(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including in connection with any calculation made on a Pro Forma Basis), to the extent that the terms of this Agreement require (i) compliance with any financial ratio or financial test (including any First Lien Leverage Ratio test, any Senior Secured Leverage Ratio test, any Total Leverage Ratio test and/or any Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio test) and/or any cap expressed as a percentage of Consolidated Net Income or Consolidated EBITDA, (ii) accuracy of any representation or warranty or the absence of a Default or Event of Default (or any type of default or event of default), in each case other than for purposes of the making of any Revolving Extension of Credit (other than under an Incremental Revolving Facility and to the extent not prohibited by the terms of the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment) or (iii) compliance with any basket or other condition, as a condition to (A) the consummation of any acquisition, or Investment (whether by merger, amalgamation, consolidation or other business combination or the

55

acquisition of Capital Stock or otherwise, the consummation of which by the Parent is not conditioned on the availability of, or obtaining, third party financing), (B) the redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock requiring notice in advance of such redemption, repurchase, satisfaction and discharge or repayment and (C) any any transaction entered into in connection with a transaction described in the foregoing (A) or (B) (clauses (A), (B) and (C), collectively, a “Limited Condition Transaction”), the determination of whether the relevant condition is satisfied may be made, at the election of the Parent, (I) in the case of any such acquisition, consolidation, business combination or similar Investment, at the time of (or on the basis of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.1) either (x) the execution of a letter of intent or the definitive agreement with respect to such acquisition, consolidation, business combination, similar Investment (or, solely in connection with an acquisition, consolidation or business combination to which the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers applies, the date on which a “Rule 2.7 Announcement” of a firm intention to make an offer) or the establishment of a commitment with respect to such Indebtedness or (y) the consummation of such acquisition, consolidation, business combination or Investment and (II) in the case of any redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment of Indebtedness, at the time of (or on the basis of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.1 at the time of) (x) delivery of irrevocable notice with respect to such redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment of Indebtedness or (y) the redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment of such Indebtedness, in each case, after giving effect on a Pro Forma Basis to the relevant acquisition, consolidation, business combination or similar Investment and/or Restricted Debt Payment, incurrence of Indebtedness or other transaction (including the intended use of proceeds of any Indebtedness to be incurred in connection therewith) and any other acquisition, consolidation, business combination or similar Investment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment of Indebtedness, incurrence of Indebtedness or other transaction that has not been consummated but with respect to which the Parent has elected to test any applicable condition prior to the date of consummation in accordance with this Section 1.4(d), and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of an adverse change in such test or condition occurring after the time such election is made (but any subsequent improvement in the applicable ratio, test or amount may be utilized by the Parent or any Subsidiary). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Parent shall have elected the option set forth in clause (x) of any of the preceding clauses (I) or (II) in respect of any transaction, then (i) the Parent shall be permitted to consummate such transaction even if any applicable test or condition shall cease to be satisfied subsequent to the Parent’s election of such option and (ii) any further determination with respect to incurrence tests prior to the earlier of the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction and the termination of such Limited Condition Transaction will require the Parent to comply with such tests on a Pro Forma Basis assuming the applicable Limited Condition Transactions have been consummated and indebtedness has been incurred (including any applicable incurrence or extinguishment of indebtedness). The provisions of this paragraph (d) shall also apply in respect of the incurrence of any Incremental Facility.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless the Parent otherwise notifies the Administrative Agent, with respect to any amount incurred (including under Section 2.27 (including the definition of Incremental Cap used therein)) or transaction entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or financial test (including any First Lien Leverage Ratio test, any Senior Secured Leverage Ratio test, any Total Leverage Ratio test and/or any Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio test) (any such amount, including any amount drawn under the Revolving Facility, any or any other permitted revolving facility and any cap expressed as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA, a “Fixed Amount”) substantially concurrently with any amount incurred or transaction entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with a financial ratio or financial test (including any First Lien Leverage Ratio test, any Senior Secured Leverage Ratio test, any Total Leverage Ratio test and/or any

56

Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio test) (any such amount, an “Incurrence-Based Amount”), it is understood and agreed that (i) the incurrence of the Incurrence-Based Amount shall be calculated first without giving effect to any Fixed Amount but giving full pro forma effect to the use of proceeds of such Fixed Amount and the related transactions and (ii) the incurrence of the Fixed Amount shall be calculated thereafter. Unless the Parent elects otherwise, the Parent shall be deemed to have used amounts under an Incurrence-Based Amount then available to the Parent prior to utilization of any amount under a Fixed Amount then available to the Parent.

(f) The principal amount of any non-interest bearing Indebtedness or other discount security constituting Indebtedness at any date shall be the principal amount thereof that would be shown on a balance sheet of the Parent dated such date prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(g) The increase in any amount of Indebtedness or any increase in any amount secured by any Lien by virtue of the accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest or a dividend in the form of additional Indebtedness, amortization of original issue discount and/or any increase in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of any fluctuation in the exchange rate of any applicable currency shall be deemed to be permitted Indebtedness for purposes of Section 7.2 and will be deemed not to be the granting of a Lien for purposes of Section 7.3.

(h) For purposes of determining compliance with Section 7.2 or Section 7.3, if any Indebtedness or Lien is incurred in reliance on a basket measured by reference to a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA, and any refinancing or replacement thereof would cause the percentage of Consolidated EBITDA to be exceeded if calculated based on the Consolidated EBITDA on the date of such refinancing or replacement, such percentage of Consolidated EBITDA will be deemed not to be exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing or replacement Indebtedness or other obligation does not exceed an amount sufficient to repay the principal amount of such Indebtedness or other obligation being refinanced or replaced, except by an amount equal to (x) unpaid accrued interest, penalties and premiums (including tender, prepayment or repayment premiums) thereon plus underwriting discounts and other customary fees, commissions and expenses (including upfront fees, original issue discount or initial yield payment) incurred in connection with such refinancing or replacement, (y) any existing commitments unutilized thereunder and (z) additional amounts permitted to be incurred under Section 7.2 and, to the extent secured by a Lien, Section 7.3 (and, in each case, the applicable clause of Section 7.2 and Section 7.3 shall be deemed to be utilized by the amount so incurred).

(i) For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining compliance with Section 7.2(h), (j), (l), (n) and (p) and any other comparable provision of Section 7.2, a Permitted Refinancing in respect of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to a U.S. Dollar-denominated or Consolidated EBITDA-governed basket shall not increase capacity to incur Indebtedness under such U.S. Dollar-denominated or EBITDA-governed basket, and such U.S. Dollar-denominated or EBITDA-governed basket shall be deemed to continue to be utilized by the amount of the original Indebtedness incurred unless and until the Indebtedness incurred to effect such Permitted Refinancing is no longer outstanding.

(j) Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Parent pursuant to this Agreement (or required to be satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted under this Agreement) shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).

(k) For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law: (i) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from

57

the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (ii) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and acquired (or, if such subsequent Person ceases to be a Subsidiary of the original Person, disposed of) on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Capital Stock at such time.

1.5 [Reserved].

1.6 Interest Rates; Benchmark Notification. The interest rate on a Loan denominated in dollars may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that may be discontinued or is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, Section 2.18 provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to any interest rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the existing interest rate being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did any existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any interest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

Upon the maturity date of any tranche of Revolving Commitments, the sublimit for Swingline Loans may be reduced as agreed between the Swingline Lender and the Parent, without the consent of any other Person.

2.10 Commitment Fees, Ticking Fee, etc.

(a) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to the last day of the Revolving Commitment Period, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the fifteenth Business Dday of each January, April, July and October and on the Revolving Termination Date, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the Closing Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent may rescind or postpone any notice of termination of any of the Commitments if such termination would have resulted from a refinancing of all or any portion of any Facility or Facilities, which refinancing shall not be consummated or otherwise shall be delayed.

(a) If, after the Merger Effective Time, any Indebtedness shall be incurred by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any permitted Indebtedness incurred in accordance with Section 7.2 (except for Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness which shall be applied in accordance with clause (iii) of the definition thereof)), an amount equal to 100.0% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be

64

applied on the date of such issuance or incurrence toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.13(d).

(b) If on any date after the Merger Effective Time the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event then, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied on the fifth Business Day following the receipt thereof toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.13(d); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, at the option of the Parent, the Parent may reinvest the Net Cash Proceeds in the business of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries within (x) 18 months following the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds or (y) 24 months following the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, in the event that the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries shall have entered into a binding commitment within 18 months following the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds in the business of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (it being understood that if any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be reinvested or are not reinvested within such 24-month period, an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied on the fifth Business Day after the Parent reasonably determines that such Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or are not reinvested within such 24-month period toward prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.13(d)); provided that if at the time that any such prepayment would be required, the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is required to prepay or offer to repurchase with the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Sale or Recovery Event any Incremental Equivalent Debt, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, Ratio Debt, Incurred Acquisition Debt or any other Indebtedness outstanding at such time, in each case that is secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is pari passu (but without regard to the control of remedies) with the Liens securing the Obligations pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness (such Indebtedness required to be offered to be so repurchased, “Other Applicable Asset Sale Indebtedness”), then the Parent may apply the Net Cash Proceeds on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and Other Applicable Asset Sale Indebtedness at such time) to the prepayment of such Other Applicable Asset Sale Indebtedness; it being understood that the portion of the Net Cash Proceeds allocated to the Other Applicable Asset Sale Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount of the Net Cash Proceeds required to be allocated to the Other Applicable Asset Sale Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof (and the remaining amount, if any, of the Net Cash Proceeds shall be allocated to the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof), and the amount of the prepayment of the Term Loans that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.13(b) shall be reduced accordingly.

(c) [Reserved].

(d) The application of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.13(a) or (b) shall reduce the outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans held by the Lenders on a pro rata basis and shall be applied to the remaining scheduled principal installments thereof as directed by the Company (and, in the absence of such direction, in direct order of maturity). The application of any prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be made, first, to ABR Loans, second, to RFR Loans and third, to Term Benchmark Loans. Each prepayment of the Loans under this Section 2.13 shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid.

(e) Each Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent at or prior to the time and in the manner specified by the Administrative Agent, prior to any prepayment of Term Loans required to be made by a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13(b), to decline all (but not a portion) of its prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”), which Declined Proceeds may be retained by the Parent and used for any purpose not prohibited hereunder; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no Lender may reject any prepayment made under Section 2.13(a) above to the extent that such prepayment is made with the proceeds of any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refinance all or a portion of the Term Loans. If any Lender fails to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent of its

65

election to decline receipt of its ratable percentage of any mandatory prepayment within the time frame specified by the Administrative Agent, such failure will be deemed to constitute an acceptance of such Lender’s ratable percentage of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans.

(f) [Reserved].

(g) If at any time the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit exceed 105% of the Total Revolving Commitments, the Borrowers shall, within one Business Day of notice thereof from the Administrative Agent, prepay the Revolving Loans in an amount equal to the amount of such excess or, to the extent the principal amount of Revolving Loans outstanding is less than the amount of such excess, cash collateralize L/C Obligations in respect of any Letters of Credit (in an amount equal to 101% of the undrawn face amount thereof) (or backstop or provide credit support reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Lender), in each case to the extent necessary to eliminate any such excess.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provisions of Section 2.13, to the extent any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event received by a Foreign Subsidiary are prohibited or delayed by any applicable local law (including financial assistance, corporate benefit restrictions on upstreaming of cash intra group and the fiduciary and statutory duties of the directors of such Foreign Subsidiary) from being repatriated or passed on to or used for the benefit of the Parent or any applicable Domestic Subsidiary (the Parent hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation as long as such repatriation does not create a non-de minimis adverse tax consequence) or if the Parent has determined in good faith that repatriation of any such amount to the Parent or any applicable Domestic Subsidiary would have non-de minimis adverse tax consequences with respect to such amount, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to prepay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.13 but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary for so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation or the passing on to or otherwise using for the benefit of the Parent or the applicable Domestic Subsidiary, or the Parent believes in good faith that such non-de minimis adverse tax consequence would result, and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law or the Parent determines in good faith that such repatriation would no longer would have such non-de minimis adverse tax consequences, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than five Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reasonably estimated to be payable as a result thereof) to the prepayment of the applicable Term Loans as otherwise required pursuant to this Section 2.13; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent and the applicable Foreign Subsidiary shall have no obligation to repatriate any Net Cash Proceeds (or take any further action with respect thereto) from and after the date that is twelve months after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds.

2.14 Conversion and Continuation Options.

(a) Any Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Term Benchmark Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election, provided that any such conversion of Term Benchmark Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Any Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election (which notice shall specify in the case of Term Benchmark Loans the length of the initial Interest Period therefor); provided that no ABR Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Term Benchmark Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined

66

in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(b) [reserved].

(c) Any Term Benchmark Loan shall be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto unless the applicable Borrower gives notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of a different length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans or elects to convert such Loan to an ABR Loan or an RFR Loan; provided that no Term Benchmark Loan denominated under a particular Facility may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations; and provided, further, that if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Term Benchmark Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

2.15 Limitations on Term Benchmark Borrowings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all Borrowings, conversions and continuations of Term Benchmark Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, (a) the aggregate principal amount of the Term Benchmark Loans comprising each Term Benchmark Tranche shall be equal to the Applicable Minimum Amount and (b) there shall be no more than ten Interest Periods in effect at any time with respect to all Borrowings outstanding.

2.16 Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

(a) Each Term Benchmark Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Each RFR Loan, if available pursuant to Section 2.18, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(d) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of or interest on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due and payable (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise and after giving effect to any grace or cure periods applicable thereto), such overdue amounts shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of overdue amounts in respect of any Loan, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% or (y) in the case of overdue amounts in respect of any Reimbursement Obligation, the rate applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2%, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest, commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due and payable (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise and after giving effect to any grace or cure periods applicable thereto), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2% (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2%), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

67

(e) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.

2.17 Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to ABR Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Parent and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Term Benchmark Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Alternate Base Rate or Daily Simple SOFR shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Parent and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders absent manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Parent, deliver to the Parent a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.17(a).

2.18 Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a) Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 2.18.

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (including because the Term SOFR Reference Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period or (B) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period or (B) at any time, Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrower delivers a new Interest Election Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.14 or a new Borrowing Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.4 or Section 2.7, as applicable, (1) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing and any Borrowing Request that requests a Term Benchmark Revolving Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be an Interest Election Request or a Borrowing Request, as applicable, for (x) an RFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also then subject to the circumstances described in Section 2.18(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) an ABR Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR

68

also is the subject of Section 2.18(a)(i) or (ii) above and (2) any Borrowing Request that requests an RFR Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be a Borrowing Request, as applicable, for an ABR Borrowing; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then all other Types of Borrowings shall be permitted. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this ‎Section 2.18(a) with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrower delivers a new Interest Election Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.14 or a new Borrowing Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.4 or Section 2.7, as applicable, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) an RFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also then subject to the circumstances described in Section 2.18(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is then subject to the circumstances described in Section 2.18(a)(i) or (ii) above, on such day, and (2) any RFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute an ABR Loan.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any Swap Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.18), if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

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

(d) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (e) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.18, 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

69

their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this ‎Section 2.18.

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

(f) Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to (A) an RFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) an ABR Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.18, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) an RFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event, on such day and (2) any RFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute an ABR Loan.

2.19 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(a) Each Borrowing by a Borrower from the Revolving Lenders hereunder, each payment by a Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be made pro rata according to the respective Revolving Percentages of the Revolving Lenders.

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by a Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.28.

(c) Each payment (including each prepayment) by a Borrower on account of principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Tranche A Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the

70

respective outstanding principal amounts of the Tranche A Term Loans then held by the Tranche A Term Lenders. Subject to Section 2.13(d), the amount of each principal prepayment of the Tranche A Term Loans shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of the Tranche A Term Loans in the direct order of maturity. Amounts prepaid on account of the Tranche A Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by a Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at its Funding Office, in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Term Benchmark Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Term Benchmark Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a Borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average NYFRB Rate. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive absent manifest error. If such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s share of such Borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate, on demand, from the applicable Borrower.

(g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the applicable Borrower prior to the date of any payment being made hereunder that the applicable Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the applicable Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the applicable Borrower within three Business Days of such required date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against any Borrower.

2.20 Requirements of Law.

71

(a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Credit Party with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall subject such Credit Party to any Tax (except for Non-Excluded Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the definition of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement (including any insurance charge or other assessment) against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Credit Party or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

(iii) shall impose on such Credit Party or the loan interbank or other relevant market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or the Loans made by such Credit Party or any Letter of Credit or participation therein (other than Taxes);

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Credit Party, by an amount that such Credit Party deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrowers shall pay such Credit Party, following thirty (30) days’ prior written demand and delivery of the calculation of such amount, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Credit Party for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Credit Party becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Parent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled together with a calculation of such amount claimed; provided that failure or delay on the part of any Credit Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.20(a) shall not constitute a waiver of such Credit Party’s right to demand such compensation; provided further that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Parent of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided further that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such 90-day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect; provided further that in respect of clause (a)(i), the Parent shall be required to make such payment only if the respective Lender certifies that it generally requires similarly situated borrowers in comparable syndicated credit facilities to which it is a lender to make similar payments.

(b) If any Credit Party shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Credit Party, or any corporation controlling such Credit Party with any request or directive regarding capital or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Effective Date shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Credit Party’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Credit Party’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Credit Party to the Parent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrowers shall pay to such Credit Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Credit Party

72

for such reduction; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Parent of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such 90-day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect; and provided further that the Parent shall be required to make such payment only if the respective Lender certifies that it generally requires similarly situated borrowers in comparable syndicated credit facilities to which it is a lender to make similar payments.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (x) the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority), or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed to be a change in a Requirement of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

(d) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Credit Party to the Parent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.21 Taxes.

(a) 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 or on account of, any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is a Non-Excluded Tax or an Other Tax, then the amount payable by the applicable Loan Party to the Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Credit Party receives an amount that such Credit Party would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.21, as soon as practicable thereafter the applicable Loan Party shall send to the Administrative Agent the original or certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment.

(b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes.

(c) The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Credit Party, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (including Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Credit Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Credit Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, however, that the Loan Parties shall not be obligated to indemnify such Credit Party pursuant to this Section 2.21 in respect of penalties, interest and other liabilities are attributable to the bad

73

faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Credit Party. After a Credit Party learns of the imposition of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, such Credit Party will act in good faith to promptly notify the Parent of its obligations thereunder. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for any Taxes (i) attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of such Loan Party to do so) or (ii) attributable to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in either case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, such Administrative Agent or Lender shall deliver to the Parent and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Parent or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Parent 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 Parent or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Parent or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Parent or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.21(f)) 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.

(f) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(i) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “U.S. Person”) shall deliver to the Parent 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 Parent or the Administrative Agent), a properly completed and duly signed copy of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(ii) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a U.S. Person (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Parent 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 Parent or the Administrative Agent.):

74

(A) in the case of a Non-U.S. 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, a properly completed and duly signed copy of IRS Form W- 8BEN or IRS Form 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, two completed and duly signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form 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;

(B) in case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming that its extension of credit will generate U.S. effectively connected income, a properly completed and duly signed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(C) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Parent within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a CFC related to the Parent as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and that the income is not effectively connected income (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) a properly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

(D) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, a properly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by a properly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner.

(iii) Any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Parent and the Administrative Agent on or about the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Parent or the Administrative Agent), a completed and duly signed copy 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 Parent or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made;

(iv) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA (which term for purposes of this clause (iv) shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement) 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 Parent and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Parent or the 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 Parent or the Administrative

75

Agent as may be necessary for the Parent and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine that such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment; and

(v) The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Parent an executed copy of whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) if the Administrative Agent is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying to such Administrative Agent's exemption from U.S. federal backup withholding; or

(B) if the Administrative Agent is not a U.S. Person, (x) IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to payments received for its own account; and (y) IRS Form W-8IMY with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of others, clarifying that it is a U.S. branch of a foreign bank or insurance company described in Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv)(A) of the United States Treasury Regulations that is a “participating foreign financial institution” or PFFI (including a reporting Model 2 FFI), registered deemed-compliant FFI (including a reporting Model 1 FFI), or “non-financial foreign entity” that is using this form as evidence of its agreement with the withholding agent to be treated as a U.S. Person with respect to any payments associated with this withholding certificate.

(g) The Administrative Agent and each Lender agree that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Parent and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) 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 2.21 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.21), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.21(h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.21(h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.21(h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification 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 Section 2.21(h) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) For purposes of this Section 2.21, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Lender and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(j) Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment or rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination

76

of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

2.22 Indemnity. With respect to Term Benchmark Loans, each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by such Borrower in making a Borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans after such Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by such Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Term Benchmark Loans after such Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a payment of Term Benchmark Loans (including pursuant to Sections 2.24 or 10.1(c)) on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification, which shall be payable within 30 days of written demand therefor, may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid or returned, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or return or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the applicable interbank market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Parent by any Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.23 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Sections 2.20 or 2.21 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Parent, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding (or mitigating) the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, (i) would eliminate or reduce the amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.20 or Section 2.21, as the case may be, in the future, (ii) would not subject such Lender to (A) any unreimbursed cost or expense or (B) significant investment of time or effort and (iii) would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.20 or 2.21. The Parent hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation.

2.24 Replacement of Lenders. The Parent shall be permitted, at its sole expense and effort, with respect to any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.20 or Section 2.21, (b) has become a Defaulting Lender hereunder or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender directly affected thereby” (or any other Class or group of Lenders other than the Required Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders) with respect to which Required Lender or Required Revolving Lender consent, as applicable (or the consent of Lenders holding loans or commitments of such Class or lesser group representing more than 50.0% of the sum of the total loans and unused commitments of such Class or lesser group at such time) has been obtained, as applicable, is a non-consenting Lender (each such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) (1) to replace such Lender, with a replacement bank, financial institution or entity;

77

provided that (i) the replacement bank, financial institution or entity shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (ii) the applicable Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.22 for any losses suffered or expenses incurred by such Lender if any Term Benchmark Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (iii) the replacement bank, financial institution, or entity if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to the extent such consent is required pursuant to Section 10.6, (iv) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that the applicable Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein) or pursuant to other procedures agreed upon by the Parent and the Administrative Agent including deemed assignments upon payment to the replaced Lender of amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to this Section 2.24, (v) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the applicable Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.20 or 2.21, as the case may be, and (vi) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that any Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender or (2) terminate the Commitment of such Lender and (a) in the case of a Lender (other than an Issuing Lender), repay all Obligations (other than contingent expense reimbursement and indemnification obligations) of the Borrowers owing to such Lender relating to the applicable Loans, Commitments and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date, and (b) in the case of an Issuing Lender, repay all Obligations (other than contingent expense reimbursement and indemnification obligations) of the Borrowers owing to such Issuing Lender relating to the applicable Loans and participations held by the Issuing Lender as of such termination date and cancel or backstop on terms satisfactory to such L/C Issuer any Letters of Credit issued by it. No action by or consent of any Lender referred to in this Section 2.24, including any Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of the amounts described in the immediately preceding sentence.

2.25 [Reserved].

2.26 Extension of the Facilities.

(a) The Parent may at any time and from time to time after the Merger Effective Time, request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of a given Class (or series or tranche thereof) (each, an “Existing Term Loan Tranche”) be amended to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so amended, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms applicable thereto consistent with this ‎Section 2.26. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the Parent shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche) (each, a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Term Loan Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Term Loan Tranche and (y) be identical to the Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which such Extended Term Loans are to be amended, except that: (i) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (ii) the All-in Yield with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be different than the All-in Yield for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other

78

covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment; and (iv) the Extended Term Loans may have prepayment premiums or call protection as may be agreed by the Parent and the Lenders thereof; provided that that (A) in no event shall the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans of a given Term Loan Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the maturity date of the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche, (B) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans of a given Term Loan Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche, (C) all documentation in respect of such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing and (D) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Term Loan Extension Request. Any Class of Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Term Loan Extension Series”) of Extended Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Term Loans amended from an Existing Term Loan Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Term Loan Extension Series with respect to such Existing Term Loan Tranche. Each Term Loan Extension Series of Extended Term Loans incurred under this ‎Section 2.26 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $20,000,000 (or such lesser amount as to which the Administrative Agent may agree).

(b) The Parent may at any time and from time to time after the Merger Effective Time, in its sole discretion, request that all or a portion of the Revolving Commitments or commitments in respect of an Incremental Revolving Facility (“Incremental Revolving Commitments”) of a given Class (or series or tranche thereof) (each, an “Existing Revolver Tranche”) be amended to extend the maturity date with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Revolving Commitments or Incremental Revolving Commitments (any such Revolving Commitments or Incremental Revolving Commitments which have been so amended, “Extended Revolving Commitments”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this ‎Section 2.26. In order to establish any Extended Revolving Commitments, the Parent shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Revolver Tranche) (each, a “Revolver Extension Request” and together with a Term Loan Extension Request, an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Commitments to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche and (y) be identical to the Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche from which such Extended Revolving Commitments are to be amended, except that: (i) the maturity date of the Extended Revolving Commitments may be delayed to a later date than the maturity date of the Revolving Commitments of such Existing Revolver Tranche, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (ii) the All-in Yield with respect to extensions of credit under the Extended Revolving Commitments (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, commitment fees, OID or otherwise) may be different than the All-in Yield for extensions of credit under the Revolving Commitments of such Existing Revolver Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment; and (iv) all Borrowings under the applicable Revolving Commitments (i.e., the Existing Revolver Tranche and the Extended Revolving Commitments of the applicable Revolver Extension Series) and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (I) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) and (II) repayments required upon the maturity date of the non-extending Revolving Commitments); provided, further, that all documentation in respect of such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing. Any Extended Revolving Commitments amended pursuant to any Revolver Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a

79

“Revolver Extension Series” (and together with a Term Loan Extension Series, any “Extension Series”)) of Extended Revolving Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Revolving Commitments amended from an Existing Revolver Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Revolver Extension Series with respect to such Existing Revolver Tranche. Each Revolver Extension Series of Extended Revolving Commitments incurred under this ‎Section 2.26 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000 (or such lesser amount as to which the Administrative Agent may agree).

(c) The Parent shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, are requested to respond, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this ‎Section 2.26. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Tranche amended into Extended Term Loans or any of its Revolving Commitments amended into Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Lender holding a Loan under an Existing Term Loan Tranche (each, an “Extending Term Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to such Extension Request amended into Extended Term Loans and any Revolving Lender (each, an “Extending Revolving Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche subject to such Extension Request amended into Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, which it has elected to request be amended into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent). In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, in respect of which applicable Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Request exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, requested to be extended pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, subject to Extension Elections shall be amended to Extended Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, on a pro rata basis (subject to rounding by the Administrative Agent, which shall be conclusive absent manifest error) based on the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, included in each such Extension Election.

(d) Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among the Parent, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Term Lender or Extending Revolving Lender, as applicable, providing an Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Commitment, as applicable, thereunder, which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Sections ‎2.26(a) or ‎(b) above, respectively (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender). The effectiveness of any Extension Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in ‎Section 5.3 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of reaffirmation agreements or such amendments to the Security Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents. The Parent may, at its election, specify as a condition to consummating any Extension Amendment that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Request in the Parent’s sole discretion and as may be waived by the Parent) of Term Loans, Revolving Commitments or Incremental Revolving

80

Commitments (as applicable) of any or all applicable Classes be tendered. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, incurred pursuant thereto, (ii) modify the scheduled repayments set forth in ‎Section 2.5 with respect to any Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to an Extension Election to reflect a reduction in the principal amount of the Term Loans thereunder in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to the applicable Extension Election (with such amount to be applied ratably to reduce scheduled repayments of such Term Loans required pursuant to ‎Section 2.5), (iii) modify the prepayments set forth in ‎Section 2.5 to reflect the existence of the Extended Term Loans and the application of prepayments with respect thereto, (iv) make such other changes to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents consistent with the provisions and intent of ‎Section 10.1 (but without the consent of any Lenders called for therein) and (v) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Parent, to effect the provisions of this ‎Section 2.26, and the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment.

(e) No extension of Loans pursuant to any Extension Election in accordance with this ‎Section 2.26 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.

(f) This ‎Section 2.26 shall supersede any provisions in ‎Section 2.19 or ‎10.1 to the contrary.

2.27 Incremental Loan Extensions.

(a) The Parent may, at any time after the Merger Effective Time, on one or more occasions pursuant to an Incremental Facility Amendment (i) add one or more new Classes of term facilities (which may be additional Tranche A Term Loans or term “b” loans) and/or increase the principal amount of any Term Loans of any existing Class by requesting new term loan commitments to be added to such Loans (any such new Class or increase, an “Incremental Term Facility” and any loans made pursuant to an Incremental Term Facility, “Incremental Term Loans”) or (ii) add one or more new Classes of revolving commitments and/or increase the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments of any existing Class (any such new Class or increase, an “Incremental Revolving Facility” and, together with any Incremental Term Facility, “Incremental Facilities”, or either or any thereof, an “Incremental Facility”; and the loans thereunder, “Incremental Revolving Loans” and, together with any Incremental Term Loans, “Incremental Loans”) in an aggregate outstanding principal amount not to exceed the Incremental Cap; provided that:

81

(iii) no Incremental Facility or Incremental Loan (nor the creation, provision or implementation thereof) shall require the approval of any existing Lender other than in its capacity, if any, as a lender providing all or part of such Incremental Facility or Incremental Loan,

(iv) [reserved];

(v) the All-in-Yield applicable to any Incremental Facility shall be determined by the Parent and the lender or lenders providing such Incremental Facility,

(vii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Incremental Term Facility shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Tranche A Term Facility; provided, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to a customary 364-day loan facility or a customary bridge facility which bridge facility, subject to customary conditions, automatically convert into long-term debt satisfying the requirements of this clause (vii); provided, further, that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Incremental Term Facility is shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Tranche A Facility solely to the extent necessary to make such Incremental Term Facility fungible with the Tranche A Term Facility,

(viii) subject to clauses (vi) and (vii) above, any Incremental Term Facility may otherwise have an amortization schedule as determined by the Parent and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility,

(ix) subject to clause (v) above, to the extent applicable, the fees payable in connection with any Incremental Facility shall be determined by the Parent and the arrangers and/or lenders providing such Incremental Facility,

(x) (A) each Incremental Facility shall (i) rank pari passu with (but without regard to the control of remedies) or junior to the initial Term Loans (in the case of any Incremental Term Facility) and pari passu with (but without regard to the control of remedies) or junior to the initial Revolving Loans (in the case of Incremental Revolving Loans), in each case in right of payment and security or (ii) be unsecured and (B) no Incremental Facility may be (x) guaranteed by any Subsidiaries other than Subsidiaries that are Guarantors or (y) secured by Liens on any assets other than the Collateral,

82

such Incremental Term Loans) in any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required pursuant to Section 2.13(b),

(xii) no Event of Default shall exist immediately prior to or after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Incremental Facility (except in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, where solely to the extent required by the Lenders providing such Incremental Facility, no such Event of Default shall exist at the time as elected by the Parent pursuant to Section 1.4(d)),

(xiii) after giving effect to such Incremental Facility, the condition set forth in Section 5.3(a) shall be satisfied (except in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, where solely to the extent required by the Lenders providing such Incremental Facility, the condition set forth in Section 5.3(a) shall be satisfied at the time as elected by the Parent pursuant to Section 1.4(d)),

(xiv) except as otherwise required or permitted in clauses (i) through (xi) above, all other terms of any Incremental Facility shall be as agreed between the Parent and the Lenders providing such Incremental Facility; provided to the extent such terms are not consistent with the terms in respect of the applicable Facility, they shall be not materially more restrictive (as determined by the Parent in good faith), when taken as a whole, than those under such applicable Facility (except for covenants or other provisions (w) that reflect market terms and conditions (taken as a whole) at the time of incurrence (as determined by the Parent in good faith), (x) applicable only to periods after the maturity date of such applicable Facility, (y) that are also added for the benefit of each applicable Facility or (z) that are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (provided that, in the case of each of clauses (w), (y) and (z), if any financial maintenance covenant for the benefit of any Incremental Facility is added or is more restrictive than the financial maintenance covenants then applicable to any then-existing Tranche A Term Facility or Revolving Facility, such financial maintenance covenants shall be applied to any then-existing Tranche A Term Facility and Revolving Facility)), provided that any Incremental Facility in the form of term “b” loans (such Incremental Facility loans, “Term B Loans”) (x) may include a customary “excess cash flow” mandatory prepayment event, (y) may have customary call-protection, including “soft-call” protection in connection with any repricing transaction and (z) may also, to the extent so provided in the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment, specify whether (A) the applicable Term Lenders shall have any voting rights in respect of the financial covenants under the Loan Documents (it being agreed that if any subsequently incurred Term B Loans shall have such voting rights, all then outstanding Term B Loans shall also have similar voting rights) and (B) any breach of such covenants would result in a default or event of default for such Term Lenders prior to an acceleration of Commitments or Loans by the applicable Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof as a result of such breach (it being agreed that if any subsequently incurred Term B Loans shall have such a default, all then outstanding Term B Loans shall also have a similar default),

(xv) the proceeds of any Incremental Facility may be used for working capital, Capital Expenditures and other general corporate purposes of the applicable Borrowers and their subsidiaries (including permitted Restricted Payments, Investments, permitted acquisitions, Restricted Debt Payments) and any other purpose not prohibited by the terms of the Loan Documents, and

(xvi) on the date of the making of any Incremental Term Loans that will be added to any Class of then existing Term Loans, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Sections 2.16, such Incremental Term Loans shall be added to (and constitute a part of, be of the

83

same Type as and, at the election of the Parent, have the same Interest Period as) each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of such Class on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of such Borrowings), so that each Term Lender providing such Incremental Term Loans will participate proportionately in each then-outstanding Borrowing of Term Loans of such Class; it being acknowledged that the application of this clause may result in new Incremental Term Loans having Interest Periods (the duration of which may be less than one month) that begin during an Interest Period then applicable to outstanding Term Benchmark Loans of the relevant Class and which end on the last day of such Interest Period.

(b) Incremental Commitments may be provided by any existing Lender or by any other bank, financial institution or other entity that is not an Ineligible Institution (any such other bank, financial institution or other entity being called an “Additional Lender”); provided that the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of any Incremental Revolving Facility, the Swingline Lender and any Issuing Lender) shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to the relevant Additional Lender’s provision of Incremental Commitments if such consent would be required under Section 10.6(c) for an assignment of Loans to such Additional Lender.

(c) Each Lender or Additional Lender providing a portion of any Incremental Commitment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Parent all such documentation (including the relevant Incremental Facility Amendment) as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to evidence and effectuate such Incremental Commitment. On the effective date of such Incremental Commitment, each Additional Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes in connection with this Agreement.

(d) As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility or the making of any Incremental Loans, (i) upon its request, the Administrative Agent shall have received reaffirmation agreements, supplements or amendments as it shall reasonably require, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received, from each Additional Lender, an administrative questionnaire in the form provided to such Additional Lender by the Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Questionnaire”) and such other documents as it shall reasonably require from such Additional Lender and (iii) the Administrative Agent and applicable Additional Lenders shall have received all fees required to be paid in respect of such Incremental Facility or Incremental Loans.

(e) Upon the implementation of any Incremental Revolving Facility pursuant to this Section 2.27:

(i) if such Incremental Revolving Facility establishes Revolving Commitments of the same Class as any then-existing Class of Revolving Commitments, (i) each Revolving Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each relevant Lender under such Incremental Revolving Facility, and each relevant Lender under such Incremental Revolving Facility will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed a portion of such Revolving ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans such that, after giving effect to each deemed assignment and assumption of participations, all of the Revolving Lenders’ (including each Lender’s under such Incremental Revolving Facility) (A) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (B) participations hereunder in Swingline Loans shall be held on a pro rata basis on the basis of their respective Revolving Commitments (after giving effect to any increase in the Revolving Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.27) and (ii) the existing Revolving Lenders of the applicable Class shall assign Revolving Loans to certain other Revolving Lenders of such Class (including the Revolving Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Revolving Facility), and such other Revolving Lenders (including the Revolving Lenders providing the relevant

84

Incremental Revolving Facility) shall purchase such Revolving Loans, in each case to the extent necessary so that all of the Revolving Lenders of such Class participate in each outstanding Borrowing of Revolving Loans pro rata on the basis of their respective Revolving Commitments of such Class (after giving effect to any increase in the Revolving Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.27); it being understood and agreed that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to this clause (i); and

(ii) if such Incremental Revolving Facility establishes Revolving Commitments of a new Class, (1) the borrowing and repayment (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on any Revolving Facility, (B) repayments required upon the maturity date of any Revolving Facility and (C) repayments made in connection with any permanent repayment and termination of any Revolving Commitments (subject to clause (3) below)) of Incremental Revolving Loans after the effective date of such Incremental Revolving Facility shall be made on a pro rata basis with any then-existing Revolving Facility, (2) all Swingline Loans and/or Letters of Credit made or issued, as applicable, under such Incremental Revolving Facility shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Revolving Lenders and (3) any permanent repayment of Revolving Loans with respect to, and reduction or termination of Revolving Commitments under, any Revolving Facility after the effective date of any Incremental Revolving Facility shall be made on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis with all other Revolving Facilities, except that the applicable Borrowers shall be permitted to permanently repay Revolving Loans and terminate Revolving Commitments of any Revolving Facility on a greater than pro rata basis (I) as compared to any other Revolving Facilities with a later maturity date than such Revolving Facility or (II) with the proceeds of Indebtedness refinancing such Revolving Facility.

(f) On the date of effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving Facility, the maximum amount of L/C Exposure and/or Swingline Loans, as applicable, permitted hereunder shall increase by an amount, if any, agreed upon by the Administrative Agent, the Parent and the relevant Issuing Lender and/or the Swingline Lender, as applicable.

(g) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any Incremental Facility Amendment and/or any amendment to any other Loan Document with the Parent or the applicable Borrowers as may be necessary in order to establish new or any increase in any Classes or sub-Classes in respect of Loans or commitments pursuant to this Section 2.27 and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Parent in connection with the establishment or increase, as applicable, of such Classes or sub-Classes, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.27 (including with respect to the appointment of a Subsidiary Guarantor as a Borrower in respect of such Incremental Facility).

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.27 (including Section 2.27(d)) or in any other provision hereof or of any other Loan Document, if the proceeds of any Incremental Facility are intended to be applied to finance an acquisition or other Investment and the lenders providing such Incremental Facility so agree, the availability thereof shall be subject solely to customary “SunGard” or “certain funds” conditionality (including the making and accuracy of customary specified representations in connection with such acquisition or other Investment).

(i) This Section 2.27 shall supersede any provision in Section 2.19 or 10.1 to the contrary.

2.28 Defaulting Revolving Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

85

(a) commitment fees shall cease to accrue on the Available Revolving Commitment (if any) of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a);

(b) if there are any Swingline Loans outstanding or Letters of Credit outstanding at the time such Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) all or any part of such outstanding Swingline Loans or outstanding Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all outstanding Revolving Extensions of Credit of the Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders does not exceed the total of all Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders (for the avoidance of doubt, no Lender shall be required to make Revolving Extensions of Credit in excess of its Revolving Commitment);

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, each applicable Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the outstanding Swingline Loans (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) and (y) second, (1) if a drawing is made under any Letter of Credit, such Borrower shall reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender in accordance with Section 3.5 and (2) if a Letter of Credit is requested by such Borrower in accordance with Section 3.2 during any period where there is a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, such Borrower shall enter into an arrangement reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender to cover in whole or in part (which such arrangement may include cash collateralization) the exposure of the applicable Issuing Lender related to the participating interests of such Defaulting Lender in such newly issued Letter of Credit (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender or until such Lender is replaced pursuant to Section 2.24;

(iii) if and so long as a Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage of outstanding Letters of Credit pursuant to clause (ii) above, then such Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.3 with respect thereto;

(iv) upon any reallocation described in clause (i) above, the fees payable to the Revolving Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.10(a) and 3.3 shall be adjusted accordingly to re-allocate such fees among the Revolving Lenders which are not Defaulting Lenders; and

(v) if any such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage of outstanding Letters of Credit is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the applicable Issuing Lender or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 3.3 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage of outstanding Letters of Credit shall be payable to the relevant Issuing Lender until such cash collateralization and/or reallocation occurs;

(c) no Swingline Lender shall be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is reasonably satisfied that the related exposure will be covered in whole or in part by the Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral or other arrangements will be provided by each applicable Borrower in accordance with clause (b)(ii) above, and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be (i) allocated among the

86

Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders and/or (ii) covered by arrangements made by each applicable Borrower pursuant to clause (b)(ii) above in a manner consistent with clauses (b)(i) and (ii) (and any such Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein);

(d) the Revolving Commitment and Revolving Extensions of Credit of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or the Majority Facility Lenders under the Revolving Facility have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.1); provided, that this clause (d) shall not apply in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each Lender affected thereby; and

(e) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.7 but excluding Section 2.24) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender and without duplication, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated interest-bearing account reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower(s) and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender hereunder, (iii) third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by an Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, held in such account as cash collateral for existing or (unless such Defaulting Lender has no remaining unutilized Revolving Commitment) future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender in respect of any existing or (unless such Defaulting Lender has no remaining unutilized Revolving Commitment) future participation in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit, (iv) fourth, to the funding of any Revolving Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (v) fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower(s), unless such Defaulting Lender has no remaining unutilized Revolving Commitment, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of any Revolving Loans under this Agreement, (vi) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (vii) seventh, to the payment of any amounts owing to the applicable Borrower(s) as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇(s) against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and (viii) eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, provided, that, with respect to this clause (viii), if such payment is (A) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Revolving Loans or Reimbursement Obligations as to which a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation and (B) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.3 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Revolving Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders under the Revolving Facility pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Revolving Loans of, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender. On the Revolving Termination Date, any remaining amounts not previously applied (except for amounts in connection with clause (vii) above) shall be returned to the applicable Defaulting Lender.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower(s), each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender each reasonably determines that any such Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then (i) the outstanding Swingline Loans and outstanding Letters of Credit of the Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect

87

the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Revolving Percentage and (ii) any arrangements made by the applicable Borrower(s) pursuant to clause (b)(ii) above shall be terminated and any cash collateral or arrangement provided by such Borrower(s) in accordance thereto will be terminated or promptly returned to such Borrower(s), as applicable.

The provisions of this Agreement relating to funding, payment and other matters with respect to the Revolving Facility may be adjusted by the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), to the extent necessary to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.28.

Subject to Section 10.20, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ becoming a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s increased exposure following such reallocation

2.29 Designation of Neogen as a Borrower. The Company shall be permitted, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing: to designate Neogen as a Borrower (effective no earlier than the Merger Effective Time) under the Revolving Facility upon (A) 3 Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (such notice to contain the name, primary business address and taxpayer identification number of Neogen) (a “Notice of Designation”), (B) the execution and delivery by the Company, Neogen and the Administrative Agent of a Joinder Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit D (a “Joinder Agreement”), providing for Neogen to become a Borrower, (C) compliance by the Company and Neogen with Section 6.9(c), (D) delivery by the Company or Neogen of all documentation and information as is reasonably requested in writing by the Lenders at least three days prior to the anticipated effective date of such designation required by U.S. regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti- money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation with respect to Neogen, and (E) upon its reasonable request, the delivery to the Administrative Agent of (1) corporate or other applicable resolutions, incorporation or other applicable constituent documents, officer’s certificates and legal opinions in respect of Neogen in each case reasonably necessary and equivalent to comparable documents delivered on the Closing Date for the Company and (2) such other documents with respect thereto as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

2.30 Refinancing Facilities.

(a) On one or more occasions after the Merger Effective Time, the applicable Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any other bank, financial institution or other institutional lender or investor (other than an Ineligible Institution) that agrees to provide any portion of Refinancing Term Loans or Other Revolving Commitments pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment in accordance with this ‎Section 2.30 (each, an “Additional Refinancing Lender”) (provided that the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Lender, if applicable, shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such Lender’s or Additional Refinancing Lender’s providing such Refinancing Term Loans or Other Revolving Commitments to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under Section 10.6(c) for an assignment of Revolving Commitments or Loans to such Lender or Additional Refinancing Lender), Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of all or any portion of any Class, as selected by the applicable Borrower in its sole discretion, of Term Loans or Revolving Loans (or

88

unused Commitments in respect thereof) then outstanding under this Agreement, in the form of Refinancing Term Loans, Refinancing Term Commitments, Other Revolving Commitments, or Other Revolving Loans; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this ‎Section 2.30 or otherwise, (1) the borrowing and repayment (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Other Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings), (B) repayments required upon the maturity date of the Other Revolving Commitments and (C) repayment made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments (subject to clause ‎(3) below)) of Loans with respect to Other Revolving Commitments after the date of obtaining any Other Revolving Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Commitments, (2) subject to the provisions of ‎Section 2.9(e) and ‎Section 3.9 to the extent dealing with Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit which mature or expire after a maturity date when there exist Other Revolving Commitments with a longer maturity date, all Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Commitments in accordance with their percentage of the Commitments in respect of Revolving Loans (and except as provided in ‎Section 2.9(e) and ‎Section 3.9, without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier maturity date with respect to Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued), (3) the permanent repayment of Revolving Loans with respect to, and termination of, Other Revolving Commitments after the date of obtaining any Other Revolving Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Commitments in respect of Revolving Loans, except that the Parent shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate commitments of any such Class on a better than a pro rata basis as compared to any other Class with a later maturity date than such Class and (4) assignments and participations of Other Revolving Commitments and Other Revolving Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans.

Section 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.1 L/C Commitments.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 3, agrees to issue standby letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of any Borrower (or for the joint and several account of any Borrower and Parent or any of its Subsidiaries) on any Business Day in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided that such Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the then outstanding L/C Obligations of such Issuing Lender would exceed such Issuing Lender’s L/C Commitment then in effect or (ii) such issuance would result in more than a total of 20 Letters of Credit outstanding; provided further that no Issuing Lender shall issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero or (ii) the aggregate undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit and unpaid Reimbursement Obligations under the Revolving Facility would exceed $30,000,000. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in U.S. Dollars or any Foreign Currency and (ii) expire (or be subject to termination by notice from the relevant Issuing Lender to the beneficiary thereof) no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the automatic extension thereof for additional one-year periods (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”) (which shall in no event extend beyond the Letter of Credit Expiration Date except to the extent cash collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable to the relevant Issuing Lender and the applicable Borrower); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must, if requested by the Issuing Lender, permit the Issuing Lender to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued.

(b) No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law or any pre-existing generally applicable internal policies of such Issuing Lender applicable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender.

3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. Any Borrower may from time to time request that any Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may request. Upon receipt of any Application, the relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall any Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the relevant Issuing Lender and the applicable Borrower. The relevant Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the applicable Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof. The relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).

3.3 Fees and Other Charges.

90

(a) Each applicable Borrower will pay a fee on all outstanding Letters of Credit in U.S. Dollars (with respect to any Letters of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency, based on the Dollar Equivalent thereof) issued for the account of such Borrower (or for the joint and several account of such Borrower and any Subsidiary) at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans, as the case may be, at such time under the Revolving Facility, shared ratably among the Revolving Lenders. Such fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition, each applicable Borrower shall pay to the relevant Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum (or such lesser amount separately agreed in writing between the relevant Issuing Lender and the Parent) of the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for the account of such Borrower (or for the joint and several account of such Borrower and any Subsidiary), payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.

(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, each applicable Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower (or for the joint and several account of such Borrower and any Subsidiary).

3.4 L/C Participations.

(a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce such Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from such Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage in such Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit issued for such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the applicable Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender upon demand at such Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount in U.S. Dollars equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage (determined, in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency, on the date such draft is drawn) of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed (whether or not the conditions to Borrowing set forth in Section 5.3 are satisfied) (based on, in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency, the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed). Each L/C Participant’s obligation to purchase participating interests pursuant to this Section 3.4(a) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant or any Borrower may have against any Issuing Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Borrower; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to any Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to such Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period

91

from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the relevant Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the relevant Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility. A certificate of the relevant Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) Whenever, at any time after any Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the applicable Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it.

3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers. Each applicable Borrower agrees to reimburse the relevant Issuing Lender in U.S. Dollars (in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency, in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such draft) no later than the first Business Day following each date on which such Issuing Lender notifies such Borrower of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower (or for the joint and several account of such Borrower and any Subsidiary) and paid by such Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment. Each such payment shall be made to the relevant Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by the applicable Borrower under this Section from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the second Business Day following the date of the applicable drawing, Section 2.16(c) and (ii) thereafter, Section 2.16(d). The Borrowers may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.7 or 2.8 that any payment required pursuant to this Section 3.5 be financed with a Revolving Loan or a Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount (any such Borrowing, a “Letter of Credit Reimbursement Loan”) and, to the extent so financed, the obligation of the Borrowers to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Loan or Swingline Loan.

3.6 Obligations Absolute. Each applicable Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by any Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that any

92

Borrower may have or may have had against any Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person, (v) any waiver by the Issuing Lender of any requirement that exists for the Issuing Lender’s protection and not the protection of any Borrower or any waiver by the Issuing Lender which does not in fact materially prejudice the applicable Borrower, (vi) honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft, or (vii) any payment made by the Issuing Lender in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under, such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the Uniform Commercial Code, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable.

Each Borrower also agrees with each Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and such Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among any Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of any Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender. Each Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, unless taken or omitted with bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be binding on such Borrower and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender to such Borrower. The foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Lender from liability to the applicable Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Lender’s failure to exercise the agreed standard of care as found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that each Issuing Lender shall have exercised the agreed standard of care in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Lender as found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction.

3.7 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall, within a period stipulated by the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit following its receipt of such draft, examine such draft. The Issuing Lender shall, promptly after such examination, notify the applicable Borrower of the date and amount of such draft. The responsibility of the relevant Issuing Lender to any Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. The relevant Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

93

3.8 Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.

3.9 Provisions Related to Letters of Credit in Respect of Extended Revolving Commitments. If the Letter of Credit Expiration Date in respect of any Class, tranche or series of Revolving Commitments occurs prior to the expiry date of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if consented to by the Issuing Lender which issued such Letter of Credit, if one or more other Classes, tranches or series of Revolving Commitments in respect of which the Letter of Credit Expiration Date shall not have so occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit for which consent has been obtained shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Sections ‎3.4 and ‎3.5 under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Commitments in respect of such non-terminating tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of the unutilized Revolving Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause ‎(i), the Parent shall cash collateralize at 101% of the undrawn face amount any such Letter of Credit. Upon the maturity date of any tranche of Revolving Commitments, the sublimit for Letters of Credit may be reduced as agreed between the Issuing Lender and the Parent, without the consent of any other Person.

3.10 Rollover of Existing Letters of Credit. On and after the Merger Effective Time, each letter of credit identified on Schedule 3.10 (each, an “Existing Letter of Credit”) shall be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued hereunder at the Merger Effective Time for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the issuer of each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be an Issuing Lender for all purposes hereunder and under the other Loan Documents with respect to such Existing Letter of Credit.

(d) Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party that is a party thereto. (e) This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in

95

accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

Each of the Parent and its Subsidiaries has title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its material real property and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other property, except where such failure would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.9 Intellectual Property. The Parent and each of its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all material Intellectual Property, other than patents, necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted, and to the Knowledge of the Parent, the Parent and each of its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all material patents necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted, and no claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any such material Intellectual Property (including such patents) or the validity of any such material Intellectual Property (including such patents), nor does the Parent know of any valid basis for any such claim, except, in each of the foregoing cases, as would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No use of Intellectual Property by the Parent and its Subsidiaries infringes on the rights of any Person, except where such use would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
