The Agreement between the Parties listed above is changed as follows: 

1.In accordance with Section 6.1 of the Agreement (Change Orders Requested by Owner), the Parties agree this Change Order includes Contractor’s costs to implement modifications to the area class zone around the potential leak points in the onshore valve platform for the Third Berth to the below distances to satisfy FERC Condition 61:

•Twenty-five feet (25’) around the leak point;
•Twenty-five feet (25’) height to fifty feet (50’) wide around the leak point; and 
•Two feet (2’) height to one hundred feet (100’) wide around the leak point.

These are the same distances as API RP 500 Figures 20/21.

The local control panel for the Sanitary Treatment Package will be elevated above the hazardous zone. Refer to Electrical Hazardous Area Classification 26012-100-E3-03A03-00001 Rev 001.

All terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), as in effect from time to time; provided, however, that if the Company notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrowers wish to amend any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change in GAAP or the application thereof occurring after the date of this Agreement on the operation of such provision, or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Company that the Required Lenders wish to amend any provision hereof for such purpose, then the Borrowers’ compliance with such provision shall be determined on the basis of GAAP in effect immediately before the relevant change in GAAP or the application thereof became effective, until either such notice is withdrawn or such provision is amended in a manner satisfactory to the Company and the Required Lenders.  Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to any change in accounting for leases pursuant to GAAP resulting from the implementation of FASB ASC 842 to the extent such adoption would require treating any lease (or similar arrangement conveying the right to use) as a capital lease where such lease (or similar arrangement) would not have been required to be so treated under GAAP as in effect on December 31, 2015. 
Section 1.04.Guarantees.  Unless otherwise specified, the amount of any Guarantee shall be the lesser of the principal amount of the obligations guaranteed and still outstanding and the maximum amount for which the guaranteeing Person may be liable pursuant to the terms of the instrument embodying such Guarantee.
Section 1.05.Redenominations of Certain Foreign Currencies and Computation of US Dollar Amounts; Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents.  
(a)Each obligation of each Borrower to make a payment denominated in the National Currency Unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the date hereof shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption (in accordance with the EMU Legislation).  If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London or applicable offshore interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided that if any Advance in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Advance, at the end of the then current Interest Period.
(b)Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent and the Company may from time to time agree to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro.
(c)The Administrative Agent or applicable Issuing Lender (with notice thereof to the Administrative Agent), as applicable, shall reasonably determine the Spot Rate as of each Revaluation Date to be used for calculating the Dollar Equivalents of Advances, L/C Obligations and amounts outstanding hereunder denominated in a Foreign Currency, as applicable.  Such Spot Rate shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Spot Rate employed in converting any amounts between the applicable Currencies until the next Revaluation Date to occur.

(d)Wherever in this Agreement, in connection with any Advance, any conversion, continuation or prepayment of an Advance or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in US Dollars, but such Advance is denominated in a Foreign Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Foreign Currency Equivalent, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent.
(e)Wherever in this Agreement an amount is expressed in US Dollars, it shall be deemed to refer to the Dollar Equivalent or Foreign Currency Equivalent thereof, as applicable.
(f)Determinations by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 1.05 shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.
(g)Subject to the provisions of Section 9.16, each provision in this Agreement relating to payments to be made by any Borrower on account of principal, interest and fees which requires payment in US Dollars, shall be deemed to mean (i) in the case of Advances, Letters of Credit or other amounts denominated in US Dollars, payment in US Dollars, and (ii) in the case of Advances, Letters of Credit or other amounts denominated in a Foreign Currency, payment in such Foreign Currency.
Section 1.06.Rates.  The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, any Daily Simple RFR, the Eurocurrency Rate, the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or any other Benchmark, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or with respect to any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement), as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.20(c), will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, any Daily Simple RFR, the Eurocurrency Rate, the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, such Benchmark or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes.  The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of a Benchmark, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto and such transactions may be adverse to the Borrowers.  The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to any Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.
Section 1.07.Divisions.  For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.
Section 1.08.Rounding.  Any financial ratios required to be maintained pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, 

carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio or percentage is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number). 
Section 1.09.References to Agreements and Laws. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, (a) any definition or reference to formation documents, governing documents, agreements (including the Loan Documents) and other contractual documents or instruments shall be deemed to include all subsequent amendments, restatements, extensions, supplements and other modifications thereto, but only to the extent that such amendments, restatements, extensions, supplements and other modifications are not prohibited by any Loan Document; and (b) any definition or reference to any Applicable Law, including Anti-Corruption Laws, Anti-Money Laundering Laws, the Bankruptcy Code, the Internal Revenue Code, the Commodity Exchange Act, ERISA, the PATRIOT Act, the Trading with the Enemy Act or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department, shall include all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending, replacing, supplementing or interpreting such Applicable Law.

(b)Notwithstanding any provision in the Loan Documents to the contrary, no Foreign Borrower or other Foreign Subsidiary shall be liable for Advances made to the Company or other Borrower Obligations of the Company.
Section 1.02.Making the Advances.
(a)The Company, on behalf of one or more Borrowers in the case of an Advance, shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable prior written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 (a “Notice of Borrowing”) not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) in the case of any Advance denominated in US Dollars and not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of any Advance denominated in a Foreign Currency (i) on (x) the same Business Day as each Base Rate Advance to the Company that will be funded

If the Company fails to specify the Currency of an Advance in a Notice of Borrowing, then the applicable Advances shall be made in US Dollars.  In connection with an Advance denominated in US Dollars, if the Company fails to specify a type of Advance in a Notice of Borrowing, then the applicable Advances shall be made as Base Rate Advances.  If the Company fails to specify a Borrower, the Borrower shall be the Company.  If the Company requests a Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Advances or Term SOFR Advance in any such Notice of Borrowing, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.  A Notice of Borrowing received after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) shall be deemed received on the next Business Day, RFR Business Day or Eurocurrency Banking Day, as applicable.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing.
(b)Not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), in the case of any Advance denominated in US Dollars and not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of any Advance denominated in a Foreign Currency, in each case on the proposed borrowing date, each Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Borrower, at the office of the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds in the applicable currency of such Borrowing immediately available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing.

The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to disburse the portion of the proceeds of any Borrowing requested pursuant to this Section to the extent that any Lender has not made available to the Administrative Agent its ratable portion of such Borrowing.  
Section 1.03.[Reserved].
Section 1.04.Fees.
(a)Commitment Fee.  Commencing on the Effective Date, the Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in US Dollars, for the account of the Lenders, a non-refundable commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time on the average daily Unused Commitments of the Lenders (other than 

the Defaulting Lenders, if any).  The Commitment Fee shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter during the term of this Agreement commencing June 30, 2022, and ending on the date upon which all Commitments have been terminated.  
(b)Other Fees.  The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its account fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Engagement Letter.
Section 1.05.Termination, Reduction or Increase of the Commitments.
(a)Optional Termination or Reduction.  The Borrowers shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ notice by the Company to the Administrative Agent, to terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the Unused Commitments, provided that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000, in excess thereof, provided, further, that a notice of termination delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the consummation of another transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.  The aggregate amount of the Commitments of any Tranche once reduced as provided in this Section 2.05(a), may not be reinstated, except as provided in Section 2.05(b) below.
(b)Increase in Aggregate of the Commitments.    The Company, on behalf of the Borrowers, may at any time, by notice to the Administrative Agent, propose that the aggregate amount of the Commitments of any Tranche (whether in the form of incremental term loans or revolving credit facility increases) be increased (such aggregate amount being, a “Commitment Increase”), effective as at a date prior to the date of the termination of all of the Commitments of such Tranche (as such date may be changed by the Company by notice to the Administrative Agent, an “Increase Date”) as to which agreement is to be reached by an earlier date specified in such notice (as such date may be changed by the Company by notice to the Administrative Agent, a “Commitment Date”); provided, however, that (A) the minimum proposed Commitment Increase per notice shall be $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may agree), (B) in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Commitments at any time exceed $450,000,000 and (C) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such Increase Date.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders thereof promptly upon its receipt of any such notice.  The Administrative Agent agrees that it will cooperate with the Borrowers in discussions with the Lenders and other Eligible Assignees with a view to arranging the proposed Commitment Increase through the increase of the Commitments of one or more of the applicable Lenders (each such Lender that is willing to increase its Commitment hereunder being an “Increasing Lender”) and the addition of one or more other Eligible Assignees as Assuming Lenders and as parties to this Agreement; provided, however, that it shall be in each Lender’s sole discretion whether to increase its Commitment hereunder in connection with the proposed Commitment Increase; and provided further that the minimum Commitment of each such Assuming Lender that becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.05(b), shall be at least equal to $10,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may agree).  If any of the Lenders agree to increase their respective Commitments by an aggregate amount in excess of the proposed Commitment Increase, the proposed Commitment Increase shall be allocated among such Lenders in proportion to their respective Commitments immediately prior to the Increase Date.  If agreement is reached on or prior to the applicable Commitment Date with any Increasing Lenders and Assuming Lenders as to a Commitment Increase (which may be less than but not greater than specified in the applicable notice from the Company), such agreement to be evidenced by a notice in reasonable detail from the Company to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the applicable Commitment Date, such Assuming Lenders, if any, shall become Lenders hereunder as of the applicable Increase Date and the Commitments of such Increasing Lenders and such Assuming Lenders shall become or be, as the case may be, as of the Increase Date, the amounts specified in such notice; provided that:

(1)    the Administrative Agent shall have received (with copies for each Lender, including each such Assuming Lender) by no later than 10:00 A.M.  (New York City time) on the applicable Increase Date (1) certified copies of resolutions of the board of directors (or equivalent governing body) of the Borrowers approving the Commitment Increase and (2) an opinion of counsel for the Borrowers, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;
(2)    each such Assuming Lender shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, by no later than 10:00 A.M.  (New York City time) on such Increase Date, an appropriate Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto, duly executed by such Assuming Lender and the Company, on behalf of the Borrowers; 
(3)    each such Increasing Lender shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, by no later than 10:00 A.M.  (New York City time) on such Increase Date, (A) its existing Note, if any, and (B) confirmation in writing satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as to its increased Commitment;
(4)    the proceeds of any Commitment Increase shall be used for general corporate purposes of the Company and its Subsidiaries;
(5)    each Commitment Increase (and the loans made thereunder) shall constitute obligations of the Borrowers and shall be guaranteed with the other Extensions of Credit and Guaranteed Obligations on a pari passu basis as set forth in Article VIII;
(6)    the Company shall be in pro forma compliance with each of the financial covenants set forth in Section 5.03, both before and after giving effect (on a Pro Forma Basis) to any Commitment Increase;
(7)    all terms and conditions applicable to any Commitment Increase with respect to an incremental term loan shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Company; and
(8)    any Commitment Increase with respect to a revolving credit facility increase shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the existing Advances but shall bear interest and be entitled to fees, in each case at a rate determined by the applicable Increasing Lenders and the Company;
(ii)In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Company as to its agreement to a Commitment Increase on or prior to the applicable Commitment Date and each of the actions provided for in clauses (1) through (3) above shall have occurred prior to 10:00 A.M.  (New York City time) on the applicable Increase Date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders (including any Assuming Lenders) and the Company of the occurrence of such Commitment Increase by telephone, confirmed at once in writing, or telecopier, and in any event no later than 1:00 P.M.  (New York City time) on such Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Lender and Assuming Lender.  Each Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender shall, to the extent applicable, before 2:00 P.M.  (New York City time) on the applicable Increase Date, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Advances and L/C Obligations of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine to be necessary to cause the Advances to be funded and L/C Obligations held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments.

(c)In the event that the Administrative Agent shall not have received notice from the Company as to such agreement on or prior to the applicable Commitment Date or the Company shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent prior to the applicable Increase Date, withdraw its proposal for a Commitment Increase or any of the actions provided for above in clauses (i)(1) through (i)(3) shall not have occurred by 10:00 A.M.  (New York City time) on such Increase Date, such proposal by the Company shall be deemed not to have been made.  In such event, any actions theretofore taken under clauses (i)(1) through (i)(3) above shall be deemed to be of no effect and all the rights and obligations of the parties shall continue as if no such proposal had been made.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 9.01, the Company, on behalf of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, each Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender may enter into amendments to this Agreement (without the consent of any other Lender) to implement and effect any Commitment Increase complying with the above provisions and each Lender hereto agrees to the foregoing.
Section 1.06.Repayment of Advances.  The Borrowers shall repay the outstanding principal amount of all Advances in full on the Termination Date in the Currencies in which such Advances are denominated, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon and other amounts payable with respect to such Advances.  If at any time the Dollar Equivalent of Revolving Credit Outstandings exceed the aggregate Commitments (other than as a result of changes in the Spot Rate), the Company agrees to repay promptly upon notice from the Administrative Agent, by payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, Extensions of Credit in an amount equal to such excess with each such repayment applied first, to the principal amount of outstanding Advances and second, to Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit then outstanding, in an amount necessary to eliminate such excess.
Section 1.07.Interest on Advances.   Scheduled Interest.  Each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance to it owing to each Lender from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:
(i)Base Rate Advances.  During such periods as an Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (x) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (y) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December during such periods and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full; or
(ii)Other Advances.  During such periods as an Advance is (A) a Daily Simple RFR Advance denominated in Sterling, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (x) Daily Simple RFR plus (y) the Applicable Margin, (B) a Daily Simple RFR Advance denominated in a Foreign Currency (other than Sterling), a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (x) Daily Simple RFR plus (y) the Applicable Margin, (C) a Term SOFR Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (x) Term SOFR plus (y) the Applicable Margin, and (D) Eurocurrency Rate Advances, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (x) the applicable Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate plus (y) the Applicable Margin, payable in arrears on the Interest Payment Date and on the date such Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (including this Section 2.07) to the contrary, with respect to any Advance denominated in US Dollars as of the Effective Date, (A) the interest rate with respect to such Advance shall continue to be determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement immediately prior to the Effective Date through and until the last day of the 

current Interest Period with respect to such Advance and (B) after the termination of such current Interest Period with respect to such Advance, the interest rate for such Advance will thereafter be determined in accordance with the current terms of this Agreement.
(b)Default Interest.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a), the Administrative Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, require each applicable Borrower to pay interest (“Default Interest”) on (i) overdue principal of each Advance made to it, or such other Borrower Obligations (including L/C Obligations) arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document, owing to each Lender and Issuing Lender, payable in arrears on the dates referred to in clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Advance pursuant to clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above (or, with respect to such other Borrower Obligations, on the dates and at the rate per annum required to be paid with respect on Base Rate Advances pursuant to clause (a)(i) above) and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the amount of any overdue interest, Letter of Credit commission, fee or other amount payable hereunder with respect to Advances made to it, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 1% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on Base Rate Advances pursuant to clause (a)(i) above, provided, however, that following acceleration of the Advances pursuant to Section 6.01, Default Interest shall accrue and be payable hereunder whether or not previously required by the Administrative Agent.
(c)Maximum Rate.  In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest under this Agreement charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement exceed the highest rate permissible under any Applicable Law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto.  In the event that such a court determines that the Lenders have charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, the rate in effect hereunder shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law and the Lenders shall at the Administrative Agent’s option (i) promptly refund to the applicable Borrower any interest received by the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful rate or (ii) apply such excess to the principal balance of the Borrower Obligations.  It is the intent hereof that the Borrowers not pay or contract to pay, and that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by the Borrowers under Applicable Law.
(d)Interest Act (Canada).  For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever a rate of interest or fee rate hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) that contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest or fee rate shall be expressed as a yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest or fee rate by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation hereunder and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated herein are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.
Section 1.08.[Reserved].
Section 1.09.Optional Conversion of Advances.  The Company may, on behalf of one or more Borrowers, upon notice in substantially the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto (or such other form as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) (a “Notice of Continuation/Conversion”) given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M.  (New York City time) (i) in the case of an Advance denominated in US Dollars that is to be a Term SOFR Advance, at least three RFR Business Days before the day on which a proposed conversion or 

continuation of such Advance is to be effective, (ii) in the case of an Advance denominated in any Foreign Currency that is to be an RFR Advance, at least five RFR Business Days before the day on which a proposed conversion or continuation of such Advance is to be effective, and (iii) in the case of an Advance denominated in any Foreign Currency that is to be a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, at least four (4) Eurocurrency Banking Days (or five (5) Eurocurrency Banking Days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) before the day on which a proposed conversion or continuation of such Advance is to be effective, in each case, specifying (A) the Advances to be converted or continued, and, in the case of any Eurocurrency Rate Advance or Term SOFR Advance to be converted or continued, the last day of the Interest Period therefor, (B) the effective date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day), (C) the principal amount and Currency of such Advances to be converted or continued, and (D) in the case of any Eurocurrency Rate Advance or Term SOFR Advance, the Interest Period to be applicable to such converted or continued Eurocurrency Rate Advance or Term SOFR Advance; provided, however, that any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances or RFR Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.02(a).  If a Borrower fails to deliver a timely Notice of Conversion/Continuation with respect to a Daily Simple RFR Advance prior to the Interest Payment Date therefor, then, unless such RFR Advance is repaid as provided herein, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected that such RFR Advance shall automatically be converted to a Base Rate Advance denominated in US Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the applicable Foreign Currency, if applicable) as of such Interest Payment Date.  If a Borrower fails to deliver a timely Notice of Conversion/Continuation with respect to a Eurocurrency Rate Advance or a Term SOFR Advance prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such Eurocurrency Rate Advance or Term SOFR Advance, as applicable, is repaid as provided herein, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected that such Eurocurrency Rate Advance or Term SOFR Advance, as applicable, shall automatically be converted to a Base Rate Advance denominated in US Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the applicable Foreign Currency) at the end of such Interest Period.  If a Borrower requests a conversion to, or continuation of, a Eurocurrency Rate Advance or a Term SOFR Advance, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.  Each Notice of Continuation/Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Company and the applicable Borrower.
Section 1.10.Optional Prepayment of Advances.  Each Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay Advances, in whole or in part, with irrevocable prior written notice to the Administrative Agent from the Company substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F hereto (a “Notice of Prepayment”) given not later than 11:00 a.m., in the case of any Advance denominated in US Dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of any Advance denominated in a Foreign Currency (i) on the same Business Day as such prepayment is to occur, with respect to a Base Rate Advance and (ii)(A) in the case of a Term SOFR Advance denominated in US Dollars, at least three RFR Business Days before prepayment of such Term SOFR Advance, (B) in the case of an RFR Advance denominated in any Foreign Currency, at least five RFR Business Days before prepayment of such RFR Advance, and (C) in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance denominated in any Foreign Currency, at least four Eurocurrency Banking Days before prepayment of such Eurocurrency Rate Advance (or five Eurocurrency Banking Days in the case of a prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in a Special Notice Currency), specifying the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, Daily Simple RFR Advances, Term SOFR Advances, Base Rate Advances, or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each. Prior to any prepayment of Advances the Company shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection, including the relevant Tranche, in the Notice of Prepayment.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Tranche being prepaid.  If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be 

due and payable on the date set forth in such notice; provided, that, if a Notice of Prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.05(a), then such Notice of Prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.05(a) and the applicable Borrower shall remain liable for any amounts in respect of such proposed prepayment as provided in Section 9.04.  Partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate amount of $2,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof with respect to Base Rate Advances, and $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Advances, RFR Advances and Term SOFR Advances.  A Notice of Prepayment received after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day, Eurocurrency Banking Day or RFR Business Day, as applicable.  Each such repayment shall be accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 9.04(c).  No Borrower may prepay any Eurocurrency Rate Advance or Term SOFR Advance on any day other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless such prepayment is accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 9.04(c). No repayment or prepayment of the Advances pursuant to this Section shall affect any of the Company’s obligations under any Hedge Agreement entered into with respect to the Advances.
Section 1.11.Increased Costs
(a)Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:
(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including pursuant to regulations issued from time to time by the FRB for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including any emergency, special, supplemental or other marginal reserve requirement) with respect to eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency liabilities” in Regulation D of the FRB, as amended and in effect from time to time)), special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or advances, loans or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate) or any Issuing Lender;
(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
(iii)impose on any Lender or any Issuing Lender or (with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Advances) the applicable offshore interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Advances 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, any Issuing Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Advance (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance), or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Lender 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 Issuing Lender or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of such Lender, such Issuing Lender or other Recipient, the Company shall promptly pay to any such Lender, such Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, such Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)Capital Requirements.  If any Lender or any Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Issuing Lender or any Applicable Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’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 Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the Advances made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender or such Issuing Lender the Company shall promptly pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.  
(c)Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender, an Issuing Lender or such other Recipient setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender, such other Recipient or any of their respective holding companies, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Company, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Company shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
(d)Delay in Request.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender, any Issuing Lender or such other Recipient to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s, such Issuing Lender’s or such other Recipient’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any other Recipient pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s, such Issuing Lender’s or such other Recipient’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 nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 
(e)Survival.  All of the obligations of the Credit Parties under this Section 2.11 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 1.12.[Reserved].
Section 1.13.Payments and Computations.    Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder and under any other Loan Documents not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the day when due in US Dollars to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 1525 W. W.T. Harris Blvd., 1st Floor, Charlotte, NC 28262-8522 in same day funds.  The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or commitment fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.11, 2.14 or 9.04(c)) to the applicable Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Upon its acceptance 

of an Assignment and Assumption and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Assumption, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any other Loan Documents in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Assumption shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.  Upon any Assuming Lender becoming a Lender hereunder as a result of the effectiveness of a Commitment Increase pursuant to Section 2.05(b) or an extension of the Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.17 and upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Lender’s Assumption Agreement and recording of the information contained therein in the Register, from and after the applicable Increase Date or Extension Date, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any other Loan Documents issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assumed thereby to the Assuming Lender.
(b)All computations of interest based on Wells Fargo Bank’s prime rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest provided hereunder shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year), except that interest on Advances denominated in any Foreign Currency as to which market practice differs from the foregoing shall be computed in accordance with market practice for such Advances.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent demonstrable error.
(c)Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or commitment fee, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.
(d)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Company prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the applicable Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender.  If and to the extent the applicable Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.
Section 1.14.Taxes.    Any and all payments by any Credit Party hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any and all present or future Taxes and all liabilities with respect thereto, except as required by Applicable Law.  If any Credit Party shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (i) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholding (including deductions or withholding applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholding been made, (ii) such Credit Party shall make such deductions and 

(iii) such Credit Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.  
In addition, without duplication of Section 2.14(a), each Credit Party agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(b)The Company and the Guarantors jointly and severally shall indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.14) imposed on or paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.  This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.
(c)Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes (including Excluded Taxes) to a Governmental Authority by the Company or any Foreign Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.14, the Company shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. The Administrative Agent will post any receipt so received in relation to the payment of Taxes (including Excluded Taxes) from the Company or any Foreign Borrower on the Platform promptly upon receipt.
(d)    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 Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States (each, a “Foreign Lender”), on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender and on the date of the Assumption Agreement or the Assignment and Assumption, as the case may be, pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter as requested in writing by the Company (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Company with two original Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States Federal withholding Tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement.  Each Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code shall further provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Company (x) a certificate to the effect that such Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3) or 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code.  In addition, each Lender that is organized under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent two copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto) on or before the date such Lender 

becomes a party to this Agreement and upon the expiration of any form previously delivered by such Lender.  
(ii)If a payment made to a Lender hereunder would be subject to 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 Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (ii), “FATCA” includes any amendment made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(iii)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 Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(e)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 any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.07(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 2.14(e).
(f)    Subject to (ii) below, each Lender and each UK Borrower that makes a payment to such Lender shall cooperate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for such UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make such payment without withholding or deduction for Taxes imposed under the laws of the United Kingdom, to the extent provided by the applicable UK Treaty.
(ii)    A Lender on the Effective Date that (x) holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme and (y) wishes such scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall provide its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence to each UK Borrower and the Administrative Agent; and
(B)a Lender that becomes a Lender hereunder after the Effective Date that (x) holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme and (y) wishes such scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall provide its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence to each UK Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(C)Upon satisfying either clause (A) or (B) above, such Lender shall have satisfied its obligation under paragraph (f)(i) above.
(iii)If a Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (f)(ii) above, the UK Borrower(s) shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any case within 10 Business Days of receiving such confirmation, make a Borrower DTTP Filing with respect to such Lender, and shall promptly provide such Lender with a copy of such filing; provided that, if each UK Borrower making a payment to such Lender has made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of such Lender but:
(1)    such Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs; or
(2)    HM Revenue & Customs has not given such UK Borrower authority to make payments to such Lender without a deduction for tax, or where the UK Treaty does not provide for full relief, HM Revenue & Customs has not given such UK Borrower authority to make payments to such Lender without a reduced deduction for tax in accordance with the provisions of the relevant UK Treaty within 30 days of the date of such Borrower DTTP Filing;
and in each case, such UK Borrower has notified that Lender in writing of  (1) or (2) above, then such Lender and such UK Borrower shall cooperate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for such UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without withholding or deduction for Taxes imposed under the laws of the United Kingdom.
(iv)If a Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (f)(ii) above, no UK Borrower shall make a Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme in respect of that Lender’s Commitments or Loans unless the Lender otherwise agrees.
(v)Each UK Borrower shall, promptly on making a Borrower DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of such Borrower DTTP Filing to the Administrative Agent for delivery to the relevant Lender.
(vi)Each Lender shall notify the Company, the applicable UK Borrower and the Administrative Agent if it determines in its sole discretion that it ceases to be entitled to claim the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United Kingdom is a party with respect to payments made by any UK Borrower hereunder.
(g)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 (including by the payment of additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph the payment of which would place such indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position 

than such indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(h)Each party’s obligations under this Section 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 this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 1.15.Sharing of Payments, Etc.  If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Advances or L/C Obligations owing to it (other than pursuant to Section 2.11, 2.14 or 9.04(c)) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Advances or L/C Obligations of the relevant Tranche obtained by all the Lenders of such Tranche, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders of such Tranche such participations in the Advances or L/C Obligations of such Tranche owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender of such Tranche shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered; provided, further, that, so long as the Advances or L/C Obligations shall not have become due and payable pursuant to Section 6.01, any excess payment received by any Lender shall be shared on a pro rata basis only with other Lenders that have Commitments, Advances or L/C Obligations in such Tranche; provided, further, that the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances to any assignee or participant or participations in Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant.  Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.
Section 1.16.Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the Advances or Letters of Credit shall be available (and each Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) for general corporate purposes of each such Borrower and its Subsidiaries. No Borrower will knowingly, while exercising due care, request any Advances or Letters of Credit, and no Borrower shall knowingly, while exercising due care, use, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower exercising due care, each Borrower shall cause its respective Subsidiaries not to knowingly, while exercising due care, use, the proceeds of any Advances or Letters of Credit (a) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person (i) in violation of any applicable Sanctions or Anti-Corruption Law or (ii) in a manner that would cause any Lender to be in violation of any Sanctions, (b) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction in, of or with (including any payments to any agent acting on behalf of the Company in the scope of the Company’s business) any Sanctioned Person in violation of applicable Sanctions or (c) in any manner that would result in the violation of the FCPA and any foreign counterpart thereto.

Section 1.17.Extension of Termination Date.    At least 60 days prior to any applicable Termination Date in effect, the Company, on behalf of the Borrowers, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, may request an extension of any Termination Date in effect at such time by one year from its then scheduled expiration; provided that the Company may request an extension no more than two times during the term of this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such request, and each Lender shall in turn, in its sole discretion, not later than the date specified in such notice (subject to extension by the Company), notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing as to whether such Lender will consent to such extension.  If any Lender shall fail to notify the Administrative Agent and the Company in writing of its consent to any such request for extension of the Termination Date prior to the date specified in such notice (as extended, if applicable), such Lender shall be deemed to be a Non-Consenting Lender with respect to such request.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the decision of the Lenders regarding the Company’s request for an extension of the Termination Date.
(b)If all the Lenders consent in writing to any such request in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.17, the Termination Date in effect at such time shall, effective as at the applicable date specified pursuant to subsection (a) above (the “Extension Date”), be extended for one year; provided that on each Extension Date the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.02 shall be satisfied.  If less than all of the Lenders consent in writing to any such request in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.17, the Termination Date in effect at such time shall, effective as at the applicable Extension Date and subject to subsection (d) of this Section 2.17, be extended as to those Lenders that so consented (each a “Consenting Lender”).  To the extent that the Termination Date is not extended as to any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.17 and the Commitments of such Lender are not substituted in accordance with subsection (c) of this Section 2.17 on or prior to the applicable Extension Date, the Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lender shall automatically terminate in whole on such unextended Termination Date without any further notice or other action by the Company, such Lender or any other Person; provided that such Non-Consenting Lender’s rights under Sections 2.11, 2.14 and 8.04, and its obligations under Section 7.05, shall survive the Termination Date for such Lender as to matters occurring prior to such date.  It is understood and agreed that no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree to any request made by the Company for any requested extension of the Termination Date.
(c)If less than all of the Lenders consent to any such request pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 2.17, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Consenting Lenders, and each Consenting Lender may, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Administrative Agent not later than 30 days prior to the applicable Extension Date of the amount of the Non-Consenting Lenders’ Commitments for which it is willing to accept an assignment.  If the Consenting Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that they are willing to accept assignments of Commitments in an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the Commitments of the Non-Consenting Lenders, such Commitments shall be allocated among the Consenting Lenders willing to accept such assignments in such amounts as are agreed between the Company and the Administrative Agent.  If after giving effect to the assignments of Commitments described above there remain any Commitments of Non-Consenting Lenders, the Company may arrange for one or more Consenting Lenders or other Eligible Assignees as Assuming Lenders to assume, effective as of the applicable Extension Date, all or a portion of Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitments and all of the obligations of such Non-Consenting Lender under this Agreement thereafter arising, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such Non-Consenting Lender; provided, however, that the amount of the Commitments of any such Assuming Lender as a result of such substitution shall in no event be less than $10,000,000 unless the amount of the Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lender is less than $10,000,000, in which case such Assuming Lender shall assume all of such lesser amount; and provided further that:

(i)any such Consenting Lender or Assuming Lender shall have paid to such Non-Consenting Lender (A) the aggregate principal amount of, and any interest accrued and unpaid to the effective date of the assignment on, the outstanding Extensions of Credit, if any, of such Non-Consenting Lender plus (B) any accrued but unpaid commitment fees owing to such Non-Consenting Lender as of the effective date of such assignment;
(ii)all additional costs reimbursements, expense reimbursements and indemnities payable to such Non-Consenting Lender, and all other accrued and unpaid amounts owing to such Non-Consenting Lender hereunder, as of the effective date of such assignment shall have been paid to such Non-Consenting Lender; and
(iii)with respect to any such Assuming Lender, the applicable processing and recordation fee required under Section 9.07(b) for such assignment shall have been paid;
provided further that such Non-Consenting Lender’s rights under Sections 2.11, 2.14 and 9.04, and its obligations under Section 7.05, shall survive such substitution as to matters occurring prior to the date of substitution.  At least three Business Days prior to any Extension Date, (A) each such Assuming Lender, if any, shall have delivered to the Company and the Administrative Agent an Assumption Agreement, duly executed by such Assuming Lender, such Non-Consenting Lender, the Company and the Administrative Agent and (B) any such Consenting Lender shall have delivered confirmation in writing satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent as to the increase in the amount of its Commitments.  Upon the payment or prepayment of all amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence, each such Consenting Lender or Assuming Lender, as of the applicable Extension Date, will be substituted for such Non-Consenting Lender under this Agreement and shall be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, without any further acknowledgment by or the consent of the other Lenders, and the obligations of each such Non-Consenting Lender hereunder shall, by the provisions hereof, be released and discharged.
(d)If (after giving effect to any assignments or assumptions pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 2.17) Lenders having Commitments equal to at least 50% of the Commitments in effect immediately prior to the applicable Extension Date consent in writing to a requested extension (whether by execution or delivery of an Assumption Agreement or otherwise) not later than one Business Day prior to such Extension Date, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Company, and, subject to the satisfaction to the applicable conditions in Section 3.02, the Termination Date then in effect shall be extended for the additional one year period as described in subsection (a) of this Section 2.17, and all references in this Agreement, and in the other Loan Documents, if any, to the “Termination Date” shall, with respect to each Consenting Lender and each Assuming Lender for such Extension Date, refer to the Termination Date as so extended.  Promptly following each Extension Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Assuming Lender) of the extension of the scheduled Termination Date in effect immediately prior thereto and shall thereupon record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each such Consenting Lender and each such Assuming Lender.
Section 1.18.Defaulting Lenders.  
(a)Defaulting Lender 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:

(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.
(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 hereunder (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VI or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.05 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:  first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Company, on behalf of the Borrowers, may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Extensions of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, to Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Lenders with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.21, fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (A) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances under this Agreement and (B) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.21; fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, 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 Advances or funded participations in Letters of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Advances were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of, or funded participations in Letters of Credit owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of, or funded participations in Letters of Credit owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Advances are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.18(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)Certain Fees.  
(A)No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive a commitment fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender, and no Borrower shall be required to pay such fee otherwise payable to a Defaulting Lender.
(B)Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit commissions pursuant to Section 10.03 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.21.
(C)With respect to any Commitment Fee or Letter of Credit commission not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause 

(A) or (B) above, the Company shall (1) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations that have been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (c) below, (2) pay to each applicable Issuing Lender the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (3) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
(b)Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Company and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower 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 Non-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.
(c)Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment.  Subject to Section 9.14, 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.
(d)Cash Collateral.  If the reallocation described in subsection (c) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.21.
Section 1.19.Mitigation of Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.11, or requires any Borrower to pay additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Company) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.11 or 2.14, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.11, or if any Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account 

of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, or following such Lender’s Downgrade, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.07(b)), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:
(i)such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances and funded participations in Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (including any amounts under Section 9.04(c)) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all other amounts);
(ii)on the date payment of all amounts referred to in Section 2.19(b)(i) has been made, such Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered an Assignment and Assumption, and the Company shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Assumption on behalf of such Lender;
(iii)in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.11 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
(iv)such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law; and
(v)in the case of any assignment resulting from  a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
Section 1.20.Changed Circumstances.
(a)Circumstances Affecting Eurocurrency Rate and RFRs.  
(i)Subject to clause (c) below, in connection with any RFR Advance or Eurocurrency Rate Advance, a request therefor, a conversion to or a continuation thereof or otherwise, if for any reason (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that (x) if a Daily Simple RFR is utilized in any calculations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Borrower Obligations, interest, fees, commissions or other amounts, reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining such Daily Simple RFR pursuant to the definition thereof or (y) if Term SOFR or a Eurocurrency Rate is utilized in any calculations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Borrower Obligations, interest, fees, commissions or other amounts, reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining Term SOFR or such Eurocurrency Rate, as applicable for the applicable Currency and the applicable Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Advance or Eurocurrency Rate Advance, as applicable, on or prior to the first day of such Interest Period, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that a 

fundamental change has occurred in the foreign exchange or interbank markets with respect to an applicable Foreign Currency (including changes in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls), (iii) with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Advance, the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that deposits are not being offered in the applicable Currency to banks in the London or other applicable offshore interbank market for the applicable Currency, amount or Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Advance, or (iv) the Required Lenders shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that (x) if a Daily Simple RFR is utilized in any calculations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Borrower Obligations, interest, fees, commissions or other amounts, such Daily Simple RFR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Advances or (y) if Term SOFR or a Eurocurrency Rate is utilized in any calculations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Borrower Obligations, interest, fees, commissions or other amounts, Term SOFR or such Eurocurrency Rate, as applicable, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Advances during the applicable Interest Period and, in the case of (x) or (y), the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent, then, in each case, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Company.  Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Company, any obligation of the Lenders to make RFR Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances, as applicable, in each such Currency, and any right of any Borrower to convert any Advance in each such Currency (if applicable) or to continue any Advance as an RFR Advance or a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, as applicable, in each such Currency, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected RFR Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances or, in the case of Term SOFR Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (iv), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, (A) any Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of RFR Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances in each such affected Currency (to the extent of the affected RFR Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances or, in the case of Term SOFR Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, (I) in the case of any request for a borrowing of an affected RFR Advance in US Dollars, such Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Advances in the amount specified therein and (II) in the case of any request for a borrowing of an affected RFR Advance or Eurocurrency Rate Advances in a Foreign Currency, then such request shall be ineffective and (B)(I) any outstanding affected RFR Advances denominated in US Dollars will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Advances immediately or, in the case of Term SOFR Advances, at the end of the applicable Interest Period and (II) any outstanding affected Advances denominated in a Foreign Currency, at the Company’s election, shall either  be converted into Base Rate Advances denominated in US Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Foreign Currency) immediately or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, at the end of the applicable Interest Period or  be prepaid in full immediately or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, at the end of the applicable Interest Period; provided that if no election is made by the applicable Borrower by the date is the earlier of (x) three (3) Business Days after receipt by the Company of such notice or (y) with respect to a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, the last day of the current Interest Period the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) above.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest (except with respect to any prepayment or conversion of a Daily Simple RFR Advance) on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 9.04(c).

(b)Laws Affecting Eurocurrency Rate or RFR Availability.  If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any Daily Simple RFR Advance, Term SOFR Advance or Eurocurrency Rate Advance, or to determine or charge interest based upon any applicable RFR, Daily Simple RFR, Term SOFR, the Eurocurrency Rate or the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Company and the other Lenders (an “Illegality Notice”).  Thereafter, until each affected Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the  Administrative Agent notifies the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, (i) any obligation of the Lenders to make RFR Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances, as applicable, in the affected Currency or Currencies, and any right of any Borrower to convert any Advance denominated in US Dollars to an RFR Advance or continue any Advance as an RFR Advance or a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, as applicable, in the affected Currency or Currencies shall be suspended and (ii) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”.  Upon receipt an Illegality Notice, the applicable Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, (A) convert all RFR Advances denominated in US Dollars to Base Rate Advances or (B) convert all RFR Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in an affected Foreign Currency to Base Rate Advances denominated in US Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Foreign Currency) (in each case, if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”), (I) with respect to Daily Simple RFR Advances, on the Interest Payment Date therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such Daily Simple RFR Advances to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Daily Simple RFR Advances to such day or (II) with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Advances or Term SOFR Advances, on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Advances or Term SOFR Advances, as applicable, to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Advances or Term SOFR Advances, as applicable, to such day.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest (except with respect to any prepayment or conversion of a Daily Simple RFR Advance) on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 9.04(c).
(c)Benchmark Replacement Setting.
(i)Benchmark Replacement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event with respect to any Benchmark, the Administrative Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement to replace such Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement.  Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Company so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.  No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.20(c)(i) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(ii)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(iii)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.20(c)(iv).  Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.20(c), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.20(c).
(iv)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate, EURIBOR, BBSY or CDOR) and either (1) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (2) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (1) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (2) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(v)Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Upon the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a given Benchmark, (A) any Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of RFR Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances, in each case, to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period denominated in the applicable Currency and, failing that, (I) in the case of any request for any affected Term SOFR Advances, if applicable, the applicable Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Advances in the amount specified therein and (II) in the case of any request for any affected RFR Advance or Eurocurrency Rate Advance, in each case, in a Foreign Currency, if applicable, then such request shall be ineffective and (B)(I) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Advances, if applicable, will be deemed to have been 

converted into Base Rate Advances at the end of the applicable Interest Period and (II) any outstanding affected RFR Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances, in each case, denominated in a Foreign Currency, at the applicable Borrower’s election, shall either (1) be converted into Base Rate Advances denominated in US Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Foreign Currency) immediately or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, at the end of the applicable Interest Period or (2) be prepaid in full immediately or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, at the end of the applicable Interest Period; provided that, with respect to any Daily Simple RFR Advance, if no election is made by the applicable Borrower by the date that is three (3) Business Days after receipt by the applicable Borrower of such notice, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) above; provided, further that, with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Advance, if no election is made by the applicable Borrower by the earlier of (x) the date that is three (3) Business Days after receipt by the Company or the applicable Borrower of such notice and (y) the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Advance, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) above.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest (except with respect to any prepayment or conversion of a Daily Simple RFR Advance) on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required under this Agreement.  During a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to any Benchmark or at any time that a tenor for any then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark that is the subject of such Benchmark Unavailability Period or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.
(d)Illegality.   If, in any applicable jurisdiction, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender to (i) perform any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (ii) to fund or maintain its participation in any Extension of Credit or (iii) issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest or fees with respect to any Extension of Credit to any Foreign Borrower such Person shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, then, upon the Administrative Agent notifying the Company, and until such notice by such Person is revoked, any obligation of such Person to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest or fees with respect to any such Extension of Credit shall be suspended and, to the extent required by Applicable Law, cancelled.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Company shall, (A) repay that Person’s participation in the Extensions of Credit or other applicable Borrower Obligations on the applicable Interest Payment Date for any Daily Simple RFR Advance or on last day of the Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Rate Advance or Term SOFR Advance, or on another applicable date with respect to any other Borrower Obligation, occurring after the Administrative Agent has notified the Company or, in each case, if earlier, the date specified by such Person in the notice delivered to the Administrative Agent (being no earlier than the last day of any applicable grace period permitted by Applicable Law) and (B) take all reasonable actions requested by such Person to mitigate or avoid such illegality.
(e)Foreign Currencies.   If, after the designation by the Lenders of any currency as a Foreign Currency, any change in currency controls or exchange regulations or any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions are imposed in the country in which such currency is issued, and such change results in, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent (i) such currency no longer being readily available, freely transferable and convertible into US Dollars, (ii) a Dollar Equivalent no longer being readily calculable with respect to such currency or (iii) such currency being impracticable for the Lenders to loan (each of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), a “Disqualifying Event”), then the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Company, and such currency shall no longer be a Foreign 

Currency until such time as the Disqualifying Event(s) no longer exist.  Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrowers shall repay all Advances denominated in such currency to which the Disqualifying Event(s) apply or convert such Advances into the Dollar Equivalent in US Dollars, bearing interest at the Base Rate, subject to the other terms contained herein.
Section 1.21.Cash Collateral.  At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Company shall Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure of such Issuing Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount. 
(a)Grant of Security Interest.  The Company, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Issuing Lender, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations, to be applied pursuant to subsection (b) below.  If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or each Issuing Lender as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Company will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
(b)Application.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.21 or Section 2.18 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
(c)Termination of Requirement.  Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Fronting Exposure of any Issuing Lender shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.21 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.18, the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Lenders may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

ARTICLE VII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Section 1.01.Appointment and Authority.  Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Wells Fargo Bank to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and, except as provided in Section 7.07, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary thereof shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law.  Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.
Section 1.02.Rights as a Lender.  The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person 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 business with the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
Section 1.03.Exculpatory Provisions. 
(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 and 

thereunder shall be administrative in nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
(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;
(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 Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and
(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 the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
(b)The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (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 9.01 and 6.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final nonappealable judgment.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by any Borrower or a Lender.
(c)The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
Section 1.04.Reliance by the Administrative Agent.  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 an Advance 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 Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Advance.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
Section 1.05.Indemnification.  The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders (to the extent not reimbursed by the Credit Parties), ratably according to their Commitments, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Lender in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender under this Agreement, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s or such Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Credit Parties.
Section 1.06.Delegation of Duties.  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 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.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article 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 this credit facility 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 1.07.Resignation of Administrative Agent.
(a)The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Company.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Company, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring 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, 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.

(b)If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders or the Company, on behalf of the Borrowers, may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Company, if being done by the Required Lenders, and such Person, remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Company, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders or the Company, on behalf of the Borrowers, as applicable, 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.
(c)With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable), (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) 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 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 Article, Section 7.10 and Section 9.04 and  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.
(d)Any resignation by, or removal of, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Lender.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Lender, if in its sole discretion it elects to, (ii) the retiring Issuing Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor Issuing Lender, if in its sole discretion it elects to, shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit.
Section 1.08.Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender 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 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 1.09.No Other Duties, Etc.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the syndication agents, documentation agents, co-agents, arrangers or bookrunners listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender.
Section 1.10.Guaranty Matters.  Each of the Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Guarantor from its obligations under any Loan Documents if such Person ceases to be a Material Domestic Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents.  Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Guarantor from its obligations under this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.10.  In each case as specified in this Section 7.10, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Credit Party such documents as such Credit Party may reasonably request to release such Guarantor from its obligations under this Agreement, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 7.10.  
Section 1.11.Erroneous Payments.
(a)Each Lender and any other party hereto hereby severally agrees that if (i) the Administrative Agent notifies (which such notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error) such Lender or any other Person that has received funds from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, either for its own account or on behalf of a Lender (each such recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) or (ii) any Payment Recipient receives any payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted or received in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then, in each case, an error in payment shall be presumed to have been made (any such amounts specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 7.11(a), whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”), then, in each case, such Payment Recipient is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of its receipt of such Erroneous Payment; provided that nothing in this Section shall require the Administrative Agent to provide any of the notices specified in clauses (i) or (ii) above. Each Payment Recipient agrees that it shall not assert any right or claim to any Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. 
(b)Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient agrees that, in the case of clause (a)(ii) above, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such occurrence.
(c)In the case of either clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and upon 

demand from the Administrative Agent such Payment Recipient shall (or, shall cause any Person who received any portion of an Erroneous Payment on its behalf to), promptly, but in all events no later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in Same Day Funds and in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the Overnight Rate.
(d)In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (c), from any Lender that is a Payment Recipient or an Affiliate of a Payment Recipient (such unrecovered amount as to such Lender, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), then at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and upon the Administrative Agent’s written notice to such Lender (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have made a cashless assignment of the full face amount of the portion of its Advances (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) to the Administrative Agent or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s applicable lending affiliate in an amount that is equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Advances (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment  Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such assigned amount, without further consent or approval of any party hereto and without any payment by the Administrative Agent or its applicable lending affiliate as the assignee of such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (1) any assignment contemplated in this clause (d) shall be made without any requirement for any payment or other consideration paid by the applicable assignee or received by the assignor, (2) the provisions of this clause (d) shall govern in the event of any conflict with the terms and conditions of Section 9.07 and (3) the Administrative Agent may reflect such assignments in the Register without further consent or action by any other Person.
(e)Each party hereto hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent (1) shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Payment Recipient with respect to such amount and (2) is authorized to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 7.11 or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, (y) the receipt of an Erroneous Payment by a Payment Recipient shall not for the purpose of this Agreement be treated as a payment, prepayment, repayment, discharge or other satisfaction of any Borrower Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Credit Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from a Borrower or any other Credit Party for the purpose of making for a payment on the Borrower Obligations and (z) to the extent that an Erroneous Payment was in any way or at any time credited as payment or satisfaction of any of the Borrower Obligations, the Borrower Obligations or any part thereof that were so credited, and all rights of the Payment Recipient, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment or satisfaction had never been received.
(f)Each party’s obligations under this Section 7.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of right or obligations by, or the 

replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Borrower Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.
(g)Nothing in this Section 7.11 will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of the Administrative Agent hereunder arising from any Payment Recipient’s receipt of an Erroneous Payment.

ARTICLE VIII

GUARANTY
Section 1.01.The Guaranty.  In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by the Guarantors from the Advances hereunder, each of the Guarantors and the Company hereby agrees with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as follows: (a) each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably jointly and severally guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of (i) any and all of the Borrower Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) the Guaranteed Obligations and (b) the Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably jointly and severally guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of (i) the Foreign Borrower Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) the Guaranteed Obligations.  
If any or all of the indebtedness becomes due and payable hereunder, each Guarantor unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, or their respective order, on demand, together with any and all reasonable expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in collecting any of the Borrower Obligations.  The Guaranty set forth in this Article VIII is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collection.  The word “indebtedness” is used in this Article VIII in its most comprehensive sense and includes any and all advances, debts, obligations and liabilities of the Borrowers, including specifically all Borrower Obligations, arising in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and all Guaranteed Obligations, in each case, heretofore, now, or hereafter made, incurred or created, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, whether or not such indebtedness is from time to time reduced, or extinguished and thereafter increased or incurred, whether any Borrower may be liable individually or jointly with others, whether or not recovery upon such indebtedness may be or hereafter become barred by any statute of limitations, and whether or not such indebtedness may be or hereafter becomes otherwise unenforceable.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Loan Documents, to the extent the obligations of a Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of each such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under Applicable Law (whether federal or state and including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code).
Section 1.02.Bankruptcy.  Additionally: (a) each of the Guarantors unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees jointly and severally the payment of any and all Borrower Obligations of any Borrower and the Guaranteed Obligations to the Lenders whether or not due or payable by any Borrower or any other Credit Party upon the occurrence of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other proceeding or procedure under any Debtor Relief Law and unconditionally promises to pay such Borrower Obligations and such Guaranteed Obligations to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, or order, on demand, in lawful money 

of the United States, and (b) the Company unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees jointly and severally the payment of any and all Foreign Borrower Obligations of any Foreign Borrower and the Guaranteed Obligations to the Lenders whether or not due or payable by any Foreign Borrower or any other Credit Party upon the occurrence of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other proceeding or procedure under any Debtor Relief Law and unconditionally promises to pay such Foreign Borrower Obligations and the Guaranteed Obligations to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, or order, on demand, in lawful money of the United States.  Each of the Guarantors further agrees that to the extent that any Borrower or a Guarantor shall make a payment or a transfer of an interest in any property to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, which payment or transfer or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, or otherwise is avoided, and/or required to be repaid to any Borrower or a Guarantor, the estate of any Borrower or a Guarantor, a trustee, receiver or any other party under any Debtor Relief Laws, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such avoidance or repayment, the obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment had not been made.
For the avoidance of doubt, no Foreign Borrower shall guaranty or be liable for any Borrower Obligations of the Company, any of its Domestic Subsidiaries or any other Foreign Borrower.
Section 1.03.Nature of Liability.  The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the relevant Borrower Obligations whether executed by any such Guarantor, any other guarantor or by any other party, and no Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by any Borrower or by any other party, or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Borrower Obligations, or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by any Borrower, or (e) any payment made to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the applicable Borrower Obligations which the Administrative Agent or such Lenders provides to any Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each of the Guarantors waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding.
Section 1.04.Independent Obligation.  The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Guarantor or any applicable Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor or any applicable Borrower and whether or not any other Guarantor or any other Borrower is joined in any such action or actions.
Section 1.05.Authorization.  Each of the Guarantors authorizes the Administrative Agent, each Lender without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to (a) renew, compromise, extend, increase, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of the Borrower Obligations, the Foreign Borrower Obligations or any part thereof in accordance with this Agreement, including any increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon, (b) take and hold security from any Guarantor or any other party for the payment of this Guaranty, the Borrower Obligations or the Foreign Borrower Obligations and exchange, enforce waive and release any such security, (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in their discretion may determine and (d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, Guarantors, Borrowers or other obligors.

Section 1.06.Reliance.  It is not necessary for the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Borrower or the officers, directors, members, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any Borrower Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.
Section 1.07.Waiver. 
(a)Each of the Guarantors waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to (i) proceed against any Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s rights whatsoever.  Each of the Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party other than payment in full of the Borrower Obligations or the Foreign Borrower Obligations, as applicable (other than, in either case, contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made or cannot be reasonably identified by an Indemnified Party based on the then-known facts and circumstances), including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of any Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Borrower Obligations or the Foreign Borrower Obligations, as applicable, or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower other than payment in full of the Borrower Obligations or the Foreign Borrower Obligations, as applicable.  The Administrative Agent may, at its election, exercise any right or remedy the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against any Borrower or any other party without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Borrower Obligations or the Foreign Borrower Obligations, as applicable, have been paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated.  Each of the Guarantors waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Guarantors against any Borrower or any other party.
(b)Each of the Guarantors waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notice of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Borrower Obligations or the Foreign Borrower Obligations, as applicable.  Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Borrower Obligations or the Foreign Borrower Obligations, as applicable, and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it regarding such circumstances or risks.
(c)Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees it will not exercise any rights of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) to the claims of the Lenders against any Borrower or any other guarantor of the Borrower Obligations or the Foreign Borrower Obligations, as applicable, owing to the Lenders (collectively, the “Other Parties”) and all contractual, statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from any Other Party which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty until such time as the Borrower Obligations or the Foreign Borrower Obligations, as applicable, shall have been paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated.  Each of the Guarantors hereby further agrees not to exercise any right to enforce any other remedy which the Administrative Agent, the Lenders now have or may hereafter have against any Other Party, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Borrower Obligations or the Foreign Borrower 

Obligations, as applicable, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to or for the benefit of the Lenders to secure payment of the Borrower Obligations or the Foreign Borrower Obligations, as applicable, until such time as the Borrower Obligations or the Foreign Borrower Obligations, as applicable (other than, in either case, contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made or cannot be reasonably identified by an Indemnified Party based on the then-known facts and circumstances) shall have been paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated.
Section 1.08.Limitation on Enforcement.  The Lenders agree that this Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of the Administrative Agent acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders and that no Lender or any other Person shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders under the terms of this Agreement.  The Lenders further agree that this Guaranty may not be enforced against any director, officer, employee or stockholder of the Guarantors.
Section 1.09.Confirmation of Payment.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders will, upon request after payment of the Borrower Obligations which are the subject of this Guaranty and termination of the Commitments relating thereto, confirm to the Company, the Guarantors or any other Person that such indebtedness and obligations have been paid and the Commitments relating thereto terminated, subject to the provisions of Section 8.02.

If the obligations subject to set off are in different currencies, the Lender or Issuing Lender or its Affiliate may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off.  Each Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees promptly to notify the applicable Credit Party, after any such set-off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

Any Lender may at any time and, if demanded by the Company in accordance with Section 2.17 or 2.19 at a time when no Default has occurred and is continuing upon at least five Business Days’ notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, will 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 Advances at the time owing to it, in each case under any Tranche); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(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 Advance or the Commitment of any Tranche assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a proportionate part of all of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities or Tranches on a non-pro rata basis.
(iii)Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:
(A)the consent of the Company, on behalf of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default pursuant to clause (a) or (e) of Section 6.01 has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Approved Fund or an Affiliate of a Lender organized in the United States; provided that the Company, on behalf of the Borrowers shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having received notice thereof; 
(B)the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund; and
(C)the consent of each Issuing Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for all assignments.
(iv)Assignment and Assumption.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that (A) only one such fee will be payable in connection with simultaneous assignments to two or more related Approved Funds by a Lender and (B) the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment; provided, further, that no such processing and recordation fee shall be paid in connection with an assignment made pursuant to Section 2.19.  The assignee, if it is not a 

Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and if it shall not already be a Lender, any tax forms required by Section 2.14(f).
(v)No Assignment to Certain Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to (A) any person that is not an Eligible Assignee or (B) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the 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 2.11 and 9.04, and subject to the obligations of Section 7.05, in each case, 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 paragraph (d) of this Section.
(c)Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assumption Agreement and each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments (including the relevant Tranche) of, and principal amounts of the Advances owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent demonstrable 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 Company, on behalf of the Borrowers, and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or any Credit Party or any of their 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 Advances owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 7.05 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an 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 Commitments, other obligations under this Agreement (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 or other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan 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 demonstrable 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.
(e)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 clauses (b)(ii) and (iii) of the first proviso of Section 9.01 that directly and adversely affects such Participant.  The Borrowers agree that, subject to paragraph (f) below, each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11 and 2.14 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.19 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section.  To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.05 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15 as though it were a Lender.
(f)Limitations upon Participant Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.11 and 2.14 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company’s, on behalf of the Borrowers, prior written consent; provided that the Participant shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.15 and 2.19.  A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of each Borrower, to comply with Section 2.14(e) as though it were a Lender.
(g)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; 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.
Section 1.08.Confidentiality.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall disclose any Confidential Information to any other Person without the consent of the Company, on behalf of the Borrowers, except that Confidential Information may be disclosed (a) to the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s 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 Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential 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); (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 swap, 

derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to any Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder; or (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating any Borrower or its Subsidiaries or this credit facility or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the facilities.
Section 1.09.Governing Law.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.
Section 1.10.Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  
(a)Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  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 and any Issuing Lender 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 3.01, 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.
(b)Electronic Execution.  The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery” and words of like import in or related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any document, amendment, approval, consent, waiver, modification, information, notice, certificate, report, statement, disclosure, or authorization to be signed or delivered in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures or execution in the form of an Electronic Record, and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, deliveries 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.  Each party hereto agrees that any Electronic Signature or execution in the form of an Electronic Record shall be valid and binding on itself and each of the other parties hereto to the same extent as a manual, original signature.  For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by the parties of a manually signed paper which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed paper converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature from any party hereto, the Administrative Agent and the other parties hereto shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the executing party without further verification and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature 

shall be promptly followed by an original manually executed counterpart thereof.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby (A) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and any of the Credit Parties, electronic images of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (in each case, including with respect to any signature pages thereto)  shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, and (B) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents based solely on the lack of paper original copies of any Loan Documents, including with respect to any signature pages thereto.
Section 1.11.Jurisdiction, Etc.   Each Credit Party 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 or any Related Party of the foregoing in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, 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 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 Law.  Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document 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 Credit Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
(b)Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any New York State or federal court.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

Each Lender that is subject to the Patriot Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.
Section 1.13.Waiver of Jury Trial.  Each of the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the actions of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement thereof.

Section 1.14.Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

The applicable Credit Parties hereby ratify, affirm and acknowledge all of their obligations in respect of the Existing Credit Agreement and the related documents and agreements delivered by them thereunder, as amended by this Agreement.  The Lenders hereby agree that the commitments with respect to the Existing Credit Agreement are amended and restated to be the Commitments of this Agreement and hereby waive, on the Effective Date only, any pro rata payment provisions of this Agreement to the extent any such payments are required to repay any obligations owing to any lender under the Existing Credit Agreement that will not continue as a Lender under this Agreement.  On the Effective Date, all loans of the Credit Parties outstanding as of such date under the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended, shall be deemed to be Advances under the corresponding facilities described herein without any further action by any Person; provided that such continued loans will be reallocated, if necessary, among the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments hereunder.
Section 1.16.Judgment Currency.  If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be the Spot Rate.  The obligation of any Credit Party in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the Agreement Currency, each Credit Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender or 

the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Company, for itself or another Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under Applicable Law).

Any of the foregoing taken or received by the Company on behalf of any Foreign Borrower will be deemed for all purposes to have been taken or received by such Foreign Borrower and will be binding on such Person to the same extent as if directly taken or received by such Foreign Borrower.
Section 1.18.[reserved].  
Section 1.19.Australian Code of Banking Practice.  The Australian Bankers' Association Code of Banking Practice does not apply to the Loan Documents and the transactions under them.
Section 1.20.Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.  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 FDIC 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): 
(a)In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the 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. 
(b)As used in this Section 9.20, the following terms have the following meanings:
“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

(iii)a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).
“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D). 
Section 1.21.Crediting of Payments and Proceeds. In the event that the Obligations have been accelerated pursuant to Section 6.01 or the Administrative Agent or any Lender has exercised any remedy set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, all payments received on account of the Borrower Obligations and Guaranteed Obligations and all net proceeds from the enforcement of the Borrower Obligations and Guaranteed Obligations shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.18, 2.21 and 10.12, be applied by the Administrative Agent as follows:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Guaranteed Cash Management Obligations and Guaranteed Hedge Obligations shall be excluded from the application described above if the 

Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable holders thereof following such acceleration or exercise of remedies and at least three (3) Business Days prior to the application of the proceeds thereof.  Each holder of Guaranteed Cash Management Obligations or Guaranteed Hedge Obligations that, in either case, is not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article VII for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, or any Applicable Law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the Effective Date, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable, in effect or known to such Issuing Lender as of the Effective Date and that such Issuing Lender in good faith deems material to it, (B) the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 are not satisfied, (C) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Lender applicable to letters of credit generally, (D) the proceeds of which would be made available to any Person to fund any activity or business of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, in each case, in violation of Sanctions or in 

any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions by any party to this Agreement or (E) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless (1) no Fronting Exposure exists as a result of the application of Section 2.18(c) or (2) such Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such Issuing Lender (in its sole discretion) with the Company or such Lender to eliminate such Issuing Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure.  An Issuing Lender shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (x) such Issuing Lender would have no obligation at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (y) the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit.  References herein to “issue” and derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include extensions or modifications of any outstanding Letters of Credit, unless the context otherwise requires.  As of the Effective Date, each of the Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute, for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, a Letter of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder. 
(c)Defaulting Lenders.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Article X shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.18.
Section 1.02.Procedure for Issuance and Disbursement of Letters of Credit.  
(a)The Company may from time to time request that any Issuing Lender issue, amend, renew or extend a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender at its Applicable Lending Office (with a copy to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s office) a Letter of Credit Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other Letter of Credit Documents and information as such Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent may request, not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two (2) Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender may agree in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, as the case may be.  Such notice shall specify (i) the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 10.01(b)), (iii) the amount and Currency of such Letter of Credit, (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, (v) the purpose and nature of such Letter of Credit and (vi) such other information as shall be necessary to issue, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit.  Upon receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable Issuing Lender shall process such Letter of Credit Application and the certificates, documents and other Letter of Credit Documents and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall, subject to Section 10.01, promptly issue, amend, renew or extend the Letter of Credit requested thereby (subject to the timing requirements set forth in this Section 10.02) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by such Issuing Lender and the Company.  The applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Company and the Administrative Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit and the related Letter of Credit Documents and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the issuance and upon request by any Lender, furnish to such Lender a copy of such Letter of Credit and the amount of such Lender’s participation therein.
(b)The Issuing Lender for any Letter of Credit shall, within the time allowed by Applicable Laws or the specific terms of the Letter of Credit following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit.  Such Issuing Lender shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the Company in writing of such demand for payment if such Issuing Lender has or will honor such demand for payment thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants with respect to such payment.

Section 1.03.Commissions and Other Charges.  
(a)Letter of Credit Commissions.  Subject to Section 2.18, the Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants, a letter of credit commission with respect to each Letter of Credit beginning on the Effective Date in the amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such standby Letters of Credit times the Applicable Margin with respect to Advances that are RFR Advances (determined, in each case, on a per annum basis).  Such commission shall be payable in US Dollars quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter (commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit), on the Termination Date and thereafter on demand of the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute to the applicable Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants all commissions received pursuant to this Section 10.03 in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages.
(b)Issuance Fee.  In addition to the foregoing commission, the Company shall pay directly to the applicable Issuing Lender, for its own account, an issuance fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender in such amount or as otherwise agreed upon between such Issuing Lender and the Company.  Such issuance fee shall be payable in US Dollars quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Termination Date and thereafter on demand of the applicable Issuing Lender.  For the avoidance of doubt, such issuance fee shall be applicable to and paid upon each of the Existing Letters of Credit beginning on the Effective Date. 
(c)Other Fees, Costs, Charges and Expenses.  In addition to the foregoing fees and commissions, the Company shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender for such normal and customary fees, costs, charges and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit issued by it.  Such customary fees, costs, charges and expenses are due and payable in US Dollars on demand and are nonrefundable.
Section 1.04.L/C Participations.  
(a)Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce each Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from each Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage in each Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder.  Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Company through an Advance or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender in the Currency of such Letter of Credit, upon demand at such Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed.
(b)Upon becoming aware of any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to any Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 10.04(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, issued by it, such Issuing Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of such unreimbursed amount and the Currency thereof and the Administrative Agent shall notify each L/C Participant (with a copy to the 

applicable Issuing Lender) of the amount, Currency and due date of such required payment and such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent (which, in turn shall pay such Issuing Lender) the amount specified on the applicable due date.  If any such amount is paid to such Issuing Lender after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent, which in turn shall pay such Issuing Lender, in the applicable Currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated, on demand, in addition to such amount, the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the applicable Overnight Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent during the period from and including the date such payment is due to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Issuing Lender in connection with the foregoing.  A certificate of such Issuing Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  With respect to payment to such Issuing Lender of the unreimbursed amounts described in this Section, if the L/C Participants receive notice that any such payment is due (A) prior to 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due that Business Day, and (B) after 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following Business Day.
(c)Whenever, at any time after any Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and has received from any L/C Participant its Commitment Percentage of such payment in accordance with this Section, such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Administrative Agent or otherwise), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn pay to such Issuing Lender, the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it.
(d)Each L/C Participant’s obligation to make the Advances and to purchase participating interests pursuant to this Section 10.04 or Section 10.05, as applicable, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender or the Company may have against the Issuing Lender, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 3.02, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Company, any other Credit Party or any other Lender or (v) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Foreign Currency to any L/C Participant or in the relevant currency markets generally or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
Section 1.05.Reimbursement.  In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the Company agrees to reimburse (either with the proceeds of an Advance as provided for in this Section or with funds from other sources), in same day funds, in the Currency of such Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender by paying to the Administrative Agent the amount of such drawing not later than 12:00 noon on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Company receives such notice for the amount of (x) such draft so paid and (y) any amounts referred to in Section 10.03(c) incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment.   Unless the Company shall notify the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender that the Company intends to reimburse such Issuing Lender for such drawing from other sources or funds, the Company shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent requesting that the Lenders make an Advance as a Base Rate Advance in US Dollars on the applicable repayment date in the amount (which, in the case of an amount denominated in a Foreign Currency, shall be the US Dollar Equivalent thereof)(without regard to 

the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02(a)) of (i) such draft so paid and (ii) any amounts referred to in Section 10.03(c) incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment (including any and all costs, fees and other expenses incurred by the applicable Issuing Lender in effecting the payment of any Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency), and the Lenders shall make an Advance as a Base Rate Advance in such amount, the proceeds of which shall be applied to reimburse such Issuing Lender for the amount of the related drawing and such fees and expenses.  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to fund an Advance in accordance with this Section to reimburse such Issuing Lender for any draft paid under a Letter of Credit issued by it is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.02(a).  If the Company has elected to pay the amount of such drawing with funds from other sources and shall fail to reimburse such Issuing Lender in the applicable Currency as provided above, or if the amount of such drawing is not fully refunded through a Base Rate Advance as provided above, the unreimbursed amount of such drawing shall bear interest at the rate which would be payable on any outstanding Base Rate Advances which were then overdue from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until paid in full. The Company shall, upon demand from any Issuing Lender or L/C Participant, pay to such Issuing Lender or L/C Participant, the amount of (i) any loss or cost or increased cost incurred by such Issuing Lender or L/C Participant, (ii) any reduction in any amount payable to or in the effective return on the capital to such Issuing Lender or L/C Participant and (iii) any currency exchange loss, in each case that such Issuing Lender or L/C Participant sustains as a result of the Company’s repayment in US Dollars of any Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency. A certificate of such Issuing Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such additional amounts or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.
Section 1.06.Obligations Absolute.  
(a)The Company’s obligations under this Article X (including the Reimbursement Obligation) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances whatsoever, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and irrespective of:
(i)any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, any Letter of Credit Document or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein or herein;
(ii)the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Company may have or have had against the applicable Issuing Lender or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the applicable Issuing Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; 
(iii)the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent, forged or insufficient in any respect or any statement in such draft or other document being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit; 
(iv)any payment by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(v)any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Foreign Currency to the Company or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally;
(vi)any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement in such draft or other document being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or
(vii)any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Company’s obligations hereunder.
(b)The Company also agrees that the applicable Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants shall not be responsible for, and the Company’s Reimbursement Obligation under Section 10.05 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Company and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Company against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee.  The applicable Issuing Lender, the L/C Participants and their respective Related Parties shall not have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit, or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Lender from liability to the Company to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Company to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) suffered by the Company that are caused by such Issuing Lender’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.  
(c)In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that (i) with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (ii) an Issuing Lender may act upon any instruction or request relative to a Letter of Credit or requested Letter of Credit that such Issuing Lender in good faith believes to have been given by a Person authorized to give such instruction or request and (iii) an  Issuing Lender may replace a purportedly lost, stolen, or destroyed original Letter of Credit or missing amendment thereto with a certified true copy marked as such or waive a requirement for its presentation.  The responsibility of any Issuing Lender to the Company in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in 

connection with such presentment substantially conforms to the requirements under such Letter of Credit.
(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Issuing Lender shall be responsible to the Company for, and such Issuing Lender’s rights and remedies against the Company shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of such Issuing Lender  required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Applicable Laws or any order of a jurisdiction in which such Issuing Lender or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements or official commentary of the International Chamber of Commerce Banking Commission, the Banker’s Association for Finance and Trade (BAFT) or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such laws or practice rules.
Section 1.07.Effect of Letter of Credit Documents.  To the extent that any provision of any Letter of Credit Document related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Article X, the provisions of this Article X shall apply.
Section 1.08.Removal and Resignation of Issuing Lenders.  
(a)The Company may at any time remove any Lender from its role as an Issuing Lender hereunder upon not less than thirty (30) days prior notice to such Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to such Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent).
(b)Any Issuing Lender may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Company.  After the resignation of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the retiring Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to extend, renew or increase the outstanding Letter of Credit. 
(c)Any removed or resigning Issuing Lender shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuing Lender hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it that are outstanding as of the effective date of its removal or resignation as an Issuing Lender and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to take such actions as are required under Section 10.04).  Without limiting the foregoing, upon the removal or resignation of a Lender as an Issuing Lender hereunder, the Company may arrange for one or more of the other Issuing Lenders to issue Letters of Credit in the applicable Currency  hereunder in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, issued by such removed or resigned Issuing Lender and outstanding at the time of such removal or resignation, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the removed or resigned Issuing Lender to effectively cause another Issuing Lender to assume the obligations of the removed or resigned Issuing Lender with respect to any such Letters of Credit. 
Section 1.09.Reporting of Letter of Credit Information and L/C Commitment.  At any time that there is an Issuing Lender that is not also the financial institution acting as Administrative Agent, then (a) no later than the fifth Business Day following the last day of each calendar month, (b) on each date that a Letter of Credit is amended or terminated, by such Issuing Lender, or otherwise expires, (c) on each date that a Letter of Credit is issued or the expiry date of a Letter of Credit is extended by such Issuing Lender, and (d) upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender (or, in the case of clauses (b), (c) or (d) of this Section, the applicable Issuing Lender) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a report setting 

forth in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent information (including any reimbursement, Cash Collateral, or termination in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender) with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender that is outstanding hereunder.  In addition, each Issuing Lender shall provide notice to the Administrative Agent of its L/C Commitment, or any change thereto, promptly upon it becoming an Issuing Lender or making any change to its L/C Commitment.  No failure on the part of any Issuing Lender to provide such information pursuant to this Section 10.09 shall limit the obligations of the Company or any Lender hereunder with respect to its reimbursement and participation obligations hereunder.
Section 1.10.Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, or states that a Subsidiary is the “account party,” “applicant,” “customer,” “instructing party,” or the like of or for such Letter of Credit, and without derogating from any rights of the applicable Issuing Lender (whether arising by contract, at law, in equity or otherwise) against such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit, the Company (a) shall be obligated to reimburse, or to cause the applicable Subsidiary to reimburse, the applicable Issuing Lender hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit as if such Letter of Credit had been issued solely for the account of the Company and (b) irrevocably waives any and all defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of any or all of the obligations of such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit.  The Company hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any of its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Company and that the Company’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.
Section 1.11.Letter of Credit Amounts.  Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to mean the maximum face amount, or the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum face amount, if applicable, of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all increases thereof contemplated by such Letter of Credit or the Letter of Credit Documents therefor (at the time specified therefor in such applicable Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Documents and as such amount may be reduced by (a) any permanent reduction of such Letter of Credit or (b) any amount which is drawn, reimbursed and no longer available under such Letter of Credit).
Section 1.12.Cash Collateral for Extended Letters of Credit. 
(a)Cash Collateralization.  The Company shall provide Cash Collateral to each applicable Issuing Lender with respect to each Extended Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of 103% of the maximum face amount of each Extended Letter of Credit) by a date that is no later than 45 days prior to the Termination Date by depositing such amount in immediately available funds, in US Dollars, into a cash collateral account maintained at the applicable Issuing Lender and shall enter into a cash collateral agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Lender and such other documentation as such Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request; provided that if the Company fails to provide Cash Collateral with respect to any such Extended Letter of Credit by such time, such event shall be treated as a drawing under such Extended Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of 103% of the maximum face amount of each such Letter of Credit, which shall be reimbursed (or participations therein funded) in accordance with this Article X, with the proceeds of Advances (or funded participations) being utilized to provide Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit (provided that for purposes of determining the usage of the Commitment any such Extended Letter of Credit that has been, or will concurrently be, Cash Collateralized with proceeds of an Advance, the portion of such Extended Letter of Credit that has been (or will concurrently be) so Cash Collateralized will not be deemed to be utilization of the Commitment).

(b)Grant of Security Interest.  The Company, and to the extent provided by the L/C Participants, each of such L/C Participants, hereby grants to the applicable Issuing Lender of each Extended Letter of Credit, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in, all Cash Collateral required to be provided by this Section 10.12 as security for such Issuing Lender’s obligation to fund draws under such Extended Letters of Credit, to be applied pursuant to subsection (c) below.  If at any time the applicable Issuing Lender determines that the Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than such Issuing Lender as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the amount required pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Company will, promptly upon demand by such Issuing Lender, pay or provide to such Issuing Lender additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.
(c)Application.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 10.12 in respect of Extended Letters of Credit shall be applied to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for all drawings made under such Extended Letters of Credit and any and all fees, expenses and charges incurred in connection therewith, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
(d)Cash Collateralized Letters of Credit.  Subject to clause (e) below, if the Company has fully Cash Collateralized the applicable Issuing Lender with respect to any Extended Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender in accordance with subsections (a) through (c) above and the Company and the applicable Issuing Lender have made arrangements between them with respect to the pricing and fees associated therewith (each such Extended Letter of Credit, a “Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit”), then after the date of notice to the Administrative Agent thereof by the applicable Issuing Lender and for so long as such Cash Collateral remains in place (i) such Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit” hereunder, (ii) such Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit shall not constitute utilization of the Commitment, (iii) no Lender shall have any further obligation to fund participations or Advances to reimburse any drawing under any such Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit, (iv) no Letter of Credit commissions under Section 10.03(a) shall be due or payable to the Lenders, or any of them, hereunder with respect to such Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit, and (v) any fronting fee, issuance fee or other fee with respect to such Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit shall be as agreed separately between the Company and such Issuing Lender.
(e)Reinstatement.  The Company and each Lender agree that, if any payment or deposit made by the Company or any other Person applied to the Cash Collateral required under this Section 10.12 is at any time avoided, annulled, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or is repaid in whole or in part pursuant to a good faith settlement of a pending or threatened avoidance claim, or the proceeds of any such Cash Collateral are required to be refunded by the applicable Issuing Lender to the Company or any Lender or its respective estate, trustee, receiver or any other Person, under any Applicable Law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, (i) the applicable Extended Letter of Credit shall automatically be a “Letter of Credit” hereunder in a face amount equal to such payment or repayment (each such Letter of Credit, a “Reinstated Letter of Credit”), (ii) such Reinstated Letter of Credit shall no longer be deemed to be Cash Collateralized hereunder and shall constitute a utilization of the Commitment, (iii) each Lender shall be obligated to fund participations or Advances to reimburse any drawing under such Reinstated Letter of Credit, (iv) Letter of Credit commissions under Section 10.03(a) shall accrue and be due and payable to the Lenders with respect to such Reinstated Letter of Credit and (v) the Company’s and each Lender’s liability hereunder (and any Guarantee, Lien or Collateral guaranteeing or securing such liability) shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment or deposit had never been made, and, if prior thereto, this Agreement shall have been canceled, terminated, paid in full or otherwise extinguished (and if any 

Guarantee, Lien or Collateral guaranteeing or securing such Company’s or such Lender’s) liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of such cancellation, termination, payment or extinguishment), the provisions of this Article X and all other rights and duties of the applicable Issuing Lender, the L/C Participants and the Credit Parties with respect to such Reinstated Letter of Credit (and any Guarantee, Lien or Collateral guaranteeing or securing such liability) shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior cancellation, termination, payment or extinguishment shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of such Persons in respect of such Reinstated Letter of Credit (and any Guarantee, Lien or Collateral guaranteeing or securing such obligation).
(f)Survival.  With respect to any Extended Letter of Credit, each party’s obligations under this Article X and all other rights and duties of the applicable Issuing Lender of such Extended Letter of Credit, the L/C Participants and the Credit Parties with respect to such Extended Letter of Credit shall survive the resignation or replacement of the applicable Issuing Lender or any assignment of rights by the applicable Issuing Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of the Obligations.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, as of the date first above written.
