Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Lenders hereby establish in favor of the Borrowers a term loan facility pursuant to which each Lender severally agrees (to the extent of such Lender's Term Commitment) to make Term Loans to the Borrowers in accordance with <u>Section 2.2</u>.

**Section 2.2** <u>Term Loans</u>. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make, in a single draw on the Closing Date, one or more term loans (the " <u>Term Loans</u>") to the Borrowers in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the amount set forth opposite such Lender's name in <u>Schedule II</u> under the heading " Term Commitment", which Term 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;(i) except as hereinafter provided, shall, at the option of the Borrower Representative be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, ABR Term Loans or Term SOFR Rate Loans; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) shall be made by each such Lender in an aggregate principal amount which does not exceed the Term Commitment of such Lender.

Once repaid, Term Loans incurred hereunder may not be reborrowed.

**Section 2.3** <u>Procedure for Borrowing</u>. The Borrower Representative shall have given the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing), substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit 2.3</u> (a "<u>Notice of Borrowing</u>"), prior to 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (or such later time as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion), which Notice of Borrowing may be revoked. Such Notice of Borrowing shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Borrowing, (ii) the Type of Term Loans requested thereunder, (iii) if the Borrowing consists of Term SOFR Rate Loans, the length of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iv) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be the Closing Date) and (v) the identity and wire instructions of the Borrower(s) (which may be changed by the Borrower Representative by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such requested Borrowing (or such later time as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion); *provided* that the Borrower Representative shall provide a supplemental notice with the updated information on or prior to the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such requested Borrowing (or such later time as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion)). Promptly following the receipt of a Notice of Borrowing in accordance herewith, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and the amount of such Lender's Term Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

**Section 2.4** <u>Funding of Borrowings</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Each Lender will make available each Term Loan to be made by it hereunder on the Closing Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds by 9:00 a.m. to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office. The Administrative Agent will make such Term Loans available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts that it receives, in like funds by 9:30 a.m. on the Closing Date, to an account maintained by such Borrower with the Administrative Agent or, at such Borrower's option, by effecting a wire transfer of such amounts to an account designated by such Borrower 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;(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to 5:00 p.m. one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance on such assumption, may make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender on the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest (x) at the Federal Funds Rate until the second Business Day after such demand and (y) at the Applicable Interest Rate at all times thereafter. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent's demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative, and the Borrowers, or any of them, shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent together with interest at the rate specified for such Borrowing. Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender 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;(c) All Borrowings shall be made by the Lenders on the basis of their respective Pro Rata Shares. No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligations hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Term Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Term Loans hereunder.

**Section 2.5** <u>Termination of Term Commitments</u>. Unless previously terminated, all Term Commitments shall terminate on the Closing Date (after giving effect to the incurrence of the Term Loans on such date).

**Section 2.6** <u>[Reserved]</u>.

**Section 2.7** <u>Extension of Term of Facility</u>. If (i) the Borrower Representative delivers written notice to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent not less than 90 days before the then Stated Maturity Date requesting an extension of the Stated Maturity Date and (ii) each Lender agrees in writing to such request not less than 30 days before the then Stated Maturity Date (or as otherwise may be agreed between the Lenders and the Borrower Representative from time to time), then, effective as of the then applicable Stated Maturity Date, such Stated Maturity Date shall be extended by the period agreed by the parties; *provided*, that a failure by any Lender to deliver written notification to the Borrower Representative of its decision within the required timing, or within such other period as agreed between the Borrower Representative and such Lender, shall be deemed a refusal by such Lender to extend the Stated Maturity Date.

**Section 2.8** <u>Repayment of Term Loans</u>. The outstanding principal amount of all Term Loans shall be due and payable (together with any PIK Amount and unpaid Accrued Interest thereon) on the Termination Date.

**Section 2.9** <u>Evidence of Indebtedness</u>. At the request of the applicable Lender, concurrently with the execution hereof and upon each assignment permitted under <u>Section 9.4</u>, each Borrower shall execute and deliver a Note in the name of each Lender, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Agreement, and with such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Note, as evidenced by their execution of the Note. Each Note will have a maximum principal amount equal to the initial Term Loans of the applicable Lender.

**Section 2.10** <u>Optional Prepayments</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) A Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay the Designated Amount, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, on any Business Day subject to prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing), substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit 2.10</u> (or in such other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) (a "<u>Notice of Prepayment</u>"). The applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone, which shall be confirmed by delivering the Notice of Prepayment by electronic mail or telecopy promptly thereafter, of any prepayments hereunder, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, (i) at least three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior to the date of prepayment (in the case of Term SOFR Rate Loans) or (ii) on the date of prepayment (in the case of ABR Term Loans). Each such Notice of Prepayment shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the Designated Amount or portion thereof to be prepaid. Each partial prepayment shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000 unless the Required Lenders shall have agreed to a lesser amount. Each Lender will record a prepayment on the annex provided therefor on the applicable Note or, in the event that the Lender does not have such Note, on its books and records relating to such Term 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) Upon receipt of the Notice of Prepayment described in paragraph (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of any such prepayment. If such Notice of Prepayment is given, the aggregate amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date designated in such notice, together with Accrued Interest to such date on the amount so prepaid in accordance with <u>Section 2.12</u>.

**Section 2.11** <u>Mandatory Prepayments</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Upon delivery of a written notice from the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders to the Borrower Representative of the occurrence of an Illegality Event and by no later than the earliest of (i) the date required by law, (ii) three (3) days following the delivery of such written notice and (iii) the Termination Date, the Borrowers shall prepay the Obligations together with any Accrued Interest and any other costs, accrued and other fees or amounts due or payable by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Following the receipt by (or on behalf of) any Borrower of Net Proceeds of an Issuer Distribution, such Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any PIK Amount) together with any Accrued Interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount so prepaid in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Proceeds; *provided*, no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this clause (c) to the extent the Borrower LTV Test would be met on a pro forma basis immediately after giving effect to such Issuer Distribution and any payment hereunder (the "<u>Distribution Condition</u>"). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Borrower shall be permitted to pay or make, directly or indirectly, any restricted payment or other distribution in an amount equal to all or a portion of the proceeds of any Issuer Distribution, or use such amount for any purpose not otherwise prohibited hereunder, to the extent no prepayment is required in such amount pursuant to the Distribution Condition.

&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) Following the occurrence of a Permitted Preferred Interest Transfer, the Borrowers shall after receipt of any proceeds in connection with such Permitted Preferred Interest Transfer, prepay the Term Loans (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any PIK Amount) together with any Accrued Interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount so prepaid in an aggregate amount equal to the Net Proceeds received therefrom. *provided*, no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this clause (d) to the extent the Borrower LTV Test would be met on a pro forma basis immediately after giving effect to such Permitted Preferred Interest Transfer and any payment hereunder (the "<u>Disposition Distribution Condition</u>"). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Borrower shall be permitted to pay or make, directly or indirectly, any restricted payment or other distribution in an amount equal to all or a portion of the proceeds of any Permitted Preferred Interest Transfer, or use such amount for any purpose not otherwise prohibited hereunder, to the extent no prepayment is required in such amount pursuant to the Disposition Distribution Condition.

&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) Following the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Issuer, the Borrowers shall prepay the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any PIK Amount), together with any Accrued Interest to the date of such prepayment, and all other Obligations then due and owing.

&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 at any time the removal of an AIV Guarantor (as defined in the CDR Guarantee) from the CDR Guarantee would cause the Designated Amount to exceed the LTV Trigger, the Borrowers shall, prior to or concurrently with such removal, prepay the Term Loans (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any PIK Amount) together with any Accrued Interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount so prepaid in an amount equal to such excess.

&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) Any mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section shall be made on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days (or such later date that is agreed to by the Administrative Agent, but in any event not to exceed ten (10) Business Days) following the date on which the applicable event or receipt of the applicable Net Proceeds occurs plus, if during such period the Borrower Representative delivers to the Administrative Agent a Capital Call Confirmation Package, fifteen (15) Business Days.

**Section 2.12** <u>Interest on Term Loans</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Each Borrower shall pay interest (i) on each Term SOFR Rate Loan made to such Borrower hereunder at the Term SOFR Rate for each Interest Period plus the applicable Spread and (ii) on each ABR Term Loan at the Alternate Base Rate plus the applicable Spread (in each case, such interest, the "<u>Accrued 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;(b) If, other than in connection with a Benchmark Transition Event, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Term SOFR Rate for an Interest Period in the manner set forth above in subsection <u>(a)(i)</u>, the applicable Term SOFR Rate Loans shall be made or continued as ABR Term 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;(c) In no event shall the Applicable Interest Rate charged with respect to any Term Loan or any fees, charges or other amounts which may be treated as interest hereunder exceed the maximum amount permitted under the laws of the State of New York or of any other applicable jurisdiction (the "<u>Maximum Rate</u>"). If the Lenders shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the Designated Amount or, if it exceeds the Designated Amount, refunded to the applicable Borrower. In determining whether the Applicable Interest Rate contracted for, charged or received by the Lenders exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee or premium rather than interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the 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;(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal on any Term Loan, any Accrued Interest thereon or any fee or other amount payable by any Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether on the Stated Maturity Date, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Term Loans as provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section (the "<u>Default Interest Rate</u>"). Such interest shall be payable on demand.

&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) Accrued Interest on the Term Loans shall be payable by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders on each Interest Payment Date and on each day on which the Term Loans are repaid or prepaid; *provided* that (x) upon written notice by the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior to such Interest Payment Date, Accrued Interest in an amount specified by the Borrower Representative with respect to the Term Loans shall be paid from the amounts in a Borrower's Interest Reserve Account and (y) unless the Borrower Representative elects to pay such interest in cash (either through the Interest Reserve Account or otherwise) by written notice to the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior to such Interest Payment Date, such Accrued Interest shall be automatically paid in-kind, in which case such interest will be added, as of such Interest Payment Date, to the outstanding principal amount of the Borrowers' Term Loans (the aggregate amount of interest so capitalized, the "<u>PIK Amount</u>")).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Term Loans hereunder and shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and the Lenders of such rate in writing (or by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing). Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

**Section 2.13** <u>Fees</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account fees in the amounts and at the times agreed in writing by the Borrowers and 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) [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) The Borrowers shall pay on the Closing Date to the Lenders all upfront fees previously agreed in writing.

**Section 2.14** <u>Computation of Interest and Fees</u>. All interest (other than interest based on the Base Rate) and fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the number of days elapsed, including the first day but excluding the last day; and interest based on the Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days, as the case may be) and the number of days elapsed, including the first day but excluding the last day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be made in good faith and, except for manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.

**Section 2.15** <u>Illegality</u>. If any Illegality Event shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to any Affected Loans and any affected Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and the other Lenders, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative that the circumstances giving rise to such Illegality Event no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make Term Loans constituting Affected Loans shall be suspended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the affected Lender shall, prior to giving such notice to the Administrative Agent, designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation would avoid the need for giving such notice and if such designation would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in the good faith exercise of its discretion.

**Section 2.16** <u>Increased Costs</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If any Change in Law shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Term SOFR Rate hereunder against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) 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 Lender any other condition affecting this Agreement;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender by an amount which such Lender deems to be material of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining a Term SOFR Rate Loan or to reduce the amount received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), and if such Lender is generally requiring similarly situated borrowers under similar credit facilities of similar size to pay such additional amounts, then, from time to time, such Lender may provide the Borrower Representative (with a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent) with written notice and demand with respect to such increased costs or reduced amounts, and within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice and demand the Borrowers, or any of them, shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for any such increased costs incurred or reduction suffered; *provided*, that, in any such case, each affected Borrower may elect to convert the Term SOFR Rate Loans made by such Lender to such Borrower hereunder to ABR Term Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day's (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) notice of such election, in which case such Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon demand, without duplication, amounts theretofore required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to this <u>Section 2.16(a)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If any Lender shall have determined that after the date of this Agreement (or, if later, the date such Lender became a Lender) any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's capital (or on the capital of the Parent Company of such Lender) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such Parent Company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's policies or the policies of such Parent Company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), and if such Lender is generally requiring similarly situated borrowers under similar credit facilities of similar size to pay such additional amounts, then, from time to time, such Lender may provide the Borrower Representative (with a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent) with written notice and demand with respect to such reduced amounts, and within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice and demand the Borrowers, or any of them, shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Parent Company for any such reduction suffered.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The written notices delivered by a Lender pursuant to clause <u>(a)</u> or (b) above shall include a certificate of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of the relevant event, the applicable Borrower and the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Parent Company of such Lender specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, which 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) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand such compensation; *provided* that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender under this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower Representative of such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor.

**Section 2.17** <u>[Reserved]</u>.

Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the amount so payable by any Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers</u>. Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes, in each case within 10 days after demand therefor.

&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>Indemnification by the Borrowers</u>. Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any 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 shall be delivered to the Borrower Representative by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of <u>Section 9.4(d)</u> relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

&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>Evidence of Payments</u>. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this <u>Section 2.18</u>, the Borrower Representative 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) If any Agent or any Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, such Agent or such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Agent or any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will enable any Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Agent or such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in <u>Sections 2.18(g)(ii)(A)</u>, <u>(B)</u>, <u>(D</u>) and <u>(E)</u>) shall not be required if in the Agent's or Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Agent or such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Agent or such Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) any Lender or Agent that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender or such Agent becomes a Lender or Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender or Agent is a U.S. Person and 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) any Foreign Lender and Agent that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower Representative 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 Lender or such Agent, as applicable, becomes a Lender or Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of any 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. in the case of a Foreign Lender or Agent 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 appropriate, 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 appropriate, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "business profits" or "other income" article of such tax treaty;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii. 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iii. in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit 2.18A</u> to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a "10 percent shareholder" of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a "controlled foreign corporation" described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the 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 appropriate; 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;iv. to the extent a Foreign Lender or Agent is not the Beneficial Owner, (x) executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E as appropriate, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit 2.18B</u> or <u>Exhibit 2.18C</u>, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each Beneficial Owner, as applicable; *provided* that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit 2.18D</u> on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) any Foreign Lender or Agent that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower Representative 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 Lender or Agent becomes a Lender or Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit any Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the date on which it becomes an Administrative Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. in the case of an Administrative Agent that is not 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for its own account; 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;2. executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of others, certifying that it is a "U.S. branch" and that the payments it receives for the account of others are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business within the United States and that it is using such form as evidence of its agreement with the Borrower to be treated as a U.S. person with respect to such payments (and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree to so treat the Administrative Agent as a U.S. person with respect to such payments as contemplated by Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) of the United States Treasury Regulations); 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;3. such other forms or certifications as may be sufficient under applicable law to establish whether the Administrative Agent is entitled to receive any payment by any Borrower under this Agreement (whether for its own account or for the account of others) without deduction or withholding, or at a reduced rate of withholding, of any U.S. federal income Taxes;

unless in any such case (other than with respect to U.S. backup withholding tax) there has been a Change in Law which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent the Administrative Agent from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and the Administrative Agent so advises the Borrower Representative.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii. in the case of an Administrative Agent that is a U.S. Person, executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Administrative Agent is a U.S. Person and is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax.

Each Agent and each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification and deliver such updated form to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent and, if necessary, obtain any extensions of time reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent for filing and completing any forms or certificates described in this Section 2.18(g).

&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>Treatment of Certain Refunds</u>. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to <u>Section 2.16</u> or this <u>Section 2.18</u> (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to <u>Section 2.16</u> or this <u>Section 2.18</u>), 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 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 (h) (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 (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the 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;(i) <u>Survival</u>. Each party's obligations under this <u>Section 2.18</u> shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

**Section 2.19** <u>Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs</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 shall make each payment required to be made by each of them hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of amounts payable under <u>Section 2.16</u>, <u>2.17</u> or <u>2.18</u>, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date when due, in immediately available funds, free and clear of any defenses, rights of set-off, counterclaim, or withholding or deduction of taxes. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office, except that payments pursuant to <u>Sections 2.16</u>, <u>2.17</u>, <u>2.18</u> and <u>9.3</u> may be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be made payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made 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;(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied as follows: <u>first</u>, to all fees and reimbursable expenses of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents; <u>second</u>, to all reimbursable expenses of the Lenders then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, *pro rata* to the Lenders based on their respective *pro rata* shares of such fees and expenses; <u>third</u>, to all interest and fees then due and payable hereunder, *pro rata* to the Lenders based on their respective *pro rata* shares of such interest and fees; and <u>fourth</u>, to all principal of the Term Loans then due and payable hereunder, *pro rata* to the parties entitled thereto based on their respective *pro rata* shares of such principal.

&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 any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Term Loans that would result in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its outstanding Term Loans and accrued interest and fees thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender with respect to its outstanding Term Loans, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the outstanding Term Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective outstanding Term Loans; *provided* that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this subsection shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its outstanding Term Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to a Borrower or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this subsection shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount or amounts due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

**Section 2.20** <u>Mitigation of Obligations</u>. If any Recipient requests compensation under <u>Section 2.16</u>, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Recipient or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to <u>Section 2.18</u>, then such Recipient shall (at the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative) use reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of the event giving rise to such request or payment, including, in the case of a Lender, designating a different lending office for funding or booking its Term Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, or otherwise take other steps reasonably available to it to mitigate the effects of the event giving rise to such request if, in the sole judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable under <u>Section 2.16</u> or <u>2.18</u>, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. If such designation or assignment is requested by the Borrower Representative, the Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with such designation or assignment.

**Section 2.21** <u>Replacement of Lenders</u>. If (a) any Lender requests compensation under <u>Section 2.16</u>, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to <u>Section 2.18</u>, (b) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by <u>Section 9.2(b)</u>, the consent of Required Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a "<u>Non-Consenting Lender</u>") whose consent is required shall not have been obtained, then the Borrower Representative may, at the Borrowers' sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions set forth in <u>Section 9.4(b)</u>), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to <u>Section 2.16</u> or <u>2.18</u>, as applicable) and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender) (a "<u>Replacement Lender</u>"); *provided* that (i) the Borrower Representative shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of all Term Loans owed to it (including any PIK Amount), accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (in the case of such outstanding principal and accrued interest) and from the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of a claim for compensation under <u>Section 2.16</u> or payments required to be made pursuant to <u>Section 2.16</u>, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, and (iv) in the case of a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

**Section 2.22** <u>Defaulting Lenders</u>.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Such Defaulting Lender's right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and in <u>Section 9.2</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to <u>Article VII</u> or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to <u>Section 9.7</u> shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: <u>first</u>, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents; <u>second</u>, as the Borrower Representative may request (so long as no Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Term Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; <u>third</u>, [reserved]; <u>fourth</u>, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; <u>fifth</u>, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to a Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and <u>sixth</u>, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; *provided* that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Term Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Term Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a *pro rata* basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Term Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Term Loans are held by the Lenders *pro rata* in accordance with the Term Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Defaulting Lender Cure</u>. If the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Term Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Term Loans to be held *pro rata* by the Lenders in accordance with the applicable Term Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; *provided* that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and *provided*, *further*, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender's having been a Defaulting Lender.

**Section 2.23** <u>Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, each Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent (each, an "<u>Acknowledging Party</u>") acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured and solely relates to the Loans and not to any other Person, including any other party hereto or any other Loan Document (and not to any other obligations), to such Acknowledging Party (all such liabilities, other than any Excluded Liability, the "<u>Covered Liabilities</u>") 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 to any Covered Liability arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document which may be payable to it by any Lender 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 Covered 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 Covered 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 Covered Liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such Covered Liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; 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 variation of the terms of such Covered Liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

Such Borrower may elect from time to time to convert outstanding Term Loans from ABR Term Loans in whole or in part to Term SOFR Rate Loans (it being agreed that such Borrower may select Interest Periods with different lengths for different parts of such converted Term SOFR Rate Loan (and upon the applicable conversion, each part of such Term SOFR Rate Loan with a different Interest Period shall thereafter constitute a separate Term SOFR Rate Loan))by such Borrower giving the Administrative Agent a Notice of Conversion/Continuation of such election prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time at least three Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior to such election. Any such Notice of Conversion/Continuation requesting a conversion to Term SOFR Rate Loans shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt of any such Notice of Conversion/Continuation the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof. All or any part of outstanding Term SOFR Rate Loans or ABR Term Loans may be converted as provided herein; *provided* that (i) (unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent) no Term Loan may be converted into a Term SOFR Rate Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and, in the case of any Default (other than any Default under clause (j) of Article VII), the Administrative Agent has given notice to the Borrowers that no such conversions may be made and (ii) no Term Loan may be converted into a Term SOFR Rate Loan after the date that is one month prior to the Stated Maturity Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Any Term SOFR Rate Loan may be continued as such in whole or in part upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by a Borrower submitting a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to the Administrative Agent of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Term Loan, determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term "Interest Period" set forth in <u>Section 1.1</u>, it being agreed that such Borrower may select Interest Periods with different lengths for different parts of such Term SOFR Rate Loan (and upon the applicable continuation, each part of such Term SOFR Rate Loan with a different Interest Period shall thereafter constitute a separate Term SOFR Rate Loan); *provided* that no Term SOFR Rate Loan may be continued as such (i) (unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent) when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and, in the case of any Default (other than any Default under clause (j) of Article VII), the Administrative Agent has given notice to the Borrowers that no such continuation may be made or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the Stated Maturity Date; *provided*, *further*, that if a Borrower shall fail to give any required Notice of Conversion/Continuation as described above in this clause (b), then (x) such Term Loans shall be automatically continued in full as Term SOFR Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period with an Interest Period of the same length as the then expiring Interest Period or (y) if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such Term Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Term Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such Notice of Conversion/Continuation requesting a continuation pursuant to this <u>Section 2.24(b)</u>, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof.

**Section 2.25** <u>Benchmark Replacement</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>Benchmark Replacement</u>. If (i) the Administrative Agent determines in good faith that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Benchmark or an Illegality Event has occurred, and the inability to ascertain or such Illegality Event, as applicable, is unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Benchmark shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans (in the case of any such clause (i) or (ii), a "<u>Benchmark Transition Event</u>"), then at the option of the Borrower Representative, the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of a reasonable, good faith objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders specifying in reasonable detail the reason for such objection. If the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such objection from the Lenders comprising the Required Lenders, the then-current Benchmark may nevertheless thereafter be replaced with any Benchmark Replacement approved by the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes</u>.

During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the last available then-current Benchmark shall be deemed to be the Benchmark Replacement. Upon the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower Representative may revoke any request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, for the avoidance of doubt, such requests will be deemed a request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans bearing interest at such last available then-current Benchmark. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Alternate Base Rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Certain Defined Terms</u>. As used in this <u>Section 2.25</u>:

"<u>Benchmark Replacement Adjustment</u>" means, with respect to any replacement of the then current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any applicable Interest Period and Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for transactions similar to that hereunder.

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

"<u>Benchmark Replacement Date</u>" means (1) in the case of clause (i) of the definition of "Benchmark Transition Event," the date designated as such by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative in their reasonable discretion and (2) in the case of clause (ii) of the definition of "Benchmark Transition Event," the later of (a) the date of the public statement referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark.

ARTICLE VIII

**THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT**

**Section 8.1** <u>Appointment of the Administrative Agent</u>. Each Lender irrevocably appoints Wells Fargo as the Administrative Agent and authorizes it to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with all such actions and powers that are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or through any one or more sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent or attorney-in-fact may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions set forth in this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent, attorney-in-fact or Related Party.

**Section 8.2** <u>Nature of Duties of the Administrative Agent</u>. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except those discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in <u>Section 9.2</u>); *provided* 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 Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it, its sub-agents or its attorneys-in-fact with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in <u>Section 9.2</u>) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof (which notice shall include an express reference to such event being a "Default" or "Event of Default" hereunder) is given to the Administrative Agent by any Borrower or any Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any 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 and conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in <u>Article III</u> or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrowers) concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.

**Section 8.3** <u>Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent</u>. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each of the Lenders also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking any action under or based on this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Each of the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that outside legal counsel to the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration (including any amendments, waivers and consents) of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents is acting solely as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to any Lender (other than the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates) in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

**Section 8.4** <u>Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent</u>. If the Administrative Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any action or actions (including the failure to act) in connection with this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such act unless and until it shall have received instructions from such Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders where required by the terms of this Agreement.

**Section 8.5** <u>Reliance by the 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, posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrowers), independent public 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 such counsel, accountants or experts.

**Section 8.6** <u>The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity</u>. The bank serving as the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the terms "Lenders", "Required Lenders", or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The bank acting as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrowers as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

**Section 8.7** <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) Subject to the appointment of a successor as set forth below, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time upon ten (10) days' notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof which maintains an office in the United States, subject in each case to approval by the Borrower Representative; *provided* that no Event of Default under <u>clause (a)</u>, <u>(b)</u>, <u>(c)</u> or (j) of <u>Article VII</u> shall exist at such time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent and its representatives and agents in respect of any actions taken or not taken by any of them while it was serving as the Administrative Agent.

**Section 8.8** <u>Withholding Tax</u>. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the IRS or any authority of the United States or any other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent agrees to act as the U.S. federal withholding tax agent in respect of all amounts payable by it under the Loan Documents.

**Section 8.9** <u>The Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Term Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on such Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Term Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under <u>Section 9.3</u>) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

&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 custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under <u>Section 9.3</u>.

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

**Section 8.10** <u>Authorization to Execute Other Loan Documents</u>. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to execute on behalf of all Lenders (x) all Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Collateral Documents and any subordination agreements) other than this Agreement or (y) any amendment, supplement or joinder to this Agreement pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with any Permitted Preferred Interest Affiliate Transfer.

**Section 8.11** <u>Collateral Matters</u>. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon the payment in full of the Term Loans and all other Obligations then due and owing, (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with <u>Section 9.2</u>, or pursuant to any Permitted Preferred Interest Affiliate Transfer. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent's authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Borrower from its obligations under the applicable Collateral Documents pursuant to this Section. In each case as specified in this Section, the Administrative Agent is authorized, at the Borrowers' expense, to execute and deliver to the applicable Borrower such documents as such Borrower may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the Liens granted under the applicable Collateral Documents, or to release such Borrower from its obligations under the applicable Collateral Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section.

**Section 8.12** <u>Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce CDR Guarantee</u>. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree that (i) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Collateral Documents or the CDR Guarantee, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder, under the CDR Guarantee and under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, and (ii) to the extent permitted by law, in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale or other disposition.

**Section 8.13** <u>Recovery of Erroneous Payments</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Each Lender hereby agrees that (<u>x</u>) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, an "<u>Erroneous Payment</u>") were erroneously transmitted to such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the NYFRB Rate from time to time in effect, and (<u>y</u>) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this <u>Section 8.13</u> shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives an Erroneous Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (<u>x</u>) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Erroneous Payment (a "<u>Payment Notice</u>") or (<u>y</u>) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Erroneous Payment. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the NYFRB Rate from time to time in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) In the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding <u>clauses (a)</u> and <u>(b)</u>, from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (or from any payment recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an "<u>Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency</u>"), upon the Administrative Agent's request to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Term Loans (but not its Term Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the "<u>Erroneous Payment Impacted Class</u>") in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (such assignment of the Term Loans (but not Term Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the "<u>Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment</u>") at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with any Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance by reference pursuant to an electronic platform approved by the Administrative Agent as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any promissory notes issued under <u>Section 2.9</u> evidencing such Term Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Term Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Term Commitments of any Lender and such Term Commitments shall remain available 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) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not, in and of itself, be deemed to pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from any Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of paying, prepaying, repaying, discharging or otherwise satisfying any Obligations owed by any Borrower or any other Loan Party.

&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) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, this <u>Section 8.13</u> will not create any additional Obligations of the Loan Parties' under the Loan Documents or otherwise increase or alter such Obligations (other than having consented to the assignment referenced in <u>Section 8.13(c)</u>).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Each party's obligations under this <u>Section 8.13</u> shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Term Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable within 30 days after written demand therefor.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, except as set forth below, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits (and to have the obligations of) a Lender under <u>Sections 2.16</u>, <u>2.17</u>, <u>2.18</u> and <u>9.3</u> with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment and shall continue to be bound by <u>Sections 2.18</u> and <u>9.11</u>; *provided* that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender's having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of 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;(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Term Commitments of, and principal amount of the Term Loans (including any PIK Amount) owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "<u>Register</u>"). Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender shall be available for inspection by such Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice; information contained in the Register shall also be available for inspection by the Borrower Representative at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In establishing and maintaining the Register, the Administrative Agent shall serve as each Borrower's agent solely for tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in this Section, and the Borrowers hereby agree that, to the extent Wells Fargo serves in such capacity, Wells Fargo and its officers, directors, employees, agents, sub-agents and affiliates shall constitute "<u>Indemnitees</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) Upon the request by any Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Borrower shall execute and deliver a Note to each assignee Lender and, in the case of a partial assignment, to the assigning Lender. On or prior to the effective date of an assignment pursuant to this <u>Section 9.4</u>, the assigning Lender shall surrender any outstanding Notes held by it all or a portion of which are being assigned. Any Notes surrendered by the assigning Lender shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower Representative marked as "cancelled."

&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 Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Administrative Agent, but subject to the consent of the Borrower Representative (in the case of any sale of a participation to a commercial bank having total assets of at least $5,000,000,000, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) so long as no Event of Default under <u>clause (j)</u> of <u>Article VII</u> has occurred and is continuing or, following the expiry of the Standstill Period, no Event of Default under clause <u>(a)</u>, <u>(b)</u> or <u>(c)</u> of <u>Article VII</u> has occurred and is continuing, sell participations to any Person (other than (i) a natural person, (ii) a Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this <u>clause (ii)</u>, (iii) a Prohibited Transferee or, except to the extent the Borrower Representative and, if applicable, CDR LLC have consented to such participation in writing, a Disqualified Party or (iv) a Borrower or any of such Borrower's Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a "<u>Participant</u>") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Term Commitment and/or the Term Loans (including any PIK Amount) owing to it); *provided* that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement.

&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 agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; *provided* that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to the following to the extent directly affecting such Participant: (i) increase the Term Commitment of such Lender; (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Term Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder; (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Term Loan or any fees hereunder or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date for the termination or reduction of any Term Commitment; (iv) change <u>Section 2.19(b)</u> or <u>(c)</u> in a manner that would alter the *pro rata* sharing of payments required thereby; (v) change any of the provisions of <u>Section 9.2(b)</u> or the definition of "Required Lenders" or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders which are required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder; (vi) release a Guarantor under the CDR Guarantee, except as expressly provided herein; or (vii) release all or substantially all Collateral (if any) securing any of the Obligations, except as expressly provided in a Loan Document. Subject to subsection (e) and (h) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of (and shall have the related obligations under) <u>Sections 2.16</u>, <u>2.17</u>, and <u>2.18</u> to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section; *provided* that such Participant agrees to be subject to <u>Section 2.20</u> as though it were a Lender. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of <u>Section 9.7</u> as though it were a Lender; *provided* that such Participant agrees to be subject to <u>Section 2.19</u> as though it were a Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register in the United States on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in the Term Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the "<u>Participant Register</u>"). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent shall have inspection rights to such Participant Register (upon reasonable prior notice to the applicable Lender) solely for purposes of demonstrating that such Term Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents are in "registered form" for purposes of the Code. 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;(h) The Borrowers shall not be obligated to make any greater payment under <u>Sections 2.16</u>, <u>2.17</u> and <u>2.18</u> than they would have been obligated to make in the absence of any participation unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with each Borrower's prior written consent, and each Borrower expressly waives the benefit of this provision at the time of such participation. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of <u>Section 2.18</u> unless each Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of each Borrower, to comply with <u>Section 2.18(e)</u> and <u>2.18(f)</u> as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under <u>Section 2.18(g)</u> shall be delivered to the participating lender).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; *provided* that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) (i) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, if any Lender or Participant at any time is or becomes a Disqualified Party, then for so long as such Lender or Participant shall be a Disqualified Party, the provisions of this Section 9.4(j) shall apply with respect to such Disqualified Party unless the Borrower Representative shall have otherwise expressly consented in writing in its sole discretion (and regardless of whether the Borrower Representative shall have consented to any assignment or participation to such Lender or Participant).

&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 Disqualified Party shall be bound by the provisions of, but shall not have any rights or remedies or be a beneficiary (whether as a Lender, a Participant or otherwise) under or with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Without limiting the foregoing, a Disqualified Party (<u>1</u>) shall not be entitled to and shall have no right to receive any payment in respect of principal (other than with respect to payments of principal on the Stated Maturity Date), interest, fees, costs, expenses or any other amount under or in respect of any Loan Document, and (<u>2</u>) shall be deemed not to be a Secured Party under or in respect of any Loan Document. No fees or interest shall accrue for the account of a Disqualified Party (except solely for interest payable to a permitted assignee thereof following an assignment to such assignee (<u>1</u>) pursuant to and as expressly provided in Section 9.4(b) and (<u>2</u>) pursuant to and as expressly provided in Section 8.4(j)(iv) 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;(iii) No Disqualified Party shall have any right to approve, disapprove or consent to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any term hereof or thereof. In determining whether the requisite Lender or Lenders have consented to any such amendment, supplement, waiver or modification, and in determining the Required Lenders for any purpose under or in respect of any Loan Document, any Lender that is a Disqualified Party (and the Term Loans and/or Term Commitments of such Disqualified Party) shall be excluded and disregarded. Each such amendment, supplement, waiver or modification shall be binding and effective as to each Disqualified Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) The Borrower Representative shall have the right (<u>A</u>) at the sole expense of any Lender that is a Disqualified Party and/or the Person that assigned its Term Commitments and/or Term Loans to such Disqualified Party, to seek to replace or terminate such Disqualified Party as a Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign any or all of its Term Commitments and/or Term Loans and its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees (which may, at the Borrower Representative's sole option, be or include any Borrower or any Subsidiary); *<u>provided</u>* that (<u>1</u>) the Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation to the Borrower Representative to find such a replacement Lender, (<u>2</u>) the Borrower Representative shall not have any obligation to such Disqualified Party or any other Person to find such a replacement Lender or accept or consent to any such assignment to itself or any other Person and (<u>3</u>) the assignee (or, at its option, the Borrower Representative) shall pay to such Disqualified Party concurrently with such assignment an amount (which payment shall be deemed payment in full) equal to the lesser of (<u>x</u>) the face principal amount of the Term Loans so assigned, (<u>y</u>) the amount that such Disqualified Party paid to acquire such Term Commitments and/or Term Loans, and (<u>z</u>) the most recently available quoted price for such Term Commitments and/or Term Loans (as determined by the Parent Borrower in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive, the "<u>Trading Price</u>"), in each case without interest thereon (it being understood that if the effective date of such assignment is not an Interest Payment Date, such assignee shall be entitled to receive on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date interest on the principal amount of the Term Loans so assigned that has accrued and is unpaid from the Interest Payment Date last preceding such effective date (except as may be otherwise agreed between such assignee and the Borrower Representative)), or (<u>B</u>) to prepay any Term Loans held by such Disqualified Party, in whole or in part, by paying an amount (which payment shall be deemed payment in full) equal to the lesser of (<u>x</u>) the face principal amount of the Term Loans so prepaid, (<u>y</u>) the amount that such Disqualified Party paid to acquire such Term Loans, and (<u>z</u>) the Trading Price for such Term Loans (in each case without interest thereon), and if applicable, terminate the Term Commitments of such Disqualified Party, in whole or in part (provided that, in the case of any Disqualified Party pursuant to clause (ii)(c) of the definition thereof, each Participant that has a participation in the Term Commitments and/or Term Loans of such Disqualified Party shall be provided a bona fide and reasonable opportunity to be assigned the Term Commitments and/or Term Loans in accordance with clause (A) above in an aggregate amount equal to no less than the aggregate principal amount of such participation). In connection with any such replacement, (<u>1</u>) if the Disqualified Party does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other documentation necessary or appropriate (in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower Representative, which determination shall be conclusive) to reflect such replacement by the later of (<u>a</u>) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation and (<u>b</u>) the date as of which the Disqualified Party shall be paid by the assignee Lender (or, at its option, the Borrower Representative) the amount required pursuant to <u>Section 9.4(j)iv)(B)</u>, then such Disqualified Party shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Borrower Representative shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Disqualified Party, and the Administrative Agent shall record such assignment in the Register, (<u>2</u>) each Lender (whether or not then a party hereto) agrees to disclose to the Borrower Representative the amount that the applicable Disqualified Party paid to acquire Term Commitments and/or Term Loans from such Lender and (<u>3</u>) each Lender that is a Disqualified Party agrees to disclose to the Borrower Representative the amount it paid to acquire the Term Commitments and/or Term Loans held by it.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) No Disqualified Party (whether as a Lender, a Participant or otherwise) shall have any right to (<u>A</u>) receive any information or material made available to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (<u>B</u>) have access to any Internet or intranet website to which any of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent have access (whether a commercial, third-party or other website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent, any Borrower or otherwise), (<u>C</u>) attend (including by telephone) or otherwise participate in any meeting or discussions (or portions thereof) among or with any of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and/or one or more Lenders, (<u>D</u>) receive any information or material prepared by any Borrower, the Administrative Agent and/or one or more Lenders or (<u>E</u>) receive advice of counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender or challenge their attorney client privilege. Any Disqualified Party shall not solicit or seek to obtain any such information or material. If at any time any Disqualified Party receives or possesses any such information or material, such Disqualified Party shall (<u>1</u>) notify the Borrower Representative as soon as possible that such information or material has become known to it or came into its possession, (<u>2</u>) immediately return to the Borrower Representative or, at the option of the Borrower Representative, destroy (and confirm to the Borrower Representative such destruction) such information or material, together with any notes, analyses, compilations, forecasts, studies or other documents related thereto which it or its advisors prepared and (<u>3</u>) keep such information or material confidential and shall not utilize such information or material for any purpose. Each Lender (whether or not then a party hereto) agrees to notify the Borrower Representative as soon as possible if it becomes aware that (<u>x</u>) it made an assignment to or has a participation with a Disqualified Party or (<u>y</u>) any such Disqualified Party has received any such information of materials.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) The rights and remedies of the Borrower Representative provided herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights and remedies provided to the Borrower Representative or any other Borrower at law or in equity, and each of the Borrower Representative and the Borrowers shall be entitled to pursue any remedy available to it against any Lender that has (or has purported to have) made an assignment or sold or maintained a participation to or with a Disqualified Party or against any Disqualified Party. In no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any prospective assignee pursuant to <u>Section 9.4(b)</u> is a Disqualified Party or have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Term Loans by the Lenders or disclosure of confidential information by the Lenders, in each case, to any Disqualified Party; *<u>provided</u>* that, unless the Borrower Representative and, if applicable, CDR LLC, have expressly consented in writing to an assignment to an applicable Disqualified Party, this sentence shall not relieve the Administrative Agent of any liability arising from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Assignment and Acceptance or any other document, the provisions of this <u>Section 9.4(j)</u> shall apply and survive with respect to each Lender, Participant and Disqualified Party notwithstanding that any such Person may have ceased to be a Lender or Participant (or any purported participation to any such Disqualified Party shall be void) hereunder or this Agreement may have been terminated.

Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

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

**Section 9.19** <u>Judgment Currency</u>. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from a Loan Party hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the "<u>specified currency</u>") into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the applicable Lender could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the applicable Lender's applicable office on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of any Loan Party in respect of any sum due to any Lender hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender in the specified currency, the applicable Loan Party shall, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, indemnify such Lender against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds the total of the sum originally due to such Lender in the specified currency, each such Lender agrees to return the amount of any excess to the applicable Loan Party (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

Common Stock

**(b) Name of Issuer:**
Columbus McKinnon Corporation

**(c) Address of Issuer's Principal Executive Offices:**
13320 Ballantyne Corporate Place, Suite D, Charlotte, NC, 28277

This Statement on Schedule 13D (this "Statement") relates to the Common Shares of Columbus McKinnon Corporation, a New York corporation (the "Issuer"). The Issuer's principal executive offices are located at 13320 Ballantyne Corporate Place, Suite D, Charlotte, NC 28277.

The Reporting Persons (as defined in Item 2(a)-(c)) beneficially own the Preferred Shares.

Each Preferred Share is convertible at the option of the holder, into a number of Common Shares, with the precise number determined by a formula in the Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Issuer (the "Certificate of Amendment"), subject to the Conversion and Vote Limitation.

The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own the Common Shares into which the Preferred Shares are convertible.

**Item 4. Purpose of Transaction**

On February 10, 2025, the Issuer entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") with Kito Crosby Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales ("Kito Crosby"), to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity of Kito Crosby on the terms set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Kito Crosby Acquisition"). On February 10, 2025, in connection with the execution of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Issuer entered into an Investment Agreement (the "Investment Agreement") with CD&R Holdings and Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Fund XII, L.P. (together with its affiliates the "CD&R Investors"), with Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Fund XII, L.P. participating solely for the purpose of limited provisions therein, providing for the purchase by CD&R Holdings of the Preferred Shares in order to partially finance the Kito Crosby Acquisition.

As of the date of this filing, pursuant to the Investment Agreement (as described below in "Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer") and the Certificate of Amendment, the Issuer's board of directors (the "Board") has appointed CD&R Holdings' designees, Michael Lamach, an operating advisor engaged by the funds managed by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC ("CD&R"), Nathan K. Sleeper, the Chief Executive Officer of CD&R, and Andrew Campelli, a partner of CD&R, as directors of the Issuer. In their capacity as directors of the Issuer, Messrs. Lamach, Sleeper and Campelli, or any successor CD&R designees, may take an active role in working with the Issuer's management on operational, financial and strategic initiatives.

Other than as described above or in Item 6, each of the Reporting Persons reports that neither it nor, to its knowledge, any of the other persons named in Item 2 of this Schedule 13D, currently has any plan or proposal which relates to, or may result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D, although each Reporting Person expects to evaluate on an ongoing basis the Issuer's financial condition and prospects and its interest in, and intentions with respect to, a variety of transactions that could create shareholder value, including business combinations, acquisitions and refinancing opportunities. Accordingly, each Reporting Person reserves the right to change its plans and intentions at any time, as it deems appropriate based on any such evaluation.

In particular, each Reporting Person may, subject to the limitations set forth in the Investment Agreement (as described below in "Item 6.

**Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.**

Joint Filing Agreement

A Joint Filing Agreement, dated February 6, 2026, by and among the Reporting Persons has been executed by the Reporting Persons, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Investment Agreement

On February 10, 2025, the Issuer entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Kito Crosby, a company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales, to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity of Kito Crosby on the terms set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement for approximately $2.7 billion subject to customary purchase price adjustments. On February 10, 2025, in connection with the execution of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Issuer entered into an Investment Agreement with CD&R Holdings and Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Fund XII, L.P., providing for the purchase by CD&R Holdings of the Preferred Shares in order to partially finance the Kito Crosby Acquisition.

The Preferred Shares are convertible perpetual participating preferred stock of the Issuer, with an initial conversion price of $37.68 per share, and accrue dividends at a rate of 7.0% per annum, compounded quarterly (as described in the Certificate of Amendment). Upon the occurrence of a "Triggering Event" (as defined in the Certificate of Amendment), the dividend rate shall increase to 10.0% per annum for so long as the Triggering Event remains in effect.

The Preferred Shares may be converted to Common Shares at the option of the holder. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, upon the closing of the Kito Crosby Acquisition on February 3, 2026 (the "Closing Date"), CD&R Holdings purchased 800,000 Preferred Shares at a purchase price of $1,000 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $800,000,000. On the Closing Date, the aggregate number of Common Shares into which the Preferred Shares were initially convertible was 21,231,422 Common Shares based on the initial conversion price, representing approximately 42.5% of the Issuer's outstanding Common Shares (as of October 28, 2025 on an as-converted basis). The conversion price of the Preferred Shares is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, including in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar event. In addition, the Issuer may, at its option, require conversion of all (but not less than all) of the outstanding Preferred Shares to Common Shares at any time the closing price of the Common Shares exceeds 200% of the then-effective conversion price for at least 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days, subject to the satisfaction of certain liquidity requirements and the effectiveness of a shelf registration statement (as defined in the Certificate of Amendment).

Pursuant to the Certificate of Amendment, unless agreed to by the Issuer, no holder of Preferred Shares is permitted to vote or convert Preferred Shares to the extent such vote or conversion would otherwise result in such holder and its affiliates (based on the aggregate Common Shares and Preferred Shares held by them) having the right to vote more than 45% of the votes held by all shareholders of the Issuer at any given time. The limitations described in the foregoing sentences are called the "Conversion and Vote Limitation".

Subject to the Conversion and Vote Limitation, holders of the Preferred Shares generally are entitled to vote with the holders of Common Shares on all matters submitted for a vote of holders of Common Shares (voting together with the holders of Common Shares as one class). Certain matters require the approval of the holders of a majority of the Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class, including, without limitation, (i) amendments or modifications to the Issuer's charter, by-laws or the Certificate of Amendment that would adversely affect the Preferred Shares, (ii) entry into any merger, reorganization or other consolidation or business consideration that would treat the Preferred Shares in a manner inconsistent with the terms of the Certificate of Amendment, (iii) authorization, creation, increase in the authorized amount of, or issuance of any senior or parity equity securities or any equity securities that do not constitute junior securities relative to the Preferred Shares, (iv) authorization, creation, increase in the authorized amount of, or issuance of any class of securities other than Common Shares or any security convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for the forgoing, that could have the "result of the receipt of property by some shareholders" within the meaning of Section 305(b)(2)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (v) any increase or decrease in the authorized number of Preferred Shares or the issuance of additional Preferred Shares, (vi) amendments to the Issuer's debt agreements that would, among other things, adversely affect the Issuer's ability to pay dividends on the Preferred Shares in accordance with the Certificate of Amendment, subject to certain exceptions, and (vii) adoption of any plan of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Issuer or filing of any voluntary petition for bankruptcy, receivership or any similar proceeding.

The Preferred Shares rank senior to the Common Shares with respect to rights on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution.

For so long as the CD&R Investors hold Preferred Shares (or Common Shares issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares) representing at least 25% of the Preferred Shares initially issued to the CD&R Investors on the Closing Date, the CD&R Investors have customary preemptive rights to participate in future equity and equity-linked issuances by the Issuer to the extent necessary to maintain their pro rata ownership percentage in the Issuer, subject to customary exceptions.

The Investment Agreement further provides that, without the prior written approval of the Board, the CD&R Investors are subject to certain standstill provisions that restrict them from, among other things, acquiring additional equity securities of the Issuer, beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the later of (x) the second anniversary of the Closing Date and (y) 6 months after the date on which there is no longer a designee of CD&R Holdings serving on the Board and CD&R Holdings no longer has the right to have a designee on the Issuer's Board.

Subject to certain exceptions, the CD&R Investors are restricted from transferring to a non-affiliate the Preferred Shares or any Common Shares received upon conversion thereof until the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) the date on which the Issuer exercises its conversion option or provides notice to exercise its an optional redemption right pursuant to the Certificate of Amendment. The CD&R Investors are also restricted at any time from transferring the Preferred Shares initially issued to CD&R Holdings or any Common Shares received upon conversion thereof to certain prohibited transferees, including persons who, without giving effect to such transfer, beneficially own five percent (5%) or more of the total voting power of the equity securities of the Issuer, certain specified competitors of the Issuer and certain potential activist investors, in each case, subject to specified exceptions.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Investment Agreement, the Issuer entered into a registration rights agreement with CD&R Holdings (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), pursuant to which the Issuer has agreed to file a resale shelf registration statement for the benefit of CD&R Holdings and its permitted transferees, and pursuant to which CD&R Holdings may, subject to any restrictions on transfer imposed by the Investment Agreement, request that the Issuer conduct an underwritten offering of, or register, any Common Shares or Preferred Shares held by CD&R Holdings, including any Common Shares received upon conversion of Preferred Shares held by CD&R Holdings and eligible for registration thereunder ("registrable securities"). The CD&R Stockholders also have customary piggyback registration rights and may request that the Issuer include their registrable securities in certain future registration statements or offerings of Common Shares by the Issuer. These registration rights will terminate when the CD&R Stockholders no longer own any registrable securities.

Term Loan Agreement

In connection with, and to indirectly finance the costs of, the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement, CD&R Holdings entered into a term loan agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto, pursuant to which CD&R Holdings borrowed $640,000,000 (the "Term Loan"). The Term Loan is secured by, among other things, the Preferred Shares acquired pursuant to the Investment Agreement (and any Common Shares issued upon conversion thereof). In addition, CD&R Holdings' obligations under the Term Loan are guaranteed by funds affiliated with CD&R, which collectively hold substantially all of the economic interests in CD&R Holdings.

The foregoing descriptions of the Investment Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Term Loan do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the full text of each of such agreements, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.2, 99.3 and 99.4.
