(b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

provided that if the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to the above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for purposes of this Agreement.

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

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means, with respect to any Benchmark, the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to such then-current Benchmark:

component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the first date on which such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be no longer representative (and (x) such non-representativeness will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such clause (3), and (y) a Benchmark Replacement Date shall exist even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date).

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination and (ii) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

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

(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

(2) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Federal Reserve Board, the NYFRB, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), in each case, which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

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

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

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means, with respect to any Benchmark, the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date pursuant to clause (1) or (2) of the definition thereof has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any U.S. Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.20, and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any U.S. Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.20.

“Beneficial Ownership Regulation” means 31 C.F.R. § 1010.230.

ARTICLE 2
The U.S. Facilities

Section 1.1The Commitments.

(a)U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments. On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees to make loans in Dollars (each a “U.S. Revolving Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the U.S. Revolving Credit Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name on Annex I under the heading “U.S. Revolving Loan Commitments” (as such amounts may be adjusted from time to time as a result of assignments to or from such Lender permitted hereunder, referred to herein as such Lender’s “U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment”); provided, however, that at no time shall any U.S. Revolving Credit Lender be obligated to make a U.S. Revolving Loan in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the lesser of (i) the U.S. Revolving Borrowing Base and (ii) the amount by which the then-effective U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments exceeds the aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Outstandings at such time. Within the limits set forth in the first sentence of this clause (a), amounts of U.S. Revolving Loans repaid may be reborrowed under this Section 2.1. The aggregate amount of the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments on the Third Amendment Effective Date equals $28,500,000.

(b)Term Loan Commitments. On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, each Term Loan Lender with a Term Loan Commitment severally, but not jointly, agrees to make one loan in Dollars (each, a “Term Loan”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date, in the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name on Annex I under the heading “Term Loan Commitments” (as such amounts as may be adjusted from time to time as a result of assignments to or from such Lender permitted hereunder, referred to herein as such Lender’s “Term Loan Commitment”). Amounts of Term Loans repaid may not be reborrowed. The aggregate amount of the Term Loan Commitments shall not exceed $120,000,000.

Section 1.2Borrowing Procedures.

(a)Notice From the Borrower. Each Borrowing shall be made on notice given by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent not later than (i) 12:00 p.m. on the requested Borrowing date in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, and (ii) 11:00 a.m. on the third Business Day, in the case of a Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans, prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such notice may be made in a writing substantially in the form of Exhibit C (a “Notice of Borrowing”) duly completed and specifying, as applicable:

(i)the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

(ii)the allocation of requested Borrowing as between Term Loan or U.S. Revolving Loan;

(iii)the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(iv)in the case of a Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable to such Borrowing, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”;

(v)in the case of U.S. Revolving Loans, the amount of the then-effective U.S. Revolving Borrowing Base, the current aggregate outstanding principal amount of the U.S. Revolving Loans (without regard to the requested Borrowing) and the pro forma aggregate outstanding principal amount of the U.S. Revolving Loans (giving effect to the requested Borrowing); and

(vi)the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed.

Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans unless, outside of a suspension period pursuant to Section 2.15 on a date other than the Closing Date, the Notice of Borrowing specifies that all or a portion thereof shall be Term SOFR Loans. Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount.

(b)Notice to Each Lender. The Administrative Agent shall give to each Lender prompt notice of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a Notice of Borrowing and, if Term SOFR Loans are properly requested in such Notice of Borrowing, prompt notice of the applicable Interest Period. Each Lender shall, before 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Annex IV, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such proposed Borrowing. Upon fulfillment or waiver (i) on the Closing Date, of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.1 and 3.2 and (ii) any time thereafter, of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.2, the Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to the Borrower in immediately available funds on the date of the proposed Borrowing to the account specified by the Borrower in the Notice of Borrowing delivered in respect of such proposed Borrowing.

(c)Non-Funding Lenders.

(i)Non-Funding Lenders Responsibility. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any Lender prior to the date such Lender is required to make any payment hereunder with respect to any Loan or any participation in any Letter of Credit that such Lender will not make such payment (or any portion thereof) available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such payment available to the Administrative Agent on the date such payment is required to be made in accordance with this Article 2 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount; provided that nothing herein or in any other U.S. Loan Document shall be deemed to require the Administrative Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender. The Borrower agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent within one Business Day of demand such corresponding amount (until repaid by such Lender) with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable to the U.S. Secured Obligation that would have been created when the Administrative Agent made available such amount to the Borrower had such Lender made a corresponding payment available; provided, however, that such payment shall not relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have to the Borrower or any L/C Issuer and the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Non-Funding Lender. The failure of a Non-Funding Lender to make any U.S. Revolving Loan, to fund any purchase of any participation to be made or funded by it or to make any other payment required to be made by it under the U.S. Loan Documents, in each case on the date specified therefore, shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such loan, fund the purchase of such participation or

make any other such payment under any U.S. Loan Document on such date, but neither the Administrative Agent nor, other than as expressly set forth herein, any Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a Loan, fund the purchase of a participation or make any other payment required under any U.S. Loan Document.

(ii)Reallocation. If any U.S. Revolving Credit Lender is a Non-Funding Lender, all or a portion of such Non-Funding Lender’s L/C Obligations (unless such Lender is the L/C Issuer that issued such Letter of Credit) shall, at the Administrative Agent’s election at any time or upon any L/C Issuer’s, as applicable, request as delivered to the Administrative Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of any Default), be reallocated to and assumed by the U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders that are not Non-Funding Lenders or Impacted Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Pro Rata Share of the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment (calculated as if the Non-Funding Lender’s Pro Rata Share was reduced to zero and each other U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share had been increased proportionately), provided that no U.S. Revolving Credit Lender shall be reallocated any such amounts or be required to fund any amounts that would cause the sum of its outstanding U.S. Revolving Loans and outstanding L/C Obligations to exceed its U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment.

(iii)Voting Rights. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, including Section 11.1, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any U.S. Loan Document or constitute a “Lender” or a “U.S. Revolving Credit Lender” (or be, or have its Loans or Commitments, included in the determination of “Required Lenders,” “Required U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders” or “Lenders directly affected” pursuant to Section 11.1) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any U.S. Loan Document; provided that (A) the Commitment of a Non-Funding Lender may not be increased, (B) the principal of a Non-Funding Lender’s Loans may not be reduced or forgiven and (C) the interest rate applicable to U.S. Secured Obligations owing to a Non-Funding Lender may not be reduced in such a manner that by its terms affects such Non-Funding Lender more adversely than other Lenders, in each case without the consent of such Non-Funding Lender. For the purposes of determining Required Lenders and Required U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders, the Loans and Commitments held by Non-Funding Lenders shall be excluded from the total Loans and Commitments outstanding.

(iv)Borrower Payments to a Non-Funding Lender. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to hold, in a non-interest bearing account, all portions of any payments received by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of any Non-Funding Lender pursuant to this Agreement as cash collateral. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to use such cash collateral to pay in full the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount to the appropriate U.S. Secured Parties thereof, and then, to hold as cash collateral the amount of such Non-Funding Lender’s pro rata share, without giving effect to any reallocation pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(ii), of all funding obligations until the U.S. Secured Obligations are paid in full in cash, all L/C Obligations have been discharged or cash collateralized and all Commitments have been terminated. Upon any such unfunded obligations owing by a Non-Funding Lender becoming due and payable, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to use such cash collateral to make such payment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender. With respect to such Non-Funding Lender’s failure to fund U.S. Revolving Loans or purchase participations in Letters of Credit or L/C Obligations, any amounts applied by the Administrative Agent to satisfy such funding shortfalls shall be deemed to constitute a U.S. Revolving Loan or amount of the participation required to be funded and, if necessary to effectuate the foregoing, the other U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have sold, and such Non-Funding Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, U.S. Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit participation interests from the other U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders until such time as the aggregate amount of the U.S. Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and L/C Obligations are held by the U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment. Any amounts owing

by a Non-Funding Lender to the Administrative Agent which are not paid when due shall accrue interest at the interest rate applicable during such period to U.S. Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans. In the event that the Administrative Agent is holding cash collateral of a Non-Funding Lender that cures pursuant to clause (v) below or ceases to be a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to the definition of Non-Funding Lender, the Administrative Agent shall return the unused portion of such cash collateral to such Lender. The “Aggregate Excess Funding Amount” of a Non-Funding Lender shall be the aggregate amount of (A) all unpaid obligations owing by such Lender to the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuers and other Lenders under the U.S. Loan Documents, including such Lender’s pro rata share of all U.S. Revolving Loans, L/C Obligations, plus, without duplication, (B) all amounts of such Non-Funding Lender’s L/C Obligations reallocated to other Lenders pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(ii).

(v)Cure. A Lender may cure its status as a Non-Funding Lender under clause (a) of the definition of “Non-Funding Lender” if such Lender fully pays to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the applicable U.S. Secured Parties, the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount, plus all interest due thereon, and timely funds the next U.S. Revolving Loan required to be funded by such Lender or makes the next reimbursement required to be made by such Lender. Any such cure shall not relieve any Lender from liability for breaching its contractual obligations hereunder.

(vi)Fees. A Lender that is a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender shall not earn and shall not be entitled to receive, and the Borrower shall not be required to pay, such Lender’s portion of the Unused Commitment Fee during the time such Lender is a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to clause (a) thereof. In the event that any reallocation of L/C Obligations occurs pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(ii), during the period of time that such reallocation remains in effect, the Letter of Credit Fee payable with respect to such reallocated portion shall be payable to (A) all U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders based on their pro rata share of such reallocation or (B) to the relevant L/C Issuer for any remaining portion not reallocated to any other U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders.

Section 1.3U.S. Revolving Borrowing Base.

(a)Calculation of U.S. Revolving Borrowing Base. The “U.S. Revolving Borrowing Base” shall be equal, as at any date, to 85% of the difference between (x) the aggregate amount of Eligible Domestic Receivables at such date as set forth on the Accounts Report attached to the most recently delivered U.S. Revolving Borrowing Base Certificate pursuant to Section 6.1(f), and (y) the Dilution Reserve.

(b)The U.S. Revolving Borrowing Base shall be computed on each Revolving Measurement Date (for or relating to the immediately preceding calendar month) pursuant to Section 6.1(f); and in the case of any Borrowing of the U.S. Revolving Loans prior to the first such date after the date hereof, the U.S. Revolving Borrowing Base shall be computed as of the most recent Revolving Measurement Date (for or relating to the immediately preceding calendar month) prior to the date hereof.

Section 1.4Letters of Credit.

(a)Commitment and Conditions. On the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, each L/C Issuer agrees to Issue, at the request of the Borrower, in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices, and for the account of the Borrower (or, as long as the Borrower is a co-applicant under the Letter of Credit and remains responsible for the payment in full of all amounts drawn thereunder and related fees, costs and expenses, for the account of any of its Subsidiaries), Letters of Credit (denominated in Dollars or any Specified Currency) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the date five Business Days prior to the U.S. Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that such L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any of the following, after giving effect to such Issuance:

(i)(A) The aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments, (B) the Applicable Fronting Exposure of such L/C Issuer would exceed the lesser of its Pro Rata Share of the U.S. Revolving Borrowing Base and its U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment, or (C) the L/C Obligations for all Letters of Credit would exceed the U.S. L/C Sublimit.

(ii)The expiration date of such Letter of Credit (A) would not be a Business Day, (B) would be more than one year after the date of issuance thereof (or such longer period as shall be reasonably acceptable to the L/C Issuer) or (C) would be later than five Business Days prior to the U.S. Revolving Credit Termination Date (or such longer period as shall be reasonably acceptable to the L/C Issuer); provided, however, that any Letter of Credit may provide for its renewal for additional periods not exceeding one year or such longer period as shall be reasonably acceptable to the L/C Issuer or extend beyond the date set forth in clause (C) of this Section 2.4(a)(ii) as long as (x) each of the Borrower and such L/C Issuer have the option to prevent such renewal before the expiration of such term or any such period and (y) such renewal does not extend such expiration date beyond the date set forth in clause (C) of this Section 2.4(a)(ii).

(iii)(A) Any fee due in connection with, and on or prior to, such Issuance shall not have been paid, (B) such Letter of Credit is requested to be Issued in a form that is not acceptable to such L/C Issuer or (C) such L/C Issuer shall not have received, each in form and substance acceptable to it and duly executed by the Borrower (and, if such Letter of Credit is issued for the account of any other U.S. Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a U.S. Loan Party, such other U.S. Loan Party or Subsidiary), the documents that such L/C Issuer generally uses in the ordinary course of its business for the Issuance of letters of credit of the type of such Letter of Credit (collectively, the “L/C Reimbursement Agreement”), which documents, to the extent the provisions thereof address the same subject matter as the representations, warranties or covenants set forth herein, shall not be more onerous to the Borrower than those set forth herein.

(iv)The requested amount of such Letter of Credit shall be less than $50,000.

For each such Issuance, the applicable L/C Issuer may, but shall not be required to, determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 have been satisfied or waived in connection with the Issuance of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that no Letter of Credit shall be Issued during the period starting on the first Business Day after the receipt by such L/C Issuer of notice from the Administrative Agent or the Lenders that any condition precedent contained in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 is not satisfied and ending on the date all such conditions are satisfied or duly waived.

Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, if any Lender is a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender, no L/C Issuer shall be obligated to Issue any Letter of Credit unless (i) the Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender has been replaced in accordance with Section 2.18 or Section 11.2, (ii) the L/C Obligations of such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender have been cash collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable to such L/C Issuer, (iii) the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments of the other U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders have been increased by an amount sufficient to satisfy the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer that all future L/C Obligations will be covered by all U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders that are not Non-Funding Lenders or Impacted Lenders, or (iv) the L/C Obligations of such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender have been reallocated to other U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.2(c)(ii).

(b)Notice of Issuance. The Borrower shall give the relevant L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent a notice of any requested Issuance of any Letter of Credit, which shall be effective only if received by such L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. on the third Business Day or such shorter period as may be agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent prior to the date of such requested Issuance. Such notice may be made in a writing substantially the form of Exhibit E duly completed or in a writing in any other form reasonably acceptable to such L/C Issuer duly completed (each, an “L/C Request”). The Borrower agrees that any notice of

request Issuance of any Letter of Credit denominated in a Specified Currency shall automatically be deemed to have been withdrawn if, within one Business Day of the L/C Issuer’s and the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such notice, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent notify the Borrower that (i) such Specified Currency requested is not readily available to them in the amount required or (ii) the Issuance of such Letter of Credit or interest or participation therein would cause any U.S. Secured Party to violate or be in violation of any Requirement of Law. In addition, the Borrower agrees that any Letter of Credit denominated in a Specified Currency will permit the L/C Issuer to make payments under such Letter of Credit up to at least two Business Days after presentment by the beneficiary in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit.

(c)Reporting Obligations of L/C Issuers. Each L/C Issuer agrees to provide the Administrative Agent (which, after receipt, the Administrative Agent shall provide to each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender), in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, each of the following on the following dates: (i) on or prior to (A) any Issuance of any Letter of Credit by such L/C Issuer, (B) any drawing under any such Letter of Credit or (C) any payment (or failure to pay when due) by the Borrower of any related L/C Reimbursement Obligation, notice thereof, which shall contain a reasonably detailed description of such Issuance, drawing or payment; (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent (or any U.S. Revolving Credit Lender through the Administrative Agent), copies of any Letter of Credit Issued by such L/C Issuer and any related L/C Reimbursement Agreement and such other documents and information as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent; (iii) on the first Business Day of each calendar week, a schedule of the Letters of Credit Issued by such L/C Issuer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, setting forth the L/C Obligations for such Letters of Credit outstanding on the last Business Day of the previous calendar week and (iv) at the close of business on each Business Day of each calendar week, a schedule setting forth (as of such date) the L/C Obligations of the Borrower, the Pro Rata Outstandings of each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender and the Dollar Equivalent of each Issued Letter of Credit denominated in a Specified Currency.

(d)Acquisition of Participations. Upon any Issuance of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement resulting in any increase in the L/C Obligations, each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have acquired, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit and the related L/C Obligations in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such L/C Obligations.

(e)Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to pay to the L/C Issuer of any Letter of Credit, or to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such L/C Issuer, each L/C Reimbursement Obligation owing with respect to such Letter of Credit no later than 2:00 p.m. on the first Business Day after the Borrower receives notice from such L/C Issuer or from the Administrative Agent that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit (the “L/C Reimbursement Date”), which notice shall be given on the same day that such payment is made, with interest thereon computed as set forth in clause (e)(i) below. In the event that any L/C Issuer incurs any L/C Reimbursement Obligation not repaid (whether with the proceeds of U.S. Revolving Loans or otherwise) by the Borrower as provided in this clause (e) (or any such payment by the Borrower is rescinded or set aside for any reason), such L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such failure (and, upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall forward a copy to each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender) and, irrespective of whether such notice is given, such L/C Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable on demand by the Borrower with interest thereon computed (i) from the date on which such L/C Reimbursement Obligation arose to the L/C Reimbursement Date, at the interest rate applicable during such period to U.S. Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (ii) thereafter until payment in full, at the interest rate applicable during such period to past due U.S. Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans.

(f)Reimbursement Obligations of the U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders. On the same day that it receives the notice described in clause (e) above from the Administrative Agent, each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share of such L/C Reimbursement Obligation in Dollars (as such amount may be increased pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(ii)). By making such payment (other than during the continuation of an Event of Default under Section 9.1), such Lender shall be deemed to have made a U.S. Revolving Loan to the Borrower, which, upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of such L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall be deemed to have used in whole to repay such L/C Reimbursement Obligation. Any such payment that is not deemed a U.S. Revolving Loan pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be deemed a funding by such Lender of its participation in the applicable Letter of Credit and the related L/C Obligations. Such participation shall not otherwise be required to be funded. Following receipt by any L/C Issuer of any payment from any Lender pursuant to this clause (f) with respect to any portion of any L/C Reimbursement Obligation, such L/C Issuer shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of such Lender, all amounts received by such L/C Issuer (or to the extent such amount shall have been received by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Lender all amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such L/C Issuer) with respect to such portion.

(g)Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Borrower and the U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders pursuant to clauses (d), (e) and (f) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement irrespective of (i) (A) the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision in any Letter of Credit, any document transferring or purporting to transfer a Letter of Credit, any U.S. Loan Document (including the sufficiency of any such instrument), or any modification to any provision of any of the foregoing, (B) any document presented under a Letter of Credit being forged, fraudulent, invalid, insufficient or inaccurate in any respect or failing to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (C) any loss or delay, including in the transmission of any document, (ii) the existence of any setoff, claim, abatement, recoupment, defense (other than payment in full of such obligation) or other right that any Person (including the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) may have against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with any U.S. Loan Document or any other Contractual Obligation or transaction, or the existence of any other withholding, abatement or reduction, and (iii) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of any U.S. Secured Party or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.4, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any obligation of the Borrower or any U.S. Revolving Credit Lender hereunder. Nothing herein shall excuse the L/C Issuer for liability to the extent such liability has resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of L/C Issuer as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non appealable judgment or order.

(h)Prior Maturity. If the U.S. Revolving Credit Termination Date in respect of any U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit, then the Borrower shall, on or prior to such U.S. Revolving Credit Termination Date, cause all such Letters of Credit to be returned to the applicable L/C Issuer for cancellation or to the extent that the Borrower is unable to so return (or elects not to cause the return of) any such Letter(s) of Credit, such Letter(s) of Credit shall be cash collateralized or backstopped in full pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree that upon the taking of the actions described in the foregoing sentence, all participations in Letters of Credit under the applicable terminated U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate.

(i)Designation of Additional L/C Issuers. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, designate as additional L/C Issuers one or more Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below; provided that there shall not be more than three L/C Issuers at any time. The acceptance by a Lender of an appointment as an L/C Issuer hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement, which shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such designated Lender and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement and (ii) references herein to the term “L/C Issuer” shall be deemed to include such Lender in its capacity as an issuer of Letters of Credit hereunder.

(j)Termination of an L/C Issuer. The Borrower may terminate the appointment of any L/C Issuer as an “L/C Issuer” hereunder by providing notice thereof to such L/C Issuer, with a copy to the Administrative Agent. Any such termination shall become effective upon the earlier of (i) such L/C Issuer’s acknowledging receipt of such notice and (ii) the fifth Business Day following the date of the delivery thereof; provided that no such termination shall become effective until and unless the exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer (or its Affiliates) shall have been reduced to zero. At the time any such termination shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the terminated L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.11(b). Notwithstanding the effectiveness of any such termination, the terminated L/C Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not issue any additional Letters of Credit or be deemed an L/C Issuer for any other purpose.

(k)Cash Collateral. At any time (i) upon the U.S. Revolving Credit Termination Date, (ii) after the U.S. Revolving Credit Termination Date when the aggregate funds on deposit in L/C Cash Collateral Accounts shall be less than 105% of the L/C Obligations for all Letters of Credit at such time and (iii) as required by Section 2.8(d) or 2.12, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s office referred to in Annex IV, for deposit in a L/C Cash Collateral Account, the amount required in Dollars so that, after such payment, the aggregate funds on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Accounts equals or exceeds 105% of the difference between (A) the L/C Obligations for all Letters of Credit at such time and (B) the amount of L/C Obligations that are otherwise secured to the reasonable satisfaction of the relevant L/C Issuer and for which the Borrower shall in any event provide the Administrative Agent prompt notice if such other arrangements expire, are replaced or are extended (not to exceed, in the case of clause (iii) above, the payment to be applied pursuant to Section 2.12 to provide cash collateral for Letters of Credit).

(l)Illegality. If, at any time, it becomes unlawful for an L/C Issuer to comply with any of its obligations under a Letter of Credit (including, but not limited to, as a result of any Sanctions), the obligation of such L/C Issuer to Issue Letters of Credit shall be suspended (and all corresponding rights shall cease to accrue) until such time as it may again become lawful for such L/C Issuer to comply with such obligations, and such L/C Issuer shall not be liable for any losses which the Borrower or any U.S. Loan Party may incur as a result.

Section 1.5Reduction and Termination of the Commitments.

(a)Optional. The Borrower may, upon three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part ratably any unused portion of the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments, without premium or penalty, but subject to any breakage costs that may be owing pursuant to Section 2.16(a) after giving effect to such termination or reduction; provided, however, that each partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount; provided, further, that the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.8(d), the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the U.S. Revolving Loans would exceed the aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments or there would be any L/C Obligations outstanding at such time. A reduction of the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments shall not require a corresponding pro rata reduction in the U.S. L/C Sublimit except as, and to the extent, provided in Section 2.5(b)(iii).

(b)Mandatory.

(i)The aggregate amount of the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments and the International Commitments will automatically and permanently reduce by an amount equal to $3,000,000 on each of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022, with each U.S Revolving Credit Lender’s U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment and each International Lender’s International Commitment reduced pro rata based on the ratio of such U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment or such International Lender’s International Commitment, as the case may be, to the aggregate amount of the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments and the International Commitments, provided that (x) any U.S. Revolving Credit Lender that also has International Commitments may in its sole discretion, by notice to the

Administrative Agent, determine how the aggregate amount of such reductions to its commitments shall be allocated between its U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments and the International Commitments and (y) so long as the aggregate International Commitments have been terminated, the International Obligations have been repaid in full and all outstanding letters of credit issued under the International Credit Agreement have been fully cash collateralized, any reduction of the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments made after the Third Amendment Effective Date in accordance with Section 2.8(f) shall be counted (on a dollar by dollar basis) towards the scheduled reductions of the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments under this clause (i) in direct (versus inverse) order of due dates.

(ii)Unless previously terminated, all outstanding Commitments shall terminate, in the case of the Term Loan Facility, on the Closing Date (after giving effect to any Borrowing of the Term Loans in full occurring on such date),

(iii)if at any time the aggregate amount of the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility is reduced by an amount that would cause the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility to be less than the U.S. L/C Sublimit, the U.S. L/C Sublimit shall be automatically and permanently reduced (without any further action by, or notice to or from, any Person), to the amount of the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility at such time.

Section 1.6Repayment of Loans.

(a)The Borrower promises to repay the entire unpaid principal amount of the U.S. Revolving Loans (together with all accrued but unpaid interest) on the U.S. Revolving Credit Termination Date.

. The Borrower may prepay the outstanding principal amount of any Loan in whole or in part at any time, without premium or penalty, but subject to any breakage costs that may be owing pursuant to Section 2.16(a) after giving effect to such prepayment; provided, however, that each partial prepayment that is not of the entire outstanding amount under any U.S. Facility shall be in

an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount.

Section 1.8Mandatory Prepayments.

(a)Excess Cash Flow. The Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent, within five Business Days after the last date financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(c) for any Fiscal Year (commencing with the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2015), an amount equal to 50% of the Excess Cash Flow for such Fiscal Year less the sum of (x) the amount of voluntary prepayments of the Term Loans made during such Fiscal Year (other than prepayments funded with the proceeds of Indebtedness (other than U.S. Revolving Loans)) and (y) the amount of voluntary prepayments of the U.S. Revolving Loans (to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction in the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments) made during such Fiscal Year (other than prepayments funded with the proceeds of Indebtedness); provided, however, that should the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio of the Borrower as of the last day of such Fiscal Year be equal to or less than (i) 2.00 to 1.00, the percentage set forth above shall be reduced to 25% or (ii) 1.50 to 1.00, the percentage set forth above shall be reduced to 0%.

(b)Debt Issuance or Incurrence. On the same Business Day following the receipt by any the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of Net Cash Proceeds arising from the issuance or incurrence by it or such Subsidiary of any Indebtedness (other than any Indebtedness permitted hereunder in reliance upon Section 8.1), the Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds.

(c)Asset Sales and Property Loss Events. Within three Business Days following the receipt by any U.S. Loan Party of Net Cash Proceeds in the aggregate in excess of $2,000,000 with respect to all transactions described in this Section 2.8(c) arising from (i) any non-ordinary course Disposition by any U.S. Loan Party of any of its Property other than Dispositions of its own Equity Interests and Dispositions of Property permitted hereunder in reliance upon Section 8.4(a), (b)(i) or (d) or (ii) any Property Loss Event with respect to any Property of any U.S. Loan Party, the Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to 100% of such excess Net Cash Proceeds; provided, however, that, upon any such receipt, as long as no Default shall be continuing, any U.S. Loan Party may make Permitted Reinvestments with such Net Cash Proceeds and the Borrower shall not be required to make or cause such payment to be made to the extent (x) such Net Cash Proceeds are intended to be used to make Permitted Reinvestments, (y) the Borrower so notifies the Administrative Agent within one Business Day of such receipt of intention, and (z) on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date for such Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount applicable to such Reinvestment Prepayment Date and such Net Cash Proceeds.

(d)Excess Drawing. If, at any time, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the U.S. Revolver Obligations exceeds the lesser of (i) the aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments, and (ii) the U.S. Revolving Borrowing Base (as most recently determined) (any such date, an “Excess Date” and the amount of any such excess, the “U.S. Revolving Loan Excess”), the Borrower shall promptly thereafter (but in no event later than five Business Days following the Excess Date), make a prepayment in respect of the outstanding amount of the U.S. Revolver Obligations in the amount of the U.S. Revolving Loan Excess; provided that to the extent that such U.S. Revolving Loan Excess results from the Issuance of any Letter of Credit or a change in the Exchange Rate applicable to any Letter of Credit denominated in a Specified Currency, then the Borrower shall promptly thereafter (but in no event later than five Business Days following the Excess Date) provide cash collateral for such Letter of Credit in the manner and to the extent described in Section 2.4(k).

(e)Extraordinary Receipts.

(f)Libyan Receivables. If at any time following the Libyan Receivable Transfer Date, any U.S. Loan Party or the International Borrower receives any payments made in Dollars or British pound sterling on account of any Receivable from a Client in Libya, the Borrower shall, within five Business Days following such receipt of payment, pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to 100% of such payments. Each mandatory prepayment made under this clause (f) shall result in a dollar for dollar reduction of the aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments without any further action of the parties hereto (with each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment reduced on a pro rata basis). If any U.S. Loan Party receives any payments on account of any Receivable from a Client in Libya before the Libyan Receivable Transfer Date, such U.S. Loan Party shall promptly remit such payments to the International Collateral Agent for application to the International Obligations.

(g)Application of Payments. Any payments made to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.12(b).

Section 1.9Interest.

(a)Rate. All Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loans are made until, in all cases, paid in full, except as otherwise provided in clause (c) below, as follows: (i) in the case

of Base Rate Loans, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate in effect from time to time and the Applicable Margin, and (ii) in the case of Term SOFR Loans, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Adjusted Term SOFR in effect for the applicable Interest Period and the Applicable Margin.

(b)Payments. Interest accrued on the principal amount of any Loan shall be payable in arrears (i) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), (ii) if such Loan is a Term Loan, upon the payment or prepayment of the principal amount on which such interest has accrued and (iii)(1) if such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter and (2) (x) if such Loan is a Term SOFR Loan with an Interest Period of one month, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Loan, and (y) if such Loan is a Term SOFR Loan with an Interest Period longer than one month, every three months during such Interest Period following the date on which such Term SOFR Loan is made or converted to a Term SOFR Loan or, if such loan is continued, on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period therefor (provided that subject to the proviso set forth in the definition of “Interest Period”, if any such three-month date is a day that is not a Business Day, such three-month date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, unless the result of such extension would be to extend such three-month date into the next calendar month, in which case such three-month date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day).

(c)Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in clause (a) above or elsewhere in any U.S. Loan Document: upon the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) or (e), or upon the election of the Required Lenders in the case of any other Event of Default (1) the principal balance of all Loans (including (A) any U.S. Secured Obligation that bears interest by reference to the rate applicable to any other U.S. Secured Obligation and (B) post-petition interest in any proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable insolvency laws) shall thereafter bear interest at a rate that is 2.00% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Loans and (2) to the extent permitted under any applicable Requirement of Law, any interest payments on the Loans and any fees and other amounts then due and payable hereunder or under any of the other U.S. Loan Documents, in each case whether at stated maturity, by notice of prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise, shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable insolvency laws) at a rate which is 2.00% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans) and shall, in each case, be payable on demand by Administrative Agent. Any imposition of default interest pursuant to this clause (c) may be made retroactive to the date of the occurrence of the applicable Default.

(d)Savings Clause. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by the respective Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, and in such event the Borrower shall pay such Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by any applicable Requirement of Law (“Maximum Lawful Rate”); provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Borrower shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as provided in this Agreement.

Section 1.10Conversion and Continuation Options.

(a)Option. The Borrower may elect (i) in the case of any Term SOFR Loan, (A) to continue such Term SOFR Loan or any portion thereof for an additional Interest Period on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (B) to convert such Term SOFR Loan or any portion thereof into a Base Rate Loan at any time on any Business Day, subject to the payment of any breakage costs required by Section 2.16(a), and (ii) in the case of Base Rate Loans, to convert such Base Rate Loans or any portion thereof into Term SOFR Loans at any time on any Business Day upon three Business Days’ prior notice; provided, however, that, (x) for each Interest Period, the aggregate amount of Term SOFR Loans having such Interest Period must be equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and (y) no conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans and no continuation in whole or in part of Term SOFR Loans shall be permitted at any time at which (1) an Event of Default shall be continuing or (2) such continuation or conversion would be made during a suspension imposed by Section 2.15.

(b)Procedure. Each such election shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day prior notice in substantially the form of Exhibit F (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation and of the options selected therein. If the Administrative Agent does not receive a timely Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the Borrower containing a permitted election to continue or convert any Term SOFR Loan, then, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, such Loan shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan. Each partial conversion or continuation shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders in the applicable U.S. Facility in accordance with their Pro Rata Share.

Section 1.11Fees.

(a)Unused Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender to the extent provided in Section 2.2(c)(vi)), a commitment fee (the “Unused Commitment Fee”) at the rate of 0.50% per annum on the average daily amount by which the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender exceeds its Pro Rata Share of the sum of (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of U.S. Revolving Loans and (ii) the outstanding amount of the L/C Obligations for all Letters of Credit from the date hereof through the U.S. Revolving Credit Termination Date.

(c)Additional Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the additional fees described in the Fee Letter.

Section 1.12Application of Payments

(a)Application of Voluntary Prepayments. Unless otherwise provided in this Section 2.12 or elsewhere in any U.S. Loan Document, all payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.7 shall be applied to repay the U.S. Secured Obligations the Borrower designates or, if no such direction is given, applied as provided in Section 2.12(d) hereto.

(b)Application of Mandatory Prepayments. Subject to the provisions of clause (c) below, (i) in the case of a mandatory prepayment (x) consisting of the proceeds of a Disposition of Receivables that constitute U.S. Collateral and part of the U.S. Revolving Borrowing Base or (y) made in accordance with Section 2.8(f), the proceeds of such mandatory prepayment shall be applied (A) first, to the ratable payment of the outstanding principal amounts of the U.S. Revolving Loans in an amount equal to the amount of such proceeds, and (B) second, the remainder to reduce the Term Loans, to be applied pro rata against all such scheduled installments based on the respective amounts of such scheduled installments and (ii) to the extent not applied pursuant to clause (i) above, any other payment made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.8 or any other prepayment of the U.S. Secured Obligations required to be applied in accordance with this clause (b) shall be applied first, (other than in respect of any payment required pursuant to Section 2.8(d)) to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans, applied pro rata against all such scheduled installments based on the respective amounts of such scheduled installments; second, to repay the outstanding principal balance of the U.S. Revolving Loans (without a permanent reduction in the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment); and third, to provide cash collateral to the extent and in the manner in Section 9.3.

(c)Application of Payments During an Event of Default. The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees to cause each U.S. Loan Party to waive, the right to direct the application during the continuance of an Event of Default of any and all payments in respect of any U.S. Secured Obligation and any proceeds of U.S. Collateral and agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of clause (a) above, the Administrative Agent may, and, upon either (A) the direction of the Required Lenders or (B) the termination of any Commitment or the acceleration of any U.S. Secured Obligation pursuant to Section 9.2, shall, apply all payments in respect of any U.S. Secured Obligation and all other proceeds of U.S. Collateral (i) first, to pay U.S. Secured Obligations in respect of any cost or expense reimbursements, fees or indemnities then due to the Administrative Agent, (ii) second, to pay U.S. Secured Obligations in respect of any cost or expense reimbursements, fees or indemnities then due to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, (iii) third, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Loans and L/C Reimbursement Obligations, (iv) fourth, to repay the outstanding principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Reimbursement Obligations and to provide cash collateral for Letters of Credit in the manner and to the extent described in Section 9.3 and to pay amounts owing with respect to Secured Hedging Agreements, (v) fifth, to the ratable payment of all other U.S. Secured Obligations, and (vi) sixth, thereafter, to pay any excess proceeds to or upon the order of the relevant U.S. Loan Party or U.S. Loan Parties or whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

(d)Application of Payments Generally.

(i)All repayments of any U.S. Revolving Loans or Term Loans shall be applied first, to repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans and then, to repay such Loans outstanding as Term SOFR Loans. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all repayments of any Term Loans shall be applied pro rata against all such scheduled installments based on the respective amounts of such scheduled installments. All payments that would otherwise be allocated to the U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall instead be allocated first, to repay interest on any portion of the U.S. Revolving Loans that the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender and on any L/C Reimbursement Obligation, in each case for which the Administrative Agent or, as the case may be, the L/C Issuer has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower, second to pay the outstanding principal amount of the foregoing obligations and third, to repay the U.S.

Revolving Loans. If sufficient amounts are not available to repay all outstanding U.S. Secured Obligations described in any priority level set forth in this Section 2.12, the available amounts shall be applied, unless otherwise expressly specified herein, to such U.S. Secured Obligations ratably based on the proportion of the U.S. Secured Parties’ interest in such U.S. Secured Obligations. Any priority level set forth in this Section 2.12 that includes interest shall include all such interest, whether or not accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding, and whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in any such proceeding.

(ii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.12 or otherwise in the U.S. Loan Documents, any payments made by any Grantor or Guarantor (as such terms are defined in the New Guaranty and Security Agreement) to the Administrative Agent or any U.S. Collateral Agent in accordance with the New Guaranty and Security Agreement or any proceeds of International First Lien Collateral (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) payable to the U.S. Collateral Agents for the ratable benefit of the U.S. Secured Parties, whether under the New Guaranty and Security Agreement, any other U.S. Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreement, shall be applied (A) first, to the ratable payment of the outstanding principal amounts of the U.S. Revolving Loans and the cash collateralization of L/C Obligations in an amount equal to the amount of such proceeds, and (B) second, the remainder to reduce the Term Loans, to be applied pro rata against all such scheduled installments based on the respective amounts of such scheduled installments.

Section 1.13Payments and Computations.

(a)Procedure. The Borrower shall make each payment under any U.S. Loan Document not later than 2:00 p.m. on the day when due to the Administrative Agent by wire transfer or ACH transfer to the following account (or at such other account or by such other means to such other address as the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower within a reasonable time prior to such payment) in immediately available Dollars and without setoff or counterclaim:

ABA No: ▇▇▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇

Account Number: ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

Société Générale

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

Attn: Loan Servicing Group

The Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees to the Lenders, in accordance with the application of payments set forth in Section 2.12. The Lenders shall make any payment under any U.S. Loan Document in immediately available Dollars and without setoff or counterclaim. Each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender shall make each payment for the account of any L/C Issuer required pursuant to Section 2.4 (A) if the notice or demand therefor was received by such Lender prior to 2:00 p.m. on any Business Day, on such Business Day and (B) otherwise, on the Business Day following such receipt. Payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day.

(b)Computations of Interests and Fees. All computations of interest and of fees shall be (i) made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in the case of Base Rate Loans whose interest rate is calculated based on the rate set forth in clause (a) of the definition of “Base Rate”, 365 days), in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest and fees are payable. Each determination of an interest rate or the amount of a fee hereunder shall be made by the Administrative Agent (including determinations of a Term SOFR Rate or Base Rate in accordance with the definitions of “Term SOFR” and “Base Rate”, respectively) and shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each such determination.

(c)Payment Dates. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day without any

increase in such payment as a result of additional interest or fees; provided, however, that such interest and fees shall continue accruing as a result of such extension of time.

(d)Advancing Payments. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower to the Lenders prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon (at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter, at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the applicable U.S. Facility) for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent; provided that nothing herein or in any other U.S. Loan Document shall be deemed to require the Administrative Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender.

Section 1.14Evidence of Debt.

(a)Records of Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts evidencing Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. In addition, each Lender having sold a participation in any of its U.S. Secured Obligations or having identified an SPV as such to the Administrative Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower solely for Tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in this Section 2.14(a), shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Annex IV (or at such other address as such Lender shall notify the Borrower) a record of ownership (a “Participant Register”), in which such Lender shall register by book entry (A) the name and address of each such participant and SPV (and each change thereto, whether by assignment or otherwise) and (B) the rights, interest or obligation of each such participant and SPV in any U.S. Secured Obligation, in any Commitment and in any right to receive any payment hereunder; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or other obligations under any U.S. Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in a Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the applicable Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(b)Records of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, acting as non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower solely for Tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in this Section 2.14(b), shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Annex IV (or at such other address as the Administrative Agent may notify the Borrower) (A) a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which the Administrative Agent agrees to register by book entry the interests (including any rights to receive payment hereunder) of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer in the Term Loans and the U.S. Revolving Credit Outstandings, each of their obligations under this Agreement to participate in each Loan, Letter of Credit and L/C Reimbursement Obligation, and any assignment of any such interest, obligation or right (which shall include any transfer or grant of an option to an SPV pursuant to Section 11.2(f) and (B) accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (1) the names and addresses of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers (and each change thereto pursuant to Section 2.18 and Section 11.2, (2) the Commitments of each Lender, (3) the amount of each Loan and each funding of any participation described in clause (A) above, and for Term SOFR Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (4) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or paid, (5) the amount of the L/C Reimbursement Obligations due and payable or paid and (6) any other payment received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower and its application to the U.S. Secured Obligations.

(c)Registered Obligations. This Section 2.14 and Section 11.2 shall be construed so that the Loans and L/C Reimbursement Obligations are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (and any successor provisions).

(d)Prima Facie Evidence. The entries made in the Register and in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein, absent manifest error; provided, however, that no error in such account and no failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain any such account shall affect the obligations of any U.S. Loan Party to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms. In addition, the U.S. Loan Parties, the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement. Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender or any L/C Issuer shall be available for access by the Borrower, the Agents, such Lender or such L/C Issuer at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No Lender or L/C Issuer shall, in such capacity, have access to or be otherwise permitted to review any information in the Register other than information with respect to such Lender or L/C Issuer unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent.

(e)Notes. Upon any Lender’s request, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver Notes to such Lender evidencing the Loans of such Lender in a U.S. Facility and substantially in the form of Exhibit B; provided, however, that only one Note for each U.S. Facility shall be issued to each Lender, except (i) to an existing Lender exchanging existing Notes to reflect changes in the Register relating to such Lender, in which case the new Notes delivered to such Lender shall be dated the date of the original Notes, and (ii) subject to the receipt of a simple, unsecured indemnity from such Lender, in the case of loss, destruction or mutilation of existing Notes and similar circumstances. Each Note, if issued, shall only be issued as means to evidence the right, title or interest of a Lender or a registered

assignee in and to the related Loan, as set forth in the Register, and in no event shall any Note be considered a bearer instrument or obligation.

Section 1.15Suspension of Term SOFR Option

. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Article 2, the following shall apply:

(a)Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair. Subject to Section 2.20, if:

(i)the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR; or

(ii)the Administrative Agent has been advised by the Required Lenders that Adjusted Term SOFR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan);

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist:

(a) any Borrowing Request that requests a Term SOFR Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be a Borrowing Request for a Base Rate Borrowing, and

(b)any outstanding Term SOFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, a Base Rate Loan.

(b)Illegality. If after the date hereof (i) any Lender determines in good faith that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any Requirement of Law shall make it unlawful, or (ii) any Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make Term SOFR Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Term SOFR Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, the obligation of such Lender to make or to continue Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended as provided in clause (c) below until such Lender shall, through the Administrative Agent, notify the Borrower that it has determined that it may lawfully make Term SOFR Loans; provided that any such affected Lender shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its lending office if such a change would avoid giving such notice and demand and would not, in the good faith determination of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender. The Administrative Agent and each such Lender shall promptly so notify the Borrower once such circumstances no longer exist; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be liable as Administrative Agent for any failure to give such notice. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 2.15(b) shall affect the obligation of any other Lender to make or maintain Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Term SOFR Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c)Effect of Suspension. Subject to Section 2.20, if the obligation of any Lender to make or to continue Term SOFR Loans is suspended, (i) the obligation of such Lender to convert Base Rate Loans into Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended, (ii) such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan at any time such Lender would otherwise be obligated to make a Term SOFR Loan, (iii) the Borrower may revoke or rescind any pending Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation to make or continue any Term SOFR Loan or to convert any Base Rate Loan into a Term SOFR Loan and (iv) each Term SOFR Loan of such Lender shall automatically and immediately (or, in the case of any suspension pursuant to clause (a) above, on the last day of the current Interest Period thereof) be converted into a Base Rate Loan.

Section 1.16Breakage Costs; Increased Costs; Capital Requirements.

(a)Breakage Costs. The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon demand from such Lender to such Borrower (with copy to the Administrative Agent), for any loss or expense (including, in each case, those incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to prepare to fund, to fund or to maintain the Term SOFR Loans of such Lender to the Borrower but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on the relevant Loans) that such Lender incurs (i) to the extent, for any reason other than solely by reason of such Lender being a Non-Funding Lender, a proposed Borrowing, conversion into or continuation of Term SOFR Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation or in a similar request made by telephone by the Borrower, (ii) to the extent any Term SOFR Loan is paid (whether through a scheduled, optional or mandatory prepayment) or converted to a Base Rate Loan (including because of Section 2.15) on a date that is not the last day of an Interest Period or (iii) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to repay Term SOFR Loans when required by the terms hereof.

(b)Increased Costs. If at any time any Lender or L/C Issuer determines in its reasonable discretion that the adoption of, or any change in or in the interpretation, application or administration of, or compliance with, any Requirement of Law from any Governmental Authority, in each case after the date hereof, shall have the effect of (i) increasing the cost to such Lender of making, funding or maintaining any Term SOFR Loan or to agree to do so or of participating, or agreeing to participate, in extensions of credit, (ii) increasing the cost to such L/C Issuer of Issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or of agreeing to do so, (iii) imposing any other cost to such Lender or L/C Issuer with respect to compliance with its obligations under any U.S. Loan Document, or (iv) subjecting any Lender or L/C Issuer to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, then, on demand by such Lender or L/C Issuer (with copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or L/C Issuer amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer for such increased cost.

(c)Increased Capital Requirements. If at any time any Lender or L/C Issuer determines in its reasonable discretion that the adoption of, or any change in or in the interpretation, application or administration of, or compliance with, any Requirement of Law from any Governmental Authority regarding capital adequacy, liquidity, reserves, special deposits, compulsory loans, insurance charges against property of, deposits with or for the account of, U.S. Secured Obligations owing to, or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or L/C Issuer or any similar requirement, in each case after the date hereof, shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s (or any corporation controlling such Lender or L/C Issuer) as a consequence of its obligations under or with respect to any U.S. Loan Document or Letter of Credit to a level below that which, taking into account the capital adequacy policies of such Lender, L/C Issuer or corporation, such Lender, L/C Issuer or corporation could have achieved but for such adoption or change, then, on demand by such Lender or L/C Issuer (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or L/C Issuer amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer for such reduction.

(d)Compensation Certificate Look Back. Each demand for compensation under this Section 2.16 shall be accompanied by a certificate of the Lender or L/C Issuer claiming such compensation, setting forth the amounts to be paid hereunder in reasonable detail, which certificate shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender or L/C Issuer may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(e)Additional Costs. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Bank for International Settlements and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith shall be deemed to be a change in a Requirement of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued; and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives under or issued in connection with the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority), in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed to be a change in a Requirement of Law regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

Section 1.17Taxes.

(a)Payments Free and Clear of Taxes. Except as required by a Requirement of Law, each payment by any U.S. Loan Party under any U.S. Loan Document shall be made free and clear of all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, withholdings (including backup withholding), assessments, fees or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority, including any interest, additions to tax, or penalties with respect thereto (collectively, “Taxes”).

(b)Gross-Up. If any Taxes shall be required by any Requirement of Law to be deducted from or in respect of any amount payable under any U.S. Loan Document to any Tax Indemnitee (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, such amount payable shall be increased as necessary to ensure that, after all required deductions or withholdings for Indemnified Taxes are made (including deductions or withholdings applicable to any increases to any amount under this Section 2.17), such Tax Indemnitee receives the amount it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the relevant U.S. Loan Party shall make such deductions or withholdings, (iii) the relevant U.S. Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and (iv) within 30 days after such payment is made, the relevant U.S. Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(c)Other Taxes. In addition, each U.S. Loan Party agrees to pay, and authorizes the Administrative Agent to pay in its name, any stamp, documentary, excise or property Tax, charges or similar levies imposed by any applicable Requirement of Law or Governmental Authority in each case arising from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any U.S. Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein, except any such Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment requested by Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.18) or a change in Lender’s lending office (collectively, “Other Taxes”). Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Other Taxes by any U.S. Loan Party, the relevant U.S. Loan Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent an original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d)Indemnification. Each U.S. Loan Party shall reimburse and indemnify, within 30 days after receipt of demand therefor (with copy to the Administrative Agent), each Tax Indemnitee for all Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.17) paid or payable by such Tax Indemnitee whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. A certificate of such Tax Indemnitee (or of the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Tax Indemnitee) claiming any compensation under this clause (d), setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to the relevant U.S. Loan Party with copy to the Administrative Agent, shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(e)Mitigation. Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its lending office if such a change would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. Without limiting their liability under other provisions of this Agreement, the U.S. Loan Parties hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such change.

(f)Tax Forms.

(i)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any U.S. 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 Requirements of 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 set forth in Sections 2.17(f)(ii), (f)(iii), (f)(iv) and (f)(v) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense or would prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Non-U.S. Lender Party that is entitled to an exemption from United States withholding Tax or is subject to such withholding Tax at a reduced rate under an applicable Tax treaty, shall (w) on or prior to the date such Non-U.S. Lender Party becomes a “Non-U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes invalid or obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (ii) and (z) from time to time if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) with two completed originals of each of the following, as applicable: (A) Forms W-8ECI (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding Tax because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business), W-8BEN (claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding Tax under an income Tax treaty) or any successor forms, (B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender Party claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding Tax under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender Party is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no payment in connection with any U.S. Loan Document are effectively connected with such Non-U.S. Lender Party’s or its direct or indirect partners/members’ conduct of a U.S. trade or business, (C) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender Party is not the beneficial owner of such payments, Form W-8IMY, accompanied by Forms W-8ECI, W-8BEN and/or W-9, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3 and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if such Non-U.S. Lender Party is a partnership for U.S. federal income Tax purposes and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender Party are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender Party may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4, or (D) to the extent the Non-U.S. Lender Party is legally entitled to do so, any other applicable document prescribed by the IRS

certifying as to the entitlement of such Non-U.S. Lender Party to such exemption from United States withholding Tax or reduced rate with respect to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender Party under the U.S. Loan Documents. Each Non-U.S. Lender Party agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its legal inability to do so.

(iii)Each U.S. Lender Party shall (A) on or prior to the date such U.S. Lender Party becomes a “U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (B) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes invalid or obsolete, (C) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (f) and (D) from time to time if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) with two completed originals of Form W-9 (certifying that such U.S. Lender Party is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding Tax) or any successor form.

(iv)If a payment made to a Lender Party under any U.S. Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender Party fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Lender Party 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 Requirements of Law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(v)Each Lender having sold a participation in any of its U.S. Secured Obligations or identified an SPV as such to the Administrative Agent shall collect from such participant or SPV the documents described in this clause (f) and provide them to the Administrative Agent.

(g)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If a Tax Indemnitee 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 2.17 (including the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.17), it shall pay to the relevant U.S. Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Tax Indemnitee and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of such Tax Indemnitee, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such U.S. Loan Party (plus penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Tax Indemnitee in the event such Tax Indemnitee is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything contrary in this Section 2.17(g), in no event shall a Tax Indemnitee would be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.17(g) the payment of which would place the Tax Indemnitee in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Tax Indemnitee would have been if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.17(g) shall not be construed to require any Tax Indemnitee to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

Section 1.18Substitution of Lenders.

(a)Substitution Right. Unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, in the event that any Lender in any U.S. Facility (an “Affected Lender”), (i) makes a claim under clause (b) or (c) of Section 2.16, (ii) notifies the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.15(b) that it becomes illegal for such Lender to continue to fund or make any Term SOFR Loan in such U.S. Facility, (iii) makes a claim for payment pursuant to Section 2.17(b) or Section 2.17(d), (iv) becomes a Non-Funding Lender, or (v) does not consent to any amendment, waiver or consent to any U.S. Loan Document for which the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but that requires the consent of other Lenders in such U.S. Facility, the Borrower may either pay in full such Affected Lender with respect to amounts due in such U.S. Facility with the consent of the Administrative Agent or substitute for such Affected Lender in such U.S. Facility any Lender or any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any Lender or any other Person reasonably acceptable (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably

withheld or delayed) to the Administrative Agent (in each case, a “Substitute Lender”); provided that in any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.18(a)(v) that has the effect of reducing the Effective Yield for the Loans shall be accompanied by the Repricing Premium.

(b)Procedure. To substitute such Affected Lender or pay in full the U.S. Secured Obligations owed to such Affected Lender under such U.S. Facility as described in the first sentence of clause (a) above, the Borrower shall deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender. The effectiveness of such payment or substitution shall be subject to the delivery to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower (or, as may be applicable in the case of a substitution, by the Substitute Lender) of (i) payment for the account of such Affected Lender, of, to the extent accrued through, and outstanding on, the effective date for such payment or substitution, all U.S. Secured Obligations owing to such Affected Lender with respect to such U.S. Facility (including those that will be owed because of such payment and all U.S. Secured Obligations that would be owed to such Lender if it was solely a Lender in such U.S. Facility), (ii) in the case of a payment in full of the U.S. Secured Obligations owing to such Affected Lender in the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility (and in addition to such amounts owing pursuant to clause (b)(i)), payment of any amount that, after giving effect to the termination of the Commitment of such Affected Lender, is required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.8(d) and (iii) in the case of a substitution, (A) payment of the assignment fee set forth in Section 11.2(c) and (B) an assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent whereby the Substitute Lender shall, among other things, agree to be bound by the terms of the U.S. Loan Documents and assume the Commitment of the Affected Lender under such U.S. Facility.

(c)Effectiveness. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clause (b) above, the Administrative Agent shall record such substitution or payment in the Register, whereupon (i) in the case of any payment in full in any U.S. Facility, such Affected Lender’s Commitments in such U.S. Facility shall be terminated and (ii) in the case of any substitution in any U.S. Facility, (A) the Affected Lender shall sell and be relieved of, and the Substitute Lender shall purchase and assume, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the U.S. Loan Documents with respect to such U.S. Facility, except that the Affected Lender shall retain such rights expressly providing that they survive the repayment of the U.S. Secured Obligations and the termination of the Commitments, (B) the Substitute Lender shall become a “Lender” hereunder holding such Affected Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans in such U.S. Facility and (C) the Affected Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment to evidence such substitution and deliver any Note in its possession with respect to such U.S. Facility; provided, however, that the failure of any Affected Lender to execute any such Assignment or deliver any such Note shall not render such sale and purchase (or the corresponding assignment) invalid. Each Lender agrees that if the Borrower or the Administrative Agent exercises its option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Lender as an Affected Lender, such Lender shall, promptly after receipt of notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment in accordance with Section 11.2.

Section 1.19[Reserved.]

Section 1.20Permanent Discontinuance of SOFR.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other U.S. Loan Document (and any Secured Hedging Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.20), if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any U.S. Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders (without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other U.S. Loan Document), so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

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

(c)The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.20, 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 U.S. Loan Document or any notification by the Administrative Agent, except as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.20.

(d) Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Term SOFR Borrowing to be made, and any request for a conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a Term SOFR Loan and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any request for a Term SOFR Borrowing into a request for a Base Rate Borrowing and to have revoked any request for a conversion of a Base Rate Loan into a Term SOFR Loan. Furthermore, if any Term SOFR Loan is outstanding

on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.20, such Term SOFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute a Base Rate Loan.

Section 1.6The Agents Individually

. The Administrative Agent, the U.S. Collateral Agents and its respective Affiliates may make loans and other extensions of credit to, acquire Equity Interests and Equity Equivalents of, engage in any kind of business with, any U.S. Loan Party or Affiliate thereof as though it were not acting as Administrative Agent or U.S. Collateral Agent and may receive separate fees and other payments therefor. To the extent that any of the Administrative Agent, the U.S. Collateral Agents or any of its respective Affiliates makes any Loan or otherwise becomes a Lender hereunder, it shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and shall be subject to the same obligations and liabilities as any other Lender and the terms “Lender”, “U.S. Revolving Credit Lender”, “Term Loan Lender”, “Required Lender”, “Required U.S. Revolving Credit Lender” and “Required Term Loan Lender” and any similar terms shall, except where otherwise expressly provided in any U.S. Loan Document, include the Administrative Agent, the U.S. Collateral Agents or such Affiliate, as the case may be, in its individual capacity as Lender, U.S. Revolving Credit Lender, Term Loan Lender or as one of the Required Lenders, Required U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders or Required Term Loan Lenders respectively.

Section 1.7Lender Credit Decision

. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon any of the Administrative Agent or the U.S. Collateral Agents, any Lender or L/C Issuer or any of their Related Persons or upon any document (including the Disclosure Documents) solely or in part because such document was transmitted by any of the Administrative Agent, the U.S. Collateral Agents or any of its respective Related Persons, conduct its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each U.S. Loan Party and make and continue to make its own credit decisions in connection with entering into, and taking or not taking any action under, any U.S. Loan Document or with respect to any transaction contemplated in any U.S. Loan Document, in each case based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate. Except for documents expressly required by any U.S. Loan Document to be transmitted by any of the Administrative Agent or the U.S. Collateral

Agents to the Lenders or L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Collateral Agents shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or L/C Issuer with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any U.S. Loan Party or any Affiliate of any U.S. Loan Party that may come in to the possession of any of the Administrative Agent, the U.S. Collateral Agents or any of its respective Related Persons.

Section 1.8Expenses; Indemnities.

(a)Each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, the U.S. Collateral Agents, the L/C Issuer and each of its respective Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any U.S. Loan Party) promptly upon demand for such Lender’s Pro Rata Share with respect to the U.S. Facilities of any costs and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of financial, legal and other advisors and Other Taxes paid in the name of, or on behalf of, any U.S. Loan Party) that may be incurred by the Administrative Agent, the U.S. Collateral Agents, the L/C Issuer or any of its respective Related Persons in connection with the preparation, syndication, execution, delivery, administration, modification, consent, waiver or enforcement (whether through negotiations, through any work-out, bankruptcy, restructuring or other legal or other proceeding or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, any U.S. Loan Document.

(b)Each Lender further agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the U.S. Collateral Agents, the L/C Issuer and each of its respective Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any U.S. Loan Party), from and against such Lender’s aggregate Pro Rata Share with respect to the U.S. Facilities of the Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of the Administrative Agent, the U.S. Collateral Agents, the L/C Issuer or any of its respective Related Persons in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any U.S. Loan Document or any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any such document, or, in each case, any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of the Administrative Agent, the U.S. Collateral Agents, the L/C Issuer or any of its respective Related Persons under or with respect to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to any of the Administrative Agent, the U.S. Collateral Agents, the L/C Issuer or any of its respective Related Persons to the extent such liability has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Administrative Agent, the U.S. Collateral Agents, the L/C Issuer or, as the case may be, such Related Person, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order. This Section 10.8(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes.

(c)To the extent required by any Requirement of Law, the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Collateral Agents may withhold from any payment to any Lender under a U.S. Loan Document an amount equal to any applicable withholding Tax (including withholding Taxes imposed under Chapters 3 and 4 of Subtitle A of the Code). If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent or the U.S. Collateral Agents did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate certification was not delivered, was not properly executed, or fails to establish an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax with respect to a particular type of payment, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent, the U.S. Collateral Agents or any other Person of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective, failed to maintain a Participant Register or for any other reason), or the Administrative Agent or any U.S. Collateral Agent reasonably determines that it was required to withhold Taxes from a prior payment but failed to do so, such Lender shall promptly indemnify the Administrative Agent or the U.S. Collateral Agents, as applicable, fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent or the U.S. Collateral Agents as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties and interest, and together with all reasonable expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or the U.S. Collateral Agents, as applicable, including legal expenses and out-of-pocket expenses (but only to the extent that the U.S. Loan Parties have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the U.S. Loan Parties to do so). The Administrative Agent and the U.S. Collateral Agents may offset against any payment to any Lender under a U.S. Loan Document, any applicable withholding Tax that was required to be withheld from any prior payment to such Lender but which was not so withheld, as well as any other amounts for which it is entitled to indemnification from such Lender under this.

Section 1.9Resignation of Agent or L/C Issuer.

(a)The Administrative Agent and each U.S. Collateral Agent may resign at any time by delivering notice of such resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower, effective on the date set forth in such notice or, if no such date is set forth therein, upon the date such notice shall be effective. If the Administrative Agent or any U.S. Collateral Agent delivers any such notice, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor agent. If, within 30 days after the retiring agent having given notice of resignation, no successor agent has been appointed by the Required Lenders that has accepted such appointment, then the retiring agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor agent. Each appointment under this clause (a) shall be subject to the prior consent of the Borrower, which may not be unreasonably withheld but shall not be required during the continuance of a Default.

(b)Effective immediately upon its resignation, (i) the retiring agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the U.S. Loan Documents, (ii) the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of such agent until a successor agent shall have accepted a valid appointment hereunder, (iii) the retiring agent and its Related Persons shall no longer have the benefit of any provision of any U.S. Loan Document other than with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken while such retiring Agent was, or because such agent had been, validly acting as agent under the U.S. Loan Documents and (iv) subject to its rights under Section 10.3, the retiring agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor agent its rights as the relevant Agent under the U.S. Loan Documents. Effective immediately upon its acceptance of a valid appointment as the relevant Agent, a successor agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring agent under the U.S. Loan Documents.

(c)Any L/C Issuer may resign at any time by delivering notice of such resignation to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, effective on the date set forth in such notice or, if no such date is set forth therein, on the date such notice shall be effective. Upon such resignation, the L/C Issuer shall remain an L/C Issuer and shall retain its rights and obligations in its capacity as such (other than any obligation to Issue Letters of Credit but including the right to receive fees or to have Lenders participate in any L/C Reimbursement Obligation thereof) with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer prior to the date of such resignation and shall otherwise be discharged from all other duties and obligations under the U.S. Loan Documents.

Section 1.10Release of U.S. Collateral

. Each Lender and L/C Issuer hereby consents to the automatic release and hereby directs the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Collateral Agents, as applicable, to release or subordinate any Lien held by the U.S. Collateral Agents for the benefit of the U.S. Secured Parties in accordance with the U.S. Security Documents.

Each Lender and L/C Issuer hereby directs the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Collateral Agents, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent and U.S. Collateral Agents (as applicable) hereby agree, upon receipt of reasonable advance notice from the Borrower, to execute and deliver or file such documents and to perform other actions reasonably necessary to release such Liens when and as directed in this Section 10.10.

Section 1.11Lead Arranger

. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other U.S. Loan Document, the Lead Arranger shall not have any duties or responsibilities, nor shall the Lead Arranger have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other U.S. Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Lead Arranger.

(iv)waive or postpone any scheduled maturity date or other scheduled date fixed for the payment, in whole or in part, of principal of or interest on any Loan or fee owing to such Lender or for the reduction of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that this clause (iv) does not apply to any change to mandatory prepayments, including those required under Section 2.8, or to the application of any payment, including as set forth in Section 2.12;

accordance with the terms hereof), in each case in a manner adverse to any Secured Hedging Counterparty, shall be effective without the consent of such Secured Hedging Counterparty.

(b)Each waiver or consent under any U.S. Loan Document shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any U.S. Loan Party shall entitle any U.S. Loan Party to any notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. No failure on the part of any U.S. Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

Section 1.2Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect.

(a)Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower, the U.S. Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Collateral Agents. Thereafter, it shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, but only to the benefit of the Borrower (in each case except for Article 10), the Administrative Agent, the U.S. Collateral Agents, each Lender and L/C Issuer and, to the extent provided in Section 10.11, each other Indemnitee. Except as expressly provided in any U.S. Loan Document (including in Section 10.9), none of the L/C Issuer, the U.S. Collateral Agents or the Administrative Agent shall have the right to assign any rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein. None of the U.S. Loan Parties shall have the right to assign any rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein.

(b)Right to Assign. Each Lender may only sell, transfer, negotiate or assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all or a portion of its Commitments and its rights and obligations with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit) to:

(i)any existing Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender);

(ii)any Affiliate (other than an individual) or Approved Fund of any existing Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender); or

(iii)any other Person (other than a Non-Funding Lender, an Impacted Lender, or an individual);

with the consent of, (A) in the case of the any assignment under clause (i) or (iii), (1) the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (2) with respect to assignments of U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments, each L/C Issuer that is a Lender, and (3) as long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to a proposed assignment unless the Borrower objects thereto by notice to Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof); and (B) in the case of any assignment under clause (ii) of U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments, each L/C Issuer that is a Lender.

Assignments do not have to be ratable between the U.S. Facilities but must be ratable among the obligations owing to and owed by such Lender with respect to a U.S. Facility.

For each U.S. Facility, the aggregate outstanding principal amount (determined as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment) of the Loans, Commitments and L/C Obligations subject to any such assignments shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 with respect to Term Loans and $1,000,000 with respect to U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments, and in each case, in multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof, unless such assignment is made to an existing Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender, is of the assignor’s (together with its Affiliates and Approved Funds) entire interest in such U.S. Facility or is made with the prior consent of the Borrower (to the extent the Borrower’s consent is otherwise required) and the Administrative Agent.

Assignments by Lenders who are Non-Funding Lenders due to clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender shall be subject to the Administrative Agent’s prior consent in all instances, unless in connection with such sale, such Non-Funding Lender cures, or causes the cure of, its Non-Funding Lender status as contemplated in Section 2.2(c)(v). The Administrative Agent’s refusal to accept an assignment to a U.S. Loan Party, an Affiliate of a U.S. Loan Party or to a Person that would be (or could reasonably be expected to become) a Non-Funding Lender or an Impacted Lender, or the imposition of conditions or limitations (including limitations on voting) upon assignments to such Persons, shall not be deemed to be unreasonable.

(c)Procedure. The parties to each assignment made in reliance on clause (b) above (other than those described in clause (e) or (f) below) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment via an electronic settlement system designated by the Administrative Agent (or if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, via a manual execution and delivery of the assignment) evidencing such assignment, together with any existing Note subject to such assignment (or any affidavit of loss therefor reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), any Tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.17(f) and payment of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 (unless waived or reduced by the Administrative Agent), provided that (1) if an assignment by a Lender is made to an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of such assigning Lender, then no assignment fee shall be due in connection with such assignment, and (2) if an assignment by a Lender is made to an assignee that is not an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such assignor Lender, and concurrently to one or more Affiliates or Approved Funds of such assignee, then only one assignment fee of $3,500 shall be due in connection with such assignment (unless waived or reduced by the Administrative Agent). Upon receipt of all the foregoing, and conditioned upon such receipt and, if such assignment is made in accordance with Section 11.2(b)(iii), upon the Administrative Agent (and the Borrower, if applicable) consenting to such Assignment, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment, the Administrative Agent shall record or cause to be recorded in the Register the information contained in such Assignment.

(d)Effectiveness. Subject to the acknowledgment and recording of an Assignment by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 2.14(b), (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the U.S. Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender (provided that no assignee (including an assignee that is already a Lender hereunder at the time of the assignment) shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to Section 2.17 than that to which the assignor would have been entitled to receive had no such assignment occurred), (ii) any applicable Note shall be transferred to such assignee through such entry and (iii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the U.S. Secured Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the U.S. Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the U.S. Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto, except that each Lender agrees to remain bound by Article 10, Section 11.8 and Section 11.9 to the extent provided in Section 11.20 and Section 10.11).

(e)Grant of Security Interests. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 11.2, each Lender may grant a security interest in, or otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (i) secure any obligations of the Lenders, including any federal reserve bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board) or other central bank, without notice to the Administrative Agent or (ii) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of the holders of, such Lender’s Securities by notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that no such grantee, assignee, holder or trustee, whether because of such grant or assignment or any foreclosure thereon (unless such foreclosure is made through an assignment in accordance with clause (b) above), shall be entitled to any rights of such Lender hereunder and no such Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 1.10Marshaling; Payments Set Aside

. No U.S. Secured Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any Property in favor of any U.S. Loan Party or any other party or against or in payment of any U.S. Secured Obligation.

Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC, the U.S. Loan Documents and the International Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
