Each Lender at its option may make any SOFR Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c)Notes. Any Lender may request that the Loans made by it be evidenced by a single promissory note of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit A, dated, in the case of (i) any Lender party hereto as of the date of this Agreement, as of the date of this Agreement or (ii) any Lender that becomes a party hereto pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption, as of the effective date of the Assignment and Assumption, in each case, payable to such Lender or its registered assigns in a principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of its Loans as in effect on such date, and otherwise duly completed. In the event that the aggregate principal amount of any Lender’s Loans increases or decreases for any reason (whether pursuant to Section 2.01, Section 13.04(b) or otherwise), upon the request of such Lender, the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered on the effective date of such increase or decrease, a new Note payable to such Lender or its registered assigns in a principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of its Loans after giving effect to such increase or decrease, and otherwise duly completed. Borrower’s obligation to deliver a Note evidencing Loans for which the Borrower has previously delivered a Note shall be subject to Borrower’s receipt of such previously-delivered Note or satisfactory indemnity therefor in Borrower’s discretion. The replaced Note shall be deemed cancelled upon delivery from the Borrower to the Lender of such new Note. The date, amount, Type, interest rate and, if applicable, Interest Period of each Loan made by each Lender, and all payments made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender on its books for its Note, and, prior to any transfer, may be recorded by such Lender on a schedule attached to such Note or any continuation thereof or on any separate record maintained by such Lender. Failure to make any such notation or to attach a schedule shall not affect any Lender’s or the Borrower’s rights or obligations in respect of such Loans or affect the validity of such transfer by any Lender of its Note.

Section 2.03 Requests for Borrowings. (a) To request a Borrowing of Loans on the Closing Date, the Borrower shall give irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent of such request in writing by facsimile or e-mail to the Administrative Agent by delivering a written Borrowing Request signed by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, at least one (1)

Business Day in advance of the Closing Date, requesting that the Lenders make the Loans on the Closing Date and specifying:

(i)the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

(ii)the proposed Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii)whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing; and

(iv)the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.05(a).

Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03(a), the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

(b) In respect of Section 2.03(a)(iv), the Borrower hereby designates that on the Closing Date (i) proceeds of Loans in an amount equal to the Interest Escrow Required Amount will be deposited in the Interest Escrow Account and (ii) all other proceeds of the Loans will be applied in accordance with the Funds Flow Memorandum.

Section 2.04 Interest Elections.

(a)Conversion and Continuance. Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the Borrowing Request delivered pursuant to Section 2.03 and, in the case of a SOFR Borrowing, shall have an Interest Period as contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing as provided in this Section 2.04. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. Each conversion to or continuance of SOFR Borrowing shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each conversion to an ABR Borrowing shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.

(b)Interest Election Requests. To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.04, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election in writing by (i) in the case of continuation of or conversion to a SOFR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the last day of the current Interest Period or date of conversion, or (ii) in the case of conversion to an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one (1) Business Day before the date of conversion. Each such written Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and delivered by facsimile or e-mail to the Administrative Agent and be substantially in the form of Exhibit C and signed by the Borrower.

(c)Information in Interest Election Requests. Each written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i)the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(iii) shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii)the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; and

(iii)whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing.

(d)Notice to Lenders by the Administrative Agent. Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e)Effect of Failure to Deliver Timely Interest Election Request and Events of Default on Interest Election. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a SOFR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (which, for the avoidance of doubt shall be three (3) Business Days prior to the end of the Interest Period), then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing: (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a SOFR Borrowing (and any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a SOFR Borrowing shall be ineffective) and (ii) unless repaid, each SOFR Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.05 Funding of Borrowings.

(a)Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed Borrowing Date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. Upon receipt of all requested Loan funds, the Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly wire-transferring the amounts so received, in like funds, to the accounts designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request in accordance with Section 2.03. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for its Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for its Loan in any particular place or manner.

(b)Presumption of Funding by the Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.05(a) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.06 Incremental Loan. The Borrower may request an additional Commitment for the making of one additional Loan under this Agreement following the Closing Date upon not less than 10 Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (or such lesser period of time permitted by the

Administrative Agent), so long as (a) the requested additional Commitment is not more than $14,893,617.00, (b) the Insurance Policy limit has increased by at least such requested Commitment amount (less any agreed retention) and is offered on the same terms as the Loans made on the Closing Date, except as otherwise agreed by the Lenders, (c) the Borrower does not permit Liquidity to be less than the Interest Escrow Required Amount, calculated on a pro forma basis immediately after giving effect to each of (i) the establishment of such additional Commitment and (ii) the incurrence of such additional Loan (using Liquidity calculated as of the date of such establishment and/or incurrence (as applicable) and immediately after giving effect thereto, and the Interest Escrow Required Amount equal to the aggregate amount of the four (4) immediately following interest payments owed on the Loans) and (d) unless otherwise agreed by the Lenders, the Borrower shall use the proceeds of any such additional Loans solely for general corporate purposes. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the requested additional Commitment and, within ten (10) Business Days thereafter (or such other period agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower), each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent if and to what extent such Lender agrees to provide such additional Commitment. Any Lender not accepting in writing within such period shall be deemed to have declined to provide the requested additional Commitment. The Administrative Agent and the Borrower may allocate, in their discretion, any additional Commitments among committing existing Lenders. Any additional Commitment established pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be established at the requested amount (or such lesser amount committed by existing Lenders and agreed by the Borrower) on the date requested by the Borrower and agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders providing such incremental Commitment, provided the conditions set forth in Section 7.01 are satisfied at such time. The Administrative Agent, the Borrower, and the existing Lenders shall execute and deliver such documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent deems appropriate to evidence the establishment of any additional Commitments and the making of any additional Loans, in each case, pursuant to this Section 2.06. Any incremental Commitment and Loan made pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall have the same interest rate, maturity date and other terms as the Loans made on the Closing Date.

ARTICLE III
PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST; PREPAYMENTS; FEES

Section 3.01 Repayment of Loans. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the unpaid principal amount of each Loan on the Maturity Date.

Section 3.02 Interest.

(a)ABR Loans. The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate.

(b)SOFR Loans. The Loans comprising each SOFR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted Term SOFR for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin, but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate.

(c)Post-Default Rate.

(i)Secured Obligations. The Secured Obligations shall automatically bear interest, after as well as before judgment, from the date of occurrence of any Event of Default set forth in Sections 11.01(a), 11.01(g), or 11.01(h) or, in the case of any other Event of Default, from the date the Administrative Agent provides written notice to Borrower of the occurrence of such Event of Default, in each case, of until such Event of Default is no longer continuing at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of principal of any Loan, 2.0% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan or (ii) in the case of any other amounts, the sum of the rate of interest applicable under to ABR Loans plus an additional 2.0% per annum on such amount, but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate (with such interest to be retroactive to the date of such Event of Default) (the “Default Rate”).

(ii)Acknowledgment. The Borrower acknowledges that the increase in rates referred to in this Section 3.02(c) reflects, among other things, the fact that such Loans or other

amounts have become a substantially greater risk given their default status and that the Lenders are entitled to additional compensation for such risk; and all such interest shall be payable by the Borrower upon demand by the Majority Lenders or by the Administrative Agent at the written direction of the Majority Lenders.

(d)Interest Payment Dates. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) and shall be paid in cash; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 3.02(c) shall be payable on demand in cash, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (including on the Maturity Date, upon acceleration or otherwise), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment in cash, (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any Event of Default has occurred that is continuing, on each Interest Payment Date during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower hereby directs and authorizes the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent hereby agrees, to disburse the applicable amount of interest payable on such Interest Payment Date from the Interest Escrow Account to each Lender holding Loans on such date, and upon such disbursement from the Interest Escrow Account to the Lenders, the Borrower shall be deemed to have made the interest payment due on such Interest Payment Date (it being understood and agreed that to the extent the funds in the Interest Escrow Account are not sufficient to pay the full amount of the interest then due, the Borrower agrees to pay the Administrative Agent (for the account of each Lender) any such deficient amount in cash on the applicable Interest Payment Date) and (iv) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to the first four (4) interest payments due following the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, on each applicable Interest Payment Date, the Borrower hereby directs and authorizes the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent hereby agrees, to disburse the applicable amount of interest payable on such Interest Payment Date from the Interest Escrow Account to each Lender holding Loans on such date, and upon such disbursement from the Interest Escrow Account to the Lenders, the Borrower shall be deemed to have made the interest payment due on such Interest Payment Date (it being understood and agreed that to the extent the funds in the Interest Escrow Account are not sufficient to pay the full amount of the interest then due, the Borrower agrees to pay the Administrative Agent (for the account of each Lender) any such deficient amount in cash on the applicable Interest Payment Date). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Interest Escrow Account and all funds, investments or other property therein and all proceeds and earnings thereon (collectively, the “Interest Escrow Account Funds”) shall be subject to the exclusive dominion and control of the Collateral Agent; provided that immediately after Payment in Full the Collateral Agent shall return any funds, investments or other property in the Interest Escrow Account to the Borrower. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall directly or indirectly seek to obtain (whether by informal or formal process) control over the Interest Escrow Account or the Interest Escrow Account Funds at any time prior to Payment in Full. The Borrower further agrees that it and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates will support the Agents and the Lenders in any proceeding, action or similar dispute regarding the fact that no party, other than the Collateral Agent, has control over the Interest Escrow Account or the Interest Escrow Account Funds. The Collateral Agent and the Borrower have not entered and will not enter into any other agreement with respect to control of the Interest Escrow Account, except for a Control Agreement to the extent contemplated by the definition of Interest Escrow Account.

(e)Interest Rate Computations. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, unless such computation would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, in which case interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and be binding upon the parties hereto.

Section 3.03 Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a)Benchmark Replacement.

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

(b)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.

(c)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) 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 Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 3.03(d) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.03, 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 3.03.

(d)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), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or 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 or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, 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, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks 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.

(e)Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a SOFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Alternate Base Rate.

(f)Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts in reasonable detail), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid or payable by such Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its SOFR Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of any SOFR Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Borrowing Request or a telephonic request for borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation of any SOFR Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a notice of conversion or continuation or a telephonic request for conversion or continuation; (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its SOFR Loans occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan; or (iii) if any prepayment of any of its SOFR Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower.

(g)Booking of SOFR Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer SOFR Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender.

(h)Assumptions Concerning Funding of SOFR Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 3.03 and under Section 5.01 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded each of its relevant SOFR Loans through the purchase of a SOFR deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the definition of “Adjusted Term SOFR” in an amount equal to the amount of such SOFR Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such SOFR deposit from an offshore office of such Lender to a domestic office of such Lender in the United States of America; provided, however, each Lender may fund each of its SOFR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 3.03 and under Section 5.01.

Section 3.04 Prepayments.

(a)Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part in an amount of not less than $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount or, if less, the entire outstanding principal amount of the Borrowings, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 3.04(b). Prepayments pursuant to this Section 3.04(a) shall, in each case, be accompanied by the payment of the Call Premium (if applicable) and all accrued interest on the amount prepaid together with any additional payments to the extent required by Sections 5.01, 5.02 or 5.03.

(b)Notice and Terms of Optional Prepayment. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing by facsimile or other electronic transmission of any prepayment under Section 3.04(a) not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment (or such shorter time period as to which the Administrative Agent shall agree). Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall in the case of a prepayment specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of the proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or the occurrence of some other identifiable event or condition, such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied (it being understood that the requirements of Section 5.02 shall apply to any failure of such condition to occur and any such revocation). Promptly

following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.

(c)Mandatory Prepayments.

(i)Dispositions and Casualty Events. If any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries receives Net Cash Proceeds in respect of (A) any Dispositions of Collateral pursuant to Section 10.10(e) in excess of $1,500,000 in the aggregate in any calendar year or any Disposition not permitted under this Agreement or (B) any Casualty Event with respect to Collateral, then, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower shall prepay the principal amount of the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with Section 3.04(c)(vi); provided that, the Borrower shall immediately deposit or cause to be deposited such Net Cash Proceeds into a Deposit Account subject to a Control Agreement until application in accordance herewith; and provided, further, that, in the case of any Casualty Event in respect of Collateral, upon written notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent not more than five (5) Business Days following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds from such Disposition or Casualty Event, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be excluded from the prepayment requirements of this Section 3.04(c)(i) if (x) the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate to the effect that the Borrower intends to apply the Net Cash Proceeds from such Disposition or Casualty Event (or a portion thereof specified in such notice) to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds in the business of the Loan Parties and/or restore or replace any Collateral affected by such Casualty Event, within 365 days after receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (any such event, a “Reinvestment”), and certifying therein that (1) no Event of Default exists prior to giving such notice and prior to or after giving effect to such Reinvestment and (2) before and after giving effect to such Reinvestment, the Borrower shall be in pro forma compliance with the Financial Covenant and setting forth reasonably detailed calculations demonstrating such pro forma compliance, and (y) within 365 days from the date of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, such Net Cash Proceeds are applied to such Reinvestment; provided, further, however, that the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds (i) that the Borrower or the applicable Loan Party or Subsidiary of any Loan Party shall have determined not to, or shall have otherwise ceased to, or is not able to, by operation of contract or law or otherwise (including not being able to make the certifications required pursuant to this clause (i) above), apply toward a Reinvestment or (ii) that have not been so applied toward a Reinvestment by the end of such 365-day period, in each case shall be applied to a mandatory prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 3.04(c)(i).

(ii)Extraordinary Net Cash Receipts. Promptly (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days) following the receipt of Extraordinary Net Cash Receipts in an amount (individually or in the aggregate for any particular event) in excess of $1,000,000 by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the Borrower shall use, or shall cause to be used, 100% of such Extraordinary Net Cash Receipts to prepay the Loans in accordance with Section 3.04(c)(vi).

(iii)Indebtedness. Immediately upon the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of the issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness permitted to be issued pursuant to Section 10.02), such Loan Party shall apply such Net Cash Proceeds received from such issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness upon receipt thereof to prepay the Loans in accordance with Section 3.04(c)(vi).

(iv)Issuance of Equity Interests. To the extent the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries receives any Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any issuance or sale by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of its Equity Interests to any Person after the Closing Date other than (A) up to $300,000,000 of Net Cash Proceeds received pursuant to the Borrower’s Form S-3 Registration Statement (as amended) (including, without limitation, (x) the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement with affiliates of Yorkville Advisors, dated April 28, 2022 and (y) any sales of Equity Interests pursuant to an at-the-market offering) and (B) pursuant to any Permitted Convertible Debt, the Borrower shall use, or shall cause to be used, 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds to prepay the Loans in accordance with Section 3.04(c)(vi).

(v)Change in Control. Upon a Change in Control, the Borrower shall prepay all outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 3.04(c)(vi).

(vi)Each prepayment of Borrowings pursuant to this Section 3.04(c) shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowings. Prepayments pursuant to this Section 3.04(c) shall, in each case, be accompanied by the payment of the Call Premium and all accrued interest on the amount prepaid together with any additional payments to the extent required by Sections 5.01, 5.02 or 5.03. The Borrower shall provide written notice to the Administrative Agent prior to each prepayment required under this Section 3.04(c), and such notice shall (x) include a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (y) if such prepayment results from a voluntary event, be delivered at least one (1) Business Day prior to such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid.

(d)Call Premium. Prepayments permitted or required under this Section 3.04 (including optional prepayments described in Section 3.04(a) and mandatory prepayments described in Section 3.04(c) hereof) and, for avoidance of doubt, any prepayments of the Loans occurring after acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 11.02 and any other prepayments of the Loans (which payments, for the purpose of calculating the Call Premium, shall be deemed to have been made (i) on the date of acceleration, if earlier than the date of payment and (ii) on the amount of Loans outstanding on the date of acceleration, if more than the amount paid on the date of payment), shall be subject to payment of the applicable Call Premium and any amounts required to be paid pursuant to Sections 5.01, 5.02 or 5.03.

Section 3.05 Administrative Agent and Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and Lenders, in each case for its own account, the fees payable in the amounts and at the times (including the fees payable on the Closing Date) separately agreed upon in the Fee Letter.

ARTICLE IV
PAYMENTS; PRO RATA TREATMENT; SHARING OF SET-OFFS

Section 4.01 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a)Payments by the Borrower. The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without defense, deduction, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Fees, once paid, shall be fully earned and shall not be refundable under any circumstances, absent manifest error. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices or accounts specified in Section 13.01 or such other offices or accounts as the Administrative Agent shall specify to the Borrower in writing from time to time, except that payments pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 and Section 13.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.

(b)Application of Insufficient Payments. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal and interest on the Loans shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans then held by the Lenders. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to

such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and premium then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

(c)Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall promptly remit such excess amount to the Administrative Agent for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders. If such Lender fails to promptly remit such excess amount to the Administrative Agent, then such Lender shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that if (i) any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 4.01(c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the 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 Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 4.01(c) shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 4.02 Presumption of Payment by the Borrower. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

Section 4.03 Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05, Section 4.02, Section 5.03(d) or Section 13.03(c) then the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

INCREASED COSTS; BREAK FUNDING PAYMENTS; TAXES; ILLEGALITY

Section 5.01 Increased Costs.

(a)Changes in Law. If any Change in Law shall:

(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirements, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any 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, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii)impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender that is not otherwise accounted for in the definition of “SOFR” or this clause (a);

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, continuing, converting or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such other Recipient (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)Certificates. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 5.01(a) or Section 5.01(b) shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d)Effect of Failure or Delay in Requesting Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation.

Section 5.02 Break Funding Payments. The Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to any of the following (a) the payment of any principal of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any SOFR Loan into an ABR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any SOFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.04. In the case of a SOFR Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted Term SOFR that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

Section 5.03 Taxes.

(a)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without

deduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided that if an applicable Withholding Agent shall be required under any applicable law (as determined in its good faith discretion) to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deductions or withholdings, shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.03), the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, Lender or other Recipient (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.

(b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without duplication of any amount paid pursuant to Section 5.03(a), each Loan Party shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c)Indemnification by the Borrower. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.03) and any and all reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Each Recipient agrees to promptly notify the Loan Parties of the imposition of any Indemnified Taxes; provided, however, that a Recipient’s failure to provide prompt notice to Loan Party shall not prejudice any of such Recipient’s rights in this Agreement (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and additional amounts that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Recipient or (ii) interest or penalties attributable to the failure or delay by such Recipient to make a written demand to the Loan Party within 180 days of becoming aware that such Taxes subject to indemnification under this Section 5.03(c) have been levied, imposed or asserted against it). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent (on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender), the Collateral Agent or a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.04(c)(ii) 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 5.03(d).

(e)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of any Taxes by the Borrower or a Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 5.03, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f)Withholding Certificates.

(i)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than the documentation set forth in Sections 5.03(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B), and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

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

B.each Foreign Lender shall, to the extent that it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the Closing Date (or, in the case of any Foreign Lender that is an assignee of a Lender, on the date such assignee becomes a party to this Agreement) and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, whichever of the following is applicable:

1.in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

2.executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

3.executed copies of IRS Form W-8EXP;

4.in the case of any Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “Withholding Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or

5.to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8 EXP, a Withholding Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a Withholding Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

D.if a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower and Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower and Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for the purposes of this Section 5.03(f)(ii)(D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

E.On or before the date the Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder, it shall deliver to the Loan Parties an executed IRS Form W-9 certifying that it is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax. The Administrative Agent agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered becomes expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification.

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

(g)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.03), 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 5.03 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 or credit). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (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 (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less

favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.03 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.

(i)Defined Terms. For purpose of this Section 5.03, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

Section 5.04 Mitigation Obligations; Designation of Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.01, or if any Loan Party is required to indemnify any Lender or pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.03, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans 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 5.01 or Section 5.03, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

Section 5.05 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its applicable lending office to honor its obligation to make or maintain SOFR Loans either generally or having a particular Interest Period hereunder, then (a) such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof and such Lender’s obligation to make such SOFR Loans shall be suspended (the “Affected Loans”) until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain such SOFR Loans and (b) all Affected Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender shall be made instead as ABR Loans (and, if such Lender so requests by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, all Affected Loans of such Lender then outstanding shall be automatically converted into ABR Loans on the date specified by such Lender in such notice) and, to the extent that Affected Loans are so made as (or converted into) ABR Loans, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Affected Loans shall be applied instead to its ABR Loans.

Section 5.06 Removal or Replacement of a Lender. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) (i) any Lender (an “Increased Cost Lender”) shall give notice to Borrower that such Lender is an affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 5.01, Section 5.03 or Section 5.04, (ii) the circumstances which have caused such Lender to be an affected Lender or which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after the Borrower's request for such withdrawal; or (b) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 13.02 that requires the consent of all Lenders, the consent of the Majority Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained, then, with respect to each such Increased Cost Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), the Administrative Agent may, by giving written notice to Borrower (which, in the case of an Increased Cost Lender, only after receiving written request from the Borrower to remove such Increased Cost Lender), or the Borrower may, by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent, and, in each case, any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans in full to one or more Persons (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.04 and the Terminated Lender shall pay any fees payable thereunder in connection with such assignment; provided,

that (1) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to Terminated Lender an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender; (2) on the date of such assignment, the Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 5.01 or Section 5.03; and (3) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a "Lender" for purposes hereof; provided, that any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender. Each party hereto agrees that (x) an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee, and (y) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to be bound by the terms thereof; provided, that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender; provided, that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.

(i) One or more judgments for the payment of money in an aggregate amount in excess of $5,000,000 or (ii) any one or more non-monetary judgments that have, or could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, shall be rendered against any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any combination thereof, in each case other than a judgment which is (x) discharged within sixty (60) days or (y) the execution of which is effectively stayed within sixty (60) days and no action is legally taken by a judgment creditor or judgment creditors to attach or levy upon any assets of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries to enforce any such judgment.

(j)Loan Document Unenforceable. The Loan Documents after delivery thereof shall for any reason, except to the extent permitted by the terms thereof, cease to be in full force and effect and valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their terms against any Loan Party party thereto or any other party thereto or shall be repudiated by any of them, or cease to create a valid and perfected Lien of the priority required thereby on any part of the Collateral purported to be covered thereby, except to the extent permitted by the terms of this Agreement, or a Loan Party shall so state in writing.

(k)Uninsured Losses; Proceedings Against Assets. There shall occur any uninsured damage to or loss, theft or destruction of any of the Collateral in excess of $2,500,000 (it being understood that the amount of deductibles payable in connection with such claim shall not be included in such threshold) or the Collateral or any other of the Loan Parties’ or any of their Subsidiaries’ assets in excess of $2,500,000 in the aggregate are attached, seized, levied upon or subjected to a writ or distress warrant; or such come within the possession of any receiver, trustee, custodian or assignee for the benefit of creditors and the same is not cured within 30 days thereafter.

(l)Loss of Intellectual Property. To the extent a Material Adverse Effect would reasonably be expected to result therefrom (as determined by the Collateral Agent in its reasonable judgment), any Governmental Authority or other Person shall (i) revoke, terminate, suspend or adversely modify any Intellectual Property that is the subject of the IP Escrow Agreement, (ii) commence proceedings to suspend, revoke, terminate or adversely modify any Intellectual Property that is the subject of the IP Escrow Agreement and such proceedings shall not be dismissed or discharged within sixty (60) days, or (iii) schedule or conduct a hearing on the renewal of any Intellectual Property that is the subject of the IP Escrow Agreement for the continuation of any Loan Party’s business and the staff of such Governmental Authority or other Person issues a report recommending the termination, revocation, suspension or material adverse modification of such Intellectual Property that is the subject of the IP Escrow Agreement.

(m)Cessation of Business. To the extent that a Material Adverse Effect could reasonably be expected to result therefrom (i) any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries is enjoined, restrained or in any way prevented by the order of any court or any Governmental Authority from conducting all or any material part of its business for more than thirty (30) consecutive days; or (ii) any other cessation for more than thirty (30) consecutive days of a substantial part of the business of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries engaged in material operations.

Section 11.02 Remedies.

(a)(A) In the case of an Event of Default other than one described in Section 11.01(g) or Section 11.01(h) (other than an Event of Default described in (B) below), at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Majority Lenders, shall, by notice to the Borrower, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, and (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable) and (B) in the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(c) with respect to breach of Section 9.17 that is not cured within 30 days from the occurrence thereof, (i) the Commitment shall be automatically and immediately terminated and (ii) the Loans then outstanding will automatically and immediately become due and payable in whole, and in each case of the foregoing (A) and (B), the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon, any Call Premium then applicable and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors accrued hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower and each Guarantor; and in case of an Event of Default described in Section 11.01(g) or Section 11.01(h), the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon, any Call Premium then applicable and all fees and the other obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors accrued hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower and each Guarantor.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that (x) if, prior to the Call Premium Expiration Date, the Loans are accelerated or otherwise become due, in each case, in respect of any Event of Default (including, but not limited to, upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency related event (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)) or (y) upon the occurrence of the board of directors (or similar governing body or any Person having Control of any Loan Party (or any committee thereof) or of any directors (or similar governing body or any Person having Control) of any Loan Party (or any committee thereof) adopting any resolution or otherwise authorizing any action to approve any bankruptcy or insolvency related event (each of the foregoing in clauses (x) and (y) and as contemplated by the penultimate sentence of this paragraph, a “Yield Maintenance Event”)), the Call Premium (if any) that would have applied if, at the time of the Loans are accelerated or otherwise become due, the Borrower had (i) repaid, prepaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced any or all of the Loans as contemplated in Sections 3.01 and/or 3.04 will also be automatically and immediately due and payable without further action or notice as though a Yield Maintenance Event had occurred and the Call Premium (if any) shall constitute part of the Secured Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of the Lenders’ lost profits and investment opportunity as a result thereof (and not as a penalty). Any Call Premium payable above shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages (and not for the avoidance of doubt unmatured interest or a penalty) sustained by the Lenders as the result of payment or acceleration, as applicable, prior to the Call Premium Expiration Date and the Borrower and Guarantors agree that the Call Premium is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. In the event the Secured Obligations are reinstated in connection with or following any Yield Maintenance Event, it is understood and agreed that the Secured Obligations shall include any Call Premium payable in accordance with the Loan Documents, including this Section 11.02. The Call Premium (if any) shall also be payable in the event the Secured Obligations (and/or this Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other similar means.

THE LOAN PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING CALL PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Borrower and each other Loan Party expressly agrees (to the fullest extent that it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Call Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably

represented by counsel; (B) the Call Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and the Borrower and Guarantors giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Call Premium; and (D) the Borrower and each Guarantor shall each be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. The Borrower and each Guarantor expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the Call Premium to the Lenders as herein described is a material inducement to the Lenders to provide the Commitments and make the Loans. In the case of any Event of Default occurring by reason of any willful action or inaction taken or not taken by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Guarantor with the intention of avoiding payment of the Call Premium that the Borrower would have had to pay if the Borrower then had elected to pay the Loans prior to the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 3.01 and/or Section 3.04, an equivalent premium, without duplication, will become and be immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the Loans.

(b)In the case of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders will have all other rights and remedies available at law and equity.

(c)All proceeds realized from the liquidation or other disposition of Collateral or otherwise, and any amounts received on account of the Secured Obligations, received after maturity of the Loans, whether by acceleration or otherwise, shall be applied as follows:

(i)first, to payment or reimbursement of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting fees, expenses and indemnities payable to the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent in such Agent’s capacity as such;

(ii)second, pro rata to payment or reimbursement of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting fees, expenses and indemnities payable to the Lenders;

(iii)third, pro rata to payment of accrued interest on the Loans;

(iv)fourth, pro rata to payment of principal and premium outstanding on the Loans;

(v)fifth, pro rata to all other Secured Obligations; and

(vi)sixth, any excess, after all of the Secured Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, shall be paid to the Borrower or as otherwise required by any Governmental Requirement.

ARTICLE XII
THE AGENTS

Section 12.01 Appointment; Powers.

(a)Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent 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 and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article (excluding Section 12.10) are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

(b)The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Collateral Agent as the agent with respect to the Collateral, and each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this

Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

Section 12.02 Duties and Obligations of Agents. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing (the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law; rather, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties), (b) no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except as provided in Section 12.03, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent or any of their Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and 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 under any other Loan Document 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 in any other Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article VII or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent or as to those conditions precedent expressly required to be to such Agent’s satisfaction, (vi) the existence, value, perfection or priority of any collateral security or the financial or other condition of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any other obligor or Guarantor, or (vii) any failure by the Borrower or any other Person (other than itself) to perform any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or the performance or observance of any covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Article VII, each Lender shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

Section 12.03 Action by Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall 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 such Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 13.02) and in all cases such Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under any other Loan Documents unless it shall (a) receive written instructions from the Majority Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable, (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 13.02) specifying the action to be taken and (b) be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expenses which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The instructions as aforesaid and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto by such Agent shall be binding on all of the Lenders. If a Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by the requisite Lenders in the written instructions (with indemnities) described in this Section 12.03; provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall have received such directions, such Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. In no event, however, shall any Agent be required to take any action which exposes such Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement, the Loan Documents or applicable law. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders or the

Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 13.02), and otherwise no Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith INCLUDING ITS OWN ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 12.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral 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 believed by them to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Loan Parties), independent accountants, consultants and other experts selected by any such Agent. The Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon and each of the Borrower and the Lenders hereby waives the right to dispute such Agent’s record of such statement, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct by such Agent. Upon request by an Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing whether an action may be taken by it (and such Agent may deem the failure to respond to any such request in a timely manner as approval). In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Agents may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by them, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by them in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof permitted hereunder shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent.

Section 12.05 Subagents. Either Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. The Agents and any such sub-agent may perform any and all their duties and exercise their rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding Sections of this Article XII shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of such Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent. Without limiting the foregoing, following the Closing Date, the Agents may from time to time appoint one or more Lenders (or any Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender) as its sub-agent for the limited purposes of (i) delivering any notices or other communications on behalf of such Agents hereunder and (ii) receiving copies of any notices or other communications that are delivered to the Agents hereunder.

Section 12.06 Resignation or Removal of Agents. Any Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Majority Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, remove any Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice in writing to such Agent and the Borrower. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Agent as provided below (or, if no successor has been appointed, on the 30th day after the relevant notice). Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after such notice of resignation or removal (the “Successor Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent. With effect from the Successor Effective Date (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as a successor Agent is appointed as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,

privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article XII and Section 13.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent.

Section 12.07 Administrative Agent as Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent 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 such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with Loan Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

Section 12.08 No Reliance. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender 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, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. No Agent shall be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower of this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to inspect the Properties or books of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by an Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrower (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into the possession of such Agent or any of their respective Affiliates. In this regard, each Lender acknowledges that ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ L.L.P. is acting in this transaction as special counsel to the Agents only, except to the extent otherwise expressly stated in any legal opinion or any Loan Document. Each other party hereto will consult with its own legal counsel to the extent that it deems necessary in connection with the Loan Documents and the matters contemplated therein. In structuring, arranging or syndicating this Agreement, each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent may be an agent or lender under other loans or other securities, and each Lender hereby waives any existing or future conflicts of interest associated with any of their roles in such other debt instruments.

Section 12.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Secured Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agents under Section 13.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Agents and, in the event that the Agents shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the

Agents any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agents under Section 13.03.

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

Section 12.10 Authority of Collateral Agent to Release Collateral and Liens. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to release any Collateral that is permitted to be sold or released pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver to the Borrower, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, any and all releases of Liens, termination statements, assignments or other documents reasonably requested by the Borrower in connection with any Disposition of Property to the extent such Disposition is permitted by the terms of Section 10.10 or is otherwise authorized by the terms of the Loan Documents.

Section 12.11 Acknowledgement of Lenders.

(a)Each Lender hereby agrees that (i) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this Section 12.12 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b)Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (i) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (ii) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(c)The Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that (i) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (ii) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Secured Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party.

(d)Each party’s obligations under this Section 12.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Secured Obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 12.12 Credit Bidding. The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Majority Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party or other Guarantor is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of Collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Secured Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Majority Lenders on a ratable basis (with Secured Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties' ratable interests in the Secured Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided, that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Majority Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Majority Lenders contained in Section 13.02 of this Agreement), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Secured Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership interests, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Secured Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Secured Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Secured Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Secured Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata with their original interest in such Secured Obligations and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Secured Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Secured Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the

formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

(b)Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II, Article III, Article IV and Article V unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender.

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

Section 13.02 Waivers; Amendments.

(a)No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right, power or privilege, under any of the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any of the Loan Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 13.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b)Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof nor any other Loan Document (other than the Fee Letter and as provided in Section 3.05) nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Majority Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Majority Lenders (with a copy of all amendments provided to the Administrative Agent); provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment or the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Loans of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, or reduce any other Secured Obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, provided that the Default Rate may be waived with the consent of the Majority Lenders, (iii) postpone the scheduled and fixed date of payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or any other Secured Obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone or extend the Maturity Date without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 4.01(b) or Section 4.01(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each directly and adversely Lender, (v) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors or release all or substantially all of the

Collateral (other than as provided in Section 12.10), without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) modify the terms of Section 11.02(c) without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, or (vii) change any of the provisions of this Section 13.02(b) or the definition of “Majority Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or under any other Loan Documents, without the written consent of each directly and adversely affected Lender; provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of such Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) any Security Document may be supplemented to add additional Collateral or join additional Persons as Guarantors with the consent of the Collateral Agent, (b) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may amend this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the consent of the Lenders in order to (i) correct, amend or cure any ambiguity, inconsistency or defect or correct any typographical error, omission or other manifest error in any Loan Document, or (ii) make administrative or operational changes or enhancements not adverse to the Lenders, and (c) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (or other applicable Loan Party) may enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or enter into any agreement or instrument to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any Lien in any Collateral or Property to become Collateral to secure the Indebtedness for the benefit of the Lenders or as required by any Governmental Requirement to give effect to, protect or otherwise enhance the rights or benefits of any Lender under the Loan Documents without the consent of any Lender.

Section 13.03 Expenses, Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a)The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents and their Affiliates, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel (limited to one outside counsel, other than (x) solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel to all affected parties, taken as a whole and (y) if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction of such Persons, taken as a whole) for the Agents, in connection with the Facility provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration (both before and after the execution hereof and including advice of counsel (limited to one outside counsel, other than (x) solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel to all affected parties, taken as a whole and (y) if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction of such Persons, taken as a whole) to the Agents as to the rights and duties of the Agents and the Lenders with respect thereto) of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or waivers of or consents related to the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the Transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all costs, expenses, assessments and other similar charges incurred by the Agents or any Lender in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated by this Agreement or any Security Document or any other document referred to therein and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel or other consultants for the Agents or any Lender (limited to one outside counsel, other than (x) solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel to all affected parties, taken as a whole and (y) if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction of such Persons, taken as a whole) to the Agents and Lenders as to the rights and duties of the Agents and the Lenders with respect thereto, in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including their rights under this Section 13.03, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 13.03(a) shall not apply with respect to any costs or expenses that are Taxes, as the indemnity and payment of Tax claims are governed exclusively by Section 5.03.

(b)The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any sub-agent of the Agents, and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and defend and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee (limited to one outside counsel, other than (x) solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel to all affected parties, taken as a whole and (y) if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in each relevant

jurisdiction of such Persons, taken as a whole), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto or the parties to any other Loan Document of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document or any action taken in connection with this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the payment of principal, interest and fees, (ii) the failure of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary to comply with the terms of any Loan Document, including this Agreement, or with any Governmental Requirement, (iii) any inaccuracy of any representation or any breach of any warranty or covenant of the Borrower or any Guarantor or any other Loan Party set forth in any of the Loan Documents or any instruments, documents or certifications delivered in connection therewith, (iv) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (v) the operations of the business of the Loan Parties or the Subsidiaries by such Loan Parties and Subsidiaries, (vi) any assertion that the Lenders were not entitled to receive the proceeds received pursuant to the Security Documents, (vii) any Environmental Law applicable to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary in respect of their Properties, including the presence, generation, storage, Release, Threatened Release, use, transport, disposal, arrangement of disposal or treatment of Hazardous Materials on any of their Properties, (viii) the breach or non-compliance by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof with any Environmental Law applicable to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof in respect of their Properties, (ix) the past ownership by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or any of their Properties or past activity on any of their Properties which, though lawful and fully permissible at the time, has resulted in present liability, (x) the presence, use, Release, storage, treatment, disposal, generation, Threatened Release, transport, arrangement for transport or arrangement for disposal of Hazardous Materials on or at any of the Properties owned or operated by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any Property owned or operated by the Borrower, (xi) any liability arising under Environmental Laws related in any way to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary in respect of their Properties, or (xii) any other environmental, health or safety condition in connection with the Loan Documents, or (xiii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or a Loan Party and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, and such indemnity shall extend to each Indemnitee notwithstanding the sole or concurrent negligence of every kind or character whatsoever, whether active or passive, whether an affirmative act or an omission, including all types of negligent conduct identified in the Restatement (Second) of Torts of one or more of the Indemnitees or by reason of strict liability imposed without fault on any one or more of the Indemnitees; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee; provided, further, this Section 13.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent fees, losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c)To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Agents under Section 13.03(a) or (b), but without affecting such payment obligations of the Borrower, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such.

(d)To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions or any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e)All amounts due under this Section 13.03 shall be payable not later than ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor.

Section 13.04 Assignments and Participations.

(a)The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 13.04 and (iii) no Lender may assign to the Borrower or an Affiliate of the Borrower all or any portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement or all or any portion of its Commitments or the Loans owing to it hereunder nor may the Borrower or an Affiliate of the Borrower make any offer to purchase any Commitments or Loans hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in Section 13.04(c)) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 13.04(b)(ii), any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Administrative Agent and, in the absence of an Event of Default, the Borrower; provided that (A) no consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to an assignee that is a Lender (or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender) immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment and (B) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment if it has failed to respond to a written request for such assignment within three (3) Business Days following the Borrower’s receipt of such request;

(ii)Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A)except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consent;

(B)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;

(C)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 (which fee shall not apply to an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund);

(D)the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and all documentation and other information with respect to the assignee that is required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act; and

(E)no such assignment shall be made to the Borrower, any Affiliate of the Borrower, or a natural person (or any holding company, investment vehicle, trust owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural person).

(iii)Subject to Section 13.04(b)(iv) and the acceptance and recording thereof, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be the date of

recordation in the Register) 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 Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 and Section 13.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.04(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 13.04(c).

(iv)The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, the Commitment of and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice or anything in any Loan Document to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice. In connection with any changes to the Register, if necessary, the Administrative Agent will reflect the revisions on Annex I and forward a copy of such revised Annex I to the Borrower and each Lender.

(c)Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and all documentation and other information with respect to the assignee that is required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 13.04(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 13.04(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless and until it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 13.04(b).

(i)Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (D) the provisions of Section 13.04(b)(iv) shall apply as if the Participant were a Lender and the sale of the participation was an assignment. 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 the first proviso to Section 13.02(b) that affects such Participant. In addition, such agreement must provide that the Participant be bound by the provisions of Section 13.03. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.01, Section 5.02 and Section 5.03 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 5.03(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.03(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.04(b); provided, a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.01, Section 5.02 and Section 5.03 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to

such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.01(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii)Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d)Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 13.04(d) shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e)If (i) the Administrative Agent receives payment of any portion of the amount due under the Insurance Policy in immediately available funds (the “Insurance Proceeds”) under the Insurance Policy and (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders receive a notice signed by the Insurers (an “Insurance Notice”) that (x) confirms the full amount due under the Insurance Policy, (y) instructs the Administrative Agent to proceed with the subrogation and assignment of all Obligations as provided in this Section 13.04(e), and (z) identifies each of the Insurers that have made such payment, the identity of such Insurers’ joint domestic U.S. organized designee (the Insurers or if formed such Insurers’ joint domestic U.S. organized designee (collectively, as applicable, the “Designee(s)”)) and such Insurers’ respective allocated contribution to such amount stated in dollars, then the parties hereto (including, without limitation, the Lenders) agree that the Designee(s) are automatically subrogated to and assigned the portion of Obligations based on the percentage of insurance payment actually made (e.g. if loss payment due is one hundred (100), and the Administrative Agent only received eighty (80), then the Designee(s) will be subrogated and assigned 80% of the Obligations) as of the date of receipt of the Insurance Notice. The Administrative Agent shall provide prompt notice by e-mail to the Lenders of its receipt of the Insurance Proceeds. In furtherance of such automatic subrogation and assignment, the Administrative Agent shall without requirement for any assignment, notice or instruction, immediately and in all events within five (5) Business Days thereof, (x) distribute to the Lenders the Insurance Proceeds, and (y) following such distribution, record in the Register the assignment of the Loan to the Designee(s). Further, the Lenders agree to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Designee(s) an Assignment and Assumption reflecting such automatic assignment effective as of the date of the automatic assignment described in the first sentence of this Section 13.04(e) to the Designee(s) of the aggregate outstanding amount of all Obligations in respect of principal. Any obligations of the Insurers in this Section 13.04(e) may be satisfied by performance of the Designee(s), if any, on behalf of such Insurer. Each Insurer and their Designee(s) is a designated third-party beneficiary of this Section 13.04(e). To avoid doubt, failure of any Lender and any Designee to execute any Assignment and Assumption shall have no effect on the automatic subrogation and assignment described in this Section 13.04(e). The Lenders hereby authorize the Insurers to deliver the Insurance Notice and instructs the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent is entitled to conclusively rely on the Insurance Notice in the execution of the assignments of the Obligations provided for in this Section 13.04(e) and will be fully protected under Section 13.03 in doing so.

(f)Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 12.04, no transfer or assignment of the interests or obligations of any Lender or any grant of participations therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would require the Borrower and the Guarantors to file a registration statement with the SEC or to qualify the Loans under the “Blue Sky” laws of any state.

Section 13.05 Survival; Revival; Reinstatement.

(a)All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03, Article XII and Section 13.03 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the Transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof.

(b)To the extent that any payments on the Secured Obligations or proceeds of any Collateral are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver or other Person under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then to such extent, the Secured Obligations so satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received and the Administrative Agent’s, the Collateral Agent’s and the Lenders’ Liens, security interests, rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and each Loan Document shall continue in full force and effect. In such event, each Loan Document shall be automatically reinstated and the Borrower shall take such action as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders to effect such reinstatement.

Section 13.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

(a)This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.

(b)The words “execution,” “execute,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation Assignment and Assumptions, Borrowing Requests, Interest Election Requests, amendments, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, 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; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it.

(c)This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR,

CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

(d)Except as provided in Section 7.01, 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 which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by fax, as an attachment to an email or other similar electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 13.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 13.08 Rights of Setoff.

Section 13.12 Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (e) to the Insurers and its directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (f) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (g) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 13.12, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or

(ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any Hedging Agreement relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (h) with the consent of the Borrower or (i) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 13.12 or (ii) becomes available to the Agents, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section 13.12, “Information” means all written information received from any Loan Party relating to the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and their businesses and shall include, without limitation, this Agreement and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, other than (A) any such information that is available to the Agents or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party and (B) information pertaining to this Agreement routinely used in marketing materials or provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry (it is understood, for avoidance of doubt, that the names of the Loan Parties, the amount, type, currency, interest rate and yield to maturity of the Loans, the effective date of this Agreement and the role and title of such Lender is such type of information so routinely used or provided); provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 13.12 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Each Lender acknowledges that information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates and their Related Parties or their respective securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws. The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender and its Affiliates, at their respective sole expense, but without any prior approval by the Borrower, to publish tombstones and give other publicity to this Agreement as each may from time to time determine in its sole discretion. The Loan Parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of the identities of the Lenders and the amounts of their respective Commitments and Loans (in each case, other than the Lender that is the signatory to this Agreement and listed on Annex I hereto); provided that the Loan Parties may disclose such information with the consent of such Lender, upon the advice of legal counsel, or as required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process. Prior to filing any report or disclosure with the Securities Exchange Commission or releasing any press release or other similar public disclosure that, in each case, contains the name of any Lender or Affiliate of any Lender, the Loan Parties shall, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, furnish a copy of the proposed disclosure materials to such Lender and consult in good faith with such Lender regarding any revisions it may request.

Section 13.13 Interest Rate Limitation. It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Lender shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious as to any Lender under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of New York or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents or any agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the Secured Obligations, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to any Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Lender under any of the Loan Documents or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Loans shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Secured Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Secured Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the Loans is accelerated by reason of an election of the holder thereof resulting from any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to any Lender may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically by such Lender as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Secured Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Secured Obligations shall have

been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower). All sums paid or agreed to be paid to any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law applicable to such Lender, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the stated term of the Loans until Payment in Full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of any Loans hereunder does not exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law. If at any time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to any Lender on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender pursuant to this Section 13.13 and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Lender would be less than the amount of interest payable to such Lender computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender, then, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the amount of interest payable to such Lender in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender until the total amount of interest payable to such Lender shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to such Lender if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to this Section 13.13.

Section 13.14 EXCULPATION PROVISIONS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO SPECIFICALLY AGREES THAT IT HAS A DUTY TO READ THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND AGREES THAT IT IS CHARGED WITH NOTICE AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; THAT IT HAS IN FACT READ THIS AGREEMENT AND IS FULLY INFORMED AND HAS FULL NOTICE AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE TERMS, CONDITIONS AND EFFECTS OF THIS AGREEMENT; THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE THROUGHOUT THE NEGOTIATIONS PRECEDING ITS EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; AND HAS RECEIVED THE ADVICE OF ITS ATTORNEY IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; AND THAT IT RECOGNIZES THAT CERTAIN OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS RESULT IN ONE PARTY ASSUMING THE LIABILITY INHERENT IN SOME ASPECTS OF THE TRANSACTION AND RELIEVING THE OTHER PARTY OF ITS RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUCH LIABILITY. EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT CONTEST THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF ANY EXCULPATORY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS ON THE BASIS THAT THE PARTY HAD NO NOTICE OR KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH PROVISION OR THAT THE PROVISION IS NOT “CONSPICUOUS.”

Section 13.15 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the agreement of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder are solely for the benefit of the Borrower, and no other Person (including any obligor, contractor, subcontractor, supplier or materialsman) shall have any rights, claims, remedies or privileges hereunder or under any other Loan Document against the Agents or any Lender for any reason whatsoever. There are no third party beneficiaries.

Section 13.16 USA PATRIOT ACT NOTICE. Each Lender hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and the Guarantors, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and the Guarantors and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower and the Guarantors in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

Section 13.17 Collateral Releases.

(a) Release Upon Payment in Full. Upon Payment in Full, the Administrative Agent, at the written request and expense of the Borrower, will promptly release, reassign and transfer the Collateral to the Loan Parties pursuant to a customary payoff letter.

(b) Further Assurances. If any Property constituting the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Loan Party to any unaffiliated third party in a transaction permitted by the Loan Documents, then such Property shall automatically no longer constitute Collateral under the Loan Documents and shall automatically be released from the Liens created by the Security Documents, and the Collateral Agent, at the request and sole expense of the Borrower, shall promptly execute and deliver to the Borrower or a such Loan Party all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or

desirable for the release of the Liens created by the applicable Security Document on such Collateral; provided that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release (or such other time period as the Administrative Agent may agree), a written request for release identifying the Loan Party, together with a certification by the Borrower stating (x) that such transaction is in compliance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (y) the Borrower has complied with its obligations under Section 9.01(k), if applicable, and (z) no Collateral other than the Collateral required to be released is being released.

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:
