94

been complied with.

Any financial ratios required to be maintained by any of the Borrower Parties, or satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted, under this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).

96

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement any (i) representation or warranty that would be untrue or inaccurate, (ii) any undertaking that would be breached or (iii) any event that would constitute a Default or an Event of Default, in each case, solely as a result of fluctuations in applicable currency exchange rates, shall not be deemed to be untrue, inaccurate, breached or so constituted, as applicable, solely as a result of such fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

(2) interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with IFRS;

97

(3) interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower may designate;

Section 2.01 The Loans.

(a) The Initial Term Borrowings. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Term Lender with an Initial Dollar Term Commitment severally agrees to make a single loan denominated in Dollars (the “Initial Dollar Term Loans”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an amount not to exceed such Term Lender’s Initial Dollar Term Commitment. The Initial Dollar Term Borrowing shall consist of Initial Dollar Term Loans made simultaneously by the Term Lenders in accordance with their respective Initial Dollar Term Commitments. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01(a) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed (it being understood, however, that prepayments will be taken into account for purposes of any Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility to the extent provided by Section 2.14). Initial Dollar Term Loans may be Base Rate Loans or SOFR Loans as further provided herein.

(b) After the Closing Date, subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender with a Term Commitment (other than an Initial Term Commitment) with respect to any Tranche of Term Loans (other than Initial Term Loans) severally agrees to make a Term Loan under such Tranche to the Borrower thereof in an amount not to exceed such Term Lender’s Term Commitment under such Tranche on the date of incurrence thereof, which Term

101

Loans under such Tranche shall be incurred pursuant to a single drawing on the date set forth for such incurrence. Such Term Loans may be Base Rate Loans or SOFR Loans as further provided herein. Once repaid, Term Loans incurred hereunder may not be reborrowed (it being understood, however, that prepayments will be taken into account for purposes of any Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility to the extent provided by Section 2.14).

Section 2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

(a) Each Term Borrowing, each conversion of Term Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of SOFR Loans, shall be made upon irrevocable notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent; provided that Loans denominated in Dollars shall be Base Rate Loans or SOFR Loans. Other than with respect to a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (which must be in writing and be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time)), each such notice must be in writing and must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time in the case of any Borrowing denominated in Dollars) (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, or continuation of, SOFR Loans, or of any conversion of Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans (or such later date as the Administrative Agent shall agree) (or in the case of any such Borrowing to be made on the Closing Date, one Business Day prior to the Closing Date) and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or of any conversion of SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans. Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent in the form of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.

Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans shall be in the case of a Dollar Term Loan, in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each Borrowing of, or conversion to, Base Rate Loans shall be in the case of a Dollar Term Loan, a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.

Each Committed Loan Notice shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Term Borrowing, a conversion of a Tranche of Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Revolving Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of SOFR Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) if applicable, the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Tranche of Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Revolving Loans are to be converted and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Tranche of Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Revolving Loans shall be made as, or converted to, SOFR Loans with an Interest Period of one month. Any such automatic conversion or continuation pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable SOFR Loans. Any such automatic conversion or continuation pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Base Rate Loans or SOFR Loans, as applicable. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of SOFR Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing but no currency is specified in the Committed Loan Notice, the requested Borrowing shall be in Dollars.

102

(b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender of the amount of its ratable share of the applicable Tranche of Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Revolving Loans and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation of SOFR Loans is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to SOFR Loans with an Interest Period of one month as described in Section 2.02(a). Each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than, in the case of any Loan denominated in Dollars, 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Each Lender may, at its option, make any Loan available to the Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.01, the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received by the cutoff times set forth above available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.

(c) During the existence of an Event of Default, at the election of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, no Loans denominated in Dollars may be requested as, converted to or continued as SOFR Loans.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for SOFR Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of Term SOFR by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(e) After giving effect to all Term Borrowings, all conversions of Term Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Term Loans of the same Type, there shall not be more than ten Interest Periods in effect.

(f) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing, which for the avoidance of doubt does not limit such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s obligations under Section 2.17.

(g) In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time (with the consent of the Borrower) 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. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

Section 2.04 [Reserved].

Section 2.05 Prepayments.

(a) Optional. (i) The Borrower may, upon notice by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit G (or in such other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty except as set forth in Section 2.05(a)(iii) below; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars) (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of SOFR Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans (or, in each case, such shorter period as the Administrative Agent shall agree, acting reasonably) and (2) any prepayment of SOFR Loans, shall be in the case of a Dollar Term Loan, in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof . Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, the Tranche of Loans to be prepaid, the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if SOFR Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans (except that if the class of Loans to be prepaid includes both Base Rate Loans and SOFR Loans, absent direction by the Borrower, the applicable prepayment shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to SOFR Loans, in each case in a manner that minimizes the amount payable by the Borrower in respect of such prepayment pursuant to Section 3.06). The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s ratable share of the relevant Facility). If such notice is given by the Borrower, subject to clause (ii) below, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Subject to Section 2.17, each prepayment of any outstanding Term Loan Tranche pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be applied to such Term Loan Tranche or Term Loan Tranches designated on such notice. Subject to Section 2.17, each prepayment of any outstanding Term Loan Tranche pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be applied to the remaining amortization payments of the applicable Term Loan Tranche as directed by the Borrower (or, if the Borrower has not made such designation, in direct order of maturity); and each such prepayment shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders on a pro rata basis to the Lenders within such applicable Term Loan Tranche, except as set forth above.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any notice of prepayment under Section 2.05(a)(i) may state that it is conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked or postponed by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

104

(iii) If the Borrower (A) makes a voluntary prepayment of any Initial Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) or (B) makes a repayment of any Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(iii), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the applicable Term Lenders a prepayment premium in an amount equal to (x) the greater of (i) the Make-Whole Premium as calculated by Parent for such prepayment date with respect to the outstanding principal amount of any such Initial Term Loans so refinanced, prepaid or amended, as the case may be, prior to the date that is one year after the Closing Date and (ii) 3.00% of the aggregate principal amount of any such Initial Term Loans so refinanced, prepaid or amended, as the case may be, prior to the date that is one year after the Closing Date, (y) 3.00% of the aggregate principal amount of any such Initial Term Loans so refinanced, prepaid or amended, as the case may be, on or after the date that is one year after the Closing Date, but prior to the date that is two years after the Closing Date and (z) 0.00% of the aggregate principal amount of any such Initial Term Loans so refinanced, prepaid or amended, as the case may be, on and after the date that is two years after the Closing Date, provided that no prepayment premium shall be payable under this Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(iii) in connection with a Specified Disposition or a Transformative Event.

(b) Mandatory.

(i) For any Excess Cash Flow Period, within ten Business Days after financial statements were required to have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) and the related Compliance Certificate was required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a) (or, if later, the date on which such financial statements and such Compliance Certificate are required to be delivered), the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to (A) 50% (as may be adjusted pursuant to the proviso below) of Excess Cash Flow for such Excess Cash Flow Period (commencing with the Excess Cash Flow Period ending on December 31, 2023), minus (B) the sum of:

(1) the aggregate amount of voluntary principal prepayments of the Loans, Indebtedness that is pari passu in right of payment and security with the Initial Term Loans or junior in right of payment and security to the Initial Term Loans, Specified Refinancing Debt, Incremental Equivalent Debt and all other secured Indebtedness, in each case made during the period commencing on the first day of the relevant Excess Cash Flow Period and ending on the last day of the relevant Excess Cash Flow Period or, at the option of the Borrower and without duplication, on the date immediately prior to the date on which the relevant Excess Cash Flow prepayment is or would be required to be made (including prepayments at a discount to par in connection with Permitted Debt Exchanges, repayments of Obligations of any Replaceable Lender or Non-Consenting Lender permitted under Section 3.08, assignments made to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries permitted under this Agreement and open market purchases, with credit given for the actual amount of the cash payment) (except prepayments of Loans under any secured revolving Indebtedness that are not accompanied by a corresponding permanent commitment reduction of such secured revolving Indebtedness), in each case other than to the extent that any such prepayment is funded with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness (other than any revolving Indebtedness);

105

(2) any amount not required to be applied to such prepayment pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(vii) or (viii),

(3) the amount of Taxes paid and/or capital expenditures either made in cash by the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries during the period commencing on the first day of the relevant Excess Cash Flow Period and ending on the last day of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period (or, at the Borrower’s option, after the end of the relevant Excess Cash Flow Period but prior to the time such Excess Cash Flow payment is due; provided that to the extent the Borrower exercises such option, such amount shall not be permitted as a reduction against the subsequent Excess Cash Flow Period calculation) and in each case other than to the extent that any such capital expenditures or Taxes are funded with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness (other than any revolving Indebtedness),

(4) the aggregate amount of cash consideration paid by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary (on a consolidated basis) in connection with any Investments, any acquisitions, acquisitions of intellectual property and any deferred payments in connection with any acquisition and Restricted Payments (including, without limitation, any distribution with respect to Taxes, and distributions on equity), crystallized long-term liability amounts other than Indebtedness for which payments are required to be made and make-whole amounts paid in respect of Indebtedness that has been repaid during the period commencing on the first day of the relevant Excess Cash Flow Period and ending on the last day of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period (or, at the Borrower’s option, after the end of the relevant Excess Cash Flow Period but prior to the time such Excess Cash Flow payment is due; provided that to the extent the Borrower exercises such option, such amount shall not be permitted as a reduction against the subsequent Excess Cash Flow Period calculation) and in each case other than to the extent that any such cash consideration is funded with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness (other than any revolving Indebtedness),

(5) at the Borrower’s election, without duplication of amounts deducted from Excess Cash Flow pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(i)(B)(5) in respect of prior fiscal years, the aggregate consideration required to be paid in cash by any Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to binding contracts (the “Contract Consideration”) entered into prior to or during such fiscal year or otherwise budgeted or planned to be paid in cash, in each case, relating to Investments, any acquisitions, acquisitions of intellectual property and any deferred payments in connection with any acquisition, Taxes, capitalized software expenditures or other capital expenditures to be consummated or made during the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of Parent following the end of such fiscal year, provided that to the extent the aggregate amount of cash actually utilized to finance such Investments and capital expenditures during such period of four consecutive fiscal quarters is less than the Contract Consideration or amount otherwise budgeted or planned for such uses, the amount of such shortfall shall be added to the calculation of Excess Cash Flow at the end of such period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, and

106

(6) the amount of any rental, interest or other payment made or to be made in respect of any lease or license (including Capitalized Lease Obligations) provided there shall be no duplication of amounts deducted from Excess Cash Flow pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(i)(B)(6) and amounts deducted pursuant to the definition of Consolidated Net Income,

provided that such percentage in respect of any Excess Cash Flow Period shall be reduced to 25% if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the fiscal year to which such Excess Cash Flow Period relates was less than or equal to 2.50:1.00 but greater than 2.25:1.00 or to 0% if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the fiscal year to which such Excess Cash Flow Period relates was less than or equal to 2.25:1.00, respectively (the amount described in this clause (i), the “ECF Prepayment Amount”); provided further that no prepayment shall be required with respect to any Excess Cash Flow Period to the extent Excess Cash Flow for such period is less than the greater of (x) $20,000,000 and (y) 10.0% of Four Quarter Consolidated EBITDA (and only the amounts in excess thereof shall be required to be prepaid); provided further that, if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to any Excess Cash Flow prepayment would result in the percentage in respect of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period being reduced to 25% or 0%, then such reduced percentage applicable to the Excess Cash Flow prepayment required to be made shall apply; provided further that if the amount of reductions set forth in clauses (1) through (6) above during the relevant Excess Cash Flow Period exceeds the ECF Prepayment Amount that would have been required on such relevant Excess Cash Flow Period, the amount of such excess shall be deducted from any Excess Cash Flow payment required in subsequent Excess Cash Flow Periods (after calculating the applicable Excess Cash Flow for such Excess Cash Flow Period).

(ii) If any Asset Sale made pursuant to Section 7.04(1) or (2) (or series of related Asset Sales) results in the receipt by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of aggregate Net Cash Proceeds in excess of (i) the greater of (x) $30,000,000 and (y) 15% of Four Quarter Consolidated EBITDA per transaction and (ii) the greater of (x) $100,000,000 and (y) 50% of Four Quarter Consolidated EBITDA per fiscal year (such threshold amounts, the “De-Minimis Amount” and any such event, a “Relevant Transaction”), then except to the extent the Borrower elects to reinvest all or a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with Section 7.04, the Borrower shall prepay, subject to Section 2.05(b)(vii) and (viii), an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% (provided that such percentage shall be reduced to (i) 50% if at the time of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds or at any time during the applicable reinvestment period, on a Pro Forma basis after giving effect to such Asset Sale and use of Net Cash Proceeds the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio would be equal to or less than 2.50:1.00, but greater than 2.25:1.00 and (ii) 0% if at the time of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds or at any time during the applicable reinvestment period, on a Pro Forma basis after giving effect to such Asset Sale and use of Net Cash Proceeds the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio would be equal to or less than 2.25:1.00) of the Net Cash Proceeds received from such Relevant Transaction within 15 Business Days of receipt thereof (or, within 15 Business Days (i) after the later of the date the threshold referred to above is first exceeded and the date the relevant Net Cash Proceeds are received or (ii) after the Parent or the Borrower elects not to pursue the reinvestment (or an alternative reinvestment) within the period set forth in Section 7.04) by the Parent

107

or such Restricted Subsidiary; provided that the Parent or the Borrower (as applicable) may use a portion of the Net Cash Proceeds received from such Relevant Transaction to prepay or repurchase any other Indebtedness that is secured by the Collateral on a first lien “equal and ratable” basis with Liens securing the Obligations to the extent such other Indebtedness and the Liens securing the same are permitted hereunder and the documentation governing such other Indebtedness requires such a prepayment or repurchase thereof with the proceeds of such Relevant Transaction, to the extent not deducted in the calculation of Net Cash Proceeds, in each case in an amount not to exceed the product of (1) the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of such other Indebtedness (or to the extent such amount is not in Dollars, such equivalent amount of such Indebtedness converted into Dollars as determined in accordance with Section 1.08) and the denominator of which is the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans and such other Indebtedness (or to the extent such amount is not in Dollars, such equivalent amount of such Indebtedness converted into Dollars as determined in accordance with Article I); provided, further, that only the amount of Net Cash Proceeds in excess of the De-Minimis Amount for any Asset Sale (or series of related Asset Sales) shall be subject to prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(ii) and, in such case, the required prepayment shall be only the amount in excess thereof.

(iii) Upon the incurrence or issuance by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Refinancing Debt, any Specified Refinancing Term Loans or any Indebtedness not expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.01, the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loan Tranches in an amount equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary.

(iv) Subject to Section 2.17, each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied among Term Loan Tranches as directed by the Borrower (other than a prepayment of (x) Term Loans with the proceeds of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 2.18, which shall be applied to the Term Loan Tranche being refinanced pursuant thereto or (y) Term Loans with the proceeds of any Refinancing Debt issued or incurred to the extent permitted under Section 7.01(a), which shall be applied to the Term Loan Tranche being refinanced pursuant thereto) and, in the case of a Term Loan Tranche, within a Term Loan Tranche as directed by the Borrower (and absent such direction, in order of direct maturity). Amounts to be applied to a Term Loan Tranche in connection with prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied (i) first, to interest and fees on each such Term Loan Tranche on a pro rata basis that is accrued and payable at such time and (ii) second, as directed by the Borrower (and absent such direction, to the remaining scheduled installments with respect to such Term Loan Tranche in direct order of maturity). Each prepayment of Dollar Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the then outstanding Base Rate Loans and SOFR Loans under such Facility; provided that, if there are no Declining Lenders with respect to such prepayment, then the amount thereof shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans under such Facility to the full extent thereof before application to SOFR Loans, in each case in a manner that minimizes the amount payable by the Borrower in respect of such prepayment pursuant to Section 3.06.

108

(v) All prepayments under this Section 2.05 shall be made together with, to the extent applicable, any amounts required pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(iii).

(vi) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.05, to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a Subsidiary (a “Foreign Disposition”) giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(ii), or Excess Cash Flow giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i) are or is prohibited, restricted or delayed by applicable local law, rule or regulation (including, without limitation, financial assistance and corporate benefit restrictions and fiduciary and statutory duties of any directors or officers of such Subsidiaries) from being repatriated to the Borrower or such repatriation or prepayment would present a material risk of liability for the applicable Subsidiary or its directors or officers (or gives rise to a material risk of breach of fiduciary or statutory duties by any director or officer), the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.05 but may be retained by the applicable Subsidiary (it being understood and agreed that the Borrower shall be under no obligation to cause or to attempt to cause the applicable Subsidiary to promptly take any actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation, to monitor any such circumstances or to reserve cash for future repatriation after it has provided notice to the Administrative Agent of such prohibition, restriction, delay or risk).

(vii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.05, to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(ii), or Excess Cash Flow giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i) would have an adverse Tax, accounting or regulatory cost or consequence (taking into account any foreign Tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected may be retained by the applicable Subsidiary.

(viii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.05(b), the Borrower may make prepayments required in connection with any Indebtedness that is secured on a pari passu basis with the Initial Term Loans on a ratable basis based on the outstanding principal amount of such Indebtedness.

(c) Term Lender Opt-Out. With respect to any prepayment of Initial Term Loans and, unless otherwise specified in the documents therefor, other Term Loan Tranches pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i) or (ii), any Appropriate Lender, at its option (but solely to the extent the Borrower elects for this clause (c) to be applicable to a given prepayment, other than in connection with any Refinancing Debt or any Specified Refinancing Term Loans), may elect not to accept such prepayment as provided below. The Borrower may notify the Administrative Agent of any event giving rise to a prepayment under Section 2.05(b)(i) or (ii) at least five Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment that is required to be made under Section 2.05(b)(i) or (ii) (the “Prepayment Amount”). The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the contents of any such prepayment notice so

109

received from the Borrower, including the date on which such prepayment is to be made (the “Prepayment Date”). Any Appropriate Lender may (but solely to the extent the Borrower elect for this clause (c) to be applicable to a given prepayment) decline to accept all (but not less than all) of its share of any such prepayment (any such Lender, a “Declining Lender”) by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent no later than four Business Days after the date of such Appropriate ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment. If any Appropriate Lender does not give a notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such fourth Business Day informing the Administrative Agent that it declines to accept the applicable prepayment, then such Lender will be deemed to have accepted such prepayment. On any Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Prepayment Amount minus the portion thereof allocable to Declining Lenders, in each case for such Prepayment Date, shall be paid to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower and applied by the Administrative Agent ratably to prepay Term Loans under the Term Loan Tranche(s) owing to Appropriate Lenders (other than Declining Lenders) in the manner described in Section 2.05(b) for such prepayment. Any amounts that would otherwise have been applied to prepay Term Loans, New Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Term Loans owing to Declining Lenders shall be retained by the Borrower (such amounts, “Declined Amounts”).

(d) Currency. All Loans shall be repaid, whether pursuant to this Section 2.05 or otherwise, in the currency in which they were made.

Section 2.06 Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon written notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, terminate the unused portions of the Commitments under any Term Loan Tranche, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused portions of the Commitments under any Term Loan Tranche; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent three Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent shall agree) prior to the date of termination or reduction and (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $500,000 or any whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Any such notice of termination or reduction of commitments pursuant to this Section 2.06(a) may state that it is conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked or postponed by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(b) Mandatory. (i) The Aggregate Commitments under a Term Loan Tranche shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero on the date of the initial incurrence of Term Loans under such Term Loan Tranche, which in the case of the Initial Term Commitments shall be the Closing Date.

(c) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the applicable Lenders of the applicable Facility of any termination or reduction of the Commitments under any Term Loan Tranche under this Section 2.06. Upon any reduction of Commitments under a Facility or a Tranche thereof, the Commitment of each Lender under such Facility or Tranche thereof shall be reduced by such Lender’s ratable share of the amount by which such Facility or Tranche thereof is reduced (other than the termination of the Commitment of any Lender as provided in Section 3.08).

110

Section 2.07 Repayment of Loans.

(a) Initial Dollar Term Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Dollar Term Lenders holding Initial Dollar Term Loans the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Dollar Term Loans outstanding in consecutive quarterly installments as follows (which installments shall, to the extent applicable, be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Sections 2.05 and 2.06, or be increased as a result of any increase in the amount of Dollar Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.14 (such increased amortization payments to be calculated in the same manner (and on the same basis) as the schedule set forth below for the Initial Dollar Term Loans made as of the Closing Date)):

provided, however, that (i) if the date scheduled for any principal repayment installment is not a Business Day, such principal repayment installment shall be repaid on the next succeeding Business Day, provided, however, that, if such extension would cause any principal repayment installment to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such installment shall be paid on the immediately preceding Business Day, and (ii) the final principal repayment installment of the Initial Dollar Term Loans shall be repaid on the Maturity Date for the Initial Dollar Term Loans and in any event shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Dollar Term Loans outstanding on such date.

(b) All Loans shall be repaid, whether pursuant to this Section 2.07 or otherwise, in the currency in which they were made.

Section 2.08 Interest.

(a) (i) each SOFR Loan under a Facility shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) Term SOFR plus (B) the Applicable Rate for SOFR Loans under such Facility; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan under a Facility shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date or conversion date, as the case may be, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate plus (B) the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans under such Facility.

111

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Following a Specified Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay interest on all overdue Obligations hereunder (which shall accrue from the date of such Specified Event of Default), which shall include all Obligations following an acceleration pursuant to Section 8.02 (including an automatic acceleration) at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein; provided that in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

(e) Interest on each Loan shall be payable in the currency in which each Loan was made.

(f) All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 2.10 or Section 3.04 of this Agreement.

Section 2.09 Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders, the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in the applicable Fee Letters in the amounts and at the times so specified therein.

Section 2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans based on the Prime Lending 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 fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 2.11 Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a) The Credit Extensions and a copy of each Assignment and Assumption made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, acting solely for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c) and section 1.163-5(b) of the proposed United States Treasury Regulations, as a non-fiduciary agent for the Borrower, in each case in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence and the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive proof absent manifest error of the amount of the

112

Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the Register shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. No execution and delivery or transfer of a Note will be effective until also recorded in the Register.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 2.11(a) and by each Lender in its accounts or records pursuant to Section 2.11(a), shall be prima facie evidence, in each case, of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such accounts or records, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such accounts or records shall not limit the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or set-off. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to payments in Dollars, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in, with respect to the Dollar Term Facility and Dollar Term Loans, Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its ratable share in respect of the relevant Facility or Tranche thereof (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent in the case of payments in Dollars, after 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), shall, in each case, be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b) (i) Funding by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of SOFR Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative

113

Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02(b) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if any Lender does not in fact make its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand an amount equal to such applicable share in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the applicable Overnight Rate and a rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the applicable Facility. If both the Borrower and such Lender pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid (less interest and fees) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make its share of any Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by the Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Appropriate Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower does not in fact make such payment, then each of the Appropriate Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed by the Administrative Agent to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the applicable Overnight Rate and a rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.12(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender on demand, without interest.

114

(d) Obligations of the Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.07 are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 9.07 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 or, to fund its participation or to make its payment under Section 9.07.

(e) Funding Source. 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.

(f) Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

(g) Unallocated Funds. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s ratable share of the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender.

Section 2.13 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another

115

Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall not be construed to apply to (A) the assignments and participations (including by means of a Dutch Auction and open market debt repurchases) described in Section 10.07, (B) (i) the incurrence of any New Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.14 or (ii) any Specified Refinancing Debt in accordance with Section 2.18, (C) any loan modification offer described in Section 10.01, (D) any applicable circumstances contemplated by Sections 2.05, 2.14, 2.17, 2.18, 2.19 or 3.08 or (E) any payments at maturity owing to a Tranche of Loans or Commitments maturing earlier than any other then-existing Tranche of Loans or Commitments.

Section 2.14 Incremental Facilities.

(a) The Parent and/or the Borrower may, from time to time after the Closing Date, upon notice by the Borrower and/or the Parent (as applicable) to the Person appointed by the Borrower and/or the Parent (as applicable) to arrange an incremental facility (such Person (who may be (i) the Administrative Agent, if it so agrees, or (ii) any other Person appointed by the Borrower the “Incremental Arranger”) specifying the proposed amount thereof, request (i) an increase in any Term Loan Tranche then outstanding (which shall be on the same terms as, and become part of, the Term Loan Tranche proposed to be increased hereunder (except as otherwise provided in clauses (c) and (d) below or, subject to the terms of clause (f)(iii) below, with respect to any fees or original issue discount payable to the lenders providing such increase)) (each, a “Term Commitment Increase”), (ii) the addition of one or more new revolving credit facilities to the Facility, in each case, in such currency or currencies as the Borrower identifies in such notice (each, a “New Revolving Facility” and, any advance made by a Lender thereunder, a “New Revolving Loan”; and the commitments thereof, the “New Revolving Commitment”) and (iii) the addition of one or more new term loan facilities, in each case, in such currency or currencies as the Borrower identifies in such notice (each, a “New Term Facility”; and any advance made by a Lender thereunder, a “New Term Loan”; and the commitments thereof, the “New Term Commitment” and, together with the New Revolving Commitments and the Term Commitment Increase, the “New Loan Commitments”) by an amount not to exceed (including any unused amount thereof, in the case of any proposed New Revolving Facility) the sum of (x)the greater of (A) $100,000,000 and (B) 100% of Four Quarter Consolidated EBITDA (after giving effect to any acquisition or Investment consummated or to be consummated, including with the proceeds of any New Term Loan, New Revolving Loan or otherwise, on a Pro Forma Basis and all other appropriate pro forma adjustment events consistent with the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” and Section 1.11) (the “Cash-Capped Incremental Facility”), (y) an unlimited amount (the “Ratio-Based Incremental Facility”) so long as the Maximum Leverage Requirement is satisfied and (z) an amount equal to (i)(A) all voluntary prepayments of Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.05(a) and (B) all voluntary repurchases of Term Loans made pursuant to the terms hereof in an

116

amount equal to the face amount of the Term Loans repurchased, in each case, to the extent not funded with the proceeds of long term Indebtedness (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, proceeds of any revolving credit facility) (the “Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility”) (such sum, at any such time, the “Incremental Amount”); provided that any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of the lesser of (x) a Dollar Amount equal to $10,000,000 (in the case of Term Commitment Increases or New Term Facilities) or a Dollar Amount equal to $5,000,000 (in the case of New Revolving Facilities) and (y) the entire amount of any increase that may be requested under this Section 2.14; provided, further, that for purposes of any New Loan Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.14 and Incremental Equivalent Debt incurred pursuant to Section 2.15, (A) unless the Borrower or the Parent (as applicable) elects otherwise, the Borrower or the Parent (as applicable) shall be deemed to have used (x) amounts under the Ratio-Based Incremental Facility (to the extent permitted by the pro forma calculation of the applicable ratio) prior to utilization of the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility and the Cash-Capped Incremental Facility and (y) amounts under the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility prior to the Cash-Capped Incremental Facility, (B) New Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14 and Incremental Equivalent Debt pursuant to Section 2.15 may be incurred under the Cash-Capped Incremental Facility, the Ratio-Based Incremental Facility, and/or the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility and proceeds from any such incurrence under the Cash-Capped Incremental Facility, the Ratio-Based Incremental Facility, and/or the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility may be utilized in a single transaction by first calculating (x) the incurrence under the Ratio-Based Incremental Facility (without inclusion of any amounts utilized under the Cash-Capped Incremental Facility, the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility and/or any amounts substantially concurrently incurred under Section 7.01 (other than any Ratio Debt incurred pursuant to Section 7.01 (including, pursuant to clause (o) thereof)) and then calculating the incurrence under the Cash-Capped Incremental Facility and/or the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility and (y) the incurrence under the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility and then calculating the incurrence under the Cash-Capped Incremental Facility and (C)(i) all or any portion of Indebtedness originally designated as incurred under the Cash-Capped Incremental Facility or the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility shall automatically cease to be deemed incurred under the Cash-Capped Incremental Facility or the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility and shall instead be deemed incurred under the Ratio-Based Incremental Facility from and after the first date on which the Borrower or the Parent (as applicable) would be permitted to incur all or such portion, as applicable, of the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness under the Ratio-Based Incremental Facility (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall have the effect of increasing the Cash-Capped Incremental Facility and/or the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility, as applicable, by the Dollar Amount of such redesignated Indebtedness) and (ii) Parent may otherwise classify, and may later reclassify, all or any portion of Indebtedness as incurred as a Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility, Ratio-Based Incremental Facility or Cash-Capped Incremental Facility on the date of incurrence and thereafter to the extent otherwise permitted on the date of such classification (or the date of any such reclassification). Parent may designate any Incremental Arranger of any New Loan Commitments with such titles under the New Loan Commitments as the Borrower may deem appropriate.

117

(b) Any Lender approached to participate in any New Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to participate in such increase or new facility. The Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees reasonably satisfactory to the Incremental Arranger and, solely in connection with a New Revolving Facility, with the consent of the Administrative Agent to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement to this Agreement. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent (in their respective capacities as such) shall be required to execute, accept or acknowledge any joinder agreement pursuant to this Section 2.14 and such execution shall not be required for any such joinder agreement to be effective; provided that, with respect to any New Loan Commitments, the Borrower must provide to the Administrative Agent the documentation providing for such New Loan Commitments.

(c) If (i) a Term Loan Tranche is increased in accordance with this Section 2.14 or (ii) a New Term Facility or New Revolving Facility is added in accordance with this Section 2.14, the Incremental Arranger and the Borrower or the Parent (as applicable)shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase, New Term Facility or New Revolving Facility among the applicable Lenders. The Incremental Arranger shall promptly notify the applicable Lenders of the final allocation of such increase, New Term Facility or New Revolving Facility and the Increase Effective Date. In connection with (i) any increase in a Term Loan Tranche or (ii) any addition of a New Term Facility or New Revolving Facility, in each case, pursuant to this Section 2.14, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended in a writing (which may be executed and delivered by the Borrower or the Parent (as applicable) and the Incremental Arranger (and the Lenders hereby authorize any such Incremental Arranger to execute and deliver any such documentation)) in order to establish the New Term Facility or New Revolving Facility or to effectuate the increases to the Term Loan Tranche and to reflect any technical changes necessary, advisable or appropriate to give effect to such increase or new facility in accordance with its terms as set forth herein pursuant to the documentation relating to such New Term Facility or New Revolving Facility. As of the Increase Effective Date, in the case of an increase to an existing Term Loan Tranche, the amortization schedule for the Term Loan Tranche then increased set forth in Section 2.07(a) (or any other applicable amortization schedule for New Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Term Loans) shall be amended in writing (which may be executed and delivered by the Borrower or the Parent (as applicable) and the Incremental Arranger (and the Lenders hereby authorize any such Incremental Arranger to execute and deliver any such documentation)) to (x) add any call protection applicable to any existing Term Loan Tranche being increased and/or (y) increase the then-remaining unpaid installments of principal by an aggregate amount equal to the additional Loans under such Term Loan Tranche being made on such date, such aggregate amount to be applied to increase such installments ratably in accordance with the amounts in effect immediately prior to the Increase Effective Date.

(d) With respect to any Term Commitment Increase or addition of New Term Facility or New Revolving Facility pursuant to this Section 2.14, (i) no Specified Event of Default (subject to Section 1.02(i)) would exist immediately after giving effect to such increase; (ii) (A) in the case of any increase of a Term Loan Tranche, the final maturity of the Term Loans, New Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Term Loans increased pursuant to this Section shall be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date for, and such additional Loans shall not have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity shorter than the longest remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of, any other outstanding Term Loans, New Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Term Loans as applicable unless the Term Lenders are also offered by the Borrower or the Parent (as applicable) the same amortization amounts for the corresponding year (provided that each Term Lender will be deemed to have rejected such offer unless such Term Lender notifies the Administrative Agent that it has accepted such offer by 11 a.m. five (5) Business Days (or such longer period which the Borrower or the Parent (as applicable) agrees) after the date of such offer; provided, (x) that Extendable

118

Bridge Loans/Interim Debt may have a maturity date earlier than the Latest Maturity Date of all then outstanding Term Loans and the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of Extendable Bridge Loans/Interim Debt may be shorter than the then longest remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any then outstanding Term Loans and (y) the requirements in this clause (A) shall not apply to any Ratio-Based Incremental Facility and (B) in the case of any New Term Facility, other than in the case of Extendable Bridge Loans/Interim Debt and any Ratio-Based Incremental Facility, such New Term Facility shall have a final maturity no earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date of any Term Loan Tranche and the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such New Term Facility shall be no shorter than that of any existing Term Loan Tranche unless the Term Lenders are also offered by the Borrower or the Parent (as applicable) the same amortization amounts for the corresponding year (provided that each Term Lender will be deemed to have rejected such offer unless such Term Lender notifies the Administrative Agent that it has accepted such offer by 11 a.m. five (5) Business Days (or such longer period which the Borrower or the Parent (as applicable) agrees) after the date of such offer and (iii) except as set forth in clause (f)(iii) below with respect to All-In Yield and with respect to final maturity and Weighted Average Life to Maturity, or otherwise agreed with the Incremental Arranger in the documentation relating to such New Term Facility or New Revolving Facility, any such New Term Facility shall have the same terms as any Term Facility and any New Revolving Facility shall have the same terms as any comparable term of any Term Facility; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, such terms may differ from the terms of any Term Facility so long as agreed between the Borrower or the Parent (as applicable) and the lenders providing such New Term Facility or New Revolving Facility and so long as such different terms (w) to the extent more favorable to the existing Lenders than comparable terms existing in the Loan Documents, as reasonably determined by Parent in consultation with the Administrative Agent are incorporated into this Agreement (or any other applicable Loan Document) for the benefit of all existing Lenders (to the extent applicable to such Lender) without further amendment requirements, including, for the avoidance of doubt, at the option of Parent, any increase in the Applicable Rate relating to any existing Term Facility to bring such Applicable Rate in line with the New Term Facility to achieve fungibility with such existing Term Facility, (x) are applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date of the Term Facilities existing at the time of the incurrence of such indebtedness, (y) reflect market terms and conditions (taken as a whole) at the time of incurrence or issuance (as determined by Parent in good faith) or (z) are reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Parent (as applicable), the Incremental Arranger and the Administrative Agent. Subject to the foregoing, the conditions precedent to each such increase or New Loan Commitment shall be solely those agreed to by the Lenders providing such increase or New Loan Commitment, as applicable, and the Borrower.

(e) The additional Term Loans made under the Term Loan Tranche subject to the increases shall be made by the applicable Lenders participating therein pursuant to the procedures set forth in Sections 2.01 and 2.02 and on the date of the making of such new Term Loans, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Sections 2.01 and 2.02, such new Loans shall be added to (and form part of) each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans under such Term Loan Tranche on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of the various outstanding Borrowings), so that each Lender under such Term Loan Tranche will participate proportionately in each then outstanding Borrowing of Term Loans under the Term Loan Tranche.

119

(f) (i) Subject to the Agreed Security Principles, any New Revolving Facility and New Term Facility shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the other Facilities, not be Guaranteed by any Person that is not the Borrower or a Guarantor under each of the other Facilities, and be unsecured, secured either on a first lien “equal and ratable” basis with the other Facilities or on a “junior” basis with the other Facilities, in each case over the same (or less) Collateral that secures the Facilities (and in each case, the application of any proceeds of the Collateral securing such New Revolving Facility or New Term Facility shall, if documented in an agreement that is separate from this Agreement, be subject to an Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement), but if unsecured or secured on a “junior” basis to the other Facilities, such New Revolving Facility or New Term Facility shall be documented in an agreement that is separate from this Agreement, (ii) the New Term Facility or New Revolving Facility, as applicable, shall, for purposes of prepayments, be treated substantially the same as (and in any event no more favorably than) any Term Facility, unless the Borrower or the Parent (as applicable) otherwise elects (but in any event no more favorably than the existing Term Loans with respect to mandatory prepayments (other than mandatory prepayments resulting from a permitted refinancing of any facility which may be applied exclusively to the facility being refinanced)), (iii) with respect to any pari passu New Term Facility initially incurred under the Ratio-Based Incremental Facility, the All-in Yield payable by the Borrower or the Parent (as applicable) applicable under such New Term Facility shall be determined by Parent and the Lenders providing such New Term Facility in the applicable currency and shall not be more than 50 basis points higher than the corresponding All-in Yield payable by the Borrower for the applicable Tranche(s) of existing Term Loans of the same currency, unless the All-in Yield with respect to such applicable Tranche(s) of such then-existing Term Loans the same currency are increased to the amount necessary so that the difference between the All-in Yield with respect to such New Term Facility and the corresponding All-in Yield on such applicable Tranche(s) of such then existing Term Loans of the same currency is equal to 50 basis points (provided that, to the extent such increase in All-in Yield is the result of a higher SOFR or Base Rate floor with respect to such New Term Facility, the increase in All-in Yield for the applicable Tranche of such then existing Term Loans of the same currency shall be effected solely through an increase in such “floor” (or an implementation thereof, as applicable) in respect of such applicable Tranche(s) of such then existing Term Loans of the same currency to the extent of the All-in Yield differential); provided further, that this clause (iii) shall not apply to any New Term Facility that (A) is in an aggregate principal amount equal to or less than the greater of $100,000,000 and 50% of Four Quarter Consolidated EBITDA, (B) has a final maturity date later than one year after the Latest Maturity Date of the then outstanding Term Loans, (C) is not a term loan B facility or (D) is incurred after the date that is 36 months following the Closing Date).

(g) The Lenders hereby authorize the Incremental Arranger (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Incremental Arranger to execute and deliver such amendments) to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower or the Parent (as applicable)as may be necessary, desirable or appropriate in order to secure any Indebtedness under this Section 2.14 with the Collateral and/or to make such technical amendments as may be necessary, desirable or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Incremental Arranger and the Borrower or the Parent (as applicable) in connection with the incurrence of such Indebtedness, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.14. If the Incremental Arranger is not the Administrative Agent, the actions authorized to be taken by the Incremental Arranger herein shall be done in consultation with the Administrative Agent and, with respect to the preparation of any documentation necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this Section 2.14 (including amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), any comments to such documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent shall be reflected therein.

(a) The Parent or Borrower may from time to time after the Closing Date, upon notice by Parent to the Administrative Agent, specifying in reasonable detail the proposed terms thereof, request to issue or incur one or more series of senior secured, senior unsecured, senior subordinated or subordinated notes or loans or any other indebtedness (which notes or loans or other indebtedness, if secured, shall be secured by the Collateral on a first lien “equal and ratable” basis with the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations or on a “junior” basis with the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations in each case over the same (or less) Collateral that secures the Obligations) and guaranteed only by Loan Parties or entities who become Loan Parties (such notes or loans or other indebtedness, collectively, “Incremental Equivalent Debt”) in an amount not to exceed the Incremental Amount (at the time of incurrence); provided that that any Incremental Amounts established pursuant to Section 2.14 and Incremental Equivalent Debt Incurred pursuant to this Section 2.15, unless the Borrower elects otherwise, (A) will count, first, to reduce the amount available under the Ratio-Based Incremental Facilities (to the extent permitted by the pro forma calculation of the applicable ratio), second to reduce the maximum amount under the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility and, third, to reduce the maximum amount under the Cash-Capped Incremental Facility, (B) Incremental Equivalent Debt pursuant to this Section 2.15 may be incurred under the Ratio-Based Incremental Facilities, the Cash-Capped Incremental Facility and the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facilities, and proceeds from any such incurrence may be utilized in a single transaction, by first calculating the incurrence under the Ratio-Based Incremental Facilities (without inclusion of any amounts utilized pursuant to the Cash-Capped Incremental Facility or the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility or any amounts substantially concurrently incurred under Section 7.01 (other than any Ratio Debt incurred pursuant to Section 7.01)) and then calculating the incurrence under the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility (without inclusion of any amounts utilized pursuant to the Cash-Capped Incremental Facility) and then calculating the incurrence under the Cash-Capped Incremental Facility and (C)(i) all or any portion of Incremental Equivalent Debt originally designated as incurred under the Cash-Capped Incremental Facility or the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility shall automatically cease to be deemed incurred under the Cash-Capped Incremental Facility or the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility and shall instead be deemed incurred under the Ratio-Based Incremental Facility from and after the first date on which the Borrower would be permitted to incur all or such portion, as applicable, of the aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Equivalent Debt being so redesignated under the Ratio-Based Incremental Facility (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall have the effect of increasing the Cash-Capped Incremental Facility and/or the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility, as applicable, by the Dollar Amount of such redesignated Incremental Equivalent Debt) and (ii) Parent may otherwise classify, and may later reclassify, all or any portion of Indebtedness as incurred as a Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility, Ratio-Based Incremental Facility or Cash-Capped Incremental Facility on the date of incurrence and thereafter to the extent otherwise permitted on the date of such classification (or the date of any such reclassification). The Borrower may appoint any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Borrower as arranger of such Incremental Equivalent Debt (such Person (who may be the Administrative Agent, if it so agrees), the “Incremental Equivalent Debt Arranger”).

121

(b) As a condition precedent to the incurrence of any Incremental Equivalent Debt pursuant to this Section 2.15, (i) such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall not be Guaranteed by any Person that is not a Loan Party or that does not become a Loan Party, (ii) to the extent secured by the Collateral, such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall be subject to an Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, (iii) such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall have a final maturity no earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date of the Term Facilities; provided, that Extendable Bridge Loans/Interim Debt may have a maturity date earlier than the Latest Maturity Date of the Term Facilities, (iv) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall not be shorter than that of any then-existing Term Loan Tranche unless the Term Lenders are also offered by the Borrower the same amortization amounts for the corresponding year (provided that each Term Lender will be deemed to have rejected such offer unless such Term Lender notifies the Administrative Agent that it has accepted such offer by 11 a.m. five (5) Business Days (or such longer period which the Borrower agrees) after the date of such offer; provided, that, with respect to Extendable Bridge Loans/Interim Debt , the Weighted Average Life to Maturity thereof may be shorter than the then longest remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any then outstanding Term Loans, (v) such Incremental Equivalent Debt, shall, for purposes of prepayments, be treated substantially the same as (and in any event no more favorably than) any Term Facility unless the Borrower otherwise elects (but in any event no more favorably than the existing Term Loans with respect to mandatory prepayments), (vi) such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall not require mandatory prepayments to be made except to the extent required to be applied first pro rata (or greater than pro rata) to the Term Facilities and any pari passu secured Incremental Equivalent Debt and (vii) subject to clauses (iii) and (iv) above with respect to final maturity and Weighted Average Life to Maturity, the amortization schedules, any fees payable in connection with such Incremental Equivalent Debt and all other terms of such Incremental Equivalent Debt will be as agreed between the Borrower and the applicable providers of such Incremental Equivalent Debt; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall not have covenants and events of default (excluding pricing and optional prepayment and redemption terms) that are materially more restrictive (as determined by Parent in good faith) when taken as a whole than the covenants and events of default applicable to the then existing Term Facilities unless such more restrictive covenants and/or events of default (w) are incorporated into this Agreement (or any other applicable Loan Document) for the benefit of all existing Lenders of Term Loans (to the extent applicable to such Lender of Term Loans) without further amendment requirements (which amendment may be effected by only Parent and the Administrative Agent), (x) are applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date of the Term Facilities existing at the time of incurrence of such Incremental Equivalent Debt, (y) reflect market terms and conditions (taken as a whole) at the time of incurrence or issuance (as determined by Parent in good faith) or (z) are reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, the Incremental Equivalent Debt Arranger and the Administrative Agent. Subject to the foregoing, the conditions precedent to each such incurrence shall be agreed to by the applicable creditors providing such Incremental Equivalent Debt and the Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, Incremental Equivalent Debt shall not be subject to any “most favored nation” protections.

122

(c) The Lenders hereby authorize the Incremental Equivalent Debt Arranger (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Incremental Equivalent Debt Arranger to execute and deliver such amendments) to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower as may be necessary, desirable or appropriate in order to secure any Incremental Equivalent Debt with the Collateral and/or to make such technical amendments as may be necessary, desirable or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Incremental Equivalent Debt Arranger and the Borrower in connection with the incurrence of such Incremental Equivalent Debt, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.15. If the Incremental Equivalent Debt Arranger is not the Administrative Agent, the actions authorized to be taken by the Incremental Equivalent Debt Arranger herein shall be done in consultation with the Administrative Agent and, with respect to applicable documentation (including amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), any comments to such documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent shall be reflected therein.

Section 2.16 [Reserved]

Section 2.17 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i) That Defaulting ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01.

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.09), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default pursuant to Sections 8.01(a) or (f) exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share 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 that Defaulting Lender. 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 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

123

(b) If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their ratable shares, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties and subject to Section 10.24, 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.

Section 2.18 Specified Refinancing Debt.

(a) The Borrower may, from time to time after the Closing Date, add one or more new term loan facilities and new revolving credit facilities to the Facilities (“Specified Refinancing Debt”; and the commitments in respect of such new term facilities, the “Specified Refinancing Term Commitment” and the commitments in respect of such new revolving credit facilities, the “Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitment”) pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Borrower appointed by the Borrower as agent under such Specified Refinancing Debt (such Person (who may be the Administrative Agent, if it so agrees), the “Specified Refinancing Agent”) and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, to refinance all or any portion of any Term Loan Tranches then outstanding under this Agreement and (ii) all or any portion of any revolving credit facility then in effect under this Agreement, in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that such Specified Refinancing Debt: (i) will rank pari passu in right of payment as the other Loans and Commitments hereunder; (ii) will not have obligors other than the Loan Parties or entities who shall have become Loan Parties (it being understood that the roles of such obligors as borrowers or guarantors with respect to such obligations may be interchanged); (iii) will be (x) unsecured or (y) secured by all or a portion of the Collateral on a first lien “equal and ratable” basis with the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations or on a “junior” basis to the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations in each case over the same (or less) Collateral that secures the Obligations (in each case, if documented in an agreement that is separate from this Agreement, subject to an Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement); (iv) will have such other terms and conditions (including pricing and optional prepayment terms) as may be agreed by the Borrower and the applicable Lenders thereof; (v) (x) to the extent constituting revolving credit facilities, will not have a maturity date (or have mandatory commitment reductions or amortization) that is prior to the scheduled maturity date of the revolving credit facility being refinanced and (y) to the extent constituting term loan facilities, will have a maturity date that is not prior to the date that is the scheduled Maturity Date of, and will have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of, the Term Loans being refinanced unless the Term Lenders are also offered by the Borrower the same amortization amounts for the corresponding year (provided that each Term

124

Lender will be deemed to have rejected such offer unless such Term Lender notifies the Administrative Agent that it has accepted such offer by 11 a.m. five (5) Business Days (or such longer period which the Borrower agrees) after the date of such offer; provided, that Extendable Bridge Loans/Interim Debt may have a maturity date earlier than the maturity of the Term Loans being refinanced, and the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of Extendable Bridge Loans/Interim Debt may be shorter than the then longest remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans being refinanced; (vi) subject to clauses (iii) and (iv) above with respect to final maturity and Weighted Average Life to Maturity, the amortization schedules, any fees payable in connection with such Specified Refinancing Debt and all other terms of such Specified Refinancing Debt will be as agreed between the Borrower and the applicable providers of such Specified Refinancing Debt and (vii) the Net Cash Proceeds of such Specified Refinancing Debt shall be applied, substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof, to the prepayment of outstanding Loans being so refinanced pursuant to Section 2.05, and the payment of fees, expenses and premiums, if any, payable in connection therewith. Any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of any Specified Refinancing Debt may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Specified Refinancing Debt. To achieve the full amount of a requested issuance of Specified Refinancing Debt, and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (to the extent the consent of the Administrative Agent would be required to assign any Loans under such Tranches subject to such refinancing to such Eligible Assignee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders in respect of such Specified Refinancing Debt pursuant to a joinder agreement to this Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Specified Refinancing Agent.

(b) The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to conditions as are mutually agreed with the participating lenders providing such Specified Refinancing Debt (which may include receipt by the Specified Refinancing Agent of legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements with respect to the Borrower and the Guarantors, including any supplements or amendments to the Collateral Documents providing for such Specified Refinancing Debt to be secured thereby, consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement or delivered from time to time pursuant to Section 6.12, 6.14 and/or 6.16 (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in Law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Specified Refinancing Agent)). The Lenders hereby authorize the Specified Refinancing Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower as may be necessary, desirable or appropriate in order to establish new Tranches of Specified Refinancing Debt and to make such technical amendments as may be necessary, desirable or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Tranches, in each case on terms consistent with and/or to effect the provisions of this Section 2.18.

(c) Each class of Specified Refinancing Debt incurred under this Section 2.18 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than the Dollar Amount of $15,000,000 (in the case of Specified Refinancing Term Commitments), or $5,000,000 (in the case of Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments) and (y) an integral multiple of the Dollar Amount of $1,000,000 (in the case of Specified Refinancing Term Commitments) or $500,000 (in the case of Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments) in excess thereof.

125

(d) The Specified Refinancing Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Specified Refinancing Debt incurred pursuant thereto (including the addition of such Specified Refinancing Debt as separate “Facilities” hereunder and treated in a manner consistent with the Facilities being refinanced, including for purposes of prepayments and voting). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any Person other than the Borrower, the Specified Refinancing Agent and the Lenders providing such Specified Refinancing Debt, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary, desirable or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Specified Refinancing Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of or consistent with this Section 2.18. If the Specified Refinancing Agent is not the Administrative Agent, the actions authorized to be taken by the Specified Refinancing Agent herein shall be done in consultation with the Administrative Agent and, with respect to the preparation of any documentation necessary, desirable or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this Section 2.18 (including amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), any comments to such documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent shall be reflected therein.

Section 2.19 Permitted Debt Exchanges.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, a “Permitted Debt Exchange Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower, the Borrower may from time to time following the Closing Date consummate one or more exchanges of Term Loans for Permitted Debt Exchange Notes (each such exchange a “Permitted Debt Exchange”), so long as the following conditions are satisfied: (i) [reserved], (ii) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Term Loans exchanged shall equal no more than the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Permitted Debt Exchange Notes issued in exchange for such Term Loans; provided that the aggregate principal amount of the Permitted Debt Exchange Notes may include accrued interest and premium (if any) under the Term Loans exchanged and underwriting discounts, fees, commissions and expenses in connection with the issuance of such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes, (iii) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans exchanged by the Borrower pursuant to any Permitted Debt Exchange shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the Borrower on the date of the settlement thereof (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, any applicable exchanging Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, or such other form as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, in respect thereof pursuant to which the respective Lender assigns its interest in the Term Loans being exchanged pursuant to the Permitted Debt Exchange to the Borrower for immediate cancellation), (iv) if the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) tendered by Lenders in respect of the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer (with no Lender being permitted to tender a principal amount of Term Loans which exceeds the principal amount thereof actually held by it) shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of such Term Loans offered to be exchanged by the Borrower pursuant to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer, then the Borrower shall exchange Term Loans subject to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer tendered by such Lenders ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts so tendered, (v) all

126

documentation in respect of such Permitted Debt Exchange shall be consistent with the foregoing, and all written communications generally directed to the Lenders in connection therewith shall be in form and substance consistent with the foregoing and made in consultation with the Borrower and the Exchange Agent and (vi) any applicable Minimum Tender Condition (as defined below) shall be satisfied.

(b) With respect to all Permitted Debt Exchanges effected by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.19, (i) such Permitted Debt Exchanges (and the cancellation of the exchanged Term Loans in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.05(a) or (b), and (ii) such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall be made for not less than $10,000,000 in an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans; provided that subject to the foregoing clause (ii) the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Tender Condition”) to consummating any such Permitted Debt Exchange that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer in Parent’s discretion) of Term Loans of any or all applicable Tranches be tendered.

(c) In connection with each Permitted Debt Exchange, the Borrower and the Exchange Agent shall mutually agree to such procedures as may be necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.19 and without conflict with Section 2.19(d); provided that the terms of any Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall provide that the date by which the relevant Lenders are required to indicate their election to participate in such Permitted Debt Exchange shall be not less than a reasonable period (in the discretion of Parent and the Exchange Agent) of time following the date on which the Permitted Debt Exchange Offer is made.

(d) The Borrower shall be responsible for compliance with, and hereby agrees to comply with, all applicable securities and other laws and regulations in connection with each Permitted Debt Exchange, it being understood and agreed that (x) none of the Exchange Agent, the Administrative Agent nor any Lender assumes any responsibility in connection with the Borrower’s compliance with such laws and regulations in connection with any Permitted Debt Exchange and (y) each Lender shall be solely responsible for its compliance with any applicable “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇” laws and regulations to which such Lender may be subject under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Market Abuse Regulation and/or other applicable securities laws and regulations.

(e) The Lenders hereby authorize the Exchange Agent (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Incremental Arranger to execute and deliver such amendments) to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower as may be necessary, desirable or appropriate in order to secure any Indebtedness under this Section 2.19 with the Collateral and/or to make such technical amendments as may be necessary, desirable or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Exchange Agent and the Borrower in connection with the incurrence of such Indebtedness, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.19. If the Exchange Agent is not the Administrative Agent, the actions authorized to be taken by the Exchange Agent herein shall be done in consultation with the Administrative Agent and, with respect to the preparation of any documentation necessary, desirable or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this Section 2.19, any comments to such documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent shall be reflected therein.

ARTICLE III.

Taxes, Increased Costs Protection and Illegality

Section 3.01 Taxes. For purposes of this Section 3.01, the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from or in respect of any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by the Borrower or other applicable Loan Party, Administrative Agent or other applicable Withholding Agent shall be increased as necessary so that after all such deductions or withholdings of Indemnified Taxes have been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) In addition, but without duplication, the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 30 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability (together with a reasonable explanation and calculation thereof) delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Within 30 days after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.01, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such Payment or a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.01 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party

128

and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall promptly repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this clause (e) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (e), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (e) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This clause (e) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(f) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to indemnification or additional amounts under Section 3.01 or Section 3.05 with respect to such Lender it will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to such Lender’s overall internal policies of general application and legal and regulatory restrictions) to avoid or reduce to the greatest extent possible any indemnification or additional amounts being due under this Section 3.01, including to designate another Lending Office for any Loan affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; and provided further that nothing in this Section 3.01(f) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Sections 3.01(a) and (c). The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender as a result of a request by the Borrower under this Section 3.01(f).

(g) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to any payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation and/or formalities set forth in Section 3.01(g)(ii)(A), (B) and (C) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

129

(A) each Recipient that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested of the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) copies of executed IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form), certifying that such Recipient is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) if a payment made to a Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Recipient shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether such Recipient has complied with its obligations under FATCA and, if necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (B), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement;

(C) any Recipient that is not a U.S. Person (a “Non-U.S. Recipient”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Non-U.S. Recipient becomes a Non-U.S. Recipient under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) in the case of a Non-U.S. Recipient claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, copies of executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

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

130

(iii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Recipient claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Non-U.S. Recipient is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) copies of executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; and

(iv) to the extent a Non-U.S. Recipient is not the beneficial owner, copies of executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Recipient is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Recipient are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Recipient may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner.

(D) the Administrative Agent, and any successor or supplemental Administrative Agent, shall deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which the Administrative Agent becomes the administrative agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower) copies of either (i) executed IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) or (ii) a U.S. branch withholding certificate on IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor form) evidencing its agreement with the Borrower to be treated as a U.S. Person (with respect to amounts received on account of any Lender) and executed IRS Form W- 8ECI (with respect to amounts received on its own account), with the effect that, in either case, under applicable Law in effect on the Closing Date, the Borrower will be entitled to make payments hereunder to the Administrative Agent without withholding or deduction on account of U.S. federal withholding Tax; and

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

131

Each Recipient agrees that if any documentation it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly update and deliver such form or certification to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. Each Recipient hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Recipient to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.01(g).

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.01(g), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

(h) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 30 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.07(k) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (h).

(i) The agreements in this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

Section 3.02 VAT.

(a) All amounts set out or expressed in this Credit Agreement or in a Loan Document to be payable by any party to any Secured Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies, and accordingly, subject to Section 3.02(b) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Secured Party to any party under this Credit Agreement or a Loan Document and the Secured Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that party shall pay to the Secured Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and such Secured Party shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such party).

132

(b) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Secured Party (the “Supplier”) to any other of the Secured Parties (the “Subject Recipient”) under a Loan Document, and any party other than the Subject Recipient (the “Subject Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse such Secured Party in respect of that consideration):

(i) where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Subject Party shall also pay to the Supplier (in addition to and at the same time as paying such amount) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT. The Subject Recipient shall, where this Section (i) applies, promptly pay to the Subject Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment obtained by the Subject Recipient from the relevant tax authority which the Subject Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on the supply; and

(ii) where the Subject Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Subject Party shall promptly, following demand from the Subject Recipient, pay to the Subject Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Subject Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.

(c) Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Secured Party for any cost or expense, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) the Secured Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that the Secured Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

(d) Any reference in this Section 3.02 to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules (as provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union) or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the European Union) so that a reference to a party shall be construed as a reference to that party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which that party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (or head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the relevant time (as the case may be).

(e) In relation to any supply made by a Secured Party to any party under a Loan Document, if reasonably requested by the Secured Party, that party must promptly provide details of its VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with the Secured Party’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

133

Section 3.03 Illegality.

(a) If any Lender or Affiliate of a Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or Affiliate of such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender or such Affiliate of a Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent), (a) any obligation of such Lender or such Affiliate of such Lender to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended, and (b) the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”, in each case until each affected Lender or Affiliate of a Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender or Affiliate of a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”), on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender or such Affiliate may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender or such Affiliate may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, in each case until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such affected Lender or such affected Affiliate of a Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender or such Affiliate to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender and each of its applicable Affiliates agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender or Affiliate of a Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender or such Affiliate.

Section 3.04 Inability to Determine Rates; Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) Subject to clause (c) below, if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any SOFR Loan:

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

(ii) 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 Administrative Agent,

the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert

134

Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (b)(ii) above, at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower 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 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 Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted. Subject to clause (c) below, if the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination.

(c) Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(i) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower 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 (5^th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Borrower so long as the Administrative 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 3.04(c)(i) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(ii) Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time (to the extent expressly provided in the definition of “Conforming Changes”, with the consent of the Borrower) 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.

(iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower 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. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 3.04(c) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.04(c),

135

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 3.04(c)(iii).

(iv) 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 Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may, with the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) 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 Administrative Agent may with the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) 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.

(v) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower 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 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 Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.

(vi) Administrative Agent Liability. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability in respect to (a) subject to Section 9.03, the administration of, submission of or any other matter related to SOFR, any component definition thereof or rates reference in the definition thereof or any alternative, comparable or successor rate thereto (including any then-current Benchmark or any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, comparable or successor rate (including any Benchmark Replacement)

136

will be similar to, or produce the same value of economic equivalence of SOFR or any other Benchmark, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any inability, failure or delay on its part to perform any of its duties set forth in this Agreement as a result of the unavailability of SOFR (or other applicable Benchmark) and absence of a designated replacement Benchmark, including as a result of any inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other transaction party, including without limitation the Required Lenders, in providing any direction, instruction, notice or information required or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement and reasonably required for the performance of such duties.

Section 3.05 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy and Liquidity Requirements.

(a) If any Lender reasonably determines that as a result of the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law, in each case after the date hereof, or such Lender’s compliance therewith, there shall be any material increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to Term SOFR, or a material reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (including Taxes on or in respect of its loans, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, but excluding for purposes of this Section 3.05(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Excluded Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition thereof) and (iii) Connection Income Taxes, then within 30 days after demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If any Lender reasonably determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy and liquidity requirements or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, in each case after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of materially reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s desired return on capital), then within 30 days after demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (and certifying that such Lender is generally charging such amounts to similarly situated borrowers) (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.

(c) The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves or liquidity with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Term SOFR funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each SOFR Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves or liquidity allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any liquidity

137

requirement, reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the SOFR Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided the Borrower shall have received at least 30 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 30 days’ prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable 30 days from receipt of such notice.

(d) For purposes of this Section 3.05, (i) the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and 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 (other than foreign regulatory authorities in Switzerland), in each case pursuant to Basel III (including to the extent implemented through CRD IV), shall, in each case, be deemed to have gone into effect after the date hereof, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

Section 3.06 Funding Losses. Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating such compensation, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any SOFR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan or pursuant to a conditional notice) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any SOFR Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or

(c) any mandatory assignment of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s SOFR Loans pursuant to Section 3.08 on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loans,

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained (but excluding anticipated profits). The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

Section 3.07 Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation.

(a) A certificate of any Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article III and setting forth in reasonable detail a calculation of the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

138

With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 3.03, 3.04 or 3.05, the Loan Parties shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that, if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.05, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.03, then such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower and at the Borrower’s expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another Lending Office for any Loan affected by such event; provided that such efforts (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not, in the judgment of such Lender be inconsistent with the internal policies of, or otherwise be disadvantageous in any material legal, economic or regulatory respect to such Lender or its Lending Office. The provisions of this clause (b) shall not affect or postpone any Obligations of the Borrower or rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.05.

(c) A Lender shall not be entitled to any compensation pursuant to the foregoing sections to the extent such Lender is not imposing such charges or requesting such compensation from borrowers (similarly situated to the Borrower hereunder) under comparable syndicated credit facilities.

Section 3.08 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.

(a) If at any time (i) the Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts or indemnity payments described in Section 3.01 or 3.05 (other than with respect to Other Taxes) as a result of any condition described in such Sections, (ii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or (iii) any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender (as defined below in this Section 3.08) (collectively, a “Replaceable Lender”), then the Borrower may, on three Business Days’ prior written notice (for the avoidance of doubt, such notice shall be deemed provided on the same day that an amendment or waiver is posted to the Lenders for consent) from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, either (i) replace such Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 10.07(b) (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrower in such instance unless waived by the Administrative Agent) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, in the case of a Non-Consenting Lender, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Facility or Facilities for which its consent is required) to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such Person or (ii) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, terminate the Commitment or prepay the Loans of such Lender and in the case of a Lender, repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing (and the amount of all accrued interest and fees in respect thereof) to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date; provided, further, that (i) in the case of any such replacement of, or termination of Commitments with respect to a Non-Consenting Lender such replacement or termination shall be sufficient (together with all other consenting Lenders including any other replacement Lender) to cause the adoption of the applicable modification, waiver or amendment

139

of the Loan Documents and (ii) in the case of any such replacement as a result of the Borrower having become obligated to pay amounts described in Section 3.01 or 3.05, such replacement would eliminate or reduce payments pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.05, as applicable, in the future. Any Lender being replaced pursuant to this Section 3.08(a) shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and (ii) subject to clause (C) below, deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower (for return to the Borrower) or the Administrative Agent. Pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s Commitment, (B) all Obligations relating to the Loans and participations (and the amount of all accrued interest, fees and premiums in respect thereof) so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such assigning Lender concurrently with such assignment and assumption and (C) upon such payment and, if so requested by the assignee Lender, the assigning ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall deliver to the assignee Lender the applicable Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and participations, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender. In connection with any such replacement, if any such Replaceable Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Assumption reflecting such replacement within two Business Days of the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption to such Replaceable Lender, then such Replaceable Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption without any action on the part of the Replaceable Lender. In connection with the replacement of any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.08(a), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts as may be required pursuant to Section 3.05.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 9.09.

(c) In the event that (i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested the Lenders to consent to a waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or to agree to any amendment or other modification thereto, (ii) the waiver, amendment or modification in question requires the agreement of all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01 or all the Lenders with respect to a certain class of the Loans and (iii) the Required Lenders have agreed to such waiver, amendment or modification, then any Lender who does not agree to such waiver, amendment or modification, in each case, shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender”; provided, that the term “Non-Consenting Lender” shall also include any Lender that rejects (or is deemed to reject) (x) a loan modification offer under Section 10.01, which loan modification has been accepted by at least the Majority Lenders of the respective Tranche of Loans whose Loans and/or Commitments are to be extended pursuant to such loan modification and (y) any Lender that does not elect to become a lender in respect of any Specified Refinancing Debt pursuant to Section 2.18.

(d) Survival. All of the Loan Parties’ obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, any assignment by or replacement of a Lender and any resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent.

140

For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt or is entitled to be incurred or issued as Ratio Debt, Parent may, in its sole discretion, at the time of incurrence or issuance, divide, classify or reclassify, or at any later time divide, classify or reclassify, such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this covenant;

173

provided that all Indebtedness under this Agreement incurred on the Closing Date shall be deemed to have been Incurred pursuant to Section 7.01(a) and Parent shall not be permitted to reclassify all or any portion of Indebtedness Incurred on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 7.01(a). Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of the same class, the accretion of liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or issuance of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this covenant or Section 7.02. Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness that are otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided that the incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was in compliance with this covenant.

For purposes of determining compliance with any Euro-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness or the issuance of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, the Euro-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or first incurred (whichever yields the lower Euro-equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt, or such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock was issued; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is issued to refinance other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may be, denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable Euro-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such Euro-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may be, being refinanced (plus unpaid accrued interest and the aggregate amount of premiums (including tender premiums) and underwriting discounts, defeasance costs and fees, discounts and expenses in connection therewith).

The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued to refinance other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may be, if incurred or issued in a different currency from the Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

Section 7.02 Limitations on Liens. Permit the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon any property or assets of any kind (real or personal, tangible or intangible) of the Parent, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (each, a “Subject Lien”) that secures obligations under any Indebtedness on any asset or property of the Parent, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, except: (a) in the case of Subject Liens on any Collateral, such Subject Lien is a Permitted Lien; and

174

(b) in the case of any other asset or property, any Subject Lien if (i) the Obligations are equally and ratably secured with (or on a senior basis to, in the case such Subject Lien secures any Junior Financing) the obligations secured by such Subject Lien or (ii) such Subject Lien is a Permitted Lien.

Any Lien created for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the preceding clause (b) shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally be released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Subject Lien that gave rise to the obligation to so secure the Obligations.

Section 7.03 Fundamental Changes. Merge, dissolve, liquidate, amalgamate, consolidate (which shall, for the avoidance of doubt, not include the establishment of a fiscal unity for corporate income tax or value added tax purposes) with or into another Person, or Dispose of (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions) all or substantially all of its assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) to or in favor of any Person, except that (other than in the case of clause (c) below), so long as no Event of Default would result therefrom:

(b) (i) any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party may merge, amalgamate or consolidate with or into any other Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party and (ii) any Restricted Subsidiary may liquidate or dissolve, or the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary may (if the validity, perfection and priority of the Liens securing the Obligations is not adversely affected thereby) change its legal form if the Borrower determines in good faith that such action is in the best interest of the Borrower or the Subsidiaries of Parent and is not disadvantageous to the Lenders in any material respect (it being understood that in the case of any dissolution of a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor, such Subsidiary shall at or before the time of such dissolution transfer its assets to another Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor in the same jurisdiction or a different jurisdiction reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent unless such Disposition of assets is permitted hereunder; and in the case of any change in legal form, a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor will remain a Guarantor unless such Guarantor is otherwise permitted to cease being a Guarantor hereunder);

175

(c) Parent and any Restricted Subsidiary may Dispose of all or substantially all of its assets (upon voluntary liquidation or otherwise) to the Borrower or to any Restricted Subsidiary; provided that to the extent constituting an Investment, such Investment must be a Permitted Investment or Restricted Investment permitted under Section 7.05;

(d) Parent and any Restricted Subsidiary may merge, amalgamate or consolidate with, or dissolve into, any other Person in order to effect any Permitted Investment or Restricted Investment permitted under Section 7.05; provided that (i) the continuing or surviving Person shall, to the extent subject to the terms hereof, have complied with the requirements of Section 6.12, (ii) to the extent constituting an Investment, such Investment must be a Permitted Investment or Restricted Investment permitted under Section 7.05, (iii) to the extent constituting a Disposition, such Disposition must be permitted hereunder and (iv) in any merger, amalgamation or consolidation with Parent, Parent shall be the continuing or surviving person;

(1) the Parent or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of Parent, as the case may be, receives consideration (including by way of relief from, or by any other person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (as determined at the time of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(b) any notes or other obligations or other securities or assets received by the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents, or by their terms are required to be satisfied for cash or Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received) within 180 days of the receipt thereof; and

(c) any Designated Non-Cash Consideration received by the Parent or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of Parent in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (c) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $50,000,000 and (y) 25.0% of Four Quarter Consolidated EBITDA, calculated at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-Cash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-Cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value);

shall each be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for the purposes of this clause (2).

Within twelve (12) months after the Parent’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary shall apply an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale, at its option:

(a) to prepay Loans and other Permitted Debt in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(ii).

177

provided that the Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries will be deemed to have complied with the provisions described in clause (b) or (c) of this paragraph if and to the extent that within twelve (12) months after the Asset Sale that generated the Net Cash Proceeds, the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, has entered into and not abandoned or rejected a binding agreement to make an investment in compliance with the provision described in clause (b) and/or (c) of this paragraph, and that investment is thereafter completed within 180 days after the end of such twelve (12) month period.

Pending the final application of any such amount of Net Cash Proceeds pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(ii) and this Section 7.04, the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily invest or utilize such Net Cash Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Agreement.

As of the Closing Date, all of Parent’s Subsidiaries will be Restricted Subsidiaries. The Parent will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to become an Unrestricted Subsidiary except pursuant to the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by the Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries of Parent (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments or Permitted Investments in an amount determined as set forth in the last sentence of the definition of “Investments.” Such designation will only be permitted if a Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment in such amount would be permitted at such time and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to any of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Agreement.

For purposes of the covenant described above in this Section 7.05, if any Investment or Restricted Payment (or a portion thereof) would be permitted pursuant to one or more provisions described above and/or one or more of the exceptions contained in the definition of “Permitted Investments,” Parent may divide and classify such Investment or Restricted Payment (or a portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this covenant and may later divide and reclassify any such Investment or Restricted Payment so long as the Investment or Restricted Payment (as so divided and/or reclassified) would be permitted to be made in reliance on the applicable exception as of the date of such reclassification. For the avoidance of doubt, any Restricted Payment or Investment that is permitted under this Section 7.05 may be made in the form of a loan.

Section 7.06 Burdensome Agreements. Permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(a) (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions to the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of Parent on its Capital Stock; or (ii) pay any Indebtedness owed to the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of Parent;

(b) make loans or advances to the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of Parent;

(c) create, incur, assume or suffer to exist Liens on the Collateral of such Person for the benefit of the Secured Parties with respect to the Obligations or under the Loan Documents; or

(d) sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of Parent.

However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(1) contractual encumbrances or restrictions of the Parent or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of Parent in effect on the Closing Date, including pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, related Swap Contracts and Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 7.01(c);

(5) customary encumbrances or restrictions contained in contracts or agreements for the sale of assets applicable to such assets pending consummation of such sale, including customary restrictions with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary imposed pursuant to an agreement entered into for the sale or disposition of Capital Stock or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary;

(6) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(7) customary provisions in operating or other similar agreements, asset sale agreements and stock sale agreements entered into in connection with the entering into of such transaction, which limitation is applicable only to the assets that are the subject of those agreements;

(9) customary provisions contained in leases, sub-leases, licenses, sublicenses, contracts and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business to the extent such obligations impose restrictions of the type described in clause (c) or (d) in the first paragraph of this Section 7.06 on the property subject to such lease;

188

(10) any encumbrance or restriction effected in connection with a Qualified Receivables Financing or Qualified Receivables Factoring that, in the good faith determination of the Parent, are necessary or advisable to effect such Qualified Receivables Financing or Qualified Receivables Factoring, as applicable;

(11) any encumbrance or restriction in respect of or contained in other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary that is incurred subsequent to the Closing Date pursuant to Section 7.01, provided that (i) such encumbrances and restrictions in respect of or contained in any agreement or instrument will not materially affect the Borrower’s ability to make anticipated principal or interest payments under this Agreement (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) or (ii) such encumbrances and restrictions contained in any agreement or instrument taken as a whole are not materially less favorable to the Lenders than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in this Agreement (as determined by Parent in good faith);

(12) any encumbrance or restriction contained in secured Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred pursuant to Sections 7.01 and/or 7.02 to the extent limiting the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets securing such Indebtedness;

(13) any encumbrance or restriction arising or agreed to in the ordinary course of business, not relating to any Indebtedness, and that do not, individually or in the aggregate, (x) detract from the value of the property or assets of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary in any manner material to the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary or (y) materially affect the Borrower’s ability to make future principal or interest payments under this Agreement, in each case, as determined by Parent in good faith;

(14) customary provisions in Joint Venture agreements or arrangements and other similar agreements or arrangements relating solely to the applicable Joint Venture; and

(15) any encumbrances or restrictions of the type referred to in clauses 7.06(a), (b) and (c) imposed by any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in 7.06 (1) through (14); provided that such encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing are, in the good faith judgment of the Parent, not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than the encumbrances and restrictions prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 7.06, (i) the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on common stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock and (ii) the subordination of loans or advances made to the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness incurred by the Parent or any such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances.

189

With respect to the Parent or Borrower, make any change in fiscal year; provided, however, that the Parent or the Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, change any fiscal year to any other fiscal year reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, in which case, the Parent or the Borrower and the Administrative Agent will, and are hereby authorized by the Lenders to, make any amendments to this Agreement and any other Loan Documents that are necessary, in the judgment of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower or Parent, as applicable, to reflect such change in fiscal year.

Section 7.08 Material Intellectual Property/Farfetch Italia Negative Pledge.

(a) Create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien:

(A) on Material Intellectual Property securing (i) Indebtedness in respect of borrowed money, (ii) Indebtedness evidenced by bonds, notes, debentures or similar instruments or letters of credit or bankers’ acceptances (or, without duplication, reimbursement obligations in respect thereof) or (iii) any Guarantee of the foregoing, in each case in an individual principal amount in excess of $5,000,000 of Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, unless, Parent provides, or causes the applicable Restricted Subsidiary to provide, subject to the Agreed Security Principles, that the Obligations are secured equally and ratably by a Lien on such Material Intellectual Property, unless the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree in writing that the cost or consequence of obtaining or perfecting a security interest in such assets is excessive in relation to the value of such assets as Collateral; or

(B) in all respects subject to the joint venture or shareholders’ agreements in place at the time of entry with respect thereto, over the Equity Interests of Farfetch Italia S.r.l. (or the Equity Interests of any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of Farfetch Italia S.r.l which are incorporated either in the U.S. or Italy, such Restricted Subsidiaries of Farfetch Italia S.r.l, the “Relevant Farfetch Subsidiaries”), unless Parent provides, or causes Farfetch Italia S.r.l or the applicable Relevant Farfetch Subsidiary to provide, subject to the Agreed Security Principles, that the Obligations are secured equally and ratably by a Lien on the Equity Interests of Farfetch Italia S.r.l or the Relevant Farfetch Subsidiary (as applicable), unless the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree in writing that the cost or consequence of obtaining or perfecting a security interest in such assets is excessive in relation to the value of such assets as Collateral).

(C) in all respects subject to the joint venture or shareholders’ agreements in place at the time of entry with respect thereto, over the Equity Interests of YOOX Net-a-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group S.p.A.

190

▇▇▇▇▇▇ in accordance with the terms of the relevant acquisition agreement(s) entered into in connection with such acquisition), unless, Parent provides, or causes the applicable Restricted Subsidiary to provide, subject to the Agreed Security Principles, that the Obligations are secured equally and ratably by a Lien on the Equity Interests of Yoox Net-a-▇▇▇▇▇▇, unless the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree in writing that the cost or consequence of obtaining or perfecting a security interest in such assets is excessive in relation to the value of such assets as Collateral).

The foregoing obligation under paragraph (A) will not apply with respect to (x) any Liens on Material Intellectual Property securing Indebtedness that existed at the time the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary acquired such Material Intellectual Property and that includes a restriction on the rateable and equal securing of the Obligations; provided, however, that such Liens are not created or Incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such acquisition and (y) any Liens on Material Intellectual Property arising automatically by operation of law. Any Lien created for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the preceding sentence shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally be released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the applicable Lien on Material Intellectual Property that gave rise to the obligation to so secure the Obligations by a Lien over such Material Intellectual Property.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, no Material Intellectual Property shall be permitted to be transferred:

(i) to any Unrestricted Subsidiary, including by designation hereunder; or

(ii) for the primary purpose and/or with the primary intention of circumventing the Collateral provided under the Collateral Documents (noting that the shares in Loan Parties and Subsidiaries of Loan Parties (directly or indirectly) form part of the Collateral whereas the shares in other Restricted Subsidiaries may not form part of the Collateral), by a Loan Party or a Subsidiary of a Loan Party to a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party or a Subsidiary of a Loan Party,

in each case, other than licenses of IP Rights in the ordinary course of business.

Section 7.09 Changes in Covenants Upon Investment Grade Rating.

(a) If on any date following the Closing Date the Parent achieves any two of the following corporate ratings: (i) Baa3 (or the equivalent) or higher from ▇▇▇▇▇’▇, (ii) BBB- (or the equivalent) or higher from S&P or (iii) BBB- (or equivalent) or higher from Fitch (the achievement of any such two ratings in clauses (i) through (iii), the “Investment Grade Rating Condition”), then, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, beginning on that day and subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, the covenants contained in Sections 7.01, 7.04 (and 2.05(b)), 7.05, 7.06 and 6.18 will be suspended.

191

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.09(a), if the rating assigned by such rating agencies with respect to the Parent should subsequently decline such that the Investment Grade Rating Condition cannot be satisfied, the foregoing covenants will be reinstituted, as of and from the date that the Investment Grade Rating Condition cannot be satisfied, unless and until the Parent subsequently attains ratings such that the Investment Grade Rating Condition can be satisfied (in which event the suspended covenants will again be suspended for such time that the Parent and its Subsidiaries satisfy the Investment Grade Rating Condition); provided, however, that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind will be deemed to exist under this Agreement, the Collateral Documents or the related Guarantees with respect to the suspended covenants, and the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries will not bear any liability for any actions taken or events occurring after the Parent and its Subsidiaries achieve the Investment Grade Rating Condition and before any reinstatement of the suspended covenants as provided above, or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising prior to the reinstatement, regardless of whether those actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable suspended covenant had remained in effect during such period.

195

Section 8.03 Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.02 (or after the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) as a result of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.17, be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

(a) first, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel payable under Section 10.04 and amounts payable under Article III and amounts owing in respect of (x) the preservation of Collateral or the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral or (y) with respect to enforcing the rights of the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents) payable to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, in their respective capacities as such;

(b) second, to payment in full of Unfunded Advances/Participations;

(c) third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders (including fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel payable under Sections 10.04 and 10.05) arising under the Loan Documents and amounts payable under Article III, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (c) held by them;

(d) fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (d) held by them;

(f) sixth, to the payment of all other Obligations of the Loan Parties owing under or in respect of the Loan Documents that are then due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations then owing to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties; and

(g) last, after all of the Obligations have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and owing), to the Parent, the Borrower or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same,

provided that no amounts received from any Guarantor shall be applied to Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements shall be excluded from the application of payments described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be. Each Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article IX for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

196

It is understood and agreed by each Loan Party and each Secured Party that the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any determinations made by it in this Section 8.03, in each case except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence, or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). Each Loan Party and each Secured Party also agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be required to), at any time and in its sole discretion, and with no liability resulting therefrom, petition a court of competent jurisdiction regarding any application of Collateral in accordance with the requirements hereof, and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to wait for, and may conclusively rely on, any such determination.

Regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing and without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative or attorney-in-fact relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b) Each Lender irrevocably appoints Wilmington Trust, National Association (i) to act on its behalf as Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) authorizes it to act as the agent of (and to hold any security interest created by the Collateral Documents, other than any Collateral Document in a jurisdiction for which such concept does not exist or is not customary, for and on behalf of or in trust for) such Lender, for purposes of acquiring,

197

holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Collateral Agent (and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 9.02 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Collateral Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX (including Section 9.07, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents) and Section 10.04 as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto and all references to Administrative Agent in this Article IX shall, where applicable, be read as including a reference to the Collateral Agent.

(c) The Lenders hereby expressly authorize, direct and empower the Collateral Agent to execute and sign in the name and on behalf of each such Lender any and all documents (including releases, payoff letters and similar documents) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto (including any intercreditor agreement), as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents and acknowledge and agree that any such action by the Collateral Agent shall bind the Secured Parties.

Section 9.02 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may execute any of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents or of exercising any rights and remedies thereunder) by or through agents, employees, attorneys or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers by or through their respective Agent-Related Persons. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent, attorney or attorney-in-fact that they select in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (as applicable), as determined by a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. The exculpatory provisions of this Article IX shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Agent-Related Persons of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (as applicable).

(e) In no event shall the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent be required to expend or risk any of its own funds or otherwise incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of its duties under the Loan Documents or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers under the Loan Documents.

(f) The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to take any action or refuse to take any action which the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, regards as necessary for it to comply with any applicable law, regulation, court order, writ or decree.

(k) In taking or omitting to take any action in respect of the Parallel Obligations as contemplated pursuant to Section 9.16, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to the same rights, protections, immunities and indemnities to which it is entitled in connection with any action taken or omitted to be taken in respect of the Original Obligations.

(l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Agent shall have any duty to prepare or file any Federal or state tax report or return with respect to any funds held pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any income earned thereon, except for the delivery and filing of tax information reporting forms required to be delivered and filed with the Internal Revenue Service. Each Party agrees that, for tax reporting purposes, the Collateral shall be deemed to be the property of the applicable Loan Party and all interest and other income from investment of the Collateral shall, as of the end of each calendar year and to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Service, be reported as having been earned by the applicable Loan Party, whether or not such income was disbursed during such calendar year. With respect to the preparation, delivery and filing of such required tax information reporting forms and all matters pertaining to the reporting of earnings on funds held under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Agent shall be entitled to request and receive written instructions from the Borrower and any other Loan Party and each Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively and without further inquiry on such written instructions.

(m) If any conflict, disagreement or dispute arises between, among, or involving any of the Parties concerning the meaning or validity of any provision hereunder or concerning any other matter relating to this Agreement, or any Agent is in doubt as to the action to be taken hereunder, such Agent may, at its option, after sending written notice of the same to the Lenders, refuse to act until such time as it (a) receives a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing delivery of the Collateral or (b) receives a written instruction, executed by each of the parties involved in such disagreement or dispute, in a form reasonably acceptable to such Agent, directing delivery of the Collateral.

(p) No Agent shall have any liability for any failure, inability or unwillingness on the part of any Loan Party or any Secured Party to provide accurate and complete information on a timely basis to such Agent, or otherwise on the part of any such party to comply with the terms of this Agreement, and shall not have any liability for any inaccuracy or error in the performance or observance on such Agent’s part of any of its duties hereunder that is caused by or results from any such inaccurate, incomplete or untimely information received by it, or other failure on the part of any such other party to comply with the terms hereof.

(q) Each Agent shall be afforded all of the rights, powers, immunities and indemnities set forth in this Agreement in all of the other Loan Documents to which it is a signatory as if such rights, powers, immunities and indemnities were specifically set out in each such other Loan Document.

(r) Each Agent hereby disclaims any representation or warranty to any Secured Party concerning, and shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by the Borrower or any other Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall any Agent be responsible or liable to any Secured Party for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. No Agent makes any representation as to the value, sufficiency or condition of the Collateral or any part thereof, as to the title of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to the Collateral, or as to the security afforded by this Agreement or any other Loan Document. No Agent shall be responsible for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of Taxes, charges, assessments or liens upon the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the maintenance of the Collateral, except as expressly provided in the immediately following sentence when the Collateral Agent has possession of the Collateral.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be under any obligation independently to request or examine

202

insurance coverage with respect to any Collateral. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for the acts or omissions of any bank, depositary bank, custodian, independent counsel of the Borrower or any other party selected by such Agent with reasonable care or selected by any other party hereto that may hold or possess Collateral or documents related to Collateral, and each of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall not be required to monitor the performance of any such Persons holding Collateral. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible to the Secured Parties for the perfection of any Lien or for the filing, form, content or renewal of any UCC financing statements, fixture filings, mortgages, deeds of trust and such other documents or instruments. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the preparation, form, content, sufficiency or adequacy of any such financing statements.

(s) If a payment is made by the Collateral Agent (or its Related Parties) in error (whether known to the recipient or not) or if the Administrative Agent or another recipient of funds is not otherwise entitled to receive such funds at such time of such payment or from such Person in accordance with the Loan Documents, then such Administrative Agent or recipient shall forthwith on demand repay to the Collateral Agent the portion of such payment that was made in error (or otherwise not intended (as determined by the Collateral Agent) to be received) in the amount made available by the Collateral Agent (or its Related Parties) to such Administrative Agent or recipient, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Collateral Agent (or its Related Parties) to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Collateral Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Collateral Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. The Administrative Agent and other party hereto waives the discharge for value defense in respect of any such payment.

Section 9.04 Reliance by Agents.

(a) Each Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, request, consent, certificate, instrument, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution statement or other document or conversation reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons. Each Agent also may conclusively rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and reasonably believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Each Agent may consult with, and rely upon (and be fully protected in relying upon), advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive written direction from the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any

203

such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a direction, request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) or solely with respect to the Collateral Agent, in accordance with a direction, request or consent of the Administrative Agent and, in each case, any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders. In addition to the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall in all cases also be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a direction, request or consent and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.

(b) Each Lender that has signed this Agreement (or any counterpart thereof, including any consent or participation notice) shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date, specifying its objection thereto.

Section 9.05 Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except solely with respect to the Administrative Agent, with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless such Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Parent or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The applicable Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to any Event of Default as may be directed in writing by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article VIII; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable.

Section 9.06 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Agents. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the

204

business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by any Agent herein, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

Section 9.07 Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender shall, on a ratable basis based on such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Pro Rata Share of all the Facilities, indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person in each case from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by such Agent-Related Person; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any Indemnified Liabilities incurred by an Agent-Related Person to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided further, however, that no action taken by any Agent-Related Person in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents), or in the case of the Collateral Agent, taken in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section ▇.▇▇.▇▇ the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 9.07 shall apply whether or not any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent 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 the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto; provided, further, that failure of any Lender to indemnify or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation in respect thereof. The undertaking in this Section 9.07 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent. This Section 9.07 shall not apply with respect to Taxes, other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

Section 9.08 Agents in their Individual Capacities. Any Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Capital Stock in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates as though it were not an Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that,

205

pursuant to such activities, an Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that such Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, such Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include such Agent in its individual capacity (unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires). Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 9.09 Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent each may resign as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, upon 30 days’ written notice to the Borrower and the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent or a controlling Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is subject to an Agent-Related Distress Event, the Borrower may remove such Agent from such role upon ten (10) days’ written notice to the Lenders. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of a Specified Event of Default (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed in the case of a successor that is a commercial bank or other entity with a combined capital and surplus of at least $5,000,000,000, but may otherwise be withheld or delayed in ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s sole discretion). If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation or removal, as applicable, of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent (other than to the extent subject to an Agent-Related Distress Event or if the Administrative Agent is being removed as a result of it being a Disqualified Institution in which case Parent may, after consulting with the Required Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, meeting the qualifications set forth above), as applicable, the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower and subject to the consent rights of the Borrower set forth above, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Collateral Agent,” as applicable, shall mean such successor administrative agent or such successor collateral agent, as applicable, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be terminated. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall continue in effect for its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent by the date which is 30 days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s notice of resignation or removal, the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that (x) in the case of any Collateral security held by the

206

Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall continue to hold such Collateral security (including any Collateral security subsequently delivered to the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable) as bailee, trustee or other applicable capacity until such time as a successor of such Agent is appointed and (y) the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall continue to act as collateral agent for the purposes of identifying a “security agent” (or similar title) in any filing or recording financing statements, amendments thereto or other applicable filings or recordings with any Governmental Authority necessary for the perfection of the liens on Collateral securing the Obligations to the extent required by the Loan Documents), (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section 9.09 and (iii) other than as provided in the parenthetical in clause (i) above, the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents, the successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor or upon the expiration of the 30-day period following the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s notice of resignation or removal without a successor agent having been appointed, the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents other than as specifically set forth in clause (i) above of this Section 9.09 but the provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Agent-Related Persons in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them solely in respect of the Loan Documents or Obligations, as applicable, while the retiring Agent was acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable.

(e) enter into (or amend, renew, extend, supplement, restate, replace, waive or otherwise modify) any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement or any other intercreditor agreement or subordination agreement, collateral trust agreement, or other intercreditor agreement (including a payment waterfall), in each case in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, (to the extent the Indebtedness being incurred or secured in connection therewith is not prohibited from being incurred under Section 7.01 or 7.02 of this Agreement, which the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be required to enter into upon the delivery a certificate described in the following sentence) in connection with any refinancing facilities or notes, Incremental Facilities, Incremental Equivalent Debt or other Indebtedness or

209

obligations (including, without limitation, to the extent secured by Liens on Collateral) not prohibited (including with respect to priority) hereunder. The Lenders and the other Secured Parties expressly and irrevocably agree that (x) with respect to any actions sought to be taken pursuant to this Section 9.11(d), the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may conclusively rely exclusively on a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Parent as to whether any Indebtedness or Liens are not prohibited (including with respect to priority) and whether such Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, subordination agreement, collateral trust agreement, or other intercreditor agreement or similar arrangements (or, in each case, any such amendment or modification thereto or restatement thereof) satisfy the requirements of the Loan Documents and (y) any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, collateral trust agreement or any other intercreditor agreement (including a payment waterfall) (or, in each case, any such amendment or modification thereto or restatement thereof) entered into by the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent shall be binding on the Secured Parties, and each Lender and the other Secured Parties hereby expressly and irrevocably agrees that it will take no actions contrary to the provisions of, if entered into and if applicable, any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, collateral trust agreement or other intercreditor agreement (including a payment waterfall) (or, in each case, any such amendment or modification thereto or restatement thereof). Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s and/or the Collateral Agent’s authority to enter into any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement or any other intercreditor agreement or subordination agreement, collateral trust agreement, or other intercreditor agreement and to the extent so requested, shall not be required to enter into such Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, other intercreditor agreement, subordination agreement or collateral trust agreement unless and until such authority is confirmed by the Required Lenders.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s and Collateral Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.11; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not be required to request such confirmation in writing. In each case as specified in this Section 9.11, the applicable Agent will (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the applicable Agent to), at the Borrower’s sole expense, execute and deliver, without representation, warranty or recourse, to the applicable Loan Party such documents provided to it and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Agent) as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release or subordination of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, or to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.11; provided however that in no event shall the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent be obliged to execute or deliver any document evidencing any release or subordination without receipt of certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower or the Parent certifying that such release or subordination is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

210

Each of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties irrevocably authorizes, directs and instructs the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to conclusively rely on any certificate of a Responsible Officer of Parent to the effect that a release or subordination of a Lien over Collateral or a release of a Guaranty is in compliance with, and authorized or permitted by, this Agreement and the Loan Documents without independent investigation, and release or subordination of its interests in any Collateral or release or subordination of any Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Documents pursuant to this Section 9.11 (including, each case of the foregoing, by filing applicable termination statements and/or returning pledged Collateral). Any such certificate shall be conclusive and binding and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for acting in reliance thereon.

Additionally, upon receipt by it of the certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower or the Parent referenced above and the reasonable written request of the Borrower, the Collateral Agent will return possessory Collateral held by it that is released from the security interests created by the Collateral Documents pursuant to this Section 9.11.

Section 9.12 Other Agents; Arranger and Managers.

(a) No Arranger is responsible or liable for:

(i) the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information (whether oral or written) supplied by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, a Loan Party or any other Person in or in connection with any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Loan Document;

(ii) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any Loan Document or the Collateral or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Loan or the Collateral; or

Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

Section 9.13 Remedies. Subject to the terms of any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, take such actions with respect to such Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, in the absence of such direction, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default to the extent permitted hereunder or pursuant to the other Loan Documents. Subject to the terms of any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent of a direction by the Required Lenders and indemnity satisfactory to such Agent against any risk or liability that may be incurred by such Agent in acting upon such direction, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall seek to enforce the Collateral Documents and to realize upon

211

the Collateral in accordance with such direction; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to follow any direction by Required Lenders if the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent reasonably determines that such direction is in conflict with any provisions of any applicable law or any Collateral Document, and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not, under any circumstances, be liable to any Lenders, the Borrower or any other Person or entity for following the direction of Required Lenders. Subject to the terms of any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, at all times, if the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent acts at the direction of the Required Lenders, each of the Lenders will cooperate in good faith with respect to such action and will not unreasonably delay the enforcement of the Collateral Documents.

Section 9.14 Appointment of Supplemental Agents, Incremental Arranger, Incremental Equivalent Debt Arranger and Specified Refinancing Agents.

(a) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by them, as applicable, in their sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent, as applicable (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Agents”).

(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent appoints a Supplemental Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent or such Supplemental Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article IX and of Sections 10.04 and 10.05 (obligating the Borrower to pay the Administrative Agent’s and the Collateral Agent’s expenses and to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent) that refer to the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent and/or such Supplemental Agent, as the context may require.

212

(c) Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower or any other Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent. In case any Supplemental Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, until the appointment of a new Supplemental Agent.

(d) In the event that the Borrower appoints or designates any Incremental Arranger, Incremental Equivalent Debt Arranger or Specified Refinancing Agent pursuant to Section 2.14, 2.15 and/or 2.18, as applicable, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to an agent or arranger with respect to New Loan Commitments, Incremental Equivalent Debt or Specified Refinancing Debt, as applicable, shall be exercisable by and vest in such Incremental Arranger, Incremental Equivalent Debt Arranger or Specified Refinancing Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Incremental Arranger, Incremental Equivalent Debt Arranger or Specified Refinancing Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to the New Loan Commitments, Incremental Equivalent Debt or Specified Refinancing Debt, as applicable, and to perform such duties with respect to such New Loan Commitments, Incremental Equivalent Debt or Specified Refinancing Debt, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Incremental Arranger, Incremental Equivalent Debt Arranger or Specified Refinancing Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the Administrative Agent or such Incremental Arranger, Incremental Equivalent Debt Arranger or Specified Refinancing Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article IX and of Sections 10.04 and 10.05 (obligating the Borrower to pay the Administrative Agent’s and the Collateral Agent’s expenses and to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent) that refer to the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Incremental Arranger, Incremental Equivalent Debt Arranger or Specified Refinancing Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent shall be deemed to include references to the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent and/or such Incremental Arranger, Incremental Equivalent Debt Arranger or Specified Refinancing Agent, as the context may require. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints any Incremental Arranger, Incremental Equivalent Debt Arranger or Specified Refinancing Agent to act on its behalf hereunder and under the other Loan Documents pursuant to Section 2.14, 2.15 and/or 2.18, as applicable, and designates and authorizes such Incremental Arranger, Incremental Equivalent Debt Arranger or Specified Refinancing Agent to take such actions on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Incremental Arranger, Incremental Equivalent Debt Arranger or Specified Refinancing Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

213

Section 9.15 Intercreditor Agreements. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are authorized and directed by the Lenders and the other Secured Parties to, upon the written request of Parent, (i) enter into any applicable intercreditor agreement contemplated by Section 9.11(e), (ii) enter into any Collateral Document, and (iii) make or consent to any filings or take any other actions in connection therewith (and any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to, such agreements in connection with the incurrence by any Loan Party of any Indebtedness of such Loan Party that is permitted to be secured pursuant to Section 7.01 and/or 7.02 of this Agreement, in order to permit such Indebtedness to be secured by a valid, perfected lien on the Collateral (with such priority as may be designated by such Loan Party, to the extent such priority is not prohibited by the Loan Documents)), and the parties hereto acknowledge that any intercreditor agreement, Collateral Document, consent, filing or other action will be binding upon them. Each Lender (a) hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of any intercreditor agreement (if entered into) and (b) hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into any such intercreditor agreement or Collateral Document (and any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to, such agreements in connection with the incurrence by any Loan Party of any Indebtedness of such Loan Party that is permitted to be secured pursuant to Section 7.01 and/or 7.02 of this Agreement, in order to permit such Indebtedness to be secured by a valid, perfected lien on the Collateral (with such priority as may be designated by such Loan Party, to the extent such priority is not prohibited by the Loan Documents)), and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations to the provisions thereof.

Section 9.16 Parallel Debt. For the purpose of taking and ensuring the continuing validity of each Lien on the Collateral granted under the Collateral Documents governed by the laws of (or to the extent affecting assets situated in) the Netherlands or any other jurisdiction in which an effective Lien cannot be granted in favor of the Collateral Agent as agent for the Secured Parties, notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document:

(a) each Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Collateral Agent as an independent and separate creditor an amount (the “Parallel Obligations”) equal to: (i) all present and future, actual or contingent amounts owing by such Loan Party to a Secured Party under or in connection with the Loan Documents, the Secured Hedge Agreements and the Secured Cash Management Agreements as and when the same fall due for payment under or in connection with the Loan Documents, the Secured Hedge Agreements and the Secured Cash Management Agreements (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any change or increase in those obligations pursuant to or in connection with any amendment or supplement or restatement or novation or other modification of any Loan Document, any Secured Hedge Agreement or any Secured Cash Management Agreement in each case whether or not anticipated as of the date of this Agreement); (ii) any amount which such Loan Party owes to a Secured Party as a result of a party rescinding a Loan Document, Secured Hedge Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement or as a result of invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of a Loan Document, Secured Hedge Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement; and (iii) the Obligations owing by such Loan Party to a Secured Party, in each case without duplication and excluding the Parallel Obligations (collectively, the “Original Obligations”);

(b) the Collateral Agent shall have its own independent right to claim performance of the Parallel Obligations (including, without limitation, any suit, execution, enforcement of security, recovery of guarantees and applications for and voting in respect of any kind of insolvency proceedings) and the Parallel Obligations shall not constitute the Collateral Agent and any Secured Party as joint creditors;

214

(c) the Parallel Obligations shall not limit or affect the existence of the Original Obligations for which the Secured Parties shall have an independent right to demand payment;

(d) notwithstanding paragraphs (b) and (c) above:

(1) a Loan Party’s Parallel Obligation is due and payable at the same time as, for the same amount of and in the same currency as its Original Obligation;

(2) the Parallel Obligations shall be decreased to the extent the Collateral Agent receives (and retains) and applies any payment against the discharge of its Parallel Obligations and the Original Obligations shall be decreased to the same extent;

(3) payment by a Loan Party of its Original Obligations to the relevant Secured Party shall to the same extent decrease and be a good discharge of the Parallel Obligations owing by it to the Collateral Agent; and

(4) if any Original Obligation is subject to any limitations under the Loan Documents, then the same limitations shall apply mutatis mutandis to the relevant Parallel Obligation corresponding to that Original Obligation;

(e) the Parallel Obligations are owed to the Collateral Agent in its own name on behalf of itself and not as agent or representative of any other person nor as trustee and all property subject to a Lien on Collateral shall secure the Parallel Obligations so owing to the Collateral Agent in its capacity of creditor of the Parallel Obligations;

(f) each Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to require a Secured Party to join any proceedings as co-claimant with the Collateral Agent in respect of any claim by the Collateral Agent against a Loan Party under this Section 9.16;

(g) each Loan Party agrees that:

(i) any defect affecting a claim of the Collateral Agent against any Loan Party under this Section 9.16 will not affect any claim of a Secured Party against such Loan Party under or in connection with the Loan Documents; and

(ii) any defect affecting a claim of a Secured Party against any Loan Party under or in connection with the Loan Documents will not affect any claim of the Collateral Agent under this Section 9.16; and

(h) if the Collateral Agent returns to any Loan Party, whether in any kind of insolvency proceedings or otherwise, any recovery in respect of which it has made a payment to a Secured Party, that Secured Party must repay an amount equal to that recovery to the Collateral Agent.

215

Section 9.17 Erroneous Payments.

(a) Each Lender and other Secured Party hereby agrees that (x) if any Administrative Agent notifies such Lender or Secured Party that such Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender or Secured Party from such Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender or Secured Party (whether or not known to such Lender or Secured Party), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender or Secured Party shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to such Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or Secured Party to the date such amount is repaid to such Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by such Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender or Secured Party shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to such Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by such Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of such Administrative Agent to any Lender or Secured Party under this Section 9.17 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

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

(c) The Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Lender or Secured Party that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, such Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender or Secured Party with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such erroneous Payment. For the avoidance of doubt, no vesting or sale pursuant to the foregoing clause (c) will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

216

(d) Each party’s obligations under this Section 9.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of any Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Secured Party, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 9.18 Secured Cash Management Agreements, Secured Cash Management Bank, Secured Hedge Bank and Secured Hedge Agreements.

(a) Prior to being recognized as a secured Hedge Bank or a secured Cash Management Bank hereunder, any potential secured Hedge Bank or a secured Cash Management Bank shall first be required to execute a joinder attached hereto as Exhibit I and deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Borrower. Upon the Administrative Agent’s, the Collateral Agent’s and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s receipt of an executed joinder, such entity shall become a secured Hedge Bank or a secured Cash Management Bank, as the case may be, hereunder and the other Loan Documents. By its execution of a joinder, each secured Hedge Bank or secured Cash Management Bank shall be deemed to have agreed to the Administrative Agent’s and the Collateral Agent’s rights, protections, immunities and indemnities set forth in Article IX, and such rights, protections, immunities and indemnities shall be equally applicable with respect to the secured Hedge Bank or secured Cash Management Bank. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities afforded to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in Article IX with respect to the Lenders shall also be applicable to any secured Hedge Bank or secured Cash Management Bank as if such secured Hedge Bank or secured Cash Management Bank were specifically set forth in Article IX.

(b) Each secured Hedge Bank and secured Cash Management Bank hereby appoints the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent as its agent, and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereby agrees to act as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, as applicable, for such secured Hedge Bank and secured Cash Management Bank; it being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of each secured Hedge Bank and secured Cash Management Bank under the Loan Documents consist exclusively of such secured Hedge Bank and secured Cash Management Bank being a beneficiary of the Liens and security interests (and, if applicable, guarantees) granted to the Collateral Agent and the right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral as more fully set forth herein. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX to the contrary, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements unless, solely with respect to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.

217

(c) The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are hereby authorized and directed by each secured Hedge Bank and secured Cash Management Bank to execute, deliver and perform each of the Loan Documents or any other related document to which the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent is or is intended to be a party, and each secured Hedge Bank and secured Cash Management Bank further acknowledges and consents to the Administrative Agent’s and the Collateral Agent’s, rights, protections, immunities and indemnities afforded to it under any other Loan Document, whether or not the secured Hedge Bank or secured Cash Management Bank shall be a party thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, it is understood and agreed that the Lenders shall be the only Secured Parties entitled to instruct and direct the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take, or omit to take, any action (including, without limitation, in connection with any default, Event of Default or enforcement of remedies) hereunder or under any Loan Document. Each secured Hedge Bank and secured Cash Management Bank agrees that it shall not have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents, and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall in no event be responsible or liable for failing to comply with any such direction or instruction to the extent so provided.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, at any time that any secured Hedge Bank or secured Cash Management Bank has no Obligations outstanding under its Secured Cash Management Agreement or Secured Hedge Agreement, as applicable, it shall provide written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Borrower and thereafter such secured Hedge Bank or secured Cash Management Bank shall have no rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and in no event shall the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to any secured Hedge Bank or secured Cash Management Bank for any act or omission or potential liabilities occurring during any such time that such secured Hedge Bank or secured Cash Management Bank has no Obligations outstanding under its Secured Cash Management Agreement or Secured Hedge Agreement, as applicable. In addition, each secured Hedge Bank and secured Cash Management Bank agrees that if, at any time its Obligations under its Secured Cash Management Agreement or Secured Hedge Agreement, as applicable, have terminated, upon such secured Hedge Bank or secured Cash Management Bank incurring new Obligations, it shall provide written notice of the incurrence and the amount thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent.

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent, to any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not

228

been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.07 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that, other than in connection with a transaction permitted under Section 7.03, neither the Borrower nor the Parent may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee (other than to (x) any natural person (y) Disqualified Institution to the extent the list of Disqualified Institutions has been made available, or is available upon request of the Administrative Agent, to the Lenders or (z) any Sanctioned Entity) in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(d), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.07(f) or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(g) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.07(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) 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(s) and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that:

(i) (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment under any Facility and the Loans at the time owing to it under such Facility, no minimum amount shall need be assigned, and (B) in any case not described in clause (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the outstanding principal balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative 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 in the case of any assignment in respect of a Term Facility, in each case unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed unless otherwise specified herein); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met; provided, further, that assignments to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund shall not be subject to the foregoing minimum amounts;

229

(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, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis;

(iii) no consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition (A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed unless otherwise specified herein) shall be required for any assignment unless (1) a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is in respect of a Term Facility and is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (other than any Disqualified Institution, to the extent the list of Disqualified Institutions has been made available, or is available upon request of the Administrative Agent, to the Lenders) provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment unless Borrower objects thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having received notice thereof, provided that such notice has been provided to each of [***] ([***]), [***] ([***]), [***] ([***]), [***] ([***]) and [***] ([***]), and (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment unless such assignment is in respect of a Term Facility and to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that, except in the case of any assignment by a Lender to any of its Affiliates or any of its Approved Funds (as the case may be), the Administrative Agent shall acknowledge any such assignment in the case of clause (B);

(iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (except, (x) no such fee shall be required when such assignment is made in connection with the primary syndication of the Term Loans and (y) the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may elect to waive such processing and recording fee in the case of any assignment). Each Eligible Assignee that is not an existing Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire;

(v) no such assignment shall be made (A) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this subclause (A), (B) to any natural person, (C) to any Disqualified Institution, to the extent the list of Disqualified Institutions has been made available, or is available upon request of the Administrative Agent, to the Lenders or (D) to Parent, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries except as permitted under clause (j) below;

230

(vi) [reserved];

(vii) the assigning Lender shall deliver any Notes or, in lieu thereof, a lost note affidavit and indemnity reasonably acceptable to the Borrower evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent;

(viii) in connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable Pro Rata Share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Pro Rata Share of all Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this clause, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to, or the restrictions on any exercise of rights or remedies of, any Disqualified Institutions;

(ix) the Eligible Assignee confirms its status pursuant to Section 3.01(g) and delivers to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent documentation pursuant to Section 3.01(g); and

(x) the Eligible Assignee shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the assigning Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the Commitment(s) and the Loans assigned to such Eligible Assignee, had such assignment not taken place.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.07(c), 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, 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

231

to be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to the obligations pursuant to, Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment, and subject to the obligations set forth in Section 10.08). Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the applicable Borrower (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 (other than any purported assignment or transfer to a Disqualified Institution, to the extent the list of Disqualified Institutions has been made available, or is available upon the request of the Administrative Agent, to the Lenders) that does not comply with this clause (b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.07(d).

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register in which it shall record the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related 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 Borrower, the Agents 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. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice; provided that the Register shall only be available to each Lender in respect of itself. This Section 10.07(c) and Section 2.11 shall be construed so that all Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Section 163(f) of the Code and any related final or proposed United States Treasury Regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such United States Treasury Regulations).

(d) Any Lender may without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Person that the Administrative Agent has identified in a notice to the Lenders as a Defaulting Lender or a Disqualified Institution, to the extent the list of Disqualified Institutions has been made available, or is available upon the request of the Administrative Agent, to the Lenders, or any Sanctioned Entity) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); 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 Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’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 the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; 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 10.01 that directly and adversely affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.07(e), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled

232

to the benefits and obligations of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and the limitations of such Sections and Section 3.08, including the requirements under Section 3.01(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(b); provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.05 and 3.01, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.

(e) A Participant shall not be entitled, based on its circumstances existing at the time the participation is granted, to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant.

(f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) (other than to a Disqualified Institution, to the extent the list of Disqualified Institutions has been made available, or is available upon request of the Administrative Agent, to the Lenders, or to a natural person) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) such SPC confirms its status pursuant to Section 3.01(g) and delivers to the Borrower and Administrative Agent documentation pursuant to Section 3.01(g), (ii) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (iii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative Agent as is required under Section 2.12(b)(ii). Each party hereto hereby agrees that an SPC shall be entitled to the benefits and subject to the obligations of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and the limitations of such Sections and Section 3.08); provided that neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05). Each party hereto further agrees that (i) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (ii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the Lender of record hereunder. Other than as expressly provided in this Section 10.07(g), (A) such Granting Lender’s obligations

233

under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Granting Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Granting Lender in connection with such Granting Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not, other than in respect of matters unrelated to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its rights hereunder with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) subject to Section 10.08, disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents, and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, so long as no Event of Default exists, any Lender may assign all or any portion of its Term Loans, Specified Refinancing Term Loans and New Term Loans hereunder to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, but only if:

(i) Parent or its Subsidiary, as applicable, confirms its status pursuant to Section 3.01(g);

(ii) (A) such assignment is made pursuant to a Dutch Auction open to all Term Lenders, Specified Refinancing Term Loan lenders or New Term Loan lenders on a pro rata basis or (B) such assignment is made as an open market purchase;

(iii) [reserved]; and

(iv) any such Term Loans shall be automatically and permanently cancelled immediately upon acquisition thereof by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries.

234

(j) [Reserved].

(k) The applicable Lender, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of (i) each SPC (other than any SPC that is treated as a disregarded entity of the Granting Lender for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that has exercised its option pursuant to Section 10.07(g) and (ii) each Participant, and the amount of each such SPC’s and Participant’s interest in such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each SPC and Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents) complying with the requirements of Section 163(f) of the Code and the United States Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c) and Section 1.163-5(b) of the proposed United States Treasury Regulations (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary in connection with a Tax audit or other proceeding to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b) of the proposed United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the applicable rights and/or obligations of such Lender under this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(l) In the event that a transfer by any of the Secured Parties of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (and/or any relevant Loan Document) occurred or was deemed to occur by way of novation, the Borrower and any other Loan Parties explicitly agree that all securities and guarantees created under any Loan Documents shall be preserved for the benefit of the new Lender and the other Secured Parties.

(m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Parent may approve assignments to Disqualified Institutions in its sole discretion, and any such assignments shall be subject to the express written approval of Parent.

Section 10.08 Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliate’s respective partners, directors, officers, employees, trustees, representatives and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors and service providers on a need to know basis (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential in accordance with customary practices); (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Agent, Lender or its respective Affiliates or in connection with any pledge or assignment permitted under Section 10.07(f); (c) in any legal, judicial, administrative proceeding or other compulsory process or otherwise as required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, in each case based upon the reasonable advice of the disclosing Agent’s or Lender’s legal counsel (in which case the disclosing Agent or Lender, as applicable, agrees (except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority), to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, to promptly notify the Borrower after such disclosure); (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) in

In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Credit Extensions; provided that such Person is advised and agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 10.08.

For the purposes of this Section 10.08, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is publicly available to any Agent or any Lender prior to disclosure by any Loan Party other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08 by such Lender or Agent. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.08 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Any consent given pursuant to this Agreement in relation to Personal Data shall, subject to all applicable laws and regulations, survive death, incapacity, bankruptcy or insolvency of any such individual and the termination or expiration of this document. For this purpose:

“Individual” means an “Individual” as defined in the PDPA.

“PDPA” means the Personal Data Protection ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ of Singapore.

“Personal Data” means Personal Data as defined in the PDPA.

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (i) the Information may include material non-public information concerning Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States federal and state securities Laws.

Section 10.09 Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Secured Party, together with each of its Affiliates, is authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by each Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party) to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in any currency), other than deposits in fiduciary accounts as to which a Loan Party is acting as fiduciary for another Person who is not a Loan Party and other than payroll or trust fund accounts, at any time held by, and other Indebtedness (in any currency) at any time owing by, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all Obligations owing to such Secured Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or Affiliate different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender or any of its Affiliates shall exercise any such right of set-off, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) such Defaulting Lender or Affiliate thereof shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender or Affiliate as to which it exercised such right of set-off. Each Secured Party agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Secured Party or any of its Affiliates; provided,

237

however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party under this Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that the Administrative Agent and such Secured Party may have. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, unless otherwise agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing, in no event shall the assets of any Excluded Subsidiary or any Excluded Property constitute security for payment of the obligations of the Borrower.

Section 10.10 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

Section 10.11 Counterparts. This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier or other electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Agents may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier or other electronic transmission be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier or other electronic transmission.

Section 10.12 Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and those provisions of the Engagement Letter and each Fee Letter that, by its terms, survive the termination or expiration of the Engagement Letter or the Closing Date, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
