B. The Borrower has requested that, pursuant to Section 2.26 of the Credit Agreement, immediately after the Tranche J Term Loan Modification (as defined below) and the Tranche I Term Loan Modification (as defined below) the Persons set forth on Schedule I hereto (the “June 2024 Refinancing Term Lenders”) make Refinancing Term Loans to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount of $83,813,956.73 (the “June 2024 Refinancing Term Loans”) on the Amendment No. 16 Effective Date (as defined below).

C. The Tranche J Term Lenders party hereto (the “Accepting Tranche J Term Lenders”) are willing to accept the Tranche J Term Loan Modification Offer and agree to such Permitted Amendments with respect to their Tranche J Term Loans, the Tranche I Term Lenders party hereto (the “Accepting Tranche I Term Lenders” and, together with the Accepting Tranche J Term Lenders, the “June 2024 Accepting Term Lenders”) are willing to accept the Tranche I Term Loan Modification Offer and agree to such Permitted Amendments with respect to $2,643,853,151.34 in aggregate principal amount of their Tranche I Term Loans, and the June 2024 Refinancing Term Lenders are willing to make the June 2024 Refinancing Term Loans to the Borrower on the Amendment No. 16 Effective Date, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Amended Credit Agreement.

Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this agreement (this “Agreement”) (including in the recitals hereto) shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

As used herein, the term “June 2024 Transactions” means, collectively, (a) the execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of this Agreement, (b) the conversion of the Tranche J Term Loans of the Accepting Tranche J Term Lenders into Converted Tranche J Term Loans (as defined below) pursuant to the Tranche J Term Loan Modification Offer (the “Tranche J Term Loan Modification”), (c) the amendment and extension of the Tranche I Term Loans of the Accepting Tranche I Term Lenders by converting into Converted Tranche J Term Loans pursuant to the Tranche I Term Loan Modification Offer (the “Tranche I Term Loan Modification”), (d) the Borrowing of the June 2024 Refinancing Term Loans hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof in accordance with the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement and this Agreement, (e) the amendments to the terms of the Credit Agreement on the Amendment No. 16 Effective Date as provided for herein and (f) the payment of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing.

SECTION 2. Term Loans of June 2024 Accepting Term Lenders. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Amended Credit Agreement, effective upon the Amendment No. 16 Effective Date, all (or such lesser amount as may be notified to such Accepting Tranche J Term Lender by the Agent prior to the Amendment No. 16 Effective Date) of the Tranche J Term Loans of each Accepting Tranche J Term Lender shall be converted into and shall constitute New Tranche J Term Loans (which, pursuant to Section 3(f), shall be designated as “Tranche J Term Loans” on the Amendment No. 16 Effective Date immediately after the consummation of the transactions set forth in Sections 2 and 3 hereof) and shall have the terms applicable to Tranche J Term Loans under the Amended Credit Agreement (the Tranche J Term Loans so converted, the “Converted Tranche J Term Loans”). Unless the context shall otherwise require, the Converted Tranche J Term Loans shall constitute “Tranche J Term Loans” and “Term Loans”, and the Accepting Tranche J Term Lenders shall constitute “Tranche J Term Lenders”, “Term Lenders” and “Lenders”, in each case for all purposes of the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (in each case, after giving effect to the designation of the New Tranche J Term Loans as “Tranche J Term Loans” pursuant to Section 3(f)).

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Amended Credit Agreement, effective upon the Amendment No. 16 Effective Date, all (or such lesser amount as may be notified to such Accepting Tranche I Term Lender by the Agent prior to the Amendment No. 16 Effective Date) of the Tranche I Term Loans of each Accepting Tranche I Term Lender in an aggregate principal amount of up to $2,643,853,151.34 shall be amended and extended by converting into

2

Converted Tranche J Term Loans and shall constitute Tranche J Term Loans under the Amended Credit Agreement and shall have the terms applicable thereto. Unless the context shall otherwise require, the Accepting Tranche I Term Lenders shall constitute “Tranche J Term Lenders”, “Term Lenders” and “Lenders”, in each case for all purposes of the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (in each case, after giving effect to the designation of the New Tranche J Term Loans as “Tranche J Term Loans” pursuant to Section 3(f)). For the avoidance of doubt, all Tranche I Term Loans that are not converted into Tranche J Term Loans pursuant hereto (the “Non-Converted Tranche I Term Loans”) shall, immediately following the effectiveness of the Tranche I Term Loan Modification, continue to be in effect and outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement as Tranche I Term Loans.

SECTION 3. June 2024 Refinancing Term Loan Commitments. (a) Each June 2024 Refinancing Term Lender hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, on the terms set forth herein and in the Amended Credit Agreement and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to make June 2024 Refinancing Term Loans to the Borrower immediately after the effectiveness of the Tranche J Term Loan Modification and the Tranche I Term Loan Modification on the Amendment No. 16 Effective Date in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the amount set forth opposite such June 2024 Refinancing ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s name on Schedule I hereto under the heading “June 2024 Refinancing Term Loan Commitment”. Amounts borrowed under this Section 3(a) and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

(c) The proceeds of the June 2024 Refinancing Term Loans shall be used on the Amendment No. 16 Effective Date, together with cash on hand of the Borrower, solely to prepay Non-Converted Tranche J Term Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement immediately after giving effect to the conversion of the Tranche J Term Loans of the Accepting Tranche J Term Lenders pursuant to Section 2(a) and to pay all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

(d) Unless previously terminated, the commitments of the June 2024 Refinancing Term Lenders pursuant to Section 3(a) shall terminate upon the making of the June 2024 Refinancing Term Loans on the Amendment No. 16 Effective Date.

3

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, after giving effect to the consummation of the June 2024 Transactions on the Amendment No. 16 Effective Date, the Converted Tranche J Term Loans and the June 2024 Refinancing Term Loans shall constitute a single Class of Term Loans under the Amended Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Amended Credit Agreement, the initial Interest Period with respect to each of the Converted Tranche J Term Loans and the June 2024 Refinancing Term Loans shall be the applicable Interest Period set forth therefor in the notice of borrowing delivered by the Borrower to the Agent pursuant to Section 5(d).

(f) Immediately after the consummation of the transactions set forth in Sections 2 and 3, the New Tranche J Term Loans shall be designated as “Tranche J Term Loans” for all purposes of the Amended Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents.

The Board of Directors of the Borrower may designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary only if immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such designation, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”. Unless otherwise specifically indicated, the term “consolidated” with respect to any Person refers to such Person consolidated with its Restricted Subsidiaries, and excludes from such consolidation any Unrestricted Subsidiary as if such Unrestricted Subsidiary were not an Affiliate of such Person. The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall”.

SECTION 1.05. Accounting Terms; GAAP. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP or, if not defined in GAAP (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) as determined by the Borrower in good faith, as in effect from time to time; provided that, to the extent set forth in the definition of “GAAP”, if the Borrower notifies the Agent that the Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the Second Restatement Date in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision thereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith; provided further, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, all leases of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries that were treated as “operating leases” prior to the adoption of ASC 842 shall continue to be accounted for as such for all purposes under the Loan Documents.

SECTION 1.07. Pro Forma Calculations. With respect to any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters during which any Permitted Acquisition or Asset Sale occurs (and for purposes of determining whether an acquisition is a Permitted Acquisition or whether the Borrower may take any actions requiring compliance with a specified ratio), the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio and Consolidated Secured Net Debt Ratio shall be calculated with respect to such period on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Permitted Acquisition or Asset Sale (and any related repayment or incurrence of Indebtedness) (including, without duplication, (a) all pro forma adjustments permitted or required by Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and (b) pro forma adjustments for cost savings and other operating efficiencies (net of continuing associated expenses) to the extent the actions underlying such cost savings and operating efficiencies have been or are reasonably expected to be implemented and such cost savings and operating efficiencies are factually supportable, are expected to have a continuing impact and have been realized or are reasonably expected to be realized within 12 months following such Permitted Acquisition or Asset Sale; provided that all such adjustments shall be set forth in a reasonably detailed certificate of a Financial Officer of the Borrower), using, for purposes of making such calculations, the historical financial statements of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries which shall be reformulated as if such Permitted Acquisition or Asset Sale, and any other Permitted Acquisitions and Asset Sales that have been consummated during the period, had been consummated on the first day of such period.

SECTION 1.08. Exchange Rates. On each Calculation Date, the Agent shall (a) determine the Exchange Rate as of such Calculation Date and (b) give notice thereof to the Borrower and to any Lender that shall have requested a copy of such notice (it being understood that a Lender shall not have the right to independently request a determination of the Exchange Rates), in each case, with respect to each applicable Alternative Currency.

ARTICLE II

The Credits

SECTION 2.01. Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, (i) [reserved], (ii) to make Dollar Revolving Loans to the Borrower, in Dollars, at any time and from time to time on or after the Second Restatement Date, and until the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date with respect to the Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender and the termination of the

66

Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in such Revolving Credit Lender’s Dollar Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment and (iii) to make Multicurrency Revolving Loans to the Borrower, in Dollars or any Alternative Currency, at any time and from time to time on or after the Second Restatement Date, and until the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date with respect to the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender and the termination of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that would not result in such Revolving Credit Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment. Within the limits set forth in the preceding sentence and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(b) Each Lender having an Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the applicable Incremental Revolving Credit Assumption Agreement, to make Incremental Revolving Loans to the Borrower, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in such Lender’s Incremental Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment. Within the limits set forth in the preceding sentence and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Incremental Revolving Loans.

(c) Each Lender having an Incremental Term Loan Commitment hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement, to make Incremental Term Loans to the Borrower, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed its Incremental Term Loan Commitment. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Incremental Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

SECTION 2.02. Loans and Borrowings. (a) Each Loan (other than Swingline Loans) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required. Except for Swingline Loans and Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.02(e), the Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) (A) in the case of a Revolving Borrowing, an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum (except with respect to any Incremental Revolving Credit Borrowing, to the extent otherwise provided in the related Incremental Revolving Credit Assumption Agreement) or (B) in the case of a Term Loan Borrowing, an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than (x) $5,000,000, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing or Term SOFR Borrowing, or (y) $1,000,000, in the case of an ABR Borrowing (except, in each case, with respect to any Incremental Term Borrowing, to the extent otherwise provided in the related Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement) or (ii) in the case of any Borrowing, equal to the remaining

67

available balance of the applicable Commitments; provided that an ABR Borrowing may be maintained in a lesser amount equal to the difference between the aggregate principal amount of all other Borrowings and the total amount of Loans at such time outstanding.

(b) Subject to Sections 2.02(e) and 2.19, (i) each Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Term SOFR Loans, as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith, (ii) each Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than Pounds) shall be comprised entirely of Eurocurrency Loans and (iii) each Borrowing denominated in Pounds shall be comprised entirely of ▇▇▇▇▇ Rate Loans. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurocurrency Loan, Term SOFR Loan or ▇▇▇▇▇ Rate Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that (i) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) in exercising such option, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to minimize any increase in the Eurocurrency Rate or increased costs to the Borrower resulting therefrom (which obligation of such Lender shall not require it to take, or refrain from taking, actions that it determines would result in increased costs for which it will not be compensated hereunder or that it otherwise determines would be disadvantageous to it and in the event of such request for costs for which compensation is provided under this Agreement, the provisions of Section 2.14 shall apply) and (iii) such branch or Affiliate of such Lender would not be included in clause (z) of the first proviso to the definition of the term “Eligible Assignee” set forth in Section 1.01.

(c) Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of ten different Interest Periods in effect in the aggregate for Eurocurrency Borrowings and Term SOFR Borrowings at any time outstanding.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the applicable Term Loan Maturity Date, as the case may be.

(e) If the Issuing Bank shall not have received from the Borrower the payment required to be made by Section 2.23(e) within the time specified in such Section, the Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Agent of the L/C Disbursement and the Agent will promptly notify each applicable Revolving Credit Lender of such L/C Disbursement and its Pro Rata Percentage thereof. Each Revolving Credit Lender of the applicable Class shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars or the applicable Alternative Currency, as applicable, to the Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date (or, if such Revolving Credit Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on any day, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement (it being understood that such amount shall be deemed to constitute an ABR Revolving Loan (in the case of a Dollar L/C Disbursement) or a Eurocurrency Revolving Loan with an Interest Period of one month (in the case of a Multicurrency L/C Disbursement), as the case may be, of such Lender and such payment shall be deemed to have reduced the L/C Exposure), and the Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank amounts so received by it from the Revolving

68

Credit Lenders. The Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.23(e) prior to the time that any Revolving Credit Lender makes any payment pursuant to this paragraph (e); any such amounts received by the Agent thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have made such payments and to the Issuing Bank, as their interests may appear. If any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement available to the Agent as provided above, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with this paragraph to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.12(a), and (ii) in the case of such Lender, (x) for amounts denominated in Dollars, for the first such day, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and for each day thereafter, the Alternate Base Rate and (y) for amounts denominated in an Alternative Currency, for the first such day, a rate determined by the Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds in such Alternative Currency (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), and for each day thereafter, at the higher of such rate and the Alternate Base Rate.

SECTION 2.03. Requests for Borrowing. (a) In order to request a Borrowing (other than a Swingline Loan or a deemed Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(e), as to which this Section 2.03 shall not apply), the Borrower shall notify the Agent of such request either in writing by delivery of a Borrowing Request (by hand or facsimile) signed by the Borrower or by telephone (to be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile of written notice) not later than (x) 11:00 a.m., New York City time, (A) in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days before a proposed Borrowing (or such later time as shall be acceptable to the Agent) and (B) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency or a ▇▇▇▇▇ Rate Loan, four Business Days before a proposed Borrowing (or such later time as shall be acceptable to the Agent) and (y) 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of a proposed Borrowing (or such later time as shall be acceptable to the Agent), in the case of an ABR Borrowing. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.01:

(i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

(ii) the date of the Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a Tranche J Term Borrowing, an Incremental Term Borrowing, a Dollar Revolving Borrowing, a Multicurrency Revolving Borrowing or an Incremental Revolving Credit Borrowing, and whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, a Eurocurrency Borrowing or a Term SOFR Borrowing, as applicable;

(iv) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing or a Term SOFR Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”;

69

(v) in the case of a Multicurrency Revolving Borrowing, the currency in which such Borrowing is to be denominated; and

(vi) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed;

provided, however, that notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02 and Section 2.04.

(b) If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing, if denominated in Dollars, shall be an ABR Borrowing and if denominated in any other currency, shall be a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any Eurocurrency Borrowing or Term SOFR Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. If no currency is specified then the requested Borrowing shall be denominated in Dollars. Promptly following receipt of the Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Except with respect to Swingline Loans and Loans made pursuant to Section 2.02(e), each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by (i) 12:00 (noon), New York City time, in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars or (ii) 9:00 a.m., New York City time, in the case of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, in each case to the account of the Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders.

(b) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has made such share available on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the Borrowing available to the Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the rate determined by the Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds for the applicable currency and the Alternate Base Rate (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments or to prejudice any rights which the Agent or the Borrower or any Loan Party may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

70

SECTION 2.05. Type; Interest Elections. (a) Loans shall initially be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing or Term SOFR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert all or any portion of any Borrowing (subject to the minimum amounts for Borrowings of the applicable Type specified in Section 2.02(c)) to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing or Term SOFR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Agent of such election by telephone (i) in the case of an election to convert to or continue as a Eurocurrency Borrowing not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, four (4) Business Days before the date of the proposed conversion or continuation, (ii) in the case of an election to convert to or continue as a Term SOFR Borrowing, as applicable, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the date of the proposed conversion or continuation or (iii) in the case of an election to convert to or continue as an ABR Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed conversion or continuation (or such later time as shall be acceptable to the Agent). Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Agent and signed by the Borrower.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

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

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

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, a Eurocurrency Borrowing or a Term SOFR Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing or a Term SOFR Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

71

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing or a Term SOFR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

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

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing or a Term SOFR Borrowing, as applicable, prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period (i) any such Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing and (ii) any such Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default of the type set forth in clauses (a) or (b) of Article VII (without giving effect to any grace period set forth therein) has occurred and is continuing and the Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, (x) (A) no outstanding Borrowing denominated in Dollars may be converted to or continued as a Term SOFR Borrowing and (B) unless repaid, each Term SOFR Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto and (y) no Interest Period in excess of one month may be selected for any Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency.

SECTION 2.06. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Revolving Credit Commitments (other than Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, which shall automatically terminate as provided in the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement) and the Swingline Commitment shall automatically terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The L/C Commitment shall automatically terminate on the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) the date that is 30 days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

(b) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written or fax notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed by written notice) to the Agent, the Borrower may, without premium or penalty, at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Term Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments, in each case, of any Class; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of the Term Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, (ii) the Total Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the Aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit Exposure at the time, (iii) the Total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the Aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure at the time, and (iv) the Borrower may condition a notice of termination of all of the Commitments upon the effectiveness of a replacement financing (or other transaction).

(c) Each reduction in the Term Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance

72

with their respective applicable Commitments. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, on the date of termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class, all accrued and unpaid Commitment Fees relating to such Class to but excluding the date of such termination or reduction.

SECTION 2.07. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to each Lender, through the Agent, (i) the principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.08 and (ii) the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender. The Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ from time to time hereunder.

(c) The Agent shall maintain accounts (including the Register maintained pursuant to Section 9.04(b)(iv)) in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class, Type and currency thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in substantially the form of Exhibit F hereto. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein and its registered assigns.

(d) All repayments pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be subject to Section 2.15, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.

SECTION 2.09. Optional Prepayment of Loans. (a) Upon prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section, the Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing of any Class in whole or in part without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.15 and Section 2.09(d)); provided that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000, €100,000 or £100,000 and not less than $500,000, €500,000 or £500,000 (or, with respect to any other Alternative Currency, such minimum and multiple amounts as are reasonably specified by the Agent), as applicable.

(b) The Borrower shall notify the Agent by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Term SOFR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the

76

date of prepayment, (iii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of prepayment, and (iv) in the case of a prepayment of a ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Borrowing, given before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, four Business Days before such prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable (except that any such notice may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of a new financing or other transaction) and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and the Class(es) and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest as required by Section 2.12; provided, however, that in the case of a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan or a Swingline Loan that is not made in connection with a termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount prepaid shall be payable on the next scheduled Interest Payment Date with respect to such ABR Revolving Loan or Swingline Loan.

(c) Optional prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.09(a) shall be applied against the remaining installments of principal in respect of the Class of Term Loans scheduled to be paid as directed by the Borrower.

(d) If, (x) prior to the date that is six months after the Amendment No. 15 Effective Date, in the case of the Tranche I Term Loans, (y) prior to the date that is six months after the Amendment No. 1316 Effective Date, in the case of the Tranche J Term Loans or (z) prior to the date that is six months after the Amendment No. 15 Effective Date, in the case of the Tranche K Term Loans, (i) all or any portion of such Term Loans is prepaid substantially concurrently with the proceeds of, or such Term Loans are converted into, any new or replacement tranche of term loan Indebtedness (including any Incremental Term Loans incurred pursuant to Section 2.22) that has an effective interest rate or weighted average yield (to be determined in the reasonable discretion of the Agent consistent with generally accepted financial practices, after giving effect to margins, interest rate “floors”, upfront or similar fees or original issue discount shared with all lenders or holders thereof, but excluding the effect of any arrangement, structuring, syndication or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all lenders or holders thereof) less than the effective interest rate or weighted average yield (to be determined in the reasonable discretion of the Agent consistent with generally accepted financial practices, on the same basis as above) of such Term Loans being prepaid or converted; provided that, for this clause (d) to apply the primary purpose (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) of such repayment or conversion is to reduce the effective interest rate or weighted average yield (to be determined in the reasonable discretion of the Agent consistent with generally accepted financial practices, on the same basis as above) applicable to the Tranche I Term Loans, the Tranche J Term Loans or the Tranche K Term Loans, as applicable, or (ii) a Non-Consenting Lender must assign its Term Loans of such Class pursuant to Section 9.02(e) or otherwise as a result of its failure to consent to an amendment that is passed and reduces the effective interest rate or weighted average yield (taking into account any interest rate “floor”) then in effect with respect to such Term Loans, then in each case the aggregate principal amount so prepaid, converted, assigned or repaid will be subject to a fee payable by the Borrower equal to 1% of the principal amount thereof.

77

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.09, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, the Borrower may repurchase outstanding Term Loans on the following basis:

(i) the Borrower may make one or more offers (each, an “Offer”) to repurchase all or any portion of the Term Loans (the “Offer Loans”); provided that (A) the Borrower delivers to the Agent (for distribution to such Lenders) a notice of the aggregate principal amount of the Offer Loans that will be subject to such Offer no later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, at least five Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Agent) in advance of the proposed consummation date of such Offer indicating (1) the last date on which such Offer may be accepted, (2) the maximum principal amount of the Offer Loans the Borrower is willing to repurchase in the Offer, (3) the Class of such Offer Loans, (4) the range of discounts to par at which the Borrower is willing to repurchase the Offer Loans and (5) the instructions, consistent with this Section 2.09(e) with respect to the Offer, that a Term Lender must follow in order to have its Offer Loans repurchased; (B) the maximum dollar amount of each Offer shall be no less than $10,000,000 or whole multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; (C) the Borrower shall hold such Offer open for a minimum period of three Business Days; (D) a Term Lender who elects to participate in the Offer may choose to tender all or part of such Term Lender’s Offer Loans; (E) the proceeds of Revolving Loans may not be used to fund any repurchase under this Section 2.09(e); (F) the Offer shall be made to the Term Lenders holding the Offer Loans on a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective principal amount of the Offer Loans then due and owing to the applicable Term Lenders; and (G) the Offer shall be conducted pursuant to such procedures as the Agent may reasonably establish; and

(ii) following a repurchase pursuant to this Section 2.09(e) by the Borrower, (A) the Offer Loans so repurchased shall, without further action by any Person, be deemed cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding for all purposes of this Agreement and all the other Loan Documents and (B) the Borrower will promptly advise the Agent of the total amount of Offer Loans that were repurchased from each Lender who elected to participate in the Offer.

SECTION 2.10. Mandatory Prepayment of Loans. (a) In the event of any termination of all the Revolving Credit Commitments of a Class, the Borrower shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all its outstanding Revolving Credit Borrowings of such Class and (solely in the case of a termination of all Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments) all outstanding Swingline Loans, and replace all (or make other arrangements, including providing cash collateral or a supporting letter of credit, acceptable to the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, with respect thereto) outstanding Letters of Credit issued thereunder. If as a result of any partial reduction of the Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments or the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments, the Aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit Exposure or the Aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure, as applicable, would exceed the Total Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment or the Total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment, as applicable, after giving effect thereto, then the Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction, repay or prepay Revolving Credit Borrowings in respect of the Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments or the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable (or, if

78

applicable, Swingline Loans (or a combination thereof)) and/or replace outstanding (or make such other arrangement with respect to) Letters of Credit issued thereunder in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(b) Upon the consummation of an Asset Sale, the Borrower shall apply an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale within 545 days (or such lesser number of days that may be applicable to the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Sale under any agreement governing Specified Secured Indebtedness) of receipt thereof either (i) to prepay Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(g) (provided that, if at the time of such prepayment, any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds is also required to be used to prepay, or to make an offer to prepay, any Specified Secured Indebtedness, then the Borrower shall only be required to prepay the Term Loans under this Section 2.10(b) with such Net Cash Proceeds equally and ratably with such Specified Secured Indebtedness); or (ii) to reinvest in Productive Assets (provided that this requirement shall be deemed satisfied if the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary by the end of such 545-day period has entered into a binding agreement under which it is contractually committed to reinvest in Productive Assets and such investment is consummated within 120 days from the date on which such binding agreement is entered into); or (iii) a combination of prepayment and investment permitted by the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii).

(c) If as a result of any fluctuation of Exchange Rates, on any Calculation Date, the Aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment, then the Borrower shall, within three Business Days following such Calculation Date, repay or prepay Multicurrency Revolving Credit Borrowings or Swingline Loans (or a combination thereof) and/or replace outstanding (or make such other arrangement with respect to) Multicurrency Letters of Credit such that the Aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure does not exceed the Total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment.

(d) No later than the earlier of (i) ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower, commencing with the fiscal year ending on September 30, 2014 (but not including the fiscal year ending on September 30, 2023), and (ii) the date on which the financial statements with respect to such period are delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a), the Borrower shall prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(g) in an aggregate principal amount equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year then ended, minus Voluntary Prepayments made during such fiscal year; provided (x) that the amount of such prepayment shall be reduced to 25% of such Excess Cash Flow if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio at the end of such fiscal year shall be equal to or less than 5.00 to 1.00, but greater than 4.50 to 1.00, and (y) such prepayment shall not be required if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio at the end of such fiscal year shall be equal to or less than 4.50 to 1.00.

(e) In the event that any Loan Party or any subsidiary of a Loan Party shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness for money borrowed of any Loan Party or any subsidiary of a Loan Party (other than Permitted Indebtedness), the Borrower shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the third Business Day next following) the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by such Loan Party or such

79

subsidiary, apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(g).

(f) With respect to mandatory prepayments of outstanding Term Loans under this Agreement made pursuant to this Section 2.10, each Term Lender may elect, by written notice to the Agent at the time and in the manner specified by the Agent, to decline all (but not less than all) of its pro rata share of such Term Loan prepayment, in which case the amounts so rejected may be retained by the Borrower.

(g) The Borrower shall deliver to the Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.10, (i) a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable, at least three (3) days’ prior written notice of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the Type of each Loan being prepaid and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest as required by Section 2.12. All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.10 shall be subject to Section 2.15, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.

(h) Mandatory prepayments of outstanding Term Loans under this Agreement shall be allocated ratably among the Tranche I Term Loans, the Tranche J Term Loans, the Tranche K Term Loans and the Other Term Loans, if any, and shall be applied against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Tranche I Term Loans, the Tranche J Term Loans, the Tranche K Term Loans and the Other Term Loans as directed by the Borrower; provided that, if at the time of any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.10 there shall be Term Borrowings of different Types or Eurodollar Term Borrowings with different Interest Periods, and if some but not all Term Lenders shall have accepted such mandatory prepayment, then the aggregate amount of such mandatory prepayment shall be allocated ratably to each outstanding Term Borrowing of the accepting Term Lenders. If no Term Lenders exercise the right to waive a given mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(f), then, with respect to such mandatory prepayment, the amount of such mandatory prepayment shall be applied first to Term Loans that are ABR Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Term Loans that are Eurodollar Loans in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.15.

SECTION 2.11. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender, through the Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December in each year and on each date on which any Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Rate per annum in effect from time to time on the daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender (other than the Swingline Commitment) during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing with the Closing Date or ending with the applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender shall expire or be terminated, as applicable). All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. The Commitment Fee due to each Lender shall commence to accrue on the Closing Date and shall cease to accrue on the date on

80

which the Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as provided herein. For purposes of calculating Commitment Fees only, no portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be deemed utilized as a result of outstanding Swingline Loans.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for its own account, the agency fees set forth in the Engagement Letter, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, or such agency fees as may otherwise be separately agreed upon by the Borrower and the Agent payable in the amounts and at the times specified therein or as so otherwise agreed upon (the “Agent Fees”).

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to each Dollar Revolving Credit and Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender through the Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the applicable Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein, a fee (an “L/C Participation Fee”) calculated on such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the daily aggregate Dollar L/C Exposure or Multicurrency L/C Exposure, respectively (excluding the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) during the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the Closing Date or ending with the applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the date on which all Letters of Credit issued under the applicable Class have been canceled or have expired and the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders of the applicable Class shall have been terminated) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate from time to time used to determine the interest rate on Revolving Credit Borrowings of the applicable Class comprised of Eurocurrency Loans pursuant to Section 2.12, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank, with respect to each Letter of Credit, a fronting fee at a rate to be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Issuing Bank on the aggregate outstanding face amount of such Letter of Credit, and the standard issuance and drawing fees specified from time to time by the Issuing Bank (the “Issuing Bank Fees”). All L/C Participation Fees and Issuing Bank Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that the Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the Issuing Bank. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances absent manifest error in the calculation of such fees.

SECTION 2.12. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing, including each Dollar Swingline Loan, shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) (i) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing, including each Alternative Currency Swingline Loans, shall bear interest at the Adjusted EURIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(ii) The Loans comprising each Term SOFR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted Term SOFR for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

81

(iii) The Loans comprising each ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 days) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (x) Daily Simple ▇▇▇▇▇ and (y) the Applicable Rate for such Loans in effect from time to time.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default referred to in paragraphs (a), (b), (f) and (g) of Article VII, at the written request of the Required Lenders, any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder shall bear interest, payable on demand, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.12(c) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Agent or any Lender.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable to the applicable Lenders, through the Agent, in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment (except in the case of a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan or a Swingline Loan that is not made in connection with a termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments) and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan or any Term SOFR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that (i) interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate and (ii) interest with respect to Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Pounds shall, in each case, be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted EURIBO Rate, EURIBO Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR or ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ shall be determined by the Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes (as defined in Section 2.21) from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

SECTION 2.13. [Reserved].

82

SECTION 2.14. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or the Issuing Bank (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted EURIBO Rate or the Adjusted Term SOFR, as applicable);

(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the applicable interbank market any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans or Term SOFR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

(iii) subject any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Agent to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes and Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Agent of making, continuing, converting to or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan or Term SOFR Loan, as applicable, or increase the cost to any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Agent of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or purchasing or maintaining a participation therein or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Agent hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, following delivery of the certificate contemplated by paragraph (c) of this Section, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Agent, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Agent for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made or participations in Letters of Credit purchased by such Lender pursuant hereto or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law other than due to Taxes, which shall be dealt with exclusively pursuant to Section 2.16 (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time following delivery of the certificate contemplated by paragraph (c) of this Section the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

83

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

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.14 shall apply to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy or liquidity issued in connection with the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy or liquidity promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority) of the United States or foreign financial regulatory authorities, regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented.

SECTION 2.15. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan or any Term SOFR Loan, as applicable, other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan or any Term SOFR Loan, as applicable, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan or any Term SOFR Loan, as applicable, other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan or any Term SOFR Loan, as applicable, or on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan or any Term SOFR Loan, as applicable, other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan or a Term SOFR Loan, as applicable, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall not include loss of profit or margin and shall be deemed to be the amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted EURIBO Rate or the Adjusted Term SOFR that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest

84

rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the applicable interbank market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section and the basis therefor and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts was determined shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.16. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law; provided that if an 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, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such tax is an Indemnified Tax or an Other Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all such required deductions or withholdings (including such deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the Agent, Lender or the Issuing Bank (as applicable) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. If at any time a Loan Party is required by applicable law to make any deduction or withholding from any sum payable hereunder, such Loan Party shall promptly notify the relevant Lender, Agent or the Issuing Bank upon becoming aware of the same. In addition, each Lender, Agent or the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify a Loan Party upon becoming aware of any circumstances as a result of which a Loan Party is or would be required to make any deduction or withholding from any sum payable hereunder.

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

(c) Each Loan Party shall indemnify the Agent and each Lender or the Issuing Bank, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of such Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses (other than those incurred as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of (i) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such

85

Lender, (ii) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), and (iii) any Taxes attributable to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Excluded 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 a Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(f) (i) Any Lender or Issuing Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or as reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or as reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Lender or Issuing Bank shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Lender or Issuing Bank becomes a party hereto, two duly signed, properly completed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) in the case of a Lender or Issuing Bank that is not a Foreign Lender, IRS Form W-9;

(B) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (1) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender for whom payments under any Loan Document constitute income that is effectively connected with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, IRS Form W-8ECI;

86

(D) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, and (2) a certificate (a “U.S. Tax Certificate”) to the effect that such Lender is not (a) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (b) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, (c) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (d) conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected;

(E) in the case of a Foreign Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under any Loan Document (including a partnership or a Participant) (1) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D), (F) and (G) of this paragraph (f)(ii) that would be required of each such beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender; provided, however, that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Certificate on behalf of such partners;

(F) if a payment made to a Lender or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to any withholding Taxes as a result of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s or Issuing Bank’s failure to comply with the requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding 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 Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender or Issuing Bank has or has not complied with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s or Issuing Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment, it being understood that, solely for purposes of this clause (F), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Second Restatement Date; or

(G) any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld.

(iii) Thereafter and from time to time, each Foreign Lender shall (A) promptly submit to the Borrower and the Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one or more of forms or certificates described in Section 2.16(f)(ii)(A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F) or (G) above (or such successor forms or certificates as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States Laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent of any available exemption from,

87

or reduction of, United States withholding Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower or other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement, or any other Loan Document, in each case, (1) on or before the date that any such form, certificate or other evidence expires or becomes obsolete, (2) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form, certificate or evidence previously delivered by it to the Borrower and (3) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, and (B) promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

(g) If the Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank determines, in good faith in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which such Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall pay over such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as is determined by the Agent, such Lender, or the Issuing Bank in good faith in its sole discretion, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank in the event the Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to such Loan Party or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank be required to pay any amount to any Loan Party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, in a less favorable net after-Tax position than it 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.

(h) If the Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes for which additional amounts have been paid under this Section 2.16, the relevant Lender, the Agent or the Issuing Bank shall reasonably cooperate with the Borrower in challenging such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, at the Borrower’s expense, if reasonably requested by the Borrower in writing.

(i) For purposes of this Section 2.16, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

SECTION 2.17. Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) Unless otherwise specified, the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder and under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of

88

amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) (i) with respect to payments of amounts denominated in Dollars, prior to 12:00 (noon), New York City time, and (ii) with respect to payments of amounts denominated in an Alternative Currency, prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, in each case on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments (other than (i) Issuing Bank Fees, which shall be paid directly to the Issuing Bank, and (ii) principal of and interest on Swingline Loans, which shall be paid directly to the Swingline Lender except as otherwise provided in Section 2.22(f)) shall be made to the Agent to the applicable account designated to the Borrower by the Agent, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it, except as otherwise provided, for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, if any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder in respect of any Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made in such Alternative Currency, and all payments hereunder in respect of any Loan denominated in Dollars shall be made in Dollars. Unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and each applicable Lender with respect to such payment, all other payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Agent to make such payment.

(b) [Intentionally Omitted.]

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or any of its L/C Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon and L/C Disbursements than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and L/C Disbursements of other Lenders at such time outstanding to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and L/C Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or L/C Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to Holdings, the Borrower or any subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply, except as otherwise contemplated by Section 2.09(e)). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements

89

may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

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

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.04(a), 2.17(c) or 9.03(c), then the Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

(f) Except as otherwise provided herein, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Commitment Fees or the L/C Participation Fees, each reduction of the Term Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements, as applicable). Each Lender agrees that in computing such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount.

SECTION 2.18. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to indemnify or pay any additional amount to any Lender or the Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans or issuing Letters of Credit hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or the Issuing Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender or the Issuing Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the Issuing Bank in any material respect. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the Issuing Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.

90

(b) In the event (i) any Lender or the Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) the Borrower is required to indemnify or pay any additional amount to any Lender or the Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.16 or (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender or the Issuing Bank and the Agent, replace such Lender or the Issuing Bank by requiring such Lender or the Issuing Bank to assign and delegate (and such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall be obligated to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement of the applicable Class to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Disbursements of the applicable Class, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (ii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender or the Issuing Bank shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or the Issuing Bank or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.19. Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loans or any Term SOFR Loans, as applicable, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Loans or Term SOFR Loans, as applicable, or to convert ABR Borrowings to Eurocurrency Borrowings or Term SOFR Loans, as applicable, shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), either convert all Eurocurrency Loans and all Term SOFR Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans (at the Dollar Equivalent for the date of conversion, as determined by the Agent, for Eurocurrency Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Loans or Term SOFR Loans, as applicable, to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the determination of such Lender, otherwise be disadvantageous to it.

SECTION 2.20. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.21. Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.

(a) [Reserved].

91

(b) The Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, (i) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the Alternate Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, the Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR, Daily Simple ▇▇▇▇▇, the Adjusted EURIBO Rate or the EURIBO Rate or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, the Alternate Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, the Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR, Daily Simple ▇▇▇▇▇, the Adjusted EURIBO Rate or the EURIBO Rate or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes. The Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the Alternate Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, the Adjusted Term SOFR, Daily Simple ▇▇▇▇▇, the EURIBO Rate, the Adjusted EURIBO Rate, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Alternate Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, the Adjusted Term SOFR, Daily Simple ▇▇▇▇▇, the EURIBO Rate, the Adjusted EURIBO Rate or any other Benchmark, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to 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.

(c) Subject to Sections 2.21(d), (e), (f), (g) and (h), if (A) on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Term SOFR Loan or Eurocurrency Loan or (B) at any time, with respect to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Loans:

(i) the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR”, “Daily Simple ▇▇▇▇▇” or the “Adjusted EURIBO Rate” cannot be determined pursuant to the definitions thereof, or

(ii) the Lenders comprising the Required Class Lenders of each affected Class determine that for any reason (A) in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan or Eurocurrency Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Adjusted Term SOFR or the Adjusted EURIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan or Eurocurrency Loan or (B) at any time in connection with any ▇▇▇▇▇ Rate Loan, that the Daily Simple ▇▇▇▇▇ with respect to such ▇▇▇▇▇ Rate Loan, in each case, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such Loan, and such Required Class Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Agent, then, in each case, the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.

92

Upon notice thereof by the Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make Term SOFR Loans, ▇▇▇▇▇ Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, as applicable, and any right of the Borrower to continue Term SOFR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, as applicable, or to convert ABR Loans to Term SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loan, ▇▇▇▇▇ Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, as applicable, or affected Interest Periods) until the Agent (with respect to clause (ii), at the instruction of the Required Class Lenders of each affected Class) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) in the case of Term SOFR Loans, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods), or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into ABR Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period and (y) in the case of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of ▇▇▇▇▇ Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans (to the extent of the affected ▇▇▇▇▇ Rate Loans, Eurocurrency Loans or affected Interest Periods), or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of ABR Loans denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected ▇▇▇▇▇ Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, at the Borrower’s election, shall either be (A) deemed to have been converted into a borrowing of ABR Loans denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such outstanding Eurocurrency Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Loans, on the next Business Day following notification by the Agent) or (B) prepaid at the end of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Loans, on the next Business Day following notification by the Agent) in full; provided that if no election is made by the Borrower by the earlier of the date that is (1) three Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of such notice and (2) the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (A) above. Upon any such conversion described in this clause (c), the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.15. In the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, subject to Sections 2.21(d), (e), (f), (g) and (h), if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on ABR Loans shall be determined by the Agent without reference to clause (d)(1) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate” until the Agent revokes such determination.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of any then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan

93

Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders and the Borrower 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 Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Class Lenders of each affected Class. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.

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

(f) The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.21(g) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.21, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.21.

(g) 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 Term SOFR Reference Rate or the EURIBO 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 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 not or will not be representative, then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(h) Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (x) in the case of Term SOFR Loans, (i) the Borrower may

94

revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans and (ii) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted to ABR Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period and (y) in the case of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Loans or Eurocurrency Loans (to the extent of the affected ▇▇▇▇▇ Rate Loans, Eurocurrency Loans or affected Interest Periods), or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of ABR Loans denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected ▇▇▇▇▇ Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, at the Borrower’s election, shall either be (A) deemed to have been converted into a borrowing of ABR Loans denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such outstanding Eurocurrency Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Loans, on the next Business Day following notification by the Agent) or (B) prepaid at the end of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Loans, on the next Business Day following notification by the Agent) in full; provided that if no election is made by the Borrower by the earlier of the date that is (1) three Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of such notice and (2) the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (A) above. In the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, during a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Alternate Base Rate.

(i) As used in this Section 2.21:

“Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, (x) if such Benchmark is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining the length of an interest period pursuant to this Agreement or (y) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining any frequency of making payments of interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to Section 2.21(g).

“Benchmark” means, (a) with respect to Loans denominated in Dollars, initially, the Term SOFR Reference Rate; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to the Term SOFR Reference Rate or the then-current Benchmark with respect to Loans denominated in Dollars, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to Section 2.21(d), (b) with respect to Loans denominated in Pounds, Daily Simple ▇▇▇▇▇, and (c) with respect to Loans denominated in Euros, the EURIBO Rate.

“Benchmark Replacement” means, with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Agent for

95

the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date; provided that, in the case of any Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, “Benchmark Replacement” shall mean the alternative set forth in clause (b) below:

(a) in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, the Daily Simple SOFR; or

(b) the sum of: (i) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Agent and the Borrower giving due consideration to (A) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (B) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for syndicated credit facilities denominated in the applicable currency and (ii) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above would be less than 0.00%, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be 0.00% for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Agent and the Borrower giving due consideration to (a) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body or (b) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for syndicated credit facilities denominated in the applicable currency at such time.

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

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

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

96

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

“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(a) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

(b) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

(c) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative.

For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means, with respect to any Benchmark, the period (if any) (a) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.21 and (b) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.21.

“Conforming Changes” means, with respect to either the use or administration of Adjusted Term SOFR or the use, administration, adoption or implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the

97

definition of “Alternate Base Rate”, the definition of “Business Day”, the definition of “U.S. Government Securities Business Day”, the definition of “Interest Period” or any similar or analogous definition (or the addition of a concept of “interest period”), timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, the applicability and length of lookback periods, the applicability of Section 2.15 and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of any such rate or to permit the use and administration thereof by the Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, determines that no market practice for the administration of any such rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

“Daily Simple SOFR” means, for any day, SOFR, with the conventions for this rate (which will include a lookback) being established by the Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, in accordance with the conventions for this rate selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for determining “Daily Simple SOFR” for syndicated business loans; provided, that if the Agent decides that any such convention is not administratively feasible for the Agent, then the Agent may establish another convention in its reasonable discretion, which shall be consistent with the then prevailing market conditions.

“Relevant Governmental Body” means the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or any successor thereto.

“SOFR” means a rate equal to the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the SOFR Administrator.

“SOFR Administrator” means the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor administrator of the secured overnight financing rate).

“Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement excluding the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

SECTION 2.22. Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, the Swingline Lender agrees to make loans to the Borrower in Dollars and Alternative Currencies at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date and until the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the termination of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans exceeding $25,000,000 (or the Alternative Currency Equivalent thereof) in the aggregate or (ii) the Aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure, after giving effect to any Swingline Loan, exceeding the Total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment. Each Swingline Loan shall be in a principal amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $100,000, in the case of a Dollar Swingline Loans, or in such minimum and multiple amounts as the Swingline Lender

98

shall reasonably specify with respect to any Alternative Currency, in the case of an Alternative Currency Swingline Loan. The Swingline Commitment may be terminated or reduced from time to time as provided herein. Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans hereunder, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein.

(b) The Borrower shall notify the Swingline Lender by fax, or by telephone (confirmed by fax), not later than (i) 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the day of a proposed Dollar Swingline Loan or (ii) 12:00 (noon), New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed Alternative Currency Swingline Loan. Such notice shall be delivered on a Business Day, shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount and currency of such Swingline Loan, the Interest Period for any requested Alternative Currency Swingline Loan and the wire transfer instructions for the account of the Borrower to which the proceeds of such Swingline Loan should be transferred. The Swingline Lender shall promptly make each Swingline Loan by wire transfer to the account specified by the Borrower in such request.

(c) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Swingline Loan, in whole or in part, upon giving written or fax notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed by written notice) to the Swingline Lender and to the Agent before 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the date of prepayment at the Swingline Lender’s address for notices specified in its Administrative Questionnaire. Any payment of an Alternative Currency Swingline Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor shall be subject to Section 2.15.

(d) Each Dollar Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan and, subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(c), shall bear interest at the rate provided for the ABR Revolving Loans as provided in Section 2.12(a). Each Alternative Currency Swingline Loan shall be a Eurocurrency Loan and, subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(c), shall bear interest as provided in Section 2.12(b); provided that any Alternative Currency Swingline Loan that cannot be continued as a Eurocurrency Loan by virtue of Section 2.02(d) shall, at the Borrower’s option, be repaid on the last day of the Interest Period therefor or if not so repaid, converted to a Dollar Swingline Loan at the Dollar Equivalent in effect for such day as determined by the Agent.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any reduction of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments made pursuant to Section 2.06 which reduces the Total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment to an amount less than the then current amount of the Swingline Commitment shall result in an automatic corresponding reduction of the Swingline Commitment such that the amount thereof equals the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment, as so reduced, without any further action on the part of the Borrower, the Agent or the Swingline Lender.

(f) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding; provided that any such participations shall be allocated ratably to each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender according to the Pro Rata Percentages of such

99

Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender. In order to effectuate the foregoing, on the date of such notice, all outstanding Multicurrency Swingline Loans shall be converted to Dollar Swingline Loans at the Exchange Rate in effect on such date. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lenders will participate. The Agent will, promptly upon receipt of such notice, give notice to each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Revolving Credit ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans in Dollars. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.04(a) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.04(a) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders) and the Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made in Dollars to the Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Agent; any such amounts received by the Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower (or other party liable for obligations of the Borrower) of any default in the payment thereof.

(g) The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and such Revolving Credit Lender, designate one or more Revolving Credit Lenders to act as the swingline lender under the terms of this Agreement. Any Revolving Credit Lender designated as the swingline lender pursuant to this paragraph (g) shall be deemed to be the “Swingline Lender” (in addition to being a Revolving Credit Lender) in respect of Swingline Loans made or to be made by such Revolving Credit Lender.

SECTION 2.23. Letters of Credit. (a) The Borrower may request the issuance of a Letter of Credit for its own account or for the account of any Subsidiary, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time while the L/C Commitments remain in effect as set forth in Section 2.06(a). Any Dollar Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars, and any Multicurrency Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency. This Section shall not be construed to impose an obligation upon the Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit that is inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to

100

the contrary, on the Amendment No. 14 Effective Date, all Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Dollar Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement as of the Amendment No. 14 Effective Date.

(b) In order to request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or to amend, renew or extend an existing Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or fax to the Issuing Bank and the Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) below), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, whether such Letter of Credit is to be a Dollar Letter of Credit or a Multicurrency Letter of Credit and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare such Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly (i) notify the Agent in writing of the amount and expiry date of each Letter of Credit issued by it and (ii) provide a copy of each such Letter of Credit (and any amendments, renewals or extensions thereof) to the Agent. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if, and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (x) in the case of any Dollar Letter of Credit, (A) the Dollar L/C Exposure shall not exceed $100,000,000 and (B) the Aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Total Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment and (y) in the case of any Multicurrency Letter of Credit, (A) the Multicurrency L/C Exposure shall not exceed $25,000,000 and (B) the Aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that the maximum aggregate face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by Royal Bank of Canada and its Affiliates shall not exceed (i) in the case of Dollar Letters of Credit, $10,000,000 and (ii) in the case of Multicurrency Letters of Credit, $2,500,000, in each case, unless Royal Bank of Canada shall otherwise agree. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of each applicable Class of the issuance, amendment, renewal, expiration or termination of any Letter of Credit thereunder and, upon request by such Revolving Credit Lender, furnish to such Lender details of such Letter of Credit and the amount of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s participation therein.

(c) Each Letter of Credit shall expire at the close of business on the earlier of the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or such later date as is acceptable to the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion) and the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, unless such Letter of Credit expires by its terms on an earlier date; provided that a Letter of Credit may, upon the request of the Borrower, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional consecutive periods of 12 months or less (but not beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date) unless the Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof at least 30 days prior to the then-applicable expiration date that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed.

(d) By the issuance of a Dollar Letter of Credit and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender, and each such Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a

101

participation in such Dollar Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Dollar Letter of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such Dollar Letter of Credit. By the issuance of a Multicurrency Letter of Credit and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender, and each such Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Multicurrency Letter of Credit, payable in the applicable currency, equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Multicurrency Letter of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender and each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of each Dollar L/C Disbursement or Multicurrency L/C Disbursement, as applicable, made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower (or, if applicable, another party pursuant to its obligations under any other Loan Document) forthwith on the date due as provided in Section 2.02(e). The participations provided for in this Section 2.23(d) and the reimbursements provided for in Section 2.23(e) shall be allocated ratably to each Revolving Credit Lender of the applicable Class according to the Pro Rata Percentages of each such Revolving Credit Lender. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) If the Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent (or directly to the Issuing Bank, with concurrent notice to the Agent) an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement on or prior to the Business Day following the day on which the Borrower shall have received notice from the Issuing Bank that payment of such draft will be made.

(f) The Borrower’s obligations to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, and irrespective of:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein;

(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;

(iii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank, the Agent or any Lender or any other person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;

102

(iv) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(v) payment by the Issuing Bank 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; and

(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuing Bank, the Lenders, the Agent or any other Person or 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 the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that the absolute and unconditional obligation of the Borrower hereunder to reimburse L/C Disbursements will not be excused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Issuing Bank. However, the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof; it is understood that the Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit (i) the Issuing Bank’s exclusive reliance on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever and (ii) any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute wilful misconduct or gross negligence of the Issuing Bank.

(g) The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall as promptly as possible give telephonic notification, confirmed by fax, to the Agent and the Borrower of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement. The Agent shall promptly give each applicable Revolving Credit Lender notice thereof.

103

(h) If the Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on such date, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest for the account of the Issuing Bank, for each day from and including the date of such L/C Disbursement, to but excluding the earlier of the date of payment by the Borrower and the date on which interest shall commence to accrue thereon as provided in Section 2.02(e), at the rate per annum that would apply to such amount if such amount were an ABR Revolving Loan.

(i) The Issuing Bank may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, and may be removed at any time by the Borrower by notice to the Issuing Bank, the Agent and the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Issuing Bank hereunder by a Lender that shall agree to serve as successor Issuing Bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the interests, rights and obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank and the retiring Issuing Bank shall be discharged from its obligations to issue additional Letters of Credit hereunder. At the time such removal or resignation shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid fees pursuant to Section 2.11(c)(ii). The acceptance of any appointment as the Issuing Bank hereunder by a successor ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a form satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such successor Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the previous Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation or removal of the Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or removal, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Borrower shall, on the Business Day it receives notice from the Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Credit Lenders holding participations in outstanding Letters of Credit representing greater than 50% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit) thereof and of the amount to be deposited, deposit in an account with the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the L/C Exposure as of such date; provided, however, that the obligation to deposit such cash shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (f) or (g) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits in Permitted Investments, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall (i) automatically be applied by the Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, (ii) be held for the satisfaction of the

104

reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the L/C Exposure at such time and (iii) if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Credit Lenders holding participations in outstanding Letters of Credit representing greater than 50% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit), be applied to satisfy the Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(k) The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and such Lender, designate one or more additional Lenders to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement. Any Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this paragraph (k) shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Bank” (in addition to being a Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term shall thereafter apply to the other Issuing Bank and such Lender.

(l) The Borrower, the Issuing Banks and the Agent may agree to such additional provisions with respect to Letters of Credit and such provisions shall be deemed to be incorporated into this Section 2.23 so long as such additional provisions are not adverse to any Revolving Credit Lender.

SECTION 2.24. Increase in Commitments. (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Agent from time to time, request Incremental Term Loan Commitments and Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments in amounts that would not cause the limitations set forth in clauses (iii) or (iv) of Section 2.24(c) to be exceeded, from one or more Incremental Term Lenders or Incremental Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, which may include any existing Lender (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion); provided that each Incremental Term Lender and Incremental Revolving Credit Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $10,000,000), (ii) the date on which such Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice, unless otherwise agreed to by the Agent) and (iii) (x) whether such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are to be Commitments to make Term Loans or commitments to make term loans with terms different from the Term Loans (“Other Term Loans”) and (y) whether such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments are to be Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments, Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments or commitments to make revolving loans with terms different from the Revolving Loans made pursuant to both such Classes (“Other Revolving Loans”).

(b) The Borrower may seek Incremental Term Loan Commitments and Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments from existing Lenders (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion) and additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders who will become Incremental Term Lenders and/or

105

Incremental Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, in connection therewith. The Borrower and each Incremental Term Lender shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such Incremental Term Lender. The Borrower and each Incremental Revolving Credit Lender shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Incremental Revolving Credit Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment of such Incremental Revolving Credit Lender. Each Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement and Incremental Revolving Credit Assumption Agreement shall specify the terms of the Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Loans, as applicable, to be made thereunder; provided that, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, (i) the final maturity date of any Other Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date with respect to any Term Loans and the final maturity date of any Other Revolving Loans shall be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date with respect to Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) the average life to maturity of any Other Term Loans shall be no shorter than the average life to maturity of any Class of Term Loans; and provided further that, if the initial yield on such Other Term Loans (as determined by the Agent to be equal to the sum of (x) the margin above the Adjusted EURIBO Rate or the Adjusted Term SOFR, as applicable, on such Other Term Loans (which shall be increased by the amount that any interest rate “floor” applicable to such Other Term Loans on the date such Other Term Loans are made would exceed the Adjusted EURIBO Rate (without giving effect to clause (a) in the definition thereof) that would be in effect for a three-month Interest Period commencing on such date or the Adjusted Term SOFR that would be in effect for a three-month Interest Period commencing on such date, as applicable) and (y) if such Other Term Loans are initially made at a discount or the Lenders making the same receive an upfront fee (other than a customary arrangement or underwriting fee) directly or indirectly from Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary (the amount of such discount or upfront fee, expressed as a percentage of the Other Term Loans, being referred to herein as “OID”), the amount of such OID divided by the lesser of (x) the average life to maturity of such Other Term Loans and (y) four) exceeds by more than 50 basis points the sum of (A) the margin then in effect for Eurocurrency Term Loans or Term SOFR Loans of any Class (which, with respect to the Term Loans of any such Class, shall be the sum of the Applicable Rate then in effect for such Eurocurrency Term Loans or Term SOFR Loans of such Class increased by the amount that any interest rate “floor” applicable to such Eurocurrency Term Loans or Term SOFR Loans of such Class on the date such Other Term Loans are made would exceed the Adjusted EURIBO Rate (without giving effect to clause (a) in the definition thereof) that would be in effect for a three-month Interest Period commencing on such date or the Adjusted Term SOFR that would be in effect for a three-month Interest Period commencing on such date, as applicable) plus (B) one-quarter of the amount of OID initially paid in respect of the Term Loans of such Class (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the “Yield Differential”), then the Applicable Rate then in effect for each such affected Class of Term Loans shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential, effective upon the making of the Other Term Loans; provided, however, that, (1) solely with respect to the Tranche I Term Loans, the immediately foregoing proviso shall not apply to Other Term Loans (I) incurred in connection with a Permitted Acquisition or similar Permitted Investment, (II) incurred after the date that is eighteen months after the Amendment No. 15 Effective Date or (III) with a final maturity date after the date that is eighteen months after the Tranche I Maturity Date, (2) solely with respect to

106

the Tranche J Term Loans, the immediately foregoing proviso shall not apply to Other Term Loans (I) incurred in connection with a Permitted Acquisition or similar Permitted Investment, (II) incurred after the date that is eighteen months after the Amendment No. 16 Effective Date or (III) with a final maturity date after the date that is eighteen months after the Tranche J Maturity Date and (3) solely with respect to the Tranche K Term Loans, the immediately foregoing proviso shall not apply to Other Term Loans (I) incurred in connection with a Permitted Acquisition or similar Permitted Investment, (II) incurred after the date that is eighteen months after the Amendment No. 15 Effective Date or (III) with a final maturity date after the date that is eighteen months after the Tranche K Maturity Date, and (b) the Applicable Rate with respect to any Other Revolving Loans shall be equal to the Applicable Rate for the Revolving Loans; provided that the Applicable Rate of the Revolving Loans may be increased to equal the Applicable Rate for such Other Revolving Loans to satisfy the requirements of this clause (b). The other terms of the Incremental Term Loans or the Incremental Revolving Loans, as applicable, and the Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement or the Incremental Revolving Credit Assumption Agreement, as applicable, to the extent not consistent with the terms applicable to the Term Loans and Revolving Loans hereunder, shall otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and, to the extent that such Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement or Incremental Revolving Credit Assumption Agreement, as applicable, contains any covenants, events of default, representations or warranties or other rights or provisions that place greater restrictions on Holdings, the Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiaries or are more favorable to the Lenders making such Other Term Loans or Other Revolving Loans, as applicable, the existing Lenders shall be entitled to the benefit of such rights and provisions so long as such Other Term Loans or Other Revolving Loans, as applicable, remain outstanding and such additional rights and provisions shall be deemed automatically incorporated by reference into this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, as if fully set forth herein, without any further action required on the part of any Person effective as of the date of such Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement or Incremental Revolving Credit Assumption Agreement, as applicable. The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement and Incremental Revolving Credit Assumption Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement or Incremental Revolving Credit Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment, as applicable, evidenced thereby as provided for in Section 9.02. Any such deemed amendment may be memorialized in writing by the Agent with the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.24 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 4.01 shall be satisfied and the Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower, provided that if the proceeds thereof are being used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, then (x) the condition set forth in paragraph (c) of Section 4.01 shall be required to be satisfied as of the date on which the definitive documentation with respect to such Limited Condition Acquisition is entered into and (y) to the extent agreed by the applicable Incremental Term Lenders or Incremental Revolving Credit Lenders, (A) the representations and warranties referred to in paragraph (b) of

107

Section 4.01 may be limited to the Specified Representations and (B) the Defaults and Events of Default referred to in paragraph (c) of Section 4.01 may be limited to those under paragraphs (a), (b), (f) and (g) of Article VII, (ii) the Agent shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates and documentation consistent with those delivered on the Second Restatement Date, (iii) the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio would be no greater than 7.25 to 1.00 and (iv) the Consolidated Secured Net Debt Ratio would be no greater than 5.00 to 1.00, in the case of each of clauses (iii) and (iv), after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment and the Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Loans to be made thereunder and the application of the proceeds therefrom as if made and applied on such date (and, if such proceeds are being used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, with such determinations under clauses (iii) and (iv) above solely being made on the date on which the definitive documentation with respect to such Limited Condition Acquisition is entered into).

(d) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Term Loans (other than Other Term Loans), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of the applicable Class on a pro rata basis, and the Borrower agrees that Section 2.15 shall apply to any conversion of Term SOFR Loans to ABR Term Loans reasonably required by the Agent to effect the foregoing. In addition, to the extent any Incremental Term Loans are not Other Term Loans, the scheduled amortization percentages under Section 2.08(a) shall be deemed to apply to the aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Term Loans on the date such Loans are made and, in connection therewith, Section 2.08(a) may be amended as necessary to modify the amount of such amortization payments (solely to the extent that such amendment does not decrease the amount of any such payment that any existing Term Lender would have received prior to giving effect to such amendment) in order to provide for the appropriate ratable distribution of such amortization payments among the existing Term Lenders of the applicable Class and the Incremental Term Lenders of such Incremental Term Loans of such Class.

SECTION 2.25. Loan Modification Offers. (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Agent from time to time, make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders of one or more Classes of Loans and/or Commitments (each Class subject to such a Loan Modification Offer, an “Affected Class”) to make one or more Permitted Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 30 Business Days after the date of such notice, unless otherwise agreed to by the Agent). Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments of the Lenders of the Affected Class that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments of such Affected Class as to which such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s acceptance has been made.

(b) The Borrower and each Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Agent a Loan Modification Agreement and such other documentation as the Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and

108

conditions thereof. The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders of the Affected Class (including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders of the Affected Class as a new “Class” of loans and/or commitments hereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Permitted Amendment shall become effective under this Section 2.25 unless the Agent shall have received customary legal opinions, board resolutions and customary officers’ certificates reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(c) “Permitted Amendments” shall be (i) an extension of the final maturity date and/or a reduction or elimination of the scheduled amortization applicable to the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders, (ii) (A) an increase in the Applicable Rate and/or Commitment Fee with respect to the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders and/or (B) the payment of additional fees or other compensation to the Accepting Lenders, (iii) such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as shall be appropriate, in the reasonable judgment of the Agent, to provide the rights and benefits of this Agreement and other Loan Documents to each new “Class” of loans and/or commitments resulting therefrom and (iv) additional amendments to the terms of this Agreement applicable to the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders that are less favorable to such Accepting Lenders than the terms of this Agreement prior to giving effect to such Permitted Amendments and that are reasonably acceptable to the Agent; provided that if any such Permitted Amendment shall create a new Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, (A) the allocation of the participation exposure with respect to any then existing or subsequently issued or made Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan as between the commitments of such new “Class” and the Commitments of the then existing Revolving Credit Lenders of the Affected Class shall be made on a ratable basis as between the commitments of such new “Class” and the Commitments of the then existing Revolving Credit Lenders of such Affected Class and (B) the L/C Commitment and Swingline Commitment may not be extended without the prior written consent of the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as applicable.

(d) In connection with any Loan Modification Offer with respect to any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower may, concurrently with or at any time following the effectiveness of such Loan Modification Offer, elect to replace any Revolving Credit Lender of the Affected Class that does not become an Accepting Lender with respect to such Loan Modification Offer (any such Lender, a “Non-Accepting Lender”), provided that, concurrently with such replacement by the Borrower, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Loans of the Affected Class held by such Non-Accepting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Accepting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, (ii) the replacement Lender shall become an Accepting Lender with respect to the applicable Loan Modification Offer and (iii) the Borrower shall pay to such Non-Accepting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts

109

then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Accepting Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including, without limitation, payments due to such Non-Accepting Lender under Sections 2.14 and 2.16, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Non-Accepting Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.15 had the Loans of such Non-Accepting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender. Each Lender agrees that if the Agent or the Borrower, as the case may be, exercises its option hereunder, it shall promptly execute and deliver all agreements and documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment as set forth in Section 9.04. The Agent or the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such agreement and documentation on behalf of such Non-Accepting Lender and any such agreement and/or documentation so executed by the Agent or the Borrower shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 9.04.

SECTION 2.26. Refinancing Facilities. (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Agent from time to time, request the establishment hereunder of (i) a new Class of revolving commitments (the “Refinancing Revolving Commitments”) pursuant to which each Person providing such a commitment (a “Refinancing Revolving Lender”), which may include any existing Lender (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion), will make revolving loans to the Borrower (“Refinancing Revolving Loans”) and acquire participations in the Letters of Credit and the Swingline Loans and (ii) one or more additional Classes of term loan commitments (the “Refinancing Term Loan Commitments”), pursuant to which each Person providing such a commitment (a “Refinancing Term Lender”) will make term loans to the Borrower (the “Refinancing Term Loans”); provided that (A) each Refinancing Revolving Lender and each Refinancing Term Lender shall be an Eligible Assignee and shall be subject to the approval of the Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (B) each Refinancing Revolving Lender shall be subject to the approval of each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), in each case, to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under the definition of “Eligible Assignee” for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, to such Refinancing Revolving Lender and such Refinancing Term Lender, as applicable.

(b) The Borrower and each Refinancing Lender shall execute and deliver to the Agent a Refinancing Facility Agreement and such other documentation as the Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Refinancing Commitments of each Refinancing Lender. Such Refinancing Facility Agreement shall set forth, with respect to the Refinancing Commitments established thereby and the Refinancing Loans and other extensions of credit to be made thereunder, to the extent applicable: (i) the designation of such Refinancing Commitments and Refinancing Loans as a new “Class” of loans and/or commitments hereunder, (ii) the stated termination and maturity dates applicable to the Refinancing Commitments or Refinancing Loans of such Class; provided that such stated termination and maturity dates shall not be earlier than (x) the Maturity Date then in effect with respect to the applicable Class of Revolving Credit Commitments being so refinanced (in the case of Refinancing Revolving Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Loans) or (y) the Maturity Date then in effect with respect to the applicable Class of Term Loans being so refinanced (in the case of Refinancing Term Loan Commitments and Refinancing Term Loans), (iii) in the case of any Refinancing Term Loans, any amortization applicable thereto and the effect thereon of any prepayment of such Refinancing Term Loans, (iv) the interest rate or rates applicable to the Refinancing Loans of

110

such Class, (v) the fees applicable to the Refinancing Commitment or Refinancing Loans of such Class, (vi) in the case of any Refinancing Term Loans, any original issue discount applicable thereto, (vii) the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods applicable to Refinancing Loans of such Class, (viii) any voluntary or mandatory commitment reduction or prepayment requirements applicable to Refinancing Commitments or Refinancing Loans of such Class (which prepayment requirements, in the case of any Refinancing Term Loans, may provide that such Refinancing Term Loans may participate in any mandatory prepayment on a pro rata basis with the Term Loans, but may not provide for prepayment requirements that are more favorable to the Lenders holding such Refinancing Term Loans than to the Lenders holding Term Loans) and any restrictions on the voluntary or mandatory reductions or prepayments of Refinancing Commitments or Refinancing Loans of such Class and (ix) in the case of any Refinancing Revolving Commitments, the Alternative Currencies, if any, available thereunder. Except as contemplated by the preceding sentence, the terms of the Refinancing Revolving Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Loans and other extensions of credit thereunder shall be substantially the same as the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Loans and other extensions of credit thereunder, and the terms of the Refinancing Term Loan Commitments and Refinancing Term Loans shall be substantially the same as the terms of the Term Loan Commitments and the Term Loans then in effect or outstanding, as applicable, under this Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Refinancing Facility Agreement. The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Facility Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Facility Agreement, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Refinancing Facility Agreement (including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the as a new “Class” of loans and/or commitments hereunder).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Refinancing Commitments shall become effective under this Section 2.26 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 4.01 shall be satisfied and the Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower, (ii) the Agent shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other customary closing certificates consistent with those delivered on the Second Restatement Date, (iii) in the case of any Refinancing Revolving Commitments, substantially concurrently with the effectiveness thereof, all the Revolving Credit Commitments of a Class then in effect shall be terminated, and all the Revolving Loans then outstanding thereunder, together with all interest thereon, and all other amounts accrued for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders of such Class, shall be repaid or paid (it being understood, however, that, with the written consent of the applicable Issuing Bank, any Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank may continue to be outstanding hereunder), and the aggregate amount of such Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments does not exceeded the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments so terminated and (iv) in the case of any Refinancing Term Loan Commitments, substantially concurrently with the effectiveness thereof, the Borrower shall obtain Refinancing Term Loans thereunder and shall repay or prepay then outstanding Term Borrowings of any Class in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate amount of such Refinancing Term Loan Commitments (less the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such outstanding Term Borrowings and any reasonable fees, premium and expenses relating to such refinancing) (and any such prepayment of Term Borrowings of any Class shall be applied to

111

reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of Term Borrowings of such Class to be made pursuant to Section 2.08 on a pro rata basis).

SECTION 2.27. [Intentionally Omitted].

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

(a) the Commitment Fee shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a);

(b) the Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders, Required Revolving Lenders or Required Class Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of each Lender or each Lender affected thereby if such amendment, waiver or modification would adversely affect such Defaulting Lender compared to other similarly affected Lenders; provided further that no amendment, waiver or modification that would require the consent of a Defaulting Lender under clause (A), (B) or (C) of the second proviso of Section 9.02(b) may be made without the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(c) if any Swingline Exposure or L/C Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and L/C Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders of the applicable Class in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages but only to the extent (A) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Dollar Revolving Credit Exposure or Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure, as applicable, plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and L/C Exposure in respect of the applicable Class does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class and (B) the Revolving Credit Exposure of each non-Defaulting Lender after giving effect to such reallocation does not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment of such non-Defaulting Lender;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of each applicable Issuing Bank only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) for so long as such L/C Exposure is outstanding;

112

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(c) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is cash collateralized except to the extent of such fees that became due and payable by the Borrower prior to the date such Lender became a Defaulting Lender (it being understood that any cash collateral provided pursuant to this Section 2.28(c) shall be released promptly following the termination of the Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender);

(iv) if the L/C Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11(a) and Section Section 2.11(c) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Percentages; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all fees payable under Section 2.11(c) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure shall be payable to each applicable Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such L/C Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) if such Lender is a Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and (ii) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit under the applicable Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, unless it is reasonably satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding L/C Exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders of such Class and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.28(c), and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among such non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.28(c) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

In the event that the Agent, the Borrower, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and L/C Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Revolving Credit Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other applicable Lenders (other than Swingline Loans), if any, as the Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Percentage, and such Lender shall then cease to be a Defaulting Lender with respect to subsequent periods unless such Lender shall thereafter become a Defaulting Lender.

The Transactions are within each applicable Loan Party’s organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational and, if required, stockholder action of such Loan Party. Each Loan Document to which each Loan Party is a party has been duly executed and delivered by such Loan Party and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity.

SECTION 3.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, except to the extent that any such failure to obtain such consent or approval or to take any such action, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (b) will not violate in any material respect any Requirement of Law applicable to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, (c) will not violate in any material respect or result in a default under the Senior Subordinated Notes Documents or any other material indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, except ▇▇▇▇▇ created pursuant to the Loan Documents and Permitted Liens.

All such properties and assets are free and clear of Liens, other than Liens (i) permitted by Section 6.06 or (ii) arising by operation of law (which Liens, in the case of this clause (ii) would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect).

Each of the Borrower and each of the Subsidiaries enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession under all such leases, other than leases in respect of which the failure to enjoy peaceful and undisturbed possession would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) As of the Restatement Date, none of Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary has received any notice of, nor has any knowledge of, any pending or contemplated condemnation proceeding affecting any material portion of the Mortgaged Properties or any sale or disposition thereof in lieu of condemnation.

SECTION 3.06. Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) There are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened against or affecting the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve any Loan Documents or the Transactions.

interest would require separate financial statements of a Subsidiary to be filed with the SEC (or any other government agency) under Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act (or any successor thereto) or any other law, rule or regulation or (ii) the Equity Interests of any Unrestricted Subsidiary.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, each Loan Party will, and will cause each Subsidiary that is a Loan Party to, execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Agent such documents, agreements and instruments, and will take or cause to be taken such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings, mortgages, deeds of trust and other documents and such other actions or deliveries consistent with past practice, as applicable (including legal opinions, Title Insurance Policies, certificates and corporate and organizational documents)), which may be required by law or which the Agent may, from time to time, reasonably request to carry out the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to ensure perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Collateral Documents, all at the expense of the Loan Parties.

(d) Subject to the limitations set forth or referred to in this Section 5.11, if any material assets (including, other than during any Mortgage Suspension Period, any owned real property or improvements thereto but excluding leasehold interests) (but only those having a fair market value of at least $5,000,000) are acquired by the Borrower or any Subsidiary that is a Loan Party after the Second Restatement Date (other than assets constituting Collateral under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement that become subject to the Lien in favor of the Agent upon acquisition thereof), the Borrower will notify the Agent and the Lenders thereof, and, if requested by the Agent or the Required Lenders, the Borrower will cause such assets to be subjected to a Lien securing the Obligations and will take, and cause the Loan Parties that are Subsidiaries to take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Agent to grant and perfect such Liens, including actions described in paragraph (c) of this Section, all at the expense of the Loan Parties.

(e) If, at any time and from time to time after the Second Restatement Date, Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Loan Parties because they are Immaterial Subsidiaries comprise in the aggregate more than 7.5% of Total Assets as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries or more than 7.5% of Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower, then the Borrower shall, not later than 45 days after the date by which financial statements for such quarter are required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement (or such later date as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), cause one or more such Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries to become additional Loan Parties (notwithstanding that such Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries are, individually, Immaterial Subsidiaries) such that the foregoing condition ceases to be true.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision of the Loan Documents to the contrary, the Loan Parties shall not be required to grant a security interest in any personal property of a type that would not constitute Pledged Collateral or Article 9 Collateral (each as defined in the

127

Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 4.01 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.

SECTION 5.12. Certain Post-Closing Collateral Obligations. As promptly as practicable, and in any event within 90 days following the Second Restatement Date or such later date as the Agent agrees to in its reasonable discretion, the Borrower and each other Loan Party will deliver to the Agent, with respect to each Mortgaged Property as of the Second Restatement Date, each of the following, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent:

(ii) evidence that a counterpart of the amendment to such Mortgage has been recorded or delivered to the appropriate Title Insurance Company subject to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Agent for recording in the place necessary, in the Agent’s reasonable judgment, to create a valid and enforceable first priority Lien in favor of the Agent for the benefit of itself and the Secured Parties;

(iii) a “date-down” endorsement to the existing title policy, which shall amend the description therein of the insured Mortgage to include the amendment of such Mortgage in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent;

In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (e) of the preceding paragraph of this Article, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded automatically and without any action by the Agent or the Lenders if, within twenty (20) days after such Event of Default arose, (i) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged, (ii) the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (iii) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured.

ARTICLE VIII

The Agent

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent as its agent and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

The bank serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any subsidiary of a Loan Party or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Agent hereunder.

The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except, subject to the last paragraph of this Article VIII, discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Agent

142

may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Borrower, to appoint a successor; provided that (i) during the existence and continuation of an Event of Default, no consent of the Borrower shall be required and (ii) any successor that shall also be the named secured party under any Collateral Document shall also be subject to the approval requirements, if any, of such Collateral Document. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a commercial bank or an Affiliate of any such commercial bank reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence by the 30th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by such Agent, such Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of such Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint, with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (so long as no Event of Default exists), a successor administrative agent and/or collateral agent, as the case may be. Any such resignation by such Agent hereunder shall also constitute, to the extent applicable, its resignation as an Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, in which case such resigning Agent (x) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit or make any additional Swingline Loans hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it, or Swingline Loans made by it, prior to the date of such resignation. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed

143

appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Each Lender (a) acknowledges that it has received a copy of each Collateral Documents, (b) without limiting the foregoing, agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of any Collateral Documents and (c) acknowledges that the Agent will, and hereby authorizes the Agent to, enter into (and be a party to) the Collateral Documents and any intercreditor agreements on behalf of itself, such Lender and the holders of any future Specified Secured Indebtedness. The Lenders further acknowledge that, pursuant to the Collateral Documents, the Agent will have the sole right to proceed against the Collateral. In the event of a foreclosure by the Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by such Secured Party. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the foregoing provisions. The provisions of this paragraph are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party.

The Joint Lead Arrangers and joint bookrunners shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such.

Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Agent and each Joint Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true: (i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments, (ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (iii) (A) such Lender

In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has not provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Agent and each Joint Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that: (i) none of the Agent or any Joint Lead Arranger or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related to hereto or thereto), (ii) the Person making the investment decision on behalf of such Lender with respect to the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement is independent (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-21) and is a bank, an insurance carrier, an investment adviser, a broker-dealer or other person that holds, or has under management or control, total assets of at least $50.0 million, in each case as described in 29 CFR § 2510.3-21(c)(1)(i)(A)-(E), (iii) the Person making the investment decision on behalf of such Lender with respect to the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to particular transactions and investment strategies (including in respect of the Obligations), (iv) the Person making the investment decision on behalf of such Lender with respect to the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement is a fiduciary under ERISA or the Code, or both, with respect to the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement and is responsible for exercising independent judgment in evaluating the transactions hereunder, and (v) no fee or other compensation is being paid directly to the Agent or any Joint Lead Arranger or any their respective Affiliates for investment advice (as opposed to other services) in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement.

The Agent and each Joint Lead Arranger hereby informs the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans, the Letters of Credit,

Holdings and the Borrower hereby agree that (1) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (2) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrowers shall be deemed to have authorized the Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to Holdings and the Borrower or their securities for purposes of foreign, United States Federal and state securities laws; (3) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor”; and (4) the Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor”.

147

information: (A) the Loan Documents, (B) notifications of changes in the terms of the Term Loans, Term Loan Commitments, Revolving Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments, Swingline Loans, Swingline Commitments or L/C Commitments and (C) financial statements and accompanying information and certificates delivered pursuant to Sections 5.01(a) or (b).

(i) Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including foreign, United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to communications and other information and materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to Holdings or a Borrower or its securities for purposes of foreign, United States Federal or state securities laws.

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NEITHER THE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILFUL MISCONDUCT.

(f) Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by law, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a

waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders, provided that the Borrower and the Agent may enter into an amendment to effect the provisions of Section 2.26(b) upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement or Incremental Revolving Credit Assumption Agreement and Section 2.27(b) upon the effectiveness of any Revolving Credit Increase Assumption Agreement or (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document (other than any such amendment to effectuate any modification thereto expressly contemplated by the terms of such other Loan Documents), pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (A) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender; it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 or the waiver of any Default or mandatory prepayment shall not constitute an increase of any Commitment of any Lender, (B) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or L/C Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees (including any prepayment fees) payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (C) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or L/C Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the provisions of Section 2.12(c) providing for the default rate of interest, or to waive any obligations of the Borrower to pay interest at such default rate, (D) change Sections 2.09(c), 2.10(g), 2.17(c) or 2.17(f) in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared, without the written consent of each Lender, (E) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (F) release any material Guarantor from its obligation under its Guarantee (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Lender, or (G) except as provided in clauses (c) and (d) of this Section or in any Collateral Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent. The Agent may without the consent of any Lender also amend the Commitment Schedule to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 9.04. Upon the request of the Borrower, the Agent shall enter into such amendments (and may do so without the consent of any Lender, other agent, or the Issuing Bank) to the Collateral Documents (or enter into additional Collateral Documents or intercreditor agreements) to secure on a pari passu basis or junior basis, as the case may be, on terms reasonably acceptable to the Agent all obligations (including obligations comparable in scope to the Obligations) of all Specified Secured Indebtedness having the same lien priority as, or a junior lien priority to, the Obligations permitted to be incurred under Section 6.01 and secured by ▇▇▇▇▇ permitted to be incurred under

149

Section 6.06 on all or a portion of the Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with the consent of Holdings, the Borrower and the Required Lenders, this Agreement (including Sections 2.09(c), 2.10(g), 2.17(c) and 2.17(f)) may be amended (x) to allow the Borrower to prepay Loans of a Class on a non-pro rata basis in connection with offers made to all the Lenders of such Class pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent and (y) to allow the Borrower to make loan modification offers to all the Lenders of one or more Classes of Loans that, if accepted, would (A) allow the maturity and scheduled amortization of the Loans of the accepting Lenders to be extended, (B) increase the Applicable Rates and/or Fees payable with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the accepting Lenders and (C) treat the modified Loans and Commitments of the accepting Lenders as a new Class of Loans and Commitments for all purposes under this Agreement.

(c) The Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral shall be automatically released (i) upon the termination of the Commitments, payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations), and the cash collateralization of all Unliquidated Obligations in a manner satisfactory to the Agent, (ii) upon the sale or other disposition of the property constituting such Collateral (including as part of or in connection with any other sale or other disposition permitted hereunder) to any Person other than another Loan Party, to the extent such sale or other disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii) to the extent such Collateral is comprised of property leased to a Loan Party, upon termination or expiration of such lease, (iv) subject to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.02, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, (v) to the extent the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, (vi) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Agent and the Lenders pursuant to the Collateral, (vii) with respect to existing Mortgages, upon the occurrence of any Mortgage Suspension Period and (viii) with respect to Liens perfected as a result of the entry into any then-existing Control Agreement required to be entered into pursuant to Section 4.04(b) of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, upon the occurrence of any Control Agreement Suspension Period. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral to the extent required under the provisions of the Loan Documents. In the case of clauses (vii) and (viii), the Agent will (and the Lenders and the Issuing Bank authorize the Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence such release, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this clause (c); provided that the Borrower shall promptly deliver to the Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying that a Control Agreement Suspension Period or Mortgage Suspension Period, as applicable, has occurred.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.02, guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents executed by Foreign

150

Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Agent and may be amended and waived with the consent of the Agent at the request of the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lenders if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities or defects or (iii) to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(e) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender directly affected thereby”, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then (x) the Agent may elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of (1) any affected Class of such Lender’s Commitments, the corresponding Loans owing to it and all of its rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in respect of such affected Class or (2) such Lender’s Commitments, the Loans owing to it and all of its rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, provided that the Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such purchase all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including, without limitation, payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.14 and 2.16 and an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such purchase under Section 2.15 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the Agent or (y) the Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such replacement by the Borrower, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, (ii) the replacement Lender shall grant its consent with respect to the applicable proposed amendment, waiver or consent and (iii) the Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including, without limitation, payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.14 and 2.16, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.15 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender. Each Lender agrees that if the Agent or the Borrower, as the case may be, exercises its option hereunder, it shall promptly execute and deliver all agreements and documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment as set forth in Section 9.04. The Agent or the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such agreement and documentation on behalf of such Non-Consenting Lender and any such agreement and/or documentation so executed by the Agent or the Borrower shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 9.04.

(f) The Agent, Holdings and the Borrower may amend any Loan Document to correct administrative or manifest errors or omissions, or to effect administrative changes that are

151

not adverse to any Lender; provided, however, that no such amendment shall become effective until the fifth Business Day after it has been posted to the Lenders, and then only if the Required Lenders have not objected in writing thereto within such five Business Day period.

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Loan Parties agree, jointly and severally, to pay (i) all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the financial institutions identified as the Joint Bookrunners on the cover of this Agreement, and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cravath, Swaine & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, counsel for the Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers, in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation of the Loan Documents and related documentation, (ii) all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of outside legal counsel to the Agent, in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of any Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby shall be consummated), (iii) all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Lenders, including the reasonable documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agent and for one law firm retained by the Lenders (and one local counsel for both the Agent and the Lenders in each relevant jurisdiction and, in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel per group of affected parties), in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or related negotiations in respect of such Loans, and (iv) subject to any other provisions of this Agreement, of the Loan Documents or of any separate agreement entered into by the Borrower and the Agent with respect thereto, all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent in the administration of the Loan Documents. Expenses reimbursable by the Borrower under this Section include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to any other applicable provision of any Loan Document, reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with:

(i) lien and title searches and title insurance; and

(ii) Taxes, fees and other charges for recording the Mortgages, filing financing statements and continuations, and other actions to perfect, protect, and continue the Agent’s Liens.

Other than to the extent required to be paid on the Restatement Date, all amounts due under this paragraph (a) shall be payable by the Borrower within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of an invoice relating thereto and setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Issuing Banks and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, but excluding Taxes (other than

152

Taxes referred to in Section 9.03(a)) which shall be dealt with exclusively pursuant to Section 2.16 above, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby (including the use of proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit), (ii) any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or to any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s pro rata share (based upon its share of the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure, Term Loans and unused Commitments, determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, penalty, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent in its capacity as such.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party to this Agreement shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto or any Related Party thereof, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that the foregoing shall not preclude any Indemnitee from seeking to recover the preceding types of damages from the Borrower to the extent (a) otherwise required to be paid by Borrower to such Indemnitee under Section 9.02(b) and (b) specifically payable by such Indemnitee to any third party. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent such use was found by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from such Indemnitee’s willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be paid promptly after written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors

153

and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section (any attempted assignment or transfer not complying with the terms of this Section shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment or the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A) the Borrower (such consent being deemed given with respect to the assignment of Term Loans only unless the Borrower shall have objected to such assignment by written notice to the Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof), provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required (1) for an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (2) if an Event of Default specified in paragraphs (a), (b), (f) or (g) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing, any other Eligible Assignee and provided further that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment during the primary syndication of the Loans to Persons identified by the Agent to the Borrower on or prior to the Second Restatement Date and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower;

(B) the Agent; and

(C) the Swingline Lender, in the case of any assignment of a Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment, and the Issuing Bank, in the case of any assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment.

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or the principal amount of Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent and determined on an aggregate basis in the event of concurrent assignments to Related Funds (as defined below)) shall be in a minimum amount of at least $5,000,000 in the case of Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Loans and in a minimum amount

154

of at least of $1,000,000 in the case of Term Loan Commitments or Term Loans unless each of the Borrower and the Agent otherwise consent;

(B) each partial assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment or Revolving Loan shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Revolving Credit Exposure;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Agent, manually) and, in each case, shall pay to the Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Agent); and

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver on or prior to the effective date of such assignment, to the Agent (1) an Administrative Questionnaire and (2) if applicable, an appropriate Internal Revenue Service form or other documentation (such as Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or any successor form adopted by the relevant United States taxing authority) as required by applicable law and to the extent a Lender would be required to provide such form or other documentation under Section 2.16(f) supporting such assignee’s position that no withholding by any Borrower or the Agent for United States income tax payable by such assignee in respect of amounts received by it hereunder is required.

The term “Related Funds” means with respect to any Lender that is an Approved Fund, any other Approved Fund that is managed or advised by the same investment advisor as such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 (subject to the requirements of Section 2.16) and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring on or prior to the effective date of such assignment). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it

155

and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, or principal amount of, and any interest on, the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and tax certifications required by Section 9.04(b)(ii)(D)(2) (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and promptly record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(a), 2.17(b) or 9.03(c), the Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 9.04.

(vi) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee, legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.04(a) or delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem

156

appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment or the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) the Borrower, the Agent, and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (D) no such Participant shall be a “creditor” as defined in Regulation T or a “foreign branch of a broker-dealer” within the meaning of Regulation X. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(b) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Participant and the principal amounts of, and stated interest on, each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to the Borrower, the Agent or any other Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in the Commitments, Loans or other Obligations) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitments, Loans or other Obligations are in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrower is notified of the

157

participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.16(f) as though it were a Lender.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as a party hereto.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan, (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof and (iii) no SPC shall be a “creditor” as defined in Regulation T or a “foreign branch of a broker-dealer” within the meaning of Regulation X. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender) and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes including approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of the Loan Documents, remain the Lender of record hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan

SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,

exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 9.13. Several Obligations; Nonreliance; Violation of Law. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

162

Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree, however, that (a) this Agreement and all other Loan Documents executed and delivered herewith do not constitute a novation, payment and reborrowing or termination of the Obligations under the First Restated Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as in effect prior to the Second Restatement Date, (b) such Obligations are in all respects continuing with only the terms being modified as provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (c) the liens and security interests in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties securing payment of such Obligations are in all respects continuing and in full force and effect with respect to all Obligations and (d) all references in the other Loan Documents to the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer without further amendment to this Agreement.

SECTION 9.19. Conversion of Currencies. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligations of each party in respect of any sum due to any other party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, such party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss.
