>Request for Increase. Upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Banks), the Borrowers may request an increase in the aggregate Revolving Commitments (an "Incremental Revolving Commitment"), by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $500,000,000; <u>provided</u> that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000, and (ii) the Borrowers may make a maximum of three such requests. At the time of sending such notice, the Borrowers (</u><u>in consultation with the</u> <u>Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Bank is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Banks).</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;<u>(b)</u> <u>Bank Elections to Increase. Each Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees, in its sole and absolute discretion to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Revolving Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Percentage of such Incremental Revolving Commitment. Any Bank not responding within such time period</u> <u>shall be deemed to have</u> <u>declined to provide such Incremental Revolving Commitment.</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;<u>(c)</u> <u>Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and each Bank of the Banks' responses to each request made hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>(d)</u> <u>Effective Date and Allocations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>(e)</u> <u>Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such Incremental Revolving Commitment, (i) the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (x) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such Incremental Revolving Commitment, and (y) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Commitment, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article IV and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (provided that representations qualified by "materiality" or "Material Adverse Effect" shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except representations and warranties that specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.3, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 4.4 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to subsections (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 5.1, and (B) no Default exists or would result therefrom and (ii) (x) upon the reasonable request of any Bank made at least ten Domestic Business Days prior to the Increase Effective Date, the Borrowers shall have provided to such Bank, and such Bank shall be reasonably satisfied with, the documentation and other information so requested in connection with applicable "know your customer" and anti-money-laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the PATRIOT Act, in each case at least five Domestic Business Days prior to the Increase Effective Date and (y) at least five Domestic Business Days prior to the Increase Effective Date, any Borrower that qualifies as a "legal entity customer" under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation shall have delivered, to each Bank that so requests, a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to such Borrower. The Borrowers shall prepay any Revolving Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.4) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Revolving Commitments under this Section.</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;<u>(f)</u> <u>Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 9.5 to the contrary.</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;<u>(g)</u> <u>Incremental Revolver Amendment. Any Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be evidenced by an amendment (an "Incremental Revolver Amendment") to this Agreement, giving effect to the modifications permitted by this Section 2.3 (and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.3(e)), executed by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and each Bank providing a portion of the Incremental Revolving Commitment; which such amendment, when so executed, shall amend this Agreement as provided therein. Each Incremental Revolver Amendment may also provide for such amendments to the Loan Documents, and such other new Loan Documents, as the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to effect the modifications and credit extensions permitted by this Section 2.3. Neither any Incremental Revolver Amendment, nor any such amendments to the other Loan Documents or such other new Loan Documents, shall be required to be executed or approved by any Bank, other than the Banks providing such Incremental Revolving Commitment and the Administrative Agent, in order to be effective. The effectiveness of any Incremental Revolver Amendment</u> <u>shall be subject to the</u> <u>satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 2.3(e) and as such other conditions as requested by the Banks under the Incremental Revolving Commitment established in connection therewith.</u>

SECTION 2.4. <u>Notice to Banks; Funding of Loans.</u> (a) Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank's share (if any) of such Borrowing and such Notice of Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by the requesting Borrower or Additional Borrower, as the case may be; <u>provided</u> that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.23. Each Bank at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Bank to make such Loan (subject to the provision by such branch or Affiliate, prior to such branch or Affiliate receiving any payments pursuant to the Loan Documents, of any documentation required pursuant to Section 2.15); <u>provided</u> that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower or the applicable Additional Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Not later than 12:30 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of each Borrowing, each Bank participating therein shall (except as provided in subsection 2.4(c) of this Section) make available its share of such Borrowing, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City to the Administrative Agent at its address specified in or pursuant to Section 9.1 (or, in the case of any Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency, at such other address as the Administrative Agent may specify from time to time by written notice to Allegion plc and the Banks). Unless the Administrative Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in Article III has not been satisfied, the Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from such Banks available in like funds to the applicable Borrower or the applicable Additional Borrower, as the case may be, at the Administrative Agent's aforesaid address. If any Bank makes a new Loan with respect to any Class hereunder on a day on which the applicable Borrower or the applicable Additional Borrower, as the case may be, is to repay all or any part of an outstanding Loan of such Class from such Bank, such Bank shall apply the proceeds of its new Loan of such Class to make such repayment and only an amount equal to the difference (if any) between the amount being borrowed and the amount being repaid shall be made available by such Bank to the Administrative Agent as provided in this subsection 2.4(b), or remitted by the applicable Borrower or the applicable Additional Borrower, as the case may be, to the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 2.12, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Bank of the applicable Class prior to the date (or, if a Base Rate Borrowing, the time) of any Borrowing that such Bank will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank's share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection 2.4(b) of this Section 2.4 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower or the applicable Additional Borrower, as the case may be, on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made such share available to the Administrative Agent, such Bank and such Borrower or such Additional Borrower, as the case may be, severally (as between the Banks and any Borrower or applicable Additional Borrower) and jointly and severally (as between the Borrowers or applicable Additional Borrower) agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Bank, the greater of the applicable Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans, or in the case of Foreign Currencies, in accordance with such market practice, in each case, as applicable. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Bank with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank's Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.5. <u>Evidence of Debt.</u> (a) Each Bank shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrowers and any Additional Borrower to such Bank resulting from the Loans of such Bank from time to time, including the Class thereof and the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Bank from time to time under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to subsection 9.6(g), and a subaccount therein for each Bank, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers and any Additional Borrower to each Bank hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrowers and any Additional Borrower and each Bank's share thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Bank maintained pursuant to subsection 2.5(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrowers and any Additional Borrower therein recorded; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the failure of any Bank or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers or any Additional Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) any Loans made to the Borrowers or such Additional Borrower by such Bank in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Each Borrower and each Additional Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Bank, such Borrower or such Additional Borrower will execute and deliver to such Bank a single Note of such Borrower or such Additional Borrower, as the case may be, evidencing the Loans of each Class of such 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;(b) Any prepayment of a Term Borrowing shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Term Borrowings pursuant to this Section as directed by the Borrowers (or, in the absence of a direction by the Borrowers, in direct order of maturity thereof).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Each repayment of a Term Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Term Borrowing. All repayments of Term Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid.

SECTION 2.7. <u>Interest Rates</u>. (a) Each Base Rate Loan (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate for such day plus the Applicable Margin. Such interest shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Domestic Business Day of each calendar quarter ending on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year and, in the case of a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan (including a Swingline Loan), upon the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments in their entirety. Each Term SOFR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Term SOFR for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin. Such interest shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Term SOFR Loan and the Maturity Date; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that if any Interest Period for such Term SOFR Loan exceeds three months, interest shall be payable on the respective dates that fall every three months after the beginning of such Interest Period. Any overdue principal of or interest on any Base Rate Loan or Term SOFR Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day from and including the date payment thereof was due to but excluding the date of actual payment, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans, as applicable, for such day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) (x) Each Multi-Currency Daily Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Multi-Currency Daily Rate plus the Applicable Margin and (y) each Multi-Currency Term Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Multi-Currency Term Rate for such Interest Period <u>plus</u> the Applicable Margin. Such interest shall be payable (i) as to any Multi-Currency Daily Rate Loans, the last Euro-Currency Business Day of each month and the Maturity Date and (ii) as to any Multi-Currency Term Rate Loan, for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, at intervals of three months after the first day thereof. Any overdue principal of or interest on any Euro-Currency Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day from and including the date payment thereof was due to but excluding the date of actual payment, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus an interest rate equal to the interest rate (including any Applicable Margin) otherwise applicable to such Loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) [Reserved].

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) [Reserved].

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrowers and the participating Banks of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 2.8. <u>Fees.</u> (a) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Banks a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Margin on the daily unused amount of the Revolving Commitments of each Revolving Bank during the period from and including the date hereof to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date of this Agreement, and upon the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments in their entirety. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees, a Revolving Commitment of a Bank shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such Bank (and any Swingline Exposure of such Bank shall be disregarded for such purpose and no portion of the Revolving Commitments shall be deemed utilized as a result of outstanding Swingline Loans).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Bank a participation fee, payable in Dollars, with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the Applicable Margin for Term SOFR and Euro-Currency Loans on the average daily amount of the Dollar Equivalent of such Bank's total LC Exposure during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Bank's Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Revolving Bank ceases to have any LC Exposure. The Borrowers also jointly and severally agree to pay to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at a rate of 0.125% per annum or at such rate as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Borrowers and such Issuing Bank on the daily aggregate face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank's standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Domestic Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; <u>provided</u> that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

SECTION 2.9. <u>Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitments.</u> The Borrowers may, upon at least one Business Day's notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall give prompt notice thereof to each applicable Bank), (i) terminate the Commitments of any Class at any time; <u>provided</u> that Revolving Commitments or Swingline Commitments shall not be terminated if Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans (as applicable) are outstanding at such time, or (ii) ratably reduce from time to time by a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 (or the Foreign Currency Equivalent thereof, in the case of Multi-Currency Revolving Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency) or any multiple of $1,000,000 (or the Foreign Currency Equivalent thereof, in the case of Multi-Currency Revolving Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency) in excess thereof, the aggregate amount of the Commitments of any Class; <u>provided</u> that (i) in the case of the reduction of Revolving Commitments or Swingline Commitments, any outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans (as applicable) that would exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments or Swingline Commitments (as applicable) after any such reduction must be prepaid at the time of such reduction, together with any related amounts payable under Section 2.13 in connection therewith and (ii) a notice of termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments or Swingline Commitments delivered under this paragraph may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice will be deemed revoked by the Borrowers on or prior to the specified effective date if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of any Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Banks in accordance with their respective Commitments in such Class.

SECTION 2.10. <u>Mandatory Termination of Commitments; Mandatory Prepayments.</u> (a) The Revolving Commitments and Swingline Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date, and any Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans then outstanding (together with accrued interest thereon) shall be due and payable on such date. Unless previously terminated, the initial Term Commitments shall automatically terminate upon the reallocation of the Existing Term Loans on the Effective Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If, on any day, the Revolving Exposure exceeds 105% of the aggregate Revolving Commitments on such date, the Borrowers and any Additional Borrowers shall, within five Euro-Currency Business Days, prepay sufficient outstanding Revolving Loans made by Revolving Banks in an aggregate principal amount (together with interest accrued to the date of such prepayment on the principal so prepaid and any amounts payable under Section 2.13 in connection therewith) such that, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Exposure does not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments on such date. If, on the last day of any Interest Period for any Revolving Borrowing, the Revolving Exposure exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments on such date, the Borrowers and any Additional Borrowers shall, within five Euro-Currency Business Days, prepay sufficient outstanding Revolving Loans made by Revolving Banks in an aggregate principal amount (together with interest accrued to the date of such prepayment on the principal so prepaid and any amounts payable under Section 2.13 in connection therewith) such that, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Exposure does not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments on such date; <u>provided</u> that the aggregate principal amount of the prepayment required pursuant to this sentence on any such occasion shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Revolving Borrowings. Each such mandatory prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Revolving Loans made by Revolving Banks included in each Borrowing so prepaid.

SECTION 2.11. <u>Optional Prepayments.</u> (a) Any Borrower or any Additional Borrower may (i) (x) upon at least one Domestic Business Day's notice to the Administrative Agent (and in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Bank), prepay any Base Rate Borrowing and (y) upon at least two Domestic Business Days' notice to the Administrative Agent (and in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Bank), prepay any Term SOFR Borrowing and (ii) upon at least three Euro-Currency Business Days' notice to the Administrative Agent, subject to Section 2.13, prepay any Euro-Currency Borrowing, in whole at any time, or from time to time in part, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment and any amounts payable under Section 2.13 in connection therewith; <u>provided</u> that any such partial prepayment of any Borrowing of any Class shall be in the amount of $5,000,000 (or the Foreign Currency Equivalent thereof, in the case of Foreign Currency Loans) or any multiple of $1,000,000 (or the Foreign Currency Equivalent thereof, in the case of Foreign Currency Loans) in excess thereof. Any such optional prepayment of Revolving Loans shall be applied to prepay ratably the Revolving Loans of the several Revolving Banks included in such Borrowing. Any such optional prepayment of Term Loans shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.6. If a notice of optional prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments of any Class or Swingline Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.9, then such notice of prepayment shall be deemed revoked if such notice of termination is or is deemed revoked in accordance with Section 2.9. A notice of prepayment of Term Borrowings of any Class pursuant to this Section may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice shall be deemed revoked by the Borrowers if such condition is not satisfied.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) [Reserved].

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline Loans), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of such Class of the contents thereof and of such Bank's ratable share (if any) of such prepayment and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the applicable Borrower or the applicable Additional Borrower, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.12. <u>General Provisions as to Payments.</u> (a) The Borrowers and each Additional Borrower, as applicable, shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest on the Loans, fees or amounts payable under Sections 2.13, 2.15, 8.3 or 9.3, or otherwise) without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind (in each case, unless required by law or by this Agreement), not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the date when due, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.1, except that payments required to be made directly to any Issuing Bank or Swingline Bank shall be so made and payments pursuant to Sections 2.13, 2.15, 2.23, 8.3 or 9.3 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Bank of the applicable Class its ratable share (if any) of each such payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks of such Class. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Base Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Euro-Currency Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Currency Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Euro-Currency Business Day unless such Euro-Currency Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Euro-Currency Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the relevant Borrower or the relevant Additional Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks of any Class hereunder that such Borrower or such Additional Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower or such Additional Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent that such Borrower or such Additional Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Bank of such Class shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

SECTION 2.13. <u>Funding Losses.</u> If any Borrower or any Additional Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any Term SOFR Loan or Fixed Rate Loan (pursuant to Section 2.11, Article VI or VIII or otherwise, but not pursuant to Section 8.2) of any Class on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, if any Borrower or any Additional Borrower fails to borrow, continue or convert any Term SOFR Loans or Fixed Rate Loans after notice has been given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.4(a) or 2.19 or if any Borrower or any Additional Borrower fails to prepay any Term SOFR Loans or Fixed Rate Loans after notice has been given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.11(c), such Borrower or such Additional Borrower shall jointly and severally reimburse each Bank of such Class within 30 days after demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or by an existing or prospective Participant in the related Loan), including any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment or failure to borrow or prepay; <u>provided</u> that such Bank shall have delivered to such Borrower or such Additional Borrower a certificate setting forth the calculation of the amount of such loss or expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 2.14. <u>Computation of Interest and Fees.</u> Interest based on the Base Rate (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Term SOFR Rate) and interest and fees based on amounts denominated in Foreign Currencies hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day), or, in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in Foreign Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. Except as set forth in Section 2.8, all other interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

SECTION 2.15. <u>Taxes.</u> (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of each Loan Party hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes; <u>provided</u> that if a Loan Party shall be required by law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the Administrative Agent or the applicable Bank receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Each Loan Party shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of such Loan Party hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Loan Party by a Bank or by the Administrative Agent, on its own behalf or on behalf of any Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Each Bank shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for (i) the full amount of any Taxes attributable to such Bank (but, in the case of Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that a Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes, and without limiting the obligation of each Loan Party to do so) and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Bank's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.6(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in each case, that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Documents and any penalties, interest and 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 the applicable Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Bank from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph 2.15(d).

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Any Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to any Borrower, any Additional Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by any Borrower, any Additional Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by any Borrower, any Additional Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Bank, if reasonably requested by any Borrower, any Additional Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by any Borrower, any Additional Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable any Borrower, any Additional Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.15(f)(i), 2.15(f)(ii) and 2.15(f)(iv) below) shall not be required if in the Bank's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Bank. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is a U.S. Person,

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

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) in the case of a Foreign Bank claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1 to the effect that such Foreign Bank is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a "10 percent shareholder" of any U.S. Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code or a "controlled foreign corporation" described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a "<u>U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate</u>") and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

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

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) On or prior to the date on which the Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of any Borrower), the Administrative Agent will deliver to such Borrower either (i) an executed copy of IRS Form W-9, or (ii) (x) with respect to any amount received on its own account, an executed copy of an applicable IRS Form W -8, and (y) with respect to any amount received for or on account of any Bank, an executed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY certifying on Part 1, Part II and Part VI thereof that it is a U.S. branch that has agreed to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to payments received by it from such Borrower in its capacity as Administrative Agent, as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide the certification described in the prior sentence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, a Bank which makes a Loan to an Irish Borrower and which is an Irish Qualifying Bank, within paragraph (b), (c) or (d) of that definition, shall deliver to the Irish Borrower an Irish Tax Confirmation. An Irish Qualifying Bank which becomes a party hereunder on the Effective Date shall deliver an Irish Tax Confirmation to Allegion plc by entering into this Agreement. If, following an assignment, or transfer or a participation of a Bank's rights or obligations hereunder, an Irish Qualifying Bank, within paragraph (b), (c) or (d) of that definition, becomes a party hereunder or becomes a Participant after the day on which this Agreement is entered into, such Bank or Participant shall deliver to an Irish Borrower an Irish Tax Confirmation on or prior to becoming a party hereunder. An Irish Qualifying Bank, within paragraph (b), (c) or (d) of that definition, shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and an Irish Borrower if there is any change in the position from that set out in any Irish Tax Confirmation. An Irish Treaty Bank shall provide an Irish Borrower a Form 8-3-5 Interest in accordance with the procedure set out in Tax and Duty Manual Part 08-03-06 issued by the Irish Revenue Commissioners certifying that it is entitled to receive interest from an Irish Borrower without a deduction for or on account of Irish income tax in accordance with the Irish Tax Treaty entered into between Ireland and that Irish Treaty Bank's country of residence. Any Bank to which interest may be paid free of withholding tax due to such Bank falling within paragraph (b), (c) or (d) of the definition of Irish Qualifying Bank shall provide to an Irish Borrower such information as is necessary to enable the Irish Borrower to comply with its reporting obligations under Sections 891A, 891E, 891F and 891G of the TCA and any regulations made pursuant to those sections.

&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 any party determines, in its sole, reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.15 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph the payment of which would place such indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) <u>Survival</u>. Each party's obligations under this Section 2.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the termination of the Revolving Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) <u>Defined Terms</u>. For purposes of this Section 2.15, the term "Bank" includes any Issuing Bank.

SECTION 2.16. <u>Additional Borrowers.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) On or after the Effective Date, Allegion plc may designate any wholly-owned Subsidiary of Allegion plc as an Additional Borrower by delivery to the Administrative Agent, at least ten Domestic Business Days prior to such designation, of (i) an Additional Borrower Agreement executed by such Subsidiary, the Guarantors and the Borrowers, substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto (each, an "<u>Additional Borrower Agreement</u>") and (ii) a favorable written opinion (addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Banks) of counsel of such Subsidiary or Subsidiaries (which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent). Upon delivery of the above-mentioned documents, such Subsidiary shall for all purposes of this Agreement be an Additional Borrower and a party to this Agreement. Promptly following receipt of any Additional Borrower Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall send a copy thereof to each 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;(b) As soon as practicable after receiving notice from Allegion plc or the Administrative Agent of Allegion plc's intent to designate a Subsidiary as an Additional Borrower, and in any event at least five Domestic Business Days prior to the delivery of an executed Additional Borrower Agreement to the Administrative Agent pursuant to <u>Section 2.16(a)</u>, for an Additional Borrower that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than (i) the United States of America, or a political subdivision thereof, (ii) Ireland, (iii) Bermuda, or (iv) the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, any Bank that may not legally or pursuant to its bona fide internal lending policies lend to, establish credit for the account of and/or do any business whatsoever with such Additional Borrower directly or through an Affiliate of such Bank, as provided in <u>Section 2.4(a)</u> (a "<u>Protesting Bank</u>"), shall so notify Allegion plc and the Administrative Agent in writing. With respect to each Protesting Bank, Allegion plc shall, effective on or before the date that such Additional Borrower shall have the right to borrow hereunder, either (i) notify the Administrative Agent and such Protesting Bank that the Commitments of such Protesting Bank shall be terminated; <u>provided</u> that such Protesting Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and/or unreimbursed Letters of Credit obligations, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, (ii) substitute such Protesting Bank in accordance with the provisions of <u>Section 8.5</u> hereof or (iii) cancel the request to designate such Subsidiary as an "Additional Borrower" hereunder.

SECTION 2.17. <u>Additional Borrower Costs.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If the cost to any Bank of making or maintaining any Loan to an Additional Borrower is increased, or the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) is reduced, by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, by reason of the fact that such Additional Borrower is organized under the laws of, or principally conducts its business in, a jurisdiction or jurisdictions outside the United States of America, the Borrowers and such Additional Borrower shall indemnify such Bank for such increased cost or reduction within 30 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent). A certificate of such Bank claiming compensation under this subsection (a) and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder, together with calculations in reasonable detail supporting such amounts, shall be conclusive in the absence of clearly demonstrable error. Except for increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable required by applicable law or regulation in existence at the time that an Additional Borrower joins this Agreement and notified to Allegion plc at least two Domestic Business Days prior to the effectiveness of the designation of the applicable Additional Borrower, no such compensation may be claimed (i) in respect of any Committed <u>Revolving</u> Loan for any period prior to the date 60 days before the date of notice by such Bank to Allegion plc of its intention to make claims therefor (except that, if the applicable event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 60-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof) or (ii) to the extent such Bank was aware of such cost or reduction at the time the related Loan was made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each Bank will promptly notify Allegion plc and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge that will entitle such Bank to additional interest or payments pursuant to the foregoing subsection (a) and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office, if, in the judgment of such Bank, such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

SECTION 2.18. <u>Letters of Credit.</u> (a) <u>General.</u> Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, any Borrower or any Additional Borrower may request the issuance of (x) Dollar Letters of Credit for its own account (or for the account of any Subsidiary so long as any Borrower or any Additional Borrower is a joint and several co-applicant in respect of such Letter of Credit), denominated in Dollars, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Dollar Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period, and (y) Multi-Currency Letters of Credit for its own account (or for the account of any Subsidiary so long as any Borrower or any Additional Borrower is a joint and several co-applicant in respect of such Letter of Credit), denominated in a Foreign Currency and in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Multi-Currency Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by any Borrower or any Additional Borrower to, or entered into by any Borrower or any Additional Borrower with, any Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Effective Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof; <u>provided</u> that all Existing Letters of Credit that were issued under the multi-currency revolving tranche of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed to constitute Multi-Currency Letters of Credit hereunder, and all Existing Letters of Credit that were issued under the dollar revolving tranche of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed to constitute Dollar Letters of Credit hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained in any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by any Borrower or any Additional Borrower to, or entered into by any Borrower or any Additional Borrower with, any Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank shall not exceed $16,666,666.66 (or in the case of <u>each of</u> JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. <u>and Bank of America, N.A.</u>, $19,000,000.00<u>30,000,000.00</u>) at any time without its consent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions</u>. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), any Borrower or any Additional Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by such Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) at least three Domestic Business Days or Euro-Currency Business Days, as applicable, in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (or a shorter period in the sole discretion of the relevant Issuing Bank)) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Domestic Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the Class of such Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit, the currency in which such Letter of Credit shall be denominated, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, such Borrower or such Additional Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank's standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, such Borrower or such Additional Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the sum of the Dollar LC Exposure at such time and the Multi-Currency LC Exposure at such time shall not exceed $100,000,000; <u>provided</u> that the Multi-Currency LC Exposure at such time shall not exceed $20,000,000, (ii) the aggregate face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank shall not exceed the respective amounts set forth in the final sentence of Section 2.18(a), (iii) the aggregate Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments and (iv) no Bank's Revolving Exposure shall exceed its Revolving Commitment. No Issuing Bank shall issue, amend, renew or extend a Letter of Credit with respect to any Class if such Issuing Bank shall have been notified by the Administrative Agent (as directed by a Majority in Interest of the Revolving<u>the Required</u> Banks) that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The Issuing Banks shall provide to the Administrative Agent and, in turn, the Administrative Agent shall provide to the Revolving Banks a monthly update, in accordance with customary practices, of total LC Exposures with respect to such Class, it being understood that the obligations of the Revolving Banks shall not be subject to the receipt of such update. No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue or amend any Letter of Credit if any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing or amending such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, an Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit if the issuance, amendment or extension of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Expiration Date</u>. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date that is 18 months after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, 18 months after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Domestic Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that any Letter of Credit may, upon the request of the applicable Borrower or Additional Borrower, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional consecutive periods of 18 months or less (but not beyond the date that is five Domestic Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date) unless the applicable Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof at least 60 days prior to the then-applicable expiration date that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Revolving Maturity Date in respect of any Class of Revolving Commitments shall be extended pursuant to Section 2.22, "Revolving Maturity Date" as referenced in this paragraph shall refer, with respect to the Class of Letters of Credit associated with such Class of Revolving Commitments, to the Revolving Maturity Date in respect of any Class of Revolving Commitments as extended pursuant to Section 2.22; provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (including Section 2.22 hereof) or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Revolving Maturity Date, as such term is used in reference to any Issuing Bank or any Letter of Credit issued thereby, may not be extended with respect to any Issuing Bank without the prior written consent 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;(d) <u>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;(i) By the issuance of a Dollar Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Dollar Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) (and, on the Effective Date, in the case of the Existing Letters of Credit) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Dollar Issuing Bank or the Revolving Banks, the Dollar Issuing Bank that is the issuer of such Dollar Letter of Credit hereby grants to each Revolving Bank, and each Revolving Bank hereby acquires from such Dollar Issuing Bank, a participation in such Dollar Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Bank's Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Dollar Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Bank hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Dollar Issuing Bank, such Revolving Bank's Applicable Percentage of each Dollar LC Disbursement made by such Dollar Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by any Borrower or any Additional Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to any Borrower or any Additional Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Bank acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Dollar Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Dollar Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

&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) By the issuance of a Multi-Currency Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Multi-Currency Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) (and, on the Effective Date, in the case of the Existing Letters of Credit) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Multi-Currency Issuing Bank or the Revolving Banks, the Multi-Currency Issuing Bank that is the issuer of such Multi-Currency Letter of Credit hereby grants to each Revolving Bank, and each Revolving Bank hereby acquires from such Multi-Currency Issuing Bank, a participation in such Multi-Currency Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Bank's Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Multi-Currency Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Bank hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Multi-Currency Issuing Bank, such Revolving Bank's Applicable Percentage of each Multi-Currency LC Disbursement made by such Multi-Currency Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by any Borrower or any Additional Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to any Borrower or any Additional Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Bank acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Multi-Currency Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Multi-Currency Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

Each Revolving Bank further acknowledges and agrees that, in issuing, amending, renewing or extending any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon the representation and warranty of the Borrowers deemed made pursuant to Section 3.2 unless, at least one Domestic Business Day prior to the time such Letter of Credit is issued, amended, renewed or extended (or, in the case of an automatic renewal permitted pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, at least one Domestic Business Day prior to the time by which the election not to extend must be made by the applicable Issuing Bank), the Administrative Agent (as directed by a Majority in Interest of the Revolving<u>the Required</u> Banks) shall have notified the applicable Issuing Bank in writing that, as a result of one or more events or circumstances described in such notice, one or more of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 would not be satisfied if such Letter of Credit were then issued, amended, renewed or extended (it being understood and agreed that, in the event any Issuing Bank of any Class shall have received any such notice, no Issuing Bank of such Class shall have any obligation to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit until and unless it shall be satisfied that the events and circumstances described in such notice shall have been cured or otherwise shall have ceased to exist).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Reimbursement.</u> If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers and any Additional Borrowers shall jointly and severally reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement in Dollars or (subject to the immediately succeeding sentence) the applicable Foreign Currency, not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the Domestic Business Day immediately following the Domestic Business Day that such LC Disbursement is made (the "<u>Disbursement Date</u>"), if such Borrower or such Additional Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 3:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Disbursement Date, or, if such notice has not been received by such Borrower or such Additional Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on (i) the Domestic Business Day immediately following the Domestic Business Day that such Borrower or such Additional Borrower, as applicable, receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 3:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day of receipt, or (ii) within two Domestic Business Days immediately following the day that such Borrower or such Additional Borrower receives such notice, if such notice if not received prior to 3:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day of receipt; <u>provided</u> that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than $10,000,000 (or the equivalent amount in a Foreign Currency), such Borrower or such Additional Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.2 or 2.23 that such payment be financed with a Base Rate Revolving Loan, Term SOFR Revolving Loan, Euro-Currency Revolving Loan or Swingline Loan, as applicable, in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower's or such Additional Borrower's obligations to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Base Rate Revolving Loan, Term SOFR Revolving Loan, Euro-Currency Revolving Loan or Swingline Loan. If any Borrower or any Additional Borrower fails to make such payment when due, (i) if such payment relates to a Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency, automatically and with no further action required, such Borrower's or such Additional Borrower's obligations to reimburse the applicable LC Disbursement shall be permanently converted into an obligation to reimburse the Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the Exchange Rates on the date when such payment was due, of such LC Disbursement and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Bank of the applicable LC Disbursement, the Dollar Equivalent thereof (if such LC Disbursement relates to a Multi-Currency Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency) and the payment then due from any Borrower or any Additional Borrower in respect thereof and such Bank's Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each applicable Revolving Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from any Borrower or any Additional Borrower (determined as provided in clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence, if such payment relates to a Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency), in the same manner as provided in Section 2.4 with respect to Loans made by such Bank (and Section 2.4 shall apply, <u>mutatis</u> <u>mutandis</u>, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Banks), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank in Dollars the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Banks. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from any Borrower or any Additional Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Banks have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Banks and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Bank pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of a Base Rate Loan, Term SOFR Loan, Euro-Currency Loan or Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Revolving Loan and shall not relieve any Borrower or any Additional Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Obligations Absolute</u>. The Borrowers' or Additional Borrower's, as applicable, obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, any Borrower's or any Additional Borrower's obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Banks, the Issuing Banks, or any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank; <u>provided</u> that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to any Borrower or any Additional Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by any Borrower and any Additional Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by any Borrower or any Additional Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank's failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms 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;(g) <u>Disbursement Procedures</u>. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Each Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower or the applicable Additional Borrower, as the case may be, by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; <u>provided</u> that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve such Borrower or such Additional Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Banks with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) <u>Interim Interest</u>. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless any Borrower or any Additional Borrower, as applicable, shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that such Borrower or such Additional Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Loans pursuant to Section 2.7; <u>provided</u> that, if such Borrower or such Additional Borrower, as applicable, fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then the rate applicable to overdue Base Rate Loans pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.7(a) shall apply; <u>provided further</u> that, in the case of any LC Disbursement made under a Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency, the amount of interest due with respect thereto shall (i) in the case of any LC Disbursement that is reimbursed on or before the due date therefor, (A) be payable in the applicable Foreign Currency and (B) bear interest at the rate per annum then applicable to Euro-Currency Loans pursuant to Section 2.7 and (ii) in the case of any LC Disbursement that is reimbursed after the due date therefor, (A) be payable in Dollars, (B) accrue on the Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the Exchange Rates on the date such LC Disbursement was made, of such LC Disbursement and (C) bear interest at the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Loans, subject to the last sentence of Section 2.7(a). Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Bank pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Bank to the extent of such payment, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand has been made, on the date on which the Borrowers and Additional Borrowers reimburse the applicable LC Disbursement 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;(i) <u>Cash Collateralization.</u> If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Domestic Business Day that any Borrower or any Additional Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Banks (or, if the maturity of the Revolving Loans has been accelerated, the Required Revolving Banks) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, such Borrower or such Additional Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Banks, an amount in Dollars and in cash equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; <u>provided</u> that the (i) portions of such amount attributable to undrawn Letters of Credit denominated in Foreign Currencies or LC Disbursements in a Foreign Currency that such Borrower or such Additional Borrower is not late in reimbursing shall be deposited in the applicable Foreign Currencies in the actual amounts of such undrawn Letters of Credit and LC Disbursements and (ii) obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable in Dollars, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to such Borrower or such Additional Borrower described in Section 6.1(f) or 6.1(g). For the purposes of this paragraph, the Dollar Equivalent of LC Exposure shall be calculated using the Exchange Rates on the date that notice demanding cash collateralization is delivered to the applicable Borrower or Additional Borrower. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of such Borrower or such Additional Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made in Permitted Investments at such Borrower's or such Additional Borrower's risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of such Borrower or such Additional Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Required Revolving Banks), be applied to satisfy other obligations of such Borrower or such Additional Borrower under this Agreement. If any Borrower or any Additional Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower or such Additional Borrower within three Domestic Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) <u>Conversion.</u> In the event that the Loans become immediately due and payable on any date pursuant to Section 6.1, all amounts (i) that any Borrower or any Additional Borrower is at the time, or thereafter becomes, required to reimburse or otherwise pay to the Administrative Agent in respect of LC Disbursements made under any Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency (other than amounts in respect of which such Borrower or such Additional Borrower has deposited cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.18(i), if such cash collateral was deposited in the applicable Foreign Currency to the extent so deposited or applied), (ii) that the Revolving Banks are at the time, or thereafter become, required to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent is at the time, or thereafter becomes, required to distribute to the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.18(e) in respect of unreimbursed LC Disbursements made under any Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency and (iii) of each Revolving Bank's participation in any Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency under which an LC Disbursement has been made shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the Exchange Rates on such date (or in the case of any LC Disbursement made after such date, on the date such LC Disbursement is made), of such amounts. On and after such conversion, all amounts accruing and owed to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Revolving Bank in respect of the obligations described in this paragraph shall accrue and be payable in Dollars at the rates otherwise applicable hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) <u>Issuing Bank Reports to the Administrative Agent.</u> Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section 2.18, provide the Administrative Agent a Letter of Credit Report, as set forth below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) reasonably prior to the time that such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews, increases or extends a Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal, increase or extension and the stated amount of the applicable Letters of Credit after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed);

&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) on each Domestic Business Day or Euro-Currency Business Day, as the case may be, on which such Issuing Bank makes a payment pursuant to a Letter of Credit, the date and amount of such payment;

&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) on any Domestic Business Day or Euro-Currency Business Day, as the case may be, on which a Borrower fails to reimburse a payment made pursuant to a Letter of Credit required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such payment;

&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) on any other Domestic Business Day or Euro-Currency Business Day, as the case may be, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank; 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;(v) for so long as any Letter of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank is outstanding, such Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (A) on the last Domestic Business Day or Euro-Currency Business Day, as applicable, of each calendar month, (B) at all other times a Letter of Credit Report is required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement, and (C) on each date that (1) any Letter of Credit is issued, amended, renewed, extended or increased or (2) there is any expiration, cancellation and/or disbursement, in each case, with respect to any such Letter of Credit, a Letter of Credit Report appropriately completed with the information for every outstanding Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.

SECTION 2.19. <u>Interest Elections.</u> (a) The Type of the Loans comprising each Borrowing initially shall be as specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or designated by Section 2.2 or 2.23 and, in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing or Euro-Currency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Notice of Borrowing or designated by Section 2.2. Thereafter, the applicable Borrower or applicable Additional Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing so that it is comprised of Loans of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing or Euro-Currency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.19; <u>provided</u> that such Borrower or such Additional Borrower may not elect to convert any Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency to a Base Rate Borrowing or a Term SOFR Borrowing and may not change the currency of any Borrowing. The applicable Borrower or applicable Additional Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Banks holding the Loans of the applicable Class comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans of the applicable Class comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.19, the applicable Borrower or applicable Additional Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Notice of Borrowing would be required under Section 2.2 if such Borrower or such Additional Borrower were requesting a Committed <u>Revolving</u> Borrowing comprised of Loans of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic interest election request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written interest election request signed by the applicable Borrower or applicable Additional Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Each telephonic and written interest election request shall specify the following information:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Borrowing to which such interest election request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such interest election request, which shall be a Domestic Business Day, in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing or a Term SOFR Borrowing, or a Euro-Currency Business Day, in the case of a Euro-Currency Borrowing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing, Term SOFR Borrowing or a Euro-Currency Borrowing; 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;(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Term SOFR Borrowing or Euro-Currency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term "Interest Period".

If any such interest election request requests a Term SOFR Borrowing or Euro-Currency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the applicable Borrower or applicable Additional Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Promptly following receipt of an interest election request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Bank of the applicable Class of the details thereof and of such Bank's portion of each resulting 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;(e) If any Borrower or any Additional Borrower fails to deliver a timely interest election request with respect to a Term SOFR Borrowing or Euro-Currency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a Term SOFR Borrowing or Euro-Currency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Majority in Interest of the applicable Class<u>Required Banks</u>, so notify the applicable Borrower or applicable Additional Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing (or Borrowing of the applicable Class, as applicable) may be converted to or continued as a Term SOFR Borrowing or Euro-Currency Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Term SOFR Borrowing or Euro-Currency Borrowing (or Term SOFR Borrowing or Euro-Currency Borrowing of the applicable Class, as applicable) shall be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.20. <u>Defaulting Banks.</u> (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if one or more Revolving Banks become Defaulting Banks, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as any such Bank is a Defaulting 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) no commitment fee shall accrue on the unused amount of any Revolving Commitment of any Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 2.8(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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Exposures of each Defaulting Bank shall be disregarded in determining whether the Required Revolving Banks, Required Banks or any other requisite Banks shall have taken any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including any consent to any waiver, amendment or other modification pursuant to Section 9.5); <u>provided</u> that any waiver, amendment, or other modification that, disregarding the effect of this clause (ii), requires the consent of each Bank directly affected thereby pursuant to clause (1)(a), (1)(b), (1)(c) or (1)(d) of Section 9.5 shall continue to require the consent of each Defaulting Bank directly affected thereby in accordance with the terms hereof; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that any waiver, amendment or other modification of this Section 2.20(a)(ii) or clause (1)(a), (1)(b), (1)(c) or (1)(d) of Section 9.5 at any time that a Bank is a Defaulting Bank shall require the consent of such Defaulting Bank if such Defaulting Bank would be directly adversely affected thereby;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) (1) if any Dollar LC Exposure, Multi-Currency LC Exposure or Swingline Exposure exists at the time a Revolving Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank (each Swingline Loan to which such Swingline Exposure is attributable being referred to as a "<u>Reallocated Swingline Loan</u>" and each Letter of Credit to which such LC Exposure is attributable being referred to as a "<u>Reallocated Letter of Credit</u>"), then:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) subject to clause (B) below, the participation of each Non-Defaulting Bank of such Class in each Reallocated Swingline Loan (if applicable) or Reallocated Letter of Credit of such Class shall be adjusted to be determined under Section 2.18(d) or 2.23 on the basis of such Revolving Bank's Adjusted Applicable Percentage (and all references in Section 2.18 or 2.23 to "Applicable Percentage" shall be deemed to be references to "Adjusted Applicable Percentage");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) notwithstanding the foregoing:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) if any Revolving Bank that becomes a Defaulting Bank shall be the Swingline Bank or an Issuing Bank or an Affiliate thereof, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to clause (A) above with respect to participations in any Swingline Loan made by the Swingline Bank or any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, as the case may be;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) if all the Defaulting Banks' Applicable Percentage of the LC Exposure of any Class attributable to the Reallocated Letters of Credit of such Class (the "<u>Defaulting Bank LC Exposure</u>") and the Swingline Exposure attributable to the Reallocated Swingline Loans (the "<u>Defaulting Bank Swingline Exposure</u>") collectively exceed the unused portion of the Revolving Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Banks of such Class as of the time the adjustments are to be made pursuant to clause (A) above (any such unused portion being referred to as the "<u>Maximum Incremental Participation Amount</u>"), then the incremental amount of participations in Letters of Credit of such Class and Swingline Loans acquired by the Non-Defaulting Banks under clause (A) above (the "<u>Incremental Participations</u>") shall not exceed at any time the Maximum Incremental Participation Amount with respect to such Class;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) adjustments under Section 2.20(a)(iii)(A) and (B) above shall only be made to the extent that, after giving effect to such adjustments, the Revolving Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Bank with respect to any Class shall not exceed its Revolving Commitment with respect to such Class; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) no adjustment shall be made under Section 2.20(a)(iii)(A) or (B) above if, at the time such adjustment is made, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) if the Defaulting Bank LC Exposure with respect to any Class and Defaulting Bank Swingline Exposure collectively exceed the Maximum Incremental Participation Amount with respect to such Class, then the applicable Borrower or applicable Additional Borrower shall, within five Domestic Business Days after receipt of written notice to that effect from the Administrative Agent, cash collateralize the Reallocated Letters of Credit of such Class and prepay the Reallocated Swingline Loans (in a manner and under documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) in an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Defaulting Bank LC Exposure of such Class and Defaulting Bank Swingline Exposure over the Maximum Incremental Participation Amount of such Class or, if agreed to by the applicable Issuing Bank and/or Swingline Bank, enter into other arrangements with respect to the Reallocated Letters of Credit of such Class or Reallocated Swingline Loans on terms mutually agreed between such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Bank, on the one hand, and the applicable Borrower or applicable Additional Borrower, on the other hand;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) if any Reallocated Letter of Credit shall have been cash collateralized by the applicable Borrower or applicable Additional Borrower pursuant to clause (C) above, then (x) the applicable Borrower or applicable Additional Borrower shall not be required to pay any letter of credit participation fees pursuant to Section 2.8(b) with respect to the portion of such Reallocated Letter of Credit that is so cash collateralized and (y) to the extent any letter of credit participation fees are not required to be paid by reason of clause (x) above, the reduction in the amount of such fees shall be allocated to the Defaulting Banks;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) if an adjustment shall have been made pursuant to clause (A) above to the participations of the Non-Defaulting Banks in Reallocated Letters of Credit of any Class, then the letter of credit participation fees that would otherwise have been payable to the Revolving Banks that are Defaulting Banks pursuant to Section 2.8(b) with respect to the portion of such Reallocated Letters of Credit of such Class equal to the Incremental Participations therein shall instead accrue for the accounts of, and be payable to, the Revolving Banks of such Class that are Non-Defaulting Banks in accordance with their Adjusted Applicable Percentages;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) if the Defaulting Bank LC Exposure with respect to any Class at any time shall exceed the sum of the Incremental Participations in respect of Letters of Credit of such Class at such time and the portion of the Reallocated Letters of Credit of such Class cash collateralized at such time pursuant to clause (C) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any Non-Defaulting Bank hereunder, all letter of credit participation fees payable to the Revolving Banks of such Class that are Defaulting Banks under Section 2.8(b) with respect to the portion of the Defaulting Bank LC Exposure of such Class equal to such excess shall instead accrue for the account of, and be payable to, the applicable Issuing Bank that shall have issued the Reallocated Letters of Credit of such Class; 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;(G) the Revolving Exposure of each Non-Defaulting Bank with respect to any Class shall be determined after giving effect to the Incremental Participations acquired by such Revolving Bank with respect to such Class under the foregoing clauses of this clause (iii);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) in the event any (x) Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended to increase the amount thereof or (y) Swingline Loan shall be made, (A) the participations of the Non-Defaulting Banks of such Class therein shall be determined in the manner set forth in clause (iii)(A) above, as if such Letter of Credit of such Class or Swingline Loan shall have been a Reallocated Letter of Credit of such Class or a Reallocated Swingline Loan, as the case may be, and (B) letter of credit participation fees that would otherwise have been payable to the Revolving Banks of such Class that are Defaulting Banks pursuant to Section 2.8(b) in respect of any such Letter of Credit shall be subject to Section 2.20(a)(iii)(E) above; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Issuing Bank of such Class or Swingline Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase the amount of any Letter of Credit of such Class or make any Swingline Loan, as applicable, unless it is satisfied that the Defaulting Banks' Applicable Percentage of the LC Exposure with respect to such Class or Swingline Exposure, as applicable, attributable to such Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan, as applicable, will be entirely covered by participations therein of the Non-Defaulting Banks and/or cash collateral or other arrangements satisfactory to such Issuing Bank or Swingline Bank provided by the applicable Borrower or applicable Additional Borrower (in a manner and under documentation satisfactory to such Issuing Bank or Swingline Bank, as applicable); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) any amount payable to or for the account of any Defaulting Bank in its capacity as a Bank hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, and including any amounts payable to such Defaulting Bank pursuant to Sections 2.10 and 2.11, but excluding any amounts payable to such Defaulting Bank pursuant to Sections 2.13, 2.15, 2.17, 8.3 and 9.3) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Bank, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, (A) be applied, at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent, (1) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (2) second to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to each Issuing Bank and Swingline Bank in respect of such Defaulting Bank's participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans (and to the extent any such amounts shall have been paid by Non-Defaulting Banks as a result of adjustments pursuant to clause (iii) above, to reimburse such Non-Defaulting Banks for such amounts), (3) third, to cash collateralize participation obligations of such Defaulting Bank in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit (with the concurrent release of an equivalent amount any cash collateral or other collateral security, if any, provided by the applicable Borrower pursuant to this Section) and prepay Swingline Loans on a pro rata basis and (4) fourth, to the funding of such Defaulting Bank's Applicable Percentage of any Revolving Borrowing in respect of which such Defaulting Bank shall have failed to fund such share as required hereunder, (B) to the extent not applied as aforesaid, be held, if so determined by the Administrative Agent, as cash collateral for funding obligations of such Defaulting Bank in respect of future Loans hereunder, (C) to the extent not applied or held as aforesaid, be applied, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower or the Non-Defaulting Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Borrower or any Non-Defaulting Bank against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank's breach of its obligations hereunder and (D) to the extent not applied or held as aforesaid, be distributed to such Defaulting Bank or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In the event the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks of such Class, the Swingline Bank and the Borrowers shall have agreed that a Revolving Bank that is a Defaulting Bank has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Revolving Bank to become a Defaulting Bank, then (i) such Revolving Bank shall cease to be a Defaulting Bank for all purposes hereof, (ii) the obligations of the Revolving Banks to purchase participations in Letters of Credit under Section 2.18(d) and Swingline Loans under Section 2.23 shall be readjusted to be determined on the basis of such Revolving Banks' Applicable Percentages and (iii) such Revolving Bank shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Revolving Banks as the Administrative Agent shall determine to be necessary in order for the Revolving Loans to be held by the Revolving Banks in accordance with their Applicable Percentages.

&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) No Revolving Commitment of any Revolving Bank shall be increased or otherwise affected and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section, performance by any Borrower or any Additional Borrower of its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of the operation of this Section. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Bank under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies that any Borrower, any Additional Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Bank or any Non-Defaulting Bank may have against such Defaulting Bank (and, for the avoidance of doubt, each Non-Defaulting Bank shall have a claim against any Defaulting Bank for any losses it may suffer as a result of the operation of this Section).

SECTION 2.21. <u>Payments Generally.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) <u>first</u>, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) <u>second</u>, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If any Bank shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder to or for the account of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Bank, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), until all such unsatisfied obligations have been discharged, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank to satisfy such Bank's obligations in respect of such payment or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Bank pursuant to Sections 2.4(b), 2.4(c), 2.12(b), 2.18(d), 2.18(e) and 2.23, in each case in such order as shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

SECTION 2.22. <u>Extension of Maturity Date.</u> (a) The Borrowers may, by delivery of a Maturity Date Extension Request to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy thereof to each Bank of the relevant Class) not less than 30 days prior to the then-existing Maturity Date for the applicable Class of Commitments and/or Loans hereunder to be extended (the "<u>Existing Maturity Date</u>"), request that the Banks of such Class extend the Existing Maturity Date with respect to such Class in accordance with this Section. Each Maturity Date Extension Request shall (i) specify the date to which the Maturity Date with respect to such Class is sought to be extended, (ii) specify the changes, if any, to the Applicable Margin to be applied in determining the interest payable on the Loans of, and fees payable hereunder to, Consenting Banks in respect of that portion of their Commitments and/or Loans extended to such new Maturity Date and the time as of which such changes will become effective (which may be prior to the Existing Maturity Date) and (iii) specify any other amendments or modifications to this Agreement to be effected in connection with such Maturity Date Extension Request; <u>provided</u> that no such changes or modifications requiring other approvals pursuant to Section 9.5 shall become effective prior to the Existing Maturity Date unless such other approvals have been obtained. In the event a Maturity Date Extension Request shall have been delivered by the Borrowers, each Bank of the applicable Class shall have the right to agree to the extension of the Existing Maturity Date and other matters contemplated thereby on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (each Bank agreeing to the Maturity Date Extension Request being referred to herein as a "<u>Consenting Bank</u>" and each Bank not agreeing thereto being referred to herein as a "<u>Declining Bank</u>"), which right may be exercised by written notice thereof, specifying the maximum amount of the Commitment and/or Loans of such Class of such Bank with respect to which such Bank agrees to the extension of the Maturity Date, delivered to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) not later than a day to be agreed upon by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent following the date on which the Maturity Date Extension Request shall have been delivered by the Borrowers (it being understood and agreed that any Bank that shall have failed to exercise such right as set forth above shall, with respect to such Class, be deemed to be a Declining Bank). If a Bank elects to extend only a portion of its then existing Commitment and/or Loans of the applicable Class, it will be deemed for purposes hereof to be a Consenting Bank in respect of such extended portion and a Declining Bank in respect of the remaining portion of its Commitment and/or Loans of such Class, and the aggregate principal amount of each Type and currency of Loans of the applicable Class of such Bank shall be allocated ratably among the extended and non-extended portions of the Loans of such Bank based on the aggregate principal amount of such Loans so extended and not extended. If a Consenting Bank shall have agreed to such Maturity Date Extension Request in respect of Commitments or Loans of a Class held by them, then, subject to paragraph (c) of this Section, on the date specified in the Maturity Date Extension Request as the effective date thereof (the "<u>Extension Effective Date</u>"), (i) the Existing Maturity Date of the applicable Commitments or Loans shall, as to the Consenting Banks, be extended to such date as shall be specified therein, (ii) the terms and conditions of the applicable Commitments and/or Loans of the Consenting Banks (including interest and fees (including Letter of Credit fees) payable in respect thereof) shall be modified as set forth in the Maturity Date Extension Request and (iii) such other modifications and amendments hereto specified in the Maturity Date Extension Request shall (subject to any required approvals having been obtained) become effective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall have the right, in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6, at any time prior to the Existing Maturity Date, to replace a Declining Bank (for the avoidance of doubt, only in respect of that portion of such Bank's Commitment and/or Loans subject to a Maturity Date Extension Request that it has not agreed to extend) with a Bank or other financial institution that will agree to such Maturity Date Extension Request, and any such replacement Bank shall for all purposes constitute a Consenting Bank in respect of the Commitment or Loans assigned to and assumed by it on and after the effective time of such replacement.

&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 a Maturity Date Extension Request has become effective hereunder:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Solely in respect of a Maturity Date Extension Request that has become effective in respect of the Revolving Commitments, not later than the fifth Business Day prior to the Existing Maturity Date, the Borrowers shall jointly and severally make prepayments of Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans) and shall provide cash collateral in respect of Letters of Credit in the manner set forth in Section 2.18(i), such that, after giving effect to such prepayments and such provision of cash collateral, the Revolving Exposure as of such date will not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Consenting Banks extended pursuant to this Section (and the Borrowers shall not be permitted thereafter to request any Revolving Loan or any issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit if, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Exposure would exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments so extended);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) on the Existing Maturity Date, the Commitments of each Declining Bank with respect to such Class shall, to the extent not assumed, assigned or transferred as provided in paragraph 2.22(b) of this Section, terminate, and the Borrowers shall repay all the Loans of such Class of each Declining Bank, to the extent such Loans shall not have been so purchased, assigned and transferred, in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest and all fees and other amounts owing to such Declining Bank hereunder, it being understood and agreed that, subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2, any such repayments of Revolving Borrowings may be funded with the proceeds of new Revolving Borrowings made simultaneously with such repayments by the Consenting Banks, which such Borrowings shall be made ratably by the Consenting Banks in accordance with their extended 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) notwithstanding the foregoing, no Maturity Date Extension Request shall become effective hereunder unless (A) with respect to a Maturity Date Extension Request in respect of Revolving Commitments, the Consenting Banks hold a majority of the then outstanding Revolving Commitments, <u>and</u> (B) with respect to a Maturity Date Extension Request in respect of Term Loans, the Consenting Banks hold a majority of the then outstanding Term Loans and (C) in either case, on the Extension Effective Date, the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 shall be satisfied (with all references in such Section to a Borrowing being deemed to be references to such Maturity Date Extension Request) and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of Allegion plc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, it is hereby agreed that no extension of an Existing Maturity Date with respect to any Class in accordance with the express terms of this Section, or any amendment or modification of the terms and conditions of the Commitments or Loans of the Consenting Banks effected pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to (i) violate Section 2.21(a) or any other provision of this Agreement requiring the ratable reduction of Commitments or the ratable sharing of payments or (ii) require the consent of all Banks or all affected Banks or all affected Banks of a Class under Section 9.5.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Consenting Banks may enter into an amendment to this Agreement to effect such modifications as may be necessary to reflect the terms of any Maturity Date Extension Request that has become effective in accordance with the provisions of this Section.

SECTION 2.23. <u>Swingline Loans.</u> (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Bank agrees to make Swingline Loans denominated in dollars to any Borrower or any Additional Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $50,000,000, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Swingline Loans made by the Swingline Bank, together (without duplication) with the Revolving Exposure of the Swingline Bank, exceeding the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Commitment of the Swingline Bank or (iii) the aggregate Revolving Exposure exceeding the aggregate Revolving Commitments; <u>provided</u> that the Swingline Bank shall not be required to make Swingline Loans to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Each Swingline Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Each Swingline Loan shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000; <u>provided</u> that a Swingline Loan may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the aggregate Revolving Commitment or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.18. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers and Additional Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) To request a Swingline Loan, a Borrower or Additional Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic imaging to the Administrative Agent of a written Notice of Swingline Borrowing. Each such telephonic and written Notice of Swingline Borrowing shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Domestic Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Bank of any such notice received from any Borrower or any Additional Borrower. The Swingline Bank shall make each Swingline Loan available to the requesting Borrower or Additional Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit account of such Borrower or Additional Borrower maintained with the Swingline Bank (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.18, by remittance to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that the Revolving Banks of the applicable Class have made payments pursuant to Section 2.18 to reimburse such Issuing Bank, to such Revolving Banks and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Swingline Bank may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on any Domestic Business Day require the Revolving Banks to acquire participations on such Domestic Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans made by the Swingline Bank and outstanding at such time. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which the Revolving Banks will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Bank, specifying in such notice such Bank's Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Bank hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Bank, such Bank's Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans in Dollars. Each Revolving Bank acknowledges and agrees that, in making any Swingline Loan, the Swingline Bank shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon the representation and warranty of the Borrowers and Additional Borrowers deemed made pursuant to Section 3.2 unless, at least one Domestic Business Day prior to the time such Swingline Loan was made, the Majority in Interest of the Revolving<u>Required</u> Banks shall have notified the Swingline Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in writing that, as a result of one or more events or circumstances described in such notice, one or more of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 would not be satisfied if such Swingline Loan were then made (it being understood and agreed that, in the event the Swingline Bank shall have received any such notice, it shall have no obligation to make any Swingline Loan until and unless it shall be satisfied that the events and circumstances described in such notice shall have been cured or otherwise shall have ceased to exist). Each Revolving Bank further acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Bank shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.4 with respect to Loans made by such Bank (and Section 2.4 shall apply, <u>mutatis</u> <u>mutandis</u>, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Banks under this paragraph), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Swingline Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Banks. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and Additional Borrowers of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent in Dollars and not to the Swingline Bank. Any amounts received by the Swingline Bank from the Borrowers or Additional Borrowers (or other Person on behalf of the Borrowers or Additional Borrowers) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Bank of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted by the Swingline Bank to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Banks that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Bank, as their interests may appear; <u>provided</u> that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Bank or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, and thereafter to the Borrowers or the Additional Borrowers, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrowers or the Additional Borrowers for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve any Borrower or any Additional Borrower of its obligation to repay such Swingline Loan.

SECTION 2.24. <u>Sustainability Adjustments</u><u>[Reserved]</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>ESG Amendment</u>. Within 12 months following the Effective Date (or, subject to the consent of the Required Banks, within 24 months following the Effective Date) (such date, the "<u>ESG Amendment Deadline</u>"), the Borrowers, in consultation with the Sustainability Coordinators, shall be entitled to establish specified key performance indicators ("<u>KPIs</u>") with respect to certain environmental, social and governance ("<u>ESG</u>") targets of the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries. The Sustainability Coordinators, the Required Banks and the Borrowers may amend this Agreement (such amendment, the "<u>ESG Amendment</u>") solely for the purpose of incorporating the KPIs and other related provisions (the "<u>ESG Pricing Provisions</u>") into this Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of any such ESG Amendment, based on the Borrowers' performance against the KPIs, certain adjustments (increase, decrease or no adjustment) to the otherwise applicable commitment fee, Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans, Swingline Loans, Term SOFR Loans, Euro-Currency Loans and Letter of Credit fees will be made; <u>provided</u> that the amount of such adjustments shall not exceed (i) in the case of the commitment fee, an increase and/or decrease of 0.01% and (ii) in the case of the Applicable Margin for Term SOFR Loans, Euro-Currency Loans and Letter of Credit fees, an increase and/or decrease of 0.05%, and the adjustments to the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans and Swingline Loans shall be the same amount, in basis points, as the adjustments to the Applicable Margin for Term SOFR Loans, Euro-Currency Loans and Letter of Credit fees, provided that in no event shall the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans and Swingline Loans be less than zero. The pricing adjustments pursuant to the KPIs will require, among other things, reporting and validation of the measurement of the KPIs, as provided for by the Borrowers and in a manner that is agreed between the Borrowers and Sustainability Coordinators, each acting reasonably. Following the effectiveness of any ESG Amendment, such reporting and validation will take place annually at the fiscal year-end for the Borrowers, starting in December 2025. There will be a single set of collective KPIs for the Borrowers, namely by Allegion plc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary:any modification to the ESG Pricing Provisions that has the effect of (x) reducing the commitment fee, Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans and Swingline Loans, or Applicable Margin for Term SOFR Loans, Euro-Currency Loans and Letter of Credit fees to a level not otherwise permitted by Section 2.24(a) or (y) increasing the commitment fee, Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans and Swingline Loans, or Applicable Margin for Term SOFR Loans, Euro-Currency Loans and Letter of Credit fees that is not accompanied by a corresponding reduction of the commitment fee, Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans and Swingline Loans, or Applicable Margin for Term SOFR Loans, Euro-Currency Loans and Letter of Credit fees by a percentage equivalent to such increase, shall (in each case) be subject to the prior written consent of all Banks and the Borrowers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) any modification to the ESG Amendment Deadline that has the effect of extending such date beyond 24 months following the Effective Date, shall be subject to the prior written consent of all Banks 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) any other modification to the ESG Pricing Provisions (other than as provided for in Section 2.24(b)(i) and (ii) above) shall be subject only to the prior written consent of the Required Banks and the Borrowers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Sustainability Coordinators.</u> The Sustainability Coordinators will (i) assist the Borrowers in determining the ESG Pricing Provisions in connection with the ESG Amendment and (ii) assist the Borrowers in preparing informational materials focused on ESG to be used in connection with the ESG Amendment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Conflicting Provisions.</u> This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 9.5 to the contrary.

Financial Information; No Material Adverse Change.</u> (a) The consolidated balance sheet of Allegion plc and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the fiscal year then ended, reported on by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and set forth in Allegion plc's 2023 Form 10-K, fairly present, in conformity with GAAP, the consolidated financial position of Allegion plc and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and their consolidated results of operations and cash flows for such fiscal year.

&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) Since December 31, 2023, there has been no material adverse change in the business, financial position or results of operations of Allegion plc and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole.

SECTION 4.5. <u>Litigation.</u> Except for the litigation disclosed under the headings "Environmental Matters" and "Warranty Liability" in Allegion plc's 2023 Form 10-K, there is no action, suit or proceeding pending against, or to the knowledge of any Borrower threatened against or affecting the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries before any court or arbitrator or any Governmental Authority or governmental official in which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse decision that (i) could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) in any manner draws into question the validity of this Agreement or the Notes.

SECTION 4.6. <u>Compliance with ERISA.</u> Except where the liability that could reasonably be expected to be incurred would be in an amount that would not have a Material Adverse Effect: (i) each member of the ERISA Group has fulfilled its obligations under the minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code with respect to each Plan and is in compliance in all material respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code with respect to each Plan and (ii) no member of the ERISA Group has (A) sought a waiver of the minimum funding standard under Section 412 of the Internal Revenue Code or Section 302 of ERISA in respect of any Plan, (B) failed to make any contribution or payment to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan or in respect of any Benefit Arrangement, or made any amendment to any Plan or Benefit Arrangement, which has resulted or could result in the imposition of a Lien or the posting of a bond or other security under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code, (C) has incurred any liability to the PBGC under Title IV of ERISA (other than a liability to the PBGC for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA or contributions in the normal course), (D) incurred any liability in connection with a Plan termination under Section 4201 of ERISA or (E) determined that any Plan is, or is expected to be, in "at-risk" status (as defined in Section 303(i)(4) of ERISA or Section 430(i)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code).

SECTION 4.7. <u>Environmental Matters.</u> In the ordinary course of its business, Allegion plc and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries conducts periodic reviews of the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of Allegion plc and its Subsidiaries, in the course of which associated liabilities and costs (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up or closure of properties presently or previously owned, any capital or operating expenditures required to achieve or maintain compliance with environmental protection standards imposed by law or as a condition of any license, permit or contract, any related constraints on operating activities, including any periodic or permanent shutdown or any facility or reduction in the level of or change in the nature of operations conducted thereat and any actual or potential liabilities to third parties, including employees, and any related costs and expenses) are identified and evaluated. On the basis of such reviews, Allegion plc and/or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, has reasonably concluded that Environmental Laws are unlikely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 4.8. <u>Taxes.</u> Except as would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries have filed all United States federal and Ireland income tax returns, as applicable, and all other tax returns which are required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes shown to be due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by any Borrower or any Subsidiary, except for any such tax, assessment, charge or levy the payment of which is being contested in good faith by such Borrower or such Subsidiary as of the date this representation is made. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of each Borrower and its Subsidiaries in respect of taxes or other governmental charges are, in the opinion of each Borrower, adequate.

SECTION 4.9. <u>Subsidiaries.</u> The Borrowers' Material Subsidiaries are legal entities duly incorporated or otherwise formed, validly existing and in (to the extent that such concept exists under those laws) good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of organization (to the extent the concept of "good standing" exists under the laws of such jurisdiction), and have all organizational powers and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on their respective businesses as now conducted except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 4.11. <u>Full Disclosure.</u> (a) All information heretofore furnished by any Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Bank for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby is, and any such information hereafter furnished by any Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Bank will be, true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is stated or certified.

SECTION 4.12. <u>Regulations T, U and X.</u> No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used for any purpose that entails a violation of the provisions of Regulation T, Regulation U and Regulation X.

SECTION 4.13. <u>Anti-Terrorism Laws; Anti-Corruption Laws.</u> (a) To the extent applicable, each Borrower and the Subsidiaries are in compliance, in all material respects, with (i) applicable Sanctions and (ii) the Patriot Act and other applicable anti-money laundering laws.

The provisions of this Article VII are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Banks and the Issuing Banks, and no Borrower or any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term "agent" herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

SECTION 7.2. <u>Administrative Agent and Affiliates.</u> Bank of America, N.A. shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank or Issuing Bank and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and Bank of America, N.A. 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, financial, advisory, underwriting or other business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrowers as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Banks or to provide notice or consent of the Banks with respect thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), <u>provided</u> that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Bankruptcy Code of the United States, and all other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar debtor relief laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect, or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Bank in violation of any of the foregoing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) shall not be responsible for or have any duty or obligation to any Bank or participant or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 7.4. <u>Consultation with Experts</u>.

SECTION 7.5. <u>Liability of the Administrative Agent</u>. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (a) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks (or a Majority in Interest of the Banks of a Class, all affected Banks or all the Banks, if applicable) or (b) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.

The Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement or other writing (which may be a bank wire or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties.

SECTION 7.6. <u>Indemnification</u>. Each Bank shall, ratably in accordance with its Commitments and Loans (other than Swingline Commitments and Swingline Loans) and on a several (and not joint) basis, indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers) against any cost, expense (including counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from the Administrative Agent's bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach of its obligations under this Agreement, as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) that the Administrative Agent may suffer or incur in connection with this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder in its capacity as the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 7.7. <u>Credit Decision</u>. Each Bank and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Bank and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank or Issuing Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement.

SECTION 7.8. <u>Successor Administrative Agent</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Banks) (the "<u>Resignation Effective Date</u>"), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent.

If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Banks) (the "<u>Removal Effective Date</u>"), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Bank and each Issuing Bank directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Banks appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 2.15(f) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 7.9). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent's resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article VII and Section 9.3 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them (i) while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and (ii) after such resignation or removal for as long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Administrative Agent.

SECTION 7.9. <u>Administrative Agent's Fees</u>. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for their own account, fees in the amounts and at the times previously agreed upon between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 7.10. <u>Agents; Arrangers</u>. The Agents (other than the Administrative Agent) and the Arrangers, each in their respective capacities as such, shall have no duties or responsibilities, and shall incur no liabilities, under this Agreement.

SECTION 7.11. <u>Reliance by Administrative Agent</u>. The Administrative Agent 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. The Administrative 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, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Bank or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Bank or such Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Bank or such Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative 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.

SECTION 7.12. <u>Delegation of Duties</u>.

The exculpatory provisions of this Article VII shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

SECTION 7.13. <u>Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and the Other Banks</u>**.** Each Bank and each Issuing Bank expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent nor the Arranger has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent or the Arranger hereafter taken, including any consent to, and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party of any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or the Arranger to any Bank or each Issuing Bank as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent or the Arranger have disclosed material information in their (or their Related Parties') possession. Each Bank and each Issuing Bank represents to the Administrative Agent and the Arranger that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, any other Bank or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of, appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrowers hereunder. Each Bank and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, any other Bank or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties. Each Bank and each Issuing Bank represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility and (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course and is entering into this Agreement as a Bank or Issuing Bank for the purpose of making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Bank or Issuing Bank, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument, and each Bank and each Issuing Bank agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing. Each Bank and each Issuing Bank represents and warrants that it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Bank or such Issuing Bank, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities.

SECTION 7.14. <u>No Other Duties, Etc</u>. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arrangers or Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Bank or an Issuing Bank hereunder.

SECTION 7.15. <u>Guaranty Matters</u>. The Banks and the Issuing Banks irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Documents if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents. Upon request by the

Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Banks will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent's authority to release any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document pursuant to this Section 7.15.

SECTION 7.16. <u>Certain ERISA Matters</u>.

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

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) (A) such Bank 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 Bank 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 Bank, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Bank'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;(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such 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;(b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Bank or (2) a Bank has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Bank further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Bank party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Bank party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Bank party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Bank involved in such Bank's entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

SECTION 7.17. <u>Recovery of Erroneous Payments</u>.

Each Bank Recipient Party irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any "discharge for value" (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. The Administrative Agent shall inform each Bank Recipient Party promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Bank Recipient Party comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount.

<u>CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES</u>

SECTION 8.1. <u>Alternate Rate of Interest</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Solely for purposes of Loans denominated in Dollars:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan or a conversion of Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans or a continuation of any of such Loans, as applicable, (1) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) no Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with <u>Section 8.1(a)(ii)</u>, and the circumstances under clause (A) of <u>Section 8.1(a)(ii)</u> or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable) or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (2) the Administrative Agent or the Required Banks determine that for any reason that Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers and each Bank.

Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Banks to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Term SOFR component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Required Banks described in clause (2) of this Section 8.1(a)(i), until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Required Banks) revokes such notice.

Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to, or continuation of Term SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Committed <u>Revolving</u> Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding Term SOFR Loans shall be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans immediately at the end of their respective applicable Interest Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrowers or Required Banks notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Banks, a copy to the Borrowers) that the Borrowers or Required Banks (as applicable) have determined, that:

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

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

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

If the Successor Rate is Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment, all interest payments will be payable, at the Borrowers' election, on a monthly or quarterly basis.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) if the Administrative Agent determines that Daily Simple SOFR is not available on or prior to the Term SOFR Replacement Date, or (ii) if the events or circumstances of the type described in <u>Section 8.1(a)(ii)(A)</u> or <u>(B)</u> have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then in each case, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing Term SOFR or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this <u>Section 8.1</u> at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar Dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such alternative benchmark, and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar Dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such benchmark. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments shall constitute a "Successor Rate". Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Banks and the Borrowers unless, prior to such time, Banks comprising the Required Banks have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Banks object to such amendment.

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

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

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Solely for purposes of Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) If in connection with any request for a Euro-Currency Loan or a conversion of Base Rate Loans to Euro-Currency Loans or a continuation of any of such Loans, as applicable, (1) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) no Euro-Currency Successor Rate for the Relevant Rate for the applicable Foreign Currency has been determined in accordance with Section 8.1(b)(ii) and the circumstances under clause (A) of Section 8.1(b)(ii) or the Euro-Currency Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred with respect to such Relevant Rate (as applicable), or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining the Relevant Rate for the applicable Foreign Currency for any determination date(s) or requested Interest Period, as applicable, with respect to a proposed Euro-Currency Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (2) the Administrative Agent or the Required Banks determine that for any reason that the Relevant Rate with respect to a proposed Loan denominated in an Foreign Currency for any requested Interest Period or determination date(s) does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers and each Bank.

Thereafter, the obligation of the Banks to make or maintain Loans in the affected currencies, as applicable, or to convert Base Rate Loans to Euro-Currency Loans, shall be suspended in each case to the extent of the affected Euro-Currency Loans or Interest Period or determination date(s), as applicable, until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Required Banks described in clause (2) of this Section 8.1(b)(i), until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Required Banks) revokes such notice.

Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of Euro-Currency Loans to the extent of the affected Euro-Currency Loans or Interest Period or determination date(s), as applicable or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Committed <u>Revolving</u> Borrowing of Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected Euro-Currency Loans, at the Borrowers' election, shall either (1) be converted into a Committed <u>Revolving</u> Borrowing of Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such outstanding Euro-Currency Loan immediately, in the case of a Multi-Currency Daily Rate Loan or at the end of the applicable Interest Period, in the case of a Multi-Currency Term Rate Loan or (2) be prepaid in full immediately, in the case of an Multi-Currency Daily Rate Loan, or at the end of the applicable Interest Period, in the case of an Multi-Currency Term Rate Loan; provided that if no election is made by the Borrowers (x) in the case of a Multi-Currency Daily Rate Loan, by the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the Borrowers of such notice or (y) in the case of a Multi-Currency Term Rate Loan, by the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Multi-Currency Term Rate Loan, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) <u>Replacement of Relevant Rate or Euro-Currency Successor Rate</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrowers or Required Banks notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Banks, a copy to each Borrower) that the Borrowers or Required Banks (as applicable) have determined, that:

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) syndicated loans currently being executed and agented in the U.S., are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace the Relevant Rate for a Foreign Currency;

or if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 8.1(b)(ii)(A), (B) or (C) have occurred with respect to the Euro-Currency Successor Rate then in effect, then, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing the Relevant Rate for a Foreign Currency or any then current Euro-Currency Successor Rate for a Foreign Currency in accordance with this Section 8.1(b) with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the U.S. and denominated in such Foreign Currency for such alternative benchmarks, and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the U.S. and denominated in such Foreign Currency for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated (and any such proposed rate, including for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment thereto, a "<u>Euro-Currency Successor Rate</u>"), and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Banks and the Borrowers unless, prior to such time, Banks comprising the Required Banks have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Banks object to such amendment.

The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Borrowers and each Bank of the implementation of any Euro-Currency Successor Rate.

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

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

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

SECTION 8.2. <u>Illegality</u>. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Euro-Currency Lending Office) of any Class with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Bank (or its Euro-Currency Lending Office) of any Class to make, maintain or fund its Term SOFR Loans or Euro-Currency Loans, as applicable, and such Bank shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks of such Class and Allegion plc, whereupon until such Bank notifies Allegion plc and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Bank to make Term SOFR Loans or Euro-Currency Loans, as applicable, of such Class shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section, such Bank shall designate a different Euro-Currency Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If such Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding Term SOFR Loans or Euro-Currency Loans, as applicable, to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, the applicable Borrower or Additional Borrower, as the case may be, shall immediately prepay in full the then outstanding principal amount of each such Term SOFR Loan or Euro-Currency Loan, as applicable, together with accrued interest thereon. Concurrently with prepaying each such Term SOFR Loan or Euro-Currency Loan, such Borrower or such Additional Borrower, as the case may be, shall borrow a Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars in an equal principal amount (or in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the principal amount, in the case of Foreign Currency Loans) from such Bank (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Term SOFR Loans or Euro-Currency Loans, as applicable, of the other Banks), and such Bank shall make such a Base Rate Loan.

SECTION 8.3. <u>Increased Cost and Reduced Return</u>. (a) If on or after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of any Class with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of any Class;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Bank of any Class or any Issuing Bank to any Taxes (other than (A) Taxes on payments under this Agreement, (B) Other Taxes and (C) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) impose on any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of any Class or any applicable interbank market any other condition affecting its Term SOFR Loans or Euro-Currency Loans of any Class, its Notes or its obligation to make Term SOFR Loans or Euro-Currency Loans of any Class;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of any Class of making or maintaining any Term SOFR Loan or Fixed Rate Loan of any Class, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Notes with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then, within 30 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers or Additional Borrowers, as the case may be, shall jointly and severally pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction; <u>provided</u> that the Borrowers or such Additional Borrower shall not be obligated to compensate such Bank for any increased cost or reduction incurred more than 60 days prior to the receipt by the Borrowers or such Additional Borrower of the notice contemplated by subsection 8.3(c) below (except that, if the applicable event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 60-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). The Banks acknowledge and agree that the foregoing subsection (a) creates no right to demand payment of additional amounts in respect of laws, rules and regulations, as in effect and interpreted and administered on the date hereof. For purposes of clause (ii) of this Section 8.3(a), the term "Bank" includes the Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If any Bank of any Class shall have determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy or liquidity, or any change in any such law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Bank (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Bank's obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 30 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the applicable Borrower or Additional Borrower, as the case may be, shall jointly and severally pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank (or its Parent) for such reduction; <u>provided</u> that such Borrower or such Additional Borrower shall not be obligated to compensate such Bank for any reduction incurred more than 60 days prior to the receipt by such Borrower or such Additional Borrower from such Bank of the notice contemplated by subsection 8.3(c) below (except that, if the applicable event giving rise to such reductions is retroactive, then the 60-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). The Banks acknowledge and agree that the foregoing subsection 8.3(b) creates no right to demand payment of additional amounts in respect of laws, rules and regulations regarding capital adequacy as in effect and interpreted and administered on the date hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Each Bank will notify Allegion plc and the Administrative Agent within 90 days of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank; <u>provided</u> that if a Bank shall not have so notified Allegion plc within 90 days of such event, such Bank may not seek compensation for any period beginning prior to the date upon which Allegion plc is notified of such event. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the calculation of the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 8.3, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States of America or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case, pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed to be a change in law, rule or regulation regardless of the date enacted, adopted, promulgated or issued; <u>provided</u> that a Bank may be compensated under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8.3 for any change in law, rule or regulation described in this paragraph (d) only if such Bank requests compensation for increased costs associated with any such change in law, rule or regulation from similarly-situated borrowers under comparable credit facilities.

SECTION 8.4. <u>Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Loans</u>. If (i) the obligation of any Bank of any Class to make Term SOFR Loans or Euro-Currency Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.2 or (ii) any Bank of any Class has demanded compensation under Section 8.3(a) and Allegion plc, by at least five Euro-Currency Business Days' prior notice to such Bank through the Administrative Agent, shall have elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Bank, then, unless and until such Bank notifies Allegion plc that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer 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;(a) all Loans of any applicable Class which would otherwise be made by such Bank as Term SOFR Loans or Euro-Currency Loans shall be made instead as Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Term SOFR Loans or Fixed Rate Loans of the other Banks); 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) after each of its Term SOFR Loans or Euro-Currency Loans of such Class has been repaid, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such Term SOFR Loans or Fixed Rate Loans of such Class shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans of such Class instead.

SECTION 8.5. <u>Substitution of Bank</u>. If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make Term SOFR Loans or Euro-Currency Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.2, (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.3, (iii) any Borrower is obligated to pay an additional amount to any Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to Section 2.15, (iv) any Bank is a Defaulting Bank or (v) any Bank has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that under Section 9.5 requires the consent of all the Banks (or all the affected Banks or all the Banks of the affected Class) and with respect to which the Required Banks (or, in circumstances where Section 9.5 does not require the consent of the Required Banks, a Majority in Interest of the Banks of the affected Class) shall have granted their consent, in each case, the Borrowers shall have the right, with the assistance of the Administrative Agent and at the sole expense of the applicable Borrower or the applicable Additional Borrower (except, in the case of clause (v), at the sole expense of the applicable Defaulting Bank), to seek a substitute bank or banks (which may be one or more of the Banks), mutually satisfactory to the applicable Borrower or applicable Additional Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to purchase the Loans and Notes (as applicable) and assume the Commitments of such Bank, in each case, of the relevant Class. The Borrowers shall give reasonable advance notice to the Bank to be so substituted; <u>provided</u> that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the rights of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 8.5.

SECTION 9.2. <u>No Waivers</u>. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

SECTION 9.3. <u>Expenses; Indemnification</u>. (a) The Borrowers shall jointly and severally pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the other Agents and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel in each jurisdiction, in connection with the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein and any credit or similar facility refinancing or replacing, in whole or in part, any of the credit facilities provided for herein, as well as the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any waiver, amendments or modifications of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Bank, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for any of the foregoing, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters 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;(b) The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the other Agents, the Banks, the Issuing Banks and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an "<u>Indemnitee</u>"), against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one firm of counsel for all such Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary, of a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single firm of special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all such Indemnitees, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Borrowers of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for such affected Indemnitee and, if reasonably necessary, of a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single firm of special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for such affected Indemnitee)), incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitees arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to (i) the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit); <u>provided</u> that the foregoing indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, apply to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses to the extent they are found in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (A) the bad faith, wilful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee, (B) a claim brought by any Borrower or any Subsidiary against such Indemnitee for material breach of such Indemnitee's obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (C) a proceeding that does not involve an act or omission by any Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnitee against any other Indemnitee (other than a proceeding that is brought against the Administrative Agent or any other agent or any Arranger in its capacity or in fulfilling its roles as an agent or arranger hereunder or any similar role with respect to the Debt incurred or to be incurred hereunder). This paragraph shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) To the extent that the Borrowers fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required to be paid by them under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Bank or any Related Party of any of the foregoing (and without limiting their obligation to do so), each Bank severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Bank or such Related Party, as applicable, such Bank's pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (it being understood and agreed that the Borrowers' failure to pay any such amount shall not relieve any Borrower of any default in the payment thereof); <u>provided</u> that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as applicable, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Bank in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Bank in connection with such capacity; <u>provided further</u> that, with respect to such unpaid amounts owed to any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Bank in its capacity as such, or to any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Bank in connection with such capacity, only the Revolving Banks shall be required to pay such unpaid amounts. For purposes of this Section, a Bank's "pro rata share" shall be determined by its share of the sum of the total Revolving Exposure and unused Revolving Commitments and, except for purposes of the second proviso of the immediately preceding sentence, the outstanding Term Loans and unused Term Commitments, in each case at that time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, (i) no Loan Party shall assert, or permit any of its Affiliates or Related Parties to assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), except to the extent such damages are found in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the bad faith, wilful misconduct or gross negligence of any Indemnitee or Related Party of any Indemnitee or (ii) neither any Indemnitee nor any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be liable for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; <u>provided</u> that nothing in this clause (ii) shall limit the expense reimbursement and indemnification obligations of the Borrowers set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 9.3.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.4. <u>Sharing of Set-Offs</u>. Each Bank agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Committed <u>Revolving</u> Loan made by it which is greater than the proportion received by any other Bank in respect of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Committed <u>Revolving</u> Loan made by such other Bank, the Bank receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Committed <u>Revolving</u> Loans made by the other Banks, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Committed <u>Revolving</u> Loans made by the Banks shall be shared by the Banks pro rata; <u>provided</u> that nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Bank to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of any Borrower or any Additional Borrower other than their indebtedness under the Committed <u>Revolving</u> Loans; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Borrower or any Additional Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Bank as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Committed <u>Revolving</u> Loans to any Eligible Assignee in a transaction that complies with the terms of Section 9.6. Each Borrower and each Additional Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Bank acquiring a participation in a Loan pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of such Borrower or such Additional Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 9.5. <u>Amendments and Waivers</u>. Any provision of this Agreement or the Notes may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrowers and the Required Banks (and, if the rights or duties of any Agent, the Swingline Bank or any Issuing Bank are affected thereby, by such Agent, Swingline Bank or Issuing Bank); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall, (1) unless signed by each of the Banks directly affected thereby, (a) increase or decrease any Commitment of any Bank (except for a ratable decrease in the Commitments of all Banks in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or subject any Bank to any additional obligation, (b) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or LC Disbursement or any fees hereunder other than pursuant to the ESG Amendment in accordance with Section 2.24, (c) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or LC Disbursement or any fees hereunder or for any reduction or termination of any Commitment, or (d) change Sections 2.12(a), 2.21(a) or 9.4 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, (2) (a) unless signed by each of the Banks, change Section 9.16(h) or 9.16(g) or release any Guarantor under this Agreement, subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 9.16(h), or (b) unless signed by each of the Banks (or each of the Banks of any Class), change the percentage of the Commitments (or Commitments of any Class) or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans (or Loans of any Class), or the number of Banks (or Banks of any Class), which shall be required for the Banks (or Banks of any Class) or any of them to take any action under this Section or any other provision of this Agreement, or (3) change any provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Banks holding Loans or Commitments of any Class differently from those holding Loans or Commitments of any other Class without the written consent of Banks representing a Majority in Interest of each affected Class<u>the Required Banks</u>. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the first proviso of this Section 9.5, (a) any amendment or waiver of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of the Banks of one or more Classes (but not the Banks of any other Class), may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the requisite number or percentage in interest of each affected Class of Banks that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Banks were the only Class of Banks hereunder at the time, (b) this Agreement may be amended to provide for the extension of any Maturity Date as provided in Section 2.22, and (c) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency or to make other immaterial changes (including, but not limited to, incorporating changes needed to reflect a successor in interest of any party specifically referred to herein) so long as, in each case, (1) such amendment does not adversely affect the rights of any Bank or (2) the Banks shall have received at least five Domestic Business Days' prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Domestic Business Days of the date of such notice to the Banks, a written notice from (x) the Required Banks stating that the Required Banks object to such amendment or (y) if affected by such amendment, the Swingline Bank or any Issuing Bank stating that it objects to such amendment.

SECTION 9.6. <u>Successors and Assigns</u>. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither Borrower nor any Additional Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all Banks, and any such assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and void.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Any Bank may at any time grant to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a "<u>Participant</u>") participating interests in any or all of its Commitments of any Class or any or all of its Loans of any Class. In the event of any such grant by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the applicable Borrower or applicable Additional Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such Bank shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the applicable Borrower or applicable Additional Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Bank shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 2.15(d) with respect to any payments made by such Bank to its Participants. Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of any Borrowers and any Additional Borrowers hereunder, including the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; <u>provided</u> that such participation agreement may provide that such Bank will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in clause (1)(a), (1)(b), (1)(c) or (1)(d) of Section 9.5 without the consent of the Participant. Subject to Section 9.6(f), the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of Article VIII and Section 2.15 with respect to its participating interest; <u>provided</u> that no Participant shall be entitled to the benefit of Section 2.15 unless such Participant complies with Section 2.15(f) as if it were a Bank. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection 9.6(c) or 9.6(d) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection 9.6(b). Each Bank that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the applicable Borrower or applicable Additional Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant's interest in any Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the "<u>Participant Register</u>"); <u>provided</u> that no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Borrower or any other Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any Loans or other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that the Loans are in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2), and 881(c)(2) of the Code. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Bank shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Any Bank may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all, or a proportionate part of all, of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes, and such Eligible Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit G hereto executed by such Eligible Assignee and such transferor Bank, with (and subject to) the subscribed consent of (i) the Borrowers and any Additional Borrower, (ii) in the case of assignments of Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans, each Issuing Bank, (iii) in the case of assignments of Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans, the Swingline Bank and (iv) the Administrative Agent, which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; <u>provided</u> that (i) no consent of any Borrower or any Additional Borrower shall be required if, in the case of an assignment of (x) a Term Loan or Term Commitment, an Eligible Assignee is another Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund, or (y) in the case of an assignment of a Revolving Loan or Revolving Commitment, another Revolving Bank, an Affiliate of a Revolving Bank or an Approved Fund in respect of a Revolving Bank, and, in either case, such Eligible Assignee delivers any forms, confirmations and certifications referenced in the last sentence of this Section 9.6(c), <u>and</u> (ii) no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required with respect to the assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan if an Eligible Assignee is another Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund and such Eligible Assignee delivers any forms, confirmations and certifications referenced in the last sentence of this Section 9.6(c), and (iii) the consent of any Borrower and any Additional Borrower shall not be required if an assignment is made during the existence of any Event of Default under Section 6.1(a), 6.1(f) or 6.1(g). Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Eligible Assignee to such transferor Bank of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Bank and such Eligible Assignee, such Eligible Assignee shall be a Bank party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank with a Commitment or Loans of such Class as set forth in such instrument of assumption, and the transferor Bank shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent (but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 8.3 and 9.3), and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection 9.6(c), the transferor Bank, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower or applicable Additional Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required, new Notes are issued to the Eligible Assignee. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $3,500. The Eligible Assignee shall, prior to the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for its account, deliver to the applicable Borrower or applicable Additional Borrower and the Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of any taxes in accordance with Section 2.15. In addition, the applicable Borrower or applicable Additional Borrower is entitled to withhold consent to such assignment if the Eligible Assignee is unable to deliver any forms or confirmations required by Section 2.15(f), including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-9, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI or W-8IMY (or a successor form), as applicable, certifying that if payments under this Agreement and the Notes were paid to such Eligible Assignee by a U.S. Borrower, such Eligible Assignee would be entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States tax.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Bank's Commitment or Loans of such Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Bank of any Class subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than (i) with respect to Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans, $5,000,000 and (ii) with respect to Term Commitments and Term Loans, $1,000,000, in each case, unless the applicable Borrower or applicable Additional Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); <u>provided</u> that no such consent of any Borrower or any Additional Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 6.1(a), 6.1(f) or 6.1(g) has occurred and is continuing and (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement; <u>provided</u> that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Bank's rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or 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;(e) Any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its Loans and, if applicable, Notes to a Federal Reserve Bank (or similar Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Bank). No such assignment shall release the transferor Bank from its obligations hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) No assignee of any Bank's rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or Section 8.3 than such Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made with the prior written consent of any Borrower or any Additional Borrower or by reason of the provisions of Section 8.2 or 8.3 requiring such Bank to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain circumstances or at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not exist. No Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15, Section 8.3 or any other provision hereof than such Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to such participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of such participation to such Participant is made with the prior written consent of the applicable Borrower and any Additional Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of any Borrower and any Additional Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent's Domestic Lending Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register (the "<u>Register</u>") for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Bank from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and any Borrower, any Additional Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Banks may (and, in the case of any Loan or other obligation hereunder not evidenced by a Note, shall) treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any assignment of any Loan or other obligation hereunder not evidenced by a Note shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower or any Additional Borrower or any Bank (with respect to any entry relating to such Bank's Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

SECTION 9.7. <u>Collateral</u>. Each of the Banks represents to the Administrative Agent and the other Banks that it in good faith is not relying upon any "margin stock" (as defined in Regulation U) as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

SECTION 9.8. <u>Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Process Agent</u>.

This Agreement and each Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Each Loan Party hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Each Loan Party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

SECTION 9.9. <u>Electronic Execution; Counterparts; Integration</u>. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement, any Loan Document and any other Communication, including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. Each of the Loan Parties and each of the Administrative Agent and each Bank agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on such Person to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. The Administrative Agent and each Bank may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record ("<u>Electronic Copy</u>"), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person's business, and destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank nor Swingline Bank is under any obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by such Person pursuant to procedures approved by it; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and/or Swingline Bank has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each Bank shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party and/or any Bank without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Bank, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart.

Neither the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank nor Swingline Bank shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent's, Issuing Bank's or Swingline Bank's reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means). The Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and Swingline Bank shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any Communication (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution or signed using an Electronic Signature) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof).

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

SECTION 9.10. <u>Confidentiality</u>. Each Agent and each Bank shall hold all non-public information regarding any Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries and their respective businesses identified as such by any Borrower and obtained by such Agent or such Bank pursuant to the requirements hereof in accordance with such Agent's or such Bank's customary procedures for handling confidential information of such nature, it being understood and agreed by the Borrowers that, in any event, the Administrative Agent may disclose such information to the Banks and each Agent and each Bank may make (i) disclosures of such information to Affiliates of such Bank or Agent and to their respective agents and advisors, it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential, (ii) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation of any Loans or any participations therein or by any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries and their respective obligations (<u>provided</u> that such assignees, transferees, participants, counterparties and advisors are advised of and agree to be bound by either the provisions of this Section or other provisions at least as restrictive as this Section), (iii) disclosures to any rating agency when required by it; <u>provided</u> that, prior to any such disclosures, the relevant rating agency or agencies shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Borrowers received by it from any of the Agents or any Bank, (iv) disclosures in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any Note, (v) disclosures to the CUSIP Bureau or to similar organizations and (vi) disclosures required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or other self-regulatory bodies or required by applicable laws, rules or regulations or pursuant to legal or judicial process; <u>provided</u> that, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law, rule, regulation or court order, each Bank and each Agent shall make reasonable efforts to notify the Borrowers of any request by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition, routine disclosures to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or other self-regulatory bodies or other routine examination of such Bank by such Governmental Authority) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information. In addition, each Agent and each Bank may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and similar service providers to the Agents and the Banks in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and any Note. <u>For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein prohibits any individual from communicating or disclosing information regarding suspected violations of laws, rules, or regulations to a governmental, regulatory, or self-regulatory authority without any notification to any person.</u>

SECTION 9.11. <u>No Fiduciary Duty</u>. Each Agent, each Bank and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the "<u>Banks</u>"), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties. Each Loan Party agrees that neither the Loan Documents nor any transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Banks and the Loan Parties, their stockholders or their Affiliates. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents are arm's-length commercial transactions between the Banks, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, (ii) in connection with any transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and with the process leading to such transaction, each of the Banks is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of any Loan Party or its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person, (iii) no Bank has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party with respect to any transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Bank or any of its Affiliates has advised or is currently advising such Loan Party on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (iv) each Loan Party has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent such Loan Party deemed appropriate. Each Loan Party further acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for making its own independent judgments with respect to any transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and the process leading thereto. Each Loan Party agrees that it will not claim that any Bank has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Loan Party, in connection with any transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or the process leading thereto.

SECTION 9.12. <u>Conversion of Currencies</u>. (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 (including the Borrowers and each Additional Borrower) agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be determined as described in the definition of Exchange Rate in Section 1.1 hereof and in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction of the first currency and shall be calculated at approximately 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) or as close to such time as is reasonably practicable on the Euro-Currency Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

&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 obligations of each Loan Party in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the "<u>Applicable Creditor</u>") shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the "<u>Judgment Currency</u>") other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the "<u>Agreement Currency</u>"), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Euro-Currency 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, each Loan Party agrees, as applicable, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of each Loan Party contained in this Section 9.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder. Furthermore, if the amount of the Agreement Currency purchased as described above is more than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, then such Applicable Creditor shall remit such excess to the applicable Loan Party.

SECTION 9.13. <u>WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL</u>. EACH LOAN PARTY, EACH AGENT AND EACH BANK HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

SECTION 9.14. <u>Severability</u>. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.15. <u>Headings</u>. Article and Section headings and the **Table of Contents** used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.16. <u>Guarantee Agreement</u>. (a) In order to induce the Banks to extend credit to the Borrowers and the Additional Borrowers hereunder, (i) in the case of Allegion plc and any Additional Borrower, Allegion US and Allegion Ireland hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the Obligations of Allegion plc and such Additional Borrower, (ii) in the case of Allegion US and any Additional Borrower, Allegion plc and Allegion Ireland hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the Obligations of the Allegion US and such Additional Borrower, (iii) in the case of Allegion Ireland and any Additional Borrower, Allegion plc and Allegion US hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the Obligations of the Allegion US and such Additional Borrower and<u>,</u> (iv) in the case of each Borrower and any Additional Borrower, each Guarantor (other than such Borrower or Additional Borrower, as the case may be) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the Obligations of such Borrower and any Additional Borrowers <u>and (v</u><u>) in the case of</u> <u>any Obligations in respect of Cash Management Agreements, each of Allegion plc, Allegion US and Allegion Ireland hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, such Obligations in respect of Cash Management Agreements</u>. The Guarantors further agree that the due and punctual payment of the Obligations of any Borrower and Additional Borrower, as applicable, may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from them, and that they will remain bound upon their guarantees hereunder notwithstanding any such extension or renewal of any Obligation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the guarantee provided by Allegion plc pursuant to this Section 9.16 shall only apply to the extent that the parties whose obligations are guaranteed hereunder are subsidiaries of Allegion plc. For the purposes of the foregoing sentence, the term "subsidiary" shall have the meaning given to it in Section 7 of the Companies Act 2014 of Ireland.

&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 Guarantors waive presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to any Borrower or any Additional Borrower, as applicable, of any of the Obligations, and also waive notice of acceptance of their obligations and notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Bank to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Borrower or any Additional Borrower, as applicable, under the provisions of this Agreement, any Note, any Additional Borrower Agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or release from, any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, any Note, any Additional Borrower Agreement or any other agreement; (iv) the failure or delay of any Bank to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Obligations; (v) the failure of any Bank to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, any Note or any other agreement or instrument; (vi) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations; or (vii) any other act, omission or delay to do any other act which may or might otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity or which would impair or eliminate any right of any Guarantor to subrogation. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or any other Loan Party or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower or any other Loan Party, other than the payment in full of all the Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Guarantors further agree that their guarantees hereunder constitute guarantees of payment when due (whether or not any bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall have stayed the accrual or collection of any of the Obligations or operated as a discharge thereof) and not merely of collection, and waive any right to require that any resort be had by any Bank to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Bank in favor of any Borrower, any Additional Borrower or other Subsidiary or any other Person. Each Guarantor agrees that its guarantee hereunder is continuing in nature and applies to all Obligations, whether currently existing or hereafter 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;(d) The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever, by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations, any impossibility in the performance of the Obligations or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Guarantors further agree that their respective obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Bank upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or any Additional Borrower or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Bank may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of a Borrower or any Additional Borrower to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, the relevant Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Administrative Agent, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Banks in cash an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of such Obligation. The Guarantors further agree that if payment in respect of any Obligation shall be due in currency other than Dollars and/or at a place of payment other than New York and if, by reason of any legal prohibition, disruption of currency or foreign exchange markets, war or civil disturbance or other event, payment of such Obligation in such currency or at such place of payment shall be impossible or, in the reasonable judgment of any Bank, not consistent with the protection of its rights, then, at the election of such Bank and in reasonable consultation with the applicable Guarantor, such Guarantor shall make payments of such Obligation in Dollars (based upon the applicable Exchange Rate in effect on the date of payment) and/or in New York, and shall indemnify such Bank against any losses or expenses (including losses or expenses resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates) that it shall sustain as a result of such alternative payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Upon payment by a Guarantor of any Obligation of any Borrower or any Additional Borrower, each Bank shall, in a reasonable manner, assign to such Guarantor the amount of such Obligation owed to such Bank and so paid, such assignment to be pro tanto to the extent to which the Obligation in question was discharged by such Guarantor, or make such disposition thereof as such Guarantor shall direct (all without recourse to any Bank and without any representation or warranty by any Bank). Upon payment by a Guarantor of any sums owed by a Borrower or an Additional Borrower as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against such Borrower or such Additional Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, through the assignment described herein or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of all the Obligations owed by such Borrower or such Additional Borrower to the Bank (it being understood that, after the discharge of all the Obligations due and payable from such Borrower or such Additional Borrower, such rights may be exercised by such Guarantor notwithstanding that such Borrower or such Additional Borrower may remain contingently liable for indemnity or other Obligations).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Subject to clause (e) above, the Banks agree that each Guarantor under this Agreement shall be automatically released from its obligations under this Section (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full in cash of all Obligations <u>(other than Obligations in respect of Cash Management Agreements)</u>, (ii) if Allegion plc requests the release of such Guarantor and such release is approved, authorized or ratified in writing (A) by each Bank, in the case of Allegion plc, and (B) by the Required Banks, in the case of any Guarantor other than Allegion plc; <u>provided</u> that, if, at the time such request for the release of any Guarantor (other than Allegion plc) is made, such Guarantor is a guarantor under any Public Debt, such release of such Guarantor must be approved, authorized or ratified in writing by each Bank or (iii) if Allegion plc requests the release of such Guarantor (A) because such Guarantor ceases to be required to guarantee the Obligations pursuant to the definition of "Guarantors" in Section 1.1 or (B) in connection with a transaction permitted by Section 5.3 pursuant to which such Guarantor is not the surviving entity; provided that the surviving entity assumes such Guarantor's guarantee hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) In each case as specified in this Section, the Administrative Agent shall promptly (and each Bank irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at the Borrowers' expense, execute and deliver to any Borrower and the relevant Guarantor such documents as any Borrower may reasonably request to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations 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;(j) Any Person that is required to become a Guarantor pursuant to the definition of "Guarantors" in Section 1.1 shall execute and deliver a copy of this Agreement (or a supplement hereto in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) and thereupon such Person shall become a Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if such Person had executed this Agreement as a Guarantor on the Effective Date. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Loan Party or Bank party hereto. The rights and obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor as a party to this Agreement.

SECTION 9.17. <u>USA PATRIOT Act Notice</u>. Each Bank hereby notifies each Loan Party that, pursuant to the requirements of bank regulatory authorities under applicable "know-your-customer" and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001), the "<u>Patriot Act</u>"), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the names and addresses of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Bank to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.

SECTION 9.18. <u>Survival</u>. The provisions of Sections 2.13, 2.15, 2.21(b), 8.3 and 9.3 and Article VII (other than Section 7.9) shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments, the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof or whether extensions of credit are made hereunder.

SECTION 9.19. <u>Platform</u>. The Borrowers and all Additional Borrowers agree that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any communications by posting such communication on Debt Domain, IntraLinks, SyndTrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the "<u>Platform</u>"). The Platform is provided "as is" and "as available". Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties warrants, or shall be deemed to warrant, as to the adequacy of the Platform and each such Person expressly disclaims any liability for errors or omissions in such communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made, or shall be deemed to be made, by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties in connection with such communications or the Platform.

SECTION 9.20. <u>Joint and Several Liability</u>. (a) In consideration of the establishment of the Commitments and the making of the Loans and issuance of the Letters of Credit hereunder, and of the benefits to Allegion plc, Allegion US and Allegion Ireland that are anticipated to result therefrom, each of Allegion plc, Allegion US and Allegion Ireland agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or in any other Loan Document, each Borrower and each Additional Borrower will be a co-borrower hereunder and shall be fully liable for all of the Obligations, both severally and jointly. Accordingly, each Borrower and each Additional Borrower irrevocably agrees with each Bank and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns that such Borrower and such Additional Borrower will make prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by optional prepayment or otherwise) of the Obligations, strictly in accordance with the terms thereof. Each Borrower and each Additional Borrower hereby further agrees that if any Loan Party shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by optional prepayment or otherwise) any of the Obligations, then it will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or 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;(b) <u>Obligations Unconditional</u>. The obligations of each Borrower and each Additional Borrower under paragraph (a) above are absolute and unconditional irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of any other Borrower or other Additional Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section that the joint and several obligations of each Borrower and each Additional Borrower hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not affect the joint and several liability of the Borrowers and Additional Borrowers hereunder:

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the maturity of any of the Obligations shall be accelerated or delayed, or any of the Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Certain Waivers</u>. Each Borrower and each Additional Borrower hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Bank exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against either it or the other Borrower or Additional Borrowers under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Reinstatement</u>. The obligations of the Borrowers and any Additional Borrowers under this Section shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of Allegion plc, Allegion US or Allegion Ireland in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Remedies</u>. Each of the Borrowers and each Additional Borrower agrees that, as between them, in their capacity as co-obligors with joint and several liability, and the Banks, the obligations of either of them under this Agreement may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article VI hereof (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Article VI) for purposes of paragraph (a) above notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against either of them and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by one of them) shall forthwith become due and payable by the other, in its capacity as obligor or co-obligor, as applicable, for purposes of such paragraph (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;(f) <u>Continuing Obligation</u>. Each of the agreements of Allegion plc, Allegion US and Allegion Ireland in this Section is a continuing agreement and undertaking, and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) <u>Standstill</u>. Upon payment by any Borrower or any Additional Borrower of any sums as provided under paragraph (a) above, all rights, if any, of any other Borrower or other Additional Borrower against such Borrower or such Additional Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of subrogation or otherwise shall in all respects be irrevocably waived prior to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations.

SECTION 9.21. <u>Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the parties to any such Loan Document, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

&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
