The Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, rely on any determination made by any Loan Party in any document delivered to the Agent. The Agent shall determine or redetermine the Dollar Equivalent of each Loan and each Letter of Credit on each Determination Date and, unless otherwise specified herein, the Agent may determine or redetermine the Dollar Equivalent of any amount hereunder on any other date in its reasonable discretion. For purposes of any calculation of whether the requisite percentage of Lenders have consented to any amendment, waiver or modification of any Loan Document, the Agent may, in consultation with the U.S. Borrower, set a record date for determining the Dollar Equivalent amount of any Loan or Commitment so long as such record date is within 30 days of the effective date of such amendment, waiver or modification.

SECTION 1.04 Terms Generally. The definitions of terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. 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.” Unless the context requires otherwise (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein), (b) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns, (c) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (d) all references herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall, except as otherwise indicated, be construed to refer to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, this Agreement and (e) the words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties, including cash, securities, accounts and contract rights.

SECTION 1.05 Certain Calculations and Tests. For purposes of determining the permissibility of any action, change, transaction or event that requires a calculation of any financial ratio or test hereunder, such financial ratio or test shall be calculated (subject to Sections 1.11 and 1.14) at the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be, and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in such financial ratio or test occurring after the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be.

SECTION 1.06 Change of Currency. Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Agent may from time to time specify with the U.S. Borrower’s consent to appropriately reflect a change in currency of any country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to such change in currency.

SECTION 1.07 Funding Through Applicable Lending Offices. Any Lender may, by notice to the Agent and the U.S. Borrower, designate an Affiliate of such Lender as its Applicable Lending Office with respect to any Loans to be made by such Lender to any Borrower (and, for the avoidance of doubt, a Lender may designate different Applicable Lending Offices to make Loans to the U.S. Borrower, on the one hand, and any Foreign Borrower, on the other hand, under the same Revolving Facility) or make any Loan available to any Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loans. In the event that a Lender designates an Affiliate of such Lender as its Applicable Lending Office for Loans to any Borrower under any Facility or makes any Loan available to any Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loans, then all Loans and reimbursement obligations to be funded by such Lender under such Facility to such Borrower shall be funded by such Applicable Lending Office or foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate, as applicable, and all

payments of interest, fees, principal and other amounts payable to such Lender under such Facility shall be payable to such Applicable Lending Office or foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate, as applicable. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, no designation by any Lender of an Affiliate as its Applicable Lending Office or making any Loan available to any Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loans shall alter the obligation of the applicable Borrower to pay any principal, interest, fees or other amounts hereunder.

SECTION 1.08 Accounting Terms; GAAP.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided that, if the U.S. Borrower notifies the Agent that the U.S. Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the date hereof in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Agent notifies the U.S. Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof 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. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to any election under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 825 (or any other Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary at “fair value,” as defined therein.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 1.08(a) or in the definition of “Capitalized Lease Obligations,” any change in accounting for leases pursuant to GAAP resulting from the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“FAS 842”), to the extent such adoption would require treating any lease (or similar arrangement conveying the right to use) as a capital lease where such lease (or similar arrangement) would not have been required to be so treated under GAAP as in effect on December 31, 2015, such lease shall not be considered a capital lease, and all calculations and deliverables under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made or delivered, as applicable, in accordance therewith.

SECTION 1.09 Additional Available Currencies. (a) The U.S. Borrower may from time to time request that Term Benchmark Revolving Loans be made or Letters of Credit be issued under any Revolving Facility in a currency other than those specifically listed in the definition of “Available Currency”; provided that such requested currency is a lawful currency (other than Dollars) that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars. In the case of any such request with respect to the making of Term Benchmark Revolving Loans, such request shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Agent and the Revolving Lenders under the applicable Revolving Facility; and in the case of any such request with respect to the issuance of Letters of Credit, such request shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Agent and each Issuing Bank that is requested to issue Letters of Credit in such currency.

(b) Any such request shall be made to the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., 15 Business Days prior to the date of the desired Revolving Loan or issuance of any Letter of Credit in the applicable currency (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Agent and, in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, each applicable Issuing Bank, in its or their sole discretion). In the case of any such request pertaining to Term Benchmark Loans under any Revolving Facility, the Agent shall

promptly notify each Revolving Lender under such Revolving Facility thereof; and in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Agent shall promptly notify each Issuing Bank that is requested to issue Letters of Credit in such currency thereof. Each Revolving Lender (in the case of any such request pertaining to Term Benchmark Loans) under the applicable Revolving Facility or each applicable Issuing Bank (in the case of a request pertaining to Letters of Credit to be issued by such Issuing Bank) shall notify the Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., five Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of Term Benchmark Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in such requested currency.

(c) Any failure by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to permit Term Benchmark Loans to be made or Letters of Credit to be issued in such requested currency. If the Agent and all the Revolving Lenders under the applicable Revolving Facility consent to making Term Benchmark Loans in such requested currency, the Agent shall so notify the U.S. Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Available Currency hereunder under such Revolving Facility for purposes of any Term Benchmark Revolving Loans; and if the Agent and an Issuing Bank consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Agent shall so notify the U.S. Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Available Currency hereunder for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances by such Issuing Bank. If the Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.09, the Agent shall promptly so notify the U.S. Borrower.

SECTION 1.10 Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the stated amount of such Letter of Credit available to be drawn during the remaining life thereof.

SECTION 1.11 Limited Condition Acquisitions. As it relates to any action being taken solely in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, for purposes of:

(a) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement (other than determining whether an Event of Default has occurred under Section 6.10) which requires the calculation of any financial ratio or financial test,

(b) testing availability under baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets determined by reference to EBITDA or Total Assets) or

(c) testing whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and, with respect to any New Term Loan to finance such Limited Condition Acquisition, testing whether any representation or warranty in any Loan Document is correct as of such date,

in each case, at the option of the U.S. Borrower (the U.S. Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, an “LCA Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, any such Default or Event of Default exists and any such representation or warranty is correct shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (the “LCA Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Acquisition (and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith, including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof, as if they had occurred on the first day of the most recently ended Test Period prior to the LCA Test Date, including any adjustments pursuant to Section 1.14 hereof), the U.S. Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary would have been permitted to take such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or

basket, such ratio, test or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with, or if no such Default or Event of Default shall exist on such LCA Test Date or such representation or warranty is correct as of such LCA Test Date then such condition shall be deemed satisfied on the date of consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition for purposes of clause (c) above; provided that if financial statements for one or more subsequent fiscal periods shall have become available, the U.S. Borrower may elect, in its sole discretion, to redetermine all such ratios, tests or baskets on the basis of such financial statements, in which case, such date of redetermination shall thereafter be deemed to be the applicable LCA Test Date. For the avoidance of doubt, if the U.S. Borrower has made an LCA Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCA Test Date would have failed to have been complied with as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in EBITDA or Total Assets of the Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Acquisition, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or any such representation or warranty in any Loan Document is not correct on the date of such Limited Condition Acquisition, such baskets, tests or ratios or requirement will not be deemed to have failed to have been complied with as a result of such circumstance; however, if any ratios improve or baskets increase as a result of such fluctuations, such improved ratios or baskets may be utilized. If the U.S. Borrower has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any calculation of any ratio, test or basket availability with respect to any transaction permitted hereunder (each, a “Subsequent Transaction”) following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, for purposes of determining whether such Subsequent Transaction is permitted under this Agreement, any such ratio, test or basket shall be required to be satisfied on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof and including any adjustments pursuant to Section 1.14 hereof) have been consummated.

SECTION 1.12 Interest Rates; Benchmark Notification. The interest rate on a Loan denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that may be discontinued or is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, Section 2.18 provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to any interest rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the existing interest rate being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did any existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to any Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any interest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to any Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

SECTION 1.13 Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

SECTION 1.14 Pro Forma Calculations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (subject to Section 1.11), the words “pro forma” in this Credit Agreement shall mean, with respect to the calculation of any test, financial ratio, basket or covenant under this Agreement, including the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Total Gross Leverage Ratio and Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio and the calculation of Consolidated Interest Expense, Consolidated Net Income, Consolidated Total Indebtedness, EBITDA and Total Assets, of any Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries, as of any date, that pro forma effect will be given to any acquisition, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, Investment, any issuance, incurrence, assumption, guarantee, redemption or repayment of Indebtedness (including Indebtedness issued, incurred, assumed, guaranteed, or repaid or redeemed as a result of, or to finance, any relevant transaction and for which any such test, financial ratio, basket or covenant is being calculated), any issuance or redemption of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock, all sales, transfers and other Dispositions or discontinuance of any Subsidiary, line of business, division, segment or operating unit or any operational change and the receipt or depletion of Unrestricted Cash in connection with any of the foregoing, in each case that have occurred during the four consecutive fiscal quarter period of such Person being used to calculate such test, financial ratio, basket or covenant (the “Reference Period”), or (except (A) the Consolidated Total Gross Leverage Ratio in connection with determining the Applicable Prepayment Percentage and (B) the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.10) subsequent to the commencement of the Reference Period for which such calculation relates, but prior to or simultaneously with the event for which a determination under this Section 1.14 is made (including any such event occurring at a Person who became a Restricted Subsidiary of the subject Person or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the subject Person or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the subject Person after the commencement of the Reference Period) (including with respect to any proposed Investment or acquisition of the subject Person for which financing is or is sought to be obtained, the Investment or acquisition for which a determination under this Section 1.14 is made may occur after the date upon which the relevant determination or calculation is made), in each case, as if each such event occurred on the first day of the Reference Period; provided that no amount shall be added back pursuant to this Section 1.14 to the extent duplicative of amounts that are otherwise included in computing EBITDA for such Reference Period. For purposes of making any computation referred to above:

(1) if any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date for which a determination under this Section 1.14 is made had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedge Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness);

(2) interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a Financial Officer of the U.S. Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP;

(3) interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if otherwise specified in the relevant agreement, the rate

then in effect or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the U.S. Borrower may designate; and

(4) interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility or a Receivables Facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period.

(b) Term Loan Borrowings. All Term Loan Borrowings shall be made upon receipt of a Borrowing Request given by the U.S. Borrower to the Agent not later than (i) 12:00 noon (New York City time) one Business Day prior to the requested date of Borrowing, in the case of Base Rate Loans and (ii) 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) three Business Days prior to the requested date of Borrowing, in the case of Term SOFR Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing on the Closing Date, at such later time as may be agreed by the Agent).

If a Lender funds such Borrowing to the Agent, upon fulfillment (or due waiver in accordance with Section 9.02) on the requested date of Borrowing of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 or Section 4.02, as applicable, and after the Agent’s receipt of such funds, the Agent shall make such funds available to the applicable Borrower.

(d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any proposed Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Borrowing (or any portion thereof), the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Applicable Percentage available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.02 and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such Applicable Percentage available to the Agent, such Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent at (i) in the case of a Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Interbank Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing. If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid

shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. If the applicable Borrower shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such payment shall not relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have hereunder to such Borrower.

(e) The failure of any Lender to make on the date specified any Loan or any payment required by it (such Lender, during the period of such failure, being a “Non-Funding Lender”), including any payment in respect of its participation in Letters of Credit, shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such Loan or payment on such date but no such other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a Loan or payment required under this Agreement.

SECTION 2.03 Swingline Loans.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from time to time prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, each Swingline Lender severally agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrowers in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans made by such Swingline Lender exceeding such Swingline Lender’s Swingline Sublimit or (ii) any Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding its Revolving Commitment; provided that a Swingline Lender shall not make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

(b) To request a Swingline Loan, the applicable Borrower shall submit a written notice to the Agent by telecopy or electronic mail not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be in a form approved by the Agent, shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lenders of any such notice received from the applicable Borrower. Each Swingline Lender shall make its ratable portion of the requested Swingline Loan (such ratable portion to be calculated based upon such Swingline Lender’s Swingline Sublimit to the total Swingline Sublimit of all of the Swingline Lenders) available to the applicable Borrower by means of a credit to an account of the applicable Borrower maintained with the Agent in New York City and designated for such purpose by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

(c) The failure of any Swingline Lender to make its ratable portion of a Swingline Loan shall not relieve any other Swingline Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its ratable portion of such Swingline Loan on the date of such Swingline Loan, but no Swingline Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Swingline Lender to make the ratable portion of a Swingline Loan to be made by such other Swingline Lender on the date of any Swingline Loan.

(d) Any Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Agent require the Lenders to acquire participations in all or a portion of its Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, promptly upon receipt of such notice from the Agent (and in any event, if such notice is received by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on a Business Day no later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time on such Business Day and if received after 12:00 noon, New York City time, on a Business Day shall mean no later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the immediately succeeding Business Day), to pay to the Agent, for the account of such Swingline Lenders, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loans. Each Revolving 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 reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.05 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.05 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Agent shall promptly pay to such Swingline Lenders the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Agent shall notify the Borrowers of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Agent and not to such Swingline Lenders. Any amounts received by a Swingline Lender from the applicable Borrower (or other party on behalf of the applicable Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by such 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 Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to such Swingline Lenders, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to such Swingline Lender or to the Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrowers of any default in the payment thereof.

(e) Any Swingline Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrowers, the Agent, the replaced Swingline Lender and the successor Swingline Lender. The Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of a Swingline Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid interest accrued for the account of the replaced Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (x) the successor Swingline Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made thereafter and (y) references herein to the term “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swingline Lender, or to such successor and all previous Swingline Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of a Swingline Lender hereunder, the replaced Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made by it prior to its replacement but shall not be required to make additional Swingline Loans.

(f) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Swingline Lender or the assumption of the resigning Swingline ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Swingline Sublimit by other Swingline Lenders, any Swingline ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may resign as a Swingline ▇▇▇▇▇▇ at any time upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Agent, the Borrowers and the Lenders, in which case, such Swingline Lender shall be replaced in accordance with paragraph (e) above.

SECTION 2.04 Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, any Borrower may request (and the applicable Issuing Bank shall issue) the issuance of standby Letters of Credit under any Revolving Facility with respect to which it is a Borrower at any time and from time to time from and after the Closing Date to but excluding the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date for the latest maturing Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Facility for the account of such Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the relevant Issuing Bank, as the case may be. Any Letter of Credit issued under any Revolving Facility may be denominated in any Available Currency selected by the applicable Borrower. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation hereunder to issue, amend or

extend any Letter of Credit the proceeds of which would be made available to any Person (i) to fund any activity or business of or with any Sanctioned Person, in violation of Sanctions, or in any country or territory that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of any Sanctions or (ii) in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions by any party to this Agreement. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be issued hereunder in the name of the U.S. Borrower for the benefit and account of the U.S. Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower in whose name such Existing Letter of Credit is outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date and shall constitute Letters of Credit subject to the terms hereof.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the requesting Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended or extended, and specifying (A) the date of issuance, amendment or extension (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.04(c)), (C) the amount of such Letter of Credit, (D) the Available Currency in which such Letter of Credit is to be denominated, (E) the Revolving Facility under which such Letter of Credit is to be issued, (F) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and (G) such other information as shall be necessary to issue, amend or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the requesting Borrower shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form (each, a “Letter of Credit Agreement”). In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Letter of Credit Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment or extension of each Letter of Credit the requesting Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension, (i) (x) the aggregate undrawn Dollar Equivalent amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank at such time plus (y) the aggregate amount of all LC Disbursements made by such Issuing Bank that have not yet been reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower at such time shall not exceed its Letter of Credit Commitment, (ii) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the total Letter of Credit Commitments, (iii) no Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure shall exceed its Revolving Commitment, (iv) the Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders with respect to a certain Borrower shall not exceed the relevant Revolving Sublimit and (v) the LC Exposure under all Revolving Facilities shall not exceed $30,000,000; it being understood that, for purposes of determining compliance with the foregoing clauses (i) through (v), the Agent shall calculate the Dollar Equivalent with respect to any Letter of Credit requested to be denominated in any Alternative Currency promptly after the requesting Borrower delivers a notice requesting such Letter of Credit and on each Determination Date, in each case in accordance with Section 1.03. The applicable Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, reduce the Letter of Credit Commitment of any Issuing Bank with the consent of such Issuing Bank; provided that the Borrowers shall not reduce the Letter of Credit Commitment of any Issuing Bank if, after giving effect of such reduction, the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (v) above shall not be satisfied. Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit or increase in the amount of a Letter of Credit, the U.S. Borrower shall promptly notify the Agent thereof. Additionally, an Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit if (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing, amending or extending such Letter of Credit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from issuing, amending or extending such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, the issuance, amendment or extension of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular, or any such order, judgment or decree, or law shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital or liquidity requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any

unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on the Closing Date and that such Issuing Bank in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ material to it; or (ii) the issuance, amendment or extension of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire (or be subject to termination by notice from the applicable Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereof) at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit or, in the case of any extension of the expiration date thereof, one year after such extension; provided that, if the requesting Borrower and the applicable Issuing Bank so agree, any Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic extension of such Letter of Credit for successive one year terms (subject to clause (ii)); and (ii) the date that is three Business Days prior to the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date for the Revolving Facility under which such Letter of Credit is issued, except to the extent such Letter of Credit is cash collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank.

(d) Participations.

(i) By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount or extending the term thereof) pursuant to any Revolving Facility and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank issuing such Letter of Credit or the Revolving Lenders under such Revolving Facility, each Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender under such Revolving Facility, and each such Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in each such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank with respect to any Letter of Credit issued pursuant to any Revolving Facility under which such Lender holds a Revolving Commitment and not reimbursed by a Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 2.04(e) or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to such Borrower for any reason, including after the relevant Maturity Date. Each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this Section 2.04(d) in respect of Letters of Credit issued pursuant to the Revolving Facility under which such Lender holds Revolving Commitments and to make payments in respect of such acquired participations is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement.

(i) If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit issued by it, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Agent an amount in the currency of such LC Disbursement equal to such LC Disbursement not later than the Business Day immediately following the day that such Borrower receives notice that an LC Disbursement has been made; provided that, so long as no Default is continuing of which the Agent has been notified and subject to the availability of unused Revolving Commitments under the Revolving Facility, the Borrowers, each Issuing Bank, the Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that in the event an Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement under a Letter of Credit issued pursuant to a Revolving Facility and the applicable Borrower shall not have reimbursed such

amount when due pursuant to this Section 2.04(e)(i), such unreimbursed LC Disbursement and all obligations of such Borrower relating thereto shall be satisfied when due and payable by the borrowing of one or more Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars that are Base Rate Loans in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such unreimbursed LC Disbursement which the Borrowers hereby acknowledge are requested and the Revolving Lenders hereby agree to fund; provided, further, that prior to any such Revolving Loans being made, the Agent may, but shall not be required to, confirm with the U.S. Borrower that the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are met, and if the U.S. Borrower does not confirm that such condition shall be met then the Agent shall be under no obligation to cause such Revolving Loans to be made.

(ii) If a Borrower fails to make any payment due under Section 2.04(e)(i) with respect to a Letter of Credit when due and no Revolving Loans are made pursuant to Section 2.04(e)(i) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, if the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are not met), the Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender under the applicable Revolving Facility of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from such Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.02 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank that has made the LC Disbursement the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Agent of any payment from a Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and the applicable Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Base Rate Revolving Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligations to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.04(e) 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, any Letter of Credit Agreement or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an 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 (except as otherwise provided below), (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.04, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder, or (v) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally. Neither the Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, nor any of their Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms, any error in translation or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that nothing

in this paragraph shall be construed to excuse an Issuing Bank from liability to any Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by any Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. In the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. An Issuing Bank shall, within the time allowed by applicable law or the specific terms of the Letter of Credit, following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. An Issuing Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Agent and the U.S. Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or electronic mail) of such demand for payment if such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that such notice need not be given prior to payment by the Issuing Bank and any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve any Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full in the applicable currency on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the reimbursement is due and payable, at the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans under the applicable Revolving Facility and such interest shall be due and payable on the date when such reimbursement is payable; provided that, if a Borrower fails to reimburse (or cause another account party to reimburse) such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to Section 2.04(e), then Section 2.11(c) shall apply from such due date until such reimbursement is made. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank making such LC Disbursement except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(e)(ii) to reimburse an Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of Issuing Banks; Limitation on Obligations of Issuing Banks to Act in Such Capacities.

(i) An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the U.S. Borrower, the Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, each Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.10. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (1) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (2) references herein 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 replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under

this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to amend or extend any previously issued Letters of Credit.

(ii) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Bank, any Issuing Bank may resign as an Issuing Bank at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Agent, the U.S. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Revolving Lenders, in which case such resigning Issuing Bank shall be replaced in accordance with the prior paragraph.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the U.S. Borrower receives notice from the Agent or the Required Revolving Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph or if a Borrower is required to cash collateralize Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.09(d), each Borrower shall deposit in one or more accounts which shall be established at such time by the Agent, in the name of the Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Banks, an amount in cash in the currency in which the applicable LC Exposure is denominated equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid fees thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 7.01(f) or (g) with respect to the U.S. Borrower. Each such deposit shall be held by the Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement with respect to such LC Exposure and shall be invested in short term cash equivalents selected by the Agent in its sole discretion (it being understood that the Agent shall in no event be liable for the selection of such cash equivalents or for investment losses with respect thereto, including losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of such cash equivalents prior to stated maturity). The 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, which investments shall be made with the Agent’s consent and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of Borrowers for the LC Exposure, as applicable, at such time. If any 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 such Borrower promptly and in any event within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If any Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower as and to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(k) Assignment. The parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the entity acting as Issuing Bank, in its capacity as such, may, without the consent of any party hereto, assign to an Affiliate all right, title and interest of (the “Affiliate Assigned Rights”) in, to and under any and all obligations of the Borrowers under Section 2.04(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements (the “Reimbursement Obligations”), (b) in respect of all such Reimbursement Obligations constituting Affiliate Assigned Rights, for all purposes of this Agreement such Affiliate shall be deemed the “Issuing Bank,” (c) the obligations of the Revolving Lenders and Borrowers to the Issuing Bank shall, in the case of the Affiliate Assigned Rights, inure to the benefit of the Affiliate acquiring or having acquired such Affiliate Assigned Rights and be enforceable by such Affiliate and/or by the Issuing Bank on behalf of such Affiliate and (d) all payments made by Borrowers and/or any Revolving Lender to such Affiliate acquiring or having acquired such Affiliate Assigned Rights shall discharge all such obligations otherwise owing to the Issuing

Bank that has assigned such Affiliate Assigned Rights, to the extent so paid. The foregoing shall not otherwise affect the rights and obligations of the entities acting as Issuing Banks hereunder.

(l) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Bank and the applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

(m) Letters of Credit Issued for Account of Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder supports any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower, or states that such Subsidiary is the “account party,” “applicant,” “customer,” “instructing party,” or the like of or for such Letter of Credit, and without derogating from any rights of the applicable Issuing Bank (whether arising by contract, at law, in equity or otherwise) against such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit, the U.S. Borrower (i) shall reimburse, indemnify and compensate the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for such Letter of Credit (including to reimburse any and all drawings thereunder) as if such Letter of Credit had been issued solely for the account of the U.S. Borrower and (ii) irrevocably waives any and all defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of any or all of the obligations of such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit. The U.S. Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of such Letters of Credit for its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the U.S. Borrower, and that the U.S. Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

SECTION 2.05 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. The U.S. Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part the unused portions of the Revolving Commitments under any Revolving Facility; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than the Minimum Currency Threshold for Term SOFR Loans and (ii) any such reduction shall apply to proportionately and permanently reduce the Revolving Commitment of each of the Lenders under such Revolving Facility except that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with the establishment on any date of any Replacement Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.19, the Revolving Commitments of any one or more Lenders providing any such Replacement Revolving Commitments on such date may be reduced in whole or in part on such date on a non-pro rata basis with the other Lenders under the applicable Revolving Facility; provided, further, that after giving effect to any such reduction and to the repayment of any Revolving Loans actually made on such date, the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Revolving Lender under such Revolving Facility does not exceed the Revolving Commitment thereof). To the extent not previously utilized, all Term Commitments in effect on the Closing Date shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Closing Date.

SECTION 2.06 Repayment of Loans.

(a) Each Borrower promises to repay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender on the Revolving Credit Termination Date for any Revolving Facility, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans thereunder made to such Borrower under such Revolving Facility in the currency in which such Loans are denominated and (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lenders the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Revolving Credit Termination Date and the fifth Business Day after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Borrowing of Revolving Loans is made, the applicable Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding and the proceeds of any such Borrowing shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to repay any Swingline Loans outstanding.

(b) The U.S. Borrower promises to repay in Dollars the Term A-1 Loans on the Term A-1 Maturity Date (subject to Sections 2.08(b), 2.08(d) and 2.09).

(c) The U.S. Borrower promises to repay in Dollars the Term A-2 Loans on (i) the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with December 2023, an aggregate principal amount equal to 1.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term A-2 Loans outstanding as of the Closing Date (subject to Sections 2.08(b), 2.08(d) and 2.09) and (ii) on the Term A-2 Maturity Date, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Term A-2 Loans outstanding on such date.

SECTION 2.07 Evidence of Debt.

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

(b) The Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable to each Loan hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal, interest and fees due and payable or to become due and payable from each 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 Lender’s share thereof.

(c) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.07 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 any Borrower to repay its Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall reasonably promptly prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Credit Note or Term Loan Note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in substantially the form of Exhibit F-1 or Exhibit F-2 hereto, as applicable, with appropriate insertions and deletions.

SECTION 2.08 Optional Prepayment of Loans.

(a) Revolving Loans. Each Borrower may upon prior notice to the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) (i) at least three Business Days prior to the date of prepayment, in the case of any prepayment of Term Benchmark Loans, or (ii) on the date of prepayment in the case of Base Rate Loans and Canadian Prime Rate Loans, prepay without premium or penalty the outstanding principal amount of any or all of its Revolving Loans under any Revolving Facility, in whole or in part at any time in the currencies in which such Loans are denominated; provided, however, that if any prepayment of any Term Benchmark Loan is made by a Borrower other than on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan, such Borrower shall also pay all interest and fees accrued to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid and any amount owing pursuant to Section 2.14(e); provided, further, that each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than the Minimum Currency Threshold for Term SOFR Loans. Upon the giving of any notice of prepayment, the principal amount of Revolving Loans specified therein to be prepaid shall become due and payable on the date specified therein for such prepayment (except that any notice of prepayment in connection with the refinancing of all or any portion of the Facilities may be contingent upon the consummation of such refinancing).

(b) Term Loans. Any Borrower may, upon prior notice to the Agent not later than (x) 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) (i) at least three Business Days prior to the date of prepayment, in the case of any prepayment of Term Benchmark Loans and (ii) on the date of prepayment, in the case of any prepayment of Base Rate Loans, prepay without premium or penalty its Term Loans under any Term Loan Facility in Dollars, in whole or in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that if any prepayment of any Term Benchmark Loan is made by a Borrower other than on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan, such Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.14(e); provided, further, that each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate amount not less than the Minimum Currency Threshold for Term SOFR Loans and that any such partial prepayment shall be applied to the Term Loan Facilities as directed by the U.S. Borrower. Upon the giving of any notice of prepayment, the principal amount of the Term Loans specified therein to be prepaid shall become due and payable on the date specified therein for such prepayment (except that any notice of prepayment in connection with the refinancing of all or any portion of the Facilities may be contingent upon the consummation of such refinancing).

(d) In addition to any prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.08(b), any Borrower may at any time prepay Term Loans of any Class of any Lender at such price or prices as may be mutually agreed by such Borrower and such Lender (which, for avoidance of doubt, may be a prepayment at a discount to par), pursuant to individually negotiated transactions with any Lender or offers to prepay that are open to all Lenders of Term Loans of any Class selected by such Borrower so long as (i) at the time of, and after giving effect to, any such prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.08(d), no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) no proceeds of Revolving Loans are utilized to fund any such prepayment and (iii) such Borrower and each Lender whose Term Loans are to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.08(d) execute and deliver to the Agent an instrument identifying the amount of Term Loans of each Class of each such Lender to be so prepaid, the date of such prepayment and the prepayment price therefor. The principal amount of any Term Loans of any Class prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.08(d) shall reduce remaining scheduled amortization, if applicable, for such Class of Term Loans on a pro rata basis.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that on any date, an outstanding Term Loan of a Lender would otherwise be prepaid pursuant to Section 2.08(b), 2.08(d) or 2.09 from the proceeds of any new Term Loans to be established on such date, then, if agreed to by the applicable Borrower and such Lender in writing delivered to the Agent, such outstanding Term Loan of such Lender may be converted on a “cashless roll” basis into a new Term Loan being established on such date.

SECTION 2.09 Mandatory Prepayment of Loans.

(a) If the Final Distribution does not occur on or prior to the Business Day following the Closing Date, as provided under Section 5.13 hereof, the U.S. Borrower shall (or shall cause the other Borrowers to), on or prior to the next Business Day, prepay the total amount of the Obligations then-outstanding (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the principal amount of the Term Loans disbursed on the Closing Date and the accrued interest as required by Section 2.11 hereof). Amounts required to be applied to the prepayment of Term Loans in accordance with this Section 2.09(a) shall be applied pro rata to prepay Term Loans under the Term Loan Facilities.

(b) Subject to clause (e) below, on each occasion that a Prepayment Event occurs, the U.S. Borrower shall (or shall cause the other Borrowers to) within five Business Days after the occurrence

of such Prepayment Event (or, in the case of Deferred Net Cash Proceeds, within five Business Days after the last day of the Reinvestment Period relating to such Prepayment Event), prepay, in accordance with clause (c) below, a principal amount of Term Loans (or, at the election of the U.S. Borrower in connection with a Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event, reduce an amount of Revolving Commitments) equal to the Applicable Prepayment Percentage of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Prepayment Event; provided that no prepayment shall be required in any fiscal year as a result of any Asset Sale Prepayment Event until the aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds from all Asset Sale Prepayment Events during such fiscal year that have not previously been applied to prepay Loans in accordance with this Section 2.09 exceeds the greater of (x) $30,000,000 and (y) 7.5% of EBITDA for the most recently ended Test Period, and then only the excess over such amount shall be required to be applied to prepay Loans; provided further that with respect to the Net Cash Proceeds of an Asset Sale Prepayment Event or Casualty Event, the U.S. Borrower may use a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay or repurchase other Indebtedness (other than Loans) secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations (and, in the case of any revolving Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments) to the extent the U.S. Borrower is required to prepay such other Indebtedness as a result of such Prepayment Event, in each case in an amount not to exceed the product of (x) the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of such other Indebtedness and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of such other Indebtedness and the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans.

(c) The U.S. Borrower shall deliver to the Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under Section 2.09(b), (i) a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the U.S. Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable, at least three Business Days prior written notice of such prepayment. Amounts required to be applied to the prepayment of Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.09(b) shall be applied pro rata to prepay Term Loans under the Term Loan Facilities (based on the Dollar Equivalent amount of Term Loans outstanding under each Term Loan Facility on the date of prepayment) and, to the extent applicable, shall be applied to scheduled amortization of such Term Loans as directed by the U.S. Borrower; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, the U.S. Borrower may elect in its sole discretion to apply the Net Cash Proceeds from any Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event to prepay any Class of Term Loans (or to reduce any Class of Revolving Commitments) selected by the U.S. Borrower. 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. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest as required by Section 2.11. All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.09 shall be subject to Section 2.14, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.

(d) If at any time the Agent notifies the U.S. Borrower that the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of Revolving Credit Exposure under any Revolving Facility exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Facility at such time, each Borrower under such Revolving Facility shall forthwith prepay on a pro rata basis with any other Borrower under such Revolving Facility an amount of Revolving Loans made to such Borrower under such Revolving Facility then outstanding in an aggregate amount with respect to the Borrower(s) under such Revolving Facility equal to such excess; provided, however, that, to the extent such excess results solely by reason of a change in exchange rates, no Borrower shall be required to make such prepayment unless the amount of such excess causes the Revolving Credit Exposure under such Revolving Facility to exceed 105% of the Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Facility. If any such excess remains after prepayment in full of the aggregate outstanding Revolving Loans under the applicable Revolving Facility, each applicable Borrower shall provide cash collateral on a pro rata basis with any other Borrower under such Revolving Facility for the Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower under such Revolving Facility in the manner set forth in

Section 2.04(j) in an aggregate amount with respect to the Borrower(s) under such Revolving Facility equal to such excess.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.09, (A) to the extent that any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale Prepayment Event by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.09(b) (a “Foreign Prepayment Event”) are prohibited or delayed by any Requirement of Law from being repatriated to a Borrower with respect to Term Loans, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.09, as the case may be, and such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable Requirement of Law will not permit repatriation to a Borrower (the Borrowers hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable Requirement of Law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds is permitted under the applicable Requirement of Law, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than three Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.09 and (B) to the extent that and for so long as a Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Prepayment Event would have a material adverse tax consequence to the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds, the Net Cash Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.09, and such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary; provided that when such Borrower determines in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Prepayment Event would no longer have a material adverse tax consequence to the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be promptly (and in any event not later than three Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.09.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Term Loan Lender may elect, by written notice to Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior to the prepayment date, to decline all or any portion of any prepayment of its Term Loans, pursuant to Section 2.09(b) or (c) above (any such amounts so declined, the “Declined Amounts”).

SECTION 2.10 Fees.

(a) Commitment Fees. The U.S. Borrower agrees to pay, in Dollars in immediately available funds, (i) to each Revolving Lender a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) on the Dollar Equivalent of the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender under the applicable Revolving Facility exceeds the sum of such Revolving Lender’s (A) outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans under such Revolving Facility and (B) LC Exposure under such Revolving Facility, in each case, from the date hereof through the Revolving Credit Termination Date for such Revolving Facility at the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate, payable in arrears (x) for the preceding calendar quarter, no later than the fifteenth day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such Business Day following the Closing Date and (y) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date for such Revolving Facility.

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. Each Borrower agrees to pay, in immediately available funds, the following amounts denominated in Dollars with respect to Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank at the request of such Borrower:

(i) to each Issuing Bank with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, an issuance fee equal to 0.125% per annum of the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit, payable in arrears (A) for the preceding calendar quarter, no later than the fifteenth day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such Business Day following the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date for the Revolving Facility under which such Letter of Credit was issued;

(ii) to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Lenders under any Revolving Facility under which a Letter of Credit was issued, a fee (a “Revolving LC Fee”) accruing at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate applicable to Term Benchmark Loans, for each Letter of Credit calculated on the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit, payable in arrears (A) for the preceding calendar quarter, no later than the fifteenth day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such Business Day following the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date for the Revolving Facility under which such Letter of Credit was issued; and

(iii) to each Issuing Bank with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by it, with respect to the issuance, amendment or transfer of each Letter of Credit and each drawing made thereunder, documentary and processing charges in accordance with such Issuing Bank’s standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time of issuance, amendment, transfer or drawing, as the case may be.

(c) Additional Fees. The U.S. Borrower shall pay to the Agent additional fees as have been separately agreed between the U.S. Borrower and the Agent.

SECTION 2.11 Interest.

(a) Rate of Interest.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement at the option of the applicable Borrower, (A) all Loans denominated in Dollars shall be made as Base Rate Loans (including each Swingline Loan) or Term SOFR Loans, and (B) all Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be made as Canadian Prime Rate Loans or CDOR Loans.

(ii) All Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof which shall accrue and be payable in the currency in which such Loan is denominated from the date such Loans are made as follows:

(A) if a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (1) the Base Rate as in effect from time to time and (2) the Applicable Rate in effect from time to time;

(B) if a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (1) the Canadian Prime Rate in effect from time to time and (2) the Applicable Rate in effect from time to time;

(C) if a Term SOFR Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) Adjusted Term SOFR for the applicable Interest Period and (B) the Applicable Rate in effect from time to time;

(D) if a CDOR Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) Adjusted CDOR for the applicable Interest Period and (B) the Applicable Rate in effect from time to time;

(b) Interest Payments. (i) Interest accrued on each Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears (A) for the preceding calendar quarter, no later than the fourth Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such day following the making of such Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan, (B) upon the payment or prepayment thereof in full or in part and (C) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan, (ii) interest accrued on each Term Benchmark Loan shall be payable in arrears (A) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Loan and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each date during such Interest Period occurring every three months from the first day of such Interest Period, (B) upon the payment or prepayment thereof in full or in part and (C) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Term Benchmark Loan, and (iii) interest accrued on the amount of all other Obligations shall be payable on demand from and after the time such Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

(c) Default Interest. If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan or any LC Disbursement or (ii) any interest payable thereon, Commitment Fees or LC Fees shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is (x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto plus 2%, (y) in the case of any LC Disbursement, at the rate applicable under Section 2.04(h) plus 2% and (z) in the case of any overdue interest, Commitment Fees or LC Fees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the rate described in Section 2.10 or Section 2.11(a), as applicable, plus 2% from and including the date of such non-payment to but excluding the date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

(d) Criminal Interest Rate/Interest Act (Canada).

(i) For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), whenever any interest is calculated on the basis of a period of time other than a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, the annual rate of interest to which each rate of interest utilized pursuant to such calculation is equivalent to such rate so utilized multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by the number of days used in such calculation. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest will not apply to any interest calculation under the Loan Documents, and the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

(ii) If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents would obligate the Canadian Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender under any Loan Documents in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by that Lender of interest at a criminal rate (as construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then notwithstanding that provision, that amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or result in a receipt by that

Lender of interest at a criminal rate, the adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, (A) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to the affected Lender under this Section 2.11 and (B) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the affected Lender which would constitute interest for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).

(iii) Notwithstanding clause (d)(ii), and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if any Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by the Criminal Code (Canada), then the Canadian Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the affected Lender, to obtain reimbursement from that Lender in an amount equal to the excess, and pending reimbursement, the amount of the excess shall be deemed to be an amount payable by that Lender to the Canadian Borrower.

(iv) Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Section 2.11(d) shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term of the Agreement on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of interest (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall be prorated over that period of time and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of that determination.

SECTION 2.12 Conversion/Continuation Options.

(a) Each applicable Borrower may (i) elect (x) at any time on any Business Day to convert Base Rate Loans or any portion thereof to Term SOFR Loans, (y) at any time on any Business Day to convert Canadian Prime Rate Loans or any portion thereof to CDOR Loans or (z) at the end of any Interest Period applicable to a Term Benchmark Loan, to convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable; and (ii) elect at the end of any applicable Interest Period, to continue Term Benchmark Loans or any portion thereof for an additional Interest Period; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above the aggregate amount of the Term Benchmark Loans for each Interest Period shall not be less than the Minimum Currency Threshold. Each conversion or continuation shall be allocated among the Loans of each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Applicable Percentage. Each such election shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit G and shall be made by giving the Agent prior written notice by 12:00 noon (New York City time) at least three Business Days in advance specifying (A) the amount and type of Loan being converted or continued, (B) in the case of a conversion to or a continuation of Term Benchmark Loans, the applicable Interest Period and (C) in the case of a conversion, the date of such conversion. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Loans, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) The Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender of its receipt of an Interest Election Request and of the options selected therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Loans denominated in any currency other than Dollars may not be converted to Base Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans, (ii) Loans denominated in any currency other than Canadian Dollars may not be converted to Canadian Prime Rate Loans or CDOR Loans, and (iii) no (A) conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans to CDOR Loans, or (B) continuation in whole or in part of Term Benchmark Loans or CDOR Loans upon the expiration of any applicable Interest Period, in each case, shall be permitted at any time at which (I) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Agent or the Required Lenders shall have determined not to permit such continuation or conversion or (II) the continuation of, or conversion into, a Term Benchmark Loan would violate any provision of Section 2.18(a). If, within the time period required under the terms of this Section 2.12, the Agent does not

receive an Interest Election Request from the applicable Borrower containing a permitted election to continue any Term Benchmark Loan for an additional Interest Period or to convert any such Loans, then, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, Loans denominated in Dollars shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans and Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be automatically converted into Canadian Prime Rate Loans. Each Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable.

SECTION 2.13 Payments and Computations.

(a) Each Borrower shall make each payment hereunder (including fees and expenses) not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), in each case on the day when due, in the currency in which such Loans were made (or in Dollars), except as specified in the following sentence, to the Agent at the Agent’s Office for payments in such currency in immediately available funds without setoff or counterclaim. The Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees to the Applicable Lending Offices of the applicable Lenders for such payments ratably in accordance with the amount of such principal, interest or fees due and owing to such Lenders on such date; provided, however, that (x) amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or Section 2.15 shall be paid only to the affected Issuing Bank, Lender or Lenders and (y) amounts payable to the Issuing Banks in accordance with Section 2.10 or Swingline Lender shall be paid directly to such Issuing Banks or Swingline Lender, as applicable. Payments received by the Agent after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall, at the option of the Agent, be deemed to be received on the next Business Day.

(b) All computations of interest and of fees shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days (other than computations of interest for Base Rate Loans, Canadian Prime Rate Loans and CDOR Loans, which shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be), in each case, for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest and fees are payable. Each determination by the Agent of a rate of interest hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, each payment by a Borrower with respect to any Loan or Letter of Credit and each reimbursement of reimbursable expenses or indemnified liabilities shall be made in the currency in which such Loan was made, such Letter of Credit issued or such expense or liability was incurred.

(d) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of any Term Benchmark Loan to be made in the next calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. All repayments of any Revolving Loans or Term Loans that are denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars shall be applied as follows: first, to repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, and second, to repay such Loans outstanding as Term Benchmark Loans, with those Term Benchmark Loans having earlier expiring Interest Periods being repaid prior to those having later expiring Interest Periods.

(e) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from any Borrower to the Lenders prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each applicable Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that such Borrower shall not have made such payment in full to the Agent, each applicable Lender shall repay to the Agent

forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon (at the Interbank Rate for the first Business Day, and, thereafter, at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans) for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Agent.

SECTION 2.14 Increased Costs; Change of Law, Etc.

(a) Determination of Interest Rate. Each of the (i) Adjusted CDOR for each Interest Period for CDOR Loans, and (ii) Adjusted Term SOFR for each Interest Period for Term Benchmark Loans shall be determined by the Agent pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of “Adjusted CDOR” or “Adjusted Term SOFR” as applicable.

(b) [Reserved]

(i) If any Change in Law shall:

(A) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or Issuing Bank;

(B) impose on any Lender (including any Issuing Bank) or the applicable offshore interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Term Benchmark Loans made by such Lender; or

(C) subject any Lender (including any Issuing Bank) to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes or Excluded Taxes) on its Loans, 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 of making or maintaining any Loan or the cost to an Issuing Bank of issuing or maintaining Letters of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, following delivery of the certificate contemplated by paragraph (iii) of this clause (c), the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank in accordance with clause (iii) below such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered, as reasonably determined by such Lender or Issuing Bank (which determination shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis)) and in a manner consistent with similarly situated borrowers of such Lender or Issuing Bank as applicable, under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 2.14.

(ii) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender or Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank to a level below that which such Person or such Person’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Person’s policies and the policies of such Person’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time following delivery of the certificate contemplated by paragraph (iii) of this clause

(c) of this Section 2.14 the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank in accordance with clause (iii) below such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Person or such Person’s holding company for any such reduction suffered, as reasonably determined by such Lender or Issuing Bank (which determination shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis)) and in a manner consistent with similarly situated borrowers of such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 2.14.

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

(iv) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this clause (c) shall not constitute a waiver of such Person’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this clause (c) for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank notifies such Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Person’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.

(d) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to make Term Benchmark Loans, or to continue to fund or maintain Term Benchmark Loans then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the U.S. Borrower through the Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender to make or to continue Term Benchmark Loans and to convert Base Rate Loans into Term Benchmark Loans shall be suspended, and each such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan, as applicable, as part of any requested Borrowing of Term Benchmark Loans, (ii) if any affected Loans are then outstanding that are denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars as Term Benchmark Loans, the applicable Borrower shall immediately convert each such Loan into Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable and (iii) in the case of any affected Loans that are not denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, such Loans shall bear interest at an alternate rate determined by the Agent to adequately reflect such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s cost of capital. If, at any time after a Lender gives notice under this clause (d), such Lender determines that it may lawfully make Term Benchmark Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination to the U.S. Borrower and the Agent, and the Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender. Each Borrower’s right to request, and such Lender’s obligation, if any, to make Term Benchmark Loans as applicable, shall thereupon be restored.

(e) Breakage Costs. In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.11, each Borrower shall compensate each Lender that has made a Loan to such Borrower, upon written request in accordance with this paragraph (e), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Lender’s Term Benchmark Loans to such Borrower but excluding any loss of the Applicable Rate on the relevant Loans) that such Lender may sustain (i) if for

any reason (other than by reason of such Lender being a Non-Funding Lender) a proposed Borrowing, conversion into or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Borrowing Request or an Interest Election Request given by a Borrower or in a telephonic request by it for borrowing or conversion or continuation or a successive Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor is given pursuant to Section 2.12, (ii) if for any reason any Term Benchmark Loan is repaid or prepaid (including pursuant to Section 2.09) on a date that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) as a consequence of a required conversion of a Term Benchmark Loans to a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan, as applicable, as a result of any of the events indicated in clause (d) above or (iv) as a result of any assignment of any Term Benchmark Loans pursuant to a request by the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17. In the case of a CDOR Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender 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 Adjusted CDOR that would have been applicable to such Loan for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the interbank market. The applicable Borrower shall pay the applicable Lender the amount shown as due on any certificate delivered to such Borrower and setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this clause (e) and the basis therefor within ten days after receipt thereof; provided such certificate sets forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts was determined.

SECTION 2.15 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes unless a deduction or withholding is required by applicable law; provided that if any applicable withholding agent shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from any such payment (as determined in good faith by such withholding agent), then (i) to the extent such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by such Borrower or other Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all such required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) by the applicable withholding agent, the Lender (or, in the case of a payment received by the Agent for its own account, the Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such required deductions or withholdings and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority within the time allowed and in accordance with applicable law. If at any time a Borrower or a Loan Party is required by applicable law to make any deduction or withholding from any sum payable under any Loan Document, such Borrower or such Loan Party shall promptly notify the relevant Agent or Lender upon becoming aware of the same.

(b) [Reserved].

(d) The Borrowers and the other Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(e) Each Borrower and each other Loan Party shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify the Agent and each Lender, within ten days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.15) payable or paid by such Agent or Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Agent or Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Borrower by a Lender, or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of any Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) As soon as practicable after any payment of any Taxes by a Borrower or other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.15, such Borrower or other 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.

(g)

(i) Each Lender that is legally entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to any payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.15(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B), and (ii)(D) below or, in respect of Canadian withholding Taxes, CRA Forms NR301, NR302, or NR303, as applicable, and any successor forms thereto) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the applicable Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of Section 2.15(g)(i) above, with respect to any Loan to the U.S. Borrower or in the event any other Borrower notifies the Lenders that a payment by or on account of any obligation of such Borrower under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. withholding Tax:

(A) Each Lender that is a United States Person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code agrees to complete and deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the U.S. Borrower or the Agent), two duly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(B) Each Non-U.S. Lender, shall deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the U.S. Borrower or the Agent), two duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

(I) In the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, IRS Form W-8BEN–E (or any successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to such treaty;

(II) IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form);

(III) In the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” as defined in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10-percent shareholder” of the U.S. Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c) (3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and that the interest payments in respect of such Loans are not effectively connected with such Non-U.S. Lender’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor form); or

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

(C) Each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the U.S. Borrower or the Agent) such other duly completed and executed forms or certificates prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or reduction in, U.S. federal withholding Tax, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the U.S. Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) Each Lender shall deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower or the 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 U.S. Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the U.S. Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has complied with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.15(g), no Lender shall be required to provide any documentation set forth in Section 2.15(g)(ii)(B) and (ii)(C) that such Lender is not legally eligible to provide.

(iv) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to deliver to the Borrowers and other Loan Parties and to any successor Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.15(g).

(v) If the Agent is a United States Person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, then it shall, on or prior to the Closing Date (or, in the case of a successor Agent, on or before the date on which it becomes Agent, co-agent or sub-agent hereunder), provide the U.S. Borrower with a properly completed and duly executed copy of IRS Form W-9 confirming that the Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding. If the Agent is not a United States Person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, then it shall, on or prior to the Closing Date (or, in the case of a successor Agent, on or before the date on which it becomes the Agent, co-agent or sub-agent hereunder), provide the U.S. Borrower with, (A) with respect to payments made to the Agent for its own account, a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or other applicable version of IRS Form W-8 claiming an exemption from U.S. withholding tax), and (B) with respect to payments made to the Agent on behalf of any Lender, two properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor form) certifying that the Agent is either (1) a “qualified intermediary” which has assumed primary withholding responsibility under Chapters 3 and 4 of the Code and primary Form 1099 reporting and backup withholding responsibility, or (2) a U.S. branch providing such form as evidence of its agreement with the U.S. Borrower to be treated as a “U.S. person” for U.S. federal withholding Tax purposes (as contemplated by Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv)(A) of the United States Treasury Regulations) and that the payments it receives for the account of such Lenders are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business in the United States. If any form or certification the Agent previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it will promptly update such form or certification.

(h) If the Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received and retained a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or other Loan Party or with respect to which such Borrower or such Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall pay over such refund to such Borrower or such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower or such Loan Party under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Agent or such Lender, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Borrower or such Loan Party, upon the request of the Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower or such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent or such Lender in the event the Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.15(h), in no event will any Agent or Lender be required to pay any amount to any Borrower other

Loan Party pursuant to this Section 2.15 the payment of which would place such Agent or Lender 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. This Section 2.15(h) shall not be construed to require the Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Loan Party or any other Person.

(i) Any amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party is exclusive of any value added tax, goods and services tax or other Tax of a similar nature which might be chargeable in connection with that amount. If any such Tax is chargeable, the applicable Borrower or applicable other Loan Party must pay to the Agent or Lender (as applicable) (in addition to and at the same time as paying that amount) an amount equal to the amount of that Tax against the delivery of a valid invoice (where applicable).

(j) Where this Agreement or any other Loan Document requires any party to reimburse the Agent or any Lender (as the case may be) for any costs or expenses, that party must also at the same time pay and indemnify the Agent or Lender (as the case may be) against any value added tax, goods and services tax and other Tax of a similar nature incurred by the Agent or Lender (as the case may be) in respect of those costs or expenses but only to the extent that the Agent or Lender (as the case may be) (acting reasonably) determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of the Tax.

(k) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments, the expiration or cancellation of all Letters of Credit and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(l) For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 2.15, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank, and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

SECTION 2.16 Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Setoffs.

(a) All proceeds of any Collateral received by the Agent after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and all or any portion of the Loans shall have been accelerated hereunder pursuant to Section 7.02, shall upon election by the Agent or at the direction of the Required Lenders be applied, first, to, ratably, pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Agent from any Borrower (other than in connection with Secured Hedging Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations), second, ratably, to pay any expense reimbursements then due to the Issuing Bank or Lenders from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Secured Hedging Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations), third, to pay Commitments Fees, interest due and payable in respect of the Loans and LC Fees, ratably, fourth, to pay principal on the Loans and unpaid LC Disbursements and any amounts owing with respect to Secured Hedging Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations, and to cash collateralize Letters of Credit in an amount equal to the outstanding available amount thereof (it being understood that, if any Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn, any cash collateral held for the undrawn portion of such Letter of Credit shall be applied to the other Secured Obligations in the order specified in clauses first through fifth of this sentence), ratably, fifth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to the Agent or any Lender, and sixth, to the applicable Loan Party or as the U.S. Borrower shall direct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Agent shall not be required to pay any amount pursuant to this Section 2.16(a) to any holder of Secured Hedging Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations unless the holder thereof or the U.S. Borrower has provided notice to the Agent thereof prior to the date of

the applicable payment pursuant to this Section 2.16(a) and (ii) no amount received on the account of any Collateral of any Loan Party shall be applied to the payment of any Secured Obligations in respect of Excluded Swap Obligations of such Loan Party.

(b) If, following any Event of Default under Section 7.01(a) (but only to the extent that prior to the waiver of such Event of Default an Event of Default under Section 7.01(f) (with respect to the U.S. Borrower) or an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 7.02 occurs), Section 7.01(f) (with respect to the U.S. Borrower) or any acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 7.02, any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any fees, principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest and fees thereon 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 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 and fees on their respective Loans; 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, (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.08(d)) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant) and (iii) in the event that any Lender would be required to purchase any participations in Domestic Obligations as a result of the receipt by such Lender of any amount from any Foreign Borrower, such Lender shall not be required to purchase any participations in any such Domestic Obligations. Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of setoff, consolidation and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(c) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to this Agreement, 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 obligations of such Lender until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.17 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.15, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender (or its parent companies) to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The U.S. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, or if any Lender becomes a Non-Funding Lender, then such Borrower

may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to assign and delegate (and such Lender 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 to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Agent (and, if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Banks and Swingline Lenders), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and any participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit funded by such Lender, if any, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts due and payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal or participation) or such Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) 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 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the applicable Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.18 Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a) Alternate Rate of Interest. Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 2.18, if:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted Term SOFR or Adjusted CDOR, for the applicable Available Currency and such Interest Period; or

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

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the applicable Borrower delivers a new Interest Election Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.12 or a new Borrowing Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.02, (A) for Loans denominated in Dollars, any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion to Term SOFR Loans, or continuation of any Term SOFR Loans, and any Borrowing Request that requests Term SOFR Loans shall instead be deemed to be an Interest Election Request or a Borrowing Request, as applicable, for Base Rate Loans; and (2) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion to CDOR Loans, or continuation of any CDOR Loans, and any Borrowing Request that requests CDOR Loans shall instead be deemed to be an Interest Election Request or a Borrowing Request, as applicable, for Canadian Prime Rate Loans. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrowers’ receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 2.18(a), then until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant

Benchmark and (y) the applicable Borrower delivers a new Interest Election Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.12 or a new Borrowing Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.02, (A) for Loans denominated in Dollars, any Term SOFR Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, a Base Rate Loan; and (B) for Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, any CDOR Loan shall (I) on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, a Canadian Prime Rate Loan (or if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Canadian Prime Rate cannot be determined, any outstanding affected CDOR Loan shall, at the applicable Borrower’s election prior to such day (1) be prepaid by the relevant Borrower on such day or (2) solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan, such Term Benchmark Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be deemed to be a Term Benchmark Loan denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars at such time), and (II) bear interest at the Canadian Prime Rate Loan (or if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Canadian Prime Rate cannot be determined, any outstanding affected CDOR Loan shall, at the applicable Borrower’s election (1) be converted into Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of Canadian Dollars) immediately or (2) be prepaid in full immediately).

(b) 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 the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” with respect to Dollars 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” with respect to any Available Currency for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders of each affected Class.

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

(d) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.18, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any

action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.18.

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

(f) Upon the Borrowers’ receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the applicable Borrower may revoke any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the applicable Borrower will be deemed to have converted any request for Term Benchmark Loans into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans (with respect to Loans denominated in Dollars) or Canadian Prime Rate Loans (with respect to Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars), as applicable. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrowers’ receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.18, (A) for Loans denominated in Dollars, any Term SOFR Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, a Base Rate Loan; and (B) for Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, any CDOR Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, a Canadian Prime Rate Loan (or if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Canadian Prime Rate cannot be determined, any outstanding affected CDOR Loan shall, at the applicable Borrower’s election prior to such day (1) be prepaid by the relevant Borrower on such day or (2) solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan, such Term Benchmark Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be deemed to be a Term Benchmark Loan denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars at such time). During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate for Loans denominated in Dollars based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate for Loans denominated in Dollars.

SECTION 2.19 Incremental Facilities.

(a) The U.S. Borrower may by written notice to the Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more (x) additional tranches of term loans of any class in Dollars or any other Alternative Currency reasonably acceptable to the Agent or new Commitments to increase the Term A-2

Loans (the commitments described in this clause (x), the “New Term Commitments”), (y) increases in Revolving Commitments under one or more of the then existing Revolving Facilities or new revolving commitments under a new revolving facility (a “New Revolving Facility”) (any such commitments described in this clause (y), the “New Revolving Commitments” and, together with the New Term Commitments, the “New Commitments”) in a Dollar Equivalent amount at any time not to exceed (other than in the case of any New Commitments with respect to Refinancing Term Loans and/or Replacement Revolving Commitments) the Maximum Incremental Amount at such time and not less than the Dollar Equivalent of $25,000,000 individually (or such lesser amount which shall be approved by the Agent or such lesser amount that shall constitute the entire remaining availability hereunder). Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the applicable Borrower proposes that the New Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than five Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Agent); provided that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the New Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Commitment. Such New Commitments shall become effective, as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that (i) subject to Section 1.11, no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Commitments, as applicable; (ii) both before and after giving effect to the making of any New Term Loans or New Revolving Loans, each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied; provided, that, in connection with any New Commitments which are being used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, the New Lenders providing such New Commitments shall be permitted to waive or limit (or not require the satisfaction of) in full or in part any of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02(b)(i) (other than the accuracy, to the extent required under Section 4.02(b)(i), of any Specified Representations and the customary specified purchase agreement representations in respect of such acquisition or investment (if any)) and Section 4.02(b)(ii) (other than with respect to any Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (f) or (g)) without the consent of the existing Lenders; (iii) subject to Section 1.11, the U.S. Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall be in pro forma compliance with Section 6.10 as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter prior to such Increased Amount Date and as in effect on such Increased Amount Date after giving effect to such New Commitments and any Investment to be consummated in connection therewith, including any pro forma adjustments in connection therewith in accordance with Section 1.14; and (iv) the New Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more supplements to this Agreement executed and delivered by the Loan Parties, the New Lenders and the Agent. The New Term Loans (other than any New Term Loans which are designated as an increase in the amount of any previously established Class of Term Loans) made on an Increased Amount Date shall be designated a separate series (a “Series”) of New Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement. In connection with the obtaining of any New Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.19(a), the U.S. Borrower shall, or shall cause the other applicable Loan Parties to, make such amendments to the Collateral Documents and take such other customary actions, if any, as the Agent may reasonably request in order to preserve and protect the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations (either prior to or within 30 days (or such longer period as to which the Agent may consent) following the Increased Amount Date for such New Commitments).

(b) On any Increased Amount Date on which New Revolving Commitments are effected under any existing Revolving Facility (but not any New Revolving Facility being established on such date), subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (a) each of the Lenders with Revolving Commitments under the applicable Revolving Facility shall assign to each Lender with a New Revolving Commitment (each, a “New Revolving Lender”) and each of the New Revolving Lenders shall purchase from each of the Lenders with Revolving Commitments under the applicable Revolving Facility, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Revolving Loans outstanding under the applicable Revolving Facility on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans will be held by existing Lenders with Revolving Loans under the applicable Revolving Facility and New Revolving Lenders ratably in

accordance with their Applicable Percentages after giving effect to the addition of such New Revolving Commitments to such Revolving Facility, (b) each such New Revolving Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Commitment under the applicable Revolving Facility and each Loan made thereunder (a “New Revolving Loan”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan under the applicable Revolving Facility and (c) each New Revolving Lender with a New Revolving Commitment under an existing Revolving Facility shall become a Lender under the applicable Revolving Facility with respect to the New Revolving Commitment and all matters relating thereto. On any Increased Amount Date on which New Revolving Commitments are effected under any New Revolving Facility, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, the Agent and the Borrowers shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to incorporate the terms of such New Revolving Facility hereunder on substantially the same terms as were applicable to the existing Revolving Facilities (except with respect to the rate of interest and the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date applicable to such New Revolving Facility and except as otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Agent).

(c) On any Increased Amount Date on which any New Term Commitments of any Class are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each Lender with a New Term Commitment (each, a “New Term Loan Lender”) of any Class shall make a Loan to the applicable Borrower (a “New Term Loan”) in the requested currency in an amount equal to its New Term Commitment of such Class, and (ii) each New Term Loan Lender of any Class shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the New Term Commitment of such Class and the New Term Loans of such Class made pursuant thereto.

(d) The terms and provisions of the New Term Loans and New Term Commitments shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the applicable supplement relating thereto, identical to the existing Term Loans; provided that (i) the final maturity date of the New Term Loans shall be no earlier than (x) the Term A-2 Maturity Date, and (y) in the case of Refinancing Term Loans, the Term Loans or Revolving Commitments refinanced therewith, and, in the case of all New Term Loans (excluding customary “bridge” facilities of up to one year so long as the long term debt into which any such customary “bridge” facility is to be automatically converted on customary terms satisfies the foregoing requirements), the mandatory prepayment provisions applicable to the New Term Loans shall not require that any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.09 apply to such New Term Loans on a greater basis than ratable basis then outstanding Term Loans, (ii) the currency, optional prepayment provisions, rate of interest and the amortization schedule applicable to any New Term Loans of each Series shall be determined by the applicable Borrower and the applicable new Lenders and shall be set forth in the applicable supplement relating thereto; provided that the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any New Term Loans will be no shorter than (x) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term A-2 Loans and (y) in the case of Refinancing Term Loans, the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans refinanced or Revolving Commitments replaced thereby (excluding customary “bridge” facilities of up to one year so long as the long term debt into which any such customary “bridge” facility is to be automatically converted on customary terms satisfies the foregoing requirements), (iii) New Term Loans shall not be guaranteed by any Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower that is not a Loan Party and shall be secured on a pari passu basis with the other Obligations pursuant to the Collateral Documents and (iv) except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date applicable to Term Loans and other than any terms that are beneficial to the holders of such debt and shall also benefit the holders of the Term Loans (and no consent shall be required from Agent or any of the Lenders to add such provision for such benefit), all other terms applicable to the New Term Loans of each Series that differ from the existing Term Loans shall be reasonably acceptable to the Agent (as evidenced by its execution of the applicable supplement relating thereto). The terms and provisions of the New Revolving Loans and New Revolving Commitments forming an increase in any then existing Revolving Facility shall be identical to the Revolving Loans and the Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Facility; provided that, with respect to any New Revolving

Facility, (i) the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date with respect thereto shall be set forth in the applicable supplement and shall be no earlier than the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date of any then outstanding Revolving Facility in effect at such time, (ii) the rate of interest and fees applicable thereto shall be determined by the applicable Borrower and the applicable new Lenders and shall be set forth in the applicable supplement relating thereto, (iii) such New Revolving Facility shall not be guaranteed by any Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower that is not a Loan Party and shall be secured on a pari passu basis with the other Obligations pursuant to the Collateral Documents and (iv) except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date applicable to Revolving Loans and other than any terms that are beneficial to the holders of such debt and shall also benefit the holders of the Revolving Loans (and no consent shall be required from Agent or any of the Lenders to add such provision for such benefit), all other terms applicable thereto that differ from the existing Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments under the existing Revolving Facilities (including, but not limited to, any currency available under or any Borrower of such New Revolving Facility) shall be reasonably acceptable to the Agent (as evidenced by the execution of the applicable supplement relating thereto).

(e) (i) Any Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans under any Term Loan Facility of such Borrower (an “Existing Class”) be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans and/or amended to lower the Effective Yield thereof (any such Term Loans which have been so converted and/or extended, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.19(e). In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the applicable Borrower shall provide a notice to the Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Class) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall be identical to the Term Loans of the Existing Class from which they are to be converted except (w) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Class, (x) (A) the interest rate and fee provisions with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be different from those applicable to the Term Loans of such Existing Class (and Extended Term Loans may provide for prepayment protection that is different from those applicable to such Existing Class) and/or (B) additional fees may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition to or in lieu of any increased margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A), (y) the supplement providing for such Extended Term Loans may provide for other terms applicable to such Extended Term Loans so long as either (A) such additional terms do not apply until all Term Loans and Commitments outstanding immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans have been repaid, terminated or returned as applicable, (B) such additional terms are less favorable to the holders of the Extended Term Loans than the corresponding Existing Class or (C) such additional terms have been approved by the Required Lenders and (z) the mandatory prepayment rights of the Extended Term Loans and such Existing Class may be different so long as the proportion (if any) of the proceeds thereof to which such Extended Term Loans are entitled is no greater on a proportionate basis than the portion of such proceeds to which the Existing Class is entitled to receive.

(ii) The Borrowers shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Class are requested to respond (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Agent). Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans of the Existing Class subject to such Extension Request converted into Extended Term Loans shall notify the Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans of the Existing Class which it has elected to convert into Extended Term Loans. In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans of the Existing Class subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans subject

to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Term Loans on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans included in each such Extension Election (subject to such rounding as the Agent deems expedient). Any Extended Term Loans shall be established on the date set forth in the applicable supplement entered into by the applicable Borrower and the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.19(e) (it being understood that by providing an Extension Election, an Extending Lender will agree to be bound thereby).

(f) Each supplement pursuant to this Section 2.19 may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers, to effect the provision of this Section 2.19.

(g) The provisions of this Section 2.19 shall override any provisions of Section 9.02 to the contrary and, for the avoidance of doubt Section 2.09(b).

SECTION 2.20 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) Commitment Fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitments of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a);

(b) the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders (or other requisite percentage of any Lenders pursuant to Article VII or Section 9.02) 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 such Lender or each Lender affected thereby;

(c) if any Swingline Exposure or Letters of Credit or LC Disbursements are outstanding under a Revolving Facility under which such Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Lender, then

(i) all or any part of the participation of such Defaulting Lender in Swingline Exposure, Letters of Credit and LC Disbursements (other than, in the case of Defaulting Lender that is a Swingline Lender, the portion of such Swingline Exposure referred to in clause (b) of the definition of such term) shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders under such Revolving Facility in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposure under such Revolving Facility plus such Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Letters of Credit, Swingline Exposure and LC Disbursements does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Facility;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the applicable Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure, and (y) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Letters of Credit and LC Disbursements under such Revolving Facility (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(j) for so long as such Letters of Credit or LC Disbursements are outstanding;

(iii) if the applicable Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, such Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(ii) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.10(a) and Section 2.10(b)(ii) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any applicable Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.10(b)(ii) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank that has issued the Letters of Credit accounting for such LC Exposure until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Swingline Lenders shall be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the applicable Borrower in accordance with Section 2.20(c), and Swingline Exposure related to any newly made Swingline Loan or LC Exposure related to newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to a Lender Parent shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) any Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Bank shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender, satisfactory to such Issuing Bank to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

In the event that the Agent, the Borrowers, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lenders 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 participation obligations in respect of LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Revolving Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Revolving Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

(a) There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the U.S. Borrower, threatened against 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) on the Closing Date, that involve any Loan Documents or the Transactions.

SECTION 3.15 Solvency.

(a) Immediately after the consummation of the Transactions to occur on the Closing Date, (i) the fair value of the assets of the Loan Parties on a consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of the Loan Parties on a consolidated basis; (ii) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Loan Parties on a consolidated basis will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Loan Parties on a consolidated basis, on their debts and other liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (iii) the Loan Parties on a consolidated basis will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (iv) the Loan Parties on a consolidated basis will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date.

(b) The Loan Parties do not intend to incur debts beyond their ability to pay such debts as they mature, taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by the Loan Parties and the timing and amounts of cash to be payable by the Loan Parties on or in respect of their Indebtedness.

SECTION 3.16 Insurance. Schedule 9 to the Perfection Certificate delivered on the Closing Date sets forth a true, complete and correct description of all commercial insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Loan Parties and the Restricted Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date and after giving effect thereto (including the Spin-Off as though the Final Distribution had been made on such date). As of the Closing Date and after giving effect thereto (including the Spin-Off as though the Final Distribution had been made on such date), all such insurance is in full force and effect and all premiums in respect of such insurance have been duly paid. The U.S. Borrower believes that the insurance maintained by or on behalf of the U.S. Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries is adequate and is in accordance with normal industry practice.

All of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of the Restricted Subsidiaries owned by any Loan Party have been (to the extent such concepts are relevant with respect to such ownership interests) duly authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens created under the Loan Documents).

SECTION 3.18 Security Interest in Collateral. The provisions of the Collateral Documents create legal and valid Liens on all the Collateral in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties; and upon the proper filing of UCC financing statements required pursuant to Section 4.01(k) and any Mortgages with respect to Mortgaged Properties and with regard to Collateral that is perfected by control, upon delivery of possession or control, which shall be delivered to the extent required by the Collateral Documents, such Liens constitute perfected and continuing Liens on the Collateral, securing the Secured Obligations, enforceable against the applicable Loan Party and all third parties, and having priority over all other Liens on the Collateral except Permitted Liens but only to the extent that such Liens are required to be perfected by the terms of the Loan Documents (including Section 5.11(c)).

SECTION 3.21 Anti-Corruption and Sanctions Laws.

(a) The U.S. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have implemented and maintain in effect policies and procedures reasonably designed to promote compliance by the U.S. Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers and employees while acting on behalf of the U.S. Borrower or its Subsidiaries with applicable Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions. The U.S. Borrower, its Subsidiaries and to the knowledge of the U.S. Borrower, their respective directors, officers and employees, are in compliance with applicable (i) Anti-Corruption Laws in all material respects and (ii) Sanctions in all material respects and are not knowingly engaged in any activity that would reasonably be expected to result in any such Person being designated as a Sanctioned Person. None of (a) the U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary or (b) to the knowledge of the U.S. Borrower, any director, officer,

104

employee or agent of the U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from the credit facilities established hereby, is a Sanctioned Person. No Borrowing or Letter of Credit, use of proceeds or other transaction contemplated by this Agreement will violate any Anti-Corruption Law or applicable Sanctions.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, each Loan Party (other than any Foreign Borrower) will, and will cause each Loan Party (other than any Foreign Borrower) 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 of the type required by Article IV, as applicable), 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 (subject to the limitations with respect to Equity Interests set forth in Section 5.11(b) above, the limitations with respect to real property set forth in Section 5.11(f) below and any other limitations set forth in the Security Agreement), all at the expense of the Loan Parties.

(e) If, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, Domestic Subsidiaries that are Excluded Subsidiaries solely because they are Immaterial Subsidiaries comprise in the aggregate more than 5.0% of Total Assets as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the U.S. Borrower or more than 5.0% of EBITDA of the U.S. Borrower for the most recently ended Test Period, then the U.S. Borrower shall, not later than 60 days after the date by which financial statements for such quarter are required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement, cause one or more such Domestic Subsidiaries to become additional Loan Parties (notwithstanding that such Domestic Subsidiaries are, individually, Immaterial Subsidiaries) such that the foregoing condition ceases to be true.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.11, real property required to be mortgaged under this Section 5.11 shall be limited to real property located in the United States of America owned in fee by a Loan Party having a book value of $15,000,000 or more and that does not otherwise constitute an Excluded Asset (as defined in the Security Agreement) (provided that the cost

113

of perfecting such Lien is not unreasonable in relation to the benefits to the Lenders of the security afforded thereby in the Agent’s reasonable judgment after consultation with the U.S. Borrower).

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this definition or anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, (a) the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.11 (or other provision of the Loan Documents) shall not require the creation or perfection of pledges of or security interests in, or the obtaining of title insurance, legal opinions or other deliverables with respect to, particular assets of the Loan Parties, or the provision of guarantees by any Subsidiary, if, and for so long as and to the extent that the Agents and the U.S. Borrower reasonably agree in writing that the cost of creating or perfecting such pledges or security interests in such assets, or obtaining such title insurance, legal opinions or other deliverables in respect of such assets, or providing such guarantees (taking into account any material adverse Tax consequences to the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries (including the imposition of withholding or other material Taxes)), shall be excessive in view of the benefits to be obtained by the Lenders therefrom, (b) in no event shall control agreements or other control or similar arrangements be required with respect to deposit accounts, securities accounts or commodities accounts, (c) no perfection actions shall be required with respect to vehicles and other assets subject to certificates of title (other than the filing of UCC financing statements), (d) no perfection actions shall be required with respect to promissory notes evidencing debt for borrowed money in a principal amount of less than $10,000,000 (other than the filing of UCC financing statements), (e) no actions in any non-U.S. jurisdiction or required by the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction shall be required to be taken to create any security interests in assets located or titled outside of the United States (including any Equity Interests of Foreign Subsidiaries and any foreign intellectual property) or to perfect or make enforceable any security interests in any such assets (it being understood that there shall be no security agreements or pledge agreements governed under the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction), (f) no actions shall be required to create or perfect a security interest in commercial tort claims or letter of credit rights with a value less than $10,000,000 (other than, with respect to letter of credit rights, the filing of UCC financing statements) and (g) in no event shall the Collateral include any Excluded Assets. The Agent may grant extensions of time or waivers for the creation and perfection of security interests in or the obtaining of title insurance, legal opinions or other deliverables with respect to particular assets or the provision of any guarantee by any Subsidiary where it determines that such action cannot be accomplished without undue effort or expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required to be accomplished by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 5.12 Post-Closing Requirements. Except as otherwise agreed by the Agent in its sole discretion, the U.S. Borrower shall, and shall cause each of the other Loan Parties to, deliver each of the documents, instruments and agreements and take each of the actions set forth on Schedule 5.12, if any, within the time periods set forth therein (or such longer time periods as determined by the Agent in its sole discretion).

SECTION 5.13 Spin-Off.

(e) For purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that, if such Indebtedness is incurred to extend, replace, refund, refinance, renew or defease other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such extension, replacement, refunding,

120

refinancing, renewal or defeasance would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance, such Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being extended, replaced, refunded, refinanced, renewed or defeased.

(f) The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to extend, replace, refund, refinance, renew or defease other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being extended, replaced, refunded, refinanced, renewed or defeased, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 6.01, no Restricted Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor shall incur any Indebtedness or issue any Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock under clauses (xv), (xvi) and (xx) of Section 6.01(b) (the foregoing provisions (except to the extent specifically excluded) being referred to collectively as the “Limited Guarantor Debt Exceptions”) if the amount of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock, when aggregated with the amount of all other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock outstanding under the Limited Guarantor Debt Exceptions (together with any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof) would exceed the greater of (A) $30,000,000 and (B) 7.5% of EBITDA for the most recently ended Test Period as of the time such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is incurred; provided that in no event shall any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor (i) existing at the time it became a Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) assumed in connection with any acquisition, merger or acquisition of minority interests of a non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiary (and in the case of subclauses (i) and (ii), not created in contemplation of such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary or such acquisition, merger or acquisition of minority interests) be deemed to be Indebtedness outstanding under the Limited Guarantor Debt Exceptions for purposes of this clause (g).

SECTION 6.02 Limitation on Liens.

ARTICLE VIII

THE AGENT

SECTION 8.01 Agency Provisions.

(a) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Agent in the heading of this Agreement and its successors and assigns to serve as the administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and each Lender and each Issuing Bank authorizes the Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Agent under such agreements and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Agent is a party, and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Agent may have under such Loan Documents.

(b) As to any matters not expressly provided for herein and in the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, pursuant to the terms in the Loan Documents), and, unless and until revoked in writing, such instructions shall be binding upon each Lender and each Issuing Bank; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless the Agent receives an indemnification and is exculpated in a manner satisfactory to it from the Lenders and the Issuing Banks with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Laws or requirement of law that may affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting lender in violation of Debtor Relief Laws; provided, further, that the Agent may seek clarification or direction from the Required Lenders prior to the exercise of any such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided. 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 the Borrowers, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(c) In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (except in limited circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the maintenance of the Register), and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature. The motivations of the Agent are commercial in nature and not to invest in the general performance or operations of the Borrowers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

137

(i) the Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or duty or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender, Issuing Bank or holder of any other obligation other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties); additionally, each Lender agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Agent in connection with this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby;

(ii) where the Agent is required or deemed to act as a trustee in respect of any Collateral over which a security interest has been created pursuant to a Loan Document expressed to be governed by the laws of United States, or is required or deemed to hold any Collateral “on trust” pursuant to the foregoing, the obligations and liabilities of the Agent to the Secured Parties in its capacity as trustee shall be excluded to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law; and

(iii) nothing in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall require the Agent to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by the Agent for its own account;

(d) [Reserved].

(e) None of the Joint Lead Arrangers or any other arranger shall have obligations or duties whatsoever in such capacity under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and shall incur no liability hereunder or thereunder in such capacity, but all such persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder.

(f) In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party under any Federal, state, provincial or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Disbursements and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Agent (including any claim under Sections 1.07, 1.12 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each other Secured Party to make such payments to the Agent and, in the event that the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Agent, under the Loan Documents

138

(including under Section 9.03). Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or Issuing Bank or to authorize the Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or Issuing Bank in any such proceeding.

(g) The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and, except solely to the extent of the Borrowers’ rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, none of the Borrowers or any Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates, shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary under any such provisions. 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 provisions of this Article.

(h) 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.

(i) The Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders and Issuing Banks (including in its capacities as a holder of Secured Hedging Obligations and Secured Cash Management Obligations, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Agent for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article VIII and Article IX (as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

(j) 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 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, bad faith or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment. 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 U.S. 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)

139

the value or sufficiency of the Collateral or 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.

(k) 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 may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), 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.

(l) 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. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Agent acted with gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.

(m) The Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the U.S. Borrower, whether or not a successor Agent has been appointed. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York or an Affiliate of any such bank. In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the U.S. Borrower (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent. Upon the acceptance of appointment as Agent by a successor Agent, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Prior to any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the retiring Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Agent its rights as Agent under the Loan Documents.

(n) Notwithstanding paragraph (m) above, in the event no successor Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the U.S. Borrower, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the Agent under any Collateral Document for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the retiring Agent shall continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and continue to be entitled to the rights set forth in such Collateral Document and Loan Document, and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of the Agent, shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case until such time as a successor Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment

140

in accordance with this Section (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any further action under any Collateral Document, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such security interest), and (ii) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent; provided that (A) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Agent for the account of any Person other than the Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (B) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Agent shall directly be given or made to each Lender and each Issuing Bank. Following the effectiveness of the Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, 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 the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under clause (i) above.

(o) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility, (ii) in participating as a Lender, it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and in providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender or Issuing Bank, in each case in the ordinary course of business, and not for the purpose of investing in the general performance or operations of the Borrowers, or for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument such as a security (and each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing, such as a claim under the federal, state or provincial securities law), (iii) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any arranger, or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder and (iv) it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any arranger or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrowers and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(p) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement on the Closing Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Agent or the Lenders on the Closing Date.

(q) (i) Each Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Agent notifies such Lender that the Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter (or such later date as the Agent, may, in

141

its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Agent to any Lender under this Section 8.01(p) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

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

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

(iii) Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.01(p) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.

(r) The Joint Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Co-Documentation Agents, other arrangers, co-arrangers, joint bookrunners, co-syndication agents and the co-documentation agent shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such.

(s) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to, upon the request of the U.S. Borrower, enter into any intercreditor agreement with any agent under any Receivables Facility of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms thereof that are applicable to it thereunder.

142

(t) Any supplement to this agreement effecting any Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower becoming an Additional Foreign Borrower may include “parallel debt” provisions or similar customary provisions for credit facilities of borrowers organized in the jurisdiction of organization of such Additional Foreign Borrower.

SECTION 8.02 Credit Bidding. The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 9.02 of this Agreement), (iv) the Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

143

SECTION 8.03 Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable laws, the Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.15, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, within ten days after written demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Agent under this Article VIII. For the avoidance of doubt, a “Lender” shall, for purposes of this paragraph, include any Issuing Bank. The agreements in this paragraph shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

if to any other Lender (including the Swingline Lender), to it at its address or facsimile number set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire.

All such notices and other communications (i) sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received or (ii) sent by facsimile shall

145

be deemed to have been given when sent and when receipt has been confirmed by telephone; provided that if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient.

(b) Notices and other communications to the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereunder may be delivered or furnished by using the Approved Electronic Platform pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the Agent and the applicable Lender. The Agent or the U.S. Borrower (on behalf of the Loan Parties) may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

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

(c) Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.

(d) Electronic Systems.

(i) Each Loan Party agrees that the Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make Communications (as defined below) available to the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders by posting the Communications on IntraLinks™, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by the Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).

(ii) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Banks and the Loan Parties acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform, and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Banks and the Loan Parties hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank by means

146

of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Approved Electronic Platform.

(iii) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND 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 APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGENT, ANY ARRANGER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.

SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay by the Agent, any 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 9.02, 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 or issuing of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Subject to Section 2.18(b) and (c), 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 Borrowers and the Required Lenders 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 the 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 Article IV or the waiver of any Default or mandatory prepayment shall not constitute an increase of any Commitment of any Lender, (B) reduce or

147

forgive the principal amount of any Loan or reimbursement obligation hereunder with respect to LC Disbursements or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder or change the currency in which any such amount is required to be paid, 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 any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder or the reimbursement of any LC Disbursement, 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 2.11(c) providing for the default rate of interest, or to waive any obligations of any Borrower to pay interest at such default rate, (D) change Section 2.16(a) or (b), the definition of “Applicable Percentage” or any provision which addresses the relative priorities of the sharing of payments in a manner that would alter the manner in which such payments are shared, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, (E) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.02 or the definition of “Required Lenders,” “Required Class Lenders,” or “Required Revolving 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 adversely affected thereby, (F) (x) subordinate the liens securing any of the Obligations on all or substantially all of the Collateral to the liens on the Collateral securing any other Indebtedness, (y) subordinate the Loans hereunder in contractual right of payment to any other Indebtedness, or (z) release all or substantially all liens on the Collateral, or the Subsidiary Guarantors or the U.S. Borrower from their or its obligation under its Loan Guaranty (except (i) in each case of clause (x) and (z) hereof, as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents, in each case, as in effect on the Closing Date or (ii) in each case of clause (x) and (y) hereof, to the extent each Lender is offered the opportunity to provide its pro rata share of the priming Indebtedness on the same terms (other than bona fide backstop fees and any arrangement or restructuring fees)), without the written consent of each Lender, (G) except as provided in clauses (c) and (d) of this Section 9.02 or in any Collateral Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender, (H) amend the definition of “Secured Obligations,” “Secured Hedge Obligations,” or “Secured Cash Management Obligations” without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby or (I) waive any condition set forth in Section 4.02 as to any Borrowing under one or more Revolving Facilities without the written consent of the Required Revolving Lenders (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no consent of the Required Lenders shall be required); provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise (x) affect the rights or duties of the Agent, Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent, Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable or (y) make any change to the documents that by its terms affects the rights of any Class of Lenders to receive payments in any manner different than any other Class of Lenders without the written consent of the Required Class Lenders of such Class. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no amendment shall require any Revolving Lender to make Revolving Loans to a Borrower other than the applicable Borrowers under such Revolving Facility without the consent of such Revolving Lender.

(c) The Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral shall be automatically released (i) upon the Discharge of Obligations, (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) 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, (iv) to the extent the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Loan Guarantor, upon the release of such Loan Guarantor from its obligations under its Loan Guaranty in accordance with the provisions of this

148

Agreement, (v) 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 Documents or (vi) with respect to any Mortgaged Property, upon such Mortgaged Property becoming an Excluded Asset (as defined in the Security Agreement). 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. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Agent to release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by paragraph (q) of the definition of Permitted Liens (solely as it relates to Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Sections 6.01(b)(vi) or (b)(xxi)) (in each case, to the extent required by the terms of the obligations secured by such Liens) pursuant to documents reasonably acceptable to the Agent).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.02, (A) guarantees and related documents, if any, executed by Foreign 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 U.S. 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 or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (B) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of a particular Class (but not the Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any other Class) and is not adverse in any material respect to any other Class may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into solely by the U.S. Borrower, the Agent and the requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders stating that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at time.

(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 the U.S. Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement (or to replace such Non-Consenting Lender from the Class for which consent is being sought); provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the U.S. Borrower and the Agent, and, with respect to assignees that are Revolving Lenders, each Issuing Bank shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations 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)(ii) 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 applicable Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by such Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.14 and 2.15 (assuming that the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender have been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender).

(f) if the Agent and the U.S. Borrower acting together identify any ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Agent and the U.S. Borrower shall be permitted to amend, modify or supplement such

149

provision to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect, and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

(g) In the event that each of the Agent, the Borrower, each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

(a) The U.S. Borrower shall pay (and, to the extent directly attributable to the facilities provided to any Foreign Borrower hereunder, each Foreign Borrower shall severally and not jointly with the U.S. Borrower be obligated to pay) (i) all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, counsel for the Agent, and each other local non-U.S. counsel for the Agent 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 and 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 all such parties, taken as a whole (and, solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel for each group of affected parties and if reasonably necessary, one local counsel per relevant jurisdiction but excluding allocated fees and costs of in-house counsel), 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 and other extensions of credit 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 Borrowers 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 U.S. 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.

(b) The Borrowers shall indemnify the Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, in their capacities as such, 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 reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee (limited to one counsel for all Indemnitees, taken as a whole (and, solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional

150

counsel for each group of affected Indemnitees and if reasonably necessary, one local counsel per relevant jurisdiction but excluding allocated fees and costs of in-house counsel)), 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, (ii) any Environmental Liability related in any way to the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or to any property owned or operated by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (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 any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates) or (iv) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom; 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, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, or a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnitee under any Loan Document, or have not resulted from an act or omission by the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates and have been brought by an Indemnitee against any other Indemnitee (other than any claims against any of the Joint Lead Arrangers in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as a Joint Lead Arranger, an Agent or any similar role hereunder). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Agent under clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 9.03, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, 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, any Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this clause (d) shall relieve any Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.

(e) Other than to the extent required to be paid on the Closing Date, all amounts due under clauses (a) and (b) above shall be payable by the applicable Borrower within ten Business Days of receipt of an invoice relating thereto and setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail. All amounts due from the Lenders under clause (c) above 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 and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) except as permitted by Section 6.03 or the definition of “Change of Control,” no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or

151

transfer by any such 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. 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 (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), 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, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(A) the U.S. Borrower; provided that, the U.S. Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment of Term Loans unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Agent within ten Business Days after having received written notice thereof; provided that no consent of the U.S. Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default specified in paragraph (a), (f) or (g) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee;

(B) the Agent; provided that no consent of the Agent shall be required for an assignment of (x) any Revolving Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) with a Revolving Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment and (y) all or any portion of a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(C) each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender; provided that no consent of the Issuing Banks and Swingline Lender shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan.

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or 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) shall not be less than, (x) in the case of any Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans, $5,000,000, and (y) in the case of a Term Loan, $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof,, in each case unless each of the U.S. Borrower and the Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of the U.S. Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default specified in paragraph (a), (f), or (g) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a

152

proportionate part of all the assigning ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent (x) an Assignment and Assumption or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants), together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Loan Parties and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal, state and provincial securities laws.

For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the terms “Approved Fund” and “Ineligible Institution” have the following meanings:

“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

“Ineligible Institution” means (a) a natural person, (b) a Defaulting Lender or its Lender Parent, (c) a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person or relative(s) thereof, (d) a Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or (e) a Disqualified Lender; provided that, with respect to clause (c), such holding company, investment vehicle or trust shall not constitute an Ineligible Institution if it (x) has not been established for the primary purpose of acquiring any Loans or Commitments, (y) is managed by a professional advisor, who is not such natural person or a relative thereof, having significant experience in the business of making or purchasing commercial loans, and (z) has assets greater than $25,000,000 and a significant part of its activities consist of making or purchasing commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business.

(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 of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 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.

153

(iv) The Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements 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 each Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower, and solely with respect to their own interests, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In no event shall the Agent have any responsibility or liability for monitoring the list or identities of, or enforcing provisions relating to, Disqualified Lenders. Agent shall have the right, and the Borrowers hereby expressly authorize the Agent, to provide the list of Disqualified Lenders to any Lender or prospective Lender, and each such Lender may distribute such list, on a confidential basis, to any Participant or prospective Participant.

(v) Upon its receipt of (x) a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants), the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (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 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 2.02, 2.04, 2.16(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 paragraph.

(c) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower, the Agent, Swingline Lender or the Issuing Banks, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”), other than an Ineligible Institution, in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (C) each Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Banks 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. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D), (F)(z) and (G) of the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14 and 2.15 (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections, it being understood and agreed that the documentation required under Section 2.15(g) shall be delivered solely to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.15, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive,

154

except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the applicable Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the applicable Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations or Proposed Section 1.163-5(b) (or, in each case, any amended or successor sections) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, 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 Lender as a party hereto.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04 or any other provision of this Agreement, the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries may, but shall not be required to, purchase outstanding Term Loans (x) pursuant to the Auction Procedures established for each such purchase in an auction managed by the Auction Manager or (y) through open market purchases, subject solely to the following conditions:

(i) (x) with respect to any Borrower Loan Purchase pursuant to the Auction Procedures, at the time of the applicable Purchase Notice (as defined in Exhibit K), no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, and (y) with respect to any Borrower Loan Purchase consummated through an open market purchase, at the trade date of the applicable assignment, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom;

(ii) immediately upon any Borrower Loan Purchase, the Term Loans purchased pursuant thereto shall be cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold, assigned or participated out by the U.S. Borrower) for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to (A) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (B) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (C) the providing of any rights to the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries as a Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (D) the determination of Required Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document;

155

(iii) with respect to each Borrower Loan Purchase, the Agent shall receive (x) if such Borrower Loan Purchase is consummated pursuant to the Auction Procedures, a fully executed and completed Borrower Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment thereof, and (y) if such Borrower Loan Purchase is consummated pursuant to an open market purchase, a fully executed and completed Open Market Assignment and Assumption Agreement effecting the assignment thereof;

(iv) the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries may not use the proceeds of any Revolving Loan to fund the purchase of outstanding Loans pursuant to this Section 9.04(e); and

(v) neither the U.S. Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries will be required to represent or warrant that they are not in possession of non-public information with respect to the U.S. Borrower and/or any Subsidiary thereof and/or their respective securities in connection with any purchase permitted by this Section 9.04(e).

(f) (i) No assignment shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Lender as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the applicable Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the U.S. Borrower has consented to such assignment as otherwise contemplated by this Section 9.04, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Lender for the purpose of such assignment). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee that becomes a Disqualified Lender at any time after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Lender”), (x) such assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender and (y) for purposes of assignments subsequent to such time, the execution by the U.S. Borrower of an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Lender. Any assignment in violation of this clause (f)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (f) shall apply.

(ii) If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Lender without the U.S. Borrower’s prior written consent in violation of this Section 9.04, the U.S. Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Lender and the Agent, (A) terminate any Revolving Commitment of such Disqualified Lender and repay all obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Disqualified Lender in connection with such Revolving Commitment, (B) in the case of outstanding Term Loans held by Disqualified Lenders, purchase or prepay such Loans by paying the lowest of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such Loans, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and/or (C) require such Disqualified Lender to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 9.04), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Persons (other than an Ineligible Institution) at the lowest of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Lenders (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary, the Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or

156

financial advisors of the Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Lender will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Lender consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any Bankruptcy Plan, each Disqualified Lender party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Bankruptcy Plan, (2) if such Disqualified ▇▇▇▇▇▇ does vote on such Bankruptcy Plan notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Bankruptcy Plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the United States Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).

The processing and recordation fee set forth in Section 9.04(b)(ii)(C) shall not be applicable to any Borrower Loan Purchase consummated pursuant to this Section 9.04(e).

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 Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Discharge of Obligations or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.

(a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Fee Letter, dated as of July 20, 2023, by and among Aramark Uniform & Career Apparel, LLC and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Article IV, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Agent and when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

(b) Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of (x) this Agreement, (y) any other Loan Document and/or (z) any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any notice delivered pursuant to Section 9.01), certificate, request,

157

statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or the transactions contemplated hereby and/or thereby (each an “Ancillary Document”) that is an Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement, such other Loan Document or such Ancillary Document, as applicable. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in any electronic form (including deliveries by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page), each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be; provided that nothing herein shall require the Agent to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent and pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Agent has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, the Agent and each of the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party without further verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any such Electronic signature and (ii) upon the request of the Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Loan Parties hereby (A) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Agent, the Lenders and the Loan Parties, Electronic Signatures transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page and/or any electronic images of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, (B) the Agent and each of the Lenders may, at its option, create one or more copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document in the form of an imaged electronic record in any format, which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document (and all such electronic records shall be considered an original for all purposes and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record), (C) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document and/or such Ancillary Document, respectively, including with respect to any signature pages thereto and (D) waives any claim against any Lender or Related Party thereof for any liabilities arising solely from the Agent’s and/or any Lender’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures and/or transmissions by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page, including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of any Loan Party to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.

SECTION 9.07 Severability. To the extent permitted by law, any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor against any of and all the Secured Obligations held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made

158

any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured. The applicable Lender shall notify such Borrower and the Agent of such setoff or application; provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such setoff or application under this Section 9.08. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, AT ANY TIME THAT ANY OF THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS SHALL BE SECURED BY REAL PROPERTY LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE A RIGHT OF SETOFF, ▇▇▇▇▇▇’S LIEN OR COUNTERCLAIM OR TAKE ANY COURT OR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION OR INSTITUTE ANY PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY LOAN DOCUMENT UNLESS IT IS TAKEN WITH THE CONSENT OF THE LENDERS REQUIRED BY SECTION 9.02 OF THIS AGREEMENT, IF SUCH SETOFF OR ACTION OR PROCEEDING WOULD OR MIGHT (PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 580a, 580b, 580d AND 726 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OR SECTION 2924 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, IF APPLICABLE, OR OTHERWISE) AFFECT OR IMPAIR THE VALIDITY, PRIORITY, OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE LIENS GRANTED TO THE AGENT PURSUANT TO THE COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS OR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THE OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AND ANY ATTEMPTED EXERCISE BY ANY LENDER OR ANY SUCH RIGHT WITHOUT OBTAINING SUCH CONSENT OF THE PARTIES AS REQUIRED ABOVE, SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE SOLELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF EACH OF THE LENDERS.

SECTION 9.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any U.S. Federal or New York State court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.09. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each of the Foreign Borrowers hereby designates the U.S. Borrower as its representative and agent on its behalf for the purposes of issuing notices, giving instructions, giving and receiving all notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other

159

actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of any Borrower or all Borrowers under the Loan Documents. The U.S. Borrower hereby accepts such appointment. The Administrative Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document from the U.S. Borrower as a notice or communication from all Borrowers and may give any notice or communication required or permitted to be given to any Borrower or all Borrowers hereunder to the U.S. Borrower on behalf of such Borrower or Borrowers. The Borrowers agree that each notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made by the U.S. Borrower shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by all Borrowers and shall be binding upon and enforceable against all Borrowers to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrowers, but, in each case, only to the extent such notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant, agreement or undertaking applies by its terms to such Borrowers. Each of the Foreign Borrowers hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers the U.S. Borrower (the “Process Agent”), in the case of any suit, action or proceeding brought in the United States of America as its designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf, and in respect of its property, service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents that may be served in any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Such service may be made by mailing (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) or delivering a copy of such process to such Foreign Borrower in care of the Process Agent at the Process Agent’s above address, and each of the Foreign Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf. As an alternative method of service, each of the Foreign Borrowers irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) of copies of such process to the Process Agent or such Foreign Borrower at its address specified in Section 9.01. The U.S. Borrower hereby acknowledges and accepts its appointment as Process Agent for each of the Foreign Borrowers and the corresponding rights and obligations set forth in this paragraph (d).

(e) To the extent permitted by law, each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably waives personal service of any and all process upon it and agrees that all such service of process may be made by registered mail (return receipt requested) directed to it at its address for notices as provided for in Section 9.01 or, in the case of any Foreign Borrower, as provided for in Section 9.09(d). Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(f) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as the case may be, with such other currency at the spot rate of exchange quoted by the Agent at 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given, for the purchase of Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as the case may be, for delivery two Business Days thereafter. The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Agent in the Agreement Currency, each Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss.

160

SECTION 9.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.10.

SECTION 9.11 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.12 Confidentiality. The Agent and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and it and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel, market data collectors and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory, governmental or administrative authority, (c) to the extent required by law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially similar to or consistent with those of this Section 9.12, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any pledgee referred to in Section 9.04(d) or (iii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Loan Parties and their obligations, (g) with the consent of the U.S. Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.12 or (ii) becomes available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Borrower. For the purposes of this Section 9.12, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any Foreign Borrower relating to the Loan Parties, the Subsidiaries or their respective businesses or the Transactions other than any such information that is available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any of the Subsidiaries or that becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach by such Agent or Lender of its obligations hereunder. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.12 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised substantially 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. Each Lender hereby represents that (a) it is not relying on or looking to any Margin Stock for the repayment of the Borrowings and other credit extensions provided for herein and acknowledges that the Collateral shall not include any Margin Stock and (b) it is not and will not become a “creditor” as defined in Regulation T or a “foreign branch of a broker-dealer” within the meaning of

161

Regulation X. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to any Borrower in violation of any Requirement of Law.

SECTION 9.14 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act or the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of such Act or Acts, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Loan Party in accordance with such Acts. Each Loan Party shall, promptly following a request by the Agent (on behalf of itself or any Lender), provide all reasonable documentation and other information that the Agent or such Lender reasonably requests that is a Requirement of Law in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act and the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada).

SECTION 9.15 Disclosure. Each Loan Party and each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Agent and/or its Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, make other loans to or have other relationships with any of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates.

SECTION 9.16 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.16 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the 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.

SECTION 9.17 Material Non-Public Information.

(a) EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12(a) FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING EACH BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

(b) ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY ANY BORROWER OR THE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWERS AND THE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT

162

CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.

SECTION 9.18 No Fiduciary Duty, etc.

(a) Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that no Credit Party will have any obligations except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and each Credit Party is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Borrowers with respect to the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated herein and therein and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, any Borrower or any other person. Each Borrower agrees that it will not assert any claim against any Credit Party based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Credit Party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Additionally, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no Credit Party is advising any Borrower as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting, regulatory or any other matters in any jurisdiction. Each Borrower shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated herein or in the other Loan Documents, and the Credit Parties shall have no responsibility or liability to the Borrowers with respect thereto.

(b) Each Borrower further acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party, together with its Affiliates, in addition to providing or participating in commercial lending facilities such as that provided hereunder, is a full service securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, any Credit Party may provide investment banking and other financial services to, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for its own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, any Borrower and other companies with which the Borrowers may have commercial or other relationships. With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any Credit Party or any of its customers, all rights in respect of such securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion.

(c) In addition, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party and its affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which the Borrowers may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise. No Credit Party will use confidential information obtained from any Borrower by virtue of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or its other relationships with the Borrowers in connection with the performance by such Credit Party of services for other companies, and no Credit Party will furnish any such information to other companies. Each Borrower also acknowledges that no Credit Party has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or to furnish to the Borrower, confidential information obtained from other companies.

SECTION 9.19 Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Agreement in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 9.19 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 9.19, or otherwise under this Agreement, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount).

163

The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 9.19 shall remain in full force and effect until the satisfaction and discharge of all Guaranteed Obligations. The U.S. Borrower and each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 9.19 constitute, and this Section 9.19 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of the U.S. Borrower and each Qualified ECP Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

SECTION 9.20 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

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

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

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

SECTION 9.21 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for swap agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents

164

that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

SECTION 9.22 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrowers in respect of any such sum due from it to the Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Agent or any Lender from the Borrowers in the Agreement Currency, the Borrowers agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Agent or any Lender in such Agreement Currency, the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrowers (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under Applicable law).

SECTION 9.23 Certain ERISA Matters.

(a) 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, the Joint Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers 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 Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement;

(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;

165

(iii) (I) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (II) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (III) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (IV) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied 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; or

(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

(b) In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with 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 not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, that the Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

ARTICLE X

LOAN GUARANTY

SECTION 10.01 Guaranty.

(a) Each Loan Guarantor hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Secured Parties the prompt and complete payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured Obligations (collectively, together with the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Loan Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. For the avoidance of doubt, unless required by applicable law, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree to report consistently therewith that each Loan Guarantor that is a Domestic Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower shall be treated as a primary obligor of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations for U.S. federal and state tax purposes.

(b) The U.S. Borrower hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Secured Parties the prompt and complete payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured Obligations (other than Secured Obligations that are expressly the obligations of the U.S. Borrower pursuant to the terms of any Loan Document, Hedge Agreement or Cash Management Agreement, which Secured Obligations shall continue

166

to be the primary obligations of the U.S. Borrower) (collectively the “U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations”). The U.S. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ further agrees that the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. The provisions of this Article X (other than Section 10.12) shall apply equally to the U.S. Borrower as guarantor of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations as such provisions apply to the Loan Guarantors as guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 10.02 Guaranty of Payment. This Loan Guaranty is a continuing guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Loan Guarantor waives any right to require the Agent or any Secured Party to sue any Borrower, any Loan Guarantor, any other guarantor, or any other Person obligated for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (each, an “Obligated Party”), or otherwise to enforce its payment against any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 10.03 No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guaranty.

(a) Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations), including (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower or any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party, or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Loan Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, the Agent, any Secured Party, or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions.

(b) The obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.

(c) Further, the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the Agent or any Secured Party to assert any claim or demand, increase or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection, or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of any Borrower for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by the Agent or any Secured Party with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Loan Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations).

SECTION 10.04 Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations from any cause,

167

or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Obligated Party, or any other Person. The Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part of the Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Loan Guarantor against any Obligated Party or any security.

SECTION 10.05 Rights of Subrogation. No Loan Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Obligated Party, or any collateral, until the Loan Parties and the Loan Guarantors have fully performed all their obligations to the Agent and the Secured Parties.

SECTION 10.06 Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, each Loan Guarantor’s obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Loan Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Secured Party.

SECTION 10.07 Information. Each Loan Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Loan Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Loan Guaranty, and agrees that neither the Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any duty to advise any Loan Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.

SECTION 10.08 [Reserved].

SECTION 10.09 Maximum Liability. The provisions of this Loan Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, Federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Loan Guarantor’s liability under this Loan Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Loan Guarantors or the Secured Parties, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Loan Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”). This Section 10.09 with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Secured Parties to the maximum extent not subject to

168

avoidance under applicable law, and no Loan Guarantor nor any other Person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section 10.09 with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Loan Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor without impairing this Loan Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder; provided that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.

SECTION 10.10 Contribution. In the event any Loan Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Loan Guaranty or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Loan Guaranty, each other Loan Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Guarantor Percentage” of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this Article X, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Guarantor Percentage” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from any Borrower after the Closing Date (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Loan Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Loan Guarantor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Loan Guarantors from any Borrower after the Closing Date (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any Loan Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Loan Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Loan Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Loan Guaranty from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. This provision is for the benefit of both the Agent, the Secured Parties and the Loan Guarantors and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.

SECTION 10.11 Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Loan Party as a Loan Guarantor under this Article X is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Loan Party to the Agent and the Secured Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other Loan Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

SECTION 10.12 Release of Loan Guarantors. Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.02(b) to the contrary (i) a Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and its Loan Guaranty shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted hereunder as a result of which such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Domestic Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower and (ii) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, if (A) a Loan Guarantor is or becomes an Immaterial Subsidiary, and such release would not result in any Immaterial Subsidiary being required pursuant to Section 5.11(e) to become a Loan Party hereunder (except to the extent that on and as of the date of such release, one or more other Immaterial Subsidiaries become Loan Guarantors hereunder and the provisions of Section 5.11(e) are satisfied upon giving effect to all such additions and releases), (B) a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 6.07, (C) a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as a Receivables

169

Subsidiary in connection with a Receivables Facility otherwise permitted hereunder and such Restricted Subsidiary owns no assets or engages in no activities other than such assets or activities which are the subject of such Receivables Facility or (D) a Loan Guarantor ceases to be a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted by this Agreement, entered into for a bona fide business purpose and, for the avoidance of doubt, not for the primary purpose of causing such release; then in the case of each of clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D), such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations hereunder and its Loan Guaranty shall be automatically released upon notification thereof from the U.S. Borrower to the Agent. In connection with any such release, the Agent shall execute and deliver to any Subsidiary Guarantor, at such Subsidiary Guarantor’s expense, all documents that such Subsidiary Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to the preceding sentence of this Section 10.12 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Agent.
