The Borrowers may make only one borrowing under the Commitments, which shall be on the Closing Date. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01(a) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Subject to Section 2.06, all amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Loans shall be paid in full no later than the Maturity Date. Each Commitment shall terminate immediately and without further action on the Closing Date, after giving effect to the funding of such Commitment on such date.

(b)Borrowing Mechanics.

(i)The Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Agent a fully executed Loan Notice no later than (x) 3:00 p.m. on the date that is one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date with respect to Base Rate Loans and (y) 3:00 p.m. on the date that is one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date with respect to SOFR Loans (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Agent) which Loan Notice may be conditioned upon the substantially simultaneous consummation of the Beat Acquisition. Promptly upon receipt by the Agent of such Loan Notice, the Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed Credit Extension.

(ii)Each Lender shall make its Loan available to the Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. on the Closing Date, by wire transfer of same day funds in Dollars, at the Agent’s Office designated by the Agent. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein, the Agent shall make the proceeds of the Loans available to the Borrowers on the Closing Date not later than 3:00 p.m. by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Loans received by the Agent from Lenders to be credited to the account of the applicable Borrower at the Agent’s Office or to such other account or accounts (i.e., such Loan proceeds may be allocated across several accounts) as may be designated in writing to the Agent by the Borrower Representative.

Section 2.2.Pro Rata Shares.

All Loans shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder.

Section 2.3.Conversion and Continuation of Loans.

(a)Except as otherwise provided herein, (i) each conversion of Loans from one Interest Type to the other, and each continuation of SOFR Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable written notice to the Agent in the form of a Conversion/Continuation Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Representative, (ii) such Conversion/Continuation Notice must be received by the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans and (iii) a SOFR Loan may be continued or converted

only on the last day of an Interest Period for such SOFR Loan. The Agent shall determine the interest rate that shall apply to any converted or continued SOFR Loans pursuant to Section 2.07(b).

(b)Each Conversion/Continuation Notice shall specify (i) whether the Borrower Representative is requesting a conversion of Loans from one Interest Type to the other, or a continuation of SOFR Loans, (ii) the requested date of the conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be converted or continued, (iv) the Interest Type of Loans to which existing Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto (each such Interest Period shall comply with the provisions of the definition of “Interest Period”).

(c)Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if (i) an Event of Default of the type described in Section 8.01(a), (f) or (g) has occurred and is continuing, unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent or (ii) any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Required Lenders have requested, each Loan will be converted into a Base Rate Loan at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.4.Notes; Loan Accounts.

(a)Each Loan made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more loan accounts or records maintained by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and by the Agent in the ordinary course of business. The loan accounts or records maintained by the Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence in the absence of manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure so to record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the accounts and records of the Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. To the extent any such accounts are inconsistent with the Register, the Register shall govern absent manifest error.

(b)Upon the request of any Lender made through the Agent, instead of or in addition to loan accounts, the Loans made by each Lender may be evidenced by one or more Notes. Each Lender shall endorse on the schedules annexed to its Note the date, amount and maturity of each Loan deemed made by it and the amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrowers with respect thereto. Each such Lender is irrevocably authorized by the Borrowers to so endorse its Note and each Lender’s record shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the failure of a Lender to make, or an error in making, a notation thereon with respect to any Loan shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder or under any such Note to such Lender.

Section 2.5.Repayment of Loans.

The Loans, together with all other amounts owed hereunder with respect thereto, shall be Paid In Full no later than the Maturity Date.

Section 2.6.Optional and Mandatory Prepayments.

(B)Within one Business Day after any Net Proceeds are received by the Company in respect of the incurrence by the Company of (w) any indebtedness for borrowed money, (x) Capitalized Lease Liabilities, (y) Purchase Money Debt or (z) indebtedness evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or similar instruments, in each case incurred by the Company in an aggregate principal amount in excess of £20,000,000 (other than that certain £4,000,000 Overdraft Facility dated as of February 20, 2020 by and among the Company and Barclays Bank PLC), the Borrowers shall prepay 100% of outstanding Loans; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to so prepay the outstanding Loans if the Company incurs any of the foregoing types of indebtedness owing to the Parent or its Subsidiaries so long as, on or prior to the date prepayment is due, the holder of such Indebtedness has granted to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a perfected first-priority security interest in such Indebtedness as collateral security for the Payment in Full of the Obligations.

(ii)Asset Sales. Within five Business Days after any Net Proceeds in excess of $5,000,000 are received by the Parent, any Borrower or Everspan in respect of any Asset Sale, the Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Proceeds so received.

(e)Application of Prepayments. Any prepayment of any Loan pursuant to Section 2.06(a) and Section 2.06(d) shall be allocated among the Loans on a pro rata basis.

(f)Notice of Prepayments. The Borrower Representative shall notify the Agent in writing of any prepayment of any Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(a) and Section 2.06(d), (i) in the case of a SOFR Loan, not later than three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment and (ii) in the case of a Base Rate Loan, not later than 11:00 a.m. on the prepayment date. Each such notice shall be irrevocable (other than to the extent provided in connection with other transactions including the refinancing of any of the Obligations) and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Credit Extension or portion thereof to be prepaid.

(g)Application of Prepayments of Loans to Base Rate Loans and SOFR Loans. Any prepayment of Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to SOFR Loans, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 3.04.

(h)Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.06 to the contrary, any prepayment of any Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 2.06(d) shall not be required (i) in the case of any such Net Proceeds funded into escrow, until such Net Proceeds are released from escrow and (ii) if such prepayment is prohibited under applicable law or regulation (including regulations of any insurance commission or similar Governmental Authority located in the jurisdiction in which any of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries that is authorized or admitted to carry on or otherwise transact in selling, issuing or underwriting insurance or reinsurance (each such subsidiary, a “Regulated Insurance Company” and, together with their respective subsidiaries, collectively, the “Insurance Subsidiaries” and each an “Insurance Subsidiary”) is domiciled, regarding financial assistance, corporate benefit, restrictions on upstreaming of cash intra-group and the fiduciary and statutory duties of the directors of the relevant subsidiaries); provided that, to the extent applicable, the Parent, the Borrowers and Everspan have used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain approvals from any applicable insurance commission or similar governmental authority to upstream the Net Proceeds subject to mandatory prepayment and such prepayment shall be excused only for so long as such approvals are pending or have been denied. The non-application of any such Net Proceeds as a result of the foregoing provisions will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default and such amounts, in the case of the events described in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence only, shall be available for working capital purposes of the Parent and its Subsidiaries.

Section 2.7.Interest.

(a)Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made until the date of repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as follows:

(i)if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or

(ii)if a SOFR Loan, at Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin.

(b)The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan, and the Interest Period with respect to any SOFR Loan, shall be selected by the Borrower Representative and notified to the Agent and Lenders pursuant to the applicable Loan Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be.

(c)In connection with SOFR Loans there shall be no more than five (5) Interest Periods outstanding at any time. In the event the Borrower Representative fails to specify between a Base Rate Loan or a SOFR Loan in the applicable Loan Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Loan shall be made as or, if outstanding as a SOFR Loan will be automatically continued on the last day of the then-current Interest Period for such Loan as, a SOFR Loan (or if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan will remain as a Base Rate Loan). In the event the Borrower Representative fails to specify an Interest Period for any SOFR Loan in the applicable Loan Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice (or fails to deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice within the time limits provided in Section 2.03(a)), the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. on each Interest Rate Determination Date, the Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the SOFR Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower Representative and each Lender. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Agent shall notify the Borrower Representative and the Lenders of any change in the Prime Rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

(d)[Reserved].

(e)[Reserved].

(f)Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(a), for so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, all overdue principal and interest payable on each Loan shall, without further notice, bear interest, after as well as before judgment to the extent permitted by law, at a rate per annum equal to 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding subsections of this Section. In addition, if any fee or other amount (other than principal or interest on any Loan) payable by the Borrowers pursuant to any Loan Document is not paid when due, whether upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment to the extent permitted by law, at a rate per annum equal to 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans as provided in the preceding subsections of this Section; provided that no amount of interest in excess of that provided for under paragraph (a) of this Section shall accrue or be payable pursuant to this Section 2.07(f) to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.

(g)Interest on each Loan shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.07(f) shall be payable on demand of the Agent, (ii) upon any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, interest accrued on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) upon any conversion of a SOFR Loan before the end of the current Interest Period therefor, interest accrued on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(h)Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrowers to any Lender hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required for any period for which interest is computed hereunder to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by such Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest that may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, and in such event the Borrowers shall pay such Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which 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 repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which 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, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the highest rate of interest that may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and the Borrowers to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the highest rate of interest that may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Borrowers.

Section 2.8.Fees.

(a)The Borrowers shall pay the following duration fees to the Agent, for the account of each Lender, on the following dates:

(i)on February 1, 2025, an amount equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s Loans outstanding on such date; and

(ii)on May 1, 2025, an amount equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s Loans outstanding on such date.

(b)In addition to any of the foregoing fees, the Borrowers agree to pay (or cause to be paid) to the Agent (or the other Persons entitled thereto) such other fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon in writing, including those set forth in the Fee Letter.

(c)All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Agent (or the other Persons entitled thereto). Fees owing and paid hereunder shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.9.Computation of Fees and Interest.

(a)All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Prime Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or such fees are computed from the first day thereof to the last day thereof.

(b)Each determination of an interest rate by the Agent shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Agent will, at the request of the Borrower Representative or any Lender, deliver to the Borrower Representative or such ▇▇▇▇▇▇, as the case may be, a statement showing the quotations used by the Agent in determining any interest rate and the resulting interest rate.

Section 2.10.Payments Generally.

(a)Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document, all payments to be made by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents shall be made without condition or deduction for any defense, set-off, recoupment or counterclaim. Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document, all payments to be made by the Borrowers under any Loan Document shall be made to the Agent for the account of the Lenders at the Agent’s Office, and shall be made in dollars and in immediately available funds, no later than 3:00 p.m. on the date specified in such Loan Document. The Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as expressly provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received. Any payment received by the Agent later than 3:00 p.m. shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day for purposes of any applicable interest or fee calculation.

(b)Unless any Borrower or any Lender has notified the Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Agent hereunder, that the Borrowers or such ▇▇▇▇▇▇, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrowers or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Agent in immediately available funds, then:

(i)if the Borrowers failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from

and including the date such amount was made available by the Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent in immediately available funds at the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect; and

(ii)if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Agent the amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Agent to the Borrowers to the date such amount is recovered by the Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at the customary rate set by the Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three (3) Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender pays such amount to the Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Credit Extension. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Agent’s demand therefor, the Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower Representative, and the Borrowers shall pay such amount to the Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the applicable rate for Base Rate Loans to the applicable Credit Extension. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments or to prejudice any rights that the Agent or the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

A notice of the Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c)If any Lender makes available to the Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article 2, and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by the Agent because the conditions to the extension of Loans set forth in Article 4 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d)The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan.

(e)Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

Section 2.11.Sharing of Payments by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.

(a)If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment (i) on account of any Obligations due and payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time resulting in such Lender receiving payment in excess of its ratable share (calculated according to the proportion of (x) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (y) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (ii) of or on account of any of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (calculated according to the proportion of (x) the amount of such Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such time to (y) the aggregate amount of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on

account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time, then in each case, such Lender shall (A) notify the Agent of such fact, and (B) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Obligations of the other Lenders due and payable or owing, as the case may be, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of such excess payments shall be shared by all such Lenders; provided that:

(i)if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii)the provisions of this Section 2.11(a) shall not be construed to apply to (I) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (II) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant.

(b)Each Obligor consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Obligor rights of setoff and counterclaim (subject to Section 11.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Obligor in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.12.Defaulting Lenders.

(a)Defaulting Lender Waterfall. 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, any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 8 or otherwise) or received by the Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.09 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower Representative may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement; third, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fifth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable Commitments. 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 pursuant to this Section 2.12(a) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(b)Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers and the Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon, as of the effective

date specified in such notice, and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the applicable Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ having been a Defaulting Lender.

Article 3
Taxes, Yield Protection And Illegality

Section 3.1.Taxes.

(a)Payments Free of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Obligor hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if any applicable withholding agent shall be required by applicable law to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the amount so payable by the applicable Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that after all such deductions or withholdings have been made (including deductions applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section) the Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c)Indemnification by the Borrowers. Without duplication of Section 3.01(a), the Borrowers shall indemnify the Agent and each Lender, on or before the date that is thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes in respect of payments by or on account of any obligation or any Obligor under any Loan Document or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) that are imposed on or payable by the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and reasonable expenses arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Representative by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. If the Borrowers reasonably believe that there is an appropriate basis to pursue a refund of any Indemnified Tax or Other Tax indemnified by the Borrowers under this Section 3.01(c), or for which any Obligor has paid additional amounts under Section 3.01, the Agent or the Lender (as applicable) shall, upon the Borrower Representative’s written request and at the Borrowers’ expense, pursue such refund; provided that the Agent or any Lender shall not be obligated to pursue any such refund if the Agent or such Lender reasonably determines in good faith that it would be materially disadvantaged or prejudiced, or subject to any out-of-pocket unreimbursed cost or expense, by pursuing such refund. Any refund described in the preceding sentence that is received by the Agent or any Lender shall be payable to the Borrowers to the extent provided in Section 3.01(f).

(d)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Obligor to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(e)Status of Lenders.

(i)Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and to the Agent, and the Agent shall deliver to the Borrower Representative, whenever reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable laws and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrowers or the Agent, as the case may be, (A) to determine whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) to determine, if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction and (C) to establish the Agent’s or such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of any payments to be made to the Agent or such Lender pursuant to any Loan Document or otherwise to establish the Agent’s or such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in an applicable jurisdiction. If any form, certification or other documentation provided by the Agent or a Lender pursuant to this Section 3.01(e) (including any of the specific documentation described below) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Agent in writing and shall promptly update or otherwise correct the affected documentation or promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Agent in writing that the Agent or such Lender is not legally eligible to do so. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B), (ii)(D) and (ii)(E) below) shall not be required if in the Agent’s or Lender’s reasonable good faith judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject the Agent or such Lender to any out-of-pocket unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the Agent or such Lender.

(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A)any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Agent duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Agent (in such number of signed originals as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon request of the Borrower Representative or the Agent) as will enable the Borrowers or the Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to U.S. federal backup withholding or information reporting requirements;

(B)each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to any payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Agent (in such number of signed originals 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 request of the Borrower

Representative or the Agent), ▇▇▇▇ completed and executed originals of whichever of the following is applicable:

(1)IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor thereto) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(2)IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor thereto) claiming that payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents (as applicable) constitute income that is effectively connected with such Foreign Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States,

(3)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Sections 881(c) of the Code (the “Portfolio Interest Exemption”), (x) a certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1, F-2, F-3 or F-4, as applicable (a “Tax Status Certificate”), to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3) (A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrowers or Parent, within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no payments to be received are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business and (y) IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor thereto), or

(4)where such Lender is a partnership (for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or otherwise not a beneficial owner (e.g., where such Lender has sold a participation), IRS Form W- 8IMY (or any successor thereto) and all required supporting documentation (including, where one or more of the underlying beneficial owner(s) is claiming the benefits of the Portfolio Interest Exemption, a Tax Status Certificate of such beneficial owner(s); provided that, if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and not a participating Lender, the Tax Status Certificate from the beneficial owner(s) may be provided by the Foreign Lender on behalf of the beneficial owner(s));

(C)any other form prescribed by applicable laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrowers or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made;

(D)each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Agent (in such number of duly completed and executed originals as shall be requested by the recipient), at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Agent (1) to comply with the Borrowers’ and/or the Agent’s obligations under FATCA, (2) to determine that such Lender has complied with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s obligations under FATCA and/or (3) to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from any payment under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents pursuant to FATCA. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement;

(E)the Agent shall deliver to the Borrower Representative on or prior to the date on which it becomes the Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon request of the Borrower Representative):

(1)▇▇▇▇ completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to any amounts payable to the Agent for its own account, and

(2)duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY with respect to any amounts payable to the Agent for the account of others, certifying that it is a “U.S. branch” and that all of the payments it receives for the account of others are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business within the United States and that it is using such form as evidence of its agreement with the Borrowers to be treated as a U.S. person with respect to such payments (and the Borrowers and the Agent agree to so treat the Agent as a U.S. person with respect to such payments as contemplated by Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv)(A) of the United States Treasury Regulations).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.01(e), no Lender shall be required to deliver any documentation that it is not legally eligible to provide.

(f)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Agent or any Lender determines, in its good faith discretion, that it has received a refund (whether received in cash or applied as an offset against other Taxes due) of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by an Obligor or with respect to which an Obligor has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly pay to the Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by an Obligor under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes), as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrowers, upon the request of the Agent or such Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority (other than any penalties arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or the Lender)) to the Agent or such Lender in the event the Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection (f), in no event will the Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, be required to pay any amount to the Borrowers pursuant to this subsection (f) the payment of which would place the relevant Lender or the Agent in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Lender or the Agent 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 subsection shall not be construed to require the Agent, or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.

(g)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(h)Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 3.01, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

Section 3.2.Illegality.

(a)If any Lender reasonably and in good faith determines that the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law, after the Closing Date, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make SOFR Loans, then, on notice thereof by the Lender to the Borrower Representative through the Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make SOFR Loans shall be suspended until such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ notifies the Agent and the Borrower Representative that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist (which such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to do promptly when such circumstances cease to exist).

(b)If a Lender reasonably and in good faith determines that it is unlawful for such Lender to maintain any SOFR Loan after the Closing Date in the circumstances set forth in Section 3.02(a), the Borrowers shall, upon its receipt of written notice of such fact and demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), convert such SOFR Loans of that Lender then outstanding on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if the Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if the Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loan and in the case of any conversion other than on the last day of such Interest Period thereof, pay amounts required by Section 3.04.

(c)If the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain SOFR Loans has been so terminated or suspended, the Borrower Representative may elect, by giving notice to the Lender through the Agent, that all Loans which would otherwise be made or maintained by the Lender as SOFR Loans shall instead be Base Rate Loans.

(d)Before giving any notice to the Agent under this Section 3.02, the affected Lender shall designate a different Lending Office with respect to its SOFR Loans if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice or making such demand and will not, in the judgment of the Lender, be illegal or otherwise materially disadvantageous to the Lender.

Section 3.3.Increased Costs and Reduction of Return.

(a)If any Lender reasonably and in good faith determines that, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance by that Lender with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), in each case after the Closing Date, there shall be any increase in the cost including Taxes (other than (i) Excluded Taxes and (ii) Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes that are covered by Section 3.01) to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any SOFR Loans, then the Borrowers shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, on or before the date that is thirty (30) days after written demand (with a copy of such demand to be sent to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased costs; provided that such Lender shall only be entitled to seek such additional amounts if such Lender is generally seeking the payment of similar additional amounts from similarly situated borrowers in comparable credit facilities (as certified by such Lender in the certificate delivered under Section 3.06); provided, further, that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender for any such increases in capital for any period more than 180 days prior to the date such Lender delivers such demand; provided, further that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III,

shall in each case be deemed to be a change in the law under clause (a)(i) above, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

(b)If any Lender reasonably and in good faith shall have determined that (i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (iv) compliance by the Lender (or its Lending Office) or any corporation controlling the Lender with any Capital Adequacy Regulation, in each case after the Closing Date, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by the Lender or any corporation controlling the Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its Commitment or Loans under this Agreement, then, on or before the date that is thirty (30) days after written demand by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Agent, the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender, from time to time as specified by the Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Lender for such increase; provided that such Lender shall only be entitled to seek such additional amounts if such Lender is generally seeking the payment of similar additional amounts from similarly situated borrowers in comparable credit facilities (as certified by such Lender in the certificate delivered under Section 3.06); provided, further, that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender for any such increases in capital for any period more than 180 days prior to the date such Lender delivers such demand.

Section 3.4.Funding Losses.

The Borrowers shall reimburse each Lender for any reasonable loss (other than loss of profits and the Applicable Margin) or expense which such Lender has actually incurred:

(a)if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a Credit Extension of any SOFR Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Loan Notice, or a conversion to or continuation of any SOFR Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Conversion/Continuation Notice;

(b)if any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its SOFR Loans occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan; or

(c)if any prepayment of any of its SOFR Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower Representative.

including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its SOFR Loans or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained, but excluding any administrative fee or other amount chargeable by such Lender for the calculation of such loss. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall be delivered to the Borrower Representative and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

Section 3.5.Inability to Determine Rates.

Subject to Section 3.08, if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any SOFR Loan:

(a)the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof; or

(b)the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Agent,

the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower Representative and each Lender.

Upon notice thereof by the Agent to the Borrower Representative, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower Representative to continue SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Agent (with respect to clause (b), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower Representative may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower Representative will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.04. Subject to Section 3.08, if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Base Rate Loans shall be determined by the Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the Agent revokes such determination

Section 3.6.Certificates of Lenders.

Any Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation under this Article 3 shall deliver to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to the Lender hereunder (including the certifications required in Sections 3.03(a) and (b)) and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers in the absence of demonstrable error. Such certificate shall set forth in reasonable detail the methodology used in determining the amount payable to the Lender.

Section 3.7.Substitution of Lenders; Mitigation.

If the Borrowers receive notice from any Lender of a claim for compensation under Section 3.01 or Section 3.03 or a claim pursuant to Section 3.02 or the Borrowers are 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 3.01, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower Representative) take such steps as may be reasonably available to it to mitigate the effects of the event giving rise to such claim or payment (provided that such Lender shall not be required to take any step that, in its reasonable judgment, would be materially disadvantageous to its business or operations or would require it to incur additional costs (unless the Borrowers agree to reimburse such Lender for the reasonable incremental out-of-pocket costs thereof)) and, if such Lender is unable to mitigate such effects to the Borrower Representative’s reasonable satisfaction, the Borrower Representative may upon notice to such Lender and the Agent (i) replace such Lender by causing such Lender to assign its Loans (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrowers in such instance) pursuant to Section 11.07(b) to one or more other Lenders or Eligible Assignees identified by the Borrower Representative or (ii) notwithstanding Section 2.11, terminate the applicable Commitments of such Lender and repay all Obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date; provided

that each such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it under the Loan Documents from the applicable assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts). Any Lender being replaced shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s outstanding Loans; provided that if such Lender does not comply with this Section 3.07 within one Business Day after the Borrower Representative’s request, compliance with this Section 3.07 shall not be required to effect such assignment.

Section 3.8.Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a)Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Agent and the Borrowers may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrowers so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 3.08(a)(i) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

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

(c)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent will promptly notify the 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.

Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.08, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.08.

(d)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-

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

(e)Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower Representative’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower Representative may revoke any pending request for a SOFR borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower Representative will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Agent and, in the event that the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent under Sections 2.07, 10.04 and 10.05.

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

Section 9.10.Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

The Lenders irrevocably authorize and instruct the Agent to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made) and the expiration or termination of all Commitments, (ii) that is transferred, sold or otherwise disposed of or to be transferred, sold or otherwise disposed of (other than to the Borrowers or the Guarantor) as part of or in connection with any transfer, sale or other disposal permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document; or (iii) subject to Section 11.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; and

Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Required ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property. In each case as specified in this Section 9.10, upon the receipt of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Representative certifying that such release is permitted hereunder (on which the Agent may conclusively rely without any further inquiry) the Agent will (and each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes and directs the Agent to), at the Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Obligor such documents or take any action as such Obligor may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.10.

Section 9.11.Indemnification of Agent-Related Persons.

Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective portions of the total Loans held on the date on which indemnification is sought, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; and provided, further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 9.11. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse each Agent-Related Person upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by such Agent-Related Person in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration,

modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that such Agent-Related Person is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrowers. The undertaking in this Section 9.11 shall survive the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Agent or any Agent-Related Person.

Section 9.12.Withholding Tax.

The Agent agrees to act as the U.S. federal withholding Tax agent with respect to all amounts payable by it under the Loan Documents. The Agent shall withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equal to any withholding Tax required to be withheld by any applicable law. If the IRS or any Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Agent did not properly withhold Tax from any amount paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent (to the extent that the Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Borrowers to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties, additions to Tax or interest thereon, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Government Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Agent under this Article 9. The agreements in this Article 9 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Loans and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this Agreement. Unless required by applicable laws, at no time shall the Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender.

Section 9.13.Certain ERISA Matters.

(a)Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Obligor, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i)such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments or this Agreement,

entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement,

(i)(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, or such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

(b)In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Obligor, that the Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

Section 9.14.Erroneous Payments.

(a)If the Agent (x) notifies a Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party (any such Lender, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the 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, 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 the Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 9.14 and held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, and such Lender 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 Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Agent the amount of any such 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 the 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 the Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with

banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b)Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, Secured Party or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party 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 the 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 the 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 the Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender 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:

(i)it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii)such Lender or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Agent pursuant to this Section 9.14(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Agent pursuant to this Section 9.14(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 9,14(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

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

(d)(i) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), 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 the 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 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 the Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans 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 the Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrower Representative) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to

such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower Representative or the Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the 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 which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) the Agent and the Borrowers shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) the Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment.

(ii) Subject to Section 11.07 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrowers or otherwise)), the 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 the 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 the 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 the Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

(e)The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the 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, the 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 or Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender 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 Obligors’ 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 the 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 the Borrowers or any other Obligor; provided that this Section 9.14 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 the 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 the Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding 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 the Agent from the Borrowers for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f)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 the

Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g)Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 9.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

Article 10
Guaranty

Section 10.1.Guaranty of the Obligations.

The Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranties to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties the due and punctual payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, demand, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of (i) the Bankruptcy Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) any other Debtor Relief Laws) on the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrowers, and all other Obligations from time to time owing to the Secured Parties by any Obligor under any Loan Document, in each case, strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

Section 10.2.Payment by Guarantor.

The Guarantor hereby agrees, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Secured Party may have at law or in equity against any Person, that upon the failure of any Borrower to pay in full any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other Debtor Relief Law), the Guarantor will promptly pay, or cause to be paid, in cash to the Agent for the ratable benefit of Secured Parties without any demand or notice whatsoever, an amount equal to the full unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for any Borrower becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Debtor Relief Law, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against such Borrower for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Secured Parties as aforesaid and in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal. Any payment made in accordance with this section shall be without defense, recoupment, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition (other than Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations).

Section 10.3.Liability of Guarantor Absolute.

The Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the Guarantor agrees as follows:

(a)this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of the Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety;

(b)the Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between any Borrower and any Secured Party with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;

(c)the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any Borrower and the obligation of any other guarantor of the obligations of any Borrower;

(d)payment by any Person of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge the Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce the Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release the Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit;

(e)any payment by any Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to any Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to the Guarantor;

(f)any Secured Party, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise in any way to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may:

(i)renew, extend, accelerate, increase the principal amount of, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms of the underlying Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any amendment thereto, consent to departure therefrom, or waiver thereof);

(ii)settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations;

(iii)request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations;

(iv)in accordance with the terms of the underlying Loan Documents (including any amendment thereto, consent to departure therefrom, or waiver thereof), release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations;

(v)enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Secured Party in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Secured Party may have against any such security, in each case, as such Secured Party in its discretion may determine consistent herewith and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or non-judicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish

any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Guarantor against any Borrower or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and

(vi)exercise any other rights available to it under the Loan Documents;

(g)this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether occurring before, upon or after any demand for payment hereunder, and whether or not the Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) the asserting or enforcing of any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Loan Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto or with respect to any other guarantee of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Loan Documents and/or at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case, whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Loan Document or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iv) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (v) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Loan Documents, or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Secured Party might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any Secured Party’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries, any change in the ownership, control, name, objects, business or assets of any Obligor, any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; any amalgamation or consolidation of any Obligor with any other Person or the consent thereto by any Secured Party to the extent that such actions are not permitted hereunder; (vii) any failure to perfect or continue perfection (or the release) of any Lien in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (viii) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which any Obligor may allege or assert against any Secured Party or any other Obligor or Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; (ix) any limitation of status or power, disability, in capacity or other circumstance relating to any other Obligor or any other Person, including any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, winding-up or other proceeding involving or affecting any other Obligor or any other Person; and (x) other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 10.4.Waivers by Guarantor.

The Guarantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, for the benefit of the Secured Parties: (a) any right to require any Secured Party, as a condition of payment or performance by the Guarantor, to (i) proceed against any Borrower, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or

any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Borrower, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Secured Party in favor of any Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Secured Party whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of any Borrower or any other Person including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of any Borrower or any other Person from any cause other than Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Secured Party’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction); (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) except as expressly set forth herein, all notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor or non-payment, notices or proof of reliance, and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to the Borrowers and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 10.03 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

Section 10.5.Guarantor’s Rights of Subrogation, Etc..

Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been Paid in Full and all Commitments shall have terminated, the Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower or any other guarantor of the Obligations or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by the Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case, whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including without limitation (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that the Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Secured Party now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any Collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Secured Party. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been Paid in Full and all Commitments shall have terminated, the Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution the Guarantor may have against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification the Guarantor may have against any Borrower or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution the Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate in right of payment and security to any rights any Secured Party may have against any Borrower, to all right, title and interest any Secured Party may have in any such collateral or security, and

to any right any Secured Party may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been Paid in Full, such amount shall be held in trust for the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid over to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 10.6.Subordination of Other Obligations.

Any Indebtedness of any Borrower now or hereafter held by (or owing to) any the Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such Indebtedness collected or received by the Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and, upon notice from the Agent acting at the direction of the Required Lenders (other than upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 8.01(f) or 8.01(g) in which case no notice shall be required), shall forthwith be paid over to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof.

Section 10.7.Continuing Guaranty.

This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been Paid in Full and all Commitments shall have terminated. The Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations prior to the Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of the Commitments.

Section 10.8.Authority of Guarantor or Borrowers.

It is not necessary for any Secured Party to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Guarantor or any Borrower or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.

Section 10.9.Financial Condition of Borrowers.

Any Credit Extension may be made to the Borrowers or continued from time to time without notice to or authorization from the Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of any Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation. No Secured Party shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with the Guarantor its assessment of the financial condition of any Borrower. The Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from each Borrower on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of such Borrower and its ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents, and the Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Borrowers and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Secured Party to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of any Borrower now known or hereafter known by any Secured Party.

Section 10.10.Bankruptcy, Etc..

(a)The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of any

Borrower or by any defense which any Borrower may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

(b)The Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of the Guarantor and the Secured Parties that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by the Guarantor pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve any Borrower of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantor will in such capacity permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person to pay the Agent, or allow the claim of the Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.

(c)In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by any Borrower, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Secured Party as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.

Section 10.11.Release of Guarantor.

The Guaranty made herein shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been Paid in Full and the Commitments have been terminated, at which time the Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under this Agreement and its obligations to pledge and grant any Collateral owned by it pursuant to any Security Document.

Section 10.12.Remedies.

The Guarantor agrees that, as between the Guarantor and the Secured Parties, the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 8.01 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 8.01) for purposes of Section 10.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrowers and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrowers) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for purposes of this Article 10.

Section 10.13.Instrument for the Payment of Money.

The Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guaranty in this Article 10 constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Lender or the Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by the Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring a motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213.

Section 10.14.General Limitation on Guaranty Obligations.

In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other applicable law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of the Guarantor under Section 10.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 10.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Guarantor, any Borrower or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the liability under this Guaranty, but before giving effect to any other guarantee) that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

(b)Assignments by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it (provided, however, that pro rata assignments shall not be required and each assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any applicable Loan)); provided that:

(i)in the case of assignments of Loans (or any Commitment therefor), except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Loans (or any Commitment therefor) at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Loans (or any Commitment therefor) of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000, unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing pursuant to Section 8.01(a), (f) or (g), the Borrower Representative otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have consented unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(ii)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 Loans or the Commitment assigned under the Term Loan Facility;

(iii)the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption; such Assignment and Assumption to be (A) electronically executed and delivered to the Agent via an electronic settlement system then acceptable to the Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Agent, manually), and (B) delivered together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, unless waived or reduced by the Agent in its sole discretion;

(iv)the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an administrative questionnaire, in the form prescribed by the Agent; and

(v)the Initial Lender shall not be permitted to assign any Loans (other than to its Affiliates and Approved Funds) if, immediately after giving effect to such proposed assignment, the Initial Lender, together with its Affiliates and Approved Funds, would hold less than 51.0% of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to Section 11.07(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, (provided that, with respect to circumstances in effect on the effective date of such Assignment and Assumption, an Eligible Assignee shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive had the assignment not taken place) and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.03, 3.04, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any

assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 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 11.07(e).

(c)[Reserved].

(d)Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal and interest amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the 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, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and each Lender (with respect to its own interests in the Term Loan Facility only) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(e)Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement; provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 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, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.01 that directly affects such Participant. Except to the extent limited by Section 11.07(f), the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.03 and 3.04 (subject to the limitations and requirements of such Sections (including Section 3.01(e) and Section 3.01(f)) and Section 3.07, as if such Participant were a Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.07(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.11 as though it were a Lender.

Each Lender that sells a participation pursuant to this Section 11.07(e) shall, acting solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it records the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s participation interest with respect to the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (each, a “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that the relevant parties, acting reasonably and in good faith, determine that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan 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.

(f)Limitations upon Participant Rights. The Obligors shall not be obligated to make any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.03 than the Obligors would have been obligated to make in the absence of any participation.

(g)Certain Pledges.

(h)Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Each Lender agrees to promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Agent or any Lender or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

Section 11.13.Severability.

If any provision of any Loan Document is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent (but only to the extent) of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, (ii) the other provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in favor of the Lenders in order to carry out the intentions of the parties thereto as nearly as may be possible and (iii) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any such provision in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 11.14.Replacement of Defaulting Lenders and Non-Consenting Lenders.

If any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice by the Borrower Representative to such Lender and the Agent, (i) replace such Lender by causing such Lender to assign its Loans (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrowers in such instance) pursuant to Section 11.07(b) to one or more other Lenders or Eligible Assignees identified by the Borrower Representative or (ii) notwithstanding Section 2.11, terminate the applicable Commitments of such Lender and repay all Obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date; provided that such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.01, 3.03 and 3.04) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts)).

With respect to clause (i) above, no action by or consent of a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment the Borrowers, the Agent, such Defaulting Lender or such Non-Consenting Lender and the

replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with this Section 11.14; provided that if such Defaulting Lender or such Non-Consenting Lender does not comply with this Section 11.14 within one Business Day after the Borrowers’ request, compliance with this Section 11.14 shall not be required to effect such assignment.

Section 11.15.Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process; Process Agent; Sovereign Immunity.

(a)This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b)Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any relevant appellate court, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in any Loan Document shall affect any right that any Lender or the Agent may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document against any Obligor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c)Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document in any court referred to in subsection (b) of this Section 11.15. Each party hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court.

(d)Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 11.02. Nothing in any Loan Document will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(e)Cirrata UK hereby irrevocably appoints the Borrower Representative (in such capacity, the “Process Agent”), as its agent to receive on behalf of Cirrata UK service of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any action or proceeding described above. Such service may be made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to Cirrata UK, in care of the Process Agent at the address specified for such Process Agent, and Cirrata UK hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf. Cirrata UK covenants and agrees that, for so long as it shall be bound under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it shall maintain a duly appointed agent for the service of summons and other legal process in New York, New York, United States of America, for the purposes of any legal action, suit or proceeding brought by any party in respect of this Agreement or such other Loan Document and shall keep the Agents advised of the identity and location of such agent. If for any reason there is no authorized agent for service of process in New York, Cirrata UK irrevocably consents to the service of process out of the said courts by mailing copies thereof by registered United States air mail postage prepaid to it at its address specified in Section 11.02. Nothing in this Section 11.15 shall affect the right of any Secured Party to (i) commence legal proceedings or otherwise sue Cirrata UK in the country in which it is domiciled or in any other court

100

having jurisdiction over Cirrata UK or (ii) serve process upon Cirrata UK in any manner authorized by the laws of any such jurisdiction.

(f)Each Borrower waives any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process to which it or its properties or assets may be entitled.

Section 11.16 Waiver of Jury Trial.

EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

Section 11.17.USA PATRIOT Act Notice.

Each Lender and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Obligor, which information includes the name and address of each Obligor and other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify each Obligor in accordance with the Patriot Act.

Section 11.18.Entire Agreement.

Section 11.19.Independence of Covenants.

All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise 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.

101

Section 11.20.Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Right.

The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

Section 11.21.No Fiduciary Duty.

The Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Obligors, their stockholders and/or their affiliates. Each Obligor agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Obligor, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Obligors acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Obligors, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Obligor, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Obligor, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Obligor except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Obligor, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Obligor agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Obligor, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

Section 11.22.Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

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

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

(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of

102

ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

Section 11.23.Acknowledgment and Consent Regarding Any Supported QFCs

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

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

(b)As used in this Section 11.23, the following terms have the following meanings:

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

“Covered Entity” means any of the following:

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

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

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

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

103

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

Section 11.24.Lender Action.

Each Lender (and each Secured Party by accepting the benefits of the Collateral) agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Obligor or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents or any other document secured by the Collateral) (including the exercise of any right of set off, rights on account of any bankers’ liens or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such obligor, without the prior written consent of the Agent or Required Lenders.

Section 11.25.Joint and Several Liability of the Borrowers.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is understood and agreed by the parties to this Agreement that all Obligations to repay principal of, interest on, and all other amounts with respect to, all Loans, and all other Obligations pursuant to this Agreement and each other Loan Document (including all fees, indemnities and other Obligations in connection therewith) shall constitute the joint and several obligations of each of the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable for all Obligations regardless of which Borrower actually receives the proceeds of any Loan. In addition to the direct (and joint and several) obligations of the Borrowers with respect to Obligations as described above, each Borrower agrees that all such Obligations shall be guaranteed pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Guaranty, which is a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, that its obligations under this Section 11.25 shall not be discharged until Payment in Full of the Obligations has occurred.

Section 11.26.Judgment Currency.

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