(2) for purposes of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Company 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 dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities;

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

(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer representative.

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

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) of that definition has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 8.2 and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 8.2.

at the prior written election of the Company to the Administrative Agent (the Company’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, an “LCA Election”), the date that the letter of intent or definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is entered into (the “LCA Test Date”) may be used as the applicable date of determination, as the case may be, with pro forma adjustments and based on the most recently ended Computation Period for which financial statements are internally available at the time of determination. In addition, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary any condition to any Limited Condition Acquisition with respect to which the Company makes an LCA Election (and any related Debt) that requires that no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing prior to, at the time of or after giving effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition (or the incurrence of such Debt) shall be deemed satisfied if (i) no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the LCA Test Date, and (ii) no Event of Default under Section 12.1.1 or Section 12.1.3 shall have occurred and be continuing both immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and any Debt incurred in connection therewith.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company makes an LCA Election (a) any fluctuation or change in the EBITDA, Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio, Interest Coverage Ratio, Consolidated Net Income, consolidated assets or consolidated tangible assets of Parent and its Subsidiaries from the LCA Test Date to the date of consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition will not be taken into account for purposes of determining whether any Debt or Lien that is being incurred in connection with such Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted to be incurred, or whether any other transaction undertaken in connection with such Limited Condition Acquisition by Parent or any Subsidiary complies with the Loan Documents and (b) in connection with any subsequent calculation of any incurrence ratio or basket that was determined as of the LCA Test Date as a result of such LCA Election in order to determine compliance following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or (ii) the date that the applicable agreement in respect of the Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Debt and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

1.4            Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate (Reserve Adjusted), which is derived from the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”). LIBOR is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition, or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. Each party to this agreement should consult its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, Section 8.2(b) and (c) provide the mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company, pursuant to Section 8.2(e), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to LIBOR or other

rates in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate (Reserve Adjusted)” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 8.2 (b) or (c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 8.2(d)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the Eurodollar Rate (Reserve Adjusted) or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

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

2.1            Commitments. On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Lenders, severally and for itself alone and not jointly, agrees to make loans to the Company as follows:

   2.1.1              Term Loans. On the Borrowing Date, each Lender made a term loan (each, a “Term Loan”) to the Company in a principal amount in Dollars not exceeding its Term Loan Commitment. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.1.1 and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

2.2           Loan Procedures.

   2.2.1              Various Types of Loans. Each Loan shall be either a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Loan (each a “type” of Loan), as the Company shall specify in the related notice of borrowing, continuation or conversion pursuant to Section 2.2.2 or 2.2.3. Eurodollar Loans made to the Company having the same Interest Period are sometimes called a “Group” or collectively “Groups”. Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans may be outstanding at the same time, provided that (i) not more than fifteen different Groups of Eurodollar Loans shall be outstanding at any one time and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of each Group of Eurodollar Loans shall at all times be at least in the case of Eurodollar Loans, $3,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, in any event, the then-outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans).

   2.2.2              [Reserved].

   2.2.3              Conversion and Continuation Procedures. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.2.1, the Company may, upon irrevocable written notice (or telephonic notice (followed promptly by written confirmation thereof)) to the Administrative Agent in accordance with clause (b) below:

   (i)            elect, as of any Business Day, to convert any outstanding Loan into a Loan of a different type; or

(b)            The Company shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of each proposed conversion or continuation not later than (i) in the case of conversion into Base Rate Loans, 1:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the proposed date of such conversion; and (ii) in the case of a conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans, 2:00 p.m. (Local Time) at least three Business Days prior to the proposed date of such conversion or continuation, specifying in each case:

     (1)          the proposed date of conversion or continuation;

     (2)          [reserved];

     (3)          the aggregate amount of Loans to be converted or continued;

     (4)          the type of Loans resulting from the proposed conversion or continuation; and

     (5)          in the case of conversion into, or continuation of, Eurodollar Loans, the duration of the requested Interest Period therefor.

(c)            If upon expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Eurodollar Loan, the Company has failed to select timely a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Loan, the Company shall be deemed to have elected to continue such Eurodollar Loan with a one-month Interest Period effective on the last day of such Interest Period.

(d)            The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a notice of conversion or continuation pursuant to this Section 2.2 or, if no timely notice is provided by the Company, of the details of any automatic continuation.

(e)            Unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent, during the existence of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default, the Company may not elect to have a Loan converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Loan.

2.3           [Reserved].

2.4           [Reserved].

2.5           Commitments Several. The failure of any Lender to make a requested Loan on any date shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation (if any) to make a Loan on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan to be made by such other Lender.

2.6           [Reserved].

2.7           [Reserved].

2.8           [Reserved].

2.9           [Reserved].

2.10         Defaulting Lenders.

(a)            Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

   (i)          Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 14.1.

   (ii)         Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 12 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 7.5 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, [reserved]; third, [reserved]; fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured 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 Administrative Agent; fifth, [reserved]; sixth, to the payment of amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Company as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Company 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. Any payment, prepayment or other amount paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents to the foregoing.

   (iii)        (A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any non-use fee (pursuant to Section 5.1 or otherwise) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Company shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender); and (B) [reserved].

SECTION 3.                EVIDENCE OF DEBT.

3.1           Lender Records. The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Company and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Company hereunder to pay any amount owing hereunder or under any other Loan Document. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Company shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit A (each a “Note”), which shall evidence such Lender’s Loan, in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note (or Notes) and endorse thereon the date, type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

3.2           [Reserved].

SECTION 4.               INTEREST.

4.1           Interest Rates; Default Interest.

   4.1.1             Interest Rates for Loans. The Company promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made to it for the period commencing on the date such Loan is made until such Loan is paid in full as follows:

(a)            at all times such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin from time to time in effect; and

(b)           at all times such Loan is a Eurodollar Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate (Reserve Adjusted) applicable to each Interest Period for such Loan plus the Eurodollar Margin from time to time in effect.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Company hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.0% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.0% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section (the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), as applicable, the “Default Rate”).

   4.1.2             [Reserved].

4.2           Interest Payment Dates. Accrued interest on each Base Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter and at maturity. Accrued interest on each Eurodollar Loan shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period relating to such Loan (and, in the case of a Eurodollar Loan with an Interest Period of six months or longer, on each three-month anniversary of the first day of such Interest Period) and at maturity. After maturity, accrued interest on all Loans shall be payable on demand.

4.3           Setting and Notice of Eurodollar Rates. The applicable Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, which shall give notice thereof to the Company and each Lender. Each determination of the applicable Eurodollar Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto, in the absence of demonstrable error. The Administrative Agent shall, upon written request of the Company or any Lender, deliver to the Company or such Lender a statement showing the computations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any applicable Eurodollar Rate hereunder.

4.4           Computation of Interest. All determinations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Prime Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed. All other computations of interest shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days or on such other basis as the Administrative Agent shall determine is customary for the relevant currency. The applicable interest rate for each Base Rate Loan shall change simultaneously with each change in the Base Rate.

SECTION 5.          FEES.

5.1           Non-Use Fee. Subject to Section 2.10(a)(iii)(A), the Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term Lender a non-use fee, for the period from May

16, 2021 to the Borrowing Date, at a rate per annum equal to the Non-Use Fee Rate multiplied by the actual daily unused portion of such Term Lender’s Term Loan Commitment (or, for any day from May 16, 2021 and prior to the Effective Date, in respect of such Term Lender’s allocated commitments in respect of the Term Loan Commitments). Such non-use fee shall be earned, due and payable on the earlier of (x) the Borrowing Date and (y) the termination of the Availability Period. The non-use fee shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days. Other Fees(a). The Company shall, without duplication to the fees referred to above in Section 5.1, pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers (or their Affiliates) for their account (or that of their applicable Affiliates) such fees as separately agreed between Parent or its Subsidiaries and the Administrative Agent and/or the Lead Arrangers pursuant to any fee or similar letters.

SECTION 6.          CHANGES IN COMMITMENTS; PREPAYMENTS; AMORTIZATION; REPAYMENT OF LOANS.

6.1           [Reserved].

6.2           Prepayments.

   6.2.1             The Company may from time to time prepay Loans in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, provided that the Company shall give the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly advise each Lender) notice thereof not later than (a) 2:30 p.m. (Local Time) on the date of such prepayment (which shall be a Business Day), in the case of Base Rate Loans, and (b) two Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, in each case specifying the Loans to be prepaid and the date and amount of prepayment. Each partial prepayment of Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $3,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Prepayments of Loans shall be applied pro rata to the Loans of all Lenders based on the outstanding amount thereof for the account of such applicable Lender. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor shall include interest on the principal amount being repaid and shall be subject to Section 8.4. Each notice of prepayment under this Section 6.2.1 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice delivered by the Company of the prepayment of Loans in connection with the termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 6.1.1(b) may state that such notice is conditioned upon the consummation of another transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

   6.2.2             [Reserved].

   6.2.3             [Reserved].

   6.2.4             Mandatory Prepayments. (a) Subject to clauses (c) and (d) below, on each occasion that Parent or any Subsidiary receives any Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any Prepayment Event, outstanding Loans shall be prepaid on a Dollar for Dollar basis by Parent or its Subsidiaries promptly (and in any event within five Business Days) with any such Net Cash Proceeds; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, such Net Cash Proceeds of a Prepayment Event may be applied towards the prepayment or purchase of other Debt having the same (including with respect to priority) credit support package (whether in terms of security and/or guarantees) as the Loans to the extent the documentation governing such Debt requires such a prepayment or purchase (or commitment reduction) with Net Cash Proceeds in respect of such Prepayment Event, in each case in an amount not to exceed the product of (x) the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of such other Debt (or committed amounts) and the denominator of which is the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans and all such other Debt (or committed amounts); provided further that any such allocation of Net Cash Proceeds to Debt (including the Term Loans) as contemplated in the immediately preceding proviso

shall be subject to the terms of any Note Purchase Agreement as to the allocation of any such Net Cash Proceeds to the Senior Notes. Subject to clause (b) below, each prepayment of outstanding Loans required to be made pursuant to this paragraph shall be allocated pro rata among the Loans.

   (b)  The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 6.2.4 at least three Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender holding Loans of the contents of the Company’s prepayment notice and of such Lender’s pro rata share of the prepayment. Each Lender may reject all or a portion of its pro rata share of any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds” and such rejecting Lenders, the “Declining Proceeds Lenders”) of Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 6.2.4(a) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Company no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) one Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment. Each Rejection Notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory repayment of Loans to be rejected by such Lender. If a Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Loans. Any Declined Proceeds remaining thereafter, first, if there are Loans outstanding, shall be offered to the Lenders (other than any Declining Proceeds Lender) on a pro rata basis (based on their outstanding Loans), which Lenders may reject all or a portion of their pro rata shares of such Declined Proceeds, second, [reserved], and, third, to the extent any Declined Proceeds remain thereafter, shall not be subject to mandatory prepayment hereunder.

   (c)   Notwithstanding clause (a) above, if (x) the Company shall deliver a certificate of an Executive Officer to the Administrative Agent at or promptly following the time of receipt of any amount that would otherwise constitute Net Cash Proceeds of an Asset Sale setting forth the Company’s intent to reinvest such proceeds in productive assets or businesses within 365 days of receipt of such proceeds (the “Investment Period”) and (y) in respect of an Asset Sale, no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing at the time of the delivery of such certificate, such proceeds shall not constitute Net Cash Proceeds except to the extent not so used at the end of such Investment Period (or, if the Company commits to reinvest such proceeds within such Investment Period, within 180 days of the end of such Investment Period), at which time such proceeds shall be deemed to be Net Cash Proceeds.

   (d)   The Company shall not be required to prepay by any amount that would otherwise be required pursuant to clause (a) above to the extent (i) the relevant Net Cash Proceeds are generated by any Foreign Subsidiary and the repatriation to the Company of any such Net Cash Proceeds would be prohibited, restricted or delayed under any applicable law or conflict with the fiduciary duties of such Foreign Subsidiary’s directors or officers or (ii) the relevant Net Cash Proceeds are generated by any Foreign Subsidiary and the repatriation of such Net Cash Proceeds to the Company would result in adverse tax consequences as reasonably determined by the Company; provided that upon the Company obtaining knowledge that such circumstance in clause (i) and/or clause (ii), as applicable, ceases to apply, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be deemed received for purposes of clause (a) above and any prepayment or reduction requirements applicable thereto.

   6.2.5             Dutch Auction.

   (a)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the Company may conduct Dutch auctions from time to time in order to purchase Loans (each, an “Auction”) (each such Auction to be managed exclusively by the Administrative Agent or another investment bank(s)

of recognized standing selected by the Company following consultation with the Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Auction Manager”)), so long as the following conditions are satisfied:

   (i)            each Auction shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures, terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6.2.5 and Schedule 6.2.5;

   (ii)            no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default shall (A) have occurred and be continuing on the date of the delivery of each Auction Notice or (B) have occurred at the time of purchase of any Loans or result from the purchase of any Loans, in each case in connection with any Auction;

   (iii)           the minimum principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of the Loans that the Company offers to purchase in any such Auction shall be no less than $25,000,000 (unless another amount is agreed to by the Auction Manager);

   (iv)           [reserved];

   (v)            the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Loans so purchased by the Company shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the Company on the settlement date of the relevant purchase (and may not be resold) and all rights of the Company as a Lender related to any Loans so purchased by the Company shall automatically and immediately, for all purposes under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and otherwise, be deemed to be irrevocably terminated, extinguished, cancelled and of no further force and effect and none of Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall obtain or have any rights as a Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by virtue of such purchase or assignment;

   (vi)           no more than one Auction may be ongoing at any one time;

   (vii)          Parent and the Company represent and warrant on the date of delivery of each Auction Notice that Parent and the Company shall not have any MNPI that both (A) has not been previously disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (other than because such Lender does not wish to receive such MNPI) prior to such time, and (B) could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material, to a Lender’s decision to participate in the Auction; and

   (viii)         at the time of each purchase of Loans through an Auction, the Company shall have delivered to the Auction Manager an officer’s certificate of an Executive Officer of the Company certifying as to compliance with the preceding clauses (i) through (vii).

(b)              The Company must terminate an Auction if it fails to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Loans pursuant to the respective Auction. If the Company commences any Auction (and all relevant requirements set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the commencement of the respective Auction have in fact been satisfied), and if at such time of commencement the Company reasonably believes that all required conditions set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the purchase of Loans pursuant to such Auction shall be satisfied, then the Company shall have no liability to any Lender or any other Person for any termination of the respective Auction as a result of its failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Loans pursuant to the respective Auction, and any such failure shall not result in any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default hereunder. With respect to all purchases of Loans made by the Company pursuant to this Section 6.2.5, (i) the Company shall pay on

the settlement date of each such purchase the purchase price and all accrued and unpaid interest (except to the extent otherwise set forth in the relevant offer documents for such Auction), if any, on the purchased Loans up to the settlement date of such purchase, and (ii) such purchases (and the payments made by the Company and the cancellation of the purchased Loans, in each case in connection therewith) shall not constitute optional or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Sections 6.2.

(c)              The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Auctions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 6.2.5 (provided that, no Lender shall have any obligation to participate in any such Auctions) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of any Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any Auction or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 6.2.5. The Auction Manager acting in its capacity as such hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Section 13, Section 14.5 and Section 14.11 mutatis mutandis as if each reference therein to the “Administrative Agent” were a reference to the Auction Manager, and the Administrative Agent shall cooperate with the Auction Manager as reasonably requested by the Auction Manager in order to enable it to perform its responsibilities and duties in connection with each Auction.

   6.3.1             [Reserved].

   6.3.4             [Reserved].

   6.3.5             Repayments of Loans shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid.

SECTION 7.                MAKING AND PRORATION OF PAYMENTS; SETOFF; TAXES.

7.1           Making of Payments. All payments of principal of or interest on the Loans shall be made by the Company to the Administrative Agent at its principal office in New York, New York in immediately available funds in Dollars and without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, not later than noon on the date due, and funds received after that hour shall be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent on the next following Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to each Lender its share (if any) of all such payments received in collected funds by the Administrative Agent. All payments under Section 8.1 shall be made by the Company directly to the Lender entitled thereto.

7.2           Application of Certain Payments. Each payment of principal shall be applied to such Loans as the Company shall direct by notice to be received by the Administrative Agent on or before the date of such payment or, in the absence of such notice, first, to repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans and then, to repay such Loans outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, with those Eurodollar Loans having earlier expiring Interest Periods being repaid prior to those having later expiring Interest Periods. Concurrently with each remittance to any Lender of its share of any such payment, the Administrative Agent shall advise such Lender as to the application of such payment.

7.3           Due Date Extension or Reduction. If any payment of principal or interest with respect to any of the Loans, or of any fees or other amounts fall due on a day which is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the immediately following Business Day (unless, in the case of a payment of interest on a Eurodollar Loan, the result of such extension would be to extend the due date for such payment into another calendar month, in which case such due date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day) and any extension or reduction of time shall be reflected in computing interest and fees.

7.4           Failure to Make Payments. Unless the Company or a Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment to be made by it is due, that it does not intend to remit such payment, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, assume that the Company or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely remitted such payment and may, in its sole and absolute discretion and in reliance thereon, make available such payment to the Person entitled thereto. If such payment was not in fact remitted to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then:

(i)            if the Company failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the amount of such assumed payment made available to such Lender, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to, in the case of (a) amounts owed in Dollars (x) for the first three days after demand, the NYFRB Rate from time to time in effect and (y) thereafter, the Base Rate from time to time in effect and (ii) in the case of amounts owed not denominated in Dollars, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation; and

(ii)           if a Lender failed to make such payment, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company, and the Company shall pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Company at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the applicable borrowing. Nothing in this clause (ii) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Company may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

7.5           Setoff. The Company agrees that the Administrative Agent and each Lender have all rights of set-off and bankers’ lien provided by applicable law, and in addition thereto, the Company agrees that at any time any Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any Affiliate thereof, may apply to the payment of any obligations of the Company hereunder, whether or not then due, any and all balances, credits, deposits (excluding deposits held in a trustee, fiduciary, agency or similar capacity or otherwise for the benefit of a third party), accounts or moneys of the Company then or thereafter with the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Affiliate; provided that if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of set-off, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.10 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations of the Company as to which it exercised such right of set-off; provided further, that to the extent prohibited by applicable law as described in the definition of “Excluded Swap Obligation,” no amounts received from, or set off with respect to, any Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or such Affiliate; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

7.6           Proration of Payments. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise, but excluding any payment pursuant to Section 8.7 or in connection with an assignment or participation pursuant to Section 14.8 prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 12.1.1 or 12.1.3 or any other payment or recovery made on a non-ratable basis pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document) on account of principal of or interest on any Loan in excess of its pro rata share (or other share specified hereunder or under any other applicable Loan Document) of payments and other recoveries obtained by all Lenders on account of principal of and interest on Loans (or such participations) then held by them, such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participation in the Loans held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery.

7.7           Taxes. (a) All payments of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by a Loan Party hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, then the Company will, or will cause each other applicable Loan Party to:

(i)            pay directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

(ii)           promptly forward to the Administrative Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing such payment to such Governmental Authority; and

(iii)          if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes and except to the extent such withholding or deduction would not be required if such Lender’s Exemption Representation were true as of the date made, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Recipient such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Recipient will equal the full amount such Recipient would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

Moreover, if any Indemnified Taxes are directly asserted against the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any payment received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender hereunder, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may pay such Indemnified Taxes and the applicable Loan Party will (except to the extent such Taxes are payable by a Lender and would not have been payable if such Lender’s Exemption Representation were true as of the date made), promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalty, interest and expense) as are necessary in order that the net amount received by such Person after the payment of such Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such Person would have received had such Indemnified Taxes not been asserted, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.

(b)            If any Loan Party fails to pay any Indemnified Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Recipient, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Company shall indemnify each Recipient for any incremental Indemnified Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any Recipient as a result of any such failure, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.

(c)            Each Lender represents and warrants (such Lender’s “Exemption Representation”) to the Company and the Administrative Agent that, as of the date of this Agreement (or, in the case of an Assignee, the date it becomes a party hereto), it is entitled to receive payments hereunder without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes imposed by the

United States of America or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof other than with respect to any Excluded Taxes.

(d)            Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 14.8.2 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in either case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (c).

(e)            (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 7.7(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender’s to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

   (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

   (A)

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

   (B)

(1)

in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-

8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2)

executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3)

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

(4)

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

   (C)

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

   (D)

if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to withholding Tax imposed pursuant to or in connection with FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the

Company or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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

(f)            If, and to the extent that, any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes indemnified or paid by the Company or any Loan Party pursuant to this Section 7.7, such Recipient agrees to promptly notify the Company thereof and thereupon to use reasonable efforts to pay to the Company an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Recipient and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). The Company, upon the request of such Recipient, shall repay to such the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will any Recipient be required to pay any amount to the Company pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(g)            Each Lender shall, promptly upon request by the Company, deliver to the Company copies of all completed and executed forms reasonably deemed necessary by the Company in connection with the payment of amounts demanded by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing clause (a).

(h)            Each party’s obligations under this Section 7.7 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

SECTION 8.          INCREASED COSTS; MARKET DISRUPTION .

8.1           Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law:

(i)             shall subject any Recipient (including any Eurodollar Office of a Lender) to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) and (c) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations hereunder, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(ii)            shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including any reserve imposed by the FRB, but excluding any reserve included in the determination of interest rates pursuant to Section 4),

special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by any Lender (or any Eurodollar Office of such Lender); or

(iii)           shall impose on any Lender (or its Eurodollar Office) any other condition affecting its Loans, its Note or its obligation to make Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to (or in the case of Regulation D of the FRB, to impose a cost on) such Lender (or any Eurodollar Office of such Lender) of making or maintaining any Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Eurodollar Office) under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto (in each case after giving effect to any interest earned or to be earned on any reserve or special deposit of the type described in clause (ii) above), then within 10 Business Days after written demand by such Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent) to the Company, so long as such demand is substantially consistent with demands made by such Lender with similarly situated customers of such Lender under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 8.1(a), the Company shall pay directly to such Lender such additional amount as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or such reduction.

(b)            If any Lender shall reasonably determine that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or its controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender or such controlling Person to be material, then from time to time, within 10 Business Days after written demand by such Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent) to the Company, so long as such demand is substantially consistent with demands made by such Lender with similarly situated customers of such Lender under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 8.1(b), the Company shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction.

8.2           Inability to Determine Rates, etc.

(a)            (i) If with respect to any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be binding and conclusive on the Company) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate; or

(ii)            If with respect to any Interest Period, Lenders holding an aggregate outstanding amount of Loans or Commitments equal to at least 40% of all outstanding Loans and undrawn Commitments advise the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate (Reserve Adjusted) will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of maintaining or funding such Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period (taking into account any amount to which such Lenders may be entitled under Section 8.1) or that the making or funding of Eurodollar Loans has become impracticable as a result of an event occurring after the date of this Agreement which in the opinion of such Lenders materially affects such Loans;

then the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the other parties thereof and, so long as such circumstances shall continue, (i) no Lender shall be under any obligation to make, continue or convert Loans into Eurodollar Loans, (ii) with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended and (iii) on

the last day of the current Interest Period for each Eurodollar Loan, such Loan shall, unless then repaid in full, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan. The Administrative Agent shall promptly revoke any such notice at such time as the applicable circumstances shall no longer continue; provided that, in the case of any such notice made pursuant to clause (a)(i) above, the Required Lenders shall have consented to such revocation.

(b)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in 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 Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (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 Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

(c)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, 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 the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, this clause (c) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Company a Term SOFR Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative 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.

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

(e)            The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 8.2, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 8.2.

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

(g)            Upon the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Company may revoke any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Company will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. 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 Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR.

8.3           Changes in Law Rendering Eurodollar Loans Unlawful. In the event that any change after the date hereof in (including the adoption of any new) applicable laws or regulations, or any change after the date hereof in the interpretation of applicable laws or regulations by any governmental or other regulatory body charged with the administration thereof, should make it (or in the good faith judgment of any Lender cause a substantial question as to whether it is) unlawful for any Lender to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Loans, then such Lender shall promptly notify each of the other parties hereto and, so long as such circumstances shall continue, (a) such Lender shall have no obligation to make or convert into Eurodollar Loans (but shall make Base Rate Loans, ignoring the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate, concurrently with the making of or conversion into Eurodollar Loans by the Lenders which are not so affected, in each case in an amount equal to such Lender’s pro rata share of all Eurodollar Loans which would be made or converted into at such time in the absence of such circumstances) and (b) on the last day of the current Interest Period for each Eurodollar Loan of such Lender (or, in any event, on such earlier date as may be required by the relevant law, regulation or interpretation), such Eurodollar Loan shall, unless then repaid in full, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan (and such Lender will promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Company when such circumstances cease to exist, at which time such Lender’s obligation to make Eurodollar Loans shall be reinstated). Each Base Rate Loan made by a Lender which, but for the circumstances described in the foregoing sentence, would be a Eurodollar Loan (an “Affected Loan”) shall remain outstanding for the same period as the Group of Eurodollar Loans of which such Affected Loan would be a part absent such circumstances.

8.4           Funding Losses. The Company hereby agrees that upon demand by any Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis in reasonable detail for the amount being claimed, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent), the Company will indemnify such Lender against any net loss (other than loss of Eurodollar Margin or profit) or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur (including any net loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain any Eurodollar Loan), as reasonably determined by such Lender, as a result of (a) any payment, prepayment or conversion of any Eurodollar Loan of such Lender on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan (including any conversion pursuant to Section 8.3) or (b) any failure of the Company to borrow, prepay or continue, or to convert any Loan into, a Eurodollar Loan on a date specified therefor in a notice of borrowing, prepayment, continuation or conversion pursuant to this Agreement. For this purpose, all notices to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be irrevocable.

8.5           Right of Lenders to Fund through Other Offices. Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its commitment as to any Loan by causing a foreign branch or affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; 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 the Company to repay such Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender and shall be deemed held by it, to the extent of such Loan, for the account of such branch or affiliate.

8.6           Discretion of Lenders as to Manner of Funding. 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 its 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 such Lender had actually funded and maintained each Eurodollar Loan during each Interest Period for such Loan through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to such Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period.

8.7           Mitigation of Circumstances; Replacement or Removal of Affected Lender. (a) Each Lender shall promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge which will result in, and will use reasonable commercial efforts available to it (and not, in such Lender’s good faith judgment, otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender) to mitigate or avoid, (i) any obligation by the Company to pay any amount pursuant to Section 7.7 or 8.1 or (ii) the occurrence of any circumstance of the nature described in Section 8.2 or 8.3 (and, if any Lender has given notice of any such event described in clause (i) or (ii) above and thereafter such event ceases to exist, such Lender shall promptly so notify the Company and the Administrative Agent). Without limiting the foregoing, (x) each Lender will designate a different funding office if such designation will avoid (or reduce the cost to the Company of) any event described in clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence and such designation will not, in such Lender’s good faith judgment, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender; and (y) if any Lender fails to notify the Company of any event or circumstance which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to Section 7.7 or 8.1 within 90 days after such Lender obtains knowledge (or reasonably should have obtained knowledge) of such event or circumstance, then such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation from the Company for any amount arising prior to the date which is 90 days before the date on which such Lender demands payment from the Company.

(b)            At any time any Lender is an Affected Lender, the Company may replace such Affected Lender as a party to this Agreement with one or more other bank(s) or financial institution(s) reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, such bank(s) or financial institution(s) to have Commitments in such amounts as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the

Administrative Agent (and upon notice from the Company such Affected Lender shall assign pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, and without recourse or warranty, its Commitment, its Loans, its Note (or Notes) and all of its other rights and obligations hereunder to such replacement bank(s) or other financial institution(s) for a purchase price equal to the sum of the principal amount of the Loans so assigned, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, its ratable share of all accrued and unpaid fees thereon, any amounts payable under Section 8.4 as a result of such Lender receiving payment of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of an Interest Period therefor and all other obligations then owed to such Affected Lender hereunder). Each party hereto agrees that (1) an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment Agreement executed by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the assignee (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment Agreement by reference pursuant to a platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants), (2) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to and be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender, provided that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto and (3) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender that has become the subject of a Bail-In Action, the assignee shall be deemed to have taken assignment of all the interests, rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement without giving effect to the applicable Bail-In Action on such interests, rights and obligations.

In addition to the foregoing, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if (A) (i) a Lender (or its Participant) demands any payment pursuant to Section 8.1(a) and/or Section 8.1(b) and (ii) the payment so demanded is disproportionately greater than the amount of compensation (if any) that the Company is generally obligated to pay to other Lenders (and their Participants) arising out of the same event or circumstance giving rise to such demand (a “Trigger Event”) or (B) a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Company may terminate such Lender’s Commitments hereunder, provided that (w) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such Commitment termination, (x) in the case of clause (A), the Company concurrently terminates the Commitments of each other Lender that has made a demand for payment under Section 8.1(a) and/or 8.1(b) that arises out of such Trigger Event and that is similarly disproportionate to the amount the Company is generally obligated to pay to other Lenders arising out of such Trigger Event (together with such Lender, each a “Demanding Lender”), (y) the Administrative Agent shall have consented to all such Commitment termination(s) (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, but may include consideration of the adequacy of the Company's liquidity) and (z) each Demanding Lender or Defaulting Lender, as applicable, has been paid all amounts then due to it under this Agreement and each other Loan Document (which, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company may pay in connection with any such termination without making ratable payments to any other Lender (other than, in the case of a Demanding Lender, another Demanding Lender)). In no event shall the termination of a Demanding Lender’s Commitments in accordance with this paragraph impair or otherwise affect the obligation of the Company to make the payments demanded by such Demanding Lender in accordance with Section 8.1(a) and/or Section 8.1(b).

(c)            The Administrative Agent agrees to promptly notify the Company upon any Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender (but the Administrative Agent shall have no liability for any failure to give, or any delay in giving, any such notice).

8.8            Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival of Provisions. Determinations and statements of any Lender pursuant to Section 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4 shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. Lenders may use reasonable averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation under Sections 8.1 and 8.4, and the provisions of such Sections shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes and any termination of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.2, none of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries will be required to disclose, permit the inspection, examination or making copies or abstracts of, or discussion of, any

document, information or other matter (i) that constitutes non-financial trade secrets or non-financial proprietary information, (ii) in respect of which disclosure to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or their respective representatives or contractors) is prohibited by any applicable legal requirement or any binding agreement or (iii) is subject to attorney-client or similar privilege or constitutes attorney work product.

SECTION 14.    GENERAL.

14.1       Waiver; Amendments. No delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Subject to Section 8.2(b), (c) and (d), no amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or the Notes shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Company and the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Required Lenders), and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall (i) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender (provided that an amendment, modification, waiver or consent with respect to any condition precedent, covenant, mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 6.2.4, Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default shall not constitute an increase in the Commitment of any Lender), (ii) extend any scheduled date for payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fees payable hereunder (provided that an amendment, modification, waiver or consent with respect to (x) mandatory prepayments pursuant to Section 6.2.4 or (y) the Default Rate shall not constitute an extension of the scheduled date for payment of principal or interest), or (iii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan, the rate of interest thereon or any fees payable hereunder (provided that an amendment, modification, waiver or consent with respect to (x) the Default Rate or (y) Section 10.6, the definition of the “Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio” and/or the related definitions shall not constitute a reduction in interest or fees payable hereunder), without, in each case, the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; and no amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall (w) [reserved], (x) release all or substantially all of the value (determined in a manner consistent with the assets and revenues tests contained in the first sentence of Section 10.16) of the Subsidiary Guaranty (other than pursuant to Section 10.16), (y) change any provision of this Section or the definition of Required Lenders or reduce the aggregate percentage required to effect an amendment, modification, waiver or consent or (z) change any provision of Section 7.6, without, in each case, the consent of all Lenders. No provisions of Section 13 or other provision of this Agreement affecting the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, modification, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (x) the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms directly affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely (other than as a result of the relative size of its Commitment) than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, as to any amendment, amendment and restatement or other modifications otherwise approved in accordance with this Section 14.1, it shall not be necessary to obtain the consent or approval of any Lender that, upon giving effect to such amendment, amendment and restatement or other modification, would have no Commitments or outstanding Loans so long as such Lender receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by, and all other amounts owing to, such Lender or accrued for the account of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents at the time such amendment, amendment and restatement or other modification becomes effective.

If any Lender does not consent to a proposed amendment, modification, waiver or consent with respect to any Loan Document that requires the consent of each affected Lender or each Lender and that has been approved by the Required Lenders, the Company may replace such non-consenting Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) in accordance with Section 8.7(b); provided that such amendment,

modification, waiver or consent can be effected as a result of the assignment contemplated by such Section (together with all other such assignments required by the Company to be made pursuant to this paragraph).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Company may amend any Loan Document without the further consent of any other party to such Loan Document to correct any errors, mistakes, omissions, defects or inconsistencies, or to effect administrative changes that are not adverse to any Lender, in each case so long as the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment.

14.2         Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of (x) this Agreement, (y) any other Loan Document and/or (z) any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any notice delivered pursuant to Section 14.3), certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or the transactions contemplated hereby and/or thereby (each an “Ancillary Document”) that is an Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement, such other Loan Document or such Ancillary Document, as applicable. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in any electronic form (including deliveries by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page), each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent and pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the Company or any other Loan Party without further verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any such Electronic signature and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, each of the Lenders, the Company and each Loan Party hereby (i) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Company and the Loan Parties, Electronic Signatures transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page and/or any electronic images of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, (ii) the Administrative Agent,each of the Lenders, the Company and the Loan Parties may, at their option, create one or more copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document in the form of an imaged electronic record in any format, which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document (and all such electronic records shall be considered an original for all purposes and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record), (iii) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this

Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document and/or such Ancillary Document, respectively, including with respect to any signature pages thereto and (iv) waives any claim against any Lender-Related Person or the Loan Parties and their Related Parties, respectively, for any Liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender’s and/or any Loan Party’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures and/or transmissions by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page, including any Liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Company and/or any Loan Party to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.

Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.2 and 2.3, all notices hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission) and shall be sent to the applicable party (and to the extent sent to the Company shall include a copy sent to Paremt) at its address shown on Schedule 14.3 (or, in the case of a Lender other than JPMorgan, in such Lender’s Administrative Questionnaire) or at such other address as such party may, by written notice received by the other parties, have designated as its address for such purpose.

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

The Administrative Agent or the Company may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

14.4         Regulation U. Each Lender represents that it in good faith is not relying, either directly or indirectly, upon any Margin Stock as collateral security for the extension or maintenance by it of any credit provided for in this Agreement.

14.5         Costs, Expenses and Taxes. The Company agrees to pay on demand all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers (including the reasonable and documented fees and charges of counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers and of local counsel, if any, who may be retained by such counsel) in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all other documents provided for herein or delivered or to be delivered

14.8         Assignments; Participations.

14.8.1         Assignments. Any Lender may, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company (which consents shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld and (x) shall be deemed given unless the Company has objected within 10 days of receipt of notice thereof and (y) shall not be required for an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that notice to the Company, either prior to or immediately after such assignment, shall be required), at any time assign and delegate to one or more commercial banks or other Persons (any Person to whom such an assignment and delegation is to be made being herein called an “Assignee”), all or any fraction of such Lender’s Loans and Commitment (which assignment and delegation shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Lender’s Loans and Commitment) in a minimum aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of the assigning Lender’s remaining Commitment and (ii) $5,000,000; provided that (a) no assignment and delegation may be made to any Person if, at the time of such assignment and delegation, the Company would be obligated to pay any greater amount under Section 7.7 or Section 8 to the Assignee than the Company is then obligated to pay to the assigning Lender under such Sections (and if any assignment is made in violation of the foregoing, the Company will not be required to pay the incremental amounts) and (b) the Company and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned and delegated to an Assignee until the date when all of the following conditions shall have been met:

(x)    five Business Days (or such lesser period of time as the Administrative Agent and the assigning Lender shall agree) shall have passed after written notice of such assignment and

delegation, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to such Assignee, shall have been given to the Company and the Administrative Agent by such assigning Lender and the Assignee,

(y)    the assigning Lender and the Assignee shall have executed and delivered to the Company and the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D (an “Assignment Agreement”), together with any documents required to be delivered hereunder, which Assignment Agreement shall have been accepted by the Administrative Agent, and

(z)    the assigning Lender or the Assignee shall have paid the Administrative Agent a processing fee of $3,500.

From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met, (x) such Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated to such Assignee pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder, and (y) the assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its obligations hereunder; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any attempted assignment and delegation not made in accordance with this Section 14.8.1 shall be null and void.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.8.1 or any other provision of this Agreement, (a) no assignment shall be made to (i) the Company or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof, (ii) any Defaulting Lender or any Subsidiary thereof, or any Person which, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (ii), (iii) a natural Person or a (iv) Disqualified Institution and (b) any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its Loans and its Note to a Federal Reserve Bank (but no such assignment shall release any Lender from any of its obligations hereunder).

In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by such Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) [reserved]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Company and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a

Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

14.8.2         Participations. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other Persons (other than (i) the Company or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof, (ii) any Defaulting Lender or any Subsidiary thereof, or any Person which, if it became a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (ii) or (iii) a natural Person) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, the Note held by such Lender or the Commitment of such Lender (any Person purchasing any such participating interest being herein called a “Participant”). In the event of a sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, (x) such Lender shall remain the holder of its Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (y) the Company and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder and (z) all amounts payable by the Company shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Lender. No Participant shall have any direct or indirect voting rights hereunder except with respect to any of the events described in the third sentence of Section 14.1. Each Lender agrees to incorporate the requirements of the preceding sentence into each participation agreement which such Lender enters into with any Participant. The Company agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Notes are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement or such Note; provided that such right of setoff shall be subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with the Lenders, and the Lenders agree to share with each Participant, as provided in Section 7.6. The Company also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.7 and Section 8 as if it were a Lender (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 7.7(e)); provided that no Participant shall receive any greater compensation pursuant to Section 7.7 or Section 8 than would have been paid to the participating Lender if no participation had been sold).

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

14.8.3        Disqualified Institutions.

(a)          No assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign or grant a participation in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Company has consented to such assignment or participation in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment or participation). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Assignee or Participant that becomes a Disqualified

Institution after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Institution”), (x) such Assignee or Participant shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender or Participant with respect to any assignment or participation previously acquired and (y) the execution by the Company of an Assignment Agreement with respect to such Assignee will not by itself result in such Assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Institution. Any assignment or participation in violation of this Section 14.8.3 shall not be void, but the other provisions of this Section 14.8.3 shall apply.

(b)          If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without the Company’s prior written consent in violation of clause (i) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent, require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 14.8), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Persons in accordance with Section 14.8.1 at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.

(c)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions to whom an assignment or participation is made in violation of clause (a) above (A) will not have the right to (x) receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Company, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender (including, without limitation, any of the foregoing provided or made available pursuant to Section 10.2), (y) attend or participate in meetings (including telephonic meetings) attended by the Lenders (or any of them) and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter.

(d)          The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Company hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent to, (A) post the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by the Company and any updates thereto from time to time to the Lenders in accordance with Section 14.3 and/or (B) provide such list to any potential Lender that is subject to a customary confidentiality undertaking in favor of the Company. The Administrative Agent shall promptly post the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by the Company and any updates thereto from time to time to the Lenders (provided that the Company has provided the same to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the definition of “Disqualified Institution”) in accordance with Section 14.3.

(e)          The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, by any other Person to any Disqualified Institution.

14.9         Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Company is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender

exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or otherwise, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the NYFRB Rate from time to time in effect.

14.10       Governing Law; Severability. This Agreement and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that (a) the interpretation of the definition “Spinco Material Adverse Effect” (as defined in the Company Merger Agreement) (and whether or not a Spinco Material Adverse Effect has occurred), (b) the determination of the accuracy of any Company Merger Agreement Representation and whether as a result of any inaccuracy thereof Parent or its applicable Affiliate has the right to terminate Parent’s (or its) obligations under the Company Merger Agreement or to decline to consummate the Company Acquisition and (c) the determination of whether the merger has been consummated in accordance with the terms of the Company Merger Agreement and, in any case, claims or disputes arising out of any such interpretation or determination or any aspect thereof, in each case, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of Delaware.

Whenever possible each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

14.11       Indemnification by Parent. (a) In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the agreement to extend the Commitments provided hereunder, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify, exonerate and hold the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers, each Lender and each of their respective Related Parties (each a “Lender Party”) free and harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and charges of one counsel for the Administrative Agent and one counsel for all other Lender Parties (except in each case to the extent that separate counsel would be required as the result of any conflict of interest) and settlement costs (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by the Lender Parties or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) any tender offer, merger, purchase of stock, purchase of assets or other similar transaction financed or proposed to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of any of the Loans, (ii) any Commitment or Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) the actual or alleged use, handling, release, emission, discharge, transportation, storage, treatment, disposal, or presence of any Hazardous Substance by Parent or any Subsidiary or their respective predecessors, (iv) any Environmental Claim with respect

If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. Nothing set forth above shall be construed to relieve any Lender Party from any obligation it may have under this Agreement. All amounts due under this Section 14.11 shall be payable within ten Business Days after demand therefor (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement from the applicable Lender Party setting forth such amounts in reasonable detail). All obligations provided for in this Section 14.11 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes and any termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 14.11 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(b)          To the extent permitted by applicable law (i) the Company and any Loan Party shall not assert, and the Company and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against the Administrative Agent, any Lead Arranger, and any Lender, and any Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called a “Lender-Related Person”) for any Liabilities arising from the use by others of information or other materials (including, without limitation, any personal data) obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), other than Liabilities resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, any Lead Arranger, any Lender, or any Lender-Related Person, and (ii) no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any Liabilities against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this Section 14.11(b) shall relieve the Company and each Loan Party of any obligation it may have to indemnify an indemnitee, as provided in Section 14.11(a), against any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.

14.12                      Forum Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction.

Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c)          Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 14.3. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

14.13        Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY NOTE, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY BANKING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE FOREGOING (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY), AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.

14.14         Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all information provided to it by or on behalf of Parent or any Subsidiary, or by the Administrative Agent on Parent’s or such Subsidiary’s behalf, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall use any such information other than in connection with or in enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with other business now or hereafter existing or contemplated with Parent or any Subsidiary; except to the extent such information (i) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Lender or its Affiliates, or (ii) was or becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Parent or a Subsidiary, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Company known to the Lender; provided that any Lender may disclose such information (A) at the request or pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Authority to which the Lender is subject or in connection with an examination of such Lender by any such authority; (B) pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (C) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable law; (D) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation or proceeding involving the Company to which the Administrative Agent, any Lender or their respective Affiliates may be party; (E) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (F) to such Lender’s

independent auditors, trustees and other professional advisors; (G) to any Participant or Assignee, actual or potential, or to any direct, indirect, actual or prospective counterparty to any swap, derivative or securitization transaction related to the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, provided that, in each case, such Person agrees in writing to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Lenders hereunder; (H) as to any Lender or its Affiliate, as expressly permitted under the terms of any other document or agreement regarding confidentiality to which Parent or any Subsidiary is party with such Lender or such Affiliate; (I) to its Affiliates, provided that such Affiliate is advised of the confidentiality requirements set forth herein and agrees in writing (for the benefit of the Company) to keep such information confidential to the same extent required hereunder (it being understood that each Lender shall be liable for the breach by any of its Affiliates of any such confidentiality requirement); (J) to market data collectors and service providers providing services in connection with the syndication or administration of the Commitments; (K) if the Company consents to such disclosure in writing and (L) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender. Each Lender will, so long as not prohibited from doing so by any applicable law, notify the Company of any request for information of the type referred to in clause (B) or (C) above prior to disclosing such information so that the Company may seek appropriate relief from any applicable court or other Governmental Authority (but failure to so notify the Company shall not result in any liability to such Lender).

Each Lender acknowledges that information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may include material non-public information concerning the Company and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

All information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Company or the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information about the Company and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities. Accordingly, each Lender represents to the Company and the Administrative Agent that it has identified in its administrative questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

14.15            USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the USA PATRIOT Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Company that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Company , which information includes the name and address of the Company and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Company in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

14.16            No Fiduciary or Implied Duties. The Company acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that in acting as the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent will not have responsibility except as set forth in this Agreement and shall in no event be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties. The Company waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.

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

14.18         Most Favored Lender. If at any time (a)(i) Parent enters into any credit agreement, loan agreement, note purchase agreement or other like agreement under which Parent may incur Designated Debt in excess of $100,000,000, including the Note Purchase Agreements and the Senior Notes (a “Principal Lending Agreement”), and (ii) any such Principal Lending Agreement at any time includes a covenant that expressly limits either: (x) the sale, lease or disposition of assets by Parent and/or any Subsidiary during any period of 12 consecutive months to less than 15% of the book value of consolidated tangible assets of Parent and its Subsidiaries, or (y) the incurrence of Designated Debt by any Foreign Subsidiary, in either case that is not contained in this Agreement, or if such covenant that is contained in the Principal Lending Agreement is more favorable to such creditors of Parent than a similar covenant contained in this Agreement, (b) Parent issues an additional series of Senior Notes pursuant to any Supplement (as defined in the applicable Note Purchase Agreement) or amends any existing series of Senior Notes, in each case, that has an “additional covenant” (within the meaning of Section 2.2(iii) of the applicable Note Purchase Agreement), or (c) any Principal Lending Agreement in respect of the Parent Acquisition Debt or the Debt under the Parent Existing Credit Agreement includes any negative covenant or other restriction on the making of investments and/or payments in respect of the Parent’s Equity Interests and/or any representations and warranties and/or covenants with respect to securing the obligations of the Parent Acquisition Debt or Debt under the Parent Existing Credit Agreement, then, in each case, Parent shall give written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent not later than 10 days following the date of execution of such Principal Lending Agreement or amendment thereof or Supplement, as the case may be (each a “Subject Agreement”); provided that any such additional covenant or provision shall not impair, diminish or otherwise adversely modify any existing covenants or provisions contained herein. Effective on the date of execution of a Subject Agreement, such covenant(s) or provision(s) and related definitions that are contained in such Subject Agreement (collectively, the “Incorporated Covenants”) shall be deemed to have been incorporated herein and any event of default in respect of any such Incorporated Covenant shall be deemed to be an Event of Default hereunder, subject to all applicable terms and provisions of this Agreement, including the right of the Required Lenders to waive or not waive any breach thereof (independent of any right of any other creditor of Parent in respect of any such Incorporated Covenants). Without limiting the foregoing, any amendment, elimination or termination of any Incorporated Covenant in accordance with the terms of the applicable Subject

Agreement (including as a result of the termination of such Subject Agreement) shall constitute an immediate amendment, elimination or termination, as the case may be, of such Incorporated Covenant hereunder.

14.19       Effect of Amendment and Restatement of Existing Credit Agreement.

(a)            As of the Restatement Date, the terms and conditions of the Existing Credit Agreement are amended as set forth in, and are restated in their entirety and superseded by, this Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (a) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whether executed and delivered in connection herewith or otherwise, do not constitute, and nothing in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to be, a novation or termination of the Existing Obligations as in effect prior to the Restatement Date and which remain outstanding and (b) the Existing Obligations are in all respects continuing (as amended and restated hereby and which are hereinafter subject to the terms herein), and the incurrence of the obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be in substitution for, but not in payment of, the Existing Obligations owed by the Loan Parties under the Existing Credit Agreement and the Existing Loan Documents, in each case, other than as described in Section 14.19(b).

(b) To the extent an amended and restated Subsidiary Guaranty is entered into, it replaces the Subsidiary Guaranty in existence immediately prior thereto.

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

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

14.21       Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any

liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)            the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder that 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 Loan Document; or

(iii)

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

To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, rule or regulation, (i) each Lender shall notify the Company and the Administrative Agent if it has become the subject of a Bail-In Action (or any case or other proceeding in which a Bail-In Action could reasonably be expected to be asserted against such Lender) and (ii) the Company and each Loan Party shall notify the Administrative Agent and each Lender if the Company or such Loan Party has become the subject of a Bail-In Action (or any case or other proceeding in which a Bail-In Action could reasonably be expected to be asserted against the Company or such Loan Party).

SECTION 15.      PARENT GUARANTY.

15.1       The Guaranty. In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by the Company from the proceeds of the Loans, Parent hereby agrees with the Lenders as follows: Parent hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of the Obligations (other than any Excluded Swap Obligations) of the Company to the Guaranteed Creditors. If any or all of the Obligations of the Company to the Guaranteed Creditors becomes due and payable hereunder, Parent unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, on demand, together with any and all reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in collecting any of the Obligations. If claim is ever made upon any Guaranteed Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including the Company), then and in such event Parent agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon Parent, notwithstanding any revocation of the guaranty under this Section 15 or other instrument evidencing any liability of the Company, and

Parent shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.

15.2         Insolvency. Additionally, Parent unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of any and all of the Obligations of the Company to the Guaranteed Creditors whether or not due or payable by the Company upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 12.1.3, and unconditionally promises to pay the amount of such Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand, in lawful money of the United States.

15.3         Nature of Liability. The liability of Parent hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Obligations of the Company whether executed by Parent, any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of Parent hereunder is not affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by the Company or by any other party; or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Obligations of the Company; or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking; or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Company; or (e) any payment made to any Guaranteed Creditor on the Obligations which any such Guaranteed Creditor repays to the Company pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and Parent waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding.

15.4         Independent Obligation. The obligations of Parent hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other guarantor, any other party or the Company, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Parent whether or not action is brought against any other guarantor, any other party or the Company and whether or not any other guarantor, any other party or the Company is joined in any such action or actions. Parent waives, to the full extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by the Company or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to the Company shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to Parent’s obligations under this Section 15.

15.5         Authorization. Parent authorizes the Guaranteed Creditors without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:

(a)            change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and the guaranty of Parent herein made shall apply to the Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed or altered;

(b)            take and hold security for the payment of the Obligations and sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset against the Obligations or such liabilities;

(c)            exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(d)            release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, the Company or other obligors;

(e)            settle or compromise any of the Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of the Company to its creditors other than the Guaranteed Creditors;

(f)             apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of the Company to the Guaranteed Creditors regardless of what liability or liabilities of Parent or the Company remain unpaid;

(g)            consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or

(h)            take any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of the Parent from its liabilities under this Section 15;

it being understood that the foregoing shall not permit any action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender that is not otherwise permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

15.6         Reliance. It is not necessary for any Guaranteed Creditor to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Company or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

15.7         Subordination. Any of the indebtedness of the Company relating to the obligations now or hereafter owing to Parent is hereby subordinated to the Obligations of the Company owing to the Guaranteed Creditors, and if the Administrative Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such indebtedness relating to the obligations of the Company to Parent shall be collected, enforced and received by Parent for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Guaranteed Creditors on account of the Obligations of the Company to the Guaranteed Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of Parent under the other provisions of this Section 15. Prior to the transfer by Parent of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any of the indebtedness relating to the obligations of the Company to Parent, Parent shall ▇▇▇▇ such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of the guaranty under this Section 15 (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.

15.8         Waiver.

(a)            Parent waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require any Guaranteed Creditor to (i) proceed against the Company, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Company, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any Guaranteed Creditor’s power whatsoever. Parent waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Company, any other guarantor or any other party, other than payment in full of the Obligations, based on or arising out of the disability of the Company, any other guarantor or any other party, or the validity, legality or unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Company other than payment in full of the Obligations. The Guaranteed Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by

applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Guaranteed Creditors may have against the Company or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Parent hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been paid. Parent waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of Parent against the Company or any other party or any security.

(b)            Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Parent waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of the guaranty hereunder, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Obligations. Parent assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Company’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which Parent assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no duty to advise Parent of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

15.9         Nature of Liability. It is the desire and intent of Parent and the Guaranteed Creditors that this Section 15 shall be enforced against Parent to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If, however, and to the extent that, the obligations of Parent under this Section 15 shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers), then the amount of the Obligations shall be deemed to be reduced and Parent shall pay the maximum amount of the Obligations which would be permissible under applicable law.

15.10       Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and Collateral Documents. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to (a) enter into any Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and any applicable Collateral Documents, (b) bind the Lenders on the terms set forth in such Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and such Collateral Documents, (c) perform and observe its obligations under such Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and such Collateral Documents and (d) take any actions under such Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and such Collateral Documents as determined by the Administrative Agent to be necessary or advisable to protect the interests of the Lenders, and the Lenders agree to be bound by the terms of such Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and such Collateral Documents. Each Lender acknowledges that the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement governs, among other things, Lien priorities and rights of the Lenders with respect to collateral. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement or any Loan Document with the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed and delivered this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
