&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)In accordance with Section 13.1(f) of the Existing Credit Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) each Additional Refinancing Term Loan Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees to make Replacement Term Loans (constituting 2025-1 Refinancing Term Loans) to the Borrowers on the Amendment Effective Date in Dollars in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed its 2025-1 Refinancing Term Loan Commitment; and (ii) pursuant to its Converting Term Loan Lender Consent, each Cashless Settlement Term Loan Lender hereby (x) severally, but not jointly, agrees to convert and/or continue, on a cashless basis, its Existing Term Loans as 2025-1 Refinancing Term Loans on the Amendment Effective Date in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Cashless Settlement Term Loan Lender's Cashless Settlement Allocated Amount (the cashless conversion and/or continuation of such Existing Term Loans pursuant to this clause (x), collectively, the "**Cashless Rollover**") and receive in cash on the Amendment Effective Date all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of its Existing Term Loans and (y) waives any right to receive its share of the cash prepayment of Existing Term Loans referred to in this <u>Section 2(a)</u> with the proceeds of the Replacement Term Loans, solely to the extent of its Continuing Term Loans.

Each reference in the Amended Credit Agreement to any 2025-1 Refinancing Term Loan Lender's "2025-1 Refinancing Term Loan Commitment" shall mean its 2025-1 Refinancing Term Loan Commitment as provided pursuant to this Amendment and as set forth opposite such 2025-1 Refinancing Term Loan Lender's name on <u>Schedule 1.1(b)</u> hereto under the heading "2025-1 Refinancing Term Loan Commitments".

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parent Borrower hereby instructs and directs the Administrative Agent to apply the proceeds of the Additional Refinancing Term Loans to the prepayment of the Existing Term Loans (other than the Continuing Term Loans).

Notwithstanding anything in the Existing Credit Agreement to the contrary, the 2025-1 Refinancing Term Loans (including any Continuing Term Loans) (x) shall be funded as Term SOFR Loans with an initial Interest Period ending on the date specified in the Notice of Borrowing delivered pursuant to <u>Section 5(d)</u> and continued in accordance with <u>clause (f)</u> below (and notwithstanding any other provision of the Existing Credit Agreement that would prohibit such an initial Interest Period) and (y) shall not accrue interest for any period prior to the Amendment Effective Date, and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay interest on the 2025-1 Refinancing Term Loans pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement for any period prior to the Amendment Effective Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)The continuation and/or conversion of the Continuing Term Loans as set forth in clause (a) above shall be deemed to constitute new "Borrowings" under the Amended Credit Agreement and such new Borrowings shall be allocated ratably to the outstanding Borrowings of Existing Term Loans (based upon the relative principal amounts of Borrowings of Existing Term Loans). The 2025-1 Refinancing Term Loans (other than Continuing Term Loans) shall be allocated ratably to repay outstanding Borrowings of Existing Term Loans that are not Continuing Term Loans (based upon the relative principal amounts of Borrowings of such Existing Term Loans) and shall be allocated ratably to such outstanding deemed Borrowings of Continuing Term Loans based upon the relative principal amounts of such deemed Borrowings of Continuing Term Loans on the Amendment Effective Date after giving effect to the foregoing provisions of this <u>Section 2</u>. Each such Borrowing of 2025-1 Refinancing Term Loans (other than Continuing Term Loans) shall be added to (and made a part of) the related deemed Borrowing of Continuing Term Loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)The Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each 2025-1 Refinancing Term Loan Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that (x) the 2025-1 Refinancing Term Loans shall constitute "Replacement Term Loans" pursuant to Section 13.1(f) of the Existing Credit Agreement and (y) together with the Notice of Borrowing and the Prepayment Notice delivered pursuant to <u>Section 5(d)</u> of this Amendment, this Amendment constitutes all notices or other requirements required under the Existing Credit Agreement and the Administrative Agent and each such Lender waives any other notice or request requirement under the Existing Credit Agreement. Upon the incurrence of the 2025-1 Refinancing Term Loans pursuant to the 2025-1 Refinancing Term Loan Commitments on the Amendment Effective Date, the 2025-1 Refinancing Term Loans shall constitute "Term Loans", "Replacement Term Loans" and "Loans" for all purposes of the Amended Credit Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)Promptly following the Amendment Effective Date, all promissory notes, if any, evidencing the Existing Term Loans shall be cancelled and returned to the Parent Borrower, and any 2025-1 Refinancing Term Loan Lender may request that its 2025-1 Refinancing Term Loan be evidenced by a promissory note pursuant to Section 2.5(g) of the Amended Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Existing Credit Agreement or the Amended Credit Agreement, each Lender party hereto (including each Converting Term Loan Lender) hereby waives any claim for any loss, cost or expense due and payable to it pursuant to Section 2.11 of the Existing Credit Agreement (or otherwise) in connection with the Refinancing and the other Transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 3*.

------

Liens granted pursuant to any Credit Document, and such Liens continue unimpaired with the same priority to secure repayment of all Obligations, whether heretofore or hereafter incurred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of, or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, all of which, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified hereby, are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle any Credit Party to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document in similar or different circumstances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Without limiting the foregoing, the Parent Borrower (i) acknowledges and agrees that each Credit Document to which it is a party is hereby confirmed and ratified and shall remain in full force and effect according to its respective terms (in the case of the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended hereby) and (ii) reaffirms its obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended hereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Each reference to "hereof", "hereunder", "herein" and "hereby" and each other similar reference and each reference to "this Agreement" and each other similar reference contained in the Existing Credit Agreement shall, after the Amendment Effective Date, refer to the Existing Credit Agreement as amended hereby, and the term "Credit Agreement" as used in any Credit Document shall mean the Existing Credit Agreement as amended hereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)This Amendment shall constitute a "Credit Document" for purposes of the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)This Amendment constitutes all notices or other requirements required under the Existing Credit Agreement in connection with the transactions set forth herein, and the Administrative Agent and each Lender party hereto waive any other notice or request requirement under the Existing Credit Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.4<u>Rounding</u>. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by any Credit Party pursuant to this Agreement (or required to be satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted under this Agreement) shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number.

#101458425v1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

respect to the amount of any Indebtedness, Permitted Investment, Restricted Investment, Lien, Asset Sale or Restricted Payment in a currency other than Dollars, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness, Lien, Permitted Investment or Restricted Investment is incurred or Asset Sale or Restricted Payment made; <u>provided</u> that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions of this <u>Section 1.6</u> shall otherwise apply to such Sections, including with respect to determining whether any Indebtedness, Lien, or Investment may be incurred or Asset Sale or Restricted Payment made at any time under such Sections. For purposes of any determination of Consolidated Total Debt, Consolidated Secured Debt or Consolidated First Lien Secured Debt, amounts in currencies other than Dollars shall be translated into Dollars at the currency exchange rates used in preparing the most recently delivered Section 9.1 Financials.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify with the Parent Borrower's consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) to appropriately reflect a change in currency of any country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to such change in currency.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)The Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent amounts of Revolving Credit Loans or Letter of Credit extensions denominated in Available Currencies (other than Dollars). Such Dollar Equivalent shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Dollar Equivalent of such amounts until the next Revaluation Date to occur.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.7<u>No Warranty With Respect to Rates</u>. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to ABR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR, Eurocurrency Rate or Daily Simple RFR or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any USD Benchmark Replacement or Successor Foreign Currency Benchmark), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any USD Benchmark Replacement or Successor Foreign Currency Benchmark) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, ABR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR, any other USD Benchmark, Eurocurrency Rate or Daily Simple RFR prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any USD Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of ABR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, Eurocurrency Rate, Daily Simple RFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any USD Benchmark Replacement or Successor Foreign Currency Benchmark) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Parent Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain ABR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, any other USD Benchmark, Eurocurrency Rate or Daily Simple RFR, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Parent 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.8<u>Times of Day</u>. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to New York City time (daylight or standard, as applicable).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.9<u>Timing of Payment or Performance</u>. Except as otherwise provided herein, when the payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty, or obligation is stated to be due or performance required on (or before) a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment (other than as described in the definition of Interest Period) or performance shall extend to the immediately

#101458425v1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.10<u>Certifications</u>. All certifications to be made hereunder by an officer or representative of a Credit Party shall be made by such a Person in his or her capacity solely as an officer or a representative of such Credit Party, on such Credit Party's behalf and not in such Person's individual capacity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.11<u>Classification and Reclassification; Certain Incurrences; Limited Condition Transactions</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)In the event that any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock, Non-Guarantor Subsidiary Preferred Stock, Lien, fundamental change, disposition, Investment, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment, Affiliate transaction or other transaction meets the criteria of one or more than one of the categories of transactions then permitted pursuant to any clause, subsection or other portion (including the definition of Permitted Investment, Permitted Lien or any other component definition) of <u>Section 9.9</u> or <u>Section 10.1</u>, <u>10.2</u>, <u>10.3</u>, <u>10.4</u> or <u>10.5</u> then the Parent Borrower, in its sole discretion, may from time to time, classify or reclassify such item (or portion thereof) under one or more clauses, subsections or other portions of each such Section and will only be required to include the amount and type of such item (or portion thereof) in any one category; <u>provided</u> that, upon delivery or, at the election of the Parent Borrower, internal availability of any Section 9.1 Financials, if any such item (or portion thereof) could, based on such Section 9.1 Financials, have been incurred in reliance on an Incurrence-Based Provision thereof, such item (or portion thereof) shall, unless the Parent Borrower otherwise elects, automatically be reclassified as having been incurred under such Incurrence-Based Provision (in each case subject to the other requirements thereof); <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that the Obligations outstanding under this Agreement shall be deemed to have been incurred in reliance on <u>clause (a)</u> of <u>Section 10.1</u> (and the Liens securing the Obligations outstanding under this Agreement shall be deemed to have been incurred in reliance on <u>clause (vi)</u> of the definition of "Permitted Liens"), and in no event shall the Obligations outstanding under this Agreement (or the Liens securing the Obligations outstanding under this Agreement) be subject to reclassification contrary thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless the Parent Borrower otherwise notifies the Administrative Agent, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or financial test (excluding any "grower" prong as a "financial test" for this purpose but including any incurrence of Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility, including hereunder) (any such amounts, the "**Fixed Amounts**") substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with a financial ratio or financial test (any such amounts or transactions, the "**Incurrence-Based Provision**"), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence-Based Provision; <u>provided</u>, that in furtherance of the foregoing, in calculating any Incurrence-Based Provision, the amount of any Revolving Loans borrowed substantially concurrently shall be disregarded.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the calculation of the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Secured Net Leverage Ratio, Total Net Leverage Ratio or Interest Coverage Ratio;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)testing availability under baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)the absence of any Default or Event of Default; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)the accuracy of any representation and warranty;

in each case, at the option of the Parent Borrower (the Parent Borrower's election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an "**LCT Election**"), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be (A) in the case of any acquisition or similar Investment or any disposition and any transaction related thereto, at the time of (or on the basis

#101458425v1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) either (x) the execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such acquisition, Investment or disposition (or, solely in connection with an acquisition, consolidation or business combination to which the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers applies, the date on which a "Rule 2.7 Announcement" of a firm intention to make an offer is made) or (y) the consummation of such acquisition, Investment or disposition, (B) in the case of any Restricted Payment, at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) (x) the declaration of such Restricted Payment or (y) the making of such Restricted Payment and (C) in the case of any Restricted Debt Payment, at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) (x) delivery of notice with respect to such Restricted Debt Payment or (y) the making of such Restricted Debt Payment (the applicable date so elected, the "**LCT Test Date**"), and, in each case if, after giving Pro Forma Effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ending prior to the LCT Test Date, the Credit Parties could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with, and if no such Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such date, and such representation and/or warranty shall be true and correct (giving effect to applicable qualifiers) at such time (or the applicable time for the determination thereof), then such requirement shall be deemed satisfied not withstanding any subsequent breach thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Parent Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets of the Credit Parties or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If the Parent Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket availability with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, or the making of Restricted Payments, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Credit Parties, the prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other satisfaction of Indebtedness, or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this paragraph shall also apply in respect of the incurrence of any Incremental Loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.12<u>Pro Forma and Other Calculations</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Unless expressly provided otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio, the Interest Coverage Ratio, Consolidated Net Income, Consolidated EBITDA and any similar financial metric or test hereunder shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis. In addition, except for purposes of (i) determining the Applicable Margin or the Commitment Fee Rate for any Test Period or (ii) determining actual compliance with <u>Section 10.7</u> for any Test Period, any event or matter described in the definition of "Pro Forma Basis" occurring after the last day of the applicable Test Period and on or prior to the date of determination may, at the election of the Parent Borrower, also be given Pro Forma Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Whenever Pro Forma Effect is to be given to a transaction or any financial metric or test is to be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, the *pro forma* calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Parent Borrower (and may include, for the avoidance of

#101458425v1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

doubt and without duplication, cost savings, and operating expense reductions resulting from the Investment, acquisition, merger, or consolidation which is being given Pro Forma Effect that have been or are expected to be realized; <u>provided</u> that such cost savings and operating expense reductions are made in compliance with the definition of Consolidated EBITDA).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this <u>Section 1.12</u> or in any classification under GAAP of any Person, business, assets or operations in respect of which a definitive agreement for the disposition thereof has been entered into as discontinued operations, no Pro Forma Effect shall be given to any discontinued operations (and the Consolidated EBITDA attributable to any such Person, business, assets or operations shall not be excluded for any purposes hereunder) until such disposition shall have been consummated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.13<u>Additional Borrowers</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Notwithstanding anything in <u>Section 13.1</u> to the contrary, following the Closing Date, the Parent Borrower may request that one or more of its Subsidiaries that is a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary and that is a U.S. Subsidiary be added as an additional Borrower (the "**Additional Revolving Borrower**") under the Revolving Credit Facility by delivering to the Administrative Agent an Additional Borrower Agreement executed by such Subsidiary and the Parent Borrower. Such Subsidiary shall for all purposes of this Agreement be a Borrower hereunder no earlier than the latest of (i) ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may in its discretion agree) after delivery of such Additional Borrower Agreement; (ii) ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent of such documentation and other information reasonably requested by the Lenders or the Administrative Agent for purposes of complying with all necessary "know your customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations provided that there has been no written objection submitted by any of the Revolving Credit Lenders or the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days of the date of receipt of such documentation and other information; and (iii) if the applicable Additional Revolving Borrower is organized or incorporated in or under the laws of, or for applicable Tax purposes is resident of or treated as engaged in a trade or business in, any jurisdiction other than a jurisdiction in or under the laws of which at least one then-existing Borrower is organized or incorporated as of the date the Additional Borrower Agreement is delivered to the Administrative Agent, the date of the effectiveness of an amendment of this Agreement, which amendment must be as mutually agreed by the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower, such Additional Revolving Borrower and each affected Lender (including any amendment to applicable Tax provisions); <u>provided</u> that (x) each Additional Revolving Borrower shall also be a Guarantor and (y) the Administrative Agent shall have received (A) all documents, updated schedules, instruments, certificates and agreements, and all other actions and information, then required by or in respect of such Additional Revolving Borrower by <u>Section 9.11</u> or by the Security Documents (without giving effect to any grace periods for delivery of such items, the updating of such information or the taking of such actions) and (B) documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent pursuant to which each then-existing Borrower and Guarantor unconditionally Guarantees the Borrowings of the Additional Revolving Borrower on terms substantially consistent with the Guarantors' Guarantee of the Parent Borrower's obligations hereunder. Any obligations in respect of borrowings by any Borrower under this Agreement will constitute "Obligations" for all purposes of the Credit Documents. Promptly following receipt of any Additional Borrower Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall send a copy thereof to each Lender. As set forth in <u>Section 1.13</u>, the foregoing procedures shall apply (*mutatis mutandis*) with respect to the addition of a "borrower" with respect to New Term Loans and New Term Loan Commitments, substituting such New Term Loan Lender and the Administrative Agent as the applicable consent parties for purposes of "know your customer" and similar checks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably appoints the Parent Borrower as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for the Credit Parties, which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by all of the Credit Parties that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed in such capacity. Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Parent Borrower (or its successor) (i) to provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and receive from the Administrative Agent and the Lenders all notices with respect to Loans or Letters of Credit obtained for the benefit of any Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement and (ii) to take such action as the Parent Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf

#101458425v1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

to obtain Loans and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.14<u>Additional Currencies</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Parent Borrower may from time to time request that Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other than those specifically referred to in the definition of Available Currencies; <u>provided</u> that such requested currency is a lawful currency that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars. Such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer in its sole discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Any such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), ten (10) Business Days prior to the issue date of the desired Letter of Credit (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer in their sole discretion). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Letter of Credit Issuer in the case of any such request. Each Letter of Credit Issuer shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) five (5) Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Any failure by a Letter of Credit Issuer to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Letter of Credit Issuer to permit Letters of Credit to be issued in such requested currency. If the Administrative Agent and any Letter of Credit Issuer consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the applicable Borrower and the Parent Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be a permitted currency for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances by such Letter of Credit Issuer. If the Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this <u>Section 1.14</u>, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Parent Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.15<u>Divisions</u>. For all purposes under the Credit Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction's laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.16<u>Benchmark Replacements</u>.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Replacing Current and Future USD Benchmarks</u>. Upon the occurrence of a USD Benchmark Transition Event, the USD Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current USD Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Credit Document in respect of any USD Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5<sup>th</sup>) Business Day after the date notice of such USD Benchmark Replacement is provided to the affected Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such USD Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Facility Lenders of the affected Classes (taken collectively). If the USD Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis. At any time that the administrator of the then-current USD Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such USD Benchmark or such USD Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such USD Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such USD Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Parent Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such USD Benchmark until the Parent Borrower's receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that a USD Benchmark Replacement has replaced such USD Benchmark, and, failing that, the Parent Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of ABR based upon the USD Benchmark will not be used in any determination of ABR.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations</u>. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the affected Lenders of (i) the implementation of any USD Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any USD Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) or the Parent Borrower pursuant to this <u>Section 1.16</u>, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this <u>Section 1.16</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Unavailability of Tenor of USD Benchmark</u>.

Each such conversion or continuation shall be effected by the applicable Borrower or the Parent Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent notice at the Administrative Agent's Office prior to 12:00 noon (New York City time) at least (i) three Business Days prior, in the case of a continuation of or conversion to Term SOFR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans (other than in the case of a notice delivered on the Closing Date, which shall be deemed to be effective on the Closing Date), or (ii) prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day in the case of a conversion into ABR Loans (each such notice, a "**Notice of Conversion or Continuation**" substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit K</u>) specifying the Loans to be so converted or continued, the Type of Loans to be converted or continued into and, if such Loans are to be converted into or continued as Term SOFR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. Any such notice may be conditioned on the occurrence of any specified transaction and, if such specified transaction does not occur as intended, such notice may be revoked or amended by the Parent Borrower. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Term SOFR Loan or Eurocurrency Loan, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration. The Administrative Agent shall give each applicable Lender notice as promptly as practicable of any such proposed conversion or continuation affecting any of its Loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)If any Event of Default is in existence at the time of any proposed continuation of any Term SOFR Loans and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation, such Term SOFR Loans shall be automatically converted on the last day of the current Interest Period into ABR Loans. If upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of Term SOFR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, the applicable Borrower has failed to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable thereto as provided in <u>clause (a)</u>, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to continue such Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans with an Interest Period of one month's duration, effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in <u>Section 2.10(a)(i)(x)</u>, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Parent Borrower and the affected Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under <u>clause (x)</u> of the first sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, (2) the Administrative Agent or the affected Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower written notice thereof.

Nothing in this <u>Section 2.12</u> shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrowers or the right of any Lender provided in <u>Sections 2.10</u>, 3.5 or <u>5.4</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.13<u>Notice of Certain Costs</u>. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any notice required by <u>Sections 2.10</u>, <u>2.11</u> or <u>3.5</u> is given by any Lender more than 180 days after such Lender has knowledge (or should have had knowledge) of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, or other additional amounts described in such Sections, such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation under <u>Sections 2.10</u>, <u>2.11</u> or 3.5, as the case may be, for any such amounts incurred or accruing prior to the 181st day prior to the giving of notice to the applicable Borrower; <u>provided</u> that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Execution of Credit Documents</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)If any Borrower and a Revolving Credit Lender agree, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, such Revolving Credit Lender may provide an Ancillary Facility on a bilateral basis in place of all or part of such Revolving Credit Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment (which shall be reduced by the amount of such Ancillary Commitment under such

Ancillary Facility); <u>provided</u> that after giving effect to such Ancillary Facility, the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the Ancillary Lenders' Ancillary Commitments shall not exceed the Ancillary Facility Sublimit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)An Ancillary Facility shall not be made available unless, not later than three Business Days prior to the Ancillary Commencement Date for such Ancillary Facility, the Administrative Agent has received:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A)a notice from the Parent Borrower in writing of the establishment of an Ancillary Facility and specifying: (A) the proposed Borrower(s) (or Subsidiary Ancillary Borrower(s)) which may use the Ancillary Facility, (B) the proposed Ancillary Commencement Date and expiration date of the Ancillary Facility, (C) the proposed type of Ancillary Facility to be provided, (D) the proposed Ancillary Lender, (E) the proposed Ancillary Commitment, the maximum amount of the Ancillary Facility and, if the Ancillary Facility is an overdraft facility comprising more than one account its maximum Gross Outstandings (that amount being the "**Designated Gross Amount**") and its maximum Net Outstandings (that amount being the "**Designated Net Amount**"), and (F) the proposed currency of the Ancillary Facility;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B)if the proposed Ancillary Lender is not already bound by the terms of this Agreement as an Ancillary Lender, a written notice from the Ancillary Lender agreeing to be bound by this Agreement as an Ancillary Lender in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (acting reasonably);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C)[reserved]; and

No amendment or waiver of a term of any Ancillary Facility shall require the consent of any Agent or Lender other than the relevant Ancillary Lender unless such amendment or waiver itself relates to or gives rise to a matter which would require an amendment or waiver of or under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, under this <u>Section 2.16(b)</u>). In such a case, the provisions of this Agreement with regard to amendments and waivers will apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)Subject to compliance with <u>clauses (i)</u> and <u>(ii)</u> of this <u>Section 2.16(b)</u> and the definition of "Ancillary Lender": (i) the proposed Ancillary Lender will become an Ancillary Lender; and (ii) the Ancillary Facility will be available, with the effect from the date agreed by the relevant Borrower and the proposed Ancillary Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Terms of Ancillary Facilities</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)However, those terms: (i) must be based upon market commercial terms at that time (except as varied by this Agreement); (ii) may allow only Borrowers (or Subsidiary Ancillary Borrower(s) nominated pursuant to <u>Section 2.16(k)</u> hereof) to use such Ancillary Facility, (iii) may not allow the Ancillary Outstandings under such Ancillary Facility to exceed the Ancillary Commitment applicable to such Ancillary Facility, (iv) may not allow the Ancillary Commitment of a Revolving Credit Lender to exceed the Available Commitment of such

#101458425v1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

Revolving Credit Lender; and (v) must require that the Ancillary Commitment be reduced to zero, and that all Ancillary Outstandings be repaid or prepaid not later than the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (or such earlier date as the Revolving Credit Commitment of the relevant Ancillary Lender (or its Affiliate) is reduced to zero).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)If there is any conflict between any term of an Ancillary Facility and any term of this Agreement, this Agreement shall prevail except for (i) those terms relating to the calculating, and rate and time for payment, of fees, interest or commission and other remuneration relating to an Ancillary Facility, (ii) an Ancillary Facility comprising more than one account where the terms of the Ancillary Facility shall prevail (to the extent required to permit the netting of balances on those accounts) and (iii) where the relevant term of this Agreement would be contrary to, or inconsistent with, the law governing the relevant Ancillary Document, in which case that term of this Agreement shall not prevail.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Repayment of an Ancillary Facility</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)An Ancillary Facility shall cease to be available on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or such earlier date on which it expires or is cancelled in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (unless repaid or prepaid in accordance with <u>paragraph (vii)</u> below).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)If an Ancillary Facility expires in accordance with its terms, the Ancillary Commitment of the applicable Ancillary Lender shall be reduced to zero (and the Available Commitment of such Ancillary Lender (or its Affiliate) shall be increased accordingly).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)No Ancillary Lender may demand repayment or prepayment of any amounts for any Ancillary Outstandings (except in connection with <u>Sections 5.1</u> and 5.2 hereof) unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)required to reduce the Gross Outstandings of an Ancillary Facility which is an overdraft facility comprising more than one account to or towards an amount equal to its Net Outstandings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)it becomes unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction for the Ancillary Lender to perform any of its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement or to fund, issue or maintain its participation in its Ancillary Facility (or it becomes unlawful for any Affiliate of the Ancillary Lender for the Ancillary Lender to do so); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D)the Ancillary Outstandings (if any) under such Ancillary Facility are refinanced in full by a Loan or Letter of Credit and the Ancillary Lender gives sufficient notice to enable a Loan or Letter of Credit to be made to refinance those Ancillary Outstandings in full.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)For the purposes of determining whether or not the Ancillary Outstandings under an Ancillary Facility mentioned in <u>paragraph (iii)(D)</u> above can be refinanced by a Loan or Letter of Credit: (i) the Available Commitment of the applicable Ancillary Lender will be increased by the amount of its Ancillary Commitment and (ii) the Loan or Letter of Credit shall (so long as <u>paragraph (iii)(B)</u> above does not apply) be made so long as no Event of Default is outstanding or no other applicable condition precedent is not satisfied (but only to the extent that the proceeds are applied in refinancing those Ancillary Outstandings).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)On the making of a Loan and/or Letter of Credit to refinance in full the Ancillary Outstandings under an Ancillary Facility in accordance with <u>paragraph (iii)(D)</u> above: (i) each

#101458425v1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

Lender will participate in such Loan and/or Letter of Credit in an amount (as determined by the Administrative Agent) which will result as nearly as possible in each Lender holding its *pro rata* share (after taking into account the expiration of the applicable Ancillary Commitment) of the Revolving Credit Exposure and other Ancillary Outstandings, if any; and (ii) the relevant Ancillary Facility shall be cancelled.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)In connection with an Ancillary Facility which comprises an overdraft facility where a Designated Net Amount has been established, the Ancillary Lender providing such Ancillary Facility shall only be obliged to take into account for the purposes of calculating compliance with the Designated Net Amount those credit balances which it is permitted to take into account by the then current law and regulations with respect to its reporting of exposures to applicable regulatory authorities as netted for capital adequacy purposes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii)A Borrower "repaying" or "prepaying" Ancillary Outstandings means (i) such Borrower providing cash collateral (on terms acceptable to the relevant Ancillary Lender and the Administrative Agent (in each case, acting reasonably)) in respect of the Ancillary Outstandings, (ii) the maximum amount payable under the Ancillary Facility being reduced or cancelled in accordance with its terms or (iii) the Ancillary Lender being satisfied that it has no further liability under such Ancillary Facility. The amount by which Ancillary Outstandings are, repaid or prepaid under <u>clauses (i)</u> and <u>(ii)</u> above is the amount of the relevant cash collateral, reduction or cancellation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii)If the Ancillary Commitment under any Ancillary Facility is reduced or cancelled in whole or in part, the ratable share of each Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer in any payments to be made to or by such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents on or after the effective date of such reduction or cancellation may be reduced or increased by the Administrative Agent in an amount (as determined by the Administrative Agent) which will result as nearly as possible in each Lender holding its *pro rata* share (after taking into account the expiration of the applicable Ancillary Commitment) of the Revolving Credit Exposure and other Ancillary Outstandings, if any, after the making of such payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Ancillary Outstandings</u>. Each Borrower and each Ancillary Lender agrees with and for the benefit of each Lender that (a) the Ancillary Outstandings under any Ancillary Facility provided by such Ancillary Lender shall not exceed the Ancillary Commitment applicable to such Ancillary Facility and where the Ancillary Facility is an overdraft facility comprising more than one account, Ancillary Outstandings under such Ancillary Facility shall not exceed the Designated Net Amount in respect of such Ancillary Facility and (b) where all or part of the Ancillary Facility is an overdraft facility comprising more than one account, the Gross Outstandings shall not exceed the Designated Gross Amount applicable to such Ancillary Facility and the Net Outstandings shall not exceed the Designated Net Amount applicable to such Ancillary Facility.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)<u>Adjustments for Ancillary Facilities upon Acceleration</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)As used in this <u>Section 2.16(f)</u>:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)"**Revolving Outstandings**" means, with respect to a Lender, the aggregate of (i) such Lender's Revolving Credit Exposure and (ii) if the Lender (or any of its Affiliates) is also an Ancillary Lender, the Ancillary Outstandings in respect of Ancillary Facilities provided by such Lender (or its Affiliates), together with, in each case, the aggregate amount of all accrued interest, fees and commission owed to it (or to its Affiliates) as 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;(iii)"**Total Revolving Outstandings**" means the aggregate of all Revolving Outstandings.

#101458425v1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)After the maturity of the Obligations (or any portion thereof) has been accelerated pursuant to <u>Section 11</u>, each Lender and each Ancillary Lender shall promptly adjust (by making or receiving (as the case may be) corresponding transfers of rights and obligations under the Credit Documents relating to the Revolving Outstandings (to the extent necessary)) their claims in respect of amounts outstanding to them with respect to the Revolving Outstandings and each Ancillary Facility to ensure that after such transfers the Revolving Outstandings of each Lender bear the same proportion to the Total Revolving Outstandings as such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment bears to the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, each as at such date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)If an amount outstanding under an Ancillary Facility is a contingent liability and that contingent liability becomes an actual liability or is reduced to zero after the original adjustment is made under <u>paragraph (ii)</u> above, then each Lender will make a further adjustment (by making or receiving (as the case may be) corresponding transfers of rights and obligations under the Credit Documents relating to the Revolving Outstandings (to the extent necessary)) to put themselves in the position they would have been in had the original adjustment been determined by reference to the actual liability or, as the case may be, zero liability and not the contingent liability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)Any transfer of rights and obligations relating to Revolving Outstandings made pursuant to this <u>Section 2.16(f)</u> shall be made for a purchase price in cash, payable at the time of transfer, in an amount equal to such Revolving Outstandings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii)Prior to the application of the provisions of <u>paragraph (ii)</u> of this <u>Section 2.16(f)</u>, an Ancillary Lender that has provided an overdraft including more than one account under an Ancillary Facility shall set-off any Available Credit Balance on any account comprised in such overdraft facility.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii)All calculations to be made pursuant to this <u>Section 2.16(f)</u> shall be made by the Administrative Agent based upon information provided to it by the Lenders and Ancillary Lenders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)<u>Information</u>. Each Borrower and each Ancillary Lender shall, promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent, supply the Administrative Agent with any information relating to the operation of an Ancillary Facility (including the Ancillary Outstandings) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request from time to time. Each Borrower consents to all such information being released to the Administrative Agent and the other Agents and Lenders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)<u>Revolving Credit Commitment Amounts</u>. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, each Revolving Credit Lender shall ensure that at all times its Revolving Credit Commitment is not less than the aggregate of its Ancillary Commitment and/or (as applicable) the Ancillary Commitments of its Affiliates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)<u>Interest, Commission and Fees on Ancillary Facilities</u>. Subject to <u>Section 2.16(c)</u>, the rate and time of payment of interest, commission, fees and any other remuneration in respect of each Ancillary Facility shall be determined by agreement between the relevant Ancillary Lender and the Borrower of such Ancillary Facility based upon market rates and terms at the time entered into and taking into account the fees payable with respect to the Total Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to <u>Section 4.1(a)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)<u>Affiliates of Lenders as Ancillary Lenders</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Subject to the terms of this Agreement, an Affiliate of a Lender to which such Lender can assign its interests under <u>Section 13.6</u> may become an Ancillary Lender. In such case, the Lender and its Affiliate shall be treated as a single Lender whose Revolving Credit Commitment is the amount set out opposite the relevant Lender's name on <u>Schedule 1.1(b)</u> under the caption "Revolving Credit Commitment" and/or the amount of any Revolving Credit Commitment transferred to or assumed by that Lender under this Agreement, to the extent (in each case) not cancelled, reduced or transferred by it under this Agreement. For the purposes of

#101458425v1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

calculating any Revolving Credit Lender's Available Commitment, such Revolving Credit Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of the Ancillary Commitments of such Lender and its 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)The Parent Borrower shall specify any relevant Affiliate of a Lender in any notice delivered by it to the Administrative Agent pursuant to <u>Section 2.16(b)(ii)(A)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)If a Revolving Credit Lender assigns all of its rights and benefits or transfers all of its rights and obligations pursuant to <u>Section 13.6</u>, its Affiliate shall cease to have any rights or obligations under this Agreement and any such Affiliate shall cease to be an Ancillary Lender or an Agent or Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)Where this Agreement or any other Credit Document imposes an obligation on an Ancillary Lender and the relevant Ancillary Lender is an Affiliate of a Lender which is not a party to that document, the relevant Lender shall ensure that the obligation is performed by its Affiliate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k)<u>Affiliates of Borrowers.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Subject to the terms of this Agreement, a Restricted Subsidiary that is an Affiliate of a Borrower may, with the approval of the relevant Ancillary Lender, become a borrower with respect to an Ancillary Facility.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)The Parent Borrower shall specify any relevant Subsidiary Ancillary Borrower in any notice delivered by the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to <u>Section 2.16(b)(ii)(A)</u> 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)Where this Agreement or any other Credit Document imposes an obligation on a Subsidiary Ancillary Borrower under an Ancillary Facility, the applicable Borrowers shall ensure that the obligation is performed by such Subsidiary Ancillary Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)Any reference in this Agreement or any other Credit Document to a Borrower being under no obligations (whether actual or contingent) as a Borrower under such Credit Document shall be construed to include a reference to any Subsidiary Ancillary Borrower being under no obligations under any Credit Document or Ancillary 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B)Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its applicable percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to <u>Section 3.8</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C)With respect to any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to <u>clause (A)</u> or <u>(B)</u> above, the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender's participation in L/C Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to <u>clause (iv)</u> below, (y) pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Letter of Credit's Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)<u>Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure</u>. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender's participation in L/C Obligations shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender's Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-

------

Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender's Commitment. Subject to <u>Section 13.23</u>, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender's increased exposure following such reallocation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)<u>Cash Collateral</u>. If the reallocation described in <u>clause (a)(iv)</u> above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the applicable Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to them hereunder or under applicable law, Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Issuers' Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in <u>Section 3.8</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Defaulting Lender Cure</u>. If the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Letter of Credit Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a *pro rata* basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (without giving effect to <u>Section 2.18(a)(iv)</u>), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; <u>provided</u> that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the applicable Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender's having been a Defaulting Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>New Letters of Credit</u>. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Letter of Credit Issuer shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is reasonably satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Upon at least two Business Days' prior written notice to each of the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Parent Borrower shall have the right, on any day, to request the Letter of Credit Issuer to issue an amendment to terminate permanently or to reduce the Letter of Credit Commitment in whole or in part; <u>provided</u> that, after giving effect to such termination or reduction, the Letters of Credit Outstanding shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment (or with respect to a Letter of Credit Issuer, the Letters of Credit Outstanding with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer shall not exceed such Letter of Credit Issuer's Letter of Credit Sublimit); <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that any such reduction shall be applied to the Letter of Credit Sublimit of each Letter of Credit Issuer on a pro rata basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)The Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms enjoin or restrain the Letter of Credit Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to the Letter of Credit Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Letter of Credit Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the Letter of Credit Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (in each case, for which the Letter of Credit Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the Letter of Credit Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the Letter of Credit Issuer in good faith deems material 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Letter of Credit Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;

#101458425v1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)The Letter of Credit Issuer shall not increase the Stated Amount of any Letter of Credit if the Letter of Credit Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)The Letter of Credit Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in <u>Section 12.3</u> with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term "Administrative Agent" as used in <u>Section 12.3</u> included the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Letter of Credit Issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2<u>Letter of Credit Requests</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Whenever a Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account or amended, such Borrower or the Parent Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer a Letter of Credit Request by no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least four Business Days (or such other period as may be agreed upon by the applicable Borrower or the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer) prior to the proposed date of issuance or amendment. Each Letter of Credit Request shall be executed by the applicable Borrower or the Parent Borrower. Any Letter of Credit Request may be conditioned on the occurrence of any specified transaction and, if such specified transaction does not occur as intended, such notice may be revoked or amended by the Parent Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Request may be sent by facsimile, by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the Letter of Credit Issuer, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to the Letter of Credit Issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Request shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the Stated Amount thereof in an Available Currency (and, if applicable, the Dollar Equivalent thereof); (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the identity of the applicant; and (H) such other matters as the Letter of Credit Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Request shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer (I) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (II) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (III) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (IV) such other matters as the Letter of Credit Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the applicable Borrower or the Parent Borrower shall furnish to the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Unless the Letter of Credit Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Credit Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Credit Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in <u>Sections 6</u> (solely with respect to any Letter of Credit issued on the Closing Date) and <u>7</u> shall not then be satisfied to the extent required thereby, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower (or, so long as a Borrower is the primary obligor, for the account of any Restricted Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the Letter of Credit Issuer's usual and customary business practices.

#101458425v1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)If a Borrower or the Parent Borrower so requests in any Letter of Credit Request, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an "**Auto-Extension Letter of Credit**"); <u>provided</u> that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Letter of Credit Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof and the applicable Borrower not later than a day (the "**Non-Extension Notice Date**") in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Letter of Credit Issuer, the applicable Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Letter of Credit Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Letter of Credit Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the L/C Facility Maturity Date, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the Letter of Credit Issuer has reasonably determined that it would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of <u>clause (b)</u> of <u>Section 3.1</u> or otherwise), or (B) it has received written notice on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the applicable Borrower or the Parent Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in <u>Sections 6</u> and <u>7</u> are not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the Letter of Credit Issuer not to permit such extension.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the Letter of Credit Issuer will also deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. On the first Business Day of each month, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall provide the Administrative Agent a list of all Letters of Credit issued by it that are outstanding at such time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the applicable Borrower that the Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, <u>Section 3.1(b)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3<u>Letter of Credit Participations</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Immediately upon the issuance by the Letter of Credit Issuer of any Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Revolving Credit Lender (each such Revolving Credit Lender, in its capacity under this <u>Section 3.3</u>, an "**L/C Participant**"), and each such L/C Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the Letter of Credit Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (each, an "**L/C Participation**"), to the extent of such L/C Participant's Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage in each Letter of Credit, each substitute therefor, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of each Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto; <u>provided</u> that the Letter of Credit Fees will be paid directly to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the L/C Participants as provided in <u>Section 4.1(b)</u> and the L/C Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any Fronting Fees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer shall have no obligation relative to the L/C Participants other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not create for the Letter of Credit Issuer any resulting liability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)In the event that the Letter of Credit Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the applicable Borrower shall not have repaid such amount in full to the respective Letter of Credit Issuer through the Administrative Agent pursuant to <u>Section 3.4(a)</u>, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each L/C Participant of such failure, and each L/C Participant shall promptly and

#101458425v1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the amount of such L/C Participant's Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars and in immediately available funds. If and to the extent such L/C Participant shall not have so made its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, such L/C Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, forthwith on demand, such amount, together with interest thereon for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer at a rate *per annum* equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time then in effect, *plus* any administrative, processing or similar fees that are reasonably and customarily charged by the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with the foregoing. The failure of any L/C Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other L/C Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any payment under such Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no L/C Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other L/C Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent such other L/C Participant's Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any such payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Whenever the Administrative Agent receives a payment in respect of an unpaid reimbursement obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer any payments from the L/C Participants pursuant to <u>clause (c)</u> above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each L/C Participant that has paid its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such reimbursement obligation, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such L/C Participant's share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such L/C Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all L/C Participants) of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount so paid in respect of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective L/C Participations at the Overnight Rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)The obligations of the L/C Participants to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to <u>Section 3.3(c)</u> is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in <u>Section 13.20</u> (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Letter of Credit Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, *plus* interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to <u>Section 3.3(c)</u>, at a rate *per annum* equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4<u>Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Borrowers hereby agree to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer, by making payment with respect to any drawing under any Letter of Credit in the same currency in which such drawing was made unless the Letter of Credit Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in the notice of drawing that it will require reimbursement in Dollars. In the case of any reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Available Currency, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall notify the Parent Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Any such reimbursement shall be made by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for any payment or disbursement made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit (each such amount so paid until reimbursed, an "**Unpaid Drawing**") no later than the date that is one Business Day after the date on which the Parent Borrower receives written notice of such payment or disbursement (the "**Reimbursement Date**"), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by the Letter of Credit Issuer, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City

#101458425v1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

time) on the Reimbursement Date, from the Reimbursement Date to the date the Letter of Credit Issuer is reimbursed therefor at a rate *per annum* that shall at all times be (i) with respect to a Letter of Credit being reimbursed in Dollars, the Applicable Margin for ABR Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans *plus* the ABR as in effect from time to time, (ii) with respect to a Letter of Credit being reimbursed in Euro, the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans *plus* the Eurocurrency Rate (for the shortest available tenor) and (iii) with respect to a Letter of Credit being reimbursed in Pounds Sterling, the Applicable Margin for RFR Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans *plus* Daily Simple RFR; <u>provided</u> that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) unless the applicable Borrower or the Parent Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Reimbursement Date that the applicable Borrower intends to reimburse the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer on the Reimbursement Date for the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Loans, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have given a Notice of Borrowing requesting that, with respect to Letters of Credit, the Revolving Credit Lenders make Revolving Credit Loans (which shall be denominated in Dollars and which shall be ABR Loans) on the Reimbursement Date in the amount, or Dollar Equivalent of the amount, as applicable, of such drawing and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each L/C Participant of such drawing and the amount of its Revolving Credit Loan to be made in respect thereof, and each L/C Participant shall be irrevocably obligated to make a Revolving Credit Loan to the applicable Borrower in Dollars in the manner deemed to have been requested in the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the applicable Unpaid Drawing by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Reimbursement Date by making the amount of such Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent. Such Revolving Credit Loans shall be made without regard to the Minimum Borrowing Amount or Borrowing Multiple. The Administrative Agent shall use the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans solely for purpose of reimbursing the Letter of Credit Issuer for the related Unpaid Drawing. In the event that a Borrower fails to Cash Collateralize any Letter of Credit that is outstanding on the L/C Facility Maturity Date, the full amount of the Letters of Credit Outstanding in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be an Unpaid Drawing subject to this <u>Section 3.4</u> except that the Letter of Credit Issuer shall hold the proceeds received from the L/C Participants as contemplated above as Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit to reimburse any Unpaid Drawing under such Letter of Credit and shall use such proceeds first, to reimburse itself for any Unpaid Drawings made in respect of such Letter of Credit following the L/C Facility Maturity Date, second, to the extent such Letter of Credit expires with no pending drawings or is returned for cancellation while any such Cash Collateral remains, to the repayment of obligations in respect of any Revolving Credit Loans that have not been paid at such time and third, to the applicable Borrower or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this <u>Section 3.4(a)</u> shall affect the Borrowers' obligation to repay all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans when due in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.6<u>New or Successor Letter of Credit Issuer</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Parent Borrower may replace the Letter of Credit Issuer for any reason upon written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer. A Letter of Credit Issuer may, in connection with a permitted assignment by it of a Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder, assign all or a portion of its obligations and related rights as Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder to the assignee of such Revolving Credit Commitment; <u>provided</u> that except during the continuance of an Event of Default under <u>Section 11.1</u> or <u>Section 11.5</u> (solely with respect to a Borrower), the prior written consent of the Parent Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that any such consent of the Parent Borrower may be conditioned on the assignor and assignee agreeing to "back-stop" any Letters of Credit issued by the assignor as described in <u>clause (ii)</u> below. The Parent Borrower may add Letter of Credit Issuers at any time upon notice to the Administrative Agent. If a Letter of Credit Issuer shall be replaced by the Parent Borrower, or if the Parent Borrower shall decide to add a new Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement, then the Parent Borrower may appoint from among the Lenders a successor issuer of Letters of Credit or a new Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, or, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), another successor or new issuer of Letters of Credit. Upon any assignment, replacement or appointment contemplated hereby, the term Letter of Credit Issuer shall mean such successor or such new issuer of Letters of Credit effective upon such appointment. At the time such assignment, resignation or replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay to the replaced Letter of Credit Issuer all accrued and unpaid fees applicable to the Letters of Credit pursuant to <u>Sections 4.1(b)</u> and <u>4.1(d)</u>. The acceptance of any appointment as the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder whether as a assignee issuer, successor issuer or new issuer of Letters of Credit in accordance with this Agreement, shall be evidenced by, and subject to the effectiveness of, an agreement entered into by such assignee or new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, such assignee or new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall become the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder. After the replacement of a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, the replaced Letter of Credit Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of the Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. In connection with any assignment or replacement pursuant to this <u>clause (a)</u>, either (i) the Parent Borrower, the replaced Letter of Credit Issuer and the successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall arrange to have any outstanding Letters of Credit issued by the replaced Letter of Credit Issuer replaced with Letters of Credit issued by the successor issuer of Letters of Credit or (ii) the Parent Borrower shall cause the successor issuer of Letters of Credit, if such successor issuer is reasonably satisfactory to the replaced Letter of Credit Issuer, to issue "back-stop" Letters of Credit naming the replaced Letter of Credit Issuer as beneficiary for each outstanding Letter of Credit issued by the replaced Letter of Credit Issuer, which new Letters of Credit shall be denominated in the same currency as, and shall have an available amount equal to, the Letters of Credit being back-stopped and the sole requirement for drawing on such new Letters of Credit shall be a drawing on the corresponding backstopped Letters of Credit. After any replaced Letter of Credit Issuer's replacement as Letter of Credit Issuer, the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Letter of Credit Issuer shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it (A) while it was the Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement or (B) at any time with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)To the extent there are, at the time of any replacement as set forth in <u>clause (a)</u> above, any outstanding Letters of Credit, nothing herein shall be deemed to impact or impair any rights and obligations of any of the parties hereto with respect to such outstanding Letters of Credit (including, without limitation, any obligations related to the payment of Fees or the reimbursement or funding of amounts drawn), except that the Borrowers, the replaced Letter of Credit Issuer and the successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall have the obligations regarding outstanding Letters of Credit described in <u>clause (a)</u> above.

#101458425v1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.7<u>Role of Letter of Credit Issuer</u>. Each Lender and the Borrowers agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrowers hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; <u>provided</u> that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrowers' pursuit of such rights and remedies as they may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in <u>Section 3.3(b)</u>; <u>provided</u> that anything in such Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the applicable Borrower may have a claim against the Letter of Credit Issuer, and the Letter of Credit Issuer may be liable to the applicable Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the applicable Borrower which the applicable Borrower proves were caused by the Letter of Credit Issuer's willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence or the Letter of Credit Issuer's willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of documents strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit in each case as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Letter of Credit Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

The Letter of Credit Issuer may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.8<u>Cash Collateral</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Certain Credit Support Events</u>. Upon the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer, if (i) as of the L/C Facility Maturity Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, (ii) the applicable Borrower shall be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to <u>Section 11.13</u>, or (iii) <u>Section 2.18(a)(v)</u> is in effect, the applicable Borrower shall immediately (in the case of <u>clause (ii)</u> above) or within one Business Day (in all other cases) following any written request by the Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer, provide Cash Collateral in an amount not less than the applicable Minimum Collateral Amount (determined in the case of Cash Collateral provided pursuant to <u>clause (iii)</u> above, after giving effect to <u>Section 2.18(a)(iv)</u> and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Grant of Security Interest</u>. The Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to (and subject to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein as described in <u>Section 3.8(a)</u>, and all other property so provided as Collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to <u>Section 3.8(c)</u>. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer as herein provided, other than Permitted Liens, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount (including, without limitation, as a result of exchange rate fluctuations), the Borrowers will, promptly upon written demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to

#101458425v1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

eliminate such deficiency. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in interest bearing deposit accounts with the Administrative Agent. The Borrowers shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Application</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this <u>Section 3.8</u> or <u>Sections 2.18</u>, <u>5.2</u>, or <u>11.13</u> in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Release</u>. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or to secure other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with <u>Section 13.6(b)(ii)</u>) or there is no longer existing an Event of Default) or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.9<u>Applicability of ISP and UCP</u>. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Letter of Credit Issuer and the applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall be stated therein to apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance, shall be stated therein to apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be responsible to the Borrowers for, and the Letter of Credit Issuer's rights and remedies against the Borrowers shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of the Letter of Credit Issuer 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 applicable law or any order of a jurisdiction where the Letter of Credit Issuer 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 ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade (BAFT), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.10<u>Conflict with Issuer Documents</u>. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control and any grant of security interest in any Issuer Documents shall be void.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.11<u>Letters of Credit Issued for Restricted Subsidiaries</u>. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of a Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any other Restricted Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of each Borrower and that each Borrower's business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of the Parent Borrower and the other Restricted Subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.12<u>Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments</u>. If the L/C Facility Maturity Date in respect of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments occurs prior to the expiry date of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if consented to by the Letter of Credit Issuer which issued such Letter of Credit, if one or more other tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of which the L/C Facility Maturity Date shall not have so occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit for which consent has been obtained shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Credit Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to <u>Sections 3.3</u> and <u>3.4</u>) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of such non-terminating tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of the unutilized Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding <u>clause (i)</u>, the applicable Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with <u>Section 3.8</u>. Upon the maturity date of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments,

In the absence of a Rejection Notice or a designation by the Parent Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under <u>Section 2.11</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Application to Revolving Credit Loans</u>. With respect to each prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to <u>Section 5.2(b)</u>, the Parent Borrower may designate (i) the Types of Loans that are to be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which they were made and (ii) the Revolving Loans to be prepaid; <u>provided</u> that each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied *pro rata* among such Loans, except that no prepayment of Revolving Loans shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Loans of any Defaulting Lender unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parent Borrower and any prepayments shall be applied pursuant to <u>Section 2.18(a)(ii)</u>. In the absence of a

The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender holding Term Loans of the contents of such prepayment notice and of such Lender's *pro rata* share of the prepayment. If the Parent Borrower so elects, each Term Loan Lender may at its option reject all (but not less than all) of its *pro rata* share of any mandatory prepayment other than any such mandatory prepayment with respect to a Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event under <u>Section 5.2(a)(i)</u> (such declined amounts, the "**Declined Proceeds**") of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to <u>Section 5.2(a)</u> by providing written notice (each, a "**Rejection Notice**") to the Administrative Agent no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) one Business Day after the date of such Lender's receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment. If a Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans.

All repayments or prepayments of any Loans (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) hereunder shall be made in the currency in which such Loans are denominated and all other payments under each Credit Document shall, unless otherwise specified in such Credit Document, be made in Dollars. The Administrative Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if payment was actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) in the case of payments denominated in Dollars and 8:00 a.m. (New York City time) in the case of payments denominated in a currency other than Dollars or, otherwise, on the next Business Day in the Administrative Agent's sole discretion) like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or Fees ratably to the Lenders entitled thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) in the case of payments denominated in Dollars or 8:00 a.m. (New York City time) in the case of payments denominated in a currency other than Dollars may be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day in the Administrative Agent's sole discretion for purposes of calculating interest thereon.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers</u>. Without limiting <u>clause (a)</u> above, the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or timely reimburse the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of any Other Taxes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Tax Indemnifications</u>. Without limiting <u>clause (a)</u> or <u>(b)</u> above, the Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 15 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this <u>Section 5.4</u>) payable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability (along with a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts) delivered to the Parent Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Evidence of Payments</u>.

Any documentation and information required to be delivered by a Lender pursuant to this <u>Section 5.4(e)</u> (including any specific documentation set forth in <u>clause (ii)</u> below) shall be delivered by such Lender (i) on or prior to the Closing Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), (ii) whenever a lapse of time or change in circumstances renders such documentation obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any respect and (iii) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and each such Lender shall promptly notify in writing the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent if such Lender is no longer legally eligible to provide any documentation previously provided. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this <u>Section 5.4</u>, no Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to deliver any documentation (i) that it is not legally eligible to deliver and (ii) (other than with respect to such documentation set forth in paragraphs (ii)(A), (ii)(B)(i) through (ii)(B)(iv) and (ii)(c) of this Section) if in the Lender's reasonable judgment

Solely for purposes of this <u>clause (C)</u>, "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D)in the case of Citi (or any successor or replacement Administrative Agent), duly executed copies of either (i) IRS Form W-9 or (ii) a U.S. branch withholding certificate on IRS Form W-8IMY evidencing its agreement with the Borrowers to be treated as a U.S. Person (with respect to amounts received on account of any Lender) and IRS Form W-8ECI (with respect to amounts received on its own account), with the effect that, in either case, any Borrower that is a U.S. Person will be entitled to make payments hereunder to the Administrative Agent without withholding or deduction on account of U.S. federal withholding Tax.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Credit Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this <u>Section 5.4(e)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)<u>Treatment of Certain Refunds</u>. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Credit Party or with respect to which any Credit Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this <u>Section 5.4</u>, the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as applicable) shall promptly pay to the applicable Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Credit Parties under this <u>Section 5.4</u> with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); <u>provided</u> that the applicable Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower pursuant to this <u>paragraph (f)</u> (*plus* any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this <u>paragraph (f)</u>, in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this <u>paragraph (f)</u> the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or any Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or any Lender 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 subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Credit Party or any other Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this <u>Section 5.4</u>, the term "Lender" includes any Letter of Credit Issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)Each party's obligations under this <u>Section 5.4</u> 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 the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under the Credit Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.5<u>Computations of Interest and Fees</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Except as provided in the next succeeding sentence, interest on Term SOFR Loans and Eurocurrency Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. Interest on ABR Loans and RFR Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Fees and the average daily Stated Amount of Letters of Credit shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.6<u>Limit on Rate of Interest</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>No Payment Shall Exceed Lawful Rate</u>. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, no Borrower shall be obliged to pay any interest or other amounts under or in connection with this Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Obligations in excess of the amount or rate permitted under or consistent with any applicable law, rule or regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Payment at Highest Lawful Rate</u>. If a Borrower is not obliged to make a payment that it would otherwise be required to make, as a result of <u>Section 5.6(a)</u>, such Borrower shall make such payment to the maximum extent permitted by or consistent with applicable laws, rules, and regulations (the "**Maximum Rate**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Adjustment if Any Payment Exceeds Lawful Rate</u>. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents would obligate a Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate that would be prohibited by any applicable law, rule or regulation, then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid by such Borrower to the affected Lender under <u>Section 2.8</u>; <u>provided</u> that to the extent lawful, the interest or other amounts that would have been payable but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if any Lender shall have received from a Borrower an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by any applicable law, rule or regulation, then such Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent to obtain reimbursement from that Lender in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by that Lender to such Borrower.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this <u>Section 11</u>, in the event that the Parent Borrower fails to comply (or if the Parent Borrower expects it will fail to comply) with the requirement of the financial covenant set forth in <u>Section 10.7</u>, at any time during the relevant fiscal period until the expiration of the 15th Business Day following the date Section 9.1 Financials are required to be delivered in respect of such fiscal period for which such financial covenant is being measured, any holder of Capital Stock or Stock Equivalents of Holdings or any Parent Entity shall have the right to cure such failure (the "**Cure Right**") by causing cash net equity proceeds derived from an issuance of Capital Stock or Stock Equivalents (other than Disqualified Stock, unless reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) by the Parent Borrower (or from a contribution to the equity capital of the Parent Borrower in the form of Qualified Stock or of Disqualified Stock having terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) to be contributed (directly or indirectly) as cash common equity to the Parent Borrower, in an amount (the "**Cure Amount**") equal to the amount by which Consolidated EBITDA would need to be increased in order for the Parent Borrower to have been in compliance with the financial covenant set forth in <u>Section 10.7</u> for the relevant Test Period and, upon receipt by the Parent Borrower of such Cure Amount pursuant to the exercise of such Cure Right, such financial covenant shall be recalculated giving effect to the following *pro forma* adjustments:

&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;Consolidated EBITDA shall be increased, solely for the purpose of determining the existence of an Event of Default resulting from a breach of the financial covenant set forth in <u>Section 10.7</u> with respect to any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters that includes the fiscal quarter for which the Cure Right was exercised and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;there shall be no *pro forma* reduction in Consolidated First Lien Secured Debt with the Cure Amount for determining compliance with such financial covenant in the Test Period with respect to which such Cure Right is exercised (<u>provided</u> that, to the extent that the proceeds of such Cure Amount are actually applied to prepay indebtedness, such *pro forma* reduction may be credited in any subsequent fiscal quarter); 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;if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, the Parent Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the financial covenant set forth in <u>Section 10.7</u>, the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the financial covenant set forth in <u>Section 10.7</u> as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of such financial covenants that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement; <u>provided</u> that (i) in each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in which no Cure Right is exercised, (ii) there shall be a maximum of five Cure Rights exercised during the term of this Agreement, (iii) each Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required to cause the Company to be in compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 10.7; (iv) all Cure Amounts shall be disregarded for the purposes of any financial ratio determination or for determining pricing, or the availability or amount of any covenant basket under the Credit Documents other than for determining compliance with <u>Section 10.7</u>; and (v) no Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer shall be required to make any extension of credit hereunder during the fifteen day period referred to above, unless the Parent Borrower shall have received the Cure Amount.

Section 12.<u>The Agents</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.1<u>Appointment</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. This <u>Section 12</u> (other than <u>Sections 12.1</u>, <u>12.9</u>, <u>12.11</u>, <u>12.12</u> with respect to Credit Parties and <u>Section 12.16</u> to the extent expressed to be for the benefit of the Credit Parties) is solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and none of Holdings, the Borrowers or any other Credit Party shall have rights as third party beneficiary of any such provision. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Credit Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, each Agent shall act solely as an agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for Holdings, the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Collateral Agent as the agent with respect to the Collateral, and each of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer irrevocably authorizes the Collateral

------

Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuers, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Credit Document or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The Collateral Agent declares that it holds any property secured by any Security Document on trust for the Secured Parties on the terms contained in this agreement, excluding any Mortgaged Property located in the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia. The Collateral Agent holds any Mortgaged Property located in the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia as Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, without any fiduciary relationship with any of the Secured Parties. Each of the Administrative Agent, each Joint Lead Arranger, each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer, authorizes the Collateral Agent to perform the duties, obligations and responsibilities and to exercise the rights, powers, authorities and discretions specifically given to the Collateral Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or the Security Documents together with any other incidental rights, powers and discretions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Each of the Joint Lead Arrangers, each in its capacity as such, shall not have any obligations, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement but shall be entitled to all benefits of this <u>Section 12</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.2<u>Delegation of Duties</u>. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may each execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents by or through agents, sub-agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, subagents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in the absence of its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.3<u>Exculpatory Provisions</u>. No Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document (except for its or such Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders or any participant for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Credit Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by such Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Credit Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created under the Security Documents or the value or sufficiency of the Collateral, or for any failure of any Credit Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof. The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.4<u>Reliance by Agents</u>. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or instruction 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 Holdings and the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent or the

#101458425v1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the Lender specified in the Register with respect to any amount owing hereunder 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 the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Credit Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders 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 the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, 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; <u>provided</u> that the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or in the opinion of its counsel, may expose it to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.5<u>Notice of Default</u>. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent has received written notice from a Lender or Holdings or the Parent 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, it shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and the Collateral Agent. 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; <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 it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders except to the extent that this Agreement requires that such action be taken only with the approval of the Required Lenders or each of the Lenders, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.6<u>Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, and Other Lenders</u>. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Credit Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer. Each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer represents to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of an investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and each other Credit Party 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, the Collateral 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 Credit 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 any of the Credit Parties. Except for notices, reports, and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, assets, operations, properties, financial condition, prospects or creditworthiness of any Credit Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.7<u>Indemnification</u>. The Lenders agree to severally indemnify each Agent and each Letter of Credit Issuer, in their respective capacities as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Credit Parties and without limiting any express obligation of the Credit Parties to do so pursuant to the terms of the Credit Documents), ratably according to their respective portions of the Total Credit Exposure in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought (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 their respective portions of the Total Credit Exposure in effect 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 whatsoever that may at any time (including at any time following

#101458425v1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against an Agent or Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Credit 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 the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or a Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, under or in connection with any of the foregoing; <u>provided</u> that no Lender shall be liable to an Agent or Letter of Credit Issuer for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent's or such Letter of Credit Issuer's gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that no action taken by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Credit Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this <u>Section 12.7</u>. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time occur (including at any time following the payment of the Loans), this <u>Section 12.7</u> applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse each Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice rendered in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Holdings or the Borrowers; <u>provided</u> that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect Holdings' or the Borrowers' continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement resulting from such Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The agreements in this <u>Section 12.7</u> shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. The indemnity provided to each Agent under this <u>Section 12.7</u> shall also apply to such Agent's respective Affiliates, directors, officers, members, partners, representatives, assigns, controlling persons, employees, trustees, investment advisors and agents and successors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.8<u>Agents in Their Individual Capacities</u>. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, any Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Credit Party as though such Agent were not an Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents. With respect to the Loans made by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms Lender and Lenders shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.9<u>Successor Agents</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Parent Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the consent of the Parent Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) so long as no Event of Default under <u>Sections 11.1</u> or <u>11.5</u> (solely with respect to a Borrower) is continuing, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (the "**Resignation Effective Date**"), then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above (including receipt of the Parent Borrower's consent); <u>provided</u> that, if the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective at the expiration of such 30 day period.

#101458425v1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)With effect from the Resignation Effective Date, (1) the retiring agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral as nominee until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the retiring Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hereunder, and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Security Documents, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this <u>Section 12.9</u>). Except as provided above, any resignation of Citi as the Administrative Agent pursuant to this <u>Section 12.9</u> shall also constitute the resignation of Citi as the Collateral Agent. The fees payable by Holdings or the Borrowers (following the effectiveness of such appointment) to such Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Holdings or the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Agent's resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, this <u>Section 12</u> (including <u>Section 12.7</u>) and <u>Section 13.5</u> shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as an Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.10<u>Withholding Tax</u>. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender under any Credit Document an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective) or if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender pursuant to this Agreement without deduction of applicable withholding Tax from such payment, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by any applicable Credit Party and without limiting the obligation of any applicable Credit Party to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including penalties, additions to Tax and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this <u>Section 12.10</u>. The agreements in <u>Section 12.10</u> shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this <u>Section 12.10</u>, the term Lender includes the Letter of Credit Issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.11<u>Agents Under Security Documents and Guarantee</u>. Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral and the Security Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.12<u>Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guarantee</u>. Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers, the Agents, and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guarantee, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights, and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights, and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the

#101458425v1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition. No holder of Secured Hedge Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations in its capacity as a counterparty thereunder shall have any rights in connection with the management or release of any Guarantees or Collateral or of the obligations of any Credit Party under this Agreement. No holder of Secured Hedge Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations that obtains the benefits of any Guarantee or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any other Credit Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Credit Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender or Agent and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Credit Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements, unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this <u>Section 12.12</u> shall be construed to limit the right of any Lender from (1) exercising setoff rights in accordance with <u>Section 13.8</u>, or (2) filing proofs of claim or appearing on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Credit Party under any Debtor Relief Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.13<u>Intercreditor Agreement Governs</u>. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender, each Letter of Credit Issuer and each other Secured Party hereby (a) authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and any other intercreditor, subordination, collateral trust or similar agreement contemplated hereby with respect to any Indebtedness (A) that is required or permitted to be subordinated hereunder or pari passu with or senior to the Liens securing the Obligations and/or secured by Liens and (B) with respect to which Indebtedness and/or Liens, this Agreement contemplates an intercreditor, subordination, collateral trust or similar agreement (any such other intercreditor, subordination, collateral trust and/or similar agreement, an "**Additional Agreement**"), (b) acknowledges that any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and any Additional Agreement is binding upon them, and (c) agrees that it will be bound by, and will not take any action contrary to, the provisions of any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Agreement and authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into any Additional Agreement (including any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement) and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations to the provisions thereof. The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the Secured Parties to extend credit to the Borrowers, and the Secured Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and/or any other Additional Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.14<u>Parallel Debt</u>. (a) Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees and undertakes (by way of an abstract acknowledgement of debt as a new, independent payment obligation to the Collateral Agent as a creditor in its own right and not as representative of the Secured Parties) to pay to the Collateral Agent sums equal to and in the currency of the total amount of its Obligations as and when such amount falls due for payment under the Credit Documents (such Obligations being the "**Principal Obligations**") (such payment undertaking and the obligations and liabilities which are the result thereof, hereinafter being the "**Parallel Debt**"). The amount owed by a Credit Party under its Parallel Debt shall be reduced to the extent that its Principal Obligations are discharged and shall be increased to the extent that the Principal Obligations are increased. Vice versa the Principal Obligations of any Credit Party towards the Secured Parties under the Credit Documents or otherwise shall be reduced to the extent that the liabilities of such Credit Party towards the Collateral Agent under this Parallel Debt are discharged provided that no Principal Obligation shall be discharged by a discharge of Parallel Debt if such discharge of the Parallel Debt is effected by virtue of any setoff, counterclaim or similar defense invoked by Credit party vis-à-vis the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall have its own independent right to demand payment of the amounts payable by each Credit Party under this <u>Section 12.14</u>.

#101458425v1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) each Parallel Debt constitutes undertakings, obligations and liabilities of the relevant Credit Party to the Collateral Agent which are separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the Principal Obligations which that Credit Party owes to any Secured Party, and (ii) that each Parallel Debt represents the Collateral Agent's own claim to receive payment of such Parallel Debt from the relevant Credit Party; <u>provided</u> that the total amount which may become due under the Parallel Debt of a Credit Party under this <u>clause (b)</u> shall never exceed the total amount which may become due under the Principal Obligations of that Credit Party to the Secured Parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)For the purpose of this <u>Section 12.14</u>, the Collateral Agent acts in its own name and on behalf of itself and not as agent, representative or trustee of any other Secured Party and its claims in respect of a Parallel Debt shall not be held on trust.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.16<u>Erroneous Payments</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or Secured Party (any such Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer, Secured Party or other recipient, a "**Payment Recipient**") that the Administrative Agent has determined in its reasonable discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding <u>clause (b)</u>) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an "**Erroneous Payment**") and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this <u>Section 12.16</u> and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such written demand was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this <u>clause (a)</u> shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Each Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or Secured Party under any Credit Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or Secured Party under any Credit Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding <u>clause (a)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)(i) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with the preceding <u>clause (a)</u>, from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an "**Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency**"), other than with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, upon the Administrative Agent's notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A)

#101458425v1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the "**Erroneous Payment Impacted Class**") in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the "**Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment**") (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Parent Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any promissory notes evidencing such Loans to the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such promissory notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and (E) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)(ii) Subject to <u>Section 13.6</u> (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Parent Borrower or otherwise)), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Credit Documents with respect to such amount (the "**Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights**") (*provided* that the Credit Parties' Obligations under the Credit Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Borrower or any other Credit Party; *provided*, for the benefit of the Credit Parties, that this <u>Section 12.16</u> shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrowers or the other Credit Parties relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the

#101458425v1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent and in no event shall Holdings, any Borrowers or any other Subsidiary be liable in respect of any amounts attributable to an Erroneous Payment; *provided*, *further*, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding <u>clauses (x)</u> and <u>(y)</u> shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from a Credit Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)Each party's obligations, agreements and waivers under this <u>Section 12.16</u> shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Credit Document.

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the affected Lenders and shall be binding upon Holdings, the Borrowers, such Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the affected Loans.

In connection with the foregoing provisions, the Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligations to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(H)any assignment to Holdings, a Borrower, any Subsidiary or an Affiliated Lender (other than an Affiliated Institutional Lender) shall also be subject to the requirements of <u>Section 13.6(h)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(I)For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent bears no responsibility for tracking or monitoring assignments to or participations by any Affiliated Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to <u>clause (b)(v)</u> of this <u>Section 13.6</u>, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of <u>Sections 2.10</u>, <u>2.11</u>, <u>3.5</u>, <u>5.4</u> and <u>13.5</u>). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this <u>Section 13.6</u> 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 <u>clause (c)</u> of this <u>Section 13.6</u>. For the avoidance of doubt, in case of an assignment to a new Lender pursuant to this <u>Section 13.6</u>, (i) the Administrative Agent, the new Lender and other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the new Lender been an original Lender signatory to this Agreement with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the assignment and to the extent of the assignment the assigning Lender shall each be released from further obligations under the Credit Documents and (ii) the benefit of each Security Document shall be maintained in favor of the new Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent's Office a copy of each Assignment and

Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans (and stated interest amounts thereon) and any payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "**Register**"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, the Collateral Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and, with respect to itself, any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee's completed Administrative Questionnaire and applicable tax forms (as required under <u>Section 5.4(e)</u> unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in <u>clause (b)</u> of this <u>Section 13.6</u> and any written consent to such assignment required by <u>clause (b)</u> of this <u>Section 13.6</u>, the Administrative Agent shall promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment, whether or not evidenced by a promissory note, shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this <u>clause (b)(v)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer, sell participations to one or more banks or other Persons (other than (x) a natural person, (y) Holdings, a Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries and (z) any Disqualified Institution; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that participations may be sold to Disqualified Institutions unless a list of Disqualified Institutions has been made available to the grantor of the participation upon its request) (each, a "**Participant**") 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 Letter of Credit Issuer, 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall bear no responsibility or liability for monitoring and enforcing the list of Disqualified Institutions or the sales of participations thereto at any time. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; <u>provided</u> that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in <u>clauses (i)</u> and <u>(vi)</u> of the third proviso to <u>Section 13.1</u> that affects such Participant. Subject to <u>clause (c)(ii)</u> of this <u>Section 13.6</u>, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of <u>Sections 2.10</u>, <u>2.11</u>, <u>3.5</u>, and <u>5.4</u> to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections as though it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to <u>clause (b)</u> of this <u>Section 13.6</u>, including the requirements of <u>clause (e)</u> of <u>Section 5.4</u>) (it being agreed that any documentation required under <u>Section 5.4(e)</u> shall be provided to the participating Lender)). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of <u>Section 13.8(b)</u> as though it were a Lender; <u>provided</u> that such Participant shall be subject to <u>Section 13.8(a)</u> as though it were a Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under <u>Section 2.10</u>, <u>2.11</u>, <u>3.5</u> or <u>5.4</u> than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the sale of such the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to a greater payment results from a Change in Law after the sale of participations takes place. Each Lender that sells a participation 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 each Participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest

#101458425v1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

amounts on) each Participant's interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the "**Participant Register**"). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant 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 any Credit Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary in connection with a tax audit or other proceeding to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b) of the proposed United States Treasury Regulations. 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, 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, or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this <u>Section 13.6</u> 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;(e)Subject to <u>Section 13.16</u>, the Borrowers authorize each Lender to disclose to any Participant, secured creditor of such Lender or assignee (each, a "**Transferee**") and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender's possession concerning the Borrowers and their Affiliates that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers and their Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers and their Affiliates in connection with such Lender's credit evaluation of the Borrowers and their Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)The words "execution," "signed," "signature," and words of like import in any Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a "**Granting Lender**") may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an "**SPV**"), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrowers all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement; <u>provided</u> that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan, (ii) such SPV and the applicable Loan or any applicable part thereof shall be appropriately reflected in the Participant Register and (iii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this <u>Section 13.6</u>, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a

#101458425v1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent) other than a Disqualified Institution providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) subject to <u>Section 13.16</u>, disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV. This <u>Section 13.6(g)</u> may not be amended without the written consent of the SPV. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement but subject to the following sentence, each SPV shall be entitled to the benefits of <u>Sections 2.10</u>, <u>2.11</u>, <u>3.5</u> and <u>5.4</u> to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections as though it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to <u>clause (b)</u> of this <u>Section 13.6</u>, including the requirements of <u>clause (e)</u> of <u>Section 5.4</u> (it being agreed that any documentation required under <u>Section 5.4(e)</u> shall be provided to the Granting Lender)). Notwithstanding the prior sentence, an SPV shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under <u>Section 2.10</u>, <u>2.11</u>, <u>3.5</u> or <u>5.4</u> than its Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the grant to such SPV, unless such grant to such SPV is made with the Parent Borrower's prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and so long as no Event of Default (solely with respect to the Parent Borrower) is then continuing, (x) any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Term Loans to Holdings, a Borrower, any Subsidiary, any Affiliated Lender or any Affiliated Institutional Lender and (y) Holdings, the Borrowers and any Subsidiary may, from time to time, purchase or prepay Term Loans, in each case, on a non-*pro rata* basis through (x) Dutch auction procedures open to all applicable Lenders on a *pro rata* basis in accordance with customary procedures to be agreed between the Parent Borrower and the Auction Agent or (y) open market purchases; <u>provided</u> that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)any Loans or Commitments acquired by Holdings, any Borrower or any other Subsidiary shall be retired and cancelled promptly upon the acquisition thereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)by its acquisition of Loans or Commitments, an Affiliated Lender shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A)it shall not have any right to (I) attend or participate in (including, in each case, by telephone) any meeting (including "Lender only" meetings) or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any Lender at which representatives of the Borrowers are not then present, (II) receive any information or material prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among the Administrative Agent and one or more Lenders or any other material which is "Lender only", except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to the Borrowers or their representatives (and in any case, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to <u>Section 2</u>) or receive any advice of counsel to the Administrative Agent or (III) make any challenge to the Administrative Agent's or any other Lender's attorney-client privilege on the basis of its status as a Lender; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B)except with respect to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action (I) in <u>Section 13.1</u> requiring the consent of all Lenders, all Lenders directly and adversely affected or specifically such Lender, (II) that alters an Affiliated Lender's *pro rata* share of any payments given to all Lenders or all Lenders of a specified Class, or (III) affects the Affiliated Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) in a manner that is disproportionate to the effect on any Lender in the same Class, the Loans held by an Affiliated Lender shall be disregarded in both the numerator and denominator in the calculation of any Lender vote (and, in the case of a plan of reorganization that does not affect the Affiliated Lender in a

#101458425v1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

manner that is materially adverse to such Affiliated Lender relative to other Lenders, shall be deemed to have voted its interest in the Term Loans in the same proportion as the other Lenders) (and shall be deemed to have been voted in the same percentage as all other applicable Lenders voted if necessary to give legal effect to this paragraph); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders may not exceed 25% of the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding at the time of such purchase;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)any such Loans acquired by an Affiliated Lender may, with the consent of the Parent Borrower, be contributed to a Borrower and exchanged for debt or equity securities that are otherwise permitted to be issued at such time (and such Loans or Commitments shall be retired and cancelled promptly) hereunder; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)no Revolving Loan shall be utilized for such purchase by Holdings, any Borrower or any other Subsidiary.

For avoidance of doubt, the foregoing limitations shall not be applicable to Affiliated Institutional Lenders. None of the Borrowers, Holdings, any Subsidiary of Holdings or any Affiliated Lender shall be required to make any representation that it is not in possession of information which is not publicly available and/or material with respect to Holdings, the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries or their respective securities for purposes of U.S. federal and state securities laws and all parties to the relevant transactions shall render customary "big boy" disclaimer letters.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.7<u>Replacements of Lenders Under Certain Circumstances</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Parent Borrower, at its cost and expense (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be shared with the replacement institution with such institution's consent), shall be permitted (x) to replace any Lender or (y) terminate the Commitment of such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, and (1) in the case of a Lender (other than the Letter of Credit Issuer), repay (or cause the Borrowers to repay) all Obligations of the Borrowers due and owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date and (2) in the case of the Letter of Credit Issuer, repay (or cause the Borrowers to repay) all Obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Letter of Credit Issuer relating to the Loans and participations held by the Letter of Credit Issuer as of such termination date and cancel or backstop on terms satisfactory to such Letter of Credit Issuer any Letters of Credit issued by it that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to <u>Sections 2.10</u> or <u>5.4</u>, (b) is affected in the manner described in <u>Section 2.10(a)(iii)</u> and as a result thereof any of the actions described in such Section is required to be taken, or (c) becomes a Defaulting Lender, with a replacement bank or other financial institution; <u>provided</u> that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default under <u>Sections 11.1</u> or <u>11.5</u> (solely with respect to a Borrower) shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the Borrowers shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all Loans and other amounts pursuant to <u>Sections 2.10</u>, <u>2.11</u>, <u>5.4</u> or <u>13.5</u>, as the case may be, owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, an Affiliate of the Lender, an Affiliated Lender or an Approved Fund, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (v) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender shall be subject to <u>Section 13.6(a)</u>, (vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with <u>Section 13.6</u> (<u>provided</u> that unless otherwise agreed the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), and (vii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrowers, 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;(b)If any Lender (such Lender, a "**Non-Consenting Lender**") has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that pursuant to the terms of <u>Section 13.1</u> requires the consent (i) of all of the Lenders (or all of the Lenders of any particular Class) directly and adversely affected or (ii) of all of the Lenders (or all of the Lenders of any particular Class), and, in each case, with respect to which at least a majority in interest of the requisite group of Lenders shall have

#101458425v1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

granted their consent, then, the Parent Borrower, at its cost and expense (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be shared with the replacement institution with such institution's consent), shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to (x) replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans, and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (to the extent such consent would be required under <u>Section 13.6)</u> or to terminate the Commitment of such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, and (1) in the case of a Lender (other than the Letter of Credit Issuer), repay all Obligations of the Borrowers due and owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date and (2) in the case of the Letter of Credit Issuer, repay all Obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Letter of Credit Issuer relating to the Loans and participations held by the Letter of Credit Issuer as of such termination date and cancel or backstop on terms satisfactory to such Letter of Credit Issuer any Letters of Credit issued by it); <u>provided</u> that (a) all Obligations hereunder of the Borrowers owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment including any amounts that such Lender may be owed pursuant to <u>Section 2.11</u> and (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof *plus* accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and (c) the Borrowers shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender the amount, if any, owing to such Lender pursuant to <u>Section 5.1(b)</u> or <u>Section 5.1(c) (as applicable)</u>. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with <u>Section 13.6</u> (with the Borrowers or replacement lender responsible for payment of the registration and processing fee).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party hereto agrees that any assignment pursuant to the terms of this <u>Section 13.7</u> may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender making such assignment need not be a party thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.8<u>Adjustments; Set-off</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Except as contemplated in <u>Section 13.6</u> or elsewhere herein, if any Lender (a **"Benefited Lender**") shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in <u>Section 11.5</u>, or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender that would otherwise share ratably with respect to the Loans of the applicable Class, if any, in respect of such other Lender's Loans, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from such other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender's Loan, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds 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;(b)After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Credit Parties, any such notice being expressly waived by the Credit Parties to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Credit Parties hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) (other than payroll, trust, tax, fiduciary, and petty cash accounts), 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 Affiliate, branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Credit Parties. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; <u>provided</u> that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers in the Agreement Currency, the Borrowers agree, as a separate joint and several obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrowers (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.21<u>No Fiduciary Duty</u>. Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the "**Lenders**"), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Credit Parties, their stockholders and/or their affiliates. Each Credit Party agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Credit Party, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm's-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Credit Party, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Credit Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Credit Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Credit Party, its management, stockholders or creditors. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Credit Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Credit Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.22<u>Obligations Joint and Several</u>.

The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that this Agreement is the independent and several obligation of each Borrower (regardless of which Borrower shall have delivered a Notice of Borrowing) and may be enforced against each Borrower separately, whether or not enforcement of any right or remedy hereunder has been sought against any other Borrower.

Further, the provisions of the Guarantee set forth in <u>Sections 2</u>, <u>4</u> and <u>5</u> thereof are hereby incorporated by reference and shall be deemed to apply to the Obligations of the Borrowers *mutatis mutandis* as if set forth herein.

To the extent that the Credit Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise (including the Guarantees), for any Hedge Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, "**QFC Credit Support**", and each such QFC, a "**Supported QFC**"), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the "**U.S. Special Resolution Regimes**") in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Credit Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

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