existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

2. The Loans.

2.1 Advances. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender severally agrees to make Loans (other than Swing Loans and Competitive Bid Loans) prior to the Maturity Date to the Borrower not to exceed an amount at any one time outstanding equal to such Lender’s Lender Commitment, provided that at no time shall any Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceed its Lender Commitment. At no time shall the sum of the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures plus any outstanding Swing Loans and Competitive Bid Loans exceed the Total Commitment. Each such request for a Loan by Borrower shall be deemed a request for a Loan from each Lender equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the aggregate amount so requested, and such aggregate amount shall be in an amount at least equal to $1,000,000.00 and equal to a multiple of $250,000.00, or the difference between the Total Commitment and the sum of the outstanding Swing Loans plus the outstanding Competitive Bid Loans plus the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures, whichever is less. Each repayment of the Loans (other than a repayment of a Competitive Bid Loan) shall be deemed a repayment of each Lender’s Loan equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the amount so repaid. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint, and the preceding two sentences will give rise to certain inappropriate results if special provisions are not made to accommodate the failure of a Lender to fund a Loan as and when required by this Agreement; therefore, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (A) no Lender shall be required to make Loans at any one time outstanding in excess of such Lender’s Percentage of the Total Commitment and (B) if a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender and Borrower subsequently makes a repayment on the Loans, such repayment shall be divided in accordance with Section 2.11. The Loans (other than the Swing Loans and the Competitive Bid Loans) shall be evidenced by the Revolving Notes substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto.

(b) The Borrower shall give the Agent notice of each borrowing to be made hereunder as provided in Section 3.1 hereof, and the Agent shall deliver same to each Lender promptly thereafter. Not later than 12:00 noon, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time, on the date specified for each such borrowing hereunder of a Loan other than a Swing Loan or a Competitive Bid Loan, each Lender shall make available the amount of the Loan, if any, to be made by it on such date to the Agent at the Agent’s principal office in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in immediately available funds, for the account of the Borrower. Such amounts received by the Agent will be held in Agent’s general ledger account. The amounts so received by the Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to the Borrower by wiring or otherwise transferring, in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 P.M., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time, such amount to an account designated by the Borrower and maintained with PNC in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania or any other account or accounts which the Borrower may from time to time designate to the Agent by a written notice as the account or accounts to which borrowings hereunder are to be wired or otherwise transferred. PNC shall make available the

-28-

amount of each Swing Loan by depositing the same in immediately available funds in the foregoing account by 3:00 p.m., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time, on the date of the borrowing.

(c) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, if necessary to meet the Borrower’s funding deadlines, PNC agrees to make Swing Loans to the Borrower at any time on or prior to the Maturity Date, not to exceed an amount at any one time outstanding equal to the lesser of (i) $40,000,000.00, or (ii) the difference between the Total Commitment and the sum of the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures, and the aggregate Competitive Bid Loans. Except as otherwise provided herein, Swing Loans shall constitute Loans for all purposes hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate amount of all Loans (including, without limitation, all Swing Loans and all Competitive Bid Loans) shall not at any time exceed the difference between the Total Commitment and the LC Exposure. Each request for a Swing Loan shall be in an amount at least equal to $1,000,000.00 and equal to a multiple of $100,000.00. If necessary to meet the Borrower’s funding deadlines, the Agent may treat any Request for Loan as a request for a Swing Loan from PNC and PNC may fund it as a Swing Loan. Within two (2) Business Days after each Swing Loan is funded, PNC shall request that each Lender, and each Lender shall, on the third (3rd) Business Day after such request is made, purchase a portion of any one or more Swing Loans in an amount equal to that Lender’s Percentage of such Swing Loans by funding under such Lender’s Revolving Note, such purchase to be made in accordance with the terms of Section 2.1(b) just as if the Lender were funding directly to the Borrower under its Revolving Note (such that all Lenders other than PNC shall fund only under their respective Revolving Note and not under the Swing Loan Note). Unless the Agent knew when PNC funded a Swing Loan that the Borrower had not satisfied the conditions in this Agreement to obtain a Loan, each Lender’s obligation to purchase an interest in the Swing Loans shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or any other Person may have against PNC or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default or the termination of any Lender Commitment; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Credit Documents by the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, the Agent or any other Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Any portion of a Swing Loan not so purchased and converted may be treated by PNC as a Loan which was not funded by the non-purchasing Lenders as contemplated in Section 2.1(a), and as a funding by PNC under the Total Commitment in excess of PNC’s Percentage. Each Swing Loan, once so sold, shall cease to be a Swing Loan for the purposes of this Agreement, but shall be a Loan made under the Total Commitment and each Lender’s Lender Commitment. If for any reason any Lender fails or is otherwise unable to make payment to the Agent of any amount due under this Section 2.1(c), such Lender shall be deemed, at the option of the Agent, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from PNC, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the applicable Swing Loan in the amount of such payment not made by such Lender and such interest and participation may be recovered from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day during the period commencing

-29-

on the date of demand and ending on the date such amount is received. The Swing Loans shall be evidenced by the Swing Loan Note substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 attached hereto.

2.2 Payments. (a) Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by the Borrower hereunder, under the Notes and under the other Credit Documents shall be made in immediately available funds without setoff or counterclaim to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at its principal office in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (or in the case of a successor Agent, at the principal office of such successor Agent in the United States), not later than 12:00 noon Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day) which date, if not earlier, shall be the Maturity Date.

(b) The Borrower may, at the time of making each payment hereunder, under any Note or under any other Credit Document, specify to the Agent the Loans or other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder or thereunder to which such payment is to be applied, which must be pro rata on the basis of each Lender’s Percentage (and in the event that it fails so to specify, such payment shall be applied to the Loans (first to Swing Loans) or, if no Loans are outstanding, to other amounts then due and payable, provided that if no Loans or other amounts are then due and payable, the Agent may apply such payment to the Obligations in such order as it may elect in its sole discretion, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation Section 2.3 hereof). If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all payments received under the Credit Documents by the Agent shall be applied in accordance with Section 7.3. Each payment received by the Agent hereunder, under any Note or under any other Credit Document for the account of a Lender shall be paid promptly to such Lender, in immediately available funds. If the Agent receives a payment for the account of a Lender prior to 12:00 noon Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time, such payment must be delivered to the Lender on that same day and if it is not so delivered due to the fault of the Agent, the Agent shall pay to the Lender entitled to the payment interest at the Federal Funds Effective Rate on the amount of the payment from the date the Agent receives the payment to the date the Lender received the payment. The Agent may apply payments received from the Borrower to pay any unpaid principal and interest on the Swing Loans before making payment to each Lender of the amounts due under the Notes other than the Swing Loan Note. Loans, including, without limitation, any Competitive Bid Loans, may be prepaid only if the accompanying Funding Loss, if any, is also paid.

(c) If the due date of any payment hereunder or under any Note falls on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date for such payments shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall be payable for any principal so extended for the period of such extension; provided, however, that with respect to LIBOR Borrowings if such extension would cause the Business Day of payment to fall in another calendar month, the payment shall be due on the Business Day next preceding the due date of the payment.

-30-

(d) The Borrower shall give the Agent written notice by at least 11 A.M., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time on the prior Business Day of the Borrower’s intent to make any payment of principal or interest under the Credit Documents not scheduled to be paid under the Credit Documents. Any such notification of payment shall be irrevocable after it is made by the Borrower. Upon receipt by the Agent of such notification of payment, it shall deliver same to the other Lenders.

2.3 Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein (including as otherwise provided with respect to Defaulting Lenders): (a) each borrowing from the Lenders under Section 2.1(a) hereof shall be made ratably from the Lenders on the basis of their respective Percentages; (b) each payment of the Facility Fee, the Letter of Credit Fee and the Extension Fee, shall be made for the account of the Lenders, and shall be applied, pro rata, according to the Lenders’ respective Lender Commitments; and (c) each payment by the Borrower of principal or interest on the Loans other than the Swing Loans and the Competitive Bid Loans, of any other sums advanced by the Lenders pursuant to the Credit Documents, and of any other amount owed to the Lenders, other than the Fronting Fee and other standard administrative fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.6(b), other fees payable pursuant to Section 2.6(d) and (e), payments of Swing Loans and Competitive Bid Loans, or any other sums designated by this Agreement as being owed to a particular Lender, shall be made to the Agent for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans (other than Swing Loans and Competitive Bid Loans) held by the Lenders. Payments with respect to Swing Loans shall be for PNC’s own account. Payments with respect to a Competitive Bid Loan shall be for the account of the applicable Lender.

2.4 NonReceipt of Funds by the Agent. Unless the Agent shall have been notified by a Lender or the Borrower (the “Payor”) prior to the date on which such Lender is to make payment to the Agent of the proceeds of a Loan (or purchase of a portion of a Swing Loan) to be made by it hereunder or the Borrower is to make a payment to the Agent for the account of one or more of the Lenders, as the case may be (such payment being herein called the “Required Payment”), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not intend to make the Required Payment to the Agent, the Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient on such date and, if the Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to the Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand, pay to the Agent the amount made available by the Agent together with interest thereon in respect of the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Agent until the date the Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (a) the Past Due Rate for such period if the recipient returning a Required Payment is the Borrower, or (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such period if the recipient returning a Required Payment is the Agent or a Lender.

2.5 Sharing of Payments, Etc.

(a) The Borrower agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of setoff, bankers’ lien or counterclaim a Lender may otherwise have, each Lender shall be entitled, at its option, to offset balances held by it for the account of the Borrower at any of its offices, against any principal of or interest on any of such Lender’s Loans to the Borrower hereunder, or other Obligations of the Borrower hereunder, which is not paid (regardless of whether such balances are then due to the Borrower), in which case it shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent thereof, provided that such Lender’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof.

(b) If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan made by it under this Agreement (other than Swing Loans made by PNC and Competitive Bid Loans) or other Obligation then due to such Lender hereunder, through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar right, or otherwise, it shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders portions of the Loans made or other Obligations held (other than Swing Loans made by PNC and Competitive Bid Loans) by the other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any expenses which may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal and interest on the Obligations then due to each of them. To such end all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower.

2.6 Fees. (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) equal to the Lender Commitment of such Lender multiplied by the rate per annum determined in accordance with Schedule I attached hereto based on the Qualifying Rating of EastGroup Properties, Inc. then in effect. Such Facility Fee shall be payable in arrears on or before the tenth (10th) day of each April, July, October and January, and, with respect to the Facility Fee due to a Lender whose Lender Commitment has terminated only, on the termination of any Lender Commitment. The Facility Fee shall not be refundable. Any portion of the Facility Fee which is not paid by the Borrower when due shall bear interest at the Past Due Rate from the date due until the date paid by the Borrower. The Facility Fee shall be calculated on the actual number of days elapsed in a year consisting of 365 or 366 days, as applicable. During any period for which EastGroup Properties, Inc. has received only one Qualifying Rating, the Facility Fee shall be determined based on the Level corresponding to such Qualifying Rating. During any period that EastGroup Properties, Inc. has received two Qualifying Ratings that are not equivalent, the Facility Fee shall be determined based upon the Level corresponding to the higher of the two Qualifying Ratings. During any period that EastGroup Properties, Inc. has not received a Qualifying Rating, the Facility Fee shall be determined based on Level V on Schedule I. Any change in the Facility Fee that would cause it to move to a different Level shall be effective on the date of the change in the Qualifying Rating.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the Applicable Margin provided for LIBOR Borrowings on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the date of this Agreement to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Lender Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee (the “Fronting Fee”), in the amount of 0.125% of the face amount of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard administrative fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Letter of Credit Fees and Fronting Fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date of this Agreement; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Total Commitment terminates and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Total Commitment terminates shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten (10) days after demand. All Letter of Credit Fees and Fronting Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) If the Maturity Date is extended pursuant to Section 2.9 of this Agreement, an extension fee (“Extension Fee”) shall be due and payable to the Agent as provided in Section 2.9(a) for the ratable benefit of each Lender, equal to 0.0625% of each Lender’s Lender Commitment at the time of the delivery of the Extension Request with respect to each such extension.

(d) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders certain fees pursuant to the Fee Letter. The Agent shall pay to the Lenders shares of such fees in accordance with their separate agreements.

(e) The Borrower shall also pay to the Agent, for the Agent’s own account, an Agent’s fee pursuant to the Fee Letter.

2.7 Commitment Increase. So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, the Borrower may from time to time request that the Total Commitment be increased to an amount not to exceed $750,000,000 (the “Maximum Commitment”); provided, that the Borrower shall not make more than five (5) such requests during the term of this Agreement. Each request shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000. If the Borrower requests that the Total Commitment be increased, the Agent and the Borrower will cooperate with each other to obtain increased or additional commitments up to the amount of such request (not to exceed the Maximum Commitment), and to do so may obtain additional lenders subject to their mutual approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and without the necessity of approval from any of the Lenders, as long as such additional lenders constitute Eligible Institutions. No Lender

-33-

shall have any obligation to increase its Lender Commitment pursuant to a request by the Borrower to increase the Total Commitment. The Borrower and each other Obligor shall execute an amendment to this Agreement (containing a reaffirmation of all representations and warranties in this Agreement and the Credit Documents and certifying the absence of a Default or Event of Default), additional Notes and other documents as the Agent may reasonably require to evidence each increase of the Total Commitment and, if necessary, the admission of additional Eligible Institutions as Lenders.

2.8 Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of standby letters of credit (each, a “Letter of Credit”), for its own account (or for the account of any Subsidiary, and in such event the Borrower shall be obligated under this Agreement and under such Letter of Credit as if the Borrower were the named account party and such Letter of Credit shall create LC Exposure), in a form reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time prior to the Maturity Date (subject to Section 2.8(c)). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the applicable Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Each Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) at the time of issuance (“UCP”) or the rules of International Standby Practices (ICC Publication 590) (“ISP98”), as determined by the applicable Issuing Bank, and to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the Legal Requirements of the State of New York.

(b) To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the 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, but in no event less than five (5) Business Days, in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $20,000,000, (ii) the LC Exposure of any Issuing Bank shall not exceed the lesser of (x) $10,000,000 (without the consent of such Issuing Bank) or (y) such

-34-

Issuing Bank’s Lender Commitment, (iii) the total Revolving Credit Exposures plus the sum of the outstanding Swing Loans and the outstanding Competitive Bid Loans shall not exceed the Total Commitment, and (iv) no more than fifteen (15) Letters of Credit shall be issued and outstanding at any one time. Upon request, copies of all Letters of Credit, and amendments, extensions, increases, decreases and cancellations related thereto, must be delivered to the Agent and the other Lenders by the applicable Issuing Bank.

(c) Each Letter of Credit shall expire no later than the earlier of (i) the close of business on the date which is twelve (12) months following the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, provided that a Letter of Credit may contain an “evergreen” provision providing for one or more automatic extensions of the expiration date thereof of up to one (1) year each in the absence of notice of non-renewal from the applicable Issuing Bank, or (ii) the close of business on the date that is fourteen (14) days prior to the Maturity Date, except that, in any such case, a Letter of Credit may extend beyond such dates to the extent that Borrower shall have deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, at the time of issuance of such Letter of Credit, Cash Collateral in an amount equal to or in excess of the amount of such Letter of Credit, which amount may not be withdrawn or reduced as long as such Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding or a Default or an Event of Default shall be continuing hereunder.

(d) By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, each Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from each Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit and to fund its Lender’s Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the applicable Issuing Bank is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit, the occurrence and continuance of a Default, the reduction or termination of the Total Commitment or the commencement of a proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law with respect to Borrower, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time, on the Business Day that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time, on such date, or, if

-35-

such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.1 that such payment be financed with a Base Rate Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Base Rate Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Agent its Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.2 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.2 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Base Rate Borrowings as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.8 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or 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, or (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 2.8, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Banks, nor any of their Affiliates, 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 or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the applicable Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in

-36-

respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the applicable 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. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank, the applicable 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 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) The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full 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 Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Borrowings; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then the LC Disbursement shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement was due to, but excluding, the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement at the Past Due Rate. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.8 to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid Fronting Fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.6. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) 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 (ii) 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

-37-

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 an 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.

(j) At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within three (3) Business Days following the written request of the Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Agent) the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize such Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.11(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than an amount equal to 100% of the Fronting Exposure of the applicable Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the applicable Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.8(j) following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.11, the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable Issuing Bank may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to Section 7.2(b) below.

2.9 Extension. (a) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions listed in Section 2.9(b), the Borrower shall have the option to extend the Maturity Date then in effect hereunder (the “Applicable Maturity Date”) twice, each time, for an additional six-month period by executing and delivering to the Agent at least sixty (60) days but no more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Applicable Maturity Date, a written request in the form of Exhibit E (an “Extension Request”), with the joinder in the Extension Request of each Guarantor. The Agent shall forward to each Lender a copy of the Extension Request delivered to the Agent promptly after receipt thereof. Upon satisfaction of the conditions listed in Section 2.9(b), the Applicable Maturity Date shall be extended to the date six months following the Applicable Maturity Date.

(b) The extension of the Applicable Maturity Date under Section 2.9(a), of this Agreement shall be conditioned upon, among other things, the following terms and conditions (which conditions shall be in addition to those required by Section 2.6, Section 3, and Section 2.9(a), as applicable, of this Agreement):

(i) Execution by the Borrower of a renewal and extension agreement for each Note in Proper Form;

(ii) No Default or Event of Default must be in existence on the date of the Extension Request or on the Applicable Maturity Date;

-38-

(iii) Payment of the Extension Fee as set forth in Section 2.6(c);

(iv) Delivery of an updated Officer’s Certificate with the Extension Request based upon the financial data for the most recent calendar quarter for which an Officer’s Certificate has been delivered by Borrower to Agent, but reflecting any changes in Indebtedness since the date of such Officer’s Certificate; and

(v) Such other documents, instruments and other items as Agent or any Lender shall reasonably require to document the extension.

A Competitive Bid Request must be substantially in the form of Exhibit G and shall specify (A) the date of the requested Competitive Bid Loan (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the amount of the requested Competitive Bid Loan (which shall be not less than $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof), (C) the applicable Interest Period or Interest Periods requested (to be not less than seven (7) days nor more than ninety (90) days), and (D) a certification that the Borrower has complied in all respects with the provisions of Section 3.1 applicable thereto. The Borrower may not request a Competitive Bid more frequently than three (3) times per calendar quarter, and each Competitive Bid Request shall be limited to one Interest Period.

(c) Competitive Bid Procedure. The Agent shall notify the Lenders of its receipt of a Competitive Bid Request by 12:00 noon, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, time, on the date of receipt of the applicable Competitive Bid Request and the contents thereof and invite the Lenders to submit Competitive Bids in response thereto pursuant to the form of the Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes attached hereto in the form of Exhibit H.

Subject to Sections 3.1 and 3.5, a Competitive Bid submitted by a Lender in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be irrevocable.

Any Lender may correct a Competitive Bid containing a manifest error by submitting a corrected Competitive Bid (identified as such) not later than the applicable time requested for submission of Competitive Bids. Any such submission of a corrected Competitive Bid shall constitute a revocation of the Competitive Bid that contained the manifest error. The Agent may, but shall not be required to, notify any Lender of any manifest error it detects in such Lender’s Competitive Bid.

-40-

the Competitive Bid Request less the amount of all other Competitive Bids accepted with respect to such Competitive Bid Request, which acceptance in the case of multiple bids at such Competitive Bid Rate, shall be made pro rata in accordance with the amount of each such bid at such Competitive Bid Rate and (E) no bid shall be accepted for a Competitive Bid Loan unless such Competitive Bid Loan is in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof, except that where a portion of a Competitive Bid is accepted in accordance with the provisions of clause (D) of this clause (e), then in a minimum principal amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 (but not in any event less than the minimum amount specified in the Competitive Bid), and in calculating the pro rata allocation of acceptances of portions of multiple bids at a particular Competitive Bid Rate pursuant to clause (D) of this clause (e), the amounts shall be rounded to integral multiples of $100,000 in a manner which shall be in the discretion of the Agent. A notice of acceptance of a Competitive Bid given by the Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be irrevocable. The Agent shall promptly notify each bidding Lender whether or not its Competitive Bid has been accepted (and if so, in what amount and at what rate), and each successful bidder will thereupon become bound, subject to the other applicable conditions hereof, to make the Competitive Bid Loan in respect of which its bid has been accepted.

Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 7 or otherwise) shall be applied to the Obligations of the Parties at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or PNC as the provider of Swing Loans hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize each Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.8(j); fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize each Issuing Bank’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.8(j); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or PNC as the provider of Swing Loans hereunder as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any Issuing Bank or PNC against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Letter of Credit borrowing in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions specified in Section 3.1 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Letter of Credit borrowings owed to, all non-defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Letter of Credit borrowings owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Total Commitments without giving effect to Section

-42-

2.11(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees.

(1) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive a Facility Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to the sum of (x) the outstanding principal amount of the Loans funded by it, and (y) its pro rata share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.8(j).

(2) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its pro rata share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.8(j).

(3) With respect to any Facility Fee or Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (1) or (2) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each non-defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans that has been reallocated to such non-defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Bank and PNC, as the provider of Swing Loans hereunder, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s or PNC’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans shall be reallocated among the non-defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Lender Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the Revolving Credit Exposure of any non-defaulting lender to exceed such non-defaulting Lender’s Lender Commitment. Subject to Section 9.15, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-defaulting Lender as a

-43-

result of such non-defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swing Loans in an amount equal to PNC’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize each Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures specified in Section 2.8(j).

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Agent, PNC, as the provider of Swing Loans hereunder, and each Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions specified therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Total Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.11(a)(iv), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) New Swing Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) PNC, as the provider of Swing Loans hereunder, shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Loan (determined after giving due consideration to Section 2.11(a)(iv)) and (ii) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto (determined after giving due consideration to Section 2.11(a)(iv)).

3. Conditions.

The obligation of any Lender to make any Loan, or to issue, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, is subject to the accuracy of all representations and warranties of the Borrower on the date of such Loan, or the issuance, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit, to the performance by the Borrower of its obligations under the Credit Documents and to the satisfaction of the following further conditions: (a) the Agent shall have received the following, all of which shall be duly executed and in Proper Form: (1) a Request for Loan (i) by 11:00 a.m., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time, one (1) Business Day before the date (which shall also be a Business Day) of the proposed Loan which is to be a Base Rate Borrowing (other than

-44-

Swing Loans and Base Rate Borrowings to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.8(e) hereof), (ii) by 12:00 noon, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, time, on the same Business Day of any proposed Swing Loan or Base Rate Borrowings to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.8(e) hereof, or (iii) by the Rate Designation Date of the proposed Loan which is to be a LIBOR Borrowing; and (2) such other documents as the Agent may reasonably require to satisfy itself or the request of any Lender; (b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, nor would occur after the making of any Loan or the issuance or extension of any Letter of Credit; (c) the making of the Loan or the issuance, renewal, or extension of such Letter of Credit, shall not be prohibited by any Legal Requirement; (d) the Borrower shall have paid all legal fees and expenses of the type described in Section 5.10 hereof through the date of such Loan; and (e) in the case of a Loan other than a Swing Loan, all Swing Loans then outstanding shall have been paid or shall be paid with the proceeds of such Loan.

3.2 First Loan. In addition to the matters described in Section 3.1 hereof, the obligation of the Lenders to make the first Loan under this Agreement is subject to the receipt by the Lenders of each of the following, in Proper Form: (a) this Agreement, executed by the Borrower and the Lenders; (b) the Notes, executed by the Borrower; (c) the Fifth Amended and Restated Guaranty, dated as of the date hereof, executed by the Guarantors; (d) a certificate executed by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of each Obligor dated as of the date hereof as to the resolutions of such Person authorizing the execution of the Credit Documents and as to the incumbency of the officers of such Person; (e) a certificate from the Secretary of State or other appropriate public official of the state of organization of each Obligor as to the continued existence and good standing of such Obligor; (f) a certificate from the appropriate public official of every state where the location of the Obligor’s Property requires it to be qualified to do business as to the due qualification and good standing of such Obligor; (g) a legal opinion from independent counsel for the Obligors as to the matters set forth on Exhibit D acceptable to the Lenders; (h) an Officer’s Certificate in the form of Exhibit A for the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2021; (i) such documentation and other information requested by Lenders in connection with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA Patriot Act, (j) an amendment to the 2020 Term Loan Agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, which shall make corresponding amendments and other modifications to the 2020 Term Loan Agreement that are substantially and substantively similar to the changes being made to this Agreement on the Effective Date and (k) the termination of the Existing Credit Agreement; and to the further condition that, at the time of the initial Loan, all legal matters incident to the transactions herein contemplated shall be satisfactory to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Bird LLP, counsel for the Agent.

3.3 Options Available. The outstanding principal balance of the Notes shall bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate (the “Base Rate Option”); provided, that (a) all past due amounts, both principal and accrued interest, shall bear interest at the Past Due Rate, (b) the outstanding balance of the Swing Loan Note shall bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate, (c) subject to the provisions hereof, Borrower shall have the option of having all or any portion of

-45-

the principal balance of the Revolving Notes, other than the Swing Loan Note, from time to time outstanding bear interest at Adjusted LIBOR (the “LIBOR Option”), and (d) each Competitive Bid Loan shall bear interest at the Competitive Bid Rate applicable to such Competitive Bid Loan. The records of the Lenders with respect to Interest Options, Interest Periods and the amounts of Loans to which they are applicable shall be prima facie evidence thereof. Interest on the Loans shall be calculated at the Adjusted Base Rate except where it is expressly provided pursuant to this Agreement that Adjusted LIBOR is to apply.

3.4 Designation and Conversion. Borrower shall have the right to designate, continue or convert its Interest Options in accordance with the provisions hereof. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and subject to the provisions of Section 3.5, Borrower may elect to have Adjusted LIBOR apply or continue to apply to all or any portion of the principal balance of the Revolving Notes, other than the Swing Loan Note. Each change in Interest Options shall be a conversion of the rate of interest applicable to the specified portion of the Loans, but such conversion shall not change the respective outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Notes. The Interest Options shall be designated or converted in the manner provided below:

(a) Borrower shall give Agent a Request for Loan. Each such written notice shall specify the amount of Loan which is the subject of the designation, if any; the amount of borrowings into which such borrowings are to be converted or for which an Interest Option is designated; the proposed date for the designation, continuation or conversion and the Interest Period, if any, selected by Borrower. The Request for Loan shall be irrevocable and shall be given to Agent no later than the applicable Rate Designation Date. The Agent shall promptly deliver the Request for Loan to the Lenders.

(b) No more than ten (10) LIBOR Borrowings and Competitive Bid Loans with ten (10) Interest Periods shall be in effect at any time.

(d) Except as provided in Section 3.5 hereof, no LIBOR Borrowing shall be converted on any day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period.

(e) Unless a Request for Loan to the contrary is received as provided in this Agreement, each LIBOR Borrowing will convert to a Base Rate Borrowing after the expiration of the Interest Period.

(f) To the extent that any Default shall have occurred and shall continue to exist, Borrower shall not have the right to elect an Interest Period longer than one (1) month.

-46-

3.5 Special Provisions Applicable to LIBOR Borrowings, Competitive Bid Loans and Letters of Credit.

(a) Options Unlawful. If the adoption of any applicable Legal Requirement or any change in any applicable Legal Requirement or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority or compliance by the Lenders with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall at any time make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to permit the establishment of or to maintain any LIBOR Borrowing or Competitive Bid Loan, or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit, the commitment of the Lenders to establish or maintain such LIBOR Borrowing or Competitive Bid Loan, or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit, shall forthwith be suspended until such condition shall cease to exist and Borrower shall forthwith, upon demand by Agent to Borrower, (1) convert the LIBOR Borrowing or Competitive Bid Loan with respect to which such demand was made to a Base Rate Borrowing; (2) pay all accrued and unpaid interest to date on the amount so converted; and (3) pay any amounts required to compensate the Lenders for any additional cost or expense which the Lenders may incur as a result of such adoption of or change in such Legal Requirement or in the interpretation or administration thereof and any Funding Loss which the Lenders may incur as a result of such conversion. If, when Agent so notifies Borrower, Borrower has given a Request for Loan specifying a LIBOR Borrowing or Competitive Bid Loan but the selected Interest Period has not yet begun, such Request for Loan shall be deemed to be of no force and effect, as if never made, and the balance of the Loans specified in such Request for Loan shall bear interest at the Base Rate until a different available Interest Option shall be designated in accordance herewith.

(b) Increased Cost of Borrowings. If any Change in Law shall at any time as a result of any portion of the principal balance of the Notes being maintained on the basis of LIBOR; or as a result of any Lender issuing or participating in any Letter of Credit:

(1) subject any Lender or any Issuing Bank (or make it apparent that any Lender or any Issuing Bank is subject) to any Taxes, or any deduction or withholding for any Taxes, on or from any payment due under any LIBOR Borrowing or Competitive Bid Loan or other amount due hereunder, other than income and franchise taxes of the United States and its political subdivisions; or

(2) change the basis of taxation of payments due from Borrower to any Lender under any LIBOR Borrowing or Competitive Bid Loan or to any Issuing Bank or any Lender of any Letter of Credit (otherwise than by a change in the rate of taxation of the overall net income of a Lender or an Issuing Bank); or

(3) impose, modify, increase or deem applicable any reserve requirement (excluding that portion of any reserve requirement included in the calculation of the applicable LIBOR), special deposit requirement or similar requirement (including, but not limited to, state law requirements and Regulation D) imposed, modified,

-47-

increased or deemed applicable by any Governmental Authority against assets held by any Lender or any Issuing Bank, or against deposits or accounts in or for the account of any Lender or any Issuing Bank, or against loans made by any Lender, or against any other funds, obligations or other property owned or held by any Lender or any Issuing Bank; or

(4) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank any other condition regarding any LIBOR Borrowing or Competitive Bid Loan, or any Letter of Credit;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or of making, continuing or maintaining such LIBOR Borrowing or Competitive Bid Loan, or issuing, participating in or monitoring such Letter of Credit, or reduce the amount of any sum received by any Lender or any Issuing Bank, then, upon demand by Agent, Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, from time to time as specified by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, additional amounts which shall compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank for such increased cost or reduced amount. Agent will promptly notify Borrower in writing of any event which will entitle any Lender or any Issuing Bank to additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph. A Lender’s or an Issuing Bank’s determination of the amount of any such increased cost, increased reserve requirement or reduced amount shall be prima facie evidence thereof. Borrower shall have the right, if it receives from Agent any notice referred to in this paragraph, upon three Business Days’ notice to Agent, either (i) to repay in full (but not in part) any borrowing with respect to which such notice was given, together with any accrued interest thereon, or (ii) to convert the LIBOR Borrowing or Competitive Bid Loan which is the subject of the notice to a Base Rate Borrowing; provided, that any such repayment or conversion shall be accompanied by payment of (x) the amount required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank for the increased cost or reduced amount referred to in the preceding paragraph; (y) all accrued and unpaid interest to date on the amount so repaid or converted, and (z) any Funding Loss which any Lender may incur as a result of such repayment or conversion.

(c) Inadequacy of Pricing, and Rate Determination. If for any reason with respect to any Interest Period Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be prima facie evidence thereof) that:

(1) Agent is unable through its customary general practices to determine any applicable LIBOR, or

(2) by reason of circumstances affecting the applicable market generally, Agent is not being offered deposits in United States dollars in such market, for the applicable Interest Period and in an amount equal to the amount of any applicable LIBOR Borrowing or Competitive Bid Loan requested by Borrower, or

-48-

(3) any applicable LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of making and maintaining such LIBOR Borrowing or Competitive Bid Loan hereunder for any proposed Interest Period,

then Agent shall give Borrower and each Lender notice thereof and thereupon, (A) any Request for Loan previously given by Borrower designating the applicable LIBOR Borrowing or Competitive Bid Loan which has not commenced as of the date of such notice from Agent shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be of no force and effect, as if never given, and (B) until Agent shall notify Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice from Agent no longer exist, each Request for Loan requesting the applicable LIBOR shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Borrowing, and any applicable LIBOR Borrowing or Competitive Bid Loan then outstanding shall be converted, without any notice to or from Borrower, upon the termination of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to it, to a Base Rate Borrowing. For purposes of this Section 3.5(c), LIBOR shall be deemed to include any replacement rate implemented under Section 3.5(d).

(d) Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(i) Announcements Related to LIBOR. On March 5, 2021, the ICE Benchmark Administration, the administrator of LIBOR (the “IBA”) and the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority, the regulatory supervisor for the IBA, announced in a public statement the future cessation or loss of representativeness of overnight/Spot Next, 1-week, 1-month, 2-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month LIBOR tenor settings (collectively, the “Cessation Announcements”). The parties hereto acknowledge that, as a result of the Cessation Announcements, a Benchmark Transition Event occurred on March 5, 2021 with respect to LIBOR under clauses (1) and (2) of the definition of Benchmark Transition Event below; provided however, no related Benchmark Replacement Date occurred as of such date.

(ii) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Credit 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 Credit Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Credit Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at

-49-

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 Credit Document so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders.

(iii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the 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 Credit 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 Credit Document.

(iv) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (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 paragraph (e) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.5(d) 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 Credit Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.5(d).

(v) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or LIBOR) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for

-50-

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 Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(vi) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Loan bearing interest based on LIBOR , conversion to or continuation of Loans bearing interest based on LIBOR to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Loan of or conversion to Loans bearing interest under the Base Rate Option. 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 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.

(vii) Term SOFR Transition Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document and subject to the proviso below in this clause (vii), if a Term SOFR 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 (i) the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Credit Document in respect of such Benchmark setting (the “Secondary Term SOFR Conversion Date”) and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document; and (ii) Loans outstanding on the Secondary Term SOFR Conversion Date bearing interest based on the then-current Benchmark shall be deemed to have been converted to Loans bearing interest at the Benchmark Replacement with a tenor approximately the same length as the interest payment period of the then-current Benchmark; provided that, this clause (vii) shall not be effective unless the Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower a Term SOFR Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after a Term SOFR Transition Event and may do so in its sole discretion.

(viii) Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Section 3.5(d):

Available Tenor means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, (x) if the then current Benchmark is a

-51-

term rate or is based on a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark that is or may be used for determining the length of an Interest Period pursuant to this Agreement as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to paragraph (v) of this Section 3.5(d), or (y) if the then current Benchmark is not a term rate nor based on a term rate, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark pursuant to this Agreement as of such date.

Benchmark means, initially, LIBOR; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to LIBOR or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to paragraph (ii) of this Section 3.5(d).

Benchmark Replacement means, for any Available Tenor, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1) the sum of: (a) Term SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

(2) the sum of: (a) Daily Simple SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

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

provided that, in the case of clause (1), such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent in its reasonable discretion; provided, further, that, in the case of an Other Benchmark Rate Election, the “Benchmark Replacement” shall mean the alternative set forth in clause (3) above and when such clause is used to determine the Benchmark Replacement in connection with

-52-

the occurrence of an Other Benchmark Rate Election, the alternate benchmark rate selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be the term benchmark rate that is used in lieu of a USD LIBOR-based rate in relevant other U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities; provided, further, that, with respect to a Term SOFR Transition Event, on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date, the “Benchmark Replacement” shall revert to and shall be determined as set forth in clause (1) of this definition. If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1), (2) or (3) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

Benchmark Replacement Adjustment means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any applicable Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement:

(1) for purposes of clauses (1) and (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the applicable amount(s) set forth below:


			Available Tenor			Benchmark Replacement Adjustment*
			One-Week			0.03839% (3.839 basis points)
			One-Month			0.11448% (11.448 basis points)
			Two-Months			0.18456% (18.456 basis points)
			Three-Months			0.26161% (26.161 basis points)
			Six-Months			0.42826% (42.826 basis points)
			* These values represent the ARRC/ISDA recommended spread adjustment values available here: ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇/▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇_▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇_▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇

(2) for purposes of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread

-53-

adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Agent and the Borrower for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities;

provided that, if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate, more than one tenor of such Benchmark is available as of the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement will not be a term rate, the Available Tenor of such Benchmark for purposes of this definition of “Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” shall be deemed to be the Available Tenor that has approximately the same length (disregarding business day adjustments) as the payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement.

Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Base Rate,” the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents).

Benchmark Replacement Date means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of

3.6 Funding Offices, Adjustments Automatic. Any Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its obligation as to any LIBOR Borrowing or Competitive Bid Loan by causing a branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan and may transfer and carry such Loan at, to, or for the account of, any branch office or Affiliate of such Lender; provided, that in such event for the purposes of this Agreement such Loan shall be deemed to have been made by such Lender and the obligation of Borrower to repay such Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender and shall be deemed held by it for the account of such branch or Affiliate. Without notice to Borrower or any other person or entity, each rate required to be calculated or determined under this Agreement shall automatically fluctuate upward and downward in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

3.7 Funding Sources, Payment Obligations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of the Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as if each Lender had actually funded and maintained each LIBOR Borrowing or Competitive Bid Loan during each Interest Period through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to such Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the LIBOR for such Interest Period.

-59-

have no obligation to designate a different lending office which is located in the United States of America).

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Lender shall demand compensation at any given time for any increased costs or reduction referred to in Sections 3.5 or 5.14 of this Agreement if it is not the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation at such time in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements (to the extent such Lender has the right under such credit facilities to do so), if any (it being understood that this sentence shall not in any way limit the discretion of such Lender to waive the right to demand such compensation in any given case).

(c) If any Lender elects under Section 3.5 of this Agreement to suspend or terminate the availability of LIBOR Borrowings or Competitive Bid Loans for any material period of time, and the event giving rise to such election is not generally applicable to all of the Lenders, the Borrower may within sixty (60) days after notification of such Lender’s election, and so long as no Event of Default is then in existence, either (i) demand that such Lender, and upon such demand, such Lender shall promptly, assign its Lender Commitment to another financial institution subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.5 of this Agreement for a purchase price equal to the unpaid balance of principal, accrued interest, the unpaid balance of the Facility Fee and Letter of Credit Fees and expenses owing to such Lender pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) pay such Lender the unpaid balance of principal, accrued interest, the unpaid balance of the Facility Fee and Letter of Credit Fees and expenses owing to such Lender pursuant to this Agreement, whereupon, such Lender shall no longer be a party to this Agreement or have any rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Credit Documents, and the Total Commitment shall immediately and permanently be reduced by an amount equal to the Lender Commitment of such Lender.

3.9 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including

-60-

Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower 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.

(e) Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under the Legal Requirements of the United States of America or a state thereof (and, upon the written request of the Agent, each other Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender) agrees that it will deliver to each of the Borrower and the Agent two (2) duly completed appropriate valid Withholding Certificates (as defined under Section 1.1441-1(c)(16) of the Federal Income Tax Regulations promulgated under the Code (“Regulations”)) certifying its status (i.e., U.S. or foreign person) and, if appropriate, making a claim of reduced, or exemption from, U.S. withholding tax on the basis of an income tax treaty or an exemption provided by the Code. Such delivery may be made by electronic transmission as described in Section 1.1441-1(e)(4)(iv) of the Regulations if the Agent establishes an electronic delivery system. Further, if a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. The term “Withholding Certificate” means a Form W-9; a Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; a Form W-8ECI; a form W-8IMY and the related statements and certifications as required under Section 1.871-14(c)(2)(v) of the Regulations; or any other certificates under the Code or Regulations that certify or establish the status of a payee or beneficial owner as a U.S. or foreign person. Each Lender, assignee or participant required to deliver to the Borrower and the Agent a valid Withholding Certificate pursuant to the preceding sentence shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate as follows: (A) each Lender which is a party hereto on the date of this Agreement shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate at least five (5) Business Days prior to the first date on which any interest or fees are payable by the Borrower hereunder for the account of such Lender; and (B) each assignee or participant shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate at least five (5) Business Days before the effective

-61-

date of such assignment or participation (unless the Agent in its sole discretion shall permit such assignee or participant to deliver such Withholding Certificate less than five (5) Business Days before such date in which case it shall be due on the date specified by the Agent). Each Lender, assignee or participant which so delivers a valid Withholding Certificate further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Agent two (2) additional copies of such Withholding Certificate (or a successor form) on or before the date that such Withholding Certificate expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent Withholding Certificate so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent. Notwithstanding the submission of a Withholding Certificate claiming a reduced rate of, or exemption from, U.S. withholding tax, the Agent shall be entitled to withhold United States federal income taxes at the full 30% withholding rate if in its reasonable judgment it is required to do so under the due diligence requirements imposed upon a withholding agent under Section 1.1441-7(b) of the Regulations. Further, the Agent is indemnified under Section 1.1461-1(e) of the Regulations against any claims and demands of any Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender for the amount of any tax it deducts and withholds in accordance with regulations under Section 1441 of the Code.

to or for the benefit of a creditor at a time when other creditors similarly situated have not been paid; or

(k) Any Change of Control shall occur.

7.2 Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit.

(a) If, at any time and from time to time, any Letter of Credit shall have been issued hereunder and an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, provided that Borrower had not prior thereto made a deposit with respect to the applicable Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.8(c) hereof, then, upon the occurrence and during the continuation thereof, the Agent may, and upon the demand of the Majority Lenders shall, whether in addition to the taking by the Agent of any of the actions described in Section 7.1 or otherwise, make a demand upon the Borrower to, and forthwith upon such demand (but in any event within ten (10) days after such demand) the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, in same day funds at the Agent’s office designated in such demand, for deposit in a special Cash Collateral account (the “Letter of Credit Collateral Account”) to be maintained in the name of the Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) and under its sole dominion and control at such place as shall be designated by the Agent, an amount equal to the amount of the LC Exposure under the Letters of Credit, provided that the obligation to deposit such Cash Collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 7.1(g) or (h). The Borrower shall also deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account any amounts required under Section 2.8(c), Section 2.8(j) and/or Section 2.11(a)(v). Interest shall accrue on the Letter of Credit Collateral Account at a rate equal to the rate on overnight funds.

(b) The Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Agent, as administrative agent for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Lenders a lien on and a security interest in, the following collateral (the “Letter of Credit Collateral”):

(i) the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, all cash deposited therein and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time representing or evidencing the Letter of Credit Collateral Account;

(ii) all notes, certificates of deposit and other instruments from time to time hereafter delivered to or otherwise possessed by the Agent for or on behalf of the Borrower in substitution for or in respect of any or all of the then existing Letter of Credit Collateral;

(iii) all interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the then existing Letter of Credit Collateral; and

-79-

(iv) to the extent not covered by the above clauses, all proceeds of any or all of the foregoing Letter of Credit Collateral.

The lien and security interest granted hereby secures the payment of all obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing hereunder and under any other Credit Document.

(c) The Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders to apply, from time to time after funds are deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, funds then held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts, in such order as the Agent may elect, as shall have become due and payable by the Borrower to the Lenders in respect of the Letters of Credit, except as otherwise provided herein with respect to Defaulting Lenders.

(d) Neither the Borrower nor any Person claiming or acting on behalf of or through the Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, except as provided in Section 7.2(h) hereof.

(e) The Borrower agrees that it will not (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any interest in the Letter of Credit Collateral or (ii) create or permit to exist any lien, security interest or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Letter of Credit Collateral, except for the security interest created by this Section 7.2.

(f) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(i) The Agent may, in its sole discretion without notice to the Borrower except as required by law and at any time from time to time, charge, set off or otherwise apply all or any part of first, (x) to amounts previously drawn on any Letter of Credit that have not been reimbursed by the Borrower and (y) any LC Exposure described in the definition thereof that is then due and payable and second, to any other unpaid Obligations then due and payable against the Letter of Credit Collateral Account or any part thereof, in such order as the Agent shall elect. The rights of the Agent under this Section 7.2 are in addition to any rights and remedies which any Lender may have.

(ii) The Agent may also exercise, in its sole discretion, in respect of the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York at that time.

(g) The Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Letter of Credit Collateral if the Letter of Credit Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Agent accords its own property, it being

-80-

understood that, assuming such treatment, the Agent shall not have any responsibility or liability with respect thereto.

(h) Except in the case of a deposit made pursuant to Section 2.8(c), Section 2.8(j) and/or Section 2.11(a)(v) hereof, at such time as all Events of Default have been cured or waived in writing, all amounts remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be promptly returned to the Borrower. Absent such cure or written waiver, any surplus of the funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and remaining after payment in full of all of the Obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under any other Credit Document after the Maturity Date shall be paid to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. Any deposit made pursuant to Section 2.8(c) shall either be applied in reimbursement of any amount funded pursuant to a draw on the applicable Letter of Credit, or promptly returned to the Borrower in the event of the termination or cancellation of such Letter of Credit without a draw having been made thereon so long as no Default or Event of Default shall then exist hereunder.

7.3 Allocation of Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all payments received by the Agent under any of the Credit Documents in respect of any principal of or interest on the Obligations or any other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder or thereunder, shall (subject to Section 2.11) be applied by the Agent in the following order and priority:

(a) amounts due to the Agent and the Lenders in respect of fees and expenses due under Section 5.10;

(b) payments of the fees due to the Agent and the Lenders under Section 2.6;

(d) payments of interest on the Loans to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders;

(e) payments of principal of the Loans to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders;

(f) payments of all other amounts due under any of the Credit Documents, if any, to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders; and

(g) any amount remaining after application as provided above, shall be paid to the Borrower or whomever else may be legally entitled thereto.

7.4 Remedies Cumulative. No remedy, right or power conferred upon the Agent or the Lenders is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, right or power given hereunder or

-81-

now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, or otherwise, and all such remedies, rights and powers shall be cumulative.

8. The Agent.

8.1 Appointment, Powers and Immunities. (a) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents with such powers as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and neither the Borrower nor any other Covered Entity shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any such provisions. The Agent (i) shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and shall not by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit Document be a trustee for any Lender or be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability, execution, filing, registration, collectability, recording, perfection, existence or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or any property covered thereby or for any failure by any Party or any other Person to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder, and shall not have any duty to inquire into or pass upon any of the foregoing matters; (iii) shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder or any other Credit Document except to the extent requested by the Majority Lenders; (iv) SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MISTAKE OF LAW OR FACT OR ANY ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED TO BE TAKEN BY IT HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT OR INSTRUMENT REFERRED TO OR PROVIDED FOR HEREIN OR THEREIN OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PURSUANT TO ITS OWN NEGLIGENCE, BUT NOT INCLUDING AND EXCEPT FOR THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE AGENT; (v) shall not be bound by or obliged to recognize any agreement among or between the Borrower, the Agent, any Lender and any Issuing Bank other than this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, regardless of whether the Agent has knowledge of the existence of any such agreement or the terms and provisions thereof; (vi) shall not be charged with notice or knowledge of any fact or information not herein set out or provided to the Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; (vii) shall not be responsible for any delay, error, omission or default of any mail, telegraph, cable or wireless agency or operator; and (viii) shall not be responsible for the acts or edicts of any Governmental Authority. The Agent may employ agents and attorneysinfact and shall not

-82-

be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneysinfact selected by it with reasonable care.

(b) Without the prior written consent of Agent and all of the Lenders which are not Defaulting Lenders, Agent shall not (i) modify or amend in any respect whatsoever the interest rate provisions of the Credit Documents, (ii) increase the Total Commitment above $425,000,000.00, except as provided in Section 2.7 hereof, (iii) extend the Maturity Date other than in accordance with the express provisions of the Credit Documents, (iv) extend or reduce the due date for or the amount of the scheduled payments of principal or interest on the Loans, the LC Disbursements, the Facility Fee, the Letter of Credit Fee or the Extension Fee, (v) amend the definition of Majority Lenders or any requirement that certain actions be taken only with the consent of a certain number of the Lenders, (vi) release any Guarantor or any collateral for the Loans, except as provided in Section 5.17(c) or (vii) modify or amend any provision of any Credit Document which by its terms requires the consent of all of the Lenders for amendment. In addition, without the consent of all Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby, Agent shall not modify or amend the terms of Section 2.3, 2.5(b) or Section 7.3. From time to time upon Agent’s request, each Lender shall execute and deliver such documents and instruments as may be reasonably necessary to enable Agent to effectively administer and service the Loan in its capacity as Agent and in the manner contemplated by the provisions of this Agreement. No amendment or agreement shall increase the Lender Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender.

(c) All information provided to the Agent under or pursuant to the Credit Documents, and all rights of the Agent to receive or request information, or to inspect information or Property, shall be by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks. If any Lender requests that it be able to receive or request such information, or make such inspections, in its own right rather than through the Agent, the Borrower will cooperate with the Agent and such Lender in order to obtain such information or make such inspection as such Lender may reasonably require.

(d) The Borrower shall be entitled to rely upon a written notice or a written response from the Agent as being pursuant to concurrence or consent of the Majority Lenders or all of the Lenders, as applicable, unless otherwise expressly stated in the Agent’s notice or response.

8.2 Reliance. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telex, telecopy, telegram or cable) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (which may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent shall not be required in any way to determine the identity or authority of any Person delivering or executing the same. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and thereunder in accordance with instructions of the Majority Lenders, and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on

-83-

all of the Lenders. If any order, writ, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting the rights, duties and obligations of the Agent under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, then and in any of such events the Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to rely upon and comply with such order, writ, judgment or decree which it is advised by legal counsel of its own choosing is binding upon it under the terms of this Agreement, the relevant Credit Document or otherwise; and if the Agent complies with any such order, writ, judgment or decree, then it shall not be liable to any Lender or to any other Person by reason of such compliance even though such order, writ, judgment or decree may be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

8.3 Defaults. The Agent shall not be deemed to have constructive knowledge of the occurrence of a Default (other than the nonpayment of principal of or interest on Loans) unless it has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower specifying such Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. In the event that the Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default, or whenever the Agent has actual knowledge of the occurrence of a Default, the Agent shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Lenders (and shall give each Lender prompt notice of each such nonpayment). The Agent shall (subject to Section 8.7 hereof) take such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by the Majority Lenders and within its rights under the Credit Documents and at law or in equity, provided that, unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, permitted hereby with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders and within its rights under the Credit Documents in order to preserve, protect or enhance the collectability of the Loans, at law or in equity. Provided, however, that if there is an occurrence of an Event of Default, then in no event or under any circumstances shall any of the actions described in Sections 8.1(b)(i) through (vii) of this Agreement be taken, without in each instance the written consent of Agent and all of the Lenders other than any Defaulting Lender.

8.4 Rights as a Lender. With respect to the Total Commitment and the Loans made, Agent, in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting in its agency capacity, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity. The Agent may (without having to account therefor to any other Lender) as a Lender, and to the same extent as any other Lender, accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, letter of credit, agency or other business with the Borrower (and any of its Affiliates) as if it were not acting as the Agent but solely as a Lender. The Agent may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower (in addition to the fees heretofore agreed to between the Borrower and the Agent) for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

8.5 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent, its officers, directors, agents and Affiliates (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower as may be required

-84-

by the terms of the Credit Documents, and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably in accordance with each Lender’s respective Percentage, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE AGENT, BUT NOT THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE AGENT) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts paid in settlement in accordance with the terms of this Section 8, but excluding, unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE AGENT, BUT NOT THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE AGENT, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified, or from the Agent’s default in the express obligations of the Agent to the Lenders provided for in this Agreement. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 8.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations.

8.6 NonReliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it has received current financial information with respect to the Obligors and that it has, independently and without reliance on the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Obligors and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents. The Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by any Party of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of the Borrower or any Party except as specifically required by the Credit Documents. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent hereunder or the other Credit Documents, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrower or any other Party (or any of their affiliates) which may come into the possession of the Agent. Each Lender assumes all risk of loss in connection with its Percentage in the Loans to the full extent of its Percentage therein. The Agent assumes all risk of loss in connection with its Percentage in the Loans to the full extent of its Percentage therein.

8.7 Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of the Agent, as the case may be, hereunder, or under the other Credit Documents, the Agent shall in all cases be fully justified

-85-

in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction by the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 8.5 hereof against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Further, the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States of America or other debtor relief laws in any applicable jurisdictions or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of such laws.

8.8 Resignation of Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, the Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Agent shall resign upon the request of the Majority Lenders to the extent that the Agent shall have committed any gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties under this Agreement. Upon any such resignation, (i) the Majority Lenders without the consent of the Borrower shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent so long as such successor Agent is also a Lender at the time of such appointment and (ii) the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent that is not a Lender at the time of such appointment so long as the Borrower (if no Event of Default is then in existence) consents to such appointment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and 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 with the consent of the Borrower which shall not be unreasonably withheld, appoint a successor Agent. Any successor Agent shall be an Eligible Institution. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Agent thereafter arising hereunder and under any other Credit Documents, but shall not be discharged from any liabilities for its actions as Agent prior to the date of discharge. Such successor Agent shall promptly specify by notice to the Borrower its principal office referred to in Section 2.1 and Section 2.2 hereof. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 8 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Agent.

8.9 No Partnership. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor any of the other Credit Documents nor any interest the Lenders, the Agent or any of them may now or hereafter have in all or any part of the Obligations shall create or be construed as creating a partnership, joint venture or other joint enterprise between the Lenders or among the Lenders and the Agent. The relationship between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other, is and shall be that of principals and agent only, and nothing in this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents shall be construed to constitute the Agent as trustee or other fiduciary

-86-

for any Lender or to impose on the Agent any duty, responsibility or obligation other than those expressly provided for herein and therein.

8.10 Consents and Approvals. All communications from Agent to the Lenders requesting the Lenders’ determination, consent, approval or disapproval (i) shall be given in the form of a written notice to each Lender, (ii) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or item as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise each Lender where such matter or item may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (iii) shall include, if reasonably requested by a Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and a summary of all oral information provided to Agent by Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (iv) shall include Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Each Lender shall reply promptly, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the request therefor from Agent (the “Lender Reply Period”). Unless a Lender shall give written notice to Agent that it objects to the recommendation or determination of Agent within the Lender Reply Period, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination. With respect to decisions requiring the approval of the Majority Lenders or all the Lenders, Agent shall submit its recommendation or determination for approval of or consent to such recommendation or determination to all Lenders and upon receiving the required approval or consent shall follow the course of action or determination of the Majority Lenders (and each non-responding Lenders shall be deemed to have concurred with such recommended course of action) or all the Lenders, as the case may be.

8.11 No Reliance on Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 1020.220 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, their Affiliates or their agents, the Credit Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices, or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Anti-Terrorism Laws.

8.12 Delegation of Duties. The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Documents 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 of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by our through their respective affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the affiliates of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall also apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the facilities provided hereunder as well as the activities of

-87-

the Agent. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final non-appealable judgment that the Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

8.13 Titled Agents. Each of the Co-Documentation Agents, the Co-Syndication Agents and the Sustainability Agent in each such respective capacity, assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles of “Co-Syndication Agent”, “Co-Documentation Agent” and “Sustainability Agent” are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of such agents to the Agent, the Borrower or any Lender and the use of such titles does not impose on such agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle such agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.

8.14 Erroneous Payments.

(a) Each Lender hereby agrees that (i) 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 were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise), individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (ii) such Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Agent to any Lender under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives an Erroneous Payment from the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (i) that is in an amount different than (other than a de minimis difference), 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 Erroneous Payment (an “Erroneous Payment Notice”), or (ii) that was not preceded or accompanied by an Erroneous Payment Notice, it shall be on notice that, in each such case, an

-88-

error has been made with respect to such Erroneous Payment. Each Lender further agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware an Erroneous 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 (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) that was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(c) The Borrower and each other Obligor hereby agree that (i) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Erroneous 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 (ii) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Obligor, except to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds of the Borrower or any other Obligor.

(d) Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.14 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 Total Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Credit Document.

9. Miscellaneous.

9.1 No Waiver, Amendments. No waiver of any Default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other Default. No failure to exercise or delay in exercising any right or power under any Credit Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power preclude any further or other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. Except as may be prohibited by Section 8.1 hereof, no amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of any Credit Document shall be effective unless the same is in writing and signed by the Borrower and the Majority Lenders. No notice to or demand on the Borrower or any other Person shall entitle the Borrower or any other Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

9.2 Notices. Any notice, request, demand, direction or other communication (for purposes of this Section 9.2 only, a “Notice”) to be given to or made upon any party hereto under any provision of this Agreement shall be given or made by telephone or in writing (which includes by means of electronic transmission (i.e., “e-mail”) or facsimile transmission or by setting forth such Notice on a site on the World Wide Web (a “Website Posting”) if Notice of such Website Posting (including the information necessary to access such site) has previously been delivered to the applicable parties hereto by another means set forth in this Section 9.2) in accordance with this Section 9.2. Any such Notice must be delivered to the applicable parties hereto at the addresses and numbers set forth under their respective names on the signature pages

-89-

9.3 Litigation; Jurisdiction; Other Matters; Waivers. THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER OBLIGOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST THE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY RELATED PARTY OF THE FOREGOING IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME. EACH

-90-

OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER CREDIT 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 CREDIT DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER OBLIGOR OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOAN AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

9.4 Choice of Law. THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

9.5 Survival; Parties Bound; Successors and Assigns. (a) All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of the Credit Documents, shall not be affected by any investigation made by any Person, and shall bind the Borrower and its successors, trustees, receivers and assigns and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (including any Affiliate of the applicable Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit); provided, however, that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent and all of the Lenders, and any such assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and void.

(b) Subject to Sections 9.5(d) and (e) of this Agreement, a Lender may assign part of its Lender Commitment to an Eligible Institution so long as such assignment shall (i) include the voting rights and all other rights and obligations attributable thereto, and include a written assumption by the assignee of the assigning Lender’s obligations under the Credit Documents, (ii) require the written consent of the Borrower (so long as no Event of Default is then in existence) and the Agent (and in the case of an assignment of all or a portion of a Lender Commitment or any Lender’s obligation in respect of its LC Exposure, the applicable Issuing Bank), such consents of the Borrower and Agent not to be unreasonably withheld, (iii) be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000.00 if assigned to a Person not already a Lender, (iv) not reduce the Lender’s Lender Commitment to an amount less than $5,000,000.00, unless such Lender’s Commitment is reduced to zero, and (v) include payment to the Agent by the Lender of a service

-91-

fee for each assignment equal to $3,000.00. Any attempted Assignment which is not permitted in accordance with this subsection shall be treated as the sale of a participating interest.

(c) Subject to Section 9.5(d) and (e) of this Agreement, a Lender may sell participating interests in any of its Loans to (i) any Person so long as such participation shall (A) limit the voting rights of the participant, if any, to the ability to vote for changes in the amount of the Total Commitment, or the applicable Lender Commitment, the interest rate on the Loans (or any extension of the time for the payment thereof, the amount or any extension of the time for the payment thereof, of the Facility Fee, the Letter of Credit Fee or the Extension Fee, the requirements for Guaranties and for collateral, and the Maturity Date, and (B) require written notice to the Agent and the Borrower but not any consent of the Agent, the Borrower or any other Lender; and (ii) any Person formed to hold LIBOR Borrowings for specific Interest Periods, with liquidity and credit support provided by the participating Lender, so long as such participation shall convey no voting rights to the participant. In connection with any sale of a participating interest made in compliance with this Agreement, (i) the participating Lender shall continue to be liable for its Lender Commitment and its other obligations under the Credit Documents, (ii) the Agent, the Borrower and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with the participating Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Credit Documents, and (iii) the participant may not require the participating Lender to take or refrain from taking any action under the Credit Documents that is in conflict with the terms and provisions of the Credit Documents, and (iv) the participant shall have the same rights that a Lender may have under Section 2.5 (solely with respect to the set-off rights provided in such section, provided that such participant also agrees to be subject to the remaining provisions under such section), Section 3.5(b), Section 3.9 and Section 5.14.

(d) A Lender may assign all or any part of its Loans, participations in Letters of Credit or its Lender Commitment or its Lender Commitment to another Lender, an Affiliate of the Lender, or to an Approved Fund, without written consent of the Agent and the Borrower.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, any Lender may assign and pledge all or any portion of its Lender Commitment and Loans to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, that any such assignment or pledge shall not relieve such Lender from its obligations under the Credit Documents.

(f) The term of this Agreement shall be until the final maturity of the Notes and the payment of all amounts due under the Credit Documents.

(g) Any Lender may share information with respect to any of the Obligors with any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement.

(h) No assignment or participation of any Lender’s interest to any Obligor, any Affiliate of any Obligor, any Defaulting Lender, or any natural Person (or holding company,

-92-

investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person) shall be permitted.

9.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several identical counterparts, and by the parties hereto on separate counterparts, and each counterpart, when so executed and delivered, shall constitute an original instrument, and all such separate counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

9.7 Usury Not Intended; Refund of Any Excess Payments. It is the intent of the parties in the execution and performance of this Agreement to contract in strict compliance with the usury laws of the State of New York and the United States of America from time to time in effect. In furtherance thereof, the Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money with interest at a rate in excess of the Ceiling Rate and that for purposes hereof “interest” shall include the aggregate of all charges which constitute interest under such laws that are contracted for, reserved, taken, charged or received under this Agreement. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any specific contingency, exceeds the Ceiling Rate, the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (a) characterize any nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) “spread” the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Loans. The provisions of this paragraph shall control over all other provisions of the Credit Documents which may be in apparent conflict herewith.

9.8 Captions. The headings and captions appearing in the Credit Documents have been included solely for convenience and shall not be considered in construing the Credit Documents.

9.9 Severability. If any provision of any Credit Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

9.10 Disclosures. Every reference in the Credit Documents to disclosures of the Borrower to the Agent and the Lenders in writing, to the extent that such references refer to disclosures at or prior to the execution of this Agreement, shall be deemed strictly to refer only to written disclosures delivered to the Agent and the Lenders in an orderly manner concurrently with the execution hereof.

9.11 Entire Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS TOGETHER CONSTITUTE A WRITTEN AGREEMENT AND REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF, AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE

-93-

PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

9.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, OR RELATED TO, THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED TO ANY OF THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS. THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY BORROWER, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS AND BORROWER, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NONE OF THE THEM NOR ANY PERSON ACTING ON BEHALF OF ANY OF THEM HAS OR HAVE MADE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT TO INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR IN ANY WAY TO MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS EFFECT. THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT EACH OF THEM HAS BEEN REPRESENTED (OR HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE REPRESENTED) IN THE SIGNING OF THIS AGREEMENT AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, SELECTED BY ITS OWN FREE WILL, AND THAT EACH OF THEM HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS WAIVER WITH COUNSEL. THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS AGREE THAT THE OBLIGATIONS EVIDENCED BY THIS AGREEMENT ARE EXEMPTED TRANSACTIONS UNDER THE TRUTH-IN-LENDING ACT, 15 U.S.C. SECTION 1601, ET SEQ. THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT EACH OF THEM HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THE MEANING OF THIS WAIVER PROVISION.

9.13 Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement amends, restates, replaces and supersedes, in its entirety, the Existing Credit Agreement (as defined in the Recitals to this Agreement). Borrower represents, warrants and agrees that, as of the date hereof, (i) there is no uncured Default or Event of Default under the Existing Credit Agreement by any party thereto; (ii) no condition exists which, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would constitute an uncured Default or Event of Default by any party thereto or which could give rise to a setoff or defense under the Existing Credit Agreement; (iii) the Existing Credit Agreement and the related credit documents are valid, in full force and effect, and are legally binding on the parties thereto and any prior or current holder thereof; (iv) Borrower has no defenses to the enforceability of the Existing Credit Agreement, including, but not limited to, the defense of usury; and (v) Borrower has no right of set-off to any sums due under the Existing Credit Agreement and related credit documents and no counterclaims against any party thereto or prior or current holder thereof or counterclaims pertaining to the Existing Credit Agreement. It is the intention of the Borrower and the Lenders that while this Agreement amends, restates, replaces and supersedes, in its entirety, the indebtedness evidenced by the Existing Credit Agreement and the related credit documents, this Agreement is not in payment or satisfaction of the Existing Credit Agreement and related credit documents, but rather is in substitution of one evidence of debt for another.

-94-

Nothing herein contained is intended as, or shall be construed as, a novation of the Existing Credit Agreement and related credit documents.

9.14 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower that opens an account. What this means: when the Borrower opens an account, each Lender will ask for the business name, business address, taxpayer identifying number and other information that will allow the Lender to identify the Borrower, such as organizational documents. For some business and organizations, the Lender may also need to ask for identifying information and documentation relating to certain individuals associated with the business or organization.

9.15 Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against the Agent any Lender or any Issuing Bank, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit, or the use of the proceeds thereof.

9.16 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institution.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit 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 Credit 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 undertaking, 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 Credit Document; and

-95-

(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.

9.17 Acknowledgement Regarding any Supported QFC. To the extent that the Credit Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any interest rate hedge 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 Credit Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Credit Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Credit 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.

(b) As used in this Section 9.17, the following terms have the following meanings:

BHC Act Affiliate of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

Covered Entity means any of the following:

(i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

-96-

(ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b);

(iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

Default Right has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

QFC has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).
