Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Revolving Loans may be obtained, repaid and re-borrowed; provided, however, that no Lender shall have any obligation to honor any request for a Revolving Loan if doing so would cause (i) such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Revolving Obligations to exceed such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Revolving Commitment or (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Obligations to exceed the Loan Limit.

(b) Revolving Notes.

(c) Termination and Voluntary Reductions of Revolving Commitments. The Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Commitment Termination Date. Borrowers may terminate or from time to time reduce the Revolving Commitments by giving not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent. Any request from Borrowers for the reduction of the Revolving Commitments must specify the amount of the requested reduction. Each reduction shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or any greater integral increment of $1,000,000. Borrowers may not reduce the Revolving Commitments to an amount less than $45,000,000, except in connection with the termination of all of the Revolving Commitments. If the Revolving Commitments are ever terminated by Borrowers, Borrowers must Pay in Full upon such termination becoming effective the Revolving Loans and all other Obligations then outstanding. All reductions of the Revolving Commitments shall be applied on a Pro Rata basis.

In no event shall Administrative Agent be required to honor any request for a Revolving Loan when the Aggregate Revolving Obligations exceed the Revolving Commitments or if, after giving effect to the making of such Revolving Loan, the Aggregate Revolving Obligations would exceed the Revolving Commitments.

64

(ii) Subject to clause (iii) below, any Over Advance shall (A) be immediately due and payable ON DEMAND and, once paid to Administrative Agent, shall be applied, first, to the payment of any Swing Line Loans; second, to the payment of all other Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans; third to the payment of any Revolving Loans that are Term SOFR Rate Loans; and, fourth, to Cash Collateralize any LC Obligations then outstanding; (B) constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral; and (C) be entitled to all benefits of the Loan Documents.

Each Lender’s obligations under this Section 2.1(d) are absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable and are not subject to any claim, counterclaim, right of setoff, charge back, discount, defense, qualification, or exception, and each Lender shall perform such obligations, as applicable, regardless of whether the Commitments have terminated, an Over Advance exists or any condition precedent to the making of Loans has not been satisfied.

(v) All Over Advance Loans shall be made as Base Rate Revolving Loans.

(vi) The provisions of this Section 2.1(d) are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders, and in no event shall any Borrower or any other Credit Party be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of this Section 2.1(d) or be authorized or permitted to, or have any standing to, rely on or enforce any of the provisions of this Section 2.1(d).

(e) Protective Advances.

Administrative Agent may make a Protective Advance without regard to Excess Availability or the satisfaction of any condition precedent to the making of Loans, unless (A) the Required Lenders have, by written notice to Administrative Agent, revoked Administrative Agent’s authority to do so or (B) Administrative Agent has actual knowledge that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans made as Protective Advances (i) would exceed $7,500,000 or (ii) would cause either the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Obligations outstanding to exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments

65

at such time or any individual ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Revolving Credit Exposure to exceed such individual ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Revolving Commitment at such time. If the terms of the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) above are not applicable, Administrative Agent’s determination that funding of a Protective Advance is appropriate shall be conclusive. Each Lender shall participate on a Pro Rata basis in each Protective Advance so long as by doing so such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Revolving Credit Exposure would not exceed such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Revolving Commitment at such time. The provisions of this Section 2.1(e) are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders, and in no event shall any Borrower or any other Credit Party be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of this Section 2.1(e) or be authorized or permitted to, or have any standing to, rely on or enforce any of the provisions of this Section 2.1(e).

(H) each Increasing Lender shall confirm its agreement to increase its Revolving Commitment pursuant to an acknowledgement in a form acceptable to Administrative Agent, signed by it and each Borrower and delivered to Administrative Agent at least five (5) days before the effective date of such increase; and

66

(I) Borrowers shall deliver to Administrative Agent on or before the effective date of such Revolving Commitment Increase the following documents in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent: (w) certifications of their corporate secretaries with attached resolutions certifying that the increase in the Revolving Commitment has been approved by such Borrowers, (x) certificate dated as of the effective date of such increase certifying that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and certifying that the requirements of in this Section 2.1(f) have been met and that the representations and warranties made by each Borrower herein and in the other Loan Documents are true and complete in all respects with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent any such representation or warranty expressly relates only to any earlier and/or specified date), (y) such other agreements, instruments and information (including supplements or modifications to this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents executed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ as Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary in order to document the increase to the Revolving Commitments and to protect, preserve and continue the perfection and priority of the liens, security interests, rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in light of such increase, and (z) an opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent which shall cover such matters related to such increase as Administrative Agent may reasonably require and each Borrower hereby authorizes and directs such counsel to deliver such opinions to Administrative Agent and Lenders.

(ii) After any Revolving Commitment Increase, all of the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents shall apply to the increased amount of the Revolving Commitments (including (A) being on a pari passu basis in terms of the Collateral, right of payment and Guarantees with the other Revolving Loans, (B) having the same maturity date as the other Revolving Commitments, and (C) having the same Applicable Margin as the other Revolving Loans); provided that Borrowers agree to pay to Administrative Agent and the Lenders increasing their respective Revolving Commitments, commitment and other fees and expenses to be agreed between Borrowers, such Lenders and Administrative Agent in connection with such Revolving Commitment Increase.

(iii) Each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that the aggregate Revolving Commitments may be increased pursuant to this Section 2.1(f) with respect to each other Lender regardless whether such Lender approves such increase or increases its Revolving Commitment hereunder, and Administrative Agent, Borrowers and any Lender increasing or providing a new Revolving Commitment may enter into an amendment to this Agreement to give effect to such Revolving Commitment Increase and matters incidental thereto without further consent of any other Lender. Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any Borrower or any other Credit Party or to Lenders in connection with any syndication of any Revolving Commitment Increase. Borrowers shall prepay any Revolving Loans on the date of any such increase in the Revolving Commitments to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Loans ratable with any revised Revolving Commitments arising from any non-ratable increase in the Revolving Commitments under this Section 2.1(f).

2.2 [Reserved].

2.3 Swing Line Loans; Settlement.

(a) Swing Line Loans. During the Revolving Commitment Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender may, in its discretion, make Swing Line Loans to Borrowers in an aggregate amount outstanding at any time up to but not exceeding the Swing Line Sublimit; provided, that after giving effect to the making of any Swing Line Loan and any participation that may result therefrom pursuant to the operation and effect of Section 2.3(b)(iv), in no event shall (i) the Aggregate Revolving Obligations exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and (ii) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender exceed such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s

67

Revolving Commitment. Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.3 may be repaid and re-borrowed during the Revolving Commitment Period. The Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Commitment shall expire on the Commitment Termination Date and all Swing Line Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Swing Line Loans then outstanding and the Revolving Commitments shall have been Paid in Full no later than such date. Each Swing Line Loan shall constitute a Revolving Loan for all purposes, except that payments thereon shall be made solely to Swing Line Lender for its own account. The obligation of Borrowers to repay Swing Line Loans shall be evidenced by the records of Swing Line Lender, provided that, promptly upon Swing Line Lender’s request (but, in any event, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such request), Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Swing Line Lender a Swing Line Note to evidence the Debts arising under the Swing Line Loans.

(b) Borrowing Mechanics for Swing Line Loans.

(i) Subject to clause (vi) below, whenever Borrowers desire that the Swing Line Lender make a Swing Line Loan, Borrower Representative shall deliver to Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing no later than 11:00 a.m. on the proposed Borrowing date.

(ii) The Swing Line Lender, if it elects to do so, as provided in Section 2.3(a), and subject to the limitations set forth in clause (v) below, shall make the amount of the requested Swing Line Loan (or so much thereof as it elects to make, or is permitted to make, pursuant hereto) available to Administrative Agent not later than 3:00 p.m. on the applicable funding date by wire transfer of same day funds in Dollars, at Administrative Agent’s Principal Office. Except as provided herein, upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein relative thereto, Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swing Line Loans available to Borrowers on the applicable funding date by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Swing Line Loans received by Administrative Agent from the Swing Line Lender to be credited to the account of Borrowers at Administrative Agent’s Principal Office, or to such other account as may be designated in writing to Administrative Agent by Borrower Representative.

(iii) With respect to any Swing Line Loans that have not been voluntarily prepaid by Borrowers pursuant to Section 5.2, the Swing Line Lender may at any time in its discretion, but in any event not less frequently than weekly, on such weekly settlement date as Swing Line Lender may elect from time to time, deliver to Administrative Agent (with a copy to Borrower Representative), no later than 11:00 a.m. on the day of the proposed funding date, a notice (that shall be deemed to be a Notice of Borrowing given by Borrower Representative) requesting that each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment make a Revolving Loan to Borrowers on such date in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount of such Swing Line Loans outstanding on the date that such notice is given that Swing Line Lender requests Lenders to prepay (the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”). Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (1) the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by the Lenders other than the Swing Line Lender shall be immediately delivered by Administrative Agent to the Swing Line Lender (and not to Borrowers) and when received shall be applied by the Swing Line Lender to repay a corresponding portion of the Refunded Swing Line Loans and (2) on the day such Revolving Loans are made, the Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Refunded Swing Line Loans shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan made by the Swing Line Lender to Borrowers, and such portion of the Swing Line Loans deemed

68

to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans but shall instead constitute part of Swing Line Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans to Borrowers. Borrowers hereby authorize Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender to charge Borrowers’ Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts with Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender (up to the amount available in each such Deposit Account and Securities Account) in order to immediately pay Swing Line Lender the amount of the Refunded Swing Line Loans to the extent the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by the Lenders, including the Revolving Loans deemed to be made by the Swing Line Lender, are insufficient to repay in full the Refunded Swing Line Loans. If any portion of any such amount paid (or deemed to be paid) to the Swing Line Lender should be recovered by or on behalf of Borrowers from the Swing Line Lender in bankruptcy, by assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be shared among all Lenders based on their respective pro Rata Shares thereof in the manner contemplated by Section 5.6.

(iv) If for any reason Revolving Loans are not made pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(iii) in an amount sufficient to repay any amounts owed to the Swing Line Lender in respect of any outstanding Swing Line Loans on or before the third Business Day after demand for payment thereof by the Swing Line Lender, then, each Lender then holding a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have purchased a participation in such outstanding Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the applicable unpaid amount of the Swing Line Loans then outstanding together with accrued interest thereon; provided that any such participation purchased by such Lender shall be limited to an amount that would not cause the Revolving Credit Exposure of such Lender (after giving effect to such participation) to exceed such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Revolving Commitment. On the Business Day that notice is provided by the Swing Line Lender (or by the 11:00 a.m. on the following Business Day if such notice is provided after 2:00 p.m.), each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall deliver to the Swing Line Lender an amount equal to its respective participation in the applicable unpaid amount in same day funds at the Principal Office of the Swing Line Lender. In order to evidence such participation each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment agrees to enter into a participation agreement at the request of the Swing Line Lender in form and substance satisfactory to the Swing Line Lender. In the event any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment fails to make available to the Swing Line Lender the amount of such Lender’s participation as provided in this clause (iv), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount ON DEMAND from such Lender together with interest thereon for three (3) Business Days at the Federal Funds Rate and thereafter at the interest rate then applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans until such defaulted sum is Paid in Full.

(v) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (1) each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans for the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swing Line Loans pursuant to clause (iii) above and each Lender’s obligation to purchase a participation in any unpaid Swing Line Loans pursuant to clause (iv) above shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, any Credit Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default; (C) any adverse change in the business, operations, Properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Credit Party; (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party thereto; or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that such obligations

69

of each Lender are subject to the condition that the Swing Line Lender had not received prior notice from Borrower Representative or the Required Lenders that any of the conditions under Section 6.2 to the making of the applicable Refunded Swing Line Loans or other unpaid Swing Line Loans were not satisfied at the time such Refunded Swing Line Loans or other unpaid Swing Line Loans were made; and (2) without limitation of the Swing Line Lender’s discretion in regard thereto, as described in Section 2.3(a), the Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loans (A) if it has elected not to do so after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or Event of Default, (B) it does not in Good Faith believe that all conditions under Section 6.2 to the making of such Swing Line Loan have been satisfied or waived by the Required Lenders or (C) at a time when a Defaulting Lender exists, unless the Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and Borrower Representative to eliminate the Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swing Line Loan, including by Cash Collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Swing Line Loans in a manner satisfactory to the Swing Line Lender and Administrative Agent.

(vi) In order to facilitate the borrowing of Swing Line Loans, Borrower Representative and the Swing Line Lender may mutually agree to, and are hereby authorized to, enter into an auto borrow agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Swing Line Lender and Administrative Agent (the “Auto Borrow Agreement”) providing for the automatic advance by the Swing Line Lender of Swing Line Loans under the conditions set forth in the Auto Borrow Agreement, subject to the conditions set forth herein. At any time an Auto Borrow Agreement is in effect, advances under the Auto Borrow Agreement shall be deemed Swing Line Loans for all purposes hereof, except that Borrowings of Swing Line Loans under the Auto Borrow Agreement shall be made in accordance with the Auto Borrow Agreement. For purposes of determining the Aggregate Revolving Obligations at any time during which an Auto Borrow Agreement is in effect, the outstanding amount of all Swing Line Loans shall be deemed to be the sum of the outstanding amount of Swing Line Loans at such time plus the maximum amount available to be borrowed under such Auto Borrow Agreement at such time.

2.4 Letter of Credit Facility.

(a) Issuance of Letters of Credit. LC Issuer agrees to issue Letters of Credit from time to time for any Borrower’s (or any Subsidiary of any Borrower’s) account on the terms set forth in this Agreement, including the following:

(i) LC Issuer shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit unless each of the LC Conditions has been satisfied (as determined by LC Issuer and Administrative Agent).

(ii) If LC Issuer receives written notice from Administrative Agent or a Lender at least five (5) Business Days before issuance of a Letter of Credit that any LC Condition has not been satisfied, LC Issuer shall have no obligation to issue the requested Letter of Credit (or any other Letter of Credit) until such notice is withdrawn in writing by Administrative Agent or such Lender or until the Required Lenders have waived the applicable LC Condition in accordance with this Agreement. Before receipt of any such notice, LC Issuer shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any failure to satisfy any LC Condition.

70

(iii) Borrowers may request and employ Letters of Credit only (A) to support obligations of any Borrower or Subsidiary incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business or (B) for such other purposes, if and to the extent not in contravention of any terms hereof or of any Loan Document, as Administrative Agent and LC Issuer may approve from time to time in writing; provided, however, that LC Issuer shall have no obligation hereunder to issue, and shall not issue, any Letter of Credit (i) the proceeds from which would be made available to fund any operations in, finance any investments or activities in, or make any payments to, a Sanctioned Person or Sanctioned Country, or in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions by any party to this Agreement or such Letter of Credit, (ii) if any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority shall by its terms purport to restrain or enjoin the LC Issuer from issuing letters of credit generally or any such Letter of Credit particularly, or any Applicable Law relating to LC Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over LC Issuer shall prohibit, or request that LC Issuer refrain from the issuance of letters of credit generally or any such Letter of Credit particularly or shall impose on LC Issuer with respect to any such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which LC Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date or shall impose on LC Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on the Closing Date that LC Issuer deems material to it, including, in each case, but without limitation, from any Change in Law, or (iii) if the issuance of any such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of LC Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally or any such Letter of Credit particularly. The renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit shall be treated as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit, except that the applicable Borrower or Borrowers need not deliver a new LC Application unless requested to do so by LC Issuer. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary of a Borrower, a single Borrower, all Borrowers shall be obligated to reimburse LC Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. Borrowers hereby acknowledge that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any Subsidiaries of Borrowers shall inure to the benefit of Borrowers, and that Borrowers’ business will derive substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

(iv) In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any Letters of Credit or LC Documents, LC Issuer shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any certification, documentation, or communication in whatever form believed by LC Issuer, in Good Faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by a proper Person. LC Issuer may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants, and other experts including Administrative Agent Professionals (at Borrowers’ expense) to advise it concerning its obligations, rights, and remedies with respect to the issuance and administration of Letters of Credit and LC Documents and shall be entitled to act (or refuse to act) upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken (or refused to be taken) in Good Faith reliance upon, any advice given by such Persons. LC Issuer may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to Letters of Credit or LC Documents and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of agents and attorneys-in-fact selected by it in Good Faith (including, without limitation, with respect to any act or inaction arising from LC Issuer’s negligence or strict liability).

71

(v) Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time (after giving effect to any permanent reduction in the stated amount of such Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit); provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any LC Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

(vi) Unless otherwise expressly set forth in any LC Document or otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the LC Issuer and Borrowers when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(vii) In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any LC Document, the terms of this Agreement shall control, unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent and LC Issuer.

(viii) Without limitation of the foregoing provisions, in the event that any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender, the LC Issuer shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit unless LC Issuer has entered into arrangements satisfactory to LC Issuer (in its discretion) with Borrowers or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate such LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender), including by Cash Collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding amount of the LC Obligations in a manner satisfactory to LC Issuer and Administrative Agent.

(b) Reimbursement; Participations.

(i) On the date that LC Issuer honors any draw under a Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Reimbursement Date”), Borrowers shall reimburse LC Issuer on such date the amount paid by LC Issuer on account of such draw, together with interest from the Reimbursement Date until paid by Borrowers (at the interest rate prescribed therefor in clause (v) below). The obligation of Borrowers to reimburse LC Issuer for any draw made under a Letter of Credit is absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable, and Borrowers shall make such reimbursement without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit or the existence of any claim, counterclaim, right of setoff, charge back, discount, defense, qualification, exception or other right Borrowers may have at any time against the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit. On each Reimbursement Date, to facilitate their foregoing reimbursement obligations, Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Revolving Loans in an amount necessary to pay the amounts due to LC Issuer on such date (regardless of whether Borrower Representative submits a Notice of Borrowing therefor), and each Lender shall fund its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing, without claim, counterclaim, right of setoff, charge back, discount, defense, qualification, or exception, and regardless of whether the Commitments have terminated, an Over Advance exists or any condition precedent to the making of Loans has not been satisfied.

72

(ii) Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from LC Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in all LC Obligations relating to such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Pro Rata Share thereof. If LC Issuer honors any draw under a Letter of Credit and Borrowers do not reimburse the amount thereof on the Reimbursement Date, Administrative Agent (at LC Issuer’s request) shall promptly notify Lenders, and each Lender shall promptly (within one Business Day) unconditionally pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of LC Issuer, such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Pro Rata Share of such draw at the Principal Office of Administrative Agent. Upon the failure of any Lender to make such payment when due pursuant hereto, LC Issuer shall be entitled to recover such amount ON DEMAND from such Lender together with interest thereon, computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360), for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues, for three (3) Business Days at the Federal Funds Rate and thereafter at the interest rate then applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans until such defaulted sum is Paid in Full. Upon request by a Lender that has made or is making any such payment, LC Issuer shall furnish such Lender with copies of any Letters of Credit and LC Documents in its possession at such time.

(iii) The obligations of each Lender to make payments to Administrative Agent for the account of LC Issuer in connection with LC Issuer’s honoring any draw under a Letter of Credit are absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable and are not subject to any claim, counterclaim, right of setoff, defense, discount, charge back, qualification, or exception, and such Lender shall perform such obligations, as applicable, (A) irrespective of any lack of validity or unenforceability of any Loan Documents; (B) regardless of whether the Commitments have been terminated, an Over Advance exists, any condition precedent to the making of any Loan has not been satisfied; (C) regardless of whether any draft, certificate, or other document presented under a Letter of Credit is determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; and (D) regardless of the existence of any setoff or defense that any Credit Party may have with respect to any Obligations. LC Issuer assumes no responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Borrower or other Person of any obligations under any LC Documents. LC Issuer makes no representation, warranty, or Guarantee, express or implied, with respect to the Collateral, LC Documents, or any Credit Party. LC Issuer is not responsible for (A) any recitals, statements, information, representations, or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness, or enforceability of, any LC Documents; (B) the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectibility, value, or sufficiency of any Collateral or the perfection of any Lien therein; or (C) the assets, liabilities, financial position, results of operations, business, creditworthiness, or legal status of any Credit Party.

(iv) No LC Issuer Indemnitee shall be liable to Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any LC Documents except as a result of its actual gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment binding on such LC Issuer Indemnitee.    LC Issuer shall have no liability to any Lender if LC Issuer refrains from taking any action, or refuses to take any action, under any Letter of Credit or LC Documents until it receives written instructions from the Required Lenders.

(v) Borrowers agree to pay to the LC Issuer, with respect to drawings honored under any Letter of Credit issued by such LC Issuer, interest on the amount paid by the LC Issuer in respect of each such honored drawing from the date such drawing is honored to, but excluding, the date such amount is reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrowers in accordance herewith at a rate that is the lesser of (i) the rate of interest payable hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans that are Term SOFR Rate Loans and (ii) the Highest Lawful Rate.

73

(vi) Interest payable pursuant to clause (v) above shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days, for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues, and shall be payable ON DEMAND or, if no demand is made, on the date on which the related drawing under a Letter of Credit is made by the LC Issuer. Promptly upon receipt by the LC Issuer of any payment of interest pursuant hereto, the LC Issuer shall distribute to each Lender, from the interest received by the LC Issuer in respect of the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date on which the LC Issuer is reimbursed for the amount of such drawing (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of any Revolving Loans), the amount that such Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the Letter of Credit fee that would have been payable in respect of such Letter of Credit for such period if no drawing had been honored under such Letter of Credit. In the event the LC Issuer shall have been reimbursed by the Lenders for all or any portion of such honored drawing, the LC Issuer shall distribute to each Lender that has paid all amounts payable by it with respect to such honored drawing such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Pro Rata Share of any interest received by the LC Issuer in respect of that portion of such honored drawing so reimbursed by the Lenders for the period from the date on which LC Issuer was so reimbursed by the Lenders to but excluding the date on which such portion of such honored drawing is reimbursed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.

(c) Cash Collateral. If any LC Obligations, whether or not then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding at any time (i) that an Event of Default exists; (ii) after the Commitment Termination Date; or (iii) within twenty (20) Business Days before the Stated Revolving Commitment Termination Date (unless Administrative Agent, in its discretion, agrees to any shorter period), then, Borrowers shall, at LC Issuer’s or Administrative Agent’s request, Cash Collateralize the stated amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and pay to LC Issuer the amount of all other LC Obligations that are then outstanding. If Borrowers fail to provide Cash Collateral as required herein, Lenders may (and, upon written request of Administrative Agent, shall) advance, as Revolving Loans, the amount of the Cash Collateral required (regardless of whether the Commitments have terminated, an Over Advance exists, or any condition precedent to the making of any Loan has not been satisfied). Without limitation of the foregoing, at any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of Administrative Agent or LC Issuer (with a copy to Administrative Agent) Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in an amount sufficient to cover the applicable Fronting Exposure after first giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 3

INTEREST, FEES, AND CHARGES

3.1 Interest.

(a) Interest Rates. The Obligations shall bear interest (i) with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; (ii) with respect to Revolving Loans that are Term SOFR Rate Loans, at the Term SOFR Rate for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin; (iii) with respect to Swing Line Loans, at the Swing Line Rate (unless and until converted to a Revolving Loan pursuant to the terms of Section 2.3); and (iv) with respect to any other Obligations that are then due and not paid when due

74

(including, to the extent permitted by law, interest not paid when due), at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Revolving Loans, unless and except to the extent that another interest rate is prescribed therefor in the Loan Documents evidencing such Obligations; provided, however, that the Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate (whether before or after any judgment) (A) automatically at all times during the existence of any Event of Default pursuant to Section 11.1(a), Section 11.1(k) or Section 11.1(l) hereof and (B) if so elected by Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders by written notice to Borrower Representative, from and after the occurrence of, and during the continuation of, any other Event of Default. In such latter regard, each Borrower acknowledges that the cost and expense to Administrative Agent and Lenders due to an Event of Default are difficult to ascertain and that the Default Rate is a fair and reasonable estimate to compensate Administrative Agent and Lenders because of such Event of Default and does not constitute a penalty.

(b) Accrual of Interest. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a Term SOFR Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Term SOFR Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a Term SOFR Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such Term SOFR Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one (1) day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

(c) Payment Dates. Interest accrued on the Loans shall be due and payable (i) in arrears, on each Interest Payment Date (but, with respect to Term SOFR Rate Loans having an Interest Period of six months, at the end of each three month period during such Interest Period), (ii) on any date of prepayment, with respect to the principal amount of Loans being prepaid, and (iii) at maturity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be due and payable ON DEMAND. Interest accrued on any other Obligations shall be due and payable as provided in the Loan Documents or, if no payment due date is provided therein, then, ON DEMAND.

(d) Interest Rate Determination and Disclosure. As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to each of the Term SOFR Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined (and for the applicable Interest Period in the case of Term SOFR Rate Loans) and shall promptly give notice thereof in writing to Borrower Representative and each Lender, in each case, to the extent that each requests same.

(e) Certain Provisions Regarding Term SOFR Rate Loans.

(i) Borrowers may, on any Business Day, subject to delivery of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation (which notice may be transmitted by electronic mail subject to the limitations set forth in Section 15.1(b) and the terms of Sections 3.1(g) and 3.1(h), elect to (A) convert all or any portion of any Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Rate Loans; (B) convert all or any portion of any Term SOFR Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans; or (C) at the end of its Interest Period continue any Term SOFR Rate Loan as a Term SOFR Rate Loan or convert any Term SOFR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan; provided, however, that Administrative Agent may impose further limits on the amounts of any partial conversions or continuations from time to time, and, provided, further, that, during any Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent may (and, at the direction of the Required Lenders, shall) declare that no Loan may be made as, converted into, or continued as, a Term SOFR Rate Loan, and that all Loans shall be made, converted or continued, instead, as a Base Rate Loan.    

75

(ii) Whenever Borrowers desire to convert any Loan to a Term SOFR Rate Loan or continue any Loan as a Term SOFR Rate Loan, Borrower Representative shall give Administrative Agent a Notice of Conversion/Continuation (which notice may be transmitted by electronic mail subject to the limitations set forth in Section 15.1(b)) no later than 11:00 a.m. at least three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the requested date of such conversion or continuation (unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent). Promptly after receiving any such notice, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Each Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable, and shall specify the amount of Loans to be converted or continued, the date of such conversion or continuation (which date shall be a Business Day), and the duration of the Interest Period (which, if not specified, shall be deemed to be one (1) month). If, upon the expiration of any Interest Period of any Term SOFR Rate Loan, Borrowers shall have failed to deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation or a request with respect to such Term SOFR Rate Loan, Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Term SOFR Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan.

(f) Interest Periods. In connection with the making, conversion, or continuation of any Term SOFR Rate Loan, Borrowers shall select an interest period (an “Interest Period”) therefor, which Interest Period shall be one (1), three (3) or six (6) months; provided, however, that:

(i) each Interest Period shall commence on the date the Loan is made or continued as, or converted into, a Term SOFR Rate Loan, and shall expire on the numerically corresponding day in the final calendar month;

(ii) if any Interest Period commences on a day for which there is no corresponding day in the final calendar month or if such corresponding day falls after the last Business Day of such month, then the Interest Period shall expire on the last Business Day of such month and, if any Interest Period would expire on a day that is not a Business Day, the Interest Period shall expire on the next Business Day; and

(iii) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Stated Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

(g) Number and Amount of Term SOFR Rate Loans; Determination of Rate. Other than on the Closing Date, each Borrowing of Term SOFR Rate Loans when made shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 or any greater integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. No more than five (5) Borrowings of Term SOFR Rate Loans may be outstanding at any time, and all Term SOFR Rate Loans having the same length and beginning date of their Interest Periods shall be aggregated together and considered one Borrowing for this purpose.

(h) Closing Date Loans. All Loans (other than Swing Line Loans) made on the Closing Date or within two (2) Business Days thereafter shall be made as Base Rate Loans, unless otherwise approved by Administrative Agent.

(i) Use of Term SOFR Rate. Notwithstanding any other term hereof to the contrary, so long as Administrative Agent is also the only Lender, all Loans (other than Loans made pursuant to Section 2.1(d) and Section 2.1(e)) made shall, as applicable, be made or continued as, or converted into, Term SOFR Rate Loans.

76

3.2 Fees.

(a) Upfront Fees. On the Closing Date, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, the Upfront Fees as set forth in the Fee Letter, all of which shall be due and payable in the amounts and at the times set forth therein.

(b) Commitment Fee. On the last day of each calendar quarter following the Closing Date and continuing on a quarterly basis thereafter until and including the Commitment Termination Date, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent and for the account of the Lenders, a commitment fee in an amount equal to (i) three-eighths of one percent (0.375%) per annum times (ii) the daily amount by which the Revolving Commitments exceeded the Aggregate Revolving Obligations (other than Swing Line Loans) on each such day during the immediately preceding calendar quarter; provided that (1) no commitment fee shall accrue on the Revolving Commitment of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender and (2) any commitment fee accrued with respect to the Revolving Commitment of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time that such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by Borrowers so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. For purposes hereof, Swing Line Loans shall not be counted toward or considered as usage of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments.

(c) Letter of Credit Fees. On the last day of each calendar quarter following the date that any Letter of Credit is issued (or renewed or extended), and continuing on a quarterly basis thereafter until its expiration date and thereafter ON DEMAND, so long as any Letter of Credit shall remain issued and outstanding or any LC Obligations exist thereunder, Borrowers shall pay, (i) to Administrative Agent, in arrears and for the account of the Lenders, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares thereof, a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”), in an amount equal to (A) a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin in effect for Revolving Loans made as Term SOFR Rate Loans plus, at all times when the Default Rate with respect to such Loans is in effect, two percent (2%) per annum, times (B) the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit if such maximum amount increases or decreases periodically pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit), provided (1) that no Letter of Credit Fee shall accrue in favor of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender and (2) except as otherwise provided in Section 4.2(a)(iii), any Letter of Credit Fee accrued in favor of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by Borrowers so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, and (ii) directly to each LC Issuer for its own account a fronting fee at the rate per annum specified in the Fee Letter or, as applicable, in any LC Document (but if no such rate is so specified, then, at the rate of twenty-five hundredths of one percent (0.25%) per annum) on the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit if such maximum amount increases or decreases periodically pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit), provided that LC Issuer may elect instead that such fronting fee be payable to it upon issuance of any such Letter of Credit. In addition, Borrowers shall pay directly to the LC Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the LC Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Except as otherwise may be provided in any LC Document such customary fees and standard costs and charges shall be due and payable ON DEMAND. All of the foregoing fees and charges shall be fully earned upon issuance of the Letter of Credit, or any amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, supplement, waiver, consent or other modification from time to time thereto as applicable, and none of such fees or charges shall be refundable, in whole or in part, regardless of any cancellation, termination, or drawing upon the Letter of Credit.

77

(d) Administrative Agent Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for its own account, the fees payable to Administrative Agent that are described in the Fee Letter, all of which shall be due and payable in the amounts and at the times set forth therein.

(e) Other Fees.    Borrowers shall pay to each applicable Person the fees payable to such Person that are described in the Fee Letter, all of which shall be due and payable in the amounts and at the times set forth therein.

(f) Calculation and Distribution of Interest Fees, Charges, and Other Amounts. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein or in any other Loan Document, interest, fees, charges and other amounts that are calculated on a per annum basis shall be calculated as follows: (i) for interest determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate, a year of three hundred sixty (360) days, and (ii) for all other such computations of interest, fees, charges and other amounts, likewise, a year of three hundred sixty (360) days, in each case, for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. Each determination by Administrative Agent of any interest, fees, charges or interest rate hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be final, conclusive, and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. All fees payable under this Section 3.2 are compensation for services and, to the extent of Applicable Law, are not, and shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance, or detention of money. A certificate as to amounts payable by Borrowers under Section 14 and Section 15.4, timely submitted to Borrower Representative by Administrative Agent or the affected Lender, as applicable, shall be final, conclusive, and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrowers shall pay such amounts to the applicable Person within ten (10) days following receipt of such certificate. All fees shall be fully earned when due and shall not be subject to rebate, refund, or proration, in whole or in part. All fees paid to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, LC Issuer, or any other Person shall be paid by Administrative Agent to such Persons promptly upon its receipt thereof and, with respect to fees payable for the account of the Lenders, in accordance with each such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof.

(g) Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged or agreed to be paid with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under Applicable Law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the aggregate outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest that would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are Paid in Full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest that would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest that would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the Lenders and each of the Credit Parties to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration that constitutes interest in excess of the Highest

78

Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the aggregate outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to each of the applicable Credit Parties. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest, throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, all agreements which either now are or which shall become agreements among Borrowers, Guarantors, Administrative Agent and Lenders are hereby limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the total liability for payments in the nature of interest, additional interest and other charges exceed the applicable limits imposed by any applicable usury laws. If any payments in the nature of interest, additional interest and other charges made under this Agreement or any other Loan Document are held to be in excess of the limits imposed by any applicable usury laws, it is agreed that any such amount held to be in excess shall be considered payment of principal hereunder, and the Debt evidenced hereby shall be reduced by such amount so that the total liability for payments in the nature of interest, additional interest and other charges shall not exceed the applicable limits imposed by any applicable usury laws, in compliance with the desires of Borrowers, Guarantors, Administrative Agent and Lenders. If the applicable state or federal law is amended in the future to allow a greater rate of interest to be charged under this Agreement than is presently allowed by applicable state or federal law, then the limitation of interest hereunder shall be increased to the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable state or federal law as amended, which increase shall be effective hereunder on the effective date of such amendment, and all interest charges owing to Lenders by reason thereof shall be payable in accordance with this Agreement.

SECTION 4

LOAN ADMINISTRATION

4.1 Manner of Borrowing and Funding Revolving Loans.

(a) Notice of Borrowing. Revolving Loans shall be made on the Closing Date in accordance with the disbursement agreement delivered by Borrower Representative to Administrative Agent on the Closing Date. After the Closing Date, Borrowers may request new Revolving Loans (including Swing Line Loans), by delivering to Administrative Agent at its Lending Office a Notice of Borrowing (which notice may be transmitted by electronic mail subject to the limitations set forth in Section 15.1(d)). If the requested Revolving Loan is to be a Base Rate Loan, then, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Administrative Agent in its discretion, such Notice of Borrowing must be received by Administrative Agent at or before 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day on which Borrowers desire such Revolving Loan to be made. If the requested Revolving Loan is to be a Term SOFR Rate Loan, then, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Administrative Agent in its discretion, such Notice of Borrowing must be received by Administrative Agent at or before 11:00 a.m. on the third U.S. Government Securities Business Day preceding the date on which Borrowers desire such Revolving Loan to be made. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Administrative Agent in its discretion, any Notice of Borrowing received by Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. on a Business Day (or, as applicable, U.S. Government Securities Business Day) shall be deemed to have been received on the immediately following Business Day. Each Notice of Borrowing for a Revolving Loan shall specify (i) the amount of the Borrowing; (ii) the requested funding date (which must be a Business Day or, as

79

applicable, a U.S. Government Securities Business Day); (iii) whether the Borrowing is requested to be made as a Swing Line Loan; (iv) whether the Borrowing is requested to be made as a Base Rate Loan or Term SOFR Rate Loan; and (v) in the case of a Term SOFR Rate Loan, the duration of the applicable Interest Period. If Borrowers do not specify an Interest Period with respect to any Notice of Borrowing for a Term SOFR Rate Loan, then, the Interest Period for such Loan shall be deemed to be one (1) month.

(b) Deemed Requests for Funding. Each Notice of Borrowing for a Revolving Loan received by Administrative Agent shall be irrevocable.

(i) The becoming due of any Obligations shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Revolving Loan on the due date therefor in the amount of such Obligations, and, upon the making of such Revolving Loan, Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds thereof in direct payment of such Obligations. In addition, Administrative Agent may, at its option, debit any of Borrowers’ or any other Credit Parties’ Deposit Accounts maintained at Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) by the amount of any Obligations that are then due and apply the proceeds thereof to the payment of such Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.1(b)(i), in no event shall Borrowers be deemed to have requested a Base Rate Revolving Loan or shall Administrative Agent debit any Borrower’s Deposit Accounts in respect of any Obligations that are not regularly scheduled payments of interest or fees set forth in Section 3.1(c), Section 3.2(b), Section 3.2(c), Section 3.2(d) or Section 3.2(e) unless Administrative Agent has given at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Borrower Representative of such payment coming due.

(ii) If Borrowers have established a controlled disbursement Deposit Account with Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), whether pursuant to an Auto Borrow Agreement or otherwise, then, the presentation for payment of any check or other item of payment drawn on such Deposit Account at a time when there are insufficient funds on deposit therein to pay the same shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Revolving Loan on the date of such presentation in the amount of the checks and such other Payment Items presented for payment. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans may be disbursed directly to the controlled disbursement Deposit Account or other appropriate Deposit Account.

(c) Fundings by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Except for Borrowings that Swing Line Lender elects to make as Swing Line Loans, Administrative Agent shall endeavor to notify Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing (or deemed request for a Borrowing) by 12:00 noon on the requested funding date for Base Rate Loans, or by 3:00 p.m. at least three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days before any requested funding of Term SOFR Rate Loans. Each Lender shall fund to Administrative Agent such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Pro Rata Share of each requested Borrowing at the Principal Office of Administrative Agent to the account specified by Administrative Agent in immediately available funds no later than 2:00 p.m. on the requested funding date, unless Administrative Agent’s notice is received after the times provided above, in which case each Lender shall fund its Pro Rata Share by 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day or, as applicable, U.S. Government Securities Business Day. Subject to its receipt of such amounts from Lenders, Administrative Agent shall disburse the proceeds of the Revolving Loans in the lawful manner directed by Borrower Representative. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received (in sufficient time to act) written notice from a Lender that it does not intend to fund its Pro Rata Share of a Borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has deposited or will deposit in accordance herewith its Pro Rata Share with Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent may disburse a corresponding amount to Borrowers. If all or a portion of a Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing is not in fact received by Administrative Agent, then Borrowers agree to repay to Administrative Agent ON DEMAND the amount of any deficiency, together with interest thereon from the date disbursed until repaid, at the rate applicable to such Borrowing.

80

(d) Borrowers’ Account. Administrative Agent shall maintain Borrowers’ Account in accordance with its customary procedures; provided, however, the failure by Administrative Agent to record the date and amount of any Loan shall not adversely affect Administrative Agent or any Lender. Each month, Administrative Agent shall send to Borrower Representative a statement showing the accounting for the Loans made, payments made or credited in respect thereof, and other transactions between Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrowers during such month. The monthly statements shall be deemed correct and binding upon Borrowers in the absence of manifest error and shall constitute an account stated between ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Borrowers unless Administrative Agent receives a written statement of Borrowers’ specific exceptions thereto within thirty (30) days after such statement is received by Borrower Representative. The records of Administrative Agent with respect to Borrower Representative shall be conclusive evidence absent manifest error of the amounts of Loans and other charges thereto and of payments applicable thereto.

4.2 Defaulting Lender.

(a) Limitation on Actions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, 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) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, supplement, waiver, consent or other modification with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be restricted as set forth in Section 15.2(a).

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts (other than fees that any Defaulting Lender is not entitled to receive pursuant to Section 4.2(a)(iii)) received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, as a scheduled payment or by prepayment, at maturity, pursuant to Section 11.2 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 15.6), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to LC Issuer or the Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 4.6; fourth, as Borrower Representative may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrower Representative to be held in a non-interest bearing Deposit Account and released in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize LC Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 4.6; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any

81

Lender, LC Issuer or the Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrowers, or any of them, as a result of any final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower or Borrowers against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction binding on such Defaulting Lender; provided, that, if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Obligations in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or LC Obligations were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders Pro Rata in accordance with their Revolving Commitments without giving effect to Section 4.2(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 4.2(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to (and the underlying obligations satisfied to the extent of such payment) and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees.

(A) Such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee, any fees with respect to Letters of Credit (except as provided in clause (B) below) or any other fees hereunder for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive fees with respect to Letters of Credit for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Pro Rata Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 4.6.

(C) With respect to any fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Obligations or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to LC Issuer’s or Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless Borrower Representative shall have

82

otherwise notified Administrative Agent at such time, Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Revolving Credit Exposure at such time to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Subject to Section 15.25, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to them hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.4.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If Borrower Representative, Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and LC Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held Pro Rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Revolving Commitments (without giving effect to Section 4.2(a)(iv), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrowers while that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) New Swing Line Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund Swing Line Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan, and (ii) LC Issuer shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

4.3 Borrower Representative. Each Credit Party hereby designates Parent (“Borrower Representative”) as its representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including requests for Loans and Letters of Credit, designation of interest rates and Interest Periods, delivery or receipt of communications (including any Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Conversion/Continuation, any Approved Electronic Communication, any electronic mail notice or request for a Borrowing or the conversion, or continuation of any Loan, or any request for the issuance of any Letter of Credit), preparation and delivery of Borrowing Base Certificates and all attachments thereto, financial reports and Compliance Certificates, receipt and payment of Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments, or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with Administrative Agent, LC Issuer, or any Lender. Borrower Representative ▇▇▇▇▇▇ accepts such appointment. Administrative Agent, LC Issuer, and the Lenders may give any notice to, or communication with, a Credit Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document to or with Borrower Representative on behalf of such Credit Party. Each Credit Party agrees that any notice, election, communication,

83

representation, agreement, or undertaking made on its behalf by Borrower Representative shall be binding upon and enforceable against it. Administrative Agent, LC Issuer, and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, the terms of this Section 4.3; provided that, nothing contained herein shall limit the effectiveness of, or the right of Administrative Agent, LC Issuer or any Lender to rely upon, any notice (including without limitation a borrowing or conversion notice), instrument, document, certificate, acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or any other action delivered by any Credit Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

4.4 One Obligation. The Loans, LC Obligations, and other Obligations shall constitute one general, joint and several obligation of Credit Parties and (unless otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document) shall be secured by Administrative Agent’s Lien upon all Collateral; provided, however, that Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be deemed to be a creditor of, and the holder of a separate claim against, each Credit Party to the extent of any Obligations jointly or severally owed by such Credit Party.

4.5 Effect of Termination. On the Commitment Termination Date, all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable, in full, and each Lender may terminate its and its Affiliates’ Bank Products (including, but only with the consent of Administrative Agent, any Treasury Services), in accordance with its respective Bank Product Agreements. All undertakings of all Obligors contained in the Loan Documents shall survive any termination, and Administrative Agent shall retain its Liens in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, until Payment in Full of all Obligations (other than (i) contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted and (ii) Bank Product Obligations (other than Excluded Bank Product Obligations) that have been Cash Collateralized). Section 2.4, Section 13.1, Section 14.1, Section 14.2, Section 14.3, Section 14.4, Section 15.3, Section 15.4, and Section 15.23, this Section 4.5, the obligation of each Credit Party and each Lender with respect to each indemnity given by it in any Loan Document, including under Section 8.9, Section 12.5 and Section 15.3, and each other term, provision, or section of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that states as much, shall survive Payment in Full of the Obligations and any release or termination relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or any credit facility established hereunder or thereunder. In connection with the foregoing, each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that Administrative Agent may condition the delivery of any payoff letter on receipt of an unconditional release of all Claims of all Credit Parties against Administrative Agent, LC Issuer and Lenders arising on or before the payment date in respect of the Obligations.

4.6 Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of Administrative Agent or LC Issuer (with a copy to Administrative Agent) Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in an amount sufficient to cover the applicable Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 4.2(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of LC Issuer, and agrees to maintain, a perfected first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of LC Obligations, to be applied in the manner set forth below. If at any time Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than Administrative Agent and LC Issuer as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure, Borrowers will, ON DEMAND by Administrative Agent, pay or provide to Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 4.6 or Section 4.2 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of LC Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting

84

Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such Property as may otherwise be provided for herein. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 4.6 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by Administrative Agent and LC Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Credit Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 4.6 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 5.5) but shall be released upon the waiver or cure of such Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other Obligations.

SECTION 5

PAYMENTS

5.1 General Payment Provisions.

(a) All payments of Obligations shall be made in Dollars, without right of offset, recoupment, counterclaim, discount, charge back or other defense of any kind, free of (and without deduction for) any Taxes or other sums, and in immediately available funds, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Administrative Agent in its discretion, not later than 12:00 noon on the due date to the Principal Office of Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer, the Lenders or other obligee. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Administrative Agent in its discretion, any payment after such time shall be deemed made on the next Business Day. Any payment of a Term SOFR Rate Loan before the end of its Interest Period shall be accompanied by all amounts due under Section 14.1(c). Any prepayment of Loans (whether mandatory or voluntary) shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and, then, to Term SOFR Rate Loans. Subject to the provisos set forth in Section 3.1(f) in respect of “Interest Period,” whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of any applicable fee hereunder, but such payment shall be deemed to have been made on the date therefor for all other purposes hereunder.

(b) [Reserved].

5.2 Repayment of Revolving Loans.

(a) Payment on Commitment Termination Date. Unless otherwise sooner becoming due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Revolving Loans shall be due and payable in full on the Commitment Termination Date.

All such prepayments shall be made, unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent: (i) upon written notice on the date of prepayment in the case of Base Rate Loans or Swing Line Loans; and (ii) upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice in the case of Term SOFR Rate Loans, in each case given to Administrative Agent, or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, by 11:00 a.m. on the date required (and Administrative Agent will promptly transmit such notice for a Credit Extension written notice to each Lender). Upon the giving of any such notice, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein. Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as specified in Section 5.2(d).

(c) Mandatory Prepayments. Subject to the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, and in each case without a corresponding reduction to the Revolving Commitments, within two (2) Business Days following: (i) receipt by any Credit Party or Subsidiary of any Net Proceeds (Asset Dispositions) (other than any such Net Proceeds (Asset Dispositions) received (x) as a result of any Permitted Property Sale or (y) with respect to any Term Priority Collateral (as defined in the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement)), Credit Parties shall prepay Revolving Loans (or, if the Revolving Loans are, or thereby have been reduced to, $0, Cash Collateralize the LC Obligations) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds (Asset Dispositions); (ii) receipt by any Credit Party or Subsidiary or Administrative Agent of any Net Proceeds (Loss) (other than any such Net Proceeds (Loss) received with respect to any Term Priority Collateral (as defined in the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement)), Credit Parties shall prepay the Revolving Loans (or, if the Revolving Loans are or thereby have been reduced to $0, Cash Collateralize the LC Obligations) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds (Loss); and (iii) receipt by any Credit Party or Subsidiary of any Net Proceeds (Debt), Credit Parties shall prepay the Revolving Loans (or, if the Revolving Loans are or thereby have been reduced to $0, Cash Collateralize the LC Obligations), in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Proceeds (Debt); provided that in the case of any Net Proceeds (Asset Dispositions) or Net Proceeds (Loss) so long as (1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, and (2) a Credit Party or Subsidiary reinvests the Net Proceeds (Asset Dispositions) or Net Proceeds (Loss) or a portion thereof in assets useful for the business of a Credit Party within one (1) year after the initial receipt of such monies, or commits to reinvest the monies in such assets within one hundred eighty (180) days after the initial receipt of such monies and completes the reinvestment within one (1) year after the initial receipt of such monies, then the Credit Parties shall have the option to apply such monies to the reinvestment in such assets, unless and to the extent that such applicable period shall have expired without such reinvestment being made or completed, in which case, any amounts not reinvested shall be applied to repayment in accordance with this Section 5.2(c); provided that if such Net Proceeds (Asset Dispositions) or Net Proceeds (Loss) are received by any Credit Party or Subsidiary from any Asset Disposition or Loss, as applicable, of any ABL Priority Collateral, then, in each case, the commitment to reinvest and/or the actual reinvestment of such Net Proceeds (Asset Dispositions) or Net Proceeds (Loss), as applicable, shall be in assets that are ABL Priority Collateral. If the Credit Parties elect to reinvest such Net Proceeds (Asset Dispositions) or Net Proceeds (Loss), then, in each case, subject to the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, such Net Proceeds (Asset Dispositions) and/or Net Proceeds (Loss), as applicable, shall be deposited in a Blocked Account maintained with PNC until completion of the reinvestment as contemplated by this Section 5.2(c) or the application of such repayment in accordance with this Section 5.2(d).

86

(d) Collection Account. Subject to the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, from and after the date of the first advance of Revolving Loans, but solely during a Cash Dominion Period, the collected balance in the main Collection Account as of the end of each Business Day shall, at the beginning of the next Business Day, be applied, first, to the principal balance of the Revolving Loans (unless such funds are otherwise required to be applied to some other portion of the Obligations in accordance with this Agreement) and then, to other Obligations then due and payable, as determined by Administrative Agent. If, as a result of such application, a credit balance exists, the balance shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrowers and shall be made available to Borrowers as long as no Default or Event of Default exists. Any of the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Administrative Agent may charge back to any Collection Account (or any other account of a Borrower maintained with Administrative Agent) a Payment Item that is returned for inability to collect, plus accrued interest during the period of Administrative Agent’s provisional credit for such item before receiving notice of dishonor. Administrative Agent and Lenders assume no responsibility to Borrowers for any lockbox arrangement or Collection Account, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to any Payment Items accepted by any bank.

5.3 [Reserved].

5.4 Payment of Other Obligations. Obligations other than Loans, including LC Obligations and Extraordinary Expenses, shall be paid by Borrowers as provided in the Loan Documents or, if no payment date is specified, promptly following written demand therefor.

5.5 Post-Default Allocation of Payments.

(a) Allocation. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, during an Event of Default, if so directed by the Required Lenders or at Administrative Agent’s discretion, monies to be applied to the Obligations, whether arising from payments by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, realization on Collateral (subject to the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement), by exercise of setoff, or otherwise, shall be allocated as follows:

(i) first, to (A) all fees, including fees payable pursuant to this Agreement, the Fee Letter or any other Loan Document, then owing, (B) all costs and expenses, including Extraordinary Expenses, reimbursable by Credit Parties, then owing, (C) all Indemnitee Obligations, and (D) any Protective Advances and any Over Advance Loans (including principal and interest), in each case, to the extent owing to Administrative Agent in its capacity as Administrative Agent;

(ii) second, to (A) all costs and expenses reimbursable by Credit Parties, and (B) all Indemnitee Obligations, to the extent owing to LC Issuer Indemnitees and any Lender Indemnitees;

(iii) third, to all amounts owing to Swing Line Lender on Swing Line Loans (including principal and interest);

(v) fifth, to all Obligations constituting fees owing to LC Issuer or any Lender, to the extent not already paid above (other than any then constituting Bank Product Obligations);

(vi) sixth, to all Obligations constituting interest owing to any Lender to the extent not already paid above (other than any then constituting Bank Product Obligations);

87

(vii) seventh, to (A) all Loans, (B) LC Obligations (including the Cash Collateralization of that portion of the LC Obligations constituting then undrawn amounts under outstanding Letters of Credit), and (C) Bank Product Obligations (including the Cash Collateralization of that portion of any Bank Product Obligations that are then contingent or otherwise not yet due and payable), if and to the extent that consistent with Section 12.13, the applicable Bank Product Provider thereof has delivered a Secured Party Designation Notice to Administrative Agent, up to the amount of Reserves then being imposed by Administrative Agent in regard thereto;

(viii) eighth, to all other Bank Product Obligations (including the Cash Collateralization of that portion of any Bank Product Obligations that are then contingent or otherwise not yet due and payable), described in Section 5.5(a)(vii)(C) above, to the extent not already paid;

(ix) ninth, to all other Obligations, including any other Bank Product Obligations (including the Cash Collateralization of that portion of any Bank Product Obligations and other Obligations that are then contingent or otherwise not yet due and payable), if and to the extent not already paid, other than any then owing to the Defaulting Lenders;

(x) tenth, to all Obligations then owing to the Defaulting Lenders; and

(xi) lastly, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been Paid in Full, to Borrowers or as otherwise then required under Applicable Law.

(b) Manner of Application. In respect of the waterfall of payment application set forth in Section 5.5(a), amounts shall be applied to each of the foregoing categories of Obligations in the order presented above within each category before being applied to the following category. Where applicable, all amounts to be applied to a given category will be applied on a pro rata basis among those entitled to payment in such category.

(c) Bank Product Obligations. In determining the amount to be applied to Bank Product Obligations within clauses seventh, eighth and ninth above, the pro rata share of each Bank Product Provider (other than PNC and its Affiliates) shall be based on the lesser of (x) the estimated maximum amount thereof to be created or incurred as so designated in the then most recent Secured Party Designation Notice from such Bank Product Provider to Administrative Agent and (y) the actual amount of such Bank Product Obligations then owing to such Bank Product Provider, which each Bank Product Provider (other than PNC and its Affiliates) shall be obliged to designate to Administrative Agent at the time of, and as a condition to, its receipt of such amounts. Administrative Agent shall have no duty to investigate whether such Bank Product Obligations are actually owing to such Bank Product Provider in such designated amount, and, instead, shall be entitled to rely in all respects on such Bank Product Provider’s designation thereof. The pro rata share of PNC and its Affiliates shall not be subject to the foregoing limitations, but shall be determined and reported directly to Administrative Agent by PNC.

(d) Secured Parties as Beneficiaries. The allocations set forth in this Section 5.5 are solely to determine the rights and priorities of the Secured Parties among themselves and may be changed by agreement among them at any time and from time to time without notice to, or the consent of, any Credit Party. No Credit Party is entitled to any benefit under this Section 5.5 or has any standing to enforce this Section 5.5.

88

(e) Excluded Swaps. Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Credit Party shall not be paid with amounts received from such Credit Party or such Credit Party’s assets, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Credit Parties to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth above in Section 5.5(a).

(f) Application of Payments; Erroneous Application. In each case, subject to the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, Administrative Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and re-apply any payment in respect of the Obligations and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or a Cash Dominion Event, or even in the absence of the existence of any Event of Default or Cash Dominion Event to the extent necessary to correct any manifest error, any and all proceeds of Collateral, to any portion of the Obligations. In each case, subject to the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any application of amounts made by it pursuant to this Section 5.5 if made in Good Faith (including, without limitation, with respect to negligent application or application subject to strict liability) and, if any such application is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender or other Person to which such amount ought to have been made shall be to recover the amount from the Person that actually received it (and, if such amount was received by any Secured Party, then such Secured Party, by accepting the benefits of this Agreement, agrees to return it).

5.6 Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall, by exercising any claim, counterclaim, right of setoff (including any permitted under Section 15.6), charge back, discount, defense, qualification, or exception or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other Obligations hereunder resulting in such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such Obligations greater than its Pro Rata Share thereof as provided herein, then, the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify Administrative Agent of such fact and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other Obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable (as determined by Administrative Agent), so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, based on their respective Pro Rata Shares thereof; provided, however, that: (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by a Credit Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Commitments, Loans, or participations in Swing Line Loans or LC Obligations to any Transferee; and (iii) no Lender or Participant may exercise any right of setoff except as provided in Section 15.6.

5.7 Nature and Extent of each Borrower’s Liability.

(a) Joint and Several Liability; Guarantee. Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally Guarantees to Administrative Agent, LC Issuer, each Lender and each other Secured Party the prompt payment and performance of, all Obligations and all agreements under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of each of the other Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the payment and performance of the Obligations, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each Borrower and all

89

Borrowers without preferences or distinctions between or among them. Each Borrower agrees that its Guarantee obligations hereunder with respect to the Obligations of each other Borrower constitute a continuing Guarantee of payment and not of collection, that such obligations shall not be discharged until Payment in Full of the Obligations (other than (i) contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted and (ii) Bank Product Obligations (other than Excluded Bank Product Obligations) that have been Cash Collateralized), and that such obligations are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (i) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability, subordination, or any future modification of, or change in, any Obligations or Loan Document, or any other document, instrument, or agreement to which any Credit Party is or may become a party or be bound; (ii) the absence of any action by Administrative Agent, LC Issuer, each Lender or any other Secured Party to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 5.7) or any other Loan Document, or any waiver, consent, or indulgence of any kind given by Administrative Agent, LC Issuer, any Lender or any Secured Party with respect thereto; (iii) the existence, value, or condition of, or failure to perfect a Lien, or to preserve rights against, any security or Guarantee for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Administrative Agent, LC Issuer, or any Lender in respect thereof (including the release of any security or Guarantee); (iv) the insolvency of any other Credit Party or Subsidiary; (v) any election by Administrative Agent, LC Issuer, any Lender or any other Secured Party in an Insolvency Proceeding for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (vi) any borrowing of Debt or grant of a Lien by any other Credit Party, whether as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (vii) the disallowance of any claims of Administrative Agent, LC Issuer, any Lender or any other Secured Party as against any other Credit Party for the repayment of any Obligations whether under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (viii) any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding in respect of any other Credit Party; or (ix) any other action, event, circumstance or condition that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except Payment in Full of all Obligations.

(b) Waivers.

(i) Each Borrower expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party to marshal assets or to proceed against any Credit Party, other Person or security for the payment or performance of any Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Borrower. Each Borrower waives all defenses available to a surety, guarantor, or accommodation co-obligor other than Payment in Full of all Obligations. It is agreed among each Borrower, Administrative Agent, LC Issuer and the Lenders that the provisions of this Section 5.7 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for such provisions, Administrative Agent, LC Issuer and the Lenders would decline to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit. Each Borrower acknowledges that its Guarantee pursuant to this Section 5.7 is necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business and can be expected to benefit such business.

(ii) Administrative Agent, LC Issuer, Lenders and any other Secured Parties may, in their discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as they deem appropriate, including realization upon Collateral by judicial foreclosure or non-judicial sale or enforcement, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section 5.7. If, in taking any action in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies, Administrative Agent, LC Issuer or any Lender shall forfeit any other rights or remedies, including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Credit Party or other Person, whether because of

90

any Applicable Law pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, each Borrower consents to such action and waives any claim based upon it, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that any Credit Party might otherwise have had. Each of Borrowers waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof. Any payment by any Borrower or other circumstance that operates to toll any statute of limitations as to any Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each of the other Borrowers. Any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of Administrative Agent, LC Issuer or any Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Credit Party shall not impair any Borrower’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies, such as non-judicial foreclosure with respect to any security for the Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s rights of subrogation against any other Borrower, any other Credit Party or any other Person. Administrative Agent may bid all or a portion of the Obligations at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale, and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Administrative Agent but shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Administrative Agent or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral, and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations Guaranteed under this Section 5.7, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Administrative Agent, LC Issuer, any Lender or any other Secured Party might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

(c) Extent of Liability; Contribution. (i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Borrower’s liability under this Section 5.7 shall be limited to the greater of (A) all amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable, as described below, and (B) such Borrower’s Allocable Amount (as defined below).

(i) If any Borrower makes a payment under this Section 5.7 of any Obligations, other than amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such Borrower’s Allocable Amount bore to the total Allocable Amounts of all Borrowers, then, such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately before such Guarantor Payment. The “Allocable Amount” for any Borrower shall be the maximum amount that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section 5.7 without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any other applicable Debtor Relief Law.

(ii) Nothing contained in this Section 5.7 shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay Loans made directly or indirectly to that Borrower (including Loans advanced to any other Borrower and then remade or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower), LC Obligations relating to Letters of Credit issued to support such Borrower’s business, and all accrued interest, fees, expenses, and other related Obligations with respect thereto, for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder. Administrative Agent and Lenders shall have the right, at any time in their discretion, to condition Loans and Letters of Credit upon a separate calculation of Excess Availability for each Borrower and to restrict the disbursement and use of such Loans and Letters of Credit to such Borrower.

91

(d) Joint Enterprise. Each Borrower has requested that Administrative Agent, LC Issuer and the Lenders make this credit facility available to Borrowers on a combined basis, to finance Borrowers’ business most efficiently and economically. Borrowers’ business is a mutual and collective enterprise, and Borrowers believe that consolidation of their credit facilities will enhance the borrowing power of each Borrower and ease the administration of their relationship with credit providers (including Administrative Agent, LC Issuer and the Lenders), all to the mutual advantage of Borrowers. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledge and agree that Administrative Agent, LC Issuer and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’ willingness to extend credit to Borrowers and to administer the Collateral on a combined basis, as set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at Borrowers’ request.

(e) Subordination. Each Borrower hereby subordinates any claims, including any rights at law or in equity, to payment, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, or set off, that it may have at any time against any other Credit Party, howsoever arising, to Payment in Full of all Obligations.

(f) Keepwell. Borrowers hereby agree to cause each Qualified ECP Guarantor to jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertake to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each Specified Credit Party to honor all of such Specified Credit Party’s obligations under its Guarantee and the Security Documents in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under its undertaking pursuant to this Section 5.7 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s obligations and undertakings under its Guarantee, voidable under the Bankruptcy Code and other applicable Debtor Relief Laws, and not for any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 5.7 shall remain in full force and effect until Payment in Full of the Obligations. Each Borrower, for itself and on behalf of each Qualified ECP Guarantor, intends that this Section 5.7 (and any corresponding provision of any applicable Guarantee) constitute, and this Section 5.7 (and any corresponding provision of any applicable Guarantee) shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each Specified Credit Party for all purposes of section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

(g) Inquiry. Each Borrower represents and warrants to Administrative Agent, LC Issuer and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ that such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is currently informed of the financial position of the other Borrowers and of all other circumstances that a diligent inquiry would reveal and that bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower further represents and warrants to Administrative Agent, LC Issuer and Lenders that such Borrower has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby covenants to Administrative Agent, LC Issuer and Lenders that such Borrower will continue to keep informed of the other Borrowers’ financial position and of all other circumstances that bear upon the risk of nonpayment or non-performance of the Obligations.

92

(h) Subrogation Generally. Notwithstanding any term of this Agreement or of any Loan Document that may be to the contrary, each Borrower further hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the provisions of this Section 5.7, including any rights of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Administrative Agent, LC Issuer or any Lender against any Borrower, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from any Borrower, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security solely on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until such time as all of the Obligations have been Paid in Full. Any claim that any Borrower may have against any other Borrower or another Credit Party with respect to any payments to Administrative Agent, LC Issuer or any Lender hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior Payment in Full of the Obligations and, in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any Borrower, its Debts or its Properties, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Obligations shall be Paid in Full before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any other Borrower in regard thereto. If any such amount shall be paid to any Borrower in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, such amount shall be held in trust by such Borrower for the benefit of Administrative Agent, LC Issuer and Lenders, and shall promptly be paid to Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Agreement, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or to be held as Collateral for any Obligations or other amounts payable under this Agreement thereafter arising. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Borrower may exercise any such rights of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or other similar rights against, and may not proceed or seek recourse against or with respect to any property or asset of, any other Borrower (a “Foreclosed Borrower”), including after Payment in Full of the Obligations, if all or any portion of the Obligations have been satisfied in connection with an exercise of remedies in respect of the Equity Interests of such Foreclosed Borrower, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.

If Credit Parties fail to provide and pay for any insurance, Administrative Agent may, at its option, but shall not be obligated to do so, procure the insurance and charge Credit Parties therefor. Each Credit Party agrees to deliver to Administrative Agent, promptly as received (but, in any event, within five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof), copies of all claims made to insurance companies.

Prior to the occurrence of a Cash Dominion Triggering Event, the Credit Parties shall retain the right to direct the disposition of funds in the Blocked Accounts and/or the Collection Accounts, and Administrative Agent agrees not to provide an Activation Notice to any Blocked Account Bank unless a Cash Dominion Triggering Event has occurred and is continuing. In the event that Administrative Agent issues an Activation Notice, Administrative Agent agrees to rescind such Activation Notice at such time that no Cash Dominion Period shall exist (it being

123

understood that, notwithstanding any such rescission, Administrative Agent shall have the right and is authorized to issue an additional Activation Notice if a subsequent Cash Dominion Triggering Event shall have occurred or a Cash Dominion Period shall exist at any time thereafter). All funds deposited in the Blocked Accounts or Collection Accounts (in each case, other than any Excluded Accounts) shall immediately become subject to the security interest of Administrative Agent, for its own benefit and the ratable benefit of the other Secured Parties, and Borrower Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the agreement by each Blocked Account Bank to waive any offset rights against the funds so deposited. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender assumes any responsibility for such blocked account arrangements, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by any Blocked Account Bank thereunder. During a Cash Dominion Period, Administrative Agent shall apply all funds received by it from the Blocked Accounts and/or Collection Accounts to (A) relieve the Eligible Accounts associated with such funds as set forth in the then current Borrowing Base Certificate, and (B) the satisfaction of the Obligations (including the cash collateralization of all Obligations relating to any outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.6 hereof) in such order as Administrative Agent shall determine in its Permitted Discretion, subject to Borrowers’ ability to re-borrow Revolving Loans in accordance with the terms hereof and without a permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitment; provided that, in the absence of any Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall apply all such funds representing collection of Accounts first to the prepayment of the principal amount of the Swing Loans, if any, and then to the Revolving Loans.

(i) No Credit Party will, without Administrative Agent’s consent, compromise or adjust any material amount of the Accounts (or extend the time for payment thereof) or accept any material returns of merchandise or grant any additional discounts, allowances or credits thereon except for those compromises, adjustments, returns, discounts, credits and allowances as have been heretofore customary in the Ordinary Course of Business of such Credit Party.

(j) No Credit Party will establish or maintain any Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts other than Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts: (i) listed in Schedule 7.9; provided that, unless such Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts are covered either by clause (ii) or clause (iv) below, such Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts are terminated and closed within the timeframes set forth in Section 8.16(c) hereof, (ii) maintained at Administrative Agent; (iii) with the consent of Administrative Agent, maintained at any Permitted Third Party Bank subject to Administrative Agent’s Article 9 Control pursuant to an Article 9 Control Agreement having terms acceptable to Administrative Agent; or (iv) that are Excluded Accounts; provided that the aggregate balance of funds on deposit in all Excluded Accounts opened and maintained pursuant to this clause (iv) shall not at any time exceed $250,000, unless otherwise approved by Administrative Agent.

(k) (i) Promptly (but, in any event, within ten (10) Business Days) after any Credit Party’s entering into any agreement with any Person pursuant to which such Person will provide merchant card services or credit card processing services to such Credit Party, provide notice of such agreement to Administrative Agent, together with a true and complete copy of such agreement, the name and address of such Person, and such other information regarding the same as Administrative Agent may request from time to time and (ii) upon Administrative Agent’s request, exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Person to enter into a Third Party Claimant Agreement (and such Credit Party’s compliance with the terms of this clause (k)(ii) shall not diminish Administrative Agent’s rights to establish a Reserve therefor).

124

Following a Financial Covenant Default, none of Administrative Agent, LC Issuer, nor any Lender shall be required to fund any requested Loan, issue any Letter of Credit, or otherwise make any extension of credit or financial accommodation to or for the benefit or account of any Borrower hereunder until the date that the applicable Financial Covenant Default has been cured pursuant to the foregoing Section 11.7.

SECTION 12

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

12.1 Appointment, Authority, and Duties of Administrative Agent; Professionals.

(a) Appointment and Authority. Each Lender, LC Issuer and other Secured Party hereby irrevocably appoints PNC to act on its behalf as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes Administrative Agent to (i) take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are incidental thereto and (ii) enter into all Loan Documents to which Administrative Agent is intended to be a party and accept all Security Documents for Administrative Agent’s benefit and the Pro Rata benefit of the Lenders, all of which shall be binding upon the Secured Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive authority to (i) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for the Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Loan Documents; (ii) execute and deliver as Administrative Agent each Loan Document, including any Intercreditor Agreement or Subordination Agreement, and accept delivery of each Loan Document from any Obligor or other Person; (iii) act as collateral agent for the Secured Parties for purposes of perfecting and administering Liens under the Loan Documents, and for all other purposes stated therein; (iv) manage, supervise, or otherwise deal with Collateral; and (v) take any Enforcement Action or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any

147

Collateral under the Loan Documents, Applicable Law, or otherwise. Subject to Section 15.2(a)(v), Administrative Agent alone shall be authorized to determine whether any Accounts or Inventory constitute Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory or whether to impose or release any Reserve, which determinations and judgments, if exercised in Good Faith, shall exonerate Administrative Agent from liability to any LC Issuer, Lender or other Secured Party or other Person for any error in judgment. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any other similar nomenclature) herein or in any other Loan Documents with reference to Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

(b) Duties; Delegation. The duties of Administrative Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Administrative Agent shall not have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender, LC Issuer, Secured Party, Participant or other Person, whether by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any transaction relating hereto or thereto or otherwise, and regardless whether a Default or Event of Default exists. The conferral upon Administrative Agent of any right shall not imply a duty on Administrative Agent’s part to exercise such right, unless instructed to do so by Required Lenders in accordance with and pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Administrative Agent may perform its duties through agents, employees and other Related Parties and may consult with and employ Administrative Agent Professionals and shall be entitled to act upon (or refrain from acting upon), and shall be fully protected in any action taken (or omitted to be taken) in Good Faith reliance upon, any advice given by any Administrative Agent Professional. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, employees, other Related Parties or Administrative Agent Professionals selected by it in Good Faith. Except as otherwise may be expressly set forth herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for any failure to disclose, any information relating to any Credit Party or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its agents, employees, other Related Parties or Administrative Agent Professionals in any capacity.

(c) Instructions of Required Lenders. The rights and remedies conferred upon Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents may be exercised without the necessity of joinder of any other party, unless required by Applicable Law. Administrative Agent may request instructions from Required Lenders with respect to any act (including the failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document and may seek assurances to its satisfaction from Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 12.5 against all Claims that could be incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with any act (or failure to act). Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act until it has received such instructions or assurances, and Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Instructions of the Required Lenders shall be binding upon all Lenders, and no Lender or any other Person shall have any right of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative Agent’s acting or refraining from acting in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, instructions by and consent of all Lenders (except any Defaulting Lender) shall be required in the circumstances described in Section 15.2(a)(iv). The Required Lenders, without the prior written consent of each Lender, may not direct Administrative Agent to accelerate and demand payment of Loans held by one Lender without accelerating and demanding payment of all other Loans or terminate the Commitments of one Lender without terminating the Commitments of all Lenders. Administrative Agent shall not

148

be required to take any action that, in its opinion, or in the opinion of its legal counsel, is contrary to Applicable Law or any Loan Document or could subject any Administrative Agent Indemnitee to liability, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of Property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law.

(d) Legal Representation of Administrative Agent. In connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in connection with future legal representation relating to any amendments, waivers, consents or other modifications to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, or the administration or enforcement hereof or thereof, Blank Rome LLP has represented, and such law firm (or its successors serving in such capacity) shall represent, only PNC, in its capacity as Administrative Agent and a Lender or other Secured Party, and not any other Lender or other Secured Party.

Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lenders to assure that any Collateral exists or is owned by an Obligor or any other Person, or is cared for, protected, insured or encumbered, nor to assure that Administrative Agent’s Liens have been properly created, perfected or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority, nor to exercise any duty of care with respect to any Collateral. Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of Property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document pursuant to this Section 12.2(a).

(b) Possession of Collateral. Administrative Agent and the Lenders appoint each Lender as agent (for the benefit of Secured Parties) for the purpose of perfecting Liens in any Collateral held or under Article 9 Control of such Lender, to the extent such Liens are perfected by possession or Article 9 Control. If any Lender obtains possession or Article 9 Control of any Collateral, it shall notify Administrative Agent thereof and, promptly upon Administrative Agent’s request (but, in any case, within five (5) Business Days) deliver such Collateral to Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with Administrative Agent’s instructions.

149

(c) Reports. Upon any such Person’s request therefor, Administrative Agent shall promptly forward to LC Issuer and each Lender, when complete, copies of any field audit, field examination, or appraisal report prepared by or for Administrative Agent with respect to any Credit Party or Subsidiary or any Collateral (each, a “Report”). LC Issuer and each Lender agrees (i) that neither PNC nor Administrative Agent makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any Report and shall not be liable for any information contained in or omitted from any Report; (ii) that the Reports are not intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations of any Person, thing, or matter and that Administrative Agent or any other Person performing any such audit, examination, or appraisal will inspect only specific information regarding the subject matter thereof and will rely significantly upon the books and records, as well as upon representations of, the Persons (and their officers and employees) subject to such audit, examination, or appraisal; and (iii) to keep all Reports confidential in accordance with Section 15.14 and, without limitation thereof, not to distribute any Report (or the contents thereof) to any Person except to such Person’s Affiliates, Participants, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, administrators, managers, attorneys, accountants, consultants, advisors and representatives of such Person and of such Person’s Affiliates, or use any Report in any manner other than administration of the Loans and other Obligations. Each of LC Issuer and each of the Lenders agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Administrative Agent and any other Person preparing a Report (excepting therefrom any Obligor) from any action that LC Issuer or such Lender may take as a result of or any conclusion it may draw from any Report, as well as from any Claims arising in connection with any third parties that obtain any information contained in a Report through LC Issuer or such Lender.

(d) Rights of Individual Secured Parties. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the Credit Parties, Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) no Secured Party except Administrative Agent shall have any power, right or remedy hereunder individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it being understood and agreed that all such powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any of the other Secured Parties in their respective individual capacities) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by Administrative Agent at such sale or other disposition.

(e) Intercreditor Agreements. Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and directed by each of the Lenders, LC Issuer and each of the Secured Parties to, to the extent required or permitted by the terms of the Loan Documents, to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and make or consent to any filings or take any other actions in connection therewith, and each of said Persons acknowledges and agrees that the Intercreditor Agreement and any consent, filing or other action will be binding upon it.

In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.

150

12.3 Reliance By Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document, or other writing (including any electronic message, facsimile, Internet or intranet website posting, or other distribution), or any statement made to it (orally or otherwise) that is believed by it to be genuine and to have been made, signed, sent, or otherwise authenticated, as applicable, by the proper Person. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or LC Issuer, Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or LC Issuer unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or LC Issuer in accordance with Section 15.1 before the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇), independent accountants and other Administrative Agent Professionals selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

12.4 Action Upon Default. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless, in its capacity as a Lender it has actual knowledge thereof, or it has received written notice from any other Lender or any Credit Party specifying the occurrence and nature thereof. If any Lender acquires knowledge of a Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly notify Administrative Agent and the other Lenders thereof in writing specifying in detail the nature thereof. Each Lender agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Documents or with the written consent of Administrative Agent and Required Lenders, it will not take any Enforcement Action, accelerate Obligations under any Loan Documents, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under Applicable Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales, or other similar dispositions of Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, a Lender may take action to preserve or enforce its rights against a Borrower where a deadline or limitation period is applicable that would, absent such action, bar enforcement of Obligations held by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇, including the filing of proofs of claim in an Insolvency Proceeding.

12.5 Indemnification of Administrative Agent Indemnitees. EACH SECURED PARTY SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT INDEMNITEES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHERWISE INDEMNIFIED MATTER ARISING FROM ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY BUT NOT ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT), TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY OBLIGORS (BUT WITHOUT LIMITING THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF OBLIGORS UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS), ON A PRO RATA BASIS, AGAINST ALL CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT INDEMNITEE, PROVIDED THAT SUCH CLAIM RELATES TO OR ARISES FROM AN ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT INDEMNITEE’S ACTING AS OR FOR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT (IN ITS CAPACITY AS ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT). In Administrative Agent’s discretion, it may reserve for any such Claims made against an Administrative Agent Indemnitee and may satisfy any judgment, order, or settlement relating thereto, from proceeds of Collateral before making any distribution of Collateral proceeds to any other Secured Parties. If Administrative Agent is sued by any receiver, bankruptcy trustee, debtor-in-possession, or other Person for any alleged preference or fraudulent transfer, then any monies paid by Administrative Agent in settlement or satisfaction of such proceeding, together with all interest, costs, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in the defense of same, shall be reimbursed to Administrative Agent by each

151

Lender to the extent of its Pro Rata Share. All payment obligations under this Section 12.5 shall be due and payable ON DEMAND, together with interest thereon, computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days, for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues, for three (3) Business Days at the Federal Funds Rate and thereafter at the interest rate then applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans until such defaulted sum is Paid in Full.

12.6 Limitation on Responsibilities of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under any Loan Document (a) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Administrative Agent shall believe in Good Faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 15.2) or (b) in the absence of its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment binding on Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Obligor or any Secured Party of any obligations under the Loan Documents. Administrative Agent does not make to Lenders any express or implied warranty, representation, or Guarantee with respect to any Obligations, Collateral, Loan Documents, or Borrower. No Administrative Agent Indemnitee shall be responsible to any Secured Party for (a) any recitals, statements, information, representations, or warranties contained in any Loan Documents; (b) the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness, or enforceability of any Loan Documents; (c) the genuineness, enforceability, collectibility, value, sufficiency, location, or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; (d) the validity, enforceability or collectibility of any Obligations; or (e) the assets, liabilities, financial position, results of operations, business, creditworthiness, or legal status of any Credit Party or Account Debtor. No Administrative Agent Indemnitee shall have any obligation to any Secured Party to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 6 or elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document. Administrative Agent shall have no liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of Term SOFR Rate or with respect to any comparable or successor rate thereto.

12.7 Resignation; Successor Administrative Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving at least thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Borrower Representative (provided that no notice to or approval of Lenders or Borrowers shall be required (i) in any case where the successor Administrative Agent is one of the Lenders or (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified Event of Default). Upon receipt of such notice, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent that must be either (i) a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender (in each case excluding Defaulting Lenders) or (ii) if no Lender or such Affiliate of a Lender willing to accept such appointment, then, a commercial bank that is organized under the laws of the United States or any state or district thereof, or an Affiliate of such bank, and (provided no Specified Event of Default exists) is reasonably acceptable to Borrowers. If no successor agent is appointed before the effective date of the resignation of Administrative Agent, then Administrative Agent may appoint a successor agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, provided that if Administrative Agent shall notify Borrowers and Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any

152

Collateral security held by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or LC Issuer under any of the Loan Documents the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications, and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and LC Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section 12.7. Upon acceptance by a successor Administrative Agent of an appointment to serve as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent without further act, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 12.7) but shall continue to have the benefits of the indemnification set forth in Sections 12.5, 15.3, and 15.4. Notwithstanding any Administrative Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Section 12.7 shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while Administrative Agent. Any successor to PNC by merger or acquisition of Equity Interests or its Loans hereunder shall continue to be Administrative Agent hereunder without further act on the part of the parties hereto, unless such successor resigns as provided above. In addition to the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law by notice in writing to Borrower Representative and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, with consent of Borrowers (provided no Specified Event of Default exists), appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders (the “Removal Effective Date”)), then, such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date and the Required Lenders instituting such removal shall continue thereafter as co-Administrative Agents unless and until a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment.

12.8 Separate Collateral Agent. It is the intent of the parties that there shall be no violation of any Applicable Law denying or restricting the right of financial institutions to transact business in any jurisdiction. If Administrative Agent believes that it may be limited in the exercise of any rights or remedies under the Loan Documents due to any Applicable Law, Administrative Agent may appoint an additional Person who is not so limited, as a separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent. If Administrative Agent so appoints a collateral agent or co-collateral agent, each right and remedy intended to be available to Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents shall also be vested in such separate agent. Every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such agent shall run to and be enforceable by it as well as Administrative Agent. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall execute and deliver such documents as Administrative Agent deems appropriate to vest any rights or remedies in such agent. If any collateral agent or co-collateral agent shall die or dissolve, become incapable of acting, resign, or be removed, then all the rights and remedies of such agent, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall vest in and be exercised by Administrative Agent until appointment of a new agent.

12.9 Due Diligence and Non-Reliance. Each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, or any of their respective Related Parties, and based upon such documents, information, and analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each Obligor and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to fund Loans, issue Letters of Credit, participate in LC Obligations hereunder, make or participate in other credit extensions to Obligors hereunder and grant other financial accommodations to or on behalf of any Obligor pursuant hereto. Each Secured Party has made such inquiries concerning the Loan Documents, the Collateral and each Obligor as such Lender believes necessary. Each Secured Party further acknowledges and agrees that the other Secured Parties, including Administrative Agent, or any of their respective Related Parties, have made no representations or warranties concerning any Obligor or

153

Subsidiary, any Collateral, or the legality, validity, sufficiency, or enforceability of any Loan Documents or Obligations. Each Secured Party will, independently and without reliance upon the other Secured Parties, including Administrative Agent and or any of their respective Related Parties, and based upon such financial statements, documents, and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit decisions in making Loans, issuing Letters of Credit, participating in LC Obligations, making or participating in other credit extensions to Obligors and granting other financial accommodations to or on behalf of any Obligor and in taking or refraining from any action under any Loan Documents. Except as expressly required hereby and except for notices, reports, and other information expressly requested by a LC Issuer or any Lender, Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide LC Issuer, any Lender or any other Secured Party with any notices, reports, or certificates furnished to Administrative Agent by any Obligor or Subsidiary or any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial position, business, or Properties of any Obligor or Subsidiary that may come into possession of Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates.

12.10 Remittance of Payments.

(a) Remittances Generally. All payments by any Lender to Administrative Agent shall be made by the time and on the day set forth in this Agreement, in immediately available funds. If no time for payment is specified or if payment is due on demand by Administrative Agent and request for payment is made by Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. on a Business Day, payment shall be made by such Lender not later than 2:00 p.m. on such day, and if request is made after 11:00 a.m., then payment shall be made by 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day. Payment by Administrative Agent to any Lender shall be made by wire transfer, in the type of funds received by Administrative Agent. Any such payment shall be subject to Administrative Agent’s right of offset for any amounts due from such Lender under the Loan Documents. From and after the due date for payment by Lenders, such payment shall bear interest computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days, for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues, for three (3) Business Days at the Federal Funds Rate and thereafter at the interest rate then applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans until such defaulted sum is Paid in Full.

(b) Failure to Pay. If any Lender fails to pay any amount when due by it to Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, such amount shall bear interest from the due date until paid at the rate determined by Administrative Agent as customary in the banking industry for interbank compensation. In no event shall Borrowers be entitled to receive credit for any interest paid by a Lender to Administrative Agent.

(c) Recovery of Payments. If Administrative Agent pays any amount to a Secured Party in the expectation that a related payment will be received by Administrative Agent from an Obligor and such related payment is not received, then Administrative Agent may recover such amount from each Secured Party that received it. If Administrative Agent determines at any time that an amount received under any Loan Document must be returned to an Obligor or paid to any other Person pursuant to Applicable Law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term of any Loan Document, Administrative Agent shall not be required to distribute such amount to any Secured Party. If any amounts received and applied by Administrative Agent to any Obligations are later required to be returned by Administrative Agent pursuant to Applicable Law, each Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent, ON DEMAND, such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Pro Rata Share of the amounts required to be returned in accordance with Section 4.1, together with interest thereon, computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days, for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues, for three (3) Business Days at the Federal Funds Rate and thereafter at the interest rate then applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans until such defaulted sum is Paid in Full.

154

(d) Payments Made in Error.

(i) If Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender, LC Issuer or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, LC Issuer or Secured Party (any such Lender, LC Issuer, Secured Party or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that Administrative Agent has determined in its discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (ii)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, LC Issuer, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 12.10(d) and held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent, and such Lender, LC Issuer or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter (or such later date as Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, specify in writing), return to Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with then standard banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (i) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(ii) Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (i), each Lender, LC Issuer, Secured Party or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, LC Issuer or Secured Party (and each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, LC Issuer or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then, in each such case:

(A) it acknowledges and agrees that (1) in the case of clauses (x) and (y) of this Section 12.10(d)(ii), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (2) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of clause (z) of this Section 12.10(d)(ii)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

155

(B) such Lender, LC Issuer or Secured Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in clauses (x), (y) and (z) of this Section 12.10.(d)(ii)) notify Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.10(d). For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to Administrative Agent pursuant hereto shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant hereto or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(iii) Each Lender, LC Issuer or Secured Party hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, LC Issuer or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by Administrative Agent to such Lender, LC Issuer or Secured Party under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (ii).

(iv) (A) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (i), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then, effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as Administrative Agent in its discretion may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with Borrowers) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment Agreement (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment Agreement by reference pursuant to an MarkitClear or another electronic platform as to which Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to Borrowers or Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) Administrative Agent and Borrowers shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

156

(B) Subject to Section 13.1 (including, subject in all events, to any assignment consent or approval requirements (including from Borrowers or otherwise)), Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

(v) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, LC Issuer or Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender, LC Issuer or Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Credit Parties’ Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by Borrowers or any other Credit Party; provided that this Section 12.10(d)) shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of Borrowers relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding sub-clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by Administrative Agent from or on behalf of Borrowers for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(vi) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(vii) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 12.10(d) shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or LC Issuer the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

157

12.11 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. As a Lender, Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and remedies under the other Loan Documents as any other Lender, and the terms “Lenders,” “Required Lenders,” or any similar term, as and when used herein or in any other Loan Document, unless otherwise expressly provided, shall include Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender. Each of Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, be a Bank Product Provider to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial or other advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Borrowers and their Affiliates, as if Administrative Agent were any other bank, without any duty to account therefor (including any fees or other consideration received in connection therewith) to the other Lenders. In their individual capacity, Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrowers, their Affiliates and their Account Debtors (including information subject to confidentiality obligations), and each Lender agrees that Administrative Agent and its Affiliates shall be under no obligation to provide such information to Lenders if acquired in such individual capacity and not as Administrative Agent hereunder.

12.12 [Reserved].

12.13 Bank Product Providers. Notwithstanding any term of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, Bank Product Obligations owed to any Lender (other than any owed to PNC and its Affiliates) shall be excluded from the benefits of clauses seventh and eighth of Section 5.5(a) unless such Lender, in its capacity as a Bank Product Provider, has delivered to Administrative Agent a Secured Party Designation Notice in respect thereof; provided, that each holder of Bank Product Obligations not party to this Agreement as a Lender (other than any Affiliate of PNC) shall be excluded from all benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including Section 5.5(a), unless such Bank Product Provider has delivered to Administrative Agent a Secured Party Designation Notice in regard thereto; provided, further, that, unless otherwise approved by Administrative Agent, no Secured Party Designation Notice may be delivered by any Lender or other Person (other than an Affiliate of PNC) to Administrative Agent if an Event of Default then exists. Each Bank Product Provider not a party to this Agreement as a Lender (other than any Affiliate of PNC), by its delivery of any such Secured Party Designation Notice, shall be deemed to have agreed to be bound by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in relation to its Bank Products identified in such notice, to have agreed to perform in accordance with its terms all the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Bank Product Provider, and to have appointed and authorized Administrative Agent to act as its agent in connection therewith to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are incidental thereto. Each holder of Bank Product Obligations (including any not otherwise a party hereto) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Administrative Agent Indemnitees, to the extent not reimbursed by Credit Parties, against all Claims that may be incurred by or asserted against any Administrative Agent Indemnitee in connection with the Bank Product Obligations of such Bank Product Provider. Anything contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, no Bank Product Provider, in its capacity as such, will create (or be deemed to have created) in its favor any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the Obligations of any Borrower or any other Credit Party under the Loan Documents except as otherwise may be expressly provided herein or in the other Loan Documents. Furthermore, it is understood and agreed that each Bank Product Provider, in its capacity as such, shall not have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral, or to any notice of or consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of the provisions hereof or of the other Loan Documents), other than in its capacity (if any) as a Lender and, in any event, only as expressly provided herein or therein.

158

12.14 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Other than as set forth in Section 12.2, 12.7 and 12.10(d), this Section 12 is an agreement solely among Administrative Agent, LC Issuer, Lenders and the other Secured Parties and shall survive Payment in Full of the Obligations. Other than as set forth in Section 12.2, 12.7 and 12.10(d), this Section 12 does not confer any rights or benefits upon Credit Parties, any Obligor or any other Person, and no Credit Party, Obligor or other Person shall have any standing to enforce this Section 12. As between Credit Parties and Administrative Agent, any action that Administrative Agent may take under any Loan Documents or with respect to any Obligations shall be conclusively presumed to have been authorized and directed by LC Issuer, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, as applicable.

12.15 Certifications From Lenders and Participants; PATRIOT Act; No Reliance.

(a) PATRIOT Act Certifications. Each Lender or assignee or Participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to Administrative Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender, assignee or Participant is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations: (1) within ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date, and (2) as such other times as are required under the PATRIOT Act.

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

12.16 Bankruptcy.

(a) Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any Insolvency Proceeding relative to any Credit Party, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or LC Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise: (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders, LC Issuer and Administrative Agent (including any claim for compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders, LC Issuer and Administrative Agent and their

159

respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due Lenders, LC Issuer and Administrative Agent arising hereunder) allowed in such Insolvency Proceeding; and (ii) to collect and receive any monies or other Property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and LC Issuer to make such payments directly to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders and/or LC Issuer, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent hereunder.

(b) Credit Bids. The holders of the Obligations hereby irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of all or some of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure, strict foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 thereof, or any similar Applicable Law in any other jurisdictions to which a Credit Party is subject, or (b) at any sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of Debt conducted by (or with the consent of, or at the direction of) Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any Applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the holders thereof shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or Debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle(s) used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such credit bid (i) Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle(s) (provided that any actions by Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle(s), including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and (ii) to the extent that any Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (whether as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Debt that is credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the holders of the Obligations pro rata and the Equity Interests or Debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled without the need for any Lender or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

SECTION 13

ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS

13.1 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Binding Effect. Subject to Section 6.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Administrative Agent and when Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto as of the Closing Date. Thereupon, the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and thereto

and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither any Borrower nor any other Credit Party (other than resulting from a merger of a Credit Party with and into another Credit Party that is otherwise permitted under this Agreement) may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Documents except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1(d) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 13.1(e); and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void ab initio. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, whether expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 13.1(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees and any other express third party beneficiaries) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(b) Assignments by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments, Loans and obligations hereunder at the time owing to it) and the other Loan Documents; provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it (in each case with respect to any credit facility) or contemporaneous assignments to Approved Funds that equal at least the amounts specified in Section 13.1(b)(i)(B) in the aggregate), or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, or if PNC is the assignor, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any event not described in Section 13.1(b)(i)(A), the aggregate amount of the Commitments (which for this purpose includes Loans and Obligations in respect thereof outstanding thereunder) or, if any of the Commitments are not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans and other Obligations of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to Administrative Agent or, if a “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $2,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of any Revolving Commitments and/or Revolving Loans, unless each of Administrative Agent and, so long as no Specified Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Borrower Representative otherwise consents (with any such consent of Borrower Representative not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Commitments and Loans assigned.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 13.1(b)(i)(B) and, in addition thereto:

(A) the consent of Borrower Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Specified Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is made by PNC or is made by any Lender other than PNC to any other Lender, or to an Affiliate of a Lender or to an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender; provided that Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment requiring its consent unless it shall object thereto by written notice to Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received written notice thereof;

161

(B) the consent of Administrative Agent shall be required unless such assignment is made by PNC or is made by any Lender other than PNC to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender;

(C) the consent of the LC Issuer shall be required for any assignment in respect of the assignment of any Revolving Commitment; and

(D) the consent of the Swing Line Lender shall be required for any assignment in respect of the assignment of any Revolving Commitment.

(iv) Assignment Agreement. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee in an amount determined by Administrative Agent, unless waived, in whole or in part by Administrative Agent in its discretion. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and any applicable tax forms as required under Section 14.3(g).

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made by any Lender to (A) any Borrower or other Credit Party or any of a Borrower’s or a Credit Party’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this Section 13.1(b)(v).

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made by any Lender to a natural person.

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. 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 Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (that may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or sub-participations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of Borrower Representative and Administrative Agent, the applicable Pro Rata Share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the 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 Administrative Agent, each LC Issuer, each Swing Line Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Pro Rata Share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Revolving Commitment. 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 Section 13.1, then, the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. In addition to the foregoing, an assignment fee in the minimum amount of $3,500 shall be payable by any assigning Lender to Administrative Agent with respect to each assignment, unless waived by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

162

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.1(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, be released from its obligations (other than its confidentiality obligations) under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 14.2, Section 14.3 and Section 15.3 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent 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 that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s having been a Defaulting Lender. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will execute and deliver on request, at their own expense, Notes to the assignee evidencing the interests taken by way of assignment hereunder. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.1(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 13.1(d).

(c) Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States, 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 and Obligations 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 Borrowers, 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 and the other Loan Documents. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower Representative and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or a Borrower or other Credit Party or any of a Borrower’s or other Credit Party’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (subject to the foregoing prohibitions, each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that, notwithstanding the sale of such participation, (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) Borrowers, Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 15.3 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s). Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Sections 14.2(a)(iii) and 14.2(a)(iv) of that affects such Participant. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 14.1, 14.2 and 14.3 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 14.3 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 14.3 shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.1(b); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to

163

the provisions of Section 14.4 as if it were an assignee under Section 13.1(b); and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 14.2 or 14.3, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation pursuant hereto agrees, at Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 14.4 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 15.6 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 5.6 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers, 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, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, or any promissory notes evidencing its interests hereunder, to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 14

YIELD PROTECTION

14.1 Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a) Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. In the event that Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have reasonably determined that:

(i) reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Term SOFR Rate for any Interest Period;

(ii) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant maturity are not available, with respect to an outstanding Term SOFR Rate Loan, a proposed Term SOFR Rate Loan, or a proposed conversion of a Base Rate Loan into a Term SOFR Rate Loan;

(iii) the making, maintenance or funding of any Term SOFR Rate Loan has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by Administrative Agent or such Lender in good faith with any Applicable Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Relevant Governmental Body or with any request or directive of any such Relevant Governmental Body (whether or not having the force of law), or

164

(iv) the Term SOFR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of the funding, establishment, or maintenance of any Term SOFR Rate Loan during the applicable Interest Period, and Lenders have provided notice of such determination to Administrative Agent, then Administrative Agent shall give Borrower Representative prompt written or telephonic notice of such determination. If such notice is given prior to a Benchmark Replacement Date, (i) any such requested Term SOFR Rate Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan, unless Borrower Representative shall notify Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such proposed borrowing, that its request for such borrowing shall be cancelled or made as an unaffected type of Term SOFR Rate Loan, (ii) any Base Rate Loan or Term SOFR Rate Loan which was to have been converted to an affected type of Term SOFR Rate Loan shall be continued as or converted into a Base Rate Loan, or, if Borrower Representative shall notify Administrative Agent, no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed conversion, shall be maintained as an unaffected type of Term SOFR Rate Loan, and (iii) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Rate Loans shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan, or, if Borrower Representative shall notify Administrative Agent, no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such affected Term SOFR Rate Loan, shall be converted into an unaffected type of Term SOFR Rate Loan, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period for such affected Term SOFR Rate Loans (or sooner, if any Lender cannot continue to lawfully maintain such affected Term SOFR Rate Loan). Until such notice has been withdrawn, Lenders shall have no obligation to make an affected type of Term SOFR Rate Loan or maintain outstanding affected Term SOFR Rate Loans and no Borrower shall have the right to convert a Base Rate Loan or an unaffected type of Term SOFR Rate Loan into an affected type of Term SOFR Rate Loan.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(i) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Loan Document (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any agreement executed in connection with an Interest Rate Hedge shall be deemed not to be an “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 14.1(b)), if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (A) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any Loan Document and (B) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any Loan Document so long as Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

165

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

(iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrower Representative and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. Administrative Agent will notify Borrower Representative of, (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (d) below and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Administrative Agent or, if applicable, Borrower Representative or any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section, 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 Loan Document except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section.

(c) Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. Borrowers shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid or calculated to be due and payable by such Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Term SOFR Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender sustains: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of any Term SOFR Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a telephonic request for borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation of any Term SOFR Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation or a telephonic request for conversion or continuation; (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its Term SOFR Rate Loans occurs on any day prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise), including as a result of an assignment in connection with the replacement of a Lender pursuant to Section 14.4(b); or (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Term SOFR Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by Borrowers. A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for breakage or otherwise, as specified herein, and the circumstances giving rise thereto shall be delivered to Borrower Representative and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In the absence of any such manifest error, Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof. Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 14.1 for any such amounts incurred more than six

166

(6) months prior to the date that such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ delivers to Borrower Representative the foregoing certificate.

14.2 Increased Costs.

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or LC Issuer;

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender or LC Issuer any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender, LC Issuer or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, such LC Issuer or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, LC Issuer or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, LC Issuer or other Recipient, Credit Parties will pay to such Lender, LC Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, LC Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital and Liquidity Requirements. If any Lender (including Swing Line Lender) or LC Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or LC Issuer or any lending office of such Lender or LC Issuer or such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity ratios or requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender hereunder or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or LC Issuer or such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time Credit Parties will pay to such Lender or LC Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or LC Issuer or such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or LC Issuer setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or LC Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 14.2(a) and 14.2(b) and the circumstances giving rise thereto shall be delivered to Borrower Representative and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In the absence of any such manifest error, Credit Parties shall pay such Lender or LC Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

167

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or LC Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 14.2 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that Credit Parties shall not be required to compensate a Lender or LC Issuer pursuant to this Section 14.2 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender or LC Issuer, as the case may be, delivers to Borrowers the certificate referenced in Section 14.2(c) and notifies Borrower Representative of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s or LC Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

14.3 Taxes.

(a) Certain Terms. For purposes of this Section 14.3, and without limitation, the term “Lender” shall include LC Issuer and the term “Applicable Law” shall include FATCA.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, without any deduction or withholding for, any Taxes, except as otherwise may be required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then, the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then, the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 14.3) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) Tax Indemnification. The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 14.3) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to Borrower Representative by a Recipient (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

168

(e) Lender Indemnity. Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent and make payment to Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.1(d) relating to the maintenance of a participant register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any 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 Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes 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 Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this Section 14.3(e).

(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 14.3, such Credit Party shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of a return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

(g) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(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 Borrower Representative and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower Representative or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower Representative or 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 Borrower Representative or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower Representative or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower Representative or Administrative Agent to determine whether 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 clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is a U.S. Person,

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

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower Representative and 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 Borrower Representative or Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

169

(i) 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 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;

(ii) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(iii) 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 I-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 Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN (or W-8BEN-E, as applicable) ; or

(iv) 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 W-8BEN-E, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2 or I-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 I-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 Borrower Representative and 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 Borrower Representative or 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 Borrower Representative or 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 U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by 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 Borrower Representative and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower Representative or 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 Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower Representative and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has complied with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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 Borrower Representative and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by Applicable Law, at no time shall Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If any indemnified party determines, in its discretion exercised in Good Faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 14.3 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 14.3), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 14.3 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of the indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this clause (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 14.3(h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 14.3(h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 14.3(h) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 14.3 shall survive the resignation or replacement of 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.

14.4 Mitigation Obligations; Designation of a Different Lending Office.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 14.2, or requires any Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to such Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of such Lender pursuant to Section 14.3, then such Lender shall (at the request of Borrowers) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 14.2 or Section 14.3, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment ON DEMAND.

171

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 14.2, or if a Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 14.3 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 14.4(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then,    Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 15.2), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 14.2 or Section 14.3) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if such other Lender accepts such assignment); provided that: (i) Borrowers shall have paid to Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 13.1(b); (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Obligations, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 14.1) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts); (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 14.2 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 14.3, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; (iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law; and (v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. A Non-Consenting Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 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 that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Notices and other communications sent by telecopier shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient). Notices and other communications delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in Section 15.1(b), shall be effective as provided in Section 15.1(b).

(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the LC Issuer hereunder or under any other Loan Document may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including, without limitation, an Approved Electronic Communication) pursuant to procedures adopted or approved by Administrative Agent from time to time, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or the LC Issuer if such Lender or the LC Issuer, as applicable, has notified Administrative Agent and Borrower Representative that it is incapable of receiving such notices and other communications by electronic communication. Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures adopted or approved by it, provided that adoption or approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient.

(c) Change of Address, Etc. Any party hereto may change its address, telecopier number or e-mail address for notices and other communications hereunder and under any other Loan Documents by written notice to the other parties hereto in the manner prescribed in Section 15.1(a).

(d) Platform.

(i) Each Credit Party agrees that Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available to the LC Issuer and the Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”), at Borrowers’ expense. “Communications” (as used in this clause (d)) means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Credit Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein that is distributed to Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties, including Administrative Agent Professionals (individually, an “Agent Party,” and, collectively, the “Agent Parties”), any Lender or the LC Issuer by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section 15.1, including through the Platform.

173

(ii) The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim any liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to Borrowers or the other Credit Parties, any Lender or any other Person for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental, exemplary or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Borrower’s, any other Credit Party’s or Administrative Agent’s transmission of Communications through the Platform.

(iii) Each Credit Party further agrees that certain of the Lenders may not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Credit Parties or their securities (each, to such extent, a “Public Lender”). The Credit Parties shall be deemed to have authorized the Agent Parties and the Lenders to treat any Communications marked “PUBLIC” as not containing any material non- public information with respect to the Credit Parties or their securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws. All Communications marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor” (or another similar term). The Agent Parties, the Credit Parties and the Lenders shall treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor” (or such other similar term).

(iv) Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one delegate 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” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to any Credit Party or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

15.2 Amendments.

(a) Consent; Amendment; Waiver. None of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any term hereof or thereof may be amended orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the Required Lenders, or in the case of Loan Documents executed by Administrative Agent (and not the other Lenders), signed by Administrative Agent and approved by the Required ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and, in the case of an amendment, also by Credit Parties (or Borrower Representative acting on their behalf); provided, however, that:

(i) without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, no modification shall be effective with respect to any provision in a Loan Document that relates to any rights, duties, or discretion of Administrative Agent; and without the prior written consent of Swing Line Lender and Administrative Agent, no amendment or waiver with respect to the provisions of Section 2.3 shall be effective;

174

(ii) without the prior written consent of LC Issuer and Administrative Agent, no modification shall be effective with respect to any LC Obligations, the definitions of “LC Conditions” or “Defaulting Lender” (except to be more inclusive of the facts and circumstances that would cause a Lender to become a Defaulting Lender) or the terms of Sections 2.4 and 6.2(e) or that constitutes a waiver of any LC Condition or the condition precedent set forth in Section 6.2(e) (to the extent it relates to the issuance of or any amendment or other modification of or to a Letter of Credit);

(iii) without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, including a Defaulting Lender but subject to Section 14.1, no modification shall be effective that would (A) increase the Commitment of such Lender (or reinstate any Commitment terminated pursuant to Section 2.1(c)); (B) reduce the amount of, or waive, delay or extend the payment of, or forgive the payment of, any principal, interest or fees payable to such Lender (except as provided in Section 4.2); provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of Borrowers to pay interest at the Default Rate during the existence of an Event of Default and to modify Section 14.1; (C) extend the Stated Revolving Commitment Termination Date; (D) make (or permit the payment of) any Loan, interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document in any currency other than a currency expressly provided herein or in any other Loan Document for such payment; or (E) amend or otherwise modify this clause (iii);

(v) without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders (except a Defaulting Lender), increase the advance rates or amend the definition of “Borrowing Base” (or any defined term used in such definition) if the effect of such amendment is to increase borrowing availability; provided that the foregoing shall not impair the ability of Administrative Agent to add, remove, reduce or increase any Reserves;

(vi) without the prior written consent of each Revolving Lender (except a Defaulting Lender), amend the definition “Required Lenders”; and

(vii) without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, amend any provision in a Loan Document for which Required Lenders’ consent is required.

175

The foregoing notwithstanding (1) this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended to increase the interest rate or any fees hereunder with the consent of Administrative Agent and Credit Parties (or Borrower Representative, acting on their behalf) only; (2) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended to reflect definitional, technical, and conforming modifications to the extent necessary to effectuate any increase in the Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.1(f) with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, Borrowers (or Borrower Representative, acting on their behalf) and each Lender or Eligible Assignee participating in such increase pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and Borrowers (or Borrower Representative, acting on their behalf) without the consent of any other Lender or LC Issuer; (3) modifications to the Loan Documents may be made to the extent necessary to grant a security interest in additional Collateral to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and affected Credit Parties (or Borrower Representative, acting on their behalf) only pursuant to documentation satisfactory to Administrative Agent and such Credit Parties (or Borrower Representative, acting on their behalf) without the consent of any Lender or LC Issuer; (4) only the consent of Administrative Agent shall be required to amend Appendix A to reflect assignments of the Revolving Commitment and Loans in accordance with this Agreement; (5) modifications of a Loan Document that deal solely with the rights and duties of Lenders, Administrative Agent, and/or LC Issuer as among themselves shall not require the consent of any Credit Party; (6) modifications of a Loan Document to cure or correct administrative errors or omissions, or any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, or to effect or reflect administrative changes may be made by Administrative Agent and Credit Parties (or Borrower Representative, acting on their behalf) without the consent of any other party to the Loan Documents, so long as (A) such modification does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender in any material respect and (B) all Lenders shall have received at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and Administrative Agent shall not have received within five (5) Business Days after the date of receipt of such notice to the Lenders a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such modification,    (7) if this Agreement or any Loan Document contains any blank spaces, such as for dates or amounts, Credit Parties and Lenders hereby authorize and direct Administrative Agent to complete such blank spaces according to the terms upon which the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby were contemplated, (8) only the consent of the parties to the Auto Borrow Agreement, the Fee Letter or any agreement relating to a Bank Product shall be required for any modification of such agreement, and any non-Lender that is party to any agreement relating to a Bank Product shall have no right to participate in any manner in modification of any other Loan Document; and (9) Administrative Agent (acting alone) may make the modifications contemplated by Section 14.1(h)(ii).

(b) Amendment and Restatement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended and restated without the consent of any Lender (but with the consent of Credit Parties (or Borrower Representative, acting on their behalf) and Administrative Agent) if, upon giving effect to such amendment and restatement, such Lender shall no longer be a party to this Agreement (as so amended and restated), the Commitments of such Lender shall have terminated (but such Lender shall be entitled to the benefit of Sections 14, 15.3, and 15.4), such Lender shall have no other Commitment or other obligation hereunder and shall have been Paid in Full all Obligations owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement. Any waiver or consent granted by Administrative Agent, LC Issuer or Lender shall not constitute a modification of this Agreement, except to the extent expressly provided in such waiver or consent, or constitute a course of dealing by such Persons at variance with the terms of the Agreement such as to require further notice by such Persons of such their intent to require strict adherence to the terms of the Agreement in the future.

176

(c) Strict Compliance. Administrative Agent, LC Issuer; and the Lenders expressly reserve the right to require strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement and each other Loan Document. No waiver or course of dealing shall be established by (i) the failure or delay of Administrative Agent, LC Issuer or any Lender to require strict performance of any Credit Party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or to exercise any rights or remedies with respect to Collateral or otherwise; (ii) the making of any Loan or issuance of any Letter of Credit during a Default, Event of Default or other failure to satisfy any conditions precedent; or (iii) acceptance by Administrative Agent, LC Issuer or any Lender of performance by any Credit Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in a manner other than that specified herein or therein.

(d) Payment for Consents. No Credit Party will, directly or indirectly, pay any remuneration or other thing of value, whether by way of additional interest, fee, or otherwise, to any Lender in its capacity as a Lender hereunder as consideration for any consent by such Lender with respect to any amendment, waiver of other modification of or to any Loan Document, unless such remuneration or thing of value is concurrently paid, on substantially the same terms, on a Pro Rata basis, to all Lenders providing their consent. For avoidance of doubt, the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any fees paid to Administrative Agent in its capacity as Administrative Agent in such regard.

(e) Non-Consenting Lender.

(i) Each Borrower, LC Issuer and each Lender (including any Non-Consenting Lender) grants to Administrative Agent the option (without any obligation, however), in its capacity as a Lender, to purchase all (but not less than all) of a Non-Consenting Lender’s portion of the Commitments, the Loans, and LC Obligations owing to it and any Notes held by it and all of its rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at a price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and LC Obligations for unreimbursed draws payable to such Non-Consenting Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest on such Loans and any accrued but unpaid commitment fee arising under Section 3.2(b) and Letter of Credit Fees arising under Section 3.2(c) owing to such Non-Consenting Lender plus the amount necessary to Cash Collateralize any Letters of Credit issued by such Non-Consenting Lender (if any). If Administrative Agent exercises its option under this Section 15.2, the Non-Consenting Lender shall promptly execute and deliver to Administrative Agent any Assignment Agreement and other agreements and documentation that Administrative Agent shall determine are necessary to effect such assignment and that are provided to such Non-Consenting Lender. If the Non-Consenting Lender fails for whatever reason to execute and delivery such Assignment Agreement, other agreements or other documentation within three (3) Business Days after the date of its receipt thereof, then, Administrative Agent shall have the power (at its election, but without obligation) to do so as attorney-in-fact for such Non-Consenting Lender, and any execution and delivery of such Assignment Agreement, such other agreements and such other documentation by Administrative Agent under such power of attorney shall binding upon such Non-Consenting Lender. Administrative Agent may assign its purchase option and powers under this Section 15.2 to any Eligible Assignee if such assignment otherwise complies with the requirements of Section 13.1.

(ii) Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, replace such Non-Consenting Lender in accordance with Section 14.4.

15.3 Indemnity; Expenses. EACH CREDIT PARTY SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, SAVE, PROTECT, AND HOLD HARMLESS THE INDEMNITEES AGAINST ANY “CLAIMS” AND “EXTRAORDINARY EXPENSES” (AS SUCH TERMS ARE DEFINED IN SECTION 1.1) THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE; provided, however, that in no event shall any Credit Party have any obligation thereunder to indemnify, defend or hold harmless an

177

Indemnitee with respect to any Claim or Extraordinary Expense that is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment binding on such Indemnitee to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. In addition to all other Obligations, the obligations and liabilities described in this Section 15.3 shall (a) constitute Obligations; (b) be in addition to, and cumulative with, any other indemnification provisions set forth elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (c) be secured by the Collateral; (d) be due and payable by Credit Parties promptly following written demand therefor; (e) be chargeable against Borrowers’ in the manner set forth in Section 4.1(b) (provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to charge such amounts in such manner); and (f) survive termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In addition to the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time or from time to time while any Event of Default is continuing, to require that the obligations and liabilities described in this Section 15.3 be Cash Collateralized.

15.4 Reimbursement Obligations. Without limiting the terms of Section 15.3, Credit Parties shall reimburse Administrative Agent for all Extraordinary Expenses and for all legal, accounting, appraisal, consulting, and other fees, costs, and expenses incurred by it in connection with (a) negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including any amendment, forbearance, waiver, restatement, supplement, waiver, consent or other modification thereof; (b) administration of and actions relating to any Collateral, this Agreement, any Loan Document, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including any actions taken to establish, perfect or maintain priority of Administrative Agent’s Liens in and to any Collateral, to maintain any insurance required hereunder, or to verify (or preserve) the existence or value of Collateral); (c) use of any Platform or Register, (d) credit investigations and background checks; and (e) subject to the limits of Section 8.4(b), each inspection, field audit, field examination, or appraisal with respect to any Obligor, Subsidiary, or Collateral, whether prepared by Administrative Agent’s personnel or a third party. Credit Parties also shall pay all Extraordinary Expenses of Administrative Agent and all legal (including all costs of internal counsel or, in lieu thereof, a documentation fee comparable in amount thereto), accounting, appraisal, consulting, and other fees, costs, and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and each Lender in connection with the enforcement of, or any “workout,” “restructuring,” or an Insolvency Proceeding concerning any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or in exercising rights or remedies under the Loan Documents), or defending any of the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether a lawsuit or other Adverse Proceeding is brought, or in taking any enforcement action or any remedial action with respect to any Collateral. The parties agree that the costs and expenses indemnified by the Credit Parties hereunder shall not include expenses relating to disputes solely between or among the Lenders, in their respective capacities as such, or any dispute solely between or among a Lender, in its capacity as such, and its Affiliates (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, expenses arising (i) in connection with disputes involving Administrative Agent (in its capacity as such) or the LC Issuer (in its capacity as such) on the one hand, and one or more Lenders, or one or more of their Affiliates, on the other hand) or (ii) from acts or omissions of any Credit Parties or their Subsidiaries.

15.5 Performance of Credit Parties’ Obligations. Administrative Agent may, in its discretion at any time and from time to time, at Credit Parties’ expense, pay any amount or do any act required of a Credit Party under any Loan Document or otherwise requested by Administrative Agent to (a) enforce any Loan Documents or collect any Obligations; (b) protect, insure, maintain or realize upon any Collateral; or (c) defend or maintain the validity or priority of Administrative Agent’s Liens in any Collateral, including any payment of any claim by any Third Party Claimant (including any judgment, insurance premium, warehouse charge, finishing or processing charge, or landlord claim), or any discharge of a Lien. All payments, costs, and expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) of Administrative Agent under this Section 15.5 shall be reimbursed to Administrative Agent by Credit Parties, promptly following written demand therefor, with interest from the date incurred to the date of payment thereof at the Default Rate. Any payment made or action taken by Administrative Agent under this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default or to exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.

178

15.6 Setoff. From and after the occurrence of any Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, in addition to (and not in limitation of) any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law to Administrative Agent, LC Issuer, any Lender, or, subject to the provisions of Section 13.1(d), any Participant, each subsequent holder of any of the Obligations, and each of their respective Affiliates (collectively, for purposes of this Section 15.6, the “Setoff Parties” and, individually, a “Setoff Party”), is hereby authorized, subject to the prior consent of Administrative Agent, by each Credit Party to setoff and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, including Debt evidenced by certificates of deposit, in each case, whether matured or un-matured, but excluding (x) any amounts held by any Setoff Party in any escrow payroll, trust, tax or fiduciary account and (y) without the prior consent of Administrative Agent, any Collection Account, and any other Debt at any time held or owing by any Setoff Party to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party, against the Obligations as provided in this Agreement, irrespective of whether (a) any demand for such Obligations has been made; or (b) the Obligations have been accelerated as contemplated in Section 11.2; or (c) such Obligations are contingent or un-matured. Any sums obtained by any Setoff Party shall be subject to the requirements for application of payments to the Obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The rights granted to each Setoff Party under this Section 15.6 may be exercised at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Credit Party or any other Person, except that each Setoff Party shall obtain the prior consent of Administrative Agent and shall notify Administrative Agent promptly (but in any event within one (1) Business Day) after exercising such right of setoff, specifying the amount thereof. Each Credit Party hereby waives any right that it may have as a matter of Applicable Law to any such notice. In addition to the foregoing, and notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent, LC Issuer, Swing Line Lender and the other Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

15.7 Independence of Covenants; Severability. All covenants hereunder and under any other Loan Document shall be given independent effect so that if any particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or otherwise would be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Applicable Law. To the extent any such provision is found to be invalid or unenforceable under Applicable Law in a given jurisdiction, then (a) such provision shall be ineffective only to such extent; (b) the remainder of such provision and the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction; and (c) such provision shall remain in full force and effect in any other jurisdiction.

15.8 Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms. The parties to this Agreement and each other Loan Document acknowledge that different provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may contain requirements, limitations, restrictions, or permissions relating to the same subject matter and, in such case, all of such provisions shall be deemed to be cumulative (rather than instead of one another) and must be satisfied or performed, as applicable. Except as otherwise provided herein or in another Loan Document (by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement), to the extent any provision contained in this Agreement conflicts directly with any provision in another Loan Document, then, the provision in this Agreement shall control.

179

15.9 Counterparts.

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