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

---

On March 26, 2026, Delek Logistics Partners, LP, as the borrower, and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Partnership" and occasionally referred to herein as "we," "us" and "our") entered into a credit agreement (the "New Credit Agreement") with Truist Bank ("Truist"), as administrative agent, a syndicate of lenders, Bank of America, N.A., Citizens Bank, N.A., The Huntington National Bank, Mizuho Bank, Ltd., MUFG Bank, Ltd. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as co-syndication agents, and Barclays Bank PLC, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. and Regions Bank, as co-documentation agents. The New Credit Agreement provides for revolving commitments up to $1,300.0 million in the aggregate with a sublimit up to $150.0 million for letters of credit and up to $50.0 million for swing line loans (the "Revolving Facility"). The Revolving Facility replaces the Partnership's existing revolving credit facility and term loan facility under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2022, as amended or amended and restated from time to time (the "Prior Credit Agreement"), with Fifth Third Bank, National Association ("Fifth Third"), as administrative agent; a syndicate of lenders, Fifth Third, BofA Securities Inc., PNC Bank Capital Markets LLC, MUFG Bank, Ltd., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Citizens Bank, N.A. and Royal Bank of Canada, as co-syndication agents, and Barclays Bank PLC, U.S. Bank National Association, Regions Bank and Truist Bank, as co-documentation agents. The Prior Credit Agreement was refinanced by the New Credit Agreement.

The maturity date for the Revolving Facility is the earliest of (i) March 26, 2031, (ii) the date that is 180 days prior to the earliest maturity date of the Partnership's 8.625% Senior Notes due 2029 under that certain Indenture dated as of March 13, 2024, between the Partnership and Delek Logistics Finance Corp. (the "Outstanding 2029 Notes"), solely to the extent that on such date that is 180 days prior to the earliest maturity date of the Outstanding 2029 Notes, no less than $500.0 million of aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding 2029 Notes remains outstanding on such date, and (iii) such date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) are terminated in whole due to voluntary termination or certain events of default.

The Revolving Facility will be generally used for (i) the repayment of the outstanding borrowings under the Prior Credit Agreement, (ii) working capital purposes, (iii) permitted acquisitions, other permitted investments and expenses incurred in connection therewith, (iv) general corporate purposes, including the making of capital expenditures and the refinancing of existing indebtedness, each as permitted under the New Credit Agreement, (v) restricted payments permitted by the New Credit Agreement, and (vi) any other purpose not expressly prohibited by the Loan Documents (as defined in the New Credit Agreement). The Revolving Facility has an accordion feature that will allow the Partnership to increase the available revolving borrowings under the facility by an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of (i) $525.0 million and (ii) 100% of EBITDA (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) for the Test Period (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) most recently ended, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions under the New Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest, at the Partnership's election, at either (i) a base rate (equal to the highest of the Prime Rate (as defined in the New Credit Agreement), the Federal Funds Rate (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) plus 0.50%, Term SOFR (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%, and 1.00%) plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.50% per annum, or (ii) a term SOFR-based tranche rate (subject to a 0.00% floor) plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.50% per annum, in each case depending on the Partnership's Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement). Swing loans bear interest at the base rate plus the applicable margin for base rate loans. Unused revolving commitments under the Revolving Facility incur a commitment fee that ranges from 0.30% to 0.50% per annum depending on the Partnership's Total Leverage Ratio.

The New Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants and events of default which the Partnership considers customary and are similar to, but taken as a whole, allow additional flexibility to the Partnership and its restricted subsidiaries as compared with, those in our Prior Credit Agreement. Under the financial covenants in the New Credit Agreement, the Partnership cannot:

• permit, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, the Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) to be greater than 5.25 to 1.00; provided, that during any Temporary Increase Period (as defined in the New Credit Agreement), the Partnership cannot permit the foregoing ratio to be greater than 5.50 to 1.00;

------

• permit, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, the Senior Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) to be greater than 3.75 to 1.00;

• permit, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, the Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) to be equal to or less than 2.00 to 1.00.

The obligations under the New Credit Agreement are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Partnership and the Guarantors (as defined in the New Credit Agreement), including equity interests in their direct restricted subsidiaries and permitted joint ventures, personal property, fixtures, and real estate, in each case subject to certain customary exceptions and excluded assets set forth in the New Credit Agreement.

The New Credit Agreement is governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full New Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. The representations and warranties of the borrowers in the New Credit Agreement were made only for purposes of that agreement and as of specific dates and were solely for the benefit of the lenders party thereto. The New Credit Agreement is a contractual document that establishes and governs the legal relations among the parties thereto and is not intended to be a source of factual, business, or operational information about the Partnership and its subsidiaries. The representations and warranties made by the borrowers in the New Credit Agreement may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Accordingly, investors and security holders should not rely on such representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances.

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

---

On March 26, 2026, the Partnership repaid in full all outstanding indebtedness under the Prior Credit Agreement, the Prior Credit Agreement was replaced by the New Credit Agreement, and all liabilities and obligations under the Prior Credit Agreement were satisfied in full as of that date (other than certain indemnities and contingent obligations which, by the express terms of the Prior Credit Agreement, survive the replacement of the credit facilities). The Partnership funded the repayment of its obligations under the Prior Credit Agreement with borrowings under the New Credit Agreement.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.02.

The description of the New Credit Agreement provided above under Item 1.01 is incorporated into this Item 2.03 by reference.

#### Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward-looking statements contained in this report include statements regarding the Partnership's anticipated borrowing capacity, expected uses of proceeds under the New Credit Agreement, the ability to increase commitments, the Partnership's ability to maintain compliance with the financial covenants, and the Partnership's expectations regarding the sufficiency of borrowing availability under the New Credit Agreement.

Forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including "may," "will," "could," "should," "would," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "plan," "project," "predict," "potential," "continue" or similar terminology, or the negative thereof, though the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

------

These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Partnership's control, including, but not limited to: changes in general economic conditions, including the impact of inflation, interest rates and commodity prices; the ability to comply with the covenants and other terms of the New Credit Agreement; the impact of changes in benchmark interest rates on borrowing costs under the New Credit Agreement; the ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service obligations under the New Credit Agreement; changes in laws and regulations applicable to the Partnership's business; the ability to maintain the security interests and collateral contemplated by the New Credit Agreement; the impact of any change of control or event of default under the New Credit Agreement; and other risks and uncertainties described in the Partnership's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

All forward-looking statements in this report are based on information available to the Partnership as of the date of filing. The Partnership undertakes no obligation, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

For purposes hereof, the term *"Pricing Date"* means, for any fiscal quarter of the Consolidated Group ending on or after March 31, 2026, the date on which the Administrative Agent is in receipt of the MLP's most recent consolidated financial statements (and, in the case of the year-end financial statements, audit report) for the fiscal quarter then ended, pursuant to Section 6.1. The Applicable Margin shall be established based on the Total Leverage Ratio for the most recently completed fiscal quarter and the Applicable Margin established on a Pricing Date shall remain in effect until the next Pricing Date. If the Borrowers have not delivered the MLP's consolidated financial statements by the date such financial statements (and, in the case of the year-end financial statements, audit report) are required to be delivered under Section 6.1, until such financial statements and audit report are delivered, the Applicable Margin shall be the highest Applicable Margin (*i.e.,* the Total Leverage Ratio shall be deemed to be greater than 4.50 to 1.0). If the Borrowers subsequently deliver such financial statements before the next Pricing Date, the Applicable Margin established by such late delivered financial statements shall take effect from the date of delivery until the next Pricing Date. In all other circumstances, the Applicable Margin established by such financial statements shall be in effect from the Pricing Date that occurs immediately after the end of the fiscal quarter covered by such financial statements until the next Pricing Date. Each determination of the Applicable Margin made by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the foregoing shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the consolidated financial statements of the MLP or for any reason, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrowers, (a) the Total Leverage Ratio as calculated on any Pricing Date was inaccurate and (b) a proper calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio would have resulted in a higher Applicable Margin for any period, then the Borrowers shall automatically and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent, an amount equal

------

to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred from such underpayment so long as such additional amounts are paid within five (5) Business Days of the date that the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers.

*"Application"* is defined in Section 2.3(b).

*"Approved Fund"* means any Person (other than a natural person or a Disqualified Lender) that is (or will be) engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its activities and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

*"Assignment and Assumption"* means an assignment and assumption entered into by a Lender and an Eligible Assignee (with the consent of any party whose consent is required by Section 10.9(b)(iii)), and accepted by the Administrative Agent, in substantially the form of Exhibit F or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent.

*"Authorized Representative"* means those persons shown on the list of officers provided by the Borrowers' Agent on the date hereof, or on any update of any such list provided by the Borrowers' Agent to the Administrative Agent, or any further or different officers of the Borrowers' Agent so named by any Authorized Representative of the Borrowers' Agent in a written notice to the Administrative Agent.

*"Available Cash"* has the meaning set forth in the MLP Partnership Agreement.

"*Available Tenor*" means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, (a) if the then-current Benchmark (or component thereof) is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark that is or may be used for determining the length of an interest period pursuant to this Agreement or (b) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining any frequency of making payments of interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of "Interest Period" pursuant to Section 8.3 (but including any tenor for such Benchmark that is added to the definition of "Interest Period" pursuant to Section 8.3).

*"Bail-In Action"* means the exercise of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority in respect of any liability of an Affected Financial Institution.

*"Bail-In Legislation"* means, (a) with respect to any EEA Member Country implementing Article 55 of Directive 2014/59/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union, the implementing law for such EEA Member Country from time to time which is described in the EU Bail-In Legislation Schedule and (b) with respect to the United Kingdom, Part I of the United Kingdom Banking Act 2009 (as amended from time to time) and any other law, regulation or rule applicable in the United Kingdom relating to the resolution of unsound or failing banks, investment firms or other financial institutions or their affiliates (other than through liquidation, administration or other insolvency proceedings).

------

*"Bank Product Liability"* means the liability of any Borrower or any Guarantor owing to any of the Lenders, or any Affiliates of such Lenders, arising out of (a) the execution or processing of electronic transfers of funds by automatic clearing house transfer, wire transfer or otherwise to or from the deposit accounts of any Borrower and/or any Guarantor now or hereafter maintained with any of the Lenders or their Affiliates, (b) the acceptance for deposit or the honoring for payment of any check, draft or other item with respect to any such deposit accounts, (c) any other treasury, deposit, disbursement, and cash management services afforded to any Borrower or any Guarantor by any of such Lenders or their Affiliates, and (d) stored value card, commercial credit card, commercial purchase card, and merchant card services.

*"Base Rate"* shall mean for any day a rate per annum equal to the highest of (i) the rate of interest which the Administrative Agent announces from time to time as its prime lending rate, as in effect from time to time (the *"Prime Rate"*), (ii) the Federal Funds Rate, as in effect from time to time, plus 0.50%, (iii) Term SOFR for an Interest Period of one (1) month, plus 1.00% and (iv) one percent (1.00%). The Administrative Agent's prime lending rate is a reference rate and does not necessarily represent the lowest or best rate actually charged to any customer. The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks may make commercial loans or other loans at rates of interest at, above, or below the Administrative Agent's prime lending rate. Any change in the Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, or Term SOFR will be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, or Term SOFR, respectively.

*"Base Rate Loan"* means a Loan bearing interest at a rate specified in Section 2.4(a).

*"Base Rate Term SOFR Determination Day*" has the meaning set forth in the definition of "Term SOFR".

*"Benchmark"* means, initially, the Term SOFR Reference Rate; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event and the related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the Term SOFR Reference Rate or the other then-current Benchmark, then "Benchmark" means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to Section 8.3.

*"Benchmark Replacement"* means, with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, for any then-current Benchmark, the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for Dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; provided that, if the Benchmark Replacement as determined above would be less than 0.00% per annum, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be 0.00% per annum for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

------

*"Benchmark Replacement Adjustment"* means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for each applicable Interest Period and any Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers giving due consideration to (a) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body or (b) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for Dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time (for the avoidance of doubt, such Benchmark Replacement Adjustment shall not be in the form of a reduction to the Applicable Rate).

*"Benchmark Replacement Date"* means a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, which date shall be no later than the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

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

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

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(III) with respect to each Existing Operating Asset Project, at the Borrower's option, for the fiscal quarter in which the respective Permitted Joint Venture commences operations of the applicable Existing Operating Asset Project and for the three (3) immediately succeeding fiscal quarters thereafter, an amount calculated as the EBITDA attributable to such Existing Operating Asset Project for each of the four consecutive fiscal quarters immediately prior to such commencement date (determined based upon (i) actual revenues realized as a result of operations of the relevant Existing Operating Asset during each of such four fiscal quarters and actual expenses incurred from such operations during the same four fiscal quarters or (ii) to the extent such actual revenues and expenses are unavailable, historical revenues and expenses reasonably

------

attributable to such Existing Operating Asset for each of such four fiscal quarters, with such determinations pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) in all instances adjusted on a pro forma basis to account for expenses or gains and other reductions or increases to income reasonably expected to be incurred by such Permitted Joint Venture during the first 365 day period following the date such Permitted Joint Venture commences operations of such Existing Operating Asset Project); provided that, to the extent that such Permitted Joint Venture has made actual cash distributions to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, during the applicable fiscal quarters, the amount set forth in this subclause (III) will be reduced by the amount of such actual cash distributions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing: (A) no Material Project EBITDA Adjustment shall be allowed with respect to any Material Project unless the Borrower shall have satisfied the requirements of Section 6.1(d) with respect thereto; (B) the aggregate amount of all Material Project EBITDA Adjustments relating to Material Projects during any period shall be limited to 25% of the total actual EBITDA of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, including amounts attributable to Permitted Joint Ventures, for such period (which total actual EBITDA shall be determined without including any Material Project EBITDA Adjustments relating to Material Projects); provided that, the aggregate amount of all Material Project EBITDA Adjustments relating to Material Joint Venture Projects during any period shall be limited to 20% of the total actual EBITDA of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period (which total actual EBITDA shall be determined without including any Material Project EBITDA Adjustments relating to Material Joint Venture Projects); and (C) a Material Project EBITDA Adjustment shall be allowed for any Material Joint Venture Project of a Permitted Joint Venture in an amount proportionate to the Loan Parties' pro rata equity ownership of such Permitted Joint Venture.

Furthermore, in the event that the Permian Joint Venture undertakes the Permian Expansion, at the Borrower's option, a Permian Expansion Adjustment Amount may be added to EBITDA for the applicable period; *provided however* that, in no event shall any adjustment to EBITDA pursuant to this paragraph exceed $175,000,000 in the aggregate during any four quarter period.

If since the beginning of any applicable Test Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.12, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated to give *pro forma* effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.12.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Whenever *pro forma* effect is to be given to an acquisition, investment or the implementation of an operational initiative, divestiture, restructuring, integration, insourcing initiative or operational change, action or event before or after the Effective Date, the *pro forma* calculations shall be made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers and include, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of "run-rate" cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating initiatives, other operating improvements and cost synergies (excluding for the avoidance of doubt, revenue synergies) projected by the Borrowers in good faith to be realized as a result of specified actions taken, committed to be taken or expected to be taken (calculated on a *pro forma basis* as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating initiatives, other operating improvements and synergies had been realized on the first day of such period and as if such cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating initiatives, other operating improvements and synergies were realized during the entirety of such period) and "run-rate" means the full recurring benefit for a period that is associated with any action taken, committed to be taken or expected to be taken (including any savings expected to result from the elimination of a public target's compliance costs with public company requirements) net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions, and any such adjustments shall be included in the initial *pro forma* calculations of such financial ratios or tests and during any subsequent Test Period in which the effects thereof are expected to be realized relating to the Transactions, such transaction or such implementation of an operational initiative or operational change; *provided* that (A) such cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating initiatives, other operating improvements and synergies are factually supportable and reasonably identifiable in the good faith judgment of the Borrower, (B) such cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating initiatives, other operating improvements and synergies are factually supportable and reasonably anticipated to result from the actions taken or expected to be taken in the good faith judgment of the Borrowers within 24 months after the date of determination, (C) no amounts shall be added pursuant to this Section 1.12(c) to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in computing EBITDA, whether through a *pro forma* adjustment or otherwise, with respect to such period; and (D) any increase in EBITDA as a result of cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating initiatives, other operating improvements and synergies pursuant to this Section 1.12(c) shall be subject to the limitation set forth in the last proviso to each of clauses (a)(xii) and (a)(xiii) of the definition of "EBITDA". The Borrowers may estimate GAAP results if the financial statements with respect to a Permitted Acquisition or any other permitted Investment are not maintained in accordance with GAAP, and the Borrowers may make such further adjustments as reasonably necessary in connection with consolidation of such financial statements with those of the Borrowers and the Subsidiaries.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) In the event that the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or guarantees) or repays (including by redemption, repayment, amortization, retirement or extinguishment) any Indebtedness included in the calculations of any financial ratio or test (in each case, other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility or line of credit unless accompanied by a permanent commitment reduction), (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) subject to Section 1.12(a) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated giving *pro forma* effect to such incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness, to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) At any time prior to the first applicable test date under Section 6.20, any provision requiring the *pro forma* compliance with Section 6.20 shall be made assuming that compliance with the Total Leverage Ratio, Senior Leverage Ratio or Interest Coverage Ratio, as applicable, set forth in Section 6.20 for the first Test Period set forth in Section 6.20 is required with respect to the most recent Test Period prior to such time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) In connection with the calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio, the Senior Leverage Ratio or the Interest Coverage Ratio, as applicable, for purposes of calculating any basket that is subject to a financial ratio or test under this Agreement, no effect (*pro forma* or otherwise) shall be given to amounts incurred or transactions entered into or consummated on the same date (or on a subsequent date which otherwise requires pro forma effect to be given to such amounts incurred), or transactions entered into or consummated pursuant to any fixed dollar basket or basket based on EBITDA. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in calculating the Total Leverage Ratio, the Senior Leverage Ratio or the Interest Coverage Ratio in connection with the establishment of a commitment with respect to any revolving credit facility, the Borrowers shall have the option to treat any such revolving facility (or if an increase in the commitment thereof, the amount of such increase) as fully drawn at the time of establishing such revolving commitment, and, if such Total Leverage Ratio, the Senior Leverage Ratio or the Interest Coverage Ratio, as applicable, is satisfied with respect thereto at such time, any subsequent borrowing or other incurrence thereunder need not satisfy such leverage ratio at the time of such subsequent borrowing of revolving loans.

SECTION 2 THE CREDIT FACILITIES.

*Section 2.1 <u>[Reserved]</u>*.

------

*Section 2.2 <u>Revolving Loans</u>*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Revolving Loans*. Prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, each Lender, by its acceptance hereof, severally and not jointly agrees, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to make a revolving loan or loans (each individually a *"Revolving Loan"* and, collectively, the *"Revolving Loans"*) in Dollars to the Borrowers from time to time on a revolving basis up to the amount of such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment in effect at such time; *provided, however,* the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans, Swing Loans and L/C Obligations at any time outstanding shall not exceed the sum of all Revolving Credit Commitments in effect at such time. Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be made ratably by the Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolver Percentages. As provided in Section 2.5(a), and subject to the terms hereof, the Borrowers may elect that each Borrowing of Revolving Loans be either Base Rate Loans or Tranche Rate Loans. Revolving Loans may be repaid and reborrowed before the Revolving Credit Termination Date, subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Revolving Credit Commitment Increases*. The Borrowers' Agent shall be entitled to request, either on the Effective Date or at any time, and from time to time, prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, that the Revolving Credit Commitments be increased by an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of (i) $525,000,000 and (ii) 100% of EBITDA for the Test Period most recently ended (such additional Revolving Credit Commitments are referred to herein as the "*Additional Commitments*"); *provided* that (x) each request for a Revolving Credit Commitment increase shall be in a minimum amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and (y) no more than four requests for a Revolving Credit Commitment increase may be made during any consecutive twelve-month period; and *provided further* that, subject to Section 1.7, (i) no Default or Event of Default exists at the time of such request or the effective date of such Additional Commitments, including with respect to the covenants contained in Section 6.20 as reflected in the officer's certificate required and most recently delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(c) and, on a *pro forma* basis, (ii) all representations and warranties contained in <u>Section</u> <u>5</u> hereof and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (where not already qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, otherwise in all respects) on the date of such request and on the effective date of such Additional Commitments, except to the extent the same expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (where not already qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, otherwise in all respects) as of such earlier date, (iii) the Borrowers' Agent gives the Administrative Agent five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as accepted by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) prior written notice of such election, (iv) no Lender shall be obligated to increase such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment without such Lender's prior written consent, which may be withheld in such Lender's sole discretion, and (v) any Person providing any Additional Commitment amount that is not already a Lender must be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Borrowers' Agent. Upon the effectiveness of any Additional Commitments, (i) each Lender hereunder immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Additional Commitments will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each increasing Lender, and each increasing Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Lender's participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Loans, if applicable, such that, after giving effect to each deemed assignment and assumption of participations, all of the Lenders' (including each increasing Lender) (A) participations

------

hereunder in Letters of Credit and (B) participations hereunder in Swing Loans shall be held on a pro rata basis on the basis of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments (after giving effect to any increase in the aggregate Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.2(b)) and (ii) each Lender hereunder immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Additional Commitments will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned Loans to the other Lenders (including the increasing Lenders), and such other Lenders (including the increasing Lenders) shall be deemed to have purchased such Loans, in each case to the extent necessary so that all of the Lenders participate in each outstanding borrowing of Revolving Loans *pro rata* on the basis of their respective Revolving Credit Commitment (after giving effect to any Additional Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.2(b)); it being understood and agreed that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing, pro rata payment and funding indemnity requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. In connection with any such increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments the parties shall execute any documents reasonably requested in connection with or to evidence such increase, including without limitation an amendment to this Agreement. The Borrower agrees to pay any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent relating to any Additional Commitments and arrangement fees related thereto as agreed upon in writing between Administrative Agent and the Borrowers' Agent. In the event of any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.2(b), the L/C Sublimit and the Swing Line Sublimit shall increase automatically *pro rata* on a percentage basis (i.e. any percentage increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section shall result in an equal percentage increase the Swing Line Sublimit and the L/C Sublimit). Any Revolving Credit Commitment increase under this Agreement shall be implemented pursuant to an amendment (an *"Incremental Amendment"*) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by each Borrower, each existing Lender agreeing to provide such Revolving Credit Commitment, if any, each additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to give effect the provisions of this Section 2.2(b), notwithstanding anything to the contrary otherwise contained in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Adjustments.* On the date (*"Funding Date"*) of any future increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments permitted by this Agreement (which date shall be designated by the Administrative Agent, after consultation with the Borrowers' Agent), each Lender who has an Additional Commitment shall fund to the Administrative Agent such amounts as may be required to cause each such Lender to hold its Revolver Percentage of Loans based upon the Revolving Credit Commitments as of such Funding Date, and the Administrative Agent shall distribute the funds so received, if necessary, to the other Lenders in such amounts as may be required to cause each of them to hold its Revolver Percentage of Loans as of such Funding Date. The first payment of interest and Letter of Credit fees received by the Administrative Agent after such Funding Date shall be paid to the Lenders in amounts adjusted to reflect the adjustments of their respective Revolver Percentages as of the Funding Date. On the Funding Date each Lender shall be deemed to have either sold or purchased, as applicable, Participating Interests so that upon consummation of all such sales and purchases, each Lender, other than any Lender acting as a L/C Issuer, holds an undivided participating interest in each Letter of Credit and each Reimbursement Obligation equal to such Revolver Percentage as of such Funding Date.

*Section 2.3 <u>Letters of Credit</u>*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *General Terms.* Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as part of the Revolving Credit, each L/C Issuer agrees to issue Letters of Credit for each Borrower's account in an aggregate undrawn face amount up to the L/C Sublimit; *provided* that, no Letter of Credit shall be issued (or amended, renewed or extended) by any L/C Issuer unless (A) such L/C Issuer shall have given to the Administrative Agent written notice thereof required under Section 2.3(i) hereunder, and (B) after giving effect to such issuance (or amendment, renewal or extension) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans, Swing Loans and L/C Obligations at any time outstanding shall not exceed the sum of all Revolving Credit Commitments in effect at such time. Each Lender shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for such Lender's Revolver Percentage of the amount of each drawing under a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms hereof and, accordingly, each Letter of Credit shall constitute usage of the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Lender *pro rata* in an amount equal to its Revolver Percentage of the L/C Obligations then outstanding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Applications.* At any time before the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the applicable L/C Issuer shall, at the request of the Borrowers' Agent, issue one or more Letters of Credit in Dollars, in form and substance acceptable to such L/C Issuer, with expiration dates no later than the earlier of 12 months from the date of issuance (or which are cancelable not later than 12 months from the date of issuance and each renewal) or 30 days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date (unless the Borrowers have provided Cash Collateral in compliance with the requirements of Section 4.5 as security for such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to 103% of the full amount then available for drawing under such Letter of Credit) in an aggregate face amount as set forth in Section 2.3(a), upon the receipt of a duly executed application for the relevant Letter of Credit in the form then customarily prescribed by the L/C Issuer for the Letter of Credit requested (each an *"Application"*). Notwithstanding anything contained in any Application to the contrary: (i) the Borrowers shall pay fees in connection with each Letter of Credit as set forth in Section 2.13(b), and (ii) if the applicable L/C Issuer is not timely reimbursed for the amount of any drawing under a Letter of Credit on the date such drawing is paid, the Borrowers' obligation to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of such drawing shall bear interest (which the Borrowers hereby promise to pay) from and after the date such drawing is paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed); *provided*, *however*, that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified Event of Default, upon the election of the Administrative Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Lenders with written notice to the Borrowers, or upon acceleration, the interest on such drawing shall be equal to the foregoing applicable rate per annum plus 2.00%. Without limiting the

------

foregoing, each L/C Issuer's obligation to issue, amend or extend the expiration date of a Letter of Credit is subject to the terms or conditions of this Agreement (including any applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.1 and the other terms of this Section 2.3). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue, extend or amend any Letter of Credit if any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder unless the Borrowers have, or such Defaulting Lender has, provided Cash Collateral in compliance with Section 4.5 sufficient to eliminate the L/C Issuer's risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *The Reimbursement Obligations.* Subject to Section 2.3(b), the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse an L/C Issuer for all drawings under a Letter of Credit (a *"Reimbursement Obligation"*) shall be governed by the Application related to such Letter of Credit and this Agreement, except that reimbursement shall be paid by no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date which each drawing is to be paid if the Borrowers have been informed of such drawing by such L/C Issuer on or before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date when such drawing is to be paid or, if notice of such drawing is given to the Borrowers after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date when such drawing is to be paid, by 3:00 pm (New York City time) on the next Business Day, in all instances in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent's principal office in New York, New York or such other office as the Administrative Agent may designate in writing to the Borrowers, and the Administrative Agent shall thereafter cause to be distributed to the applicable L/C Issuer such amount(s) in like funds. If the Borrowers do not make any such reimbursement payment on the date due and the Participating Lenders fund their participations in the manner set forth in Section 2.3(d) below, then all payments thereafter received by the Administrative Agent in discharge of any of the relevant Reimbursement Obligations shall be distributed in the currency received in accordance with Section 2.3(d) below. In addition, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and each Lender, the Borrowers agree that, notwithstanding any provision of any Application, their obligations under this Section 2.3(c) and each Application shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Applications, under all circumstances whatsoever, and irrespective of any claim or defense that the Borrowers may otherwise have against the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender, including without limitation (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document; (ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Loan Document; (iii) the existence of any claim, of set-off the Borrowers may have at any time against a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom a beneficiary may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, another Loan Document, the transaction related to the Loan Document or any unrelated transaction; (iv) any statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (v) payment by the Administrative Agent or an L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation to the Administrative Agent or an L/C Issuer of a draft or certificate that does not comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit, or (vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Administrative Agent or an L/C Issuer, any Lender or any other

------

Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.3(c), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrowers' obligations hereunder or under an Application. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, or the L/C Issuers shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the L/C Issuer; *provided* that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the L/C Issuers from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by the applicable L/C Issuer's failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any L/C Issuer or its employee or agent (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment), such L/C Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *The Participating Interests.* Each Lender (other than the Lender acting as L/C Issuer with respect to the applicable Letter of Credit) severally and not jointly agrees to purchase from the L/C Issuers, and each such L/C Issuer hereby agrees to sell to each such Lender (a *"Participating Lender"*), an undivided participating interest (a *"Participating Interest"*) to the extent of its Revolver Percentage in each Letter of Credit issued by, and each Reimbursement Obligation owed to, such L/C Issuer. Upon Borrowers' failure to pay any Reimbursement Obligation on the date and at the time required, or if an L/C Issuer is required at any time to return to the Borrowers or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other Person any portion of any payment of any Reimbursement Obligation, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have made a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and each Participating Lender shall, not later than the Business Day it receives a certificate in the form of Exhibit A hereto from such L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) to such effect, if such certificate is received before 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), or not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) the following Business Day, if such certificate is received after such time, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer an amount equal to such Participating Lender's Revolver Percentage of such unpaid or recaptured Reimbursement Obligation together with interest on such amount accrued from the date the applicable L/C Issuer made the related payment to the date of such payment by such Participating Lender at a rate per

------

annum equal to: (i) from the date the related payment was made by the applicable L/C Issuer to the date two (2) Business Days after payment by such Participating Lender is due hereunder, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation for each such day and (ii) from the date two (2) Business Days after the date such payment is due from such Participating Lender to the date such payment is made by such Participating Lender, the Base Rate in effect for each such day. Each such Participating Lender shall, after making its appropriate payment, be entitled to receive its Revolver Percentage of each payment received in respect of the relevant Reimbursement Obligation and of interest paid thereon, with the applicable L/C Issuer retaining its Revolver Percentage thereof as a Lender hereunder.

The several obligations of the Participating Lenders to the L/C Issuers under this Section 2.3 shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall not be subject to any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which any Participating Lender may have or has had against the Borrowers, the applicable L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such obligations shall not be affected by any Default or Event of Default or by any reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender, and each payment by a Participating Lender under this Section 2.3 shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) *Indemnification.* The Participating Lenders shall, severally, to the extent of their respective Revolver Percentages, indemnify each L/C Issuer (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from an L/C Issuer's gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment) that an L/C Issuer may suffer or incur in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it. The obligations of the Participating Lenders under this Section 2.3(e) and all other parts of this Section 2.3 shall survive termination of this Agreement and of all Applications, Letters of Credit, and all drafts and other documents presented in connection with drawings thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) *Manner of Requesting a Letter of Credit.* The Borrowers' Agent shall provide at least three (3) Business Days' advance written notice to the Administrative Agent (or such lesser notice as the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer may agree in their sole discretion) of each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, each such notice to be accompanied by a properly completed and executed Application for the requested Letter of Credit and, in the case of an extension or amendment or an increase in the amount of a Letter of Credit, a written request therefor, in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer, in each case, together with the fees called for by this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable L/C Issuer of the Administrative Agent's receipt of each such notice (and the applicable L/C Issuer shall be entitled to assume that the conditions precedent to any such issuance, extension, amendment or increase have been satisfied unless notified to the contrary by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders) and the applicable L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of the issuance of a Letter of Credit.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) *Conflict with Application*. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and the terms of any Application, the terms of this Agreement shall control. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, any Application or any other document related to issuing a Letter of Credit, any grant of a security interest pursuant to any Application shall be null and void.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) *Increases in the L/C Sublimit.* The L/C Sublimit may be increased pursuant to Section 2.2(b).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) *L/C Issuer Reports to Administrative Agent*. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section 2.3, report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be requested by the Administrative Agent) in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) reasonably prior to the time that such L/C Issuer issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension and the face amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by such L/C Issuer outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such L/C Issuer honors any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the date and amount of the drawing so honored, (iv) on any Business Day on which any Borrower fails to reimburse any drawing under a Letter of Credit as required hereunder, the date of such failure and the amount of such unreimbursed drawing, and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Designation of Additional L/C Issuer; Termination of any L/C Issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Borrowers' Agent may, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) designate as additional L/C Issuers one or more Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided in this Section. The acceptance by a Lender of an appointment as an L/C Issuer hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, executed by the Borrowers' Agent, the Administrative Agent and such designated Lender and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (A) such Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement and (B) references herein to the term L/C Issuer shall be deemed to include such Lender in its capacity as an issuer of Letters of Credit hereunder.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) The Borrowers' Agent may terminate the appointment of any L/C Issuer as an L/C Issuer hereunder by providing a written notice thereof to such L/C Issuer, with a copy to the Administrative Agent. Any such termination shall become effective upon the earlier of (A) such L/C Issuer acknowledging receipt of such notice and (B) the 10<sup>th</sup> Business Day following the date of the delivery thereof; *provided* that no such termination shall become effective until and unless the L/C Obligations attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer shall have been reduced to zero. At the time any such termination shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the terminated L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.13(b). Notwithstanding the effectiveness of any such termination, the terminated L/C Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not issue any additional Letters of Credit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) *Responsibility of each L/C Issuer*. In determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the sole responsibility of L/C Issuer shall be to examine the documents delivered under such Letter of Credit with reasonable care so as to ascertain whether such documents appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. As between the Borrowers and any L/C Issuer, the Borrowers assume all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any Letters of Credit by, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, none of the L/C Issuers or any of their Related Parties shall have any responsibility for (and none of their rights or powers hereunder shall be affected or impaired by) (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any Person in connection with the application for and issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged, (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason, (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit, *provided* that the L/C Issuer's determination that documents presented under the Letter of Credit complied with the terms thereof did not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of the L/C Issuer (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment), (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any message, by mail, facsimile or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher, (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms, (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit, (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit, or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable L/C Issuer, including any Legal Requirement. Without limiting the foregoing, any act taken or omitted to be taken by an L/C Issuer under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any documents or certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not give rise to any liability on the part of such L/C Issuer to the Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.3(k), the Borrowers shall retain any and all rights it may have against an L/C Issuer for any liability to the extent arising out of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such L/C Issuer, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) *Default Rate.* While any Specified Event of Default exists or after acceleration, unless waived in writing by the Required Lenders, the Borrowers shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the principal amount of all Loans owing by it at a rate per annum equal to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) for any Base Rate Loan and any Swing Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate, the sum of 2.00% per annum plus the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) [Reserved]; 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) for any Tranche Rate Loan, the sum of 2.00% per annum plus the rate of interest in effect thereon at the time of such Specified Event of Default until the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

------

*provided, however,* that in the absence of acceleration (in which case, for the sake of clarity, any increase in interest rates pursuant to this Section and any conversion of Loans into Base Rate Loans shall be automatic), any increase in interest rates pursuant to this Section and any conversion of Loans into Base Rate Loans shall be made at the election of the Administrative Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Lenders, with written notice to the Borrowers. While any Event of Default exists or after acceleration, accrued interest shall be paid on demand of the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) *Rate Determinations.* The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations hereunder, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive and binding except in the case of manifest error.

*Section 2.5 <u>Manner of Borrowing Loans and Designating Applicable Interest Rates</u>*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Notice to the Administrative Agent.* The Borrowers' Agent shall give notice to the Administrative Agent by no later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time): (i) one Business Day before the Effective Date with respect to any request by the Borrowers' Agent to the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Tranche Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one (1) month on the Effective Date, (ii) at least three (3) Business Days before the date on which the Borrowers' Agent requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Tranche Rate Loans after the Effective Date; and (iii) on the date the Borrowers' Agent requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate specified in such notice. Thereafter, the Borrowers' Agent may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Borrowing or, subject to Section 2.6, a portion thereof, as follows: (i) if such Borrowing is of Tranche Rate Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrowers' Agent may continue part or all of such Borrowing as Tranche Rate Loans or convert part or all of such Borrowing into Base Rate Loans, or (ii) if such Borrowing is of Base Rate Loans, on any Business Day, the Borrowers may convert all or part of such Borrowing into Tranche Rate Loans for an Interest Period or Interest Periods specified by the Borrowers' Agent. The Borrowers' Agent shall give all such notices requesting the advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing to the Administrative Agent by email (with a pdf copy of the applicable fully-executed notice), telephone, or telecopy (which notice shall be irrevocable once given and, if by telephone, shall be promptly confirmed in writing in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (Notice of Borrowing) or Exhibit C (Notice of Continuation/Conversion), as applicable, or in such other form acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Notice of (i) the continuation of a Borrowing of Tranche Rate Loans for an additional Interest Period, or (ii) the conversion of part or all of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans into Tranche Rate Loans, must be given, in each instance, by no later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) at least three (3) Business Days before the date of the requested continuation or conversion. Notice of the conversion of part or all of a Borrowing of Tranche Rate Loans on any day other than the last day of its Interest Period into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans must be given, in each instance, by no later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) at least two (2) Business Days before the date of

------

the requested conversion. All notices concerning the advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing shall specify the date of the requested advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), the amount of the requested Borrowing to be advanced, continued or converted, the type of Loans to comprise such new, continued or converted Borrowing and, if such Borrowing is to be comprised of Tranche Rate Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto. The Borrowers agree that the Administrative Agent may rely on any such email, telephonic or telecopy notice given by any person the Administrative Agent in good faith believes is an Authorized Representative without the necessity of independent investigation (the Borrowers hereby indemnify the Administrative Agent from any liability or loss ensuing from such reliance) and, in the event any such notice by telephone conflicts with any written confirmation, such telephonic notice shall govern if the Administrative Agent has acted in reliance thereon.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Notice to the Lenders*. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic or telecopy, or e-mail notice to each Lender of any notice from the Borrowers' Agent received pursuant to Section 2.5(a) above and, if such notice requests the Lenders to make Tranche Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrowers' Agent and each Lender of the interest rate applicable thereto promptly after the Administrative Agent has made such determination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Borrower's Failure to Notify; Automatic Continuations and Conversions*; *Automatic Extensions of Revolving Loans if Reimbursement Obligations Not Repaid*. If the Borrowers' Agent fails to give proper notice of the continuation or conversion of any outstanding Borrowing of Tranche Rate Loans before the last day of its then current Interest Period within the period required by Section 2.5(a) and such Borrowing is not prepaid in accordance with Section 2.8(a), any such Borrowing of Tranche Rate Loans shall automatically be converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. In the event the Borrowers' Agent fails to give notice pursuant to Section 2.5(a) of a Borrowing equal to the amount of a Reimbursement Obligation and has not notified the Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day such Reimbursement Obligation becomes due that it intends to repay such Reimbursement Obligation through funds not borrowed under this Agreement, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested (i) with respect to Reimbursement Obligations arising from any Letter of Credit, a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit (or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, under the Swing Line), in any event on such day in the amount of the Reimbursement Obligation then due, which such Borrowing, if otherwise available hereunder, shall be applied to pay the Reimbursement Obligation then due.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Disbursement of Loans*. Not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of any requested advance of a new Borrowing, subject to Section 3, each Lender shall make available its Loan comprising part of such Borrowing in funds immediately available at the principal office of the Administrative Agent in New York, New York. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of each new Borrowing available to the Borrowers at the Administrative Agent's principal office in New York, New York.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) *Administrative Agent Reliance on Lender Funding.* Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on) the date on which such Lender is scheduled to make available to the Administrative Agent of its share of a Borrowing (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such Lender does not intend to make such share available, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with Section 2.5(d) when due and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (but shall not be required to) make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount (each such advance, a *"Disproportionate Advance"*) and, if any Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall, on demand, make available to the Administrative Agent the Disproportionate Advance attributable to such Lender together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such Disproportionate Advance was made available to the Borrowers and ending on (but excluding) the date such Lender makes available such Disproportionate Advance to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to: (i) from the date the Disproportionate Advance was made by the Administrative Agent to the date 2 Business Days after payment by such Lender is due hereunder, the greater of, for each such day, (1) the Federal Funds Rate and (2) an overnight rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, *plus* any standard administrative or processing fees charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with such Lender's non-payment and (ii) from the date 2 Business Days after the date such share of the applicable Borrowing is due from such Lender to the date such payment is made by such Lender, the Base Rate in effect for each such day. If such amount is not received from such Lender by the Administrative Agent immediately upon demand, the Borrowers will, promptly following written demand from the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of the Loan attributable to such Disproportionate Advance with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan. If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrowers under this Section shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

*Section 2.6 <u>Minimum Borrowing Amounts</u>*. Each Borrowing of Base Rate Loans advanced under the Revolving Credit shall be in an amount not less than $100,000. Each Borrowing of Tranche Rate Loans advanced, continued or converted under the Revolving Credit shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or such greater amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000. Without the Administrative Agent's consent, there shall not be more than twelve (12) Borrowings of Tranche Rate Loans, in the aggregate, outstanding at any one time.

------

*Section 2.7 <u>Maturity of Loans</u>*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *[Reserved].*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Revolving Loans and Swing Loans*. Each Revolving Loan and each Swing Loan, both for principal and interest not sooner paid, shall mature and become due and payable by the Borrowers on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

*Section 2.8 <u>Prepayments</u>*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Voluntary*. The Borrowers may prepay without premium or penalty and in whole or in part any Borrowing of (i) Tranche Rate Loans at any time upon 3 Business Days prior notice by the Borrowers' Agent to the Administrative Agent or, (ii) in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, notice delivered by the Borrowers' Agent to the Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of prepayment (or, in any case, such shorter time period then agreed to by the Administrative Agent), such prepayment to be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and, in the case of any Tranche Rate Loans, accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for prepayment; *provided, however,* the Borrowers may not partially repay a Borrowing (i) if such Borrowing is of Base Rate Loans (other than a Swing Loan), in a principal amount less than $500,000, (ii) if such Borrowing is of Tranche Rate Loans, in a principal amount less than $1,000,000, and (iii) in each case, unless it is in an amount such that the minimum amount required for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.6 remains outstanding. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise each Lender of any notice of prepayment by the Borrowers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Mandatory*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 for any reason the aggregate outstanding amount of Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations at any time exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, the Borrowers shall within two (2) Business Days after receipt of written notice from the Administrative Agent or becoming aware of such excess prepay the Revolving Loans or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; *<u>provided</u>* that the Borrowers shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>2.8(b)(i)</u> unless, after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Loans, such aggregate outstanding amount exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) The Borrowers shall, on each date the Revolving Credit Commitments are reduced pursuant to Section 2.10, prepay the Revolving Loans and, if necessary, Swing Loans and, if necessary, in accordance with Section 4.5, Cash Collateralize 103% of the then-outstanding L/C Obligations by the amount, if any, necessary to reduce the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans, Swing Loans and L/C Obligations then outstanding to the amount to which the Revolving Credit Commitments have been so reduced; 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) Unless the Borrowers otherwise direct, prepayments of Loans under this Section 2.8(b) shall be applied first to Borrowings of Base Rate Loans until payment in full thereof with any balance applied to Borrowings of Tranche Rate Loans in the order in which their Interest Periods expire. Each prepayment of Loans under this Section 2.8(b) shall be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and, in the case of any Tranche Rate Loans, accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. Each prefunding of L/C Obligations shall be made in accordance with Section 4.5.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Administrative Agent will promptly advise each Lender of any notice of prepayment it receives from the Borrowers, and in the case of any partial prepayment, such prepayment shall be applied to the remaining amortization payments on the relevant Loans on a ratable basis (in accordance with the outstanding principal amounts thereof) until such Loans are paid in full.

*Section 2.9 <u>Place and Application of Payments</u>*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *General Terms*. All payments of principal of and interest on the Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations, and of all other Obligations payable by the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall be made by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent by no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the due date thereof at the office of the Administrative Agent in New York, New York (or such other location as the Administrative Agent may designate to the Borrowers' Agent in writing) for the benefit of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto. Any payments received after such time shall be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent on the next Business Day. All such payments shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds at the place of payment, in each case without set-off or counterclaim. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest on Loans and on Reimbursement Obligations in which the Lenders have purchased Participating Interests ratably to the Lenders and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.* Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers' Agent prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or an L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to: (i) from the date the distribution was made to the date two (2) Business Days after payment by such Lender is due hereunder, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) from the date two (2) Business Days after the date such payment is due from such Lender to the date such payment is made by such Lender, the Base Rate then in effect for each such date.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Application of Collateral Proceeds Before Default*. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, subject to Section 2.8(b), all payments and collections received in respect of the Obligations and all proceeds of Collateral shall (subject to the other terms of this Agreement) be applied by the Administrative Agent against the outstanding Obligations as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) *first*, to any outstanding fees, charges, and expenses then due to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) *second*, to outstanding interest charges then due in respect of the Obligations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) *third*, to the outstanding principal balance of the Swing Loans until all outstanding Swing Loans are paid 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) *fourth*, to the outstanding principal balance of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations in respect of amounts drawn under Letters of Credit on a ratable basis (in accordance with the outstanding principal amounts thereof) until all Loans and Reimbursement Obligations are paid in full; 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) *finally*, to be made available to the Borrowers or whoever else may be lawfully entitled thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Application of Collateral Proceeds after an Event of Default*. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (x) pursuant to the exercise of remedies under Sections 7.2 and 7.3 or (y) after written instruction by the Required Lenders after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, all payments and collections received in respect of the Obligations and all proceeds of the Collateral received, in each instance, by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders shall be remitted to the Administrative Agent and distributed as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) *first,* to the payment of any outstanding costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, and any security trustee therefor, in monitoring, verifying, protecting, preserving or enforcing the Liens on the Collateral, in protecting, preserving or enforcing rights under the Loan Documents, which the Borrowers have agreed to pay the Administrative Agent under Section 10.12 (such funds to be retained by the Administrative Agent for its own account unless it has previously been reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Lenders, in which event such amounts shall be remitted to the Lenders to reimburse them for payments theretofore made to the Administrative Agent);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) *second,* to the payment of principal and interest on Swing Loans until paid 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;(iii) *third,* to the payment of any outstanding interest (other than on Swing Loans) and fees due under the Loan Documents to be allocated pro rata in accordance with the aggregate unpaid amounts owing to each holder 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;(iv) *fourth,* to the payment of principal on the Loans (other than Swing Loans) on a ratable basis (in accordance with the outstanding principal amounts thereof), unpaid Reimbursement Obligations on a ratable basis (in accordance with the outstanding principal amounts thereof), together with Cash Collateral for any outstanding L/C Obligations on a ratable basis pursuant to Section 7.4 (until the Administrative Agent is holding Cash Collateral equal to 103% of the then outstanding amount of all such L/C Obligations), Bank Product Liability, and Hedging Liability, the aggregate amount paid to, or held as collateral security for, the Lenders and, in the case of Hedging Liability, their Affiliates to be allocated pro rata in accordance with the aggregate unpaid amounts owing to each holder 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;(v) *fifth,* to the payment of all other unpaid Obligations and all other indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities of the Borrowers and their Restricted Subsidiaries secured by the Collateral Documents to be allocated pro rata in accordance with the aggregate unpaid amounts owing to each holder thereof; 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;(vi) *sixth,* to the Borrowers or whoever else may be lawfully entitled thereto.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no proceeds of any Collateral or payment made under or in respect of any Guaranty received from any person who is not an "eligible contract participant" as defined in the Commodities Exchange Act shall be applied to the payment of any Hedging Liability, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from the Borrowers and the Guarantors to preserve the allocation to Hedging Liability otherwise set forth in this Section.

*Section 2.10 <u>Voluntary Revolving Credit Commitment Terminations</u>*. The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon 3 Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period of time agreed to by the Administrative Agent), to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments in whole or in part, any partial termination to be (a) in an amount not less than $1,000,000 and (b) allocated ratably among the Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolver Percentages, *provided* that the Revolving Credit Commitments may not be reduced to an amount less than the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans, Swing Loans and L/C Obligations then outstanding. Any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments below the L/C Sublimit then in effect shall reduce the L/C Sublimit by a like amount. Any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments below the Swing Line Sublimit then in effect shall reduce the Swing Line Sublimit by a like amount. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to each Lender of any such termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments. Any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.10 may not be reinstated.

------

*Section 2.11 <u>Swing Loans</u>*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Generally.* Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as part of the Revolving Credit, the Administrative Agent agrees to make loans in Dollars to the Borrowers under the Swing Line (individually a *"Swing Loan"* and collectively the *"Swing Loans"*) which shall not in the aggregate at any time outstanding exceed the Swing Line Sublimit and ; *provided, however,* the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans, Swing Loans and L/C Obligations at any time outstanding shall not exceed the sum of all Revolving Credit Commitments in effect at such time; The Swing Loans may be availed of by the Borrowers from time to time and borrowings thereunder may be repaid and used again during the period ending on the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Each Swing Loan shall be in a minimum amount of $250,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to make any Swing Loan if any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder unless the Borrowers or such Defaulting Lender has provided Cash Collateral in compliance with Section 4.5 sufficient to eliminate the Swing Line Lender's risk with respect to such Defaulting Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Interest on Swing Loans*. Each Swing Loan shall bear interest until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit as from time to time in effect (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, for the actual number of days elapsed) and interest thereon shall be paid in accordance with Section 2.4(a).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Requests for Swing Loans*. The Borrowers' Agent shall give the Swing Line Lender prior notice (which may be written or oral), no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date upon which the Borrowers' Agent requests that any Swing Loan be made, and of the amount and date of such Swing Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the proceeds of any such Swing Loan shall be made available to the Borrowers on the date so requested at the offices of the Swing Line Lender in New York, New York. Anything contained in the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding (i) the obligation of the Swing Line Lender to make Swing Loans shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (ii) the Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make more than one Swing Loan during any one day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Refunding of Swing Loans*. In its sole and absolute discretion, the Administrative Agent may at any time, at the direction of the Swing Line Lender, on behalf of the Borrowers, (which the Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to act on their behalf for such purpose) and with notice to the Borrowers, request each Lender to make a Revolving Loan in the form of a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender's Revolver Percentage of the amount of the Swing Loans outstanding on the date such notice is given. Unless an Event of Default described in Section 7.1(j) or 7.1(k) exists with respect to any Borrower, regardless of the existence of any other Event of Default, each Lender shall make the proceeds of its requested Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, at the Administrative Agent's principal office in New York, New York before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) one (1) Business Day following the day such notice is given. The proceeds of such Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be immediately applied to repay the outstanding Swing Loans.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) *Participations*. If any Lender refuses or otherwise fails to make a Revolving Loan when requested by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.11(d) above (because an Event of Default described in Section 7.1(j) or 7.1(k) exists with respect to the Borrowers or otherwise), such Lender will, by the time and in the manner such Revolving Loan was to have been funded to the Administrative Agent, purchase from the Administrative Agent an undivided participating interest in the outstanding Swing Loans in an amount equal to its Revolver Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans that were to have been repaid with such Revolving Loans; *provided* that the foregoing purchases shall be deemed made hereunder without any further action by such Lender or the Administrative Agent. Each Lender that so purchases a participation in a Swing Loan shall thereafter be entitled to receive its Revolver Percentage of each payment of principal received on the Swing Loan and of interest received thereon accruing from the date such Lender funded to the Administrative Agent its participation in such Loan. The several obligations of the Lenders under this Section shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever and shall not be subject to any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which any Lender may have or have had against any Borrower, any other Lender or any other Person whatever. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such obligations shall not be affected by any Default or Event of Default or by any reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender, and each payment made by a Lender under this Section shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) *Increases in the Swing Line Sublimit.* The Swing Line Sublimit may be increased pursuant to Section 2.2(b).

*Section 2.12 <u>Evidence of Indebtedness</u>*. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the type thereof and, with respect to Tranche Rate Loans and Swing Loans, the Interest Period with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrowers and each Lender's share thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to Sections 2.12(a) and (b) above shall be *prima facie* evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; *provided, however,* that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Consistent with Section 10.9(c), any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note or notes in the forms of Exhibit D-1 (in the case of its Revolving Loans and referred to herein as a *"Revolving Note"*) or Exhibit D-2 (in the case of its Swing Loans and referred to herein as a *"Swing Note"*), as applicable. In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to the order of such Lender in the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment or Swing Line Sublimit, as applicable. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note or Notes and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 10.9) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 10.9, except to the extent that any such Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in subsections (a) and (b) above.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Commitment Fee*. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders according to their Revolver Percentages a commitment fee at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed) on the actual daily Unused Revolving Commitments; *provided however*, that no commitment fee shall accrue to the Unused Revolving Commitment of a Defaulting Lender, or be payable for the benefit of such Lender, so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. Such commitment fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each December, March, June, and September in each year (commencing on June 30, 2026) and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, unless the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated in whole on an earlier date, in which event the commitment fee for the period to the date of such termination in whole shall be paid on the date of such termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Letter of Credit Fees.* On the date of issuance or extension, or increase in the amount, of any Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.3, the Borrowers shall pay to the relevant L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee equal to (i) 0.125% of the face amount of (or of the increase in the face amount of) such Letter of Credit or (ii) such other amount as any Borrower and any other L/C Issuer hereunder agree with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such other L/C Issuer (in each case, computed on the basis of a year of 360 days (with respect to Tranche Rate Loans) or 365 or 366 days, as the case may be (with respect to Base Rate Loans) and, in each case, the actual number of days elapsed). Quarterly in arrears, on the last Business Day of each December, March, June, and September in each year, commencing on the first such date occurring after the Effective Date, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders according to their Revolver Percentages, a letter of credit fee at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days (with respect to Tranche Rate Loans) or 365 or 366 days, as the case may be (with respect to Base Rate Loans) and, in each case, the actual number of days elapsed) in effect during each day of such quarter applied to the daily average face amount of Letters of Credit outstanding during such quarter; *provided* that, while any Specified Event of Default exists or after acceleration, unless waived in writing by the Required Lenders, such rate shall increase by 2.00% over the rate otherwise

------

payable and such fee shall be paid on demand of the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders; *provided, however,* that in the absence of acceleration, any rate increase pursuant to the foregoing proviso shall be made at the direction of the Administrative Agent, acting at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders; *provided further,* that no letter of credit fee shall accrue to the Revolver Percentage of a Defaulting Lender, or be payable for the benefit of such Lender, so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. In addition, the Borrowers shall pay to each L/C Issuer for its own account such L/C Issuer's standard issuance, drawing, negotiation, amendment, transfer and other administrative fees for each Letter of Credit. Such standard fees referred to in the preceding sentence may be established by each L/C Issuer from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Administrative Agent and Other Fees*. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, the Arrangers and itself, as applicable, the fees agreed to between the Administrative Agent, Truist Securities, Inc. and the Borrowers' Agent in that certain fee letter dated March 9, 2026, or as otherwise agreed to in writing between the Borrowers' Agent and the Administrative Agent.

*Section 2.14 <u>Account Debit</u>*. The Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to charge any Borrower's deposit accounts maintained with the Administrative Agent for the amounts from time to time necessary to pay any then due Obligations; *provided* that the Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent shall not be under an obligation to do so and the Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability to the Borrowers or any other Person for the Administrative Agent's failure to do so.

*Section 2.15 <u>Designation of Additional Borrowers; Appointment of Borrowers</u><u>'</u> <u>Agent as Agent for the Borrowers</u>*.

*Section 5.24 <u>Other Agreements and Documents</u>*. All Material Agreements are in full force and effect and no defaults by any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, or to the knowledge of the General Partner, each Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary, by any third party, to the Material Agreements currently exist under such agreements which individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

With respect to the services provided by the Pipeline and Transportation Systems that are subject to FERC jurisdiction under the Interstate Commerce Act and are not subject to a valid waiver of applicable regulatory requirements granted by FERC, (i) to the knowledge of the General Partner and each Borrower, the rates on file with the FERC are just and reasonable and (ii) to the knowledge of the General Partner and each Borrower, no provision of the tariff containing such rates is unduly discriminatory or preferential. As of the Effective Date, none of the Borrowers, the Borrowers' Restricted Subsidiaries, or any other Person that now owns an interest in any of the Pipeline and Transportation Systems has been within the past three (3) years or is the subject of a material complaint, investigation or other proceeding at the FERC regarding their respective rates or practices with respect to the Pipeline and Transportation Systems. No complaint or investigation is currently pending before the FERC, nor to the knowledge of the General Partner, each Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary is any such complaint or investigation currently contemplated, that could result in, if adversely determined to the position or interest of the Borrowers or their applicable Restricted Subsidiaries, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Replacing Future Benchmarks*.

No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 8.3(b) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) *Benchmark Unavailability Period*. Upon the Borrowers' receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (i) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Tranche Rate Loan, conversion to or continuation of Tranche Rate to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, in the case of any request for any affected Tranche Rate Loan, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans and (ii) during the continuance of any Benchmark Unavailability Period, any outstanding affected Tranche Rate Loans will be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if, after the Effective Date, the Borrowers enter into a Hedge Agreement with respect to all or part of any Borrowing (a *"Swapped Portion"*) and the floating interest rate under the Hedge Agreement is Daily Simple SOFR, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may agree to replace the Tranche Rate hereunder solely in respect of such Swapped Portion with Daily Simple SOFR and a Spread Adjustment without consent of any other party hereto; *provided, further,* if subsequent thereto, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers amend such Hedge Agreement to include, or terminate such Hedge Agreement and enter into a new Hedge Agreement with, a floating interest rate thereunder of Term SOFR, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may further agree to replace Daily Simple SOFR hereunder in respect of such Swapped Portion with Term SOFR (and a Spread Adjustment, if applicable) hereunder without consent of any other party hereto; and, in either such event, (A) Daily Simple SOFR or Term SOFR, as applicable, shall be a Benchmark Replacement hereunder, and (B) the Administrative Agent shall provide written notice thereof to the Lenders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Increased Costs Generally*. If any Change in Law shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including any reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or any successor thereto), special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or any L/C Issuer (except any such reserve requirement reflected in Term SOFR);

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

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) impose on any Lender or any L/C Issuer any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, such L/C Issuer or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, such L/C Issuer or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, such L/C Issuer or other Recipient, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender, such L/C Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, such L/C Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Capital Requirements*. If any Lender or any L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such L/C Issuer or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender's or such L/C Issuer's holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such L/C Issuer's capital or on the capital of such Lender's or such L/C Issuer's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender's or such L/C Issuer's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's or such L/C Issuer's policies and the policies of such Lender's or such L/C Issuer's holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender's or such L/C Issuer's holding company for any such reduction suffered.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Certificates for Reimbursement*. A certificate of a Lender or an L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 8.4(a) or (b) above and certifying that it is the general practice and policy of such Lender to demand such compensation from similarly situated borrowers in similar circumstances at such time to the extent it is legally permitted to do so and delivered to the Borrowers, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Delay in Requests*. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or such L/C Issuer's right to demand such compensation; *provided* that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an L/C Issuer pursuant to this

------

Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender's or such L/C Issuer's intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

*Section 8.5 <u>Intentionally Omitted</u>*.

*Section 8.6 <u>Intentionally Omitted</u>*.

*Section 8.7 <u>Defaulting Lenders</u>*.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) *Waivers and Amendments*. Such Defaulting Lender's right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and Section 10.10.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) *Defaulting Lender Waterfall*. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 7 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.13 shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as follows: *first*, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; *second*, to the payment on a *pro rata* basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuers or the Administrative Agent in its capacity as the maker of Swing Loans hereunder; *third*, to Cash Collateralize contingent funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender in respect of any participation in any Swing Loan or Letter of Credit; *fourth*, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; *fifth*, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a non interest bearing deposit account and to be released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement and Cash Collateralize contingent funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender in respect of participation in any future Swing Loan or future Letter of Credit; *sixth*, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or the Administrative Agent as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the L/C Issuers or the Administrative Agent against that Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; *seventh*, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any

------

amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and *eighth*, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; *provided* that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.1 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a *pro rata* basis in accordance with their Revolver Percentages under the applicable Credit prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Obligations owed to such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) *Certain Fees*. (A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee under Section 2.13(a) or any amendment fees, waiver fees, or similar fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 any Letter of Credit fee under Section 2.13(b) and amounts owed to it in respect of participating interest in Swing Loans under Section 2.11(e) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Revolver Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit and participating interests in Swing Loans for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 4.5.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) With respect to any fees not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) 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 Letters of Credit or Swing Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the Administrative Agent as the maker of Swing Loans and to each L/C Issuer, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Administrative Agent's or such L/C Issuer'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) *Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure*. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender's participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolver Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender's Commitment) but only to the extent that (A) the conditions set forth in Section 3.1 are satisfied at such time (and, unless the Borrowers shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at the time, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (B) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans and participating interests in L/C Obligations and Swing Loans of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender's Commitment. 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) *Cash Collateral*. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, within 3 Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent, Cash Collateralize such Defaulting Lender's interests in L/C Obligations and Swing Loans (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (iv) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4.5 for so long as such interests in L/C Obligations and Swing Loans are outstanding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Defaulting Lender Cure*. If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, and the L/C Issuers agree in writing in their reasonable discretion 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 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 Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans to be held on a *pro rata* basis by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolver Percentages (without giving effect to Section 8.7(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; *provided* that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and *provided*, *further*, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender's having been a Defaulting Lender.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *New Swing Line Loans/Letters of Credit*. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Administrative Agent in its capacity as the maker of Swing Loans shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after effect to such Swing Loan and (ii) no L/C Issuer shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

SECTION 9 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

*Section 9.1 <u>Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent</u>*. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer hereby appoints Truist Bank, to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as Administrative Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 9 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, and neither any Borrower nor any Guarantor shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term "agent" in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

*Section 9.2 <u>Administrative Agent and Its Affiliates</u>*. The Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with any Borrower or any Affiliate of any Borrower as if it were not the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. The terms *"Lender"* and *"Lenders"*, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise clearly requires, includes the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender. References in Section 2 to the Administrative Agent's Loans, or to the amount owing to the Administrative Agent for which an interest rate is being determined, refer to the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender.

*Section 9.3 <u>Exculpatory Provisions</u>*. (a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties:

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for

------

herein or in the other Loan Documents); *provided* that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or any Legal Requirement, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law, and the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under any other Loan Document unless it first receives any further assurances of its indemnification from the Lenders that it may require, including prepayment of any related expenses and any other protection it requires against any and all costs, expense, and liability which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action; 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) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Any instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.10) shall be binding upon all the Lenders. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by the Administrative Agent (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.10), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. In all cases in which the Loan Documents do not require the Administrative Agent to take specific action, the Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in using its discretion in failing to take or in taking any action thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default exists, and shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Borrowers or a Lender. If the Administrative Agent receives from the Borrowers a written notice of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.1, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give each of the Lenders written notice thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any Credit Event, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or

------

*Section 9.4 <u>Reliance by Administrative Agent</u>*. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. The Administrative Agent may treat the payee of any Note or any Loan as the holder thereof until written notice of transfer shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent signed by such payee in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

*Section 9.5 <u>Delegation of Duties</u>*. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents (which shall not be a Disqualified Lender) appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties (which shall not be a Disqualified Lender). The exculpatory provisions of this Section 9 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facilities as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

------

*Section 9.6 <u>Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders</u>.* Each Lender and each L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

*Section 9.7 <u>Intentionally Omitted</u>*.

*Section 9.8 <u>Resignation of Administrative Agent and Successor Administrative Agent</u>*. (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers, and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor, which may be any Lender hereunder or any commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $200,000,000 (other than a Disqualified Lender) and, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such appointment shall be within the Borrowers' consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). 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 Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the *"Resignation Effective Date"*), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrowers and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrowers, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the *"Removal Effective Date"*), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and

------

determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each L/C Issuer directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent's resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 9 and Section 10.12 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

*Section 9.9 <u>L/C Issuers and Swing Line Lender</u>.* (a) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith. Each L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Section 9 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the Applications pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term "Administrative Agent", as used in this Section 9, included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to such L/C Issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Administrative Agent in its capacity as the maker of Swing Loans hereunder shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to the Swing Loans made hereunder. The Administrative Agent in its capacity as the maker of Swing Loans hereunder shall each have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Section 9 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as the maker of Swing Loans hereunder in connection with Swing Loans made or to be made hereunder as fully as if the term "Administrative Agent", as used in this Section 9, included the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as the maker of Swing Loans hereunder, with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to such Administrative Agent, in its capacity as the maker of Swing Loans hereunder, as applicable.

*Section 9.10 <u>Hedging Liability and Bank Product Liability Arrangements</u>*. By virtue of a Lender's execution of this Agreement or an assignment agreement pursuant to Section 10.9, as the case may be, any Affiliate of such Lender with whom any Borrower or any Guarantor has entered into an agreement creating Hedging Liability or Bank Product Liability shall be deemed a Lender party hereto for purposes of any reference in a Loan Document to the parties for whom the Administrative Agent is acting, it being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of such Affiliate under the Loan Documents consist exclusively of such Affiliate's right to share in

------

payments and collections out of the Collateral and the Guaranties as more fully set forth in Section 2.9 and Section 4. In connection with any such distribution of payments and collections, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are due to any Lender or its Affiliate with respect to Hedging Liability or Bank Product Liability unless such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent in writing of the amount of any such liability owed to it or its Affiliate prior to such distribution. Any Lender or its Affiliate with whom any Borrower or any Guarantor has entered into an agreement creating Hedging Liability or Bank Product Liability shall be assumed to consent to Section 9.14.

*Section 9.11 <u>No Other Duties; Designation of Additional Agents</u>*.

SECTION 10 MISCELLANEOUS.

*Section 10.1 <u>Taxes</u>*.

------

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers and the Guarantors*. Each Borrower and each Guarantor shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Indemnification by the Borrowers and the Guarantors*. The Borrowers and the Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) *Indemnification by the Lenders*. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrowers and the Guarantors have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers and the Guarantors to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.9(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 10.1(e).

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) *Evidence of Payments*. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Borrower or any Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 10.1, such Borrower or such Guarantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) *Status of Lenders*. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 10.1(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position 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;(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law

Solely for purposes of this clause (D), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) *Treatment of Certain Refunds*. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 10.1 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 10.1), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 10.1(h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.1(h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 10.1(h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification had not been deducted, withheld, or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 10.1(h) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) *Survival*. Each party's obligations under this Section 10.1 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 any Loan Document.

*Section 10.2 <u>Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders</u>*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Designation of a Different Lending Office*. If any Lender or L/C Issuer requests compensation under Section 8.4, or requires any Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender, L/C Issuer or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 10.1, then such Lender or L/C

------

Issuer (as applicable) shall (at the request of the Borrowers) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.4 or Section 10.1, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender or L/C Issuer to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or L/C Issuer. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Replacement of Lenders*. If any Lender or L/C Issuer requests compensation under Section 8.4, or if any Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or L/C Issuer or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 10.1 and, in each case, such Lender or L/C Issuer has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 10.2(a), or if any Lender or L/C Issuer is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then such Borrowers may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender or L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender or L/C Issuer to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.9(b)), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 8.4 or Section 10.1) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender or L/C Issuer, if a Lender or L/C Issuer accepts such assignment); *provided* that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 10.9(b)(iv);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) such Lender or L/C Issuer shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 8.4 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 10.1 such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender or L/C Issuer becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent; 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;(vi) for the avoidance of doubt, without duplication of anything in this Section 10.2, the Borrower pays all reasonable and documented out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such assignment.

Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this Section 10.2(b) may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to the Platform), and (b) the Lender or L/C Issuer required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to an be bound by the terms thereof.

*Section 10.3 <u>No Waiver, Cumulative Remedies</u>.* No delay or failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, or any Lender or on the part of the holder or holders of any of the Obligations in the exercise of any power or right under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof or as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. The rights and remedies hereunder of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, the Lenders and of the holder or holders of any of the Obligations are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies which any of them would otherwise have.

*Section 10.4 <u>[Reserved].</u><u> </u>* 

*Section 10.5 <u>Survival of Representations and Covenants</u>.* All representations and warranties and covenants made herein or in any other Loan Document or in certificates given pursuant hereto or thereto shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the date as of which they were made as long as any Lender or any L/C Issuer has any Commitment hereunder or any Obligations (other than contingent obligations not due and owing or Letters of Credit Cash Collateralized) remain unpaid hereunder.

*Section 10.6 <u>Survival of Indemnities</u>*. All indemnities and other provisions relative to reimbursement to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers of amounts sufficient to protect the yield of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers with respect to the Loans and Letters of Credit, including, but not limited to, Sections 8.4, 10.4 and 10.12, shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment of the Obligations (other than contingent obligations not due and owing or Letters of Credit Cash Collateralized).

*Section 10.7 <u>Sharing of Payments by Lenders</u>.* If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other Obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such Obligations greater than its *pro rata* share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; *provided* that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 provisions of this clause (ii) shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in Reimbursement Obligations to any assignee or participant, other than to any Borrower or any Guarantor (as to which the provisions of this clause (ii) shall apply).

Each Borrower and each Guarantor consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Borrower and each Guarantor rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Borrower and each Guarantor in the amount of such participation.

*Section 10.8 <u>Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic Communication</u>*.

Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient).

The Administrative Agent or the Borrowers may, in their discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, *provided* that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. The Internet website address of the Borrowers' Agent is: <u>www.deleklogistics</u>.com.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender's receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the "return receipt requested" function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefore, *provided* that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice, email or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Platform.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Each Borrower and each Guarantor agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but is not obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available to the L/C Issuers and the Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the *"Platform"*).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Platform is provided "as is" and "as available." The Administrative Agent and its Related Parties do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties have any liability to the Borrowers, any Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Borrower's, any Guarantor's or the Administrative Agent's transmission of Communications through the Platform. *"Communications"* means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material that any Borrower or any Guarantor provides to the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders or the L/C Issuers by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Borrower hereby acknowledges that certain of the Lenders (each, a *"Public Lender"*) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrowers or their Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Persons' securities. Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Communications that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (w) all such Communications shall be clearly and conspicuously marked *"PUBLIC"* which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word *"PUBLIC"* shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Communications *"PUBLIC"*, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders to treat such Communications as not containing any material non-public information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Borrowers or their securities

------

for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (*provided*, however, that to the extent such Communications constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.21); (y) all Communications marked *"PUBLIC"* are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated *"Public Side Information"*; and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Communications that are not marked *"PUBLIC"* as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated *"Public Side Information"*. Each Borrower acknowledges that no Communications will be marked *"PUBLIC"* other than publicly available information filed by the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries with the SEC. Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the *"Private Side Information"* or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender's compliance procedures and applicable Legal Requirements, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Communications that are not made available through the *"Public Side Information"* portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrowers or their securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.9(d) below and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Assignments by Lenders.* Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); *provided* that (in each instance with respect to any Credit) any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Minimum Amounts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) In any case of an assignment not described in Section 10.9(b)(i)(A) above, the aggregate amount of the Commitments (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if *"Trade Date"* is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of the Revolving Credit, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) *Proportionate Amounts*. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) *Required Consents*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned) shall be required for an assignment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such 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;(iv) *Assignment and Assumption*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) *Certain Additional Payments*. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the applicable *pro rata* share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full *pro rata* share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans in accordance with its Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this clause (vii), then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.9(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and,

------

in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 8.4 and 10.12 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; *provided* that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender's having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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 Section 10.9(d) below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Register.* The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers (such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans 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 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. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Participations.* Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, any Borrower or any of the Borrowers' Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a *"Participant"*) in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); *provided* that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers 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, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 10.12(c) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; *provided* that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 10.10(i) and (ii) that affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 8.4, and 10.1 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.9(b) above (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 10.1(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 10.1(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)); *provided* that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 10.2 as if it

------

were an assignee under Section 10.2(b) above; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.4 or Section 10.1, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers' request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 10.2(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.13 as though it were a Lender; *provided* that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 10.7 as though it were a Lender. 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 (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the *"Participant Register"*); *provided* that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (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 Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary 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. 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) *Certain Pledges.* Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; *provided* that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) *Electronic Execution of Assignments.* The words "execution," "signed," "signature," and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if at any time the Swing Line Lender, in its capacity as a Lender, assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, the Swing Line Lender may terminate the Swing Line. In the event of such termination of the Swing Line, the Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint another Lender to act as the successor Swing Line Lender (with such Lender's consent); *provided, however,* that the failure of the Borrowers to appoint a successor shall not affect the resignation of the Swing Line Lender. If the

------

Swing Line Lender terminates the Swing Line, it shall retain all of the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided hereunder with respect to Swing Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such termination, including the right to require Lenders to make Revolving Loans or fund participations in outstanding Swing Loans pursuant to Section 2.11.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if at any time any L/C Issuer, in its capacity as a Lender, assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, such L/C Issuer may terminate its commitment pursuant to Section 2.5(a) to issue Letters of Credit. In the event of such termination of such L/C Issuer's commitment to issue Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.5(a), the Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint another Lender to act as the successor L/C Issuer hereunder (with such Lender's consent); *provided, however,* that the failure of the Borrowers to appoint a successor shall not affect the resignation of the resigning L/C Issuer. If any L/C Issuer terminates its commitment to issue Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.5(a), it shall retain all of the rights of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to Letters of Credit made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such termination, including the right to require Participating Lenders to fund their Participating Interests in such Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.5(d).

*Section 10.10 <u>Amendments</u>*. Any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by (a) the Borrowers, (b) the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders), (c) if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent are affected thereby, the Administrative Agent, and (d) if the rights or duties of an L/C Issuer are affected thereby, such L/C Issuer; *provided* that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) no amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section 10.10 shall (A) increase or extend any Commitment of any Lender without the consent of such Lender, (B) reduce or waive the rate of interest on any Loan, the amount of or postpone the date for any scheduled payment (but not including any mandatory prepayment) of any principal of or interest on any Loan or of any Reimbursement Obligation (except in connection with the waiver of acceptability of any post-default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders)) or of any fee payable hereunder without the consent of the Lender to which such payment is owing or which has committed to make such Loan or Letter of Credit (or participate therein) hereunder, it being understood that any change to the definition of any financial ratio (including Total Leverage Ratio) or in each case, the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees or other amounts payable, or (C) change the application of payments set forth in Section 2.9 without the consent of any Lender adversely affected thereby; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) no amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section 10.10 shall, unless signed by each Lender, change the definitions of Revolving Credit Termination Date or Required Lenders, change the provisions of this Section 10.10, release all or substantially all of the value of the Guaranties or all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as otherwise provided for in the Loan Documents), affect the

------

number of Lenders required to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document, change or waive any provision of any Loan Document that provides for the *pro rata* nature of disbursements or payments to Lenders, or contractually subordinate the Obligations (or any Liens of the Administrative Agent securing the Obligations) to any other Indebtedness (or any Liens securing such other Indebtedness) of the Borrowers or the Guarantors (other than Purchase Money Indebtedness permitted under this Agreement and/or any debtor-in-possession financing), in each case, without the prior written consent of each Lender.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) [reserved], (b) [reserved], and (c) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (i) the Commitments of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender, (ii) any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrowers, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent if (A) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (B) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment (including pursuant to an assignment to a replacement Lender in accordance with the terms herein) in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other Obligations owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement, (iii) the Collateral Documents and related documents executed by the Borrowers and the Guarantors in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be amended, modified, supplemented and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers without the need to obtain the consent of any other Person if such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver is delivered in order (A) to comply with local Legal Requirements (including foreign law or regulatory requirements) or advice of local counsel, (B) to cure ambiguities, inconsistency, omissions, mistakes or defects or (C) to cause such Collateral Document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (iv) if following the Effective Date, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall have jointly identified an ambiguity, inconsistency, obvious error, or mistake or any error, mistake or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents (other than the Collateral Documents), then the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Documents if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

Each Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Co-Syndication Agents, the Co-Documentation Agents, each Lender and each L/C Issuer, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an "Indemnitee") against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all Damages (including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee (excluding the allocated costs of in-house counsel and regulatory counsel and limited to not more than one counsel for all such Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for all such Indemnitees, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, of another firm of counsel for such affected Indemnitee))), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including any Borrower or any Guarantor other than such Indemnitee and its Related Parties) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged violation of Environmental Law or presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or at any off-site location for which any Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may be liable, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to any Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Borrower or any Guarantor, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity

------

shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (y) result from a claim brought by any Borrower or any Guarantor against an Indemnitee for breach of such Indemnitee's obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such Borrower or such Guarantor has obtained a final and non-appealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) arose from any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of the Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates and is brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (other than any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such). This Section 10.12(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any claim not related to any such Taxes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Reimbursement by Lenders*.

The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.12(c) are several and not joint. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to offset amounts received for the account of a Lender under this Agreement against unpaid amounts due from such Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder (whether as fundings of participations, indemnities or otherwise), but shall not be entitled to offset against amounts owed to the Administrative Agent by any Lender arising outside of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc.* To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither any Indemnitee, on the one hand, nor any Borrower or any Subsidiary, on the other hand, shall assert, and each such Person hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee (in the case of any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary) or against any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (in the case of an Indemnitee), on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to

------

direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit, or the use of the proceeds thereof; *provided* that nothing in this sentence shall limit or otherwise modify the Borrowers' indemnity obligations under Section 10.12(b). No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) *Survival*. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of Obligations hereunder.

The rights of each Lender, each L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; *provided* that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer, or any Related Party or any other party hereto of the foregoing in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in each case in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Legal Requirements. Nothing in this Section shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction (1) for the purposes of enforcing a judgment, (2) in connection with exercising remedies against the Collateral in a jurisdiction in which such Collateral is located or (3) to the extent the courts referred to in the preceding sentence do not have jurisdiction over such legal action or proceeding or the parties or property subject thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Waiver of Venue*. Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 10.14(b) above.

------

*Section 10.15 <u>Severability of Provisions</u>*. Any provision of any Loan Document which is unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable mandatory provisions of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement and other Loan Documents are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement or the other Loan Documents invalid or unenforceable.

*Section 10.16 <u>Excess Interest</u>*. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, no such provision shall require the payment or permit the collection of any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law to be charged for the use or detention, or the forbearance in the collection, of all or any portion of the Loans or other obligations outstanding under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (*"Excess Interest"*). If any Excess Interest is provided for, or is adjudicated to be provided for, herein or in any other Loan Document, then in such event (a) the provisions of this Section shall govern and control, (b) neither any Borrower nor any Guarantor or endorser shall be obligated to pay any Excess Interest, (c) any Excess Interest that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have received hereunder shall, at the option of the Administrative Agent, be (i) applied as a credit against the then outstanding principal amount of Obligations hereunder and accrued and unpaid interest thereon (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law), (ii) refunded to the Borrowers, or (iii) any combination of the foregoing, (d) the interest rate payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be automatically subject to reduction to the maximum lawful contract rate allowed under applicable usury laws (the *"Maximum Rate"*), and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been, and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction in the relevant interest rate, and (e) neither any Borrower nor any Guarantor or endorser shall have any action against the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any Damages whatsoever arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any of Borrowers' Obligations is calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable rate under this Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on the Borrowers' Obligations shall remain at the Maximum Rate until the Lenders have received the amount of interest which such Lenders would have received during such period on the Borrowers' Obligations had the rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period.

*Section 10.17 <u>Construction</u>*. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Loan Documents shall not be construed more favorably in favor of any party hereto based upon which party drafted the same, it being acknowledged that all parties hereto contributed substantially to the negotiation of the Loan Documents.

*Section 10.18 <u>Lenders</u><u>'</u> <u>and L/C Issuer</u><u>'</u><u>s Obligations Several</u>*. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers hereunder are several and not joint. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken by the Lenders or the L/C Issuers pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders and the L/C Issuers a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity.

*Section 10.19 <u>PATRIOT Act</u>*. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender and such L/C Issuer to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.

*Section 10.20 <u>Waiver of Jury Trial</u>*. Each of the Borrowers, the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this agreement or any other loan document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory). Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other person has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other person would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this agreement and the other loan documents by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 10.20.

*Section 10.21 <u>Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality</u>*. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or quasi-regulatory authority), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any Hedge Agreement under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrowers and their obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrowers, the Guarantors, the Revolving Credit, or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Revolving Credit, (h) with the consent of the Borrowers, (i) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Borrower, or (j) to credit insurance providers and brokers. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Commitments.

------

For purposes of this Section, *"Information"* means all information received from the General Partner, any Borrower or any Guarantor relating to any Borrower or any Guarantor or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, *provided* that, in the case of information received from the General Partner, any Borrower or any of the Borrower's Subsidiaries after the Effective Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

*Section 10.22 <u>Counterparts; Integration, Effectiveness</u>.* This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 3.2, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (*i.e.* "pdf" or "tif") format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

*Section 10.23 <u>Joint and Several Obligations</u>.* Each Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees it is jointly and severally liable to the Lenders and their Affiliates for the Obligations, Hedging Liability, and Bank Product Liability, including, without limitation, those amounts due under Sections 8.4 and 10.12 hereof. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that its joint and several liability under this Agreement and the Loan Documents is absolute and unconditional and shall not in any manner be affected or impaired by any acts or omissions whatsoever by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. Each Borrower hereby agrees not to exercise or enforce any right of exoneration, contribution, reimbursement, recourse or subrogation available to such Borrower against any party liable for payment under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents unless and until the Lenders have been paid in full and all of the Obligations are satisfied and discharged.

*Section 10.24 <u>No General Partner</u><u>'</u><u>s Liability for Obligations</u>.*It is hereby understood and agreed that the General Partner shall have no personal liability, as general partner or otherwise, for the payment of any amount owing or to be owing hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to the Obligations*.* In furtherance of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree for themselves and their respective successors and assigns that no claim arising

------

against any Borrower or any Guarantor under any Loan Document with respect to the Obligations shall be asserted against the General Partner (in its individual capacity), any claim arising against any Borrower or any Guarantor under any Loan Document with respect to the Obligations shall be made only against and shall be limited to the assets of the Borrowers and the Guarantors, and no judgment, order or execution entered in any suit, action or proceeding, whether legal or equitable, on this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents with respect to the Obligations shall be obtained or enforced against the General Partner (in its individual capacity) or its assets for the purpose of obtaining satisfaction and payment of the Obligations with respect to the Obligations or any claims arising under this Agreement or any other Loan Document with respect to the Obligations, any right to proceed against the General Partner individually or its respective assets being hereby expressly waived by the Lenders for themselves and their respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall retain any and all rights they may have against the General Partner for any liability to the extent arising out of the gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct, intentional misrepresentation or misappropriation of funds of or by the General Partner.

*Section 10.25 <u>Reserved</u>.* 

*Section 10.26 <u>Reserved</u>.* 

*Section 10.27 <u>All Powers Coupled with Interest</u>*. All powers of attorney and other authorizations granted to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and any Persons designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the date on which the Commitments are terminated, all Letters of Credit that are not Cash Collateralized pursuant to Section 4.5 have expired, and the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other Obligations payable by the Borrowers and the Guarantors under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents (other than any contingent or indemnification obligations not then due) and, if then outstanding and unpaid, all Hedging Liability and Bank Product Liability shall have been paid in full or collateralized in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Lender or Affiliate of a Lender to whom such obligations are owed.

*Section 10.28 <u>Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions</u>.* Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto (including any party becoming a party hereto by virtue of an Assignment and Assumption) acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of a Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

------

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

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

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

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

*Section 10.29 <u>Judgment Currency</u>*. If any judgment or order expressed in a currency (the *"Judgment Currency"*) other than Dollars (the *"Currency of Account"*) is rendered against any Borrower or any Guarantor for the payment of any amount owing hereunder, the Administrative Agent, after recovery in full of the aggregate amount to which they are entitled pursuant to the judgment or order, will be entitled to receive immediately from such Borrower or Guarantor the amount of any shortfall of the Currency of Account received by the Administrative Agent as a consequence of sums paid in such Judgment Currency (a *"Shortfall Payment"*) if such shortfall arises or results from any variation between the rate of exchange at which the Currency of Account is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purposes of such judgment or order and the rate of exchange at which the Administrative Agent is able, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith, to purchase the Currency of Account with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by the Administrative Agent. Any Shortfall Payment due hereunder shall be due as a separate and independent obligation of the Borrowers and the Guarantors and, until discharged, shall continue in full force and effect. The term *"rate of exchange"* includes, without limitation, any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into the Currency of Account.

*Section 10.30 <u>Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs</u>*.

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

------

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

SECTION 11 THE GUARANTEES.

*Section 11.1 <u>The Guarantees</u>*. To induce the Lenders and the L/C Issuers to provide the credits described herein and in consideration of benefits expected to accrue to the Borrowers by reason of the Commitments and the Loans and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, each Borrower and each Subsidiary of the Borrowers party hereto (including any Subsidiary executing an Additional Guarantor Supplement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-2 or such other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (herein, an *"Additional Guarantor Supplement"*)), hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees jointly and severally to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the L/C Issuers and their Affiliates that are parties to any document evidencing the Hedging Liability or Bank Product Liability, the due and punctual payment of all present and future Obligations, Hedging Liability, and Bank Product Liability, including, but not limited to, the due and punctual payment of principal of and interest on the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations, and the due and punctual payment of all other Obligations now or hereafter owed by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents and the due and punctual payment of all Hedging Liability and Bank Product Liability, in each case as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise, according to the terms hereof and thereof (including all interest, costs, fees, and charges reimbursable hereunder after the entry of an order for relief against any Borrower or any Guarantor in a case under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar proceeding, whether or not such interest, costs, fees and charges would be an allowed claim against any Borrower or any Guarantor in any such proceeding)**<u>;</u>** *provided*, *however* that, with respect to each Guarantor, subject to Section 11.10, Hedging Liability guaranteed by such Guarantor shall exclude all Excluded Swap Obligations. In case of failure by any Borrower or any Guarantor punctually to pay any Obligations, Hedging Liability, or Bank Product Liability guaranteed hereby, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally, jointly and severally agrees to make such payment or to cause such payment to be made punctually as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by such Borrower or such Guarantor and/or that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

------

*Section 11.2 <u>Guarantee Unconditional</u>*. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Section 11 shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged, or otherwise affected by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver, or release in respect of any obligation of any other Borrower or any other Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or by operation of law or otherwise;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement relating to Hedging Liability or Bank Product Liability;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) any change in the corporate existence, structure, or ownership of any Borrower or any Guarantor, or any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law affecting any Borrower or any other Guarantor, or any of their respective assets, or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any other Borrower or any other Guarantor contained in any Loan Document;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) the existence of any claim, set-off, or other rights which any Borrower or any Guarantor may have at any time against the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether or not arising in connection herewith;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) any failure to assert, or any assertion of, any claim or demand or any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any rights or remedies against any Borrower or any Guarantor;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) any application of any sums by rights of set-off, counterclaim or similar rights to any obligation of any other Borrower or any other Guarantor, regardless of what obligations of any Borrower or other Guarantor remain unpaid, including the Obligations, any Hedging Liability and any Bank Product Liability;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any other Borrower, any other obligor or any other guarantor for any reason of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document or any agreement relating to Hedging Liability or Bank Product Liability or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by any Borrower or other obligor or any other guarantor of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation or any other amount payable under the Loan Documents or any agreement relating to Hedging Liability or Bank Product Liability; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer, or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever (other than payment) that might, but for the provisions of this clause (h), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the obligations of any Guarantor under this Section 11.

------

*Section 11.3 <u>Discharge Only upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances</u>*. Each Guarantor's obligations under this Section 11 shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments are terminated, all Letters of Credit that are not Cash Collateralized pursuant to Section 4.5 have expired or arrangements satisfactory to each L/C Issuer have been made, and the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other Obligations payable by the Borrowers and the Guarantors under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents (other than any contingent or indemnification obligations not then due) shall have been paid in full or collateralized in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Lender or Affiliate of a Lender to whom such obligations are owed. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation or any other amount payable by any Borrower or any Guarantor under the Loan Documents is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of any Borrower or of any Guarantor, or otherwise, each Guarantor's obligations under this Section 11 with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had become due but had not been made at such time.

*Section 11.4 <u>Subrogation</u>*. Each Guarantor agrees it will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation by any payment made hereunder, or otherwise, until all the Obligations (other than any contingent or indemnification obligations not then due) and, Hedging Liability, and Bank Product Liability shall have been paid in full or collateralized in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Lender or Affiliate of a Lender to whom such obligations are owed subsequent to the termination of all the Revolving Credit Commitments and expiration of all Letters of Credit that are not Cash Collateralized pursuant to Section 4.5. If any amount shall be paid to a Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the later of (a) the payment in full of the Obligations, Hedging Liability, and Bank Product Liability and all other amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder and the other Loan Documents (other than any contingent or indemnification obligations not then due or Letters of Credit Cash Collateralized) and (b) the termination of the Commitments and expiration of all Letters of Credit that are not Cash Collateralized pursuant to Section 4.5, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the L/C Issuers (and their Affiliates) and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers (and their Affiliates) or be credited and applied upon the Obligations and Hedging Liability, and Bank Product Liability, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

*Section 11.5 <u>Subordination</u>*.Each Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities of any Borrower or any other Guarantor owing to such Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, to the payment in full in cash of all Obligations (other than any contingent obligations not due and owing and Letters of Credit Cash Collateralized or other accommodations satisfactory to the L/C Issuers have been made). During the existence of any Event of Default, subject to Section 11.4 above, any such indebtedness, obligation, or liability of any Borrower or any other Guarantor owing to such Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by such Guarantor as trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Obligations, Hedging Liability and Bank Product Liability and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent for application to the Obligations, Hedging Liability and Bank Product Liability (whether or not then due), but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under this Section 11.

------

*Section 11.6 <u>Waivers</u>*. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest, and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer, or any other Person against any Borrower or any other Guarantor.

*Section 11.7 <u>Limit on Recovery</u>*. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the right of recovery against each Guarantor under this Section 11 shall not exceed $1.00 less than the lowest amount which would render such Guarantor's obligations under this Section 11 void or avoidable under applicable law, including fraudulent conveyance law.

*Section 11.8 <u>Stay of Acceleration</u>*. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any Borrower or Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Borrower or such Guarantor, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent made at the request of the Required Lenders.

*Section 11.9 <u>Benefit to Guarantors</u>*. The Borrowers and the Guarantors are engaged in related businesses and integrated to such an extent that the financial strength and flexibility of the Borrowers has a direct impact on the success of each Guarantor. Each Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the extensions of credit hereunder.

*Section 11.10 <u>Keepwell</u>*. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Guarantor to honor all of its obligations under this Section 11 in respect of Swap Obligations (*provided*, *however*, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 11.10 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 11.10, or otherwise under this Section, voidable under applicable Legal Requirements relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 11.10 shall remain in full force and effect until discharged in accordance with Section 11.3. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 11.10 constitute, and this Section 11.10 shall be deemed to constitute, a "keepwell, support, or other agreement" for the benefit of each other Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

*Section 11.11 <u>Guarantor Covenants</u>.* Each Guarantor shall take such action as the Borrowers are required by this Agreement to cause such Guarantor to take, and shall refrain from taking such action as the Borrowers are required by this Agreement to prohibit such Guarantor from taking.
