**PART I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION**

**ITEM 1 — CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**INTRODUCTION TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

We have prepared the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Lear Corporation and subsidiaries pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. We believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The financial information presented reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, cash flows and financial position for the interim periods presented. These results are not necessarily indicative of a full year's results of operations.

**NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(1) Basis of Presentation** 

Lear Corporation ("Lear," and together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company") and its affiliates design, develop, engineer and manufacture complete seat systems, key seat components, complete electrical distribution and connection systems, high-voltage power distribution products, including battery disconnect units ("BDUs"), low-voltage power distribution products and electronic controllers. The Company's main customers are automotive original equipment manufacturers. The Company operates facilities worldwide.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lear, a Delaware corporation, and the wholly-owned and less than wholly-owned subsidiaries controlled by Lear. In addition, Lear consolidates all entities, including variable interest entities, in which it has a controlling financial interest. Investments in affiliates in which Lear does not have control, but does have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for under the equity method.

The Company's annual financial results are reported on a calendar year basis, and quarterly interim results are reported using a thirteen week reporting calendar.

**(2) Restructuring**

Restructuring costs include employee termination benefits, asset impairment charges and contract termination costs, as well as other incremental net costs resulting from the restructuring actions. Employee termination benefits are recorded based on existing union and employee contracts, statutory requirements, completed negotiations and Company policy. Other incremental net costs principally include equipment and personnel relocation costs and gains and losses on the sales of facilities. In addition to restructuring costs, the Company also incurs incremental manufacturing inefficiency costs at the operating locations impacted by the restructuring actions during the related restructuring implementation period. Restructuring costs are recognized in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Generally, charges are recorded as restructuring actions are approved, communicated and/or implemented.

**(4) Pre-Production Costs Related to Long-Term Supply Agreements**

The Company incurs pre-production engineering and development ("E&D") and tooling costs related to the products produced for its customers under long-term supply agreements. The Company expenses all pre-production E&D costs for which reimbursement is not contractually guaranteed by the customer. In addition, the Company expenses all pre-production tooling costs related to customer-owned tools for which reimbursement is not contractually guaranteed by the customer or for which the Company does not have a non-cancelable right to use the tooling.

During the first six months of 2025 and 2024, the Company capitalized $134.0 million and $115.4 million, respectively, of pre-production E&D costs for which reimbursement is contractually guaranteed by the customer. During the first six months of 2025 and 2024, the Company also capitalized $55.4 million and $78.3 million, respectively, of pre-production tooling costs related to customer-owned tools for which reimbursement is contractually guaranteed by the customer or for which the Company has a non-cancelable right to use the tooling.

**(5) Long-Lived Assets**

*Property, Plant and Equipment*

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Costs associated with the repair and maintenance of the Company's property, plant and equipment are expensed as incurred. Costs associated with improvements which extend the life, increase the capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the Company's property, plant and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset. Depreciable property is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets, using principally the straight-line method.

A summary of property, plant and equipment is shown below (in millions):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **June 28,<br>2025** | **December 31,<br>2024** |
| Land | $103.0 | $98.6 |
| Buildings and improvements | 937.4 | 898.3 |
| Machinery and equipment | 5895.1 | 5485.2 |
| Construction in progress | 367.6 | 335.8 |
| Total property, plant and equipment | 7303.1 | 6817.9 |
| Less – accumulated depreciation | (4384.3) | (3984.5) |
| Property, plant and equipment, net | $2918.8 | $2833.4 |

---

Depreciation expense was $143.5 million and $141.2 million in the three months ended June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, respectively, and $286.0 million and $281.4 million in the six months ended June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, respectively.

The Company monitors its long-lived assets for impairment indicators on an ongoing basis in accordance with GAAP. If impairment indicators exist, the Company performs the required impairment analysis by comparing the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the long-lived assets to the related net book values. If the net book value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the difference between the net book value and the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value estimates of long-lived assets are based on independent appraisals or discounted cash flows, giving consideration to the highest and best use of the assets. Key assumptions used in the appraisals are based on a combination of market and cost approaches, as appropriate.

In the first six months of 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized property, plant and equipment impairment charges of $3.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively, in conjunction with its restructuring actions (Note 2, "Restructuring"). In the first six months of 2024, the Company recognized additional property, plant and equipment impairment charges of $3.9 million. The impairment charges are included in cost of sales in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

As of December 31, 2024, $42.0 million of the assets held for sale were in connection with the then-pending disposal of a non-core business in the Company's Seating segment. The sale was completed in the first quarter of 2025. Accordingly, the assets classified as held from sale have been removed from the balance sheet as of June 28, 2025.

In the six months ended June 28, 2025, an incremental loss of $3.3 million on the disposal of the non-core business was recognized to reflect adjustments to the carrying values of the assets and transaction expenses. The loss is included in other expense, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the six months ended June 28, 2025. Proceeds from the sale of $35.9 million are included in cash flows from investing activities in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

**(6) Goodwill**

A summary of the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill, by operating segment, in the six months ended June 28, 2025, is shown below (in millions):

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Seating** | **E-Systems** | **Total** |
| Balance at January 1, 2025 | $1305.9 | $393.3 | $1699.2 |

Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on at least an annual basis. Impairment testing is required more often than annually if an event or circumstance indicates that an impairment is more likely than not to have occurred. In conducting its annual impairment testing, the Company may first perform a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying amount. If not, no further goodwill impairment testing is required. If it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying amount, or if the Company elects not to perform a qualitative assessment of a reporting unit, the Company then compares the fair value of the reporting unit to the related net book value. If the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. The annual goodwill impairment assessment is completed as of the first day of the Company's fourth quarter.

There was no impairment of goodwill in the first six months of 2025 and 2024. The Company will, however, continue to assess the impact of significant industry and other events on its recorded goodwill.

**(10) Revenue Recognition**

The Company enters into contracts with its customers to provide production parts generally at the beginning of a vehicle's life cycle. Typically, these contracts do not provide for a specified quantity of products, but once entered into, the Company is often expected to fulfill its customers' purchasing requirements for the production life of the vehicle. Many of these contracts may be terminated by the Company's customers at any time. Historically, terminations of these contracts have been infrequent. The Company receives purchase orders from its customers, which provide the commercial terms for a particular production part, including price (but not quantities). Contracts may also provide for annual price reductions over the production life of the vehicle, and prices may be adjusted on an ongoing basis to reflect changes in product content/cost and other commercial factors.

Revenue is recognized at a point in time when control of the product is transferred to the customer under standard commercial terms, as the Company does not have an enforceable right to payment prior to such transfer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products based on the current purchase orders, annual price reductions and ongoing price adjustments. In the first six months of 2025 and 2024, revenue recognized related to prior years represented approximately 1% of consolidated net sales. The Company's customers pay for products received in accordance with payment terms that are customary within the industry. The Company's contracts with its customers do not have significant financing components.

The Company records a contract liability for advances received from its customers. As of June 28, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no significant contract liabilities recorded. Further, in the first six months of 2025 and 2024, there were no significant contract liabilities recognized in revenue.

Amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling costs are included in net sales in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Shipping and handling costs are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction that are collected by the Company from a customer are excluded from revenue.

The Company's provision for income taxes is impacted by the level and mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions. In addition, the Company recognized discrete tax benefits (expense) on the significant items shown below (in millions):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Six Months Ended** | **Six Months Ended** |
| | **June 28,<br>2025** | **June 29,<br>2024** |
| Restructuring charges and various other items | $22.9 | $20.2 |
| Tax reserves and audit settlements | 3.4 | 3.3 |
| Share-based compensation | (1.5) | (0.4) |
| Valuation allowances on deferred tax assets | (0.6) |  |
|  | $24.2 | $23.1 |

---

Excluding the items above, the effective tax rate for the first six months of 2025 and 2024 approximated the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21%, adjusted for income taxes on foreign earnings, losses and remittances, valuation allowances, tax credits, income tax incentives and other permanent items.

The Company's current and future provision for income taxes is impacted by the initial recognition of and changes in valuation allowances in certain countries. The Company intends to maintain these allowances until it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company's future provision for income taxes will include no tax benefit with respect to losses incurred and, except for certain jurisdictions, no tax expense with respect to income generated in these countries until the respective valuation allowances are eliminated. Accordingly, income taxes are impacted by changes in valuation allowances and the mix of earnings among jurisdictions. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. In completing this evaluation, the Company considers all available evidence in order to determine whether, based on the weight of the evidence, a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets is necessary. Such evidence includes historical results, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and expectations for future taxable income (exclusive of the reversal of temporary differences and carryforwards), as well as the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. If,

**(Continued)**

based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the Company's deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded. If operating results improve or decline on a continual basis in a particular jurisdiction, the Company's decision regarding the need for a valuation allowance could change, resulting in either the initial recognition or reversal of a valuation allowance in that jurisdiction, which could have a significant impact on income tax expense in the period recognized and subsequent periods. In determining the provision for income taxes for financial statement purposes, the Company makes certain estimates and judgments, which affect its evaluation of the carrying value of its deferred tax assets, as well as its calculation of certain tax liabilities.

*2025 Budget Reconciliation Bill* 

On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "Act"). The Act includes a broad range of tax reform provisions, including extending and modifying various provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and expanding certain incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act while accelerating the phase-out of other incentives. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and other provisions effective in 2026 and subsequent years. The Company is evaluating the potential impacts of the Act on its consolidated financial statements.

For further information related to the Company's income taxes, see Note 8, "Income Taxes," to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

**(13) Net Income Per Share Attributable to Lear** 

Basic net income per share attributable to Lear is computed by dividing net income attributable to Lear by the average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Common shares issuable upon the satisfaction of certain conditions pursuant to a contractual agreement are considered common shares outstanding and are included in the computation of basic net income per share attributable to Lear.

Diluted net income per share attributable to Lear is computed using the treasury stock method by dividing net income attributable to Lear by the average number of common shares outstanding, including the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents using the average share price during the period.

*Lear Corporation Shareholders' Equity*

<u>Common Stock Share Repurchase Program</u>

The Company may implement share repurchases through a variety of methods, including, but not limited to, open market purchases, accelerated stock repurchase programs and structured repurchase transactions. The extent to which the Company may repurchase its outstanding common stock and the timing of such repurchases will depend upon its financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors.

The Company has a common stock share repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program") which permits the discretionary repurchase of its common stock. Since the inception of the Repurchase Program in the first quarter of 2011, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") has authorized $6.7 billion in share repurchases. As of June 28, 2025, the Company has repurchased, in aggregate, $5.6 billion of its outstanding common stock, at an average price of $94.53 per share, excluding

**(15) Legal and Other Contingencies** 

As of June 28, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had recorded reserves for pending legal disputes, including commercial disputes, product liability claims and other legal matters of $14.2 million and $13.2 million, respectively. Such reserves reflect amounts recognized in accordance with GAAP and typically exclude the cost of legal representation. Reserves for warranty and recall matters are recorded separately from legal reserves, as described below.

*Commercial Disputes*

The Company is involved from time to time in legal proceedings and claims, including, without limitation, commercial or contractual disputes with its customers, suppliers and competitors. These disputes vary in nature and are usually resolved by negotiations between the parties.

*Product Liability, Warranty and Recall Matters*

In the event that use of the Company's products results in, or is alleged to result in, bodily injury and/or property damage or other losses, the Company may be subject to product liability lawsuits and other claims. Such lawsuits generally seek compensatory damages, punitive damages and attorneys' fees and costs. In addition, if any of the Company's products are, or are alleged to be, defective, the Company may be required or requested by its customers to support warranty costs or to participate in a recall or other corrective action involving such products. The Company is party to agreements with certain of its customers, whereby these customers may pursue claims against the Company for contribution of all or a portion of the amounts sought in connection with warranty and recall matters, and certain of the Company's customers have asserted such claims against the Company. The Company can provide no assurances that it will not experience material claims in the future or that it will not incur significant costs to defend such claims.

**LEAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(Continued)**

In certain instances, allegedly defective products may be supplied by the Company's suppliers. The Company may seek recovery from its suppliers of materials or services included within the Company's products that are associated with product liability claims or warranty and recall matters.

The Company carries insurance for certain legal matters, including product liability claims, but such coverage may be limited. The Company does not maintain insurance for warranty and recall matters.

The Company records reserves for warranty and recall matters when liability is probable and related amounts are reasonably estimable.

A summary of the changes in reserves for warranty and recall matters in the six months ended June 28, 2025, is shown below (in millions):

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Foreign currency translation and other | 1.9 |
| Balance at June 28, 2025 | $30.9 |

---

*Environmental Matters*

The Company is subject to local, state, federal and foreign laws, regulations and ordinances which govern activities or operations that may have or have had adverse environmental effects. These regulations impose liability for clean-up costs resulting from past spills, disposals or other releases of hazardous wastes and environmental compliance. The Company's policy is to comply with all applicable environmental laws and to maintain an environmental management program based on ISO 14001 to ensure compliance with this standard. However, the Company currently is, has been and in the future may become, the subject of formal or informal enforcement actions or procedures.

As of June 28, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had recorded environmental reserves of $4.9 million. The Company does not believe that the environmental liabilities associated with its current and former properties will have a material adverse impact on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows; however, no assurances can be given in this regard.

*Other Matters*

The Company is involved from time to time in various other legal proceedings and claims, including, without limitation, intellectual property matters, tax claims and employment matters. Although the outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe that any of the other legal proceedings or claims in which the Company is currently involved, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse impact on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, no assurances can be given in this regard.

Although the Company records reserves for legal disputes, warranty and recall matters, and environmental and other matters in accordance with GAAP, the ultimate outcomes of these matters are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ significantly from current estimates.

**(16) Segment Reporting** 

The Company is organized under two reportable operating segments: Seating and E-Systems. Each of these segments has a varied product and technology portfolio across a number of component categories. Further, the Company continuously evaluates this portfolio, aligning it with industry trends while balancing risk-adjusted returns, which allows the Company to offer value-added solutions to its customers.

Our Seating segment consists of the design, development, engineering and manufacture of complete seat systems and key seat components. The Company's capabilities in operations and supply chain management enable synchronized assembly and just-in-time delivery of complex complete seat systems at high volumes to its customers. Key seat components include seat trim covers; surface materials such as leather and fabric; seat mechanisms; seat foam; headrests; and thermal comfort systems such as seat heating, ventilation, active cooling, pneumatic lumbar and massage products. All of these products are compatible with

**(Continued)**

traditional internal combustion engine ("ICE") architectures and electrified powertrains, including the full range of hybrid, plug-in hybrid and battery electric architectures.

Our E-Systems segment consists of the design, development, engineering and manufacture of complete electrical distribution and connection systems; high-voltage power distribution products, including battery disconnect units ("BDUs"); and low-voltage power distribution products and electronic controllers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Electrical distribution and connection systems utilize low-voltage and high-voltage wire, high-speed data cables and flat wiring to connect networks and electrical signals and manage electrical power within the vehicle for all types of powertrains – from traditional ICE architectures to the full range of electrified powertrains that require management of higher voltage and power. Key components of the Company's electrical distribution and connection systems portfolio include wire harnesses, terminals and connectors, high-voltage battery connection systems and engineered components.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• High-voltage battery connection systems include intercell connect boards, bus bars and main battery connection systems. High-voltage power distribution products control the flow and distribution of high-voltage power throughout electrified vehicles and include BDUs which control all electrical energy flowing into and out of high-voltage batteries in electrified vehicles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Low-voltage power distribution products and electronic controllers facilitate signal, data and/or power management within the vehicle and include the associated software required to facilitate these functions. Key components of this portfolio include zonal controllers, body domain control modules and low-voltage and high-voltage power distribution modules. The Company's software offerings include embedded control, cybersecurity software and software to control hardware devices. The Company's customers traditionally have sourced the Company's electronic hardware together with the software that the Company integrates and embeds in it.

The other category includes unallocated costs related to corporate headquarters, regional headquarters and the elimination of intercompany activities, including intersegment revenues and cost of sales, none of which meets the requirements for being classified as an operating segment. Corporate and regional headquarters costs include various support functions, such as information technology, advanced research and development, corporate finance, legal, executive administration and human resources. Such costs are reflected in the operating segment results to the extent they are directly attributable to an operating segment.

The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is Raymond E. Scott, President and Chief Executive Officer. Each of the Company's operating segments reports its results from operations and makes its requests for capital expenditures directly to the CODM. The CODM assesses the operating performance of each segment based on segment earnings (as defined below), which is driven primarily by automotive production volumes in the geographic regions in which it operates, as well as by the success of the vehicle platforms for which it supplies products. Also, each operating segment operates in the competitive Tier 1 automotive supplier environment and is continually working with its customers to manage costs and improve quality. The Company's production processes generally make use of an hourly workforce, dedicated facilities, sequential manufacturing and assembly processes and commodity raw materials.

The CODM evaluates the performance of its operating segments based primarily on (i) revenues from external customers, (ii) pretax income before equity in net income of affiliates, interest expense, net and other expense, net ("segment earnings") and (iii) cash flows, being defined as segment earnings less capital expenditures plus depreciation and amortization.

The accounting policies of the Company's operating segments are the same as those described in this note to the consolidated financial statements.

*Accounts Receivable*

The Company's allowance for credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, primarily accounts receivable, reflects management's estimate of credit losses over the remaining expected life of such assets, measured primarily using historical experience, as well as current conditions and forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Expected credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as changes to expected credit losses during the period, are recognized in earnings. The Company also considers geographic and segment specific risk factors in the development of expected credit losses. As of June 28, 2025 and December 31, 2024, accounts receivable are reflected net of reserves of $28.6 million and $27.3 million, respectively. Changes in expected credit losses were not significant in the first six months of 2025.

*Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities*

The Company has used derivative financial instruments, including forwards, futures, options, swaps and other derivative contracts, to reduce the effects of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates and the resulting variability of the Company's operating results. The Company is not a party to leveraged derivatives. The Company's derivative financial instruments are subject to master arrangements that provide for the net settlement of contracts, by counterparty, in the event of default or termination. On the date that a derivative contract for a hedge instrument is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as either (1) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (a fair value hedge), (2) a hedge of the exposure of a forecasted transaction or of the variability in the cash flows of a recognized asset or liability (a cash flow hedge), (3) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation (a net investment hedge) or (4) a contract not designated as a hedge instrument.

For a fair value hedge, the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in earnings and reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) on the same line as the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. For a cash flow hedge, the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. When the underlying hedged transaction is realized, the gain or loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss is recorded in earnings and reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) on the same line as the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. For a net investment hedge, the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in cumulative translation adjustment, which is a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. When the related currency translation adjustment is required to be reclassified, usually upon the sale or liquidation of the investment, the gain or loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss is recorded in earnings and reflected in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Changes in the fair value of contracts not designated as hedge instruments are recorded in earnings and reflected in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Cash flows attributable to derivatives used to manage foreign currency risks are classified on the same line as the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Upon settlement, cash flows attributable to derivatives designated as net investment hedges are classified as investing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Cash flows attributable to forward starting interest rate swaps are classified as financing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including the identification of the hedge instruments and the related hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. Derivatives are recorded at fair value in other current and long-term assets and other current and long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company also formally assesses whether a derivative used in a hedge transaction is highly effective in offsetting changes in either the fair value or the cash flows of the hedged item. When it is determined that a hedged transaction is no longer probable to occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting.

<u>Foreign Exchange</u>

The Company uses forwards, swaps and other derivative contracts to reduce the effects of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on known foreign currency exposures. Gains and losses on the derivative instruments are intended to offset gains and losses on the hedged transaction in an effort to reduce exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The principal currencies hedged by the Company include the Mexican peso, various European currencies and the Moroccan dirham.

Foreign currency derivative contracts not designated as hedging instruments consist principally of hedges of cash transactions, intercompany loans and certain other balance sheet exposures.

<u>Net Investment Hedges</u>

The Company uses cross-currency interest rate swaps, which are designated as net investment hedges of the foreign currency rate exposure of its investment in certain Euro-denominated subsidiaries. In the six months ended June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, contra interest expense on net investment hedges of $1.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively, is included in interest expense, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

*Fair Value Measurements*

GAAP provides that fair value is an exit price, defined as a market-based measurement that represents the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value measurements are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| *Market:* | This approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. |
| *Income*:  | This approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount based on current market expectations. |
| *Cost:* | This approach is based on the amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). |

---

Further, GAAP prioritizes the inputs and assumptions used in the valuation techniques described above into a three-tier fair value hierarchy as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| *Level 1:* | Observable inputs, such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date. |
| *Level 2:* | Inputs, other than quoted market prices included in Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly for the asset or liability. |
| *Level 3:* | Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity's own assumptions about the exit price of the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs may be used if there is little or no market data for the asset or liability at the measurement date. |

---

The Company determines the fair value of its derivative contracts using quoted market prices to calculate the forward values and then discounts such forward values to the present value. The discount rates used are based on quoted bank deposit or swap interest rates. If a derivative contract is in a net liability position, the Company adjusts these discount rates, if required, by an estimate of the credit spread that would be applied by market participants purchasing these contracts from the Company's counterparties. If an estimate of the credit spread is required, the Company uses significant assumptions and factors other than quoted market rates, which would result in the classification of its derivative liabilities within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. As of June 28, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no derivative contracts that were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy in the first six months of 2025.

<u>Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis</u>

The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis, which are not included in the table above. As these non-recurring fair value measurements are generally determined using unobservable inputs, these fair value measurements are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

In the six months ended June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, the Company completed impairment assessments and recorded related impairment charges of $3.9 million and $5.4 million, respectively, related to its property, plant and equipment and $0.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively, related to its right-of-use assets. The fair value estimates of the related assets were based on management's estimates using a discounted cash flow method.

As of June 28, 2025, there were no additional significant assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Our business is organized under two reporting segments: Seating and E-Systems. Each of these segments has a varied product and technology portfolio across a number of component categories. Further, we continuously evaluate this portfolio, aligning it with industry trends while balancing risk-adjusted returns, which allows us to offer value-added solutions to our customers.

Our Seating business consists of the design, development, engineering and manufacture of complete seat systems and key seat components. Our capabilities in operations and supply chain management enable synchronized assembly and just-in-time delivery of complex complete seat systems at high volumes to our customers. As the most vertically integrated global seat supplier, our key seat component product offerings include seat trim covers; surface materials such as leather and fabric; seat mechanisms; seat foam; headrests; and thermal comfort systems such as seat heating, ventilation, active cooling, pneumatic lumbar and massage products. All of these products are compatible with traditional internal combustion engine ("ICE") architectures and electrified powertrains, including the full range of hybrid, plug-in hybrid and battery electric architectures. Our thermal comfort systems are facilitated by our seat system, component and integration capabilities, together with our competencies in electronics, sensors, software and algorithms.

Our E-Systems business consists of the design, development, engineering and manufacture of complete electrical distribution and connection systems; high-voltage power distribution products, including BDUs; and low-voltage power distribution products and electronic controllers. These capabilities enable us to provide our customers with customizable solutions with optimized designs at competitive costs for both low-voltage and high-voltage vehicle architectures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Electrical distribution and connection systems utilize low-voltage and high-voltage wire, high-speed data cables and flat wiring to connect networks and electrical signals and manage electrical power within the vehicle for all types of powertrains – from traditional ICE architectures to the full range of electrified powertrains that require management of higher voltage and power. Key components of our electrical distribution and connection systems portfolio include wire harnesses, terminals and connectors, high-voltage battery connection systems and engineered components.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• High-voltage battery connection systems include intercell connect boards, bus bars and main battery connection systems. High-voltage power distribution products control the flow and distribution of high-voltage power throughout electrified vehicles and include BDUs which control all electrical energy flowing into and out of high-voltage batteries in electrified vehicles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Low-voltage power distribution products and electronic controllers facilitate signal, data and/or power management within the vehicle and include the associated software required to facilitate these functions. Key components of this portfolio include zonal controllers, body domain control modules and low-voltage and high-voltage power distribution modules. Our software offerings include embedded control, cybersecurity software and software to control hardware devices. Our customers traditionally have sourced our electronic hardware together with the software that we integrate and embed in it.

We serve all of the world's major automotive manufacturers through both our Seating and E-Systems businesses, and we have automotive content on more than 480 vehicle nameplates worldwide. It is common for us to have both seating and electrical and/or electronic content on the same vehicle platform.

*Industry Overview*

We supply all vehicle segments of the automotive light vehicle original equipment market in every major automotive producing region in the world. Our sales are driven by the number of vehicles produced by the automotive manufacturers and our content per vehicle. Due to the interconnectedness of the global economy, policy changes in one area of the world can have an immediate and material impact on markets around the world.

Since his inauguration in January 2025, U.S. President Donald J. Trump has announced various tariffs that impact industries around the world, including the automotive industry. As of the date of this Report, the tariffs announced by the current U.S. administration that could adversely impact our business include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 25% tariff on imports of automobiles and certain automobile parts into the United States from all countries (with respect to automotive parts, the "Automobile Parts Tariff"). Automobile parts that meet specific rules of origin under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement ("USMCA" and "USMCA-qualifying") are currently exempt from the Automobile Parts Tariff; however, this exemption could be modified in the future to include only the U.S. content of USMCA-qualifying automobile parts. The U.S. administration has been negotiating agreements with several countries. It has reached an agreement with the United Kingdom and announced an agreement with Japan that include reductions in the Automobile Parts Tariff to 10% and 15%, respectively.

**LEAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 50% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports into the United States from all countries (the "Steel/Aluminum Tariff"). The Steel/Aluminum Tariff does not apply to goods subject to the Automobile Parts Tariff. This tariff was increased from 25% to 50% effective June 4, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 25% tariff on all imports into the United States from Mexico and Canada except for USMCA-qualifying goods (the "Mexico/Canada Tariff"). The Mexico/Canada Tariff does not apply to goods subject to the Automobile Parts Tariff or the Steel/Aluminum Tariff. On July 10, 2025, President Trump announced a 35% tariff on all imports into the United States from Canada effective August 1, 2025, and on July 12, 2025, announced a 30% tariff on all imports into the United States from Mexico. Although the exception for USMCA-qualifying goods is expected to remain in place, this has not yet been confirmed by the current U.S. administration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Incremental 20% tariff on all imports into the United States from China (the "China Tariff").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 10% tariff on all imports into the United States from all countries that are not subject to the Automobile Parts, Mexico/Canada or Steel/Aluminum Tariffs. Country-specific tariffs were to replace the 10% tariffs effective April 9, 2025, but are currently paused, with the exception of China, until August 1, 2025 (the "Reciprocal Tariffs"). The China Reciprocal Tariff of 125% was reduced to 10% effective May 14, 2025 through August 12, 2025, and is additive to the China Tariff discussed above. On July 12, 2025, President Trump announced a 30% tariff on all imports into the United States from the European Union effective August 1, 2025. In addition, various country-specific proposals and agreements have been or are being negotiated directly with the affected countries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 50% tariff on copper imports into the United States effective August 1, 2025. The scope of this tariff has not yet been confirmed by the current U.S. administration (the "Copper Tariff").

Although U.S. tariffs did not have a material impact on our operating performance in the first six months of 2025, the impact of the tariffs noted above could adversely affect our future financial condition and operating results if implemented and absent recovery of such costs from our customers or success of other mitigating actions.

The vast majority of products in both our Seating and E-Systems businesses are USMCA-qualifying and therefore are currently exempt from the Mexico/Canada Tariff. Further, the vast majority of products in our Seating business are not currently subject to the Automobile Parts Tariff. However, the Automobile Parts Tariff does apply to the wire harnesses we assemble in our E-Systems business and import into the United States. While the wire harnesses we import from Mexico are USMCA-qualifying and currently exempt from the Automobile Parts Tariff, the wire harnesses we import from Honduras are subject to such tariff, which materially impacts cost of sales in our E-Systems business. Moreover, if the exemption under the Automobile Parts Tariff is modified to include only the U.S. content of USMCA-qualifying goods, this tariff also could materially impact cost of sales in our E-Systems business with respect to wire harnesses we import from Mexico. Although a less substantial impact than the Automobile Parts Tariff, the Mexico/Canada, Steel/Aluminum, China, Reciprocal and Copper Tariffs could impact our cost of sales relating to certain non-USMCA-qualifying goods imported from Mexico, small steel and aluminum parts imported globally, goods imported from China, goods subject to Reciprocal Tariffs and copper imports subject to the Copper Tariff. In addition to these impacts on our cost of sales, the aforementioned tariffs, separately or in the aggregate, could materially impact our net sales and other aspects of our financial performance, if they negatively impact vehicle production volumes or result in disruptions in the supply chain, including disruptions with respect to our customers or suppliers.

The actual impact of these tariffs on our business, financial condition and results of operations is subject to a number of factors that are not yet known or are subject to change, including the effect such tariffs may have on consumer demand and global automotive production volumes, the effective dates and duration of such tariffs, future changes in the amounts and scope of such tariffs, the potential withdrawal of such tariffs in whole or in part, the scope and effective date of any exemptions to such tariffs, any modification to existing exemptions to the tariffs, countermeasures that the target countries may take in response to such tariffs, and the impact such tariffs may have on our customers and our supply chain. We have entered into contractual agreements with our customers to recover substantially all tariff costs incurred to date and are implementing certain actions, and considering others, to counter the potential impact of such tariffs on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including, without limitation, participating in efforts to inform the U.S. and certain foreign administrations and legislatures of the impact of current trade and tariff policies on the automotive industry and evaluating our production footprint and alternatives in our supply chain. However, we can provide no assurance that we will continue to be successful in recovering such costs from our customers or that any of these mitigating actions will be successful or will not disrupt and deteriorate our business, operations and financial performance.

For risks related to tariffs, see Part II — Item 1A, "Risk Factors," included in this Report and Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

**LEAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES**

Although industry production returned to pre-pandemic levels in 2023, industry production in 2024 remained approximately 5% below 2017 peak levels, and 2024 industry production levels in North America and Europe, our two largest markets, remained approximately 9% and 23%, respectively, below prior peak levels. Industry production in 2025 is expected to be flat as compared to 2024 (based on July 2025 S&P Global Mobility projections). Since 2020, the global economy, as well as the automotive industry, have been influenced directly and indirectly by macroeconomic events resulting in unfavorable conditions, including increases in tariffs, shortages of semiconductor chips and other components, elevated inflation levels on commodities and labor, higher interest rates, and labor and energy shortages in certain markets. Certain of these factors, among others, continue to impact consumer demand. Our strategy to mitigate these impacts encompasses our comprehensive cost management process, including cost technology optimization, actions to further align our manufacturing capacity to the current industry production environment and investments in automation and other advanced manufacturing technologies, as well as commercial recovery mechanisms. This will allow us to enhance operational efficiencies, improve the utilization of existing facilities and equipment to reduce future expenditures, and streamline administrative functions.

For a description of related risks, see Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Global automotive industry production volumes in the first six months of 2025, as compared to the first six months of 2024, are shown below (in thousands of units):

<sup>(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup>Production data based on S&P Global Mobility

<sup>(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup>Production data for 2024 has been updated from our second quarter 2024 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect actual production levels

Automotive sales and production can also be affected by the age of the vehicle fleet and related scrappage rates, labor relations issues, labor shortages, fuel prices, regulatory requirements, government initiatives and incentives, trade agreements, tariffs and other non-tariff trade barriers (including recent U.S. tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed on Mexico, Canada and China, as well as other countries and any retaliatory actions taken by such countries), the availability and cost of credit, the availability and cost of raw materials and critical components, and logistics issues, as well as vehicle affordability and consumer preferences regarding vehicle powertrains (including preferences regarding hybrid and electric vehicles), size, configuration and features, among other factors. The impact of potential tariffs on our business and financial condition, if any, is subject to a number of factors that are not yet known, including the effective date and duration of such tariffs, the scope and nature of any tariffs, the amount of any tariffs, any countermeasures that the target countries may take in response to such tariffs. In light of these uncertainties, we can provide no assurance that any mitigating actions that may become available to us, such as our ability to pass along some or all of the costs of any tariffs to some or all of our customers, will continue to be successful. Our sales and production may be further affected by new entrants to the industry, including domestic automakers in certain regions and non-traditional automakers, and the restructuring actions, including facility closures, of our customers and suppliers. Our operating results are also significantly impacted by the overall commercial success of the vehicle platforms for which we supply particular products, as well as the profitability of the products that we supply for these platforms, which is determined, in part, by the level of vertical integration. The loss of business with respect to any vehicle model for which we are a significant supplier, or a decrease in the production levels of any such models, could adversely affect our operating results. In addition, larger cars and light trucks, as well as vehicle platforms that offer more features and functionality, such as luxury, sport utility and crossover vehicles, typically have more content and, therefore, tend to have a more significant impact on our operating results.

Our ability to reduce the risks inherent in certain concentrations of our business, and thereby maintain our financial performance in the future, will depend, in part, on our ability to continue to diversify our sales on a customer, product, platform and geographic basis to better reflect the market overall.

The automotive industry, and our business, continue to be shaped by the broad trend of electrification. The adoption of electrified vehicles has been slower than anticipated in certain regions. Demand for, and regulatory developments related to, improved energy efficiency and sustainability (e.g., government mandates related to fuel economy and carbon emissions) could also have a significant impact on this trend.

Our material cost as a percentage of net sales was 63.7% in the first six months of 2025, as compared to 64.4% in the first six months of 2024. Raw material, energy, commodity and product component costs can be volatile, reflecting, among other things, changes in supply and demand, logistics issues, global trade and tariff policies (including recent U.S. tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed on Mexico, Canada and China, as well as other countries and any retaliatory actions taken by such countries), and geopolitical issues. Our primary commodity cost exposures relate to steel, copper and leather. We have developed and implemented strategies to mitigate the impact of increases in such costs through the selective in-sourcing of components, the continued consolidation of our supply base, longer-term purchase commitments, commercial recovery mechanisms and the selective expansion of low-cost country sourcing and engineering, as well as value engineering and product benchmarking. Further, our exposure to changes in steel prices is primarily indirect, through purchased components, and a significant portion of our copper, leather and direct steel purchases are subject to price index agreements with our customers and suppliers. Certain of these strategies also may limit our opportunities in a declining price environment. In the current environment of elevated raw material, energy, commodity and product component costs, these strategies, together with commercial negotiations with our customers and suppliers, have offset a significant portion of the adverse impact. In addition, the availability of raw materials, energy, commodities and product components fluctuates from time to time due to factors outside of our control. If these costs increase or availability is restricted, it could have an adverse impact on our operating results in the foreseeable future. See "— Forward-Looking Statements" below and Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Our customers typically require us to reduce our prices over the life of a vehicle model and, at the same time, assume significant responsibility for the design, development and engineering of our products. Our financial performance is largely dependent on our ability to offset these price reductions with product cost reductions through product design enhancements, supply chain management, manufacturing efficiencies and restructuring actions. We also seek to enhance our financial performance by investing in product development, design capabilities and new product initiatives that respond to and anticipate the needs of our customers and consumers. We continually evaluate operational and strategic alternatives to improve our business structure and align our business with the changing needs of our customers and major industry trends affecting our business.

*Financial Measures*

In evaluating our financial condition and operating performance, we focus primarily on earnings, operating margins, cash flows and return on invested capital. Our strategy includes expanding our business with new and existing customers globally through new products.

Our success in generating cash flow will depend, in part, on our ability to manage working capital effectively. Working capital can be significantly impacted by the timing of cash flows from sales, purchases, and tariffs costs and recoveries. Historically, we generally have been successful in aligning our supplier payment terms with our customer payment terms. However, our ability to continue to do so may be impacted by adverse automotive industry conditions, including inconsistent production schedules due to supply shortages and lower consumer demand, changes to our customers' payment terms and the financial condition of our suppliers. In addition, our cash flow is impacted by our ability to manage our inventory and capital spending effectively. We utilize return on invested capital as a measure of the efficiency with which our assets generate earnings.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#if3048d6af2e345298e9fbecbabe2879b_7)</u>

**LEAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES**

Improvements in our return on invested capital will depend on our ability to maintain an appropriate asset base for our business and to increase productivity and operating efficiency.

*Acquisition*

In February 2025, we completed the acquisition of StoneShield Engineering ("StoneShield"), a privately held system integrator based in Castelo Branco, Portugal. StoneShield specializes in the design and development of automation technology for the wire harness industry with expertise in robotics, automated taping applications and high voltage harness assembly. Our acquisition of StoneShield will accelerate the automation of our production processes in our E-Systems business, further improving our efficiency and operational excellence.

*Operational Restructuring*

In the first six months of 2025, we incurred pretax restructuring costs of $118 million and related manufacturing inefficiency charges of approximately $2 million, as compared to pretax restructuring costs of $84 million and related manufacturing inefficiency charges of approximately $3 million in the first six months of 2024. None of the individual restructuring actions initiated in the first six months of 2025 were material. Further, there have been no changes in previously initiated restructuring actions that have resulted (or will result) in a material change to our restructuring costs.

Our restructuring actions include plant closures and workforce reductions and are initiated to maintain our competitive footprint or are in response to customer initiatives or changes in global and regional automotive markets. Our restructuring actions are designed to maintain or improve our operating results and profitability throughout the automotive industry cycles. Restructuring actions are generally funded within twelve months of initiation and are funded by cash flows from operating activities and existing cash balances. We expect to incur approximately $25 million of additional restructuring costs related to activities initiated as of June 28, 2025, all of which are expected to be incurred in the next twelve months. We plan to implement additional restructuring actions in order to align our manufacturing capacity and other costs with prevailing regional automotive production levels. Such future restructuring actions are dependent on market conditions, customer actions and other factors.

For further information, see Note 2, "Restructuring," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

*Financial Transaction*

In June 2025, we amended our unsecured delayed-draw term loan facility (the "Term Loan") to extend the maturity date to September 30, 2027, and reduce the pricing across the grid. As of June 28, 2025, we had $100 million outstanding under the Term Loan.

<u>Subsequent Event</u>

In July 2025, we amended and restated our unsecured revolving credit agreement ("the Credit Agreement") to extend the maturity date to July 24, 2030.

*Common Stock Share Repurchase Program and Quarterly Cash Dividends* 

We may implement share repurchases through a variety of methods, including, but not limited to, open market purchases, accelerated stock repurchase programs and structured repurchase transactions. The extent to which we may repurchase our outstanding common stock and the timing of such repurchases will depend upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors. See "— Forward-Looking Statements" below.

Since the first quarter of 2011, our Board of Directors (the "Board") has authorized $6.7 billion in share repurchases under our common stock share repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program"). As of June 28, 2025, we have repurchased, in aggregate, $5.6 billion of our outstanding common stock, at an average price of $94.53 per share, excluding commissions and related fees, and have a remaining repurchase authorization of $1.0 billion, which expires on December 31, 2026. In the first six months of 2025, we repurchased $50 million of our outstanding common stock.

Our Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.77 per share of common stock in the first and second quarters of 2025.

For further information related to our common stock share repurchase program and our quarterly cash dividends, see "— Liquidity and Capital Resources — Capitalization" below and Note 14, "Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Equity," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

**Three Months Ended June 28, 2025 vs. Three Months Ended June 29, 2024**

Net sales in the second quarter of both 2025 and 2024 were $6.0 billion. New business in Asia and North and South America increased net sales by $135 million. The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations also benefited net sales by $79 million. These increases were offset by lower production volumes on Lear platforms in North America, Europe and Africa, and Asia and the winddown of certain business, which negatively impacted net sales by $266 million and $77 million, respectively. Commercial recoveries were partially offset by the impact of selling price reductions.

Cost of sales was $5.6 billion in the second quarter of both 2025 and 2024. New business and the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations increased cost of sales. These increases were offset by lower production volumes on Lear platforms and the winddown of certain business, which reduced cost of sales.

Gross profit and gross margin were $439 million and 7.3% of net sales, respectively, in the second quarter of 2025, as compared to $449 million and 7.5% of net sales, respectively, in the second quarter of 2024. Lower production volumes on Lear platforms, net of new business, reduced gross profit by $42 million. The impact of favorable operating performance, including the benefit of restructuring actions, was partially offset by selling price reductions. These factors had a corresponding impact on gross margin.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, including engineering and development expenses, were $186 million in the second quarter of 2025, as compared to $175 million in the second quarter of 2024, primarily reflecting higher compensation-related expenses. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 3.1% in the second quarter of 2025 and 2.9% in the second quarter of 2024.

Amortization of intangible assets was $5 million in the second quarter of 2025, as compared to $13 million in the second quarter of 2024, as certain of our intangible assets became fully amortized in 2024.

In the second quarter of both 2025 and 2024, we recognized foreign exchange losses of $7 million, including losses of $3 million and $4 million, respectively, related to the hyper-inflationary environment and significant currency devaluation in Argentina.

In the second quarter of 2025, the provision for income taxes was $42 million, representing an effective tax rate of 19.1% on pretax income before equity in net income of affiliates of $218 million. In the second quarter of 2024, the provision for income taxes was $46 million, representing an effective tax rate of 20.4% on pretax income before equity in net income of affiliates of $227 million, for the reasons described below. For further information, see Note 12, "Income Taxes," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

In the second quarters of 2025 and 2024, the provision for income taxes was primarily impacted by the level and mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions. In the second quarter of 2025, we recognized net tax benefits of $16 million related to the release of tax reserves at foreign subsidiaries, restructuring charges and various other items. In the second quarter of 2024, we recognized net tax benefits of $10 million, related to the release of tax reserves and audit settlements at foreign subsidiaries, restructuring charges and various other items.

Excluding these items, the effective tax rate for the second quarters of 2025 and 2024 approximated the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21%, adjusted for income taxes on foreign earnings, losses and remittances, valuation allowances, tax credits, income tax incentives and other permanent items.

Equity in net income of affiliates was $16 million in the second quarter of 2025, as compared to $14 million in the second quarter of 2024.

Net income decreased for the reasons described above. The increase in net income per diluted share reflects the lower number of diluted shares outstanding in 2025.

*Reportable Operating Segments*

We have two reportable operating segments: Seating and E-Systems. For a description of our reportable operating segments, see "Executive Overview" above.

The financial information presented below is for our two reportable operating segments and our other category for the periods presented. The other category includes unallocated costs related to corporate headquarters, regional headquarters and the elimination of intercompany activities, none of which meets the requirements for being classified as an operating segment. Corporate and regional headquarters costs include various support functions, such as information technology, advanced research and development, corporate finance, legal, executive administration and human resources. Financial measures regarding each segment's pretax income before equity in net income of affiliates, interest expense, net and other expense, net ("segment earnings") and segment earnings divided by net sales ("margin") are not measures of performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Segment earnings and the related margin are used by management to evaluate the performance of our reportable operating segments. Segment earnings should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income attributable to Lear, net cash provided by operating activities or other income statement or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as measures of profitability or liquidity. In addition, segment earnings, as we determine it, may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

For a reconciliation of consolidated segment earnings to consolidated income before provision for income taxes and equity in net income of affiliates, see Note 16, "Segment Reporting," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

**Cash Provided by Subsidiaries**

A substantial portion of our operating income is generated by our subsidiaries. As a result, we are dependent on the earnings and cash flows of and the combination of dividends, royalties, intercompany loan repayments and other distributions and advances from our subsidiaries to provide the funds necessary to meet our obligations.

As of June 28, 2025 and December 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents of $576 million and $705 million, respectively, were held in foreign subsidiaries and can be repatriated, primarily through the repayment of intercompany loans and the payment of dividends. There are no restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to Lear that would have a material impact on Lear.

**Adequacy of Liquidity Sources**

As of June 28, 2025, we had $888 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand and $2.0 billion in available borrowing capacity under our Credit Agreement. Together with cash provided by operating activities, we believe that this will enable us to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future and to satisfy ordinary course business obligations. In addition, we expect to continue to pay quarterly cash dividends and repurchase shares of our common stock pursuant to our authorized Repurchase Program, although such actions are at the discretion of our Board and will depend upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors that our Board may consider at its discretion.

Our future financial results and our ability to continue to meet our liquidity needs are subject to, and will be affected by, cash flows from operations, as well as restructuring activities, automotive industry conditions, the financial condition of our customers and suppliers, supply chain disruptions and other related factors. Additionally, an economic downturn or further reduction in production levels could negatively impact our financial condition.

For further discussion of the risks and uncertainties affecting our cash flows from operations and our overall liquidity, see "— Executive Overview" above, "— Forward-Looking Statements" below and Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Raw material, energy and commodity costs can be volatile, reflecting, among other things, changes in supply and demand, logistics issues, global trade and tariff policies (including recent U.S. tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed on Mexico, Canada and China, as well as other countries and any retaliatory actions taken by such countries), and geopolitical issues. We have commodity price risk with respect to purchases of certain raw materials, including steel, copper, diesel fuel, chemicals, resins and leather. Our primary commodity cost exposures relate to steel, copper and leather. We have developed and implemented strategies to mitigate the impact of increases in such costs through the selective in-sourcing of components, the continued consolidation of our supply base, longer-term purchase commitments, commercial recovery mechanisms and the selective expansion of low-cost country sourcing and engineering, as well as value engineering and product benchmarking. Further, the majority of the steel used in our products is comprised of fabricated components that are integrated into a seat system, such as seat frames, recliner mechanisms, seat tracks and other mechanical components. Therefore, our exposure to changes in steel prices is primarily indirect, through purchased components. Additionally, approximately 88% of our copper purchases and a significant portion of our leather and direct steel purchases are subject to price index agreements with our customers and suppliers. These agreements have historically mitigated this risk, but no assurance can be provided that the agreements will continue to do so in the future. Certain of these strategies also may limit our opportunities in a declining commodity price environment. In the current environment of elevated raw material, energy and commodity costs, these strategies, together with commercial negotiations with our customers and suppliers, have offset a significant portion of the adverse impact. If these costs increase, it could have an adverse impact on our operating results in the foreseeable future.

**OTHER MATTERS**

**Legal and Environmental Matters**

We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings and claims, including, without limitation, commercial and contractual disputes, product liability claims, and environmental and other matters. As of June 28, 2025, we had recorded reserves for pending legal disputes, including commercial and contractual disputes, product liability claims and other legal matters of $14 million. In addition, as of June 28, 2025, we had recorded reserves for warranty and recall matters of $31 million and environmental matters of $5 million. We carry insurance for certain legal matters, including product liability claims, but such coverage may be limited. We do not maintain insurance for warranty and recall matters. Although these reserves were determined in accordance with GAAP, the ultimate outcomes of these matters are inherently uncertain, and actual results may differ significantly from current estimates. For a description of risks related to various legal proceedings and claims, see Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. For a more complete description of our outstanding material legal proceedings, see Note 15, "Legal and Other Contingencies," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

Certain of our accounting policies require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based on our historical experience, the terms of existing contracts, our evaluation of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and suppliers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. However, these estimates and assumptions are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Accordingly, actual results in these areas may differ significantly from our estimates.

For a discussion of our significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates, see Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Other Matters — Critical Accounting Estimates," and Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no significant changes in our significant accounting policies or critical accounting estimates during the first six months of 2025.

**Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements**

For information on the impact of recently issued accounting pronouncements, see Note 18, "Accounting Pronouncements," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

The forward-looking statements in this Report are made as of the date hereof, and we do not assume any obligation to update, amend or clarify them to reflect events, new information or circumstances occurring after the date hereof.

**ITEM 3 — QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

**MARKET RISK SENSITIVITY**

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risks associated with fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. We manage a portion of these risks through the use of derivative financial instruments in accordance with our policies. We enter into all hedging transactions for periods consistent with the underlying exposures. We do not enter into derivative instruments for trading purposes.

**Foreign Exchange**

Operating results may be impacted by our buying, selling and financing in currencies other than the functional currency of our operating companies ("transactional exposure"). We may mitigate a portion of this risk by entering into forward foreign exchange, futures and option contracts. The foreign exchange contracts are executed with banks that we believe are creditworthy. Gains and losses related to foreign exchange contracts are deferred where appropriate and included in the measurement of the foreign currency transaction subject to the hedge. Gains and losses incurred related to foreign exchange contracts are generally offset by the direct effects of currency movements on the underlying transactions.

A summary of the notional amount and estimated aggregate fair value of our outstanding foreign exchange contracts is shown below (in millions):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **June 28,<br>2025** | **December 31,<br>2024** |
| Notional amount (contract maturities < 36 months) | $3063 | $3087 |
| Fair value | 100 | (154) |

---

Currently, our most significant foreign currency transactional exposures relate to the Mexican peso, various European currencies, the Moroccan dirham, the Honduran lempira and the Chinese renminbi.

A sensitivity analysis of our net transactional exposure is shown below (in millions):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Euro | 10% | 71 | 68 |

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#if3048d6af2e345298e9fbecbabe2879b_7)</u>

**LEAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES**

There are certain shortcomings inherent in the sensitivity analyses above. The analyses assume that all currencies would uniformly strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar or Euro. In reality, some currencies may strengthen while others may weaken, causing the earnings impact to increase or decrease depending on the currency and the direction of the rate movement.

In addition to the transactional exposure described above, our operating results are impacted by the translation of our foreign operating income into U.S. dollars ("translational exposure"). In 2024, net sales outside of the United States accounted for 78% of our consolidated net sales, although certain non-U.S. sales are U.S. dollar denominated. We do not enter into foreign exchange contracts to mitigate our translational exposure.

**Interest Rates**

Our variable rate obligations are sensitive to changes in interest rates. As of June 28, 2025, we had $100 million outstanding under our Term Loan. Advances under the Term Loan generally bear interest based on the Daily or Term SOFR (as defined in the Term Loan agreement) plus a margin, determined in accordance with a pricing grid, that ranges from 0.875% to 1.375%. As of June 28, 2025, the interest rate was 5.320%.

A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the interest rate on our Term Loan would increase annual interest expense and related cash interest payments by approximately $1 million.

**ITEM 4 — CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

(a)Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer along with the Company's Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Based on the evaluation described above, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer along with the Company's Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the desired control objectives were achieved as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

(b)Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2025, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

**LEAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**PART II — OTHER INFORMATION**

**ITEM 1 — LEGAL PROCEEDINGS**

We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings and claims, including, without limitation, commercial or contractual disputes, product liability claims, and environmental and other matters. For a description of risks related to various legal proceedings and claims, see Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. For a description of our outstanding material legal proceedings, see Note 15, "Legal and Other Contingencies," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

**ITEM 1A — RISK FACTORS**

There have been no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, except for the update of the risk factor set forth below:

• ***International trade policies, such as tariffs and sanctions, could adversely affect our financial performance.***

Due to the interconnectedness of the global economy, policy changes in one area of the world can have an immediate and material adverse impact on markets around the world. Changes in international trade policies, including: (i) changes to existing trade agreements; (ii) greater restrictions on free trade generally; and (iii) significant increases in customs duties and tariffs imposed by any country, including those already imposed by the United States and retaliatory and other actions by other countries, can adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

Since his inauguration in January 2025, U.S. President Donald J. Trump has announced various tariffs that impact industries around the world, including the automotive industry. As of the date of this Report, the tariffs announced by the current U.S. administration that could adversely impact our business include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 25% tariff on imports of automobiles and certain automobile parts into the United States from all countries (with respect to automotive parts, the "Automobile Parts Tariff"). Automobile parts that meet specific rules of origin under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement ("USMCA" and "USMCA-qualifying") are currently exempt from the Automobile Parts Tariff; however, this exemption could be modified in the future to include only the U.S. content of USMCA-qualifying automobile parts. The U.S. administration has been negotiating agreements with several countries. It has reached an agreement with the United Kingdom and announced an agreement with Japan that include reductions in the Automobile Parts Tariff to 10% and 15%, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 50% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports into the United States from all countries (the "Steel/Aluminum Tariff"). The Steel/Aluminum Tariff does not apply to goods subject to the Automobile Parts Tariff. This tariff was increased from 25% to 50% effective June 4, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 25% tariff on all imports into the United States from Mexico and Canada except for USMCA-qualifying goods (the "Mexico/Canada Tariff"). The Mexico/Canada Tariff does not apply to goods subject to the Automobile Parts Tariff or the Steel/Aluminum Tariff. On July 10, 2025, President Trump announced a 35% tariff on all imports into the United States from Canada effective August 1, 2025, and on July 12, 2025, announced a 30% tariff on all imports into the United States from Mexico. Although the exception for USMCA-qualifying goods is expected to remain in place, this has not yet been confirmed by the current U.S. administration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Incremental 20% tariff on all imports into the United States from China (the "China Tariff").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 10% tariff on all imports into the United States from all countries that are not subject to the Automobile Parts, Mexico/Canada or Steel/Aluminum Tariffs. Country-specific tariffs were to replace the 10% tariffs effective April 9, 2025, but are currently paused, with the exception of China, until August 1, 2025 (the "Reciprocal Tariffs"). The China Reciprocal Tariff of 125% was reduced to 10% effective May 14, 2025 through August 12, 2025, and is additive to the China Tariff discussed above. On July 12, 2025, President Trump threatened a 30% tariff on all imports into the United States from the European Union effective August 1, 2025. In addition, various country-specific proposals and agreements have been or are being negotiated directly with the affected countries.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#if3048d6af2e345298e9fbecbabe2879b_7)</u>

**LEAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 50% tariff on copper imports into the United States effective August 1, 2025. The scope of this tariff has not yet been confirmed by the current U.S. administration (the "Copper Tariff").

The actual impact of these tariffs on our business, financial condition and results of operations is subject to a number of factors that are not yet known or are subject to change, including the effect such tariffs may have on consumer demand and global automotive production volumes, the effective dates and duration of such tariffs, future changes in the amounts and scope of such tariffs, the potential withdrawal of such tariffs in whole or in part, the scope and effective date of any exemptions to such tariffs, any modification to existing exemptions to the tariffs, countermeasures that the target countries may take in response to such tariffs, and the impact such tariffs may have on our customers and our supply chain. We have entered into contractual agreements with our customers to recover substantially all tariff costs incurred to date and are implementing certain actions, and considering others, to counter the potential impact of such tariffs on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including, without limitation, participating in efforts to inform the U.S. and certain foreign administrations and legislatures of the impact of current trade and tariff policies on the automotive industry and evaluating our production footprint and alternatives in our supply chain. However, we can provide no assurance that we will continue to be successful in recovering such costs from our customers or that any of these mitigating actions will continue to be successful or will not disrupt and deteriorate our business, operations and financial performance.

In addition to potential increases in customs duties and tariffs in the United States and other countries, the USMCA is subject to renewal in 2026. There can be no assurance that the USMCA will be renewed or, if renewed, any newly negotiated terms in the USMCA will not adversely affect our business. Also, China presents unique risks to U.S. automotive manufacturers due to the strain in U.S.-China relations and the level of integration with key components in our global supply chain. It remains unclear what additional actions the current U.S. administration may take with respect to trade issues involving China and other countries.

Further, the U.S. and other governments could impose additional sanctions or export controls that could restrict us from doing business directly or indirectly in or with certain countries or parties, which could include affiliates (e.g., China has imposed tariffs and taken other retaliatory actions in recent months). The current trade environment could impact the status of other trade agreements between the United States and countries other than Canada and Mexico, including, without limitation, the Dominican Republic-Central America-United States Free Trade Agreement. Any of the above factors could impact our supply chain, as well as our operations, and adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

**ITEM 2 — UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS**

As discussed in Part I — Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Executive Overview — Share Repurchase Program and Quarterly Cash Dividends," and Note 14, "Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Equity," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report, we have a remaining repurchase authorization of $1,049.9 million under our ongoing common stock share repurchase program.

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When determining whether a Default or Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.1 shall be in existence after giving pro forma effect to a certain event, the covenant levels to be used in making such determination shall be those in effect as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter of the Company for which financial reports are required to have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Exchange Rates; Currencies</u>. (a) For purposes of calculating the Dollar Equivalent of the principal amount of any Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Alternative Currency L/C Exposure at any time, the Dollar Equivalent at the time of issuance of any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit then requested to be issued pursuant to Section 3.2 or any other matter relating to an Alternative Currency Loan or Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Exchange Rate as of the applicable Exchange Rate Date with respect to each Alternative Currency in which any requested or outstanding Loan or Alternative Currency Letter of Credit is denominated and shall apply such Exchange Rate to determine such amount (in each case after giving effect to any Loan to be made or repaid or Letter of Credit to be issued or to expire or terminate on or prior to the applicable date for such calculation).

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At any time, any reference in the definition of the term "Alternative Currency" or in any other provision of this Agreement to the currency of any particular nation means the lawful currency of such nation at such time whether or not the name of such currency is the same as it was on the date hereof. Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Borrowing or Loan an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such Borrowing or Loan is denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Alternative Currency Equivalent of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest 1,000 units of such Alternative Currency).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each obligation hereunder of any party hereto that is denominated in a currency of a country that is not a Participating Member State on the date hereof shall, effective from the date on which such country becomes a Participating Member State, be redenominated in Euro in accordance with the legislation of the European Union applicable to the European Monetary Union; <u>provided</u> that, if and to the extent that any such legislation provides that any such obligation of any such party payable within such Participating Member State by crediting an account of the creditor can be paid by the debtor either in Euro or such currency, such party shall be entitled to pay or repay such amount either in Euro or in such currency. If the basis of accrual of interest or fees expressed in this Agreement with respect to an Alternative Currency of any country that becomes a Participating Member State after the date on which such currency becomes an Alternative Currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest or fees in respect of the Euro, such convention or practice shall replace such expressed basis effective as of and from the date on which such country becomes a Participating Member State; <u>provided</u> that, with respect to any Borrowing denominated in such currency that is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect at the end of the Interest Period therefor. Without prejudice to the respective liabilities of the Borrowers to the Lenders and of the Lenders to the Borrowers under or pursuant to this Agreement, each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction or changeover to the Euro in any country that becomes a Participating Member State after the date hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Affected Lenders</u>. (a) If any Lender notifies the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing that it has determined in good faith that any Alternative Currency approved by the Administrative Agent after the Closing Date is not available to such Lender in sufficient amounts to fund any Loan requested to be funded by such Lender in such Alternative Currency as part of a requested

------

Borrowing (or to fund any participating interest in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit denominated in such Alternative Currency), after using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain sufficient amounts of such currency, then such Lender shall fund its share of the requested Loan (or participating interests) in Dollars (based on the Exchange Rate in effect on the date of funding) with any such Loan being a Term Benchmark Loan with an Interest Period equal to the Interest Period for the requested Borrowing, in each case under this paragraph (a) pursuant to procedures to be agreed upon by the Company 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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If any Lender notifies the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing that it has determined in good faith that the extension of credit by such Lender to a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower designated after the Closing Date would result in adverse tax or legal consequences to such Lender (unless (1) such consequences can be avoided by a change in lending office in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 2.18 or (2) such consequences involve only the payment of money (other than a fine or penalty), in which case such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall be deemed acceptable to such Lender if the Company agrees to pay such Lender such amounts as such Lender determines in good faith are necessary to compensate such Lender for such consequences) then (i) instead of making Loans to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower such Lender shall instead make its share of the requested Borrowing as a Loan to the Company, (ii) any Letters of Credit issued jointly for the account of the Company and such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall, with respect to such Lender only, be deemed to be issued solely for the account of the Company and (iii) participating interests in Swingline Loans made to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall be deemed held by Lenders which are not Affected Lenders with respect to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower (rather than by all Lenders), in each case under this paragraph (b) pursuant to procedures to be agreed upon by the Company 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;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As used herein "<u>Affected Lender</u>" means any Lender described in Section 1.5(a) or (b).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Interest Rates; Benchmark Notification</u>. The interest rate on a Loan denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that may be discontinued or is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or a Term CORRA Reelection Event, Section 2.13(b) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to any interest rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the existing interest rate being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did any existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any interest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction's laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of its equity interests at such time.

SECTION 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;AMOUNT AND TERMS OF LOANS AND COMMITMENTS

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Revolving Loans and Commitments</u>. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans in Dollars or an Alternative Currency ("<u>Revolving Loans</u>") to the Borrowers from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which, when added to such Lender's other Revolving Extensions of Credit then outstanding, does not exceed the amount of such Lender's Revolving Commitment; <u>provided</u> the aggregate principal amount of Alternative Currency Loans and Alternative Currency L/C Exposure shall not exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit. During the Revolving Commitment Period the Borrowers may use the Revolving Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Subject to Section 2.13, the Revolving Loans may from time to time be (i) in the case of Revolving Loans in Dollars, Term Benchmark Loans, ABR Loans or RFR Loans and (ii) in the case of Revolving Loans in any other Alternative Currency, entirely Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans, as applicable, in each case as determined by the applicable Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.1(b) and 2.9. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement are several. Each Lender may, at its option, make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such lender to make such Loan; <u>provided</u> that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligations of such Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Borrowers may borrow under the Revolving Commitments during the Revolving Commitment Period on any Business Day, <u>provided</u> that the applicable Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to (i) 12:00 P.M., Local Time, three U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars, (ii) 12:00 P.M., New York City time, three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Euros, (iii) in the case of Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, not later than 12:00 P.M., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, (iv) in the case of Term Benchmark Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than Euros or Canadian Dollars), prior to 12:00 P.M., New York City time, four Business days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, (v) in the case of RFR Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling, not later than 12:00 P.M., New York City time, five Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, (vi) in the case of RFR Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, not later than 12:00 P.M., New York City time, five Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, (vii) 11:00 A.M., Local Time, on the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of ABR Loans (<u>provided</u> that any such notice of a borrowing of ABR Loans to finance payments required by Section 3.5 may be given not later than 10:00 A.M., Local Time, on the date of the proposed borrowing) and (viii) in the case of RFR Loans denominated in Dollars, not later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date), specifying (w) the requested Borrower, (x) the amount, Type and currency of Revolving Loans to be borrowed, (y) the requested Borrowing Date, and (z) in the case of Term Benchmark Loans, the respective lengths of the initial Interest Period therefor. Each borrowing under the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of ABR Loans or RFR Loans denominated in Dollars, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Revolving Commitments are less than $1,000,000, such

------

lesser amount), (y) in the case of Term Benchmark Loans, $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (z) in the case of RFR Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling or Canadian Dollars, the Alternative Currency Equivalent of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Upon receipt of any such notice from the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof. Each Revolving Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 2:00 P.M., Local Time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the applicable Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the applicable Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the applicable Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Revolving Lenders and in like funds as received by 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;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Lender at its option may make any Revolving Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Revolving Loan; <u>provided</u> that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay such Revolving Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that no such option may be exercised by any Lender if, immediately after giving effect thereto, amounts would become payable by a Borrower under Section 2.15 or 2.16 that are in excess of those that would be payable under such Section if such option were not exercised.

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company may act as agent for the other Borrowers with respect to all matters involving Revolving Loans to and Letters of Credit for the account of any other Borrower. Without limitation, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may rely on any notice or request given by the Company with respect to any Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit issued or to be issued to or for the account of any other Borrower or any payment, continuation, conversion, prepayment or amendment thereof and may fund the proceeds of any Revolving Loan requested to be made to any other Borrower to any account directed by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Swingline Commitments</u>. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Swingline Dollar Lender agrees to make a portion of the credit otherwise available to the Borrowers under the Revolving Commitments from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period by making swingline loans denominated in Dollars ("<u>Swingline Dollar Loans</u>") to the Company; <u>provided</u> that (x) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Dollar Loans outstanding at any time from any Swingline Dollar Lender shall not exceed the Swingline Dollar Commitment of such Swingline Dollar Lender then in effect (notwithstanding that the Swingline Dollar Loans of such Swingline Dollar Lender outstanding at any time, when aggregated with the Swingline Dollar Lender's other outstanding Revolving Extensions of Credit, may exceed the Swingline Dollar Commitment of such Swingline Dollar Lender then in effect), (y) the Revolving Credit Exposure of such Swingline Dollar Lender shall not exceed its Revolving Commitment and (z) the Company shall not request, and the Swingline Dollar Lenders shall not make, any Swingline Dollar Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such Swingline Dollar Loan, the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero or the aggregate outstanding Swingline Dollar Loans would exceed the Swingline Dollar Limit. During the Revolving Commitment Period, the Company may use the Swingline Dollar Commitments by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Swingline Dollar Loans shall be denominated in Dollars and ABR Loans only.

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Swingline Alternative Currency Lender agrees to make a portion of the credit otherwise available to the Borrowers under the Revolving Commitments from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period by making swingline loans denominated in Alternative Currencies ("<u>Swingline Alternative Currency Loans</u>") to the Borrowers; <u>provided</u> that (x) the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Alternative

------

Currency Loans outstanding at any time from any Swingline Alternative Currency Lender shall not exceed the Swingline Alternative Currency Commitment of such Swingline Alternative Currency Lender then in effect (notwithstanding that the Swingline Alternative Currency Loans of such Swingline Alternative Currency Lender outstanding at any time, when aggregated with such Swingline Alternative Currency Lender's other outstanding Revolving Extensions of Credit, may exceed the Swingline Alternative Currency Commitment of such Swingline Alternative Currency Lender in effect), (y) the Revolving Credit Exposure of such Swingline Alternative Currency Lender shall not exceed its Revolving Commitment and (z) no Borrower shall request, and the Swingline Alternative Currency Lenders shall not make, any Swingline Alternative Currency Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such Swingline Alternative Currency Loan, the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero or the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding Swingline Alternative Currency Loans would exceed the Swingline Alternative Currency Limit. During the Revolving Commitment Period, each Borrower may use the Swingline Alternative Currency Commitments by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Swingline Alternative Currency Loans shall bear interest at the applicable Swingline Alternative Currency Rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Borrower shall repay to each Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan made to such Borrower by such Swingline Lender on the earliest of (i) the Revolving Termination Date, (ii) the 15th Business Day after such Swingline Loan is made and (iii) the last Business Day of a calendar quarter that is at least three Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; <u>provided</u> that on each date that a Revolving Loan is borrowed, each Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans made to it then outstanding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Procedure for Swingline Loan Borrowing; Refunding of Swingline Loans</u>. (a) Whenever a Borrower desires that a Swingline Lender make Swingline Loans it shall give such Swingline Lender irrevocable telephonic notice (which telephonic notice must be received by such Swingline Lender not later than 1:30 P.M, Local Time (or, in the case of Swingline Alternative Currency Loans, not later than 11:00 A.M., Local Time)), confirmed promptly in writing (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), specifying (i) the applicable Borrower, (ii) whether such Swingline Loan is to be a Swingline Dollar Loan or a Swingline Alternative Currency Loan, (iii) the currency of such Borrowing, (iv) the applicable Interest Period therefor (if such Borrowing is not in Dollars), (v) the amount to be borrowed (expressed in the requested currency), (vi) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period) and (vii) the account into which the proceeds of such Borrowing are to be deposited. Each borrowing under a Swingline Commitment shall be in an amount not less than the Dollar Equivalent of $500,000 or (in the case of Swingline Dollar Loans) a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or (in the case of Swingline Alternative Currency Loans) a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Not later than 3:00 P.M., Local Time (or in the case of Swingline Alternative Currency Loans, such later time as may be specified by the applicable Swingline Alternative Currency Lender), on the Borrowing Date specified in a notice in respect of Swingline Loans, such Swingline Lender shall make available to the applicable Borrower at its office specified in the applicable notice an amount in immediately available funds in the requested currency equal to the amount of the Swingline Loan to be made by such Swingline Lender. Each Swingline Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the making of any Swingline Loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of each Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs such Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), on one Business Day's notice given by such Swingline Lender no later than 12:00 Noon, Local Time, request each Revolving Lender to make, and each Revolving Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Loan in the applicable currency (or, only to the extent that a Lender is unable to make such payment in the applicable currency, in Dollars based on the Exchange Rate in effect on the date such payment is made) in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender's Revolving Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans (the "<u>Refunded Swingline Loans</u>") owed to such Swingline Lender outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay such Swingline Lender. Each Revolving Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office in immediately available funds, not later than 10:00 A.M., Local Time, one Business Day after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to such Swingline Lender for application by such Swingline Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans. Each Borrower irrevocably authorizes each Swingline Lender to charge such Borrower's accounts with the Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the amount of such Refunded Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swingline Loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.3(b) one of the events described in Section 8.1(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to any Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by a Swingline Lender in its sole discretion, Revolving Loans may not be made as contemplated by Section 2.3(b), each Revolving Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.3(b), purchase for cash in the applicable currency an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans of such Swingline Lender by paying to such Swingline Lender an amount (the "<u>Swingline Participation Amount</u>") equal to (i) such Revolving Lender's Revolving Percentage times (ii) the sum of the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding that were to have been repaid with such Revolving Loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Whenever, at any time after a Swingline Lender has received from any Revolving Lender such Lender's Swingline Participation Amount, such Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the applicable Swingline Loans, such Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swingline Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender's participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Lender's pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all applicable Swingline Loans then due); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that in the event that such payment received by such Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Lender will return to such Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by such Swingline Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Revolving Lender's obligation to make the Revolving Loans referred to in Section 2.3(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.3(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender or any Borrower may have against any Swingline Lender, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrowers, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the applicable Borrower or any other Revolving Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Commitments then in effect. The Alternative Currency Sublimit shall be reduced concurrently with any reduction of the Total Revolving Commitments ratably based on the amount of the reduction of the Total Revolving Commitments

If on any date the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit exceed the Total Revolving Commitments, the Company shall, within five Business Days after notice thereof to the Company from the Administrative Agent, cash collateralize L/C Obligations and/or prepay Revolving Loans (or cause any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower to prepay Revolving Loans made to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. If on any Exchange Rate Date, the Dollar Equivalent of the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit attributable to Alternative Currency

Loans and Alternative Currency Letters of Credit exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit by 5% or more, then within five Business Days after notice thereof to the Company from the Administrative Agent, the Company shall (or, with respect to obligations of a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, shall cause such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower to) prepay Alternative Currency Loans and cash collateralize L/C Obligations in respect of Alternative Currency Letters of Credit in an aggregate principal amount at least equal to such excess. Nothing set forth in this Section 2.8 shall be construed to require the Administrative Agent to calculate compliance under this Section 2.8 other than at the times set forth in Section 2.8.

(a) Each Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 11:00 A.M., Local Time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date. Each Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 12:00 Noon, Local Time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), <u>provided</u> that no ABR Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Term Benchmark Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any Term Benchmark Loan may be continued as such in the same currency upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the applicable Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term "Interest Period" set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, <u>provided</u> that no Term Benchmark Loan denominated in Dollars under a particular Facility may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations, and, unless repaid, (i) each Revolving Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Dollars and, if applicable, each RFR Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) each Revolving Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be converted to a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (iii) each Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than Canadian Dollars) or RFR Borrowing denominated in Pounds Sterling shall bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency plus the Applicable Margin; <u>provided</u> <u>further</u> that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency other than Canadian Dollars or outstanding affected RFR Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling shall either be (x) converted to an ABR Borrowing denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency) at the end of the Interest Period, as applicable, therefor or (y) prepaid at the end of the applicable Interest Period, as applicable, in full; <u>provided further</u> that if no election is made by the applicable Borrower by the earlier of (A) the date that is three Business Days (five Business Days with respect to RFR Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling) after receipt by the applicable Borrower of such notice and (B) the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Term Benchmark Loan, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (x) above. If a Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans if denominated in Dollars shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period and, if denominated in an Alternative Currency, shall be continued as such in the same currency with a one month

Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For the avoidance of doubt, the conversion and continuation provisions of this Section 2.9 shall not apply to Swingline Alternative Currency Loans and the terms of Section 2.2 shall control the repayment and reborrowing of such Swingline Alternative Currency 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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(f), each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.

------

366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Company and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Term Benchmark Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Statutory Reserve Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Company and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be presumptively correct and binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrowers deliver a new interest election request or a new borrowing request, (A) for Loans denominated in Dollars, any interest election request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing and any borrowing request that requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be an interest election request or a borrowing request, as applicable, for (x) an RFR Borrowing denominated in Dollars so long as Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 2.13(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) an ABR Borrowing if Daily Simple SOFR is also is the subject of Section 2.13(a)(i) or (ii) above and (B) for Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, any interest election request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing and any borrowing request that requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing or an RFR Borrowing, in each case, for the relevant Benchmark, shall be ineffective; <u>provided</u> that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then all other Types of Borrowings shall be permitted. Furthermore, if any Term

Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan in any currency is outstanding on the date of the Company's receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 2.13(a) with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrowers deliver a new interest election request or a new borrowing request, (A) for Loans denominated in Dollars, any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) an RFR Borrowing denominated in Dollars so long as Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 2.13(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) an ABR Loan if Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 2.14(a)(i) or (ii) above, on such day and (B) for Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan bear interest at the Central Bank Rate (or in the case of Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Prime Rate) for the applicable Alternative Currency plus the Applicable Margin; <u>provided</u> that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate (or in the case of Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Prime Rate) for the applicable Alternative Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency shall, at the Borrower's election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid by the Borrower on such day or (B) solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan, such Term Benchmark Loan denominated in any Alternative Currency shall be deemed to be a Term Benchmark Loan denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars at such time and (2) any RFR Loan shall bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency plus the Applicable Margin; <u>provided</u> that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected RFR Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency, at the Borrower's election, shall either (A) be converted into ABR Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency) immediately or (B) be prepaid in full immediately.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" with respect to Dollars or Canadian Dollars for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Majority Facility Lenders of each affected Facility.

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

------

below in this paragraph, with respect to a Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars, if a Term CORRA Reelection Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; <u>provided</u> that, this clause (c) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower a Term CORRA Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term CORRA Notice after the occurrence of a Term CORRA Reelection Event and may do so in its sole discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.13, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their reasonable discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.13.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon the Company's receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrowers may revoke any request for (i) a Term Benchmark Borrowing, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued or (ii) a RFR Borrowing or conversion to RFR Loans, during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, either (x) the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any request for (1) a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Dollars into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to (A) an RFR Borrowing denominated in Dollars so long as Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) an ABR Borrowing if the Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) any Term Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be ineffective. 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 ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Company's receipt of notice of

------

the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement for such currency is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.13, (A) for Loans denominated in Dollars (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) an RFR Borrowing denominated in Dollars so long as the Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) an ABR Loan if the Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event, on such day and (2) any RFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute an ABR Loan and (B) for Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan bear interest at the Central Bank Rate (or in the case of Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Prime Rate) for the applicable Alternative Currency plus the Applicable Margin; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate (or in the case of Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Prime Rate) for the applicable currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency shall, at the Borrower's election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid by the Borrower on such day or (B) solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan, such Term Benchmark Loan denominated in any Alternative Currency shall be deemed to be a Term Benchmark Loan denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars at such time and (2) any RFR Loan shall bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency plus the Applicable Margin; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected RFR Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency, at the Borrower's election, shall either (A) be converted into ABR Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency) immediately or (B) be prepaid in full immediately.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, (i) each payment by any Borrower on account of any fee payable to Lenders with respect to the respective Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans and any reduction of the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders shall be made <u>pro</u> <u>rata</u> according to the Revolving Percentages of the relevant Lenders entitled thereto and (ii) each payment by the Company of any fee payable to Lenders with respect to any Term Loans shall be made <u>pro</u> <u>rata</u> according to the Term Loan Percentage of the relevant 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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except as otherwise provided herein, each payment (including each prepayment) by the Company on account of principal of and interest on any Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Term Loans then held by the applicable Term Lenders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except as otherwise provided herein, each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made <u>pro</u> <u>rata</u> according to the respective Revolving Percentages of the Revolving Lenders entitled thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All payments (including prepayments) to be made by each Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars or the applicable Alternative Currency and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to each relevant Lender promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Term Benchmark Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Term

------

Benchmark Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars except payments of principal of and interest on any Alternative Currency Loan and reimbursement of any payment made by an Issuing lender pursuant to a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency and interest thereon shall be paid in the applicable currency. If, for any reason, a Borrower is prohibited by any Requirement of Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Borrower shall fail to pay any principal of any Loan when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory prepayments or otherwise), the unpaid portion of such Loan shall, if such Loan is not denominated in Dollars, at the option of the Administrative Agent be redenominated in Dollars on the date due thereof (or, if such due date is a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor, on the last day of such Interest Period) in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof on the date of such redenomination and such principal shall be payable on demand; and if any Borrower shall fail to pay any interest on any Loan that is not denominated in Dollars, such interest shall at the option of the Administrative Agent be redenominated in Dollars on the due date therefore (or, if such due date is a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor, on the last day of such Interest Period) in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof on the date of such redenomination and 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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the date of borrowing therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Overnight Bank Funding Rate for the applicable currency and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation for such currency, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender's share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such date of borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable thereto, within three Business Days after demand therefor from the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by a Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by such Borrower hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective <u>pro</u> <u>rata</u> shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by such Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Bank Funding Rate for the applicable currency. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against any Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.3(c), 2.3(d), 2.14(e), 2.14(f), 3.4(a) or 9.7, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent, any Swingline Lender or any Issuing Lender for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender's obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The respective obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement are several and not joint and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to satisfy its obligations hereunder. This Section 2.14 is subject to Section 1.5.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.15&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Requirements of Law</u>. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case, made subsequent to the date hereof:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;shall subject any Lender or Issuing Lender to any Tax (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions (or participations therein) of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Term SOFR Rate, EURIBOR Rate or CORRA Rate; 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;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or, in the case of (i), such Lender or Issuing Lender), by an amount that such Lender (or, in the case of (i), such Lender or Issuing Lender) reasonably deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Term Benchmark Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Company shall promptly pay such Lender (or, in the case of (i), such Lender or Issuing Lender), within 30 days after receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender (or, in the case of (i), such Lender or Issuing Lender) for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender (or, in the case of (i), any Lender or Issuing Lender) becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority, in each case, made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such corporation's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's or such corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Company (with a

------

copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Company shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be presumptively correct in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor; <u>provided</u> that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such nine-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable 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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof shall be deemed to be a change in a Requirement of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.16&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Taxes</u>. (a) Any and all payments made by or on account of any Borrower under this Agreement or any other 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, the amounts so payable by the applicable Borrower to such Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that, after such withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16), the applicable Credit Party receives an amount equal to the sum which would have been 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;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, shall timely reimburse it for the payment of such Other Taxes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As soon as practicable after the payment of any Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.16, such Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt issued by such Governmental Authority showing payment thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Borrowers shall indemnify each Credit Party, 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 2.16) payable or paid by such Credit Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Credit Party 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 delivered to the Borrowers by a Credit Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Credit Party, 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;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any Credit Party (or Transferee) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Credit Party (or Transferee), if reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Credit Party (or Transferee) 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 paragraphs (e)(i)-(iv), (f) and (g) of this Section 2.16) shall not be required if in the Credit Party's (or Transferee's) reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Credit Party (or Transferee) to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Credit Party (or Transferee). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Credit Party (or Transferee) that is not a "United States person" as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a "<u>Non-U.S. Lender</u>") shall deliver on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) and from time to time thereafter upon request of the applicable Borrower or 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;(i) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming eligibility for 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, two executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN 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, two executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "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;(ii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming that its extension of credit will generate U.S. effectively connected income, an 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;(iii) in the case of a Non-U.S. 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 Exhibit D to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a "10 percent shareholder" of the Company within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a "controlled foreign corporation" described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a "U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate") and (y) two copies of an executed IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN;

&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 Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 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;(v) executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of U.S. federal income Tax law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding

------

Tax together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable the applicable Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld.

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Furthermore, if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent and the Company, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent or the Company, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent or the Company as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent and each Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.16(e), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any Credit Party that is a United States person shall deliver to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement a duly completed and signed original IRS Form W-9 (or successor form) establishing that the Credit Party is organized under the laws of the United States and is not subject to backup withholding. Each Credit Party shall deliver such form promptly upon the expiration, obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Credit Party pursuant to this Section 2.16(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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Credit Party shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms or certifications described in this Section 2.16 promptly upon the expiration, obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16.

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If a Credit 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 by a Borrower or with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall pay over such refund to such Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Credit Party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); <u>provided</u>, that such Borrower, upon the request of the Credit Party, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Credit Party in the event the Credit Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (i), in no event will a Credit Party be required to pay any amount to a Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (i) the payment of which would place such Credit Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Credit 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 Credit Party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to any Borrower or to any other Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 any Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to indemnify for Indemnified Taxes) that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6(c)(iii) relating to the maintenance of a Participation 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 (k).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The agreements in this Section 2.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction, or discharge of the Loans and all other amounts payable 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;2.17&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Indemnity</u>. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by such Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans after such Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (other than by operation of Section 2.13), (b) default by such Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans after such Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or (c) the making by such Borrower of a prepayment of Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans on a day that is not the Interest Payment Date with respect thereto. With respect to Term Benchmark Loans, such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Payment Date (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure, as applicable) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency, whether or not such Term Benchmark Loan was in fact so funded. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to such Borrower by any Lender shall be presumptively correct in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable 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;2.18&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Change of Lending Office</u>. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.15 or 2.16 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Company, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; <u>provided</u>, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.16.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.19&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Incremental Facility</u>. (a) Each Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request one or more additional tranches of term loans (each an "<u>Incremental Term Facility</u>") or one or more additional revolving facilities or letter of credit facilities or an increase in the amount of the Revolving Facility (each, an "<u>Incremental Revolving Facility</u>"; together with the Incremental Term Facilities, each an "<u>Incremental Facility</u>"), <u>provided</u> that (i) at the time and after the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) the Company shall be in compliance with the covenant contained in Section 7.1 determined on a pro forma basis as of the last day of the most recent period of the Company for which financial statements are available as if any term loans under such Incremental Facility had been outstanding and any revolving commitment under such Incremental Facility (to the extent available to make Loans) had been fully used on the last day of such period, and (iii) the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Facilities shall not exceed $750,000,000. Each Incremental Facility shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $50,000,000 unless approved by the Administrative Agent (<u>provided</u> that such amount may be less than $50,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the preceding sentence). Any negative or financial covenants applicable to an Incremental Facility that are more restrictive than those contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be automatically incorporated in this Agreement, <u>mutatis</u> <u>mutandis</u>, except (x) in the case of an Incremental Revolving Facility, to the extent they do not by their nature apply or relate to any then-existing Facility or apply only to periods after the commitment termination date of the Revolving Facility or any other revolving Facility and (y) in the case of an Incremental Term Facility, to the extent they do not by their nature apply or relate to any then-existing Facility or apply only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date. Any Incremental Facility shall be unsecured.

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Any Incremental Revolving Facility shall not mature earlier than the Revolving Termination Date or any other revolving Facility nor have a weighted average life which is shorter than the then remaining weighted average life of the Revolving Facility, (ii) the terms and conditions applicable to any Incremental Revolving Facility (other than with respect to maturity, which shall be governed by the preceding clause (i)) shall be the same as those applicable to the Revolving Facility other than interest rate margins and commitment/facility fees, such terms and conditions which do not apply or relate to any then-existing Facility, terms that are only applicable to periods after the commitment termination date of the Revolving Facility or any other revolving Facility or other terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (iii) the Applicable Margin and commitment/facility fees relating to any Incremental Revolving Facility shall be as agreed by the Company and the Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Facility.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Any Incremental Term Facility shall not mature earlier than the Latest Maturity Date nor have a weighted average life to maturity which is shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of any then-outstanding Term Loans, (ii) the terms and conditions applicable to any Incremental Term Facility (other than with respect to the maturity, which shall be governed by the preceding clause (i) and as set forth below) shall be the same as those applicable to any then-outstanding Term Loans other than (w) the interest rate margins (subject to clause (iii) below) and original issue discount or upfront fees (if any), interest rate floors (if any), and amortization schedule (subject to clause (i) above) applicable to the Incremental Term Facilities, (x) terms that are only applicable to periods after the Latest Maturity Date, (y) terms and conditions which do not apply to any then-existing Facility and (z) other terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (iii) the interest rate margins and original issue discount or upfront fees, interest rate floors and currency shall be determined by the Company and the Lenders of the Incremental Term Facility.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.19, any Incremental Facility shall otherwise be on terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined by the Company and the Persons

------

willing to provide such Incremental Facility, <u>provided</u> that to the extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with the then existing Facilities (other than with respect to pricing, amortization and maturity and except as permitted by the preceding paragraphs (b) and (c)) they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (it being agreed that Incremental Term Facilities may contain customary mandatory prepayments, voting rights and prepayment premiums). Each notice from the Company pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Facility and the Lenders or other Persons willing to provide the Incremental Facility. Each Incremental Facility may be provided by any existing Lender or by any Eligible Assignee selected by the Company (any such other financial institution or fund being called an "<u>Additional Lender</u>"), <u>provided</u> that the Administrative Agent and, solely with respect to an increase in the Revolving Facility (and not any additional revolving facility), each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender, shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Lender's or Additional Lender's providing such Incremental Facility if such consent would be required under Section 10.6 for an assignment of Loans to such Lender or Additional Lender. Commitments in respect of Incremental Facilities shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an "<u>Incremental Amendment</u>") to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the applicable Borrower(s), each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.1(e) hereof. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Company, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.19. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an "<u>Incremental Facility Closing Date</u>") of each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (it being understood that all references to the date of making of an Extension of Credit or similar language in such Section 5.2 shall be deemed to refer to the effective date of such Incremental Amendment) and such other conditions as the parties thereto shall agree. The Borrowers will use the proceeds of the Incremental Facilities for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Facility, unless it so agrees. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to this paragraph.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.20&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Defaulting Lenders</u>. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;fees shall cease to accrue on the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.5(a);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Commitment and Revolving Extensions of Credit and Term Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 10.1), <u>provided</u> that (i) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (ii) any waiver, amendment or modification increasing the amount or extending the expiration date of such Defaulting Lender's Revolving Commitment, reducing the stated rate of any interest payable hereunder to such Defaulting Lender or extending the scheduled date of any payment thereof to such Defaulting Lender that would, absent this Section 2.20(b), require the consent of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.1 shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if any Swingline Exposure or L/C Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;all or any part of such Swingline Exposure (other than the portion of such Swingline Exposure referred to in clause (b) of the definitions of Swingline Alternative Currency Exposure and Swingline Dollar Exposure) and L/C Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages but only to the extent (x)(1) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders' Revolving Extensions of Credit plus such Defaulting Lender's Swingline Exposure (other than the portion of such Swingline Exposure referred to in clause (b) of the definitions of Swingline Alternative Currency Exposure and Swingline Dollar Exposure) and L/C Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders' Revolving Commitments and (2) each non-Defaulting Lender's Revolving Extensions of Credit plus its Revolving Percentage of such Defaulting Lender's Swingline Exposure (other than the portion of such Swingline Exposure referred to in clause (b) of the definitions of Swingline Alternative Currency Exposure and Swingline Dollar Exposure) and L/C Exposure does not exceed such non-Defaulting Lender's Revolving Commitment and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 are satisfied 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;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lender only such Defaulting Lender's L/C Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth the last paragraph of Section 8 for so long as such L/C Exposure is outstanding;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if the Company cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender's L/C Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.20(c), the Company shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.3 with respect to such Defaulting Lender's L/C Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender's L/C Exposure is cash collateralized;

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if the L/C Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.20(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.5(a) and Section 3.3 shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders' Revolving Percentages; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender's L/C Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.20(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any Lender hereunder, all facility fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender's Revolving Commitment that was utilized by such L/C Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 3.3 with respect to such Defaulting Lender's L/C Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Lender until such L/C Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Swingline Lender shall be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Company in accordance with Section 2.20(c), and participating interests in any such newly made Swingline Loans or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); 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;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.7 but excluding Section 10.1(c)) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) <u>first</u>, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) <u>second</u>, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender hereunder, (iii) <u>third</u>, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by an Issuing Lender, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of any existing or future participating interest in any Letter of Credit, (iv) <u>fourth</u>, to the funding of any Revolving Loan or Term Loan, as applicable, 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, (v) <u>fifth</u>, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of any Revolving Loans or Term Loans under this Agreement, (vi) <u>sixth</u>, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or an Issuing Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or such Issuing Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (vii) <u>seventh</u>, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and (viii) <u>eighth</u>, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, provided, with respect to this clause (viii), that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or Reimbursement Obligation under a Facility in respect of which a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders under such Facility pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender under such Facility.

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a parent company of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) any Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lender has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, no Swingline Lender shall be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Company or such Lender, satisfactory to each Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder; <u>provided</u> this paragraph shall not apply if the Swingline Exposure and L/C Exposure of such Lender is reallocated among non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateralized so that the Swingline Lenders and Issuing Lender do not have any risk in respect of such Lender.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Company, each Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and L/C Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender's Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its Revolving Percentage.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.21&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Extension Offers</u>. (a) The Company may, on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, make one or more offers (each, an "<u>Extension Offer</u>") to all the Lenders

------

of one or more Facilities (each Facility subject to such an Extension Offer, an "<u>Extension Request Facility</u>"), in each case to extend the final maturity date of such Lenders' respective Loans and commitments under such Facility to a later maturity date and to make one or more other Extension Permitted Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Company. Such Extension Offer shall set forth the terms and conditions of the requested Extension Permitted Amendments, the date on which the Extension Agreement (as defined below) is requested to become effective (which date shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent) and such other principal terms on which the Company proposes to enter into the Extension Agreement. Extension Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and commitments of the Lenders of the Extension Request Facility that accept the applicable Extension Offer (such Lenders, the "<u>Accepting Lenders</u>") and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender's Loans and commitments of such Extension Request Facility. No Lender shall have any obligation to accept any such Extension Offer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company, each Accepting Lender and the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver an amendment agreement (the "<u>Extension Agreement</u>") and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Extension Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof and such amendment will be effective to amend this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on the terms set forth therein without the consent of any other Lender; <u>provided</u> that no Extension Agreement may alter the rights of any Lender (other than the applicable Accepting Lenders) in any manner that would not be permitted under Section 10.1 without the consent of such Lender unless such consent shall have been obtained. The effectiveness of any Extension Agreement shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date of the effectiveness thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (it being understood that all references to the date of making of an Extension of Credit or similar language in such Section 5.2 shall be deemed to refer to the effective date of such Extension Agreement) and such other conditions as the parties thereto shall agree. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to this paragraph.

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of an Extension Agreement. Each Extension Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Accepting Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.21, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or commitments of the Accepting Lenders as a new "Facility" of loans and/or commitments hereunder; <u>provided</u> that, in the case of any Extension Offer relating to Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans, except as otherwise agreed to by each Issuing Lender and each applicable Swingline Lender, (i) the allocation of the participation exposure with respect to any then-existing or subsequently issued or made Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan under the applicable Facility as between the commitments of such new "Facility" and the remaining Revolving Commitments under the applicable Facility shall be made on a ratable basis as between the commitments of such new "Facility" and the remaining Revolving Commitments under such Facility and (ii) the Revolving Commitment Period and the Revolving Termination Date, as such terms are used in reference to Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans, may not be extended without the prior written consent of each applicable Issuing Lender and each applicable Swingline Lender, as applicable.

SECTION 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LETTERS OF CREDIT

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>L/C Commitment</u>. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of credit and bank guarantees in customary form (collectively, "<u>Letters of Credit</u>") for the

------

account of the Company (or jointly for the account of the Company and a Restricted Subsidiary) on any Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender; <u>provided</u> that the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the Dollar Equivalent of the Total L/C Limit, (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero, (iii) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of Alternative Currency Loans and Alternative Currency L/C Exposure would exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit or (iv) the L/C Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender would exceed such Issuing Lender's L/C Commitment. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars or, if approved by the Issuing Lender, an Alternative Currency and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) (1) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date or (2) the date that is one year after the Revolving Termination Date, <u>provided</u> that no later than the 60<sup>th</sup> day prior to the Revolving Termination Date (or for any Letters of Credit issued after such date, the date of issuance), the Company shall deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to 103% of the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit; <u>provided</u> that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law or if the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless otherwise expressly agreed by an Issuing Bank and the Borrowers when a Letter of Credit is issued by such Issuing Bank (including any such agreement applicable to an existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall be stated therein to apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall be stated therein to apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Issuing Bank shall be responsible to the Borrowers for, and such Issuing Bank's rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of such Issuing Bank required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the laws or any order of a jurisdiction where such Issuing Bank or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the International Chamber of Commerce Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade, or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such laws or practice rules.

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For all purposes of this Agreement, if on any date of determination a Letter of Credit has expired by its terms but any amount may still be drawn thereunder by reason of the operation of Article 29(a) of the UCP or Rule 3.13 or Rule 3.14 of the ISP or similar terms of the Letter of Credit itself, or if compliant documents have been presented but not yet honored, such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be "outstanding" and "undrawn" in the amount so remaining available to be paid, and the obligations of the Borrower and each Lender shall remain in full force and effect until the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall have no further obligations to make any payments or disbursements under any circumstances with respect to any Letter of Credit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit</u>. The Company may from time to time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Lender may request, including the currency in which such Letter of Credit is to be denominated. Upon receipt of any

------

Application, the Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days (or four Business Days in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender and the Company. The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Company promptly following the issuance thereof. The Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Fees and Other Charges</u>. (a) The Company will pay a fee on all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Term Benchmark Loans under the Revolving Facility, shared ratably among the Revolving Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition, the Company shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum on the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance 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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition to the foregoing fees, the Company shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit, including any losses to an Issuing Lender resulting from the use of the Exchange Rate hereunder (as compared to such Issuing Lender's spot rate of exchange in the interbank market where its foreign currency exchange operations in respect of such applicable Alternative Currency are then being conducted (calculated at the time that any applicable conversion based on the Exchange Rate is made hereunder)) in connection with any reimbursement by the Company, any payment by an L/C Participant to such Issuing Lender or any fronting fee paid by the Company to any Issuing Lender, in an amount equal to such difference (if any).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>L/C Participations</u>. (a) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant's own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant's Revolving Percentage in the Issuing Lender's obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (or in the event that any reimbursement received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by it at any time), such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Issuing Lender's address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant's Revolving Percentage of the amount that is not so reimbursed (or is so returned). Each L/C Participant's obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant may have against the Issuing Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrowers, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Borrower or any other L/C Participant or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility. A certificate of the Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of 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;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Company or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Reimbursement Obligation of the Company</u>. If any draft is paid under any Letter of Credit, the Company shall reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) the draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment, not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on (i) the second Business Day after the Company receives notice of such draft, if such notice is received on such day prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, or (ii) if clause (i) above does not apply, the second Business Day immediately following the day that the Company receives such notice. Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices referred to herein in Dollars (or, in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, in such Alternative Currency or in Dollars based on the Exchange Rate in effect on the date payment is made, as selected by the Issuing Lender) and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any such amounts in the applicable currency from the date on which the relevant draft is paid until payment in full at the rate set forth in (x) until the Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice, Section 2.11(b) and (y) thereafter, Section 2.11(f).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Obligations Absolute</u>. The Company's obligations to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided under this Section 3 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, any Application or this Agreement or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the respective Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) any other event or circumstances whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Company's obligations hereunder or (v) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the Company or any subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally. Neither the Administrative

------

Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Lender, nor any of their respective related parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any draft, document, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), errors in interpretation of technical terms, any error in translation or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the respective Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not be constructed to excuse an Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Lender's failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Letter of Credit Payments</u>. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall, upon examination of such draft promptly notify the Company of the date and amount thereof and whether it is has made, or intends to make a payment thereunder.

SECTION 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and the Lenders to make the Loans and issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, the Company (and, to the extent solely relating to any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, each such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower) hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>No Change</u>. Since December 31, 2024, there has been no development or event that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (it being agreed that solely for purposes of this Section 4.1 no change in automotive industry conditions or in banking, financial or capital markets on and after such date which does not disproportionately adversely affect the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, shall have a Material Adverse 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;4.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Existence; Compliance with Law</u>. Each Borrower (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (or the functional equivalent thereof in the case of Foreign Subsidiaries) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other organization and in good standing (or the functional equivalent thereof in the case of Foreign Subsidiaries) under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law, except in the case of (c) and (d) when the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse 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;4.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations</u>. Each Borrower has the power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of each Borrower, to obtain extensions of credit hereunder.

No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the extensions of credit hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents except consents, authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule 4.3, which consents, authorizations, filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Borrower party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Borrower party thereto, enforceable against each such Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at 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;4.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>No Legal Bar</u>. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of any Borrower and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this Section 9.3(b) 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;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a "<u>Payment Notice</u>") or (y) 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 Payment. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a 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 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 Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation 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;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Borrower hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Borrower except, in each case, to the extent such Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Payment that is, comprised of funds of any 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;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each party's obligations under this Section 9.3(b) 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 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;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Credit Parties acknowledge that there may be a constant flow of information (including information which may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrowers) between the Borrowers and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and its Affiliates, on the other hand. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrowers or their Affiliates may provide information, including updates to previously provided information to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and/or its Affiliates acting in different capacities, including as Lender, lead bank, arranger or potential securities investor, independent of such entity's role as administrative agent hereunder. The Credit Parties acknowledge that JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. nor its Affiliates shall be under any obligation to provide any of the foregoing information to them.. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the other Credit Parties by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide, and shall not be liable for the failure to provide, any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the Loans, the other Credit Parties, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to, obtained by, or in the possession of, the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity, including any information obtained by the Administrative Agent in the course of communications among the Administrative Agent and any Borrower, any Affiliate thereof or any other Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such information may (but shall not be required to) be shared by the Administrative Agent with one or more Credit Parties, or any formal or informal committee or ad hoc group of such Credit Parties, including at the direction of a 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;9.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Reliance by Administrative Agent</u>. The Administrative Agent and its Related Parties shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, facsimile or email message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and its Related Parties may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and its Related Parties shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent and its Related Parties shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the 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;9.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Notice of Default</u>. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or any Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or

------

Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default". In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement); <u>provided</u> that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as they shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders</u>. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Borrower or any Affiliate of a Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent 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 appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and their Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Borrower or any Affiliate of a Borrower that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Indemnification</u>. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties (each, an "<u>Agent Indemnitee</u>") (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; <u>provided</u> that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent Indemnitee's bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable 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;9.8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Agent in Its Individual Capacity</u>. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.9&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Successor Administrative Agent</u>. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days' notice to the Lenders and the Company. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term "Administrative Agent" shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent's rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 and of Section 10.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Execution of Loan Documents</u>. The Lenders hereby empower and authorize the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, to execute and deliver to the Borrowers the other Loan Documents and all related agreements, certificates, documents, or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any intercreditor agreement contemplated hereby. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement) of their respective powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.11&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>No Other Duties</u>. None of the Arrangers, the Joint Bookrunners, the Co-Documentation Agents or the Syndication Agents identified on the cover page of the Agreement shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in their capacities as such.

SECTION 10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MISCELLANEOUS

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Amendments and Waivers</u>. (a) Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1 or as otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement or other Loan Document. The Required Lenders and each Borrower party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Borrower party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Borrowers hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of

------

this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, extend the scheduled date of any principal amortization payment in respect of any Term Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except (x) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders), (y) in connection with the waiver or extension of any mandatory prepayment hereunder and (z) that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender's Revolving Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (ii) except in connection with a transaction permitted hereunder, consent to the assignment or transfer by any Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders; (iii) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of "Required Lenders," "Majority Facility Lenders " or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected; (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9 or any other provision of any Loan Document that affects the Administrative Agent without the written consent of the Administrative Agent; (v) except as provided herein, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.2 or 2.3 without the written consent of each Swingline Lender; (vi) release the Company from its obligations set forth under Section 11 without the consent of all Lenders; (vii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.14 or Section 10.7(a) without the consent of all Lenders; or (viii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3 without the written consent of each Issuing Lender. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. Not withstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this paragraph, this Agreement may be amended pursuant to an Incremental Amendment in accordance with Section 2.19.

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding the foregoing, Schedule 1.1B may be amended as follows:

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Schedule 1.1B may be amended, following at least five Business Days prior notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, to add Wholly Owned Subsidiaries of the Company organized in jurisdictions reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as additional Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers upon (A) execution and delivery by the Company, any such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower and the Administrative Agent of a Joinder Agreement providing for any such Subsidiary to become a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, and (B) delivery to the Administrative Agent of (I) a Foreign Subsidiary Opinion in respect of such additional Foreign Subsidiary Borrower (including as to the applicability of any withholding Taxes) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (II) all documentation and other information required by regulatory authorities under applicable "know your customer" and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA Patriot Act and (III) such other documents with respect thereto as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.; <u>provided</u> that, Schedule 1.1B shall not be amended if any Lender notifies the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing within three Business Days of receipt of such notice that it has determined in good faith that any commitment to extend credit, or the extension of credit, by such Lender to such proposed Foreign Subsidiary Borrower would violate any Requirements of Law applicable to such Lender.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Schedule 1.1B may be amended to remove any Subsidiary as a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower upon (A) execution and delivery by the Company of a written amendment providing for such amendment and (B) repayment in full of all outstanding Loans of such Foreign Subsidiary 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;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Administrative Agent agrees to promptly notify the Lenders of any amendment effected pursuant to this Section 10.1(b) (via IntraLinks or such other communication permitted 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;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company shall be permitted to replace any Lender that requests, on behalf of itself or any Participant with respect to which the applicable Borrower has provided its consent for the payment of greater amounts pursuant to Section 10.6(c)(i), any payment under Section 2.15 or 2.16 or that does not consent to any proposed amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, amendments to Schedule 1.1B) or any other Loan Document that requires the consent of each of the Lenders or each of the Lenders affected thereby (so long as the consent of the Required Lenders has been obtained) or any Lender that becomes a Defaulting Lender or an Affected Lender, or any Lender that does not accept any Extension Offer or any Lender under a Refinanced Facility that does not participate in the applicable Replacement Facility, with a replacement financial institution; <u>provided</u> that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (iii) the Company shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.17 if any Term Benchmark Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (iv) the replacement financial institution shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender, if any, under the applicable Facility, (v) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (<u>provided</u> that the Company shall be obligated to pay the processing and recordation fee referred to therein) or in accordance with other procedures established by the Administrative Agent (which may include a deemed assignment by the replaced Lender rather than execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption) and (vi) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Company, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended or amended and restated (x) with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Company and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all or a portion of the Loans outstanding under an Incremental Term Facility or any prior Replacement Facility ("<u>Refinanced Term Loans</u>") with a replacement term loan tranche hereunder which shall be Loans hereunder ("<u>Replacement Term Loans</u>"); <u>provided</u> that (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans, (ii) the weighted average life to maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing and (iii) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing, such Replacement Term Loans than those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the Latest Maturity Date and (y) with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Company and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Revolving Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of any Refinanced Term Loans or the Revolving Facility ("<u>Refinanced Revolving Facility</u>" and collectively with Refinanced Term Loans, "<u>Refinanced Facilities</u>") with a replacement revolving facility hereunder ("<u>Replacement Revolving Facility</u>" and collectively with Replacement Term Loans, "<u>Replacement Facilities</u>"); <u>provided</u> that (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Revolving Facility shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans or such Refinanced Revolving

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement, including this Section 10.1, and the other Loan Documents may be amended (or amended and restated) pursuant to Section 2.19 in order to add any Incremental Facility to this Agreement and (a) to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement (including the rights of the lenders under Incremental Facility to share ratably with the Revolving Facility in prepayments pursuant to Sections 2.7 and 2.8) and the other Loan Documents with the Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof, (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facility in any determination of the Required Lenders and (c) to amend other provision of the Loan Documents so that the Incremental Facility is appropriately incorporated (including this Section 10.1).

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.1, the Administrative Agent and the Company, in their sole discretion, may amend, modify or supplement any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to amend, modify or supplement such provision or cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, error, defect or inconsistency, so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not directly and adversely affect the obligations of any Lender or Issuing Lender. Such amendments shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to 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;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the consent of the Company, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Swingline Lenders in order to increase the Swingline Alternative Currency Limit and the Swingline Dollar Limit (to the extent set forth in the respective definitions thereof) and the related Swingline Alternative Currency Commitments and Swingline Dollar Commitments.

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below and subject to paragraph (a)(iii) above, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees, other than an Ineligible Institution, (each, an "<u>Assignee</u>") all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), <u>provided</u> that no consent of the Company shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; and <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless the Company shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having received notice thereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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;(C)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;any Swingline Lender; <u>provided</u> that no consent of any Swingline Lender shall be required for an assignment of Term 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;(D)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;any Issuing Lender; <u>provided</u> that no consent of any Issuing Lender shall be required for an assignment of 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;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless the Administrative Agent and the Company otherwise consent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and (2) the assigning Lender shall have paid in full any amounts owing by it to the Administrative Agent; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in which the Assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrowers and their Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee's compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement,

------

such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 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 and to the extent permitted by paragraph (c) 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;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "<u>Register</u>"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available electronically for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee's completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a "<u>Participant</u>"), other than an Ineligible Institution, in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); <u>provided</u> that (A) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; <u>provided</u> that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 10.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to the requirements and limitations of, Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; <u>provided</u> that such Participant agrees in writing to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.18 and Section 10.1(c) as if it were a Lender. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender, <u>provided</u> such Participant shall be subject to Section 10.7(a) 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;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the applicable Borrower's prior written consent, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from an adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or

------

in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless such Participant complies with Sections 2.16(e), (f), (g) and (h) as if it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under those Sections 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;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event that any Lender sells a participation in a Loan, such Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of all participants in the Loans held by it and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of the Loan which is the subject of the participation (the "<u>Participation Register</u>"); <u>provided</u> that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participation Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant's interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Revolving Commitment, Revolving Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. A Loan may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participation Register. Any transfer of such participation may be effected only by the Registration of such transfer on the Participation Register. The entries in the Participation Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error and such Lender shall treat such participants whose name is recorded in the Participation Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Participation Register shall be available for inspection by the Administrative Agent at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; <u>provided</u> that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 10.6(b) (but with regard to the requirements set forth in Section 10.6(b)(iv)). Each of the Borrowers, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; <u>provided</u>, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

(a) Except to the extent that this Agreement, any other Loan Document or a court order expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or Lenders (including assignments made pursuant to Section 10.6), if any Lender (a "<u>Benefited Lender</u>") shall, at any time after the Loans and other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable pursuant to Section 8, receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it in a greater proportion than any such payment to any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of the Lenders; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrowers, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any Obligations becoming due and payable by a Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such Obligations any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but not any trust or fiduciary account), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of such Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, <u>provided</u> that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Counterparts</u>. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by email or facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of an originally executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Company 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;10.9&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Severability</u>. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Integration</u>. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other 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;10.11&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>GOVERNING LAW</u>. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.12&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers</u>. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of (i) any State or Federal court of competent jurisdiction sitting in New York County, New York; and (ii) appellate courts from any thereof, or, to the extent such courts lack subject matter jurisdiction, the Courts of the State of New York, located in the County of New York; <u>provided</u>, that nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document will prevent any Lender or the Administrative Agent from bringing any action to enforce any award or judgment or exercise any right against any property of any Borrower in any other forum in which jurisdiction can be established;

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim 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;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; 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;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.13&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Acknowledgements</u>. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other 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;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Joint Bookrunners, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Syndication Agents nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Joint Bookrunners, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Syndication Agents and the Lenders, on one hand, and the Borrowers, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(a) Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Borrower, the Administrative Agent or

------

any Lender pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement that is designated by the provider thereof as confidential; <u>provided</u> that nothing herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any affiliate thereof, (b) subject to an agreement to comply with the provisions of this Section, to any actual or prospective Transferee or any direct or indirect counterparty to any Swap Agreement (or any professional advisors to such counterparty), (c) to its affiliates, employees, officers, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors or those of any of its affiliates, <u>provided</u> that such Persons have been advised of the confidentiality provisions hereof and are subject thereto, (d) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority, (e) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (f) if requested or required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (g) that has been publicly disclosed, (h) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender's investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender, (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (j) to any insurance provider relating to such Lender's obligations hereunder, or (k) with the consent of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Lender acknowledges that information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may include material non-public information concerning each Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information about each Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities. Accordingly, each Lender represents to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that it has identified in its administrative questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The obligation of each Borrower hereunder or in respect of the Letters of Credit to make payments in a currency (the "<u>Agreement Currency</u>") shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the "<u>Judgment Currency</u>") other than the Agreement Currency, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may in

------

accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the Agreement Currency, the applicable Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and each Lender (as an alternative or additional cause of action) against such loss (if any) and if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the Agreement Currency, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to remit such excess to the applicable Borrower. The obligations of each Borrower contained in this Section 10.16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing 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;10.17&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL</u>. THE BORROWERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.18&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>USA Patriot Act</u>. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the "Patriot Act"), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Patriot Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.19&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Power of Attorney</u>. Each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereby grants to the Company an irrevocable power of attorney to act as its attorney-in-fact with regard to matters relating to this Agreement and each other Loan Document, including, without limitation, execution and delivery of any amendments, supplements, waivers or other modifications hereto or thereto, receipt of any notices hereunder or thereunder and receipt of service of process in connection herewith or therewith. Each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereby explicitly acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and each Lender have executed and delivered this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party, and has performed its obligations under this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party, in reliance upon the irrevocable grant of such power of attorney pursuant to this Section. The power of attorney granted by each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereunder is coupled with an interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.20&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Several Obligations</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall be liable for any payments on the Term Loans, any other Loans made to the Company or any Letters of Credit issued hereunder (or any Obligations related to the foregoing) and no Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall be liable for any indemnities, additional amounts, breakage, costs and expenses that do not solely relate to the Loans made to a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower (it being understood that the Company shall be solely liable for all such indemnities, additional amounts, breakage, costs and expenses). In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the liability of each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower for the performance of its covenants, representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be several from but not joint with the Obligations of any other Borrower (including the Company); and any cash collateral posted by any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall not secure or be applied in satisfaction, by way of payment, prepayment or otherwise, of all or any portion of the Obligations of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.21&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document 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;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the effects of any Bail-In Action on any 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;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

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

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
