Each Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be in an amount not less than the Revolving Credit Borrowing Minimum or the Revolving Credit Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof and shall consist of Revolving Credit Advances of the same Type and in the same currency made on the same day by the Lenders ratably according to their respective Revolving Credit Commitments. Within the limits of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.1(a), prepay pursuant to Section 2.10 and reborrow under this Section 2.1(a).

No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date (including all rights of the Borrower or the beneficiary to require renewal) later than five Business Days before the latest Termination Date. Within the limits referred to above, the Borrower may from time to time request the Issuance of Letters of Credit under this Section 2.1(b).

SECTION 2.2. Making the Advances. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.2(b) or Section 2.3(c), each Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than (x) 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the second Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of LIBO Rate Advances denominated in Dollars, (y) 4:00 P.M. (London time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of LIBO Rate Advances denominated in any Committed Currency, or (z) 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent by telecopier, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice (in the case of a proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, by 12:00 P.M. (New York City time)) thereof by telecopier or electronic mail. Each such notice of a Revolving Credit Borrowing (a “Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing”) shall be by telephone, confirmed promptly in writing, or telecopier in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, (ii) Type of Advances comprising such Revolving Credit Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, and (iv) in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of LIBO Rate Advances, initial Interest Period and currency for each such Revolving Credit Advance. Each Lender shall, before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of LIBO Rate Advances denominated in Dollars, before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances and before 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of LIBO Rate Advances denominated in any Committed Currency, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Revolving Credit Borrowing. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.2 the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower at the account of the Borrower specified in the applicable Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing; provided, however, that, if such borrowing is denominated in Dollars, the Administrative Agent shall first make a portion of such funds equal to the aggregate principal amount of any Swing Line Advances made by the Swing Line Bank and by any other Lender and outstanding on the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, plus interest accrued and unpaid thereon to and as of such date, available to the Swing Line Bank and such other Lenders for repayment of such Swing Line Advances.

(b) Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing by the Borrower to the Swing Line Bank and the Administrative Agent, of which the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Lenders. Each such notice of a Swing Line Borrowing (a “Notice of Swing Line Borrowing”) shall be by telephone, confirmed promptly in writing, or telecopier in substantially the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) amount of such Borrowing and (iii) maturity of such Borrowing (which maturity shall be no later than the tenth day after the requested date of such Borrowing). The Swing Line Bank shall, before 4:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such Swing Line Borrowing, make the Swing Line Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.2, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower at the account of the Borrower specified in the applicable Notice of Swing Line Borrowing. Upon written demand by the Swing Line Bank, with a copy of such

demand to the Administrative Agent, each other Lender will purchase from the Swing Line Bank, and the Swing Line Bank shall sell and assign to each such other Lender, such other Lender’s Ratable Share of such outstanding Swing Line Advance, by making available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Bank, by deposit to the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Swing Line Advance to be purchased by such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to each such sale and assignment. Each Lender agrees to purchase its Ratable Share of an outstanding Swing Line Advance on (i) the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by the Swing Line Bank, provided that notice of such demand is given not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on such Business Day or (ii) the first Business Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given after such time. Upon any such assignment by the Swing Line Bank to any other Lender of a portion of a Swing Line Advance, the Swing Line Bank represents and warrants to such other Lender that the Swing Line Bank is the legal and beneficial owner of such interest being assigned by it, but makes no other representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to such Swing Line Advance, this Agreement, the Notes or the Borrower. If and to the extent that any Lender shall not have so made the amount of such Swing Line Advance available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such Lender is required to have made such amount available to the Administrative Agent until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount for the account of the Swing Line Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Swing Line Advance made by such Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Advance made by the Swing Line Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day.

(c) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Borrower may not select LIBO Rate Advances for any Revolving Credit Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Borrowing is less than the Revolving Credit Borrowing Minimum or if the obligation of the Lenders to make LIBO Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.8 or 3.1 and (ii) the LIBO Rate Advances may not be outstanding as part of more than 15 separate Revolving Credit Borrowings.

(d) Each Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing and Notice of Swing Line Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Revolving Credit Borrowing that the related Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of LIBO Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender in accordance with Section 3.4.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender or the Swing Line Bank prior to the time of any Revolving Credit Borrowing or Swing Line Borrowing, as the case may be, that such Lender or the Swing Line Bank will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s or the Swing Line Bank’s ratable portion of such Revolving Credit Borrowing or Swing Line Borrowing, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender or the Swing Line Bank has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 2.2, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender or the Swing Line Bank shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together 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 (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender or the Swing Line

Bank, (A) the Federal Funds Rate in the case of Advances denominated in Dollars or (B) the cost of funds incurred by the Administrative Agent in respect of such amount in the case of Advances denominated in Committed Currencies. If such Lender or the Swing Line Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s or the Swing Line Bank’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

(f) The failure of any Lender to make the Revolving Credit Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Revolving Credit Advance on the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Revolving Credit Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Revolving Credit Borrowing.

(g) If any Lender shall default in its obligations under Section 2.1, the Agents shall, at the request of the Borrower, use reasonable efforts to find a bank or other financial institution acceptable to the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Bank and each Issuing Bank to replace such Lender on terms acceptable to the Borrower and to have such bank or other financial institution replace such Lender.

(h) Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its obligation to make or continue Advances hereunder by causing one of its foreign branches or Affiliates (or an international banking facility created by such Lender) to make or maintain such Advance; provided that such Advance shall nonetheless be deemed to have been made and to be held by such Lender, and the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Advance shall nevertheless be to such Lender for the account of such foreign branch, Affiliate or international banking facility.

SECTION 2.3. Issuance of and Drawings and Reimbursement Under Letters of Credit. (a) Request for Issuance. (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be Issued upon notice, given not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Issuance of such Letter of Credit (or on such shorter notice as the applicable Issuing Bank may agree), by the Borrower to any Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall give the Administrative Agent, prompt notice thereof. Each such notice by the Borrower of Issuance of a Letter of Credit (a “Notice of Issuance”) shall be by telecopier or telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, specifying therein the requested (A) date of such Issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (B) Available Amount of such Letter of Credit, (C) expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (D) name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (E) form of such Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit shall be Issued pursuant to such application and agreement for letter of credit as such Issuing Bank and the Borrower shall agree for use in connection with such requested Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Agreement”). If the requested form of such Letter of Credit is acceptable to such Issuing Bank in its reasonable discretion (it being understood that any such form shall have only explicit documentary conditions to draw and shall not include discretionary conditions), such Issuing Bank will, upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.2, make such Letter of Credit available to the Borrower at its office referred to in Section 11.2 or as otherwise agreed with the Borrower in connection with such Issuance. In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

(b) Participations. By the Issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing or decreasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby agrees to each such participation. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely

and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Ratable Share of each drawing made under a Letter of Credit funded by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date made, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason, which amount will be advanced, and deemed to be an Advance to the Borrower hereunder, regardless of the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.2. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees that its participation in each Letter of Credit will be automatically adjusted to reflect such Lender’s Ratable Share of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit at each time such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment is amended pursuant to a Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.14, an assignment in accordance with Section 11.11.1 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Drawing and Reimbursement. The payment by an Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit which is not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date made shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by any such Issuing Bank of an Advance, which, in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars, shall be a Base Rate Advance in the amount of such draft, and, in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in a Commitment Currency, shall be a Base Rate Advance in an amount equal to the Equivalent of Dollars of such Committed Currency determined on the date of such drawing, without regard to whether the making of such an Advance would exceed such Issuing Bank’s Unused Commitment. Each Issuing Bank shall give prompt notice of each drawing under any Letter of Credit Issued by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Upon written demand by such Issuing Bank, with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Ratable Share of such outstanding Advance pursuant to Section 2.3(b). Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to make Advances pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent shall transfer such funds to such Issuing Bank. Each Lender agrees to fund its Ratable Share of an outstanding Advance on (i) the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by such Issuing Bank, provided that notice of such demand is given not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on such Business Day, or (ii) the first Business Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given after such time. If and to the extent that any Lender shall not have so made the amount of such Advance available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by any such Issuing Bank until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for its account or the account of such Issuing Bank, as applicable. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount for the account of any such Issuing Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute an Advance made by such Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Advance made by such Issuing Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day.

(d) Letter of Credit Reports. Each Issuing Bank shall furnish (A) to the Administrative Agent and each Lender (with a copy to the Borrower) on the first Business Day of each month a written report summarizing Issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit Issued by such Issuing Bank during the preceding month and drawings during such month under all Letters of Credit and (B) to the

Administrative Agent and each Lender (with a copy to the Borrower) on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter a written report setting forth the average daily aggregate Available Amount during the preceding calendar quarter of all Letters of Credit Issued by such Issuing Bank.

(e) Failure to Make Advances. The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it on the date specified in Section 2.3(c) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Advance on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on such date.

SECTION 2.4. Fees. (a) Facility Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee on the aggregate amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment from the Effective Date in the case of each Lender party hereto on the Effective Date and from the effective date specified in the Added Lender Agreement or in the Lender Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it became a Lender in the case of each other Lender until the Termination Date applicable to such Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing December 31, 2017, and on the Termination Date applicable to such Lender; provided that no Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any facility fee in respect of its Revolving Credit Commitment for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender), other than a facility fee, as described above, on the aggregate principal amount of Advances funded by such Defaulting Lender outstanding from time to time.

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. (i) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commission on such Lender’s Ratable Share of the average daily aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and outstanding from time to time at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBO Rate Advances in effect from time to time during such calendar quarter, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the quarter ended December 31, 2017, and on the Termination Date applicable to such Lender; provided, that no Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commission in respect of Letters of Credit for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay such commission to that Defaulting Lender but shall pay such commission as set forth in Section 2.15);

(ii) The Borrower shall pay to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee in an amount agreed between the Borrower and such Issuing Bank and such other issuance fees, transfer fees and other fees and charges in connection with the Issuance or administration of each Letter of Credit as the Borrower and such Issuing Bank shall agree.

SECTION 2.5. Termination or Reduction of the Commitments. (a) Ratable Termination or Reduction. The Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate in whole or permanently reduce ratably in part the Unused Commitments or the Unissued Letter of Credit Commitments of the Lenders, provided that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

(b) Termination of Defaulting Lender. The Borrower shall be entitled at any time to (i) terminate the Unused Commitment of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to any reallocation of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure and Swing Line Exposure, as provided in Section 2.15) (the “Defaulted Commitments”) upon prior notice of not less than one Business Day to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and/or (ii) replace all

of the Commitments or the Defaulted Commitments of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender with Commitments of another financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Bank and each Issuing Bank, provided that (x) each such assignment shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments that together cover all of the rights and obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement with respect to all of the Commitments or the Defaulted Commitments, as the case may be, and (y) concurrently with such assignment, either the Borrower or one or more assignees shall pay for the account of such Defaulting Lender an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances owing to such Defaulting Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all other amounts payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement. In either such event, the provisions of Section 2.15(e) shall apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower or such assignees for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, facility fees, Letter of Credit commissions or other amounts), provided that (i) no Default and no Prepayment Event shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) such termination or assignment shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Bank or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.6. Repayment of Advances and Letter of Credit Drawings. (a) Revolving Credit Advances. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender on the Termination Date applicable to such Lender the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances made by such Lender and then outstanding.

(b) Letter of Credit Drawings. The obligations of the Borrower under any Letter of Credit Agreement and any other agreement or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Letter of Credit Agreement and such other agreement or instrument under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following circumstances (it being understood that any such payment by the Borrower is without prejudice to, and does not constitute a waiver of, any rights the Borrower might have or might acquire as a result of the payment by any Issuing Bank of any draft or the reimbursement by the Borrower thereof):

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Note, any Letter of Credit Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (all of the foregoing being, collectively, the “L/C Related Documents”);

(ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of any L/C Related Document or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the L/C Related Documents;

(iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any Persons for which any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with the transactions contemplated by the L/C Related Documents or any unrelated transaction;

(iv) any statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(v) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(vi) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of the L/C Related Documents; or

(vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or a guarantor.

(c) Swing Line Advances. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Swing Line Bank and each other Lender which has made a Swing Line Advance the outstanding principal amount of each Swing Line Advance made to it by each of them on the earlier of the maturity date specified in the applicable Notice of Swing Line Borrowing (which maturity shall be no later than ten days after the requested date of such Borrowing) and the Termination Date applicable to the Swing Line Bank.

SECTION 2.7. Interest on Advances. (a) Scheduled Interest. The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance made to it and owing to each Lender or the Swing Line Bank, as the case may be, from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

(i) Base Rate Advances. During such periods as such Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the result of (x) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (y) the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Advances in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December during such periods and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.

(ii) LIBO Rate Advances. During such periods as such Advance is a LIBO Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Revolving Credit Advance to the result of (x) the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period for such LIBO Rate Advance plus (y) the Applicable Margin for LIBO Rate Advances in effect from time to time, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day that occurs during such Interest Period every three months from the first day of such Interest Period and on the date such LIBO Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.

(iii) Swing Line Advances. A rate per annum equal at all times to the result of (x) the Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time plus (y) the Applicable Margin for Swing Line Advances in effect from time to time, in each case payable in arrears on the date such Swing Line Advance shall be paid in full.

(b) Default Interest. After the date any principal amount of any Advance is due and payable (whether on the applicable Termination Date, upon acceleration or otherwise), or after any other monetary Obligation of the Borrower shall have become due and payable, the Borrower shall pay, but only to the extent permitted by law, interest (after as well as before judgment) on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender, payable in arrears on the dates referred to in clause (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (a)(iii) above, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Advance pursuant to clause (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (a)(iii) above and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder that is not paid when

due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on Base Rate Advances pursuant to clause (a)(i) above (as certified by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower (which certification shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error)).

SECTION 2.8. Interest Rate Determination. (a) Each Reference Lender agrees, if requested by the Administrative Agent, to furnish to the Administrative Agent timely information for the purpose of determining each LIBO Rate. If any one or more of the Reference Lenders shall fail to furnish in a timely manner such information to the Administrative Agent for any such interest rate, the Administrative Agent shall determine such interest rate on the basis of the information furnished by the remaining Reference Lenders (provided, that, if all of the Reference Lenders other than the Administrative Agent fail to supply the relevant quotations, the interest rate will be fixed by reference only to the quotation obtained by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Reference Lender). If a Reference Lender ceases for any reason to be able and willing to act as such, the Administrative Agent shall, at the direction of the Required Lenders and after consultation with the Borrower and the Lenders, appoint a replacement for such Reference Lender reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, and such replaced Reference Lender shall cease to be a Reference Lender hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall furnish to the Borrower and to the Lenders each determination of the LIBO Rate (it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to disclose to any party hereto (other than the Borrower) any information regarding any Reference Lender or any rate quoted by a Reference Lender, including, without limitation, whether a Reference Lender has provided a rate or the rate provided by any individual Reference Lender).

(b) If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any LIBO Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.1, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders and such Advances shall, on such last day, automatically be continued as an Advance with an Interest Period having a duration of one month.

SECTION 2.9. Optional Conversion of Revolving Credit Advances. The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent in substantially the form of Exhibit C not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the second Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.8 and 3.1, Convert all Revolving Credit Advances denominated in Dollars of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Revolving Credit Advances denominated in Dollars of the other Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of LIBO Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBO Rate Advances, any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into LIBO Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.2(c) and no Conversion of any Revolving Credit Advances shall result in more separate Revolving Credit Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.2(c). Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Dollar denominated Revolving Credit Advances to be Converted, and (iii) if such Conversion is into LIBO Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

SECTION 2.10. Prepayments of Advances. (a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon notice at least three Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, in the case of LIBO Rate Advances denominated in a Committed Currency, at least two Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, in the case of LIBO Rate Advances denominated in Dollars, and not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of such prepayment, in the case of Base Rate Advances or Swing Line Advances, to the Administrative Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given the Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Advances

comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (A) each partial prepayment of LIBO Rate Advances shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than the Revolving Credit Borrowing Minimum or a Revolving Credit Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof and in the event of any such prepayment of a LIBO Rate Advance, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 3.4 and (B) each partial prepayment of Swing Line Advances shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $1,000,000.

(b) Mandatory. (i) If, on the last day of any calendar month, the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that, on any interest payment date, the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of all Advances denominated in Dollars plus the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars then outstanding plus (B) the Equivalent in Dollars (determined on the third Business Day prior to such interest payment date) of the aggregate principal amount of all Advances denominated in Committed Currencies plus the Available Amount of all Letters of Credit denominated in Committed Currencies then outstanding exceeds 105% of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders on such date, the Borrower shall, as soon as practicable and in any event within five Business Days after receipt of such notice, prepay the outstanding principal amount of any Advances owing by the Borrower in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such sum to an amount not to exceed 100% of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders on such date.

(ii) Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be made together with any interest accrued to the date of such prepayment on the principal amounts prepaid and, in the case of any prepayment of a LIBO Rate Advance on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period or at its maturity, any additional amounts which the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse to the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 3.4. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice of any prepayment required under this Section 2.10(b) to the Borrower and the Lenders.

SECTION 2.11. Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder (except with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances denominated in a Committed Currency), irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off, not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Account in same day funds. The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances denominated in a Committed Currency, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off, not later than 11:00 A.M. (at the Payment Office for such Committed Currency) on the day when due in such Committed Currency to the Administrative Agent, by deposit of such funds to the applicable Administrative Agent’s Account in same day funds. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest, fees or commissions ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(ii), 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 or 3.7) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender Party to such Lender Party for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon any Added Lender becoming a Lender hereunder as a result of a Commitment Increase pursuant to Section 2.14, and upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Lender’s Added Lender Agreement and recording of the information contained therein in the Register, from and after the applicable Increase Date, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assumed thereby to the Added Lender. Upon its acceptance of a Lender Assignment Agreement and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 11.11.3, from and after the effective date specified in such Lender Assignment Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender

assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Lender Assignment Agreement shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

(b) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate and of interest based on the LIBO Rate in respect of Advances denominated in Sterling shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the LIBO Rate in respect of Advances denominated in Dollars or Euros, as applicable, or the Federal Funds Rate and of fees and Letter of Credit commissions shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 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, fees or commissions are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of LIBO Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day and provided, further, that any such adjustment to the payment date shall in each case be made in the computation of payment of interest, fee or commission, as the case may be.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lender Parties 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 Party. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender Party shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender Party together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender Party until the date such Lender Party repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at (i) the Federal Funds Rate in the case of Advances denominated in Dollars or (ii) the cost of funds incurred by the Administrative Agent in respect of such amount in the case of Advances denominated in Committed Currencies.

(e) To the extent that the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the amounts owing by the Borrower under or in respect of this Agreement or any Note in currencies other than the currency or currencies required to enable the Administrative Agent to distribute funds to the Lender Parties in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.11, the Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall be entitled to convert or exchange such funds into Dollars or into a Committed Currency or from Dollars to a Committed Currency or from a Committed Currency to Dollars, as the case may be, to the extent necessary to enable the Administrative Agent to distribute such funds in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.11; provided that the Borrower and each of the Lender Parties hereby agree that the Administrative Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by the Borrower or such Lender Party as a result of any conversion or exchange of currencies affected pursuant to this Section 2.11(e) or as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to effect any such conversion or exchange; and provided further that the Borrower agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party, and hold the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party harmless, for any and all losses, costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party for any conversion or exchange of currencies (or the failure to convert or exchange any currencies) in accordance with this Section 2.11(e).

SECTION 2.12. Sharing of Payments, Etc If any Lender Party shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Advances owing to it (other than (w) as payment of an Advance made by an Issuing Bank pursuant to the first sentence of Section 2.3(c), (x) as a payment of a Swing Line Advance made by the Swing Line Bank that has not been participated to the other Lender Parties pursuant to Section 2.2(b), (y) pursuant to Section 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 or 3.7 or (z) any payments made in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement at any time that a Defaulting Lender exists and any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Commitments or Advances in accordance with Section 2.15, Section 11.11.1 or Section 11.11.2) in excess of its Ratable Share of payments on account of the Revolving Credit Advances obtained by all the Lender Parties, such Lender Party shall forthwith purchase from the other Lender Parties such participations in the Revolving Credit Advances owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender Party to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender Party, such purchase from each Lender Party shall be rescinded and such Lender Party shall repay to the purchasing Lender Party the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender Party’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender Party) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender Party in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender Party so purchasing a participation from another Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.12 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender Party were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.13. Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender Party shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender Party resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender Party from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender Party from time to time hereunder in respect of Advances. The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) to the effect that a Note is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount up to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender.

(b) The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.11.3 shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender Party, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date, currency and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Added Lender Agreement and each Lender Assignment Agreement delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender Party hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender Party’s share thereof.

(c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender Party in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender Party and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender Party, under this Agreement, absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.14. Increase in Aggregate Commitments. (a) The Borrower shall have the right prior to the latest Termination Date then in effect, by notice to the Administrative Agent, to effectuate from time to time an increase in the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments under this Agreement with the consent of the Issuing Banks and the Swing Line Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (i) by adding to this Agreement one or more commercial banks or financial institutions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Bank and each Issuing Bank (who shall, upon completion of the requirements of this Section 2.14 constitute “Lenders” hereunder) (an “Added Lender”), or (ii) by allowing one or more Lenders in their sole discretion to increase their respective Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder (each an “Increasing Lender”), so that such added and increased Revolving Credit Commitments shall equal the increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments effectuated pursuant to this Section 2.14; provided that (i) no added Revolving Credit Commitment shall be less than $10,000,000, (ii) no increase in or added Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall result in aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments exceeding $1,650,000,000, and (iii) no Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment shall be increased under this Section 2.14 without the consent of such Lender. The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent on or before the effective date of any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments of each of the following items with respect to each Added Lender and Increasing Lender:

(i) a written notice of the Borrower’s intention to increase the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14, which shall specify each Added Lender and the amount of such Added Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment (if any), each Increasing Lender and the amount of the increase in such Increasing Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment (if any), and such other information as is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent;

(ii) documents in the form of Exhibit E or Exhibit F, as applicable, executed and delivered by each Added Lender and each Increasing Lender, pursuant to which such Lender becomes a party hereto or increases its Revolving Credit Commitment, as the case may be; and

(iii) if requested by the applicable Lender, Notes or replacement Notes, as the case may be, executed and delivered by the Borrower.

(b) Upon receipt of any notice referred to in clause (a)(i) above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Upon execution and delivery of such documents (the “Increased Commitment Date”)and satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clause (c) below, such new Lender shall constitute a “Lender” hereunder with a Revolving Credit Commitment as specified therein, or such Increasing Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment shall increase as specified therein, as the case may be. Immediately upon the effectiveness of the addition of such Added Lender or the increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Increasing Lender under this Section 2.14, (i) the respective Ratable Shares of the Lenders shall be deemed modified as appropriate to correspond to such changed aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, and (ii) if there are at such time outstanding any Advances, each Lender whose Ratable Share has been decreased as a result of the increase in the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments shall be deemed to have assigned, without recourse, to each Added Lender and Increasing Lender such portion of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Advances as shall be necessary to effectuate such adjustment in Ratable Shares. Each Increasing Lender and Added Lender (A) shall be deemed to have assumed such portion of such Revolving Credit Advances and (B) shall fund to each other Lender on the Increased Commitment Date the amount of Revolving Credit Advances assigned by it to such Lender.

(c) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increases. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the increase of Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section shall not be effective with respect to any Lender unless:

(i) no Default or Prepayment Event or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a Prepayment Event shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such increase and after giving effect thereto; and

(ii) the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are true and correct on and as of the date of such extension and after giving effect thereto, as though made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date).

SECTION 2.15. Defaulting Lenders. (a) If any L/C Exposure or Swing Line Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, and the Commitments have not been terminated in accordance with Section 7.3, then:

(i) so long as no Default and no Prepayment Event shall have occurred and be continuing, all or any part of the L/C Exposure or Swing Line Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders (“Non-Defaulting Lenders”) in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares (disregarding any Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment) but only to the extent that each Non-Defaulting Lender’s total Revolving Credit Exposure does not exceed the Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation. Subject to Section 11.20, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within three Business Days following notice by any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Bank, first (x) cover the exposure of the Swing Line Bank to such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Line Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) by prepaying Swing Line Advances in an amount sufficient to permit such reallocation to be effected completely or providing cash collateral or a letter of credit to the Swing Line Bank, and second (y) cover the exposure of such Issuing Bank to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) by prepaying Revolving Credit Advances in an amount sufficient to permit such reallocation to be effected completely or providing cash collateral or a letter of credit to such Issuing Bank; provided that in each case of clauses (x) and (y) above, such cash collateral or letter of credit shall be released promptly upon the earliest of, (A) so long as no Default and no Prepayment Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the reallocation of the Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure and Swing Line Exposure among Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with clause (i) above, (B) the termination of the Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender or (C) the existence of excess cash collateral or letter of credit coverage (in which case, the amount equal to such excess cash collateral or letter of credit coverage shall be released);

(iii) if the L/C Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.15(a), then the fees payable to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(i) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Ratable Share of the total L/C Exposure; and

(iv) if any Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to Section 2.15(a), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.4(b)(i) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Ratable Share of the total L/C Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is cash collateralized, backed by a letter of credit and/or reallocated.

(b) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to Issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, and no Swing Line Bank shall be required to make any Swing Line Advance, unless the Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Bank, as the case may be, is satisfied that the related L/C Exposure or Swing Line Exposure, as the case may be, will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders, cash collateral or a letter of credit provided by the Borrower, and participating interests in any such newly Issued or increased Letter of Credit or Swing Line Advance shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.15(a)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

(c) No Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.15, performance by the Borrower of its obligations shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of the operation of this Section 2.15. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.15 are in addition to any other rights and remedies which the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Bank or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

(d) If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Bank and each Issuing Bank agree in writing in their reasonable determination that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral or letters of credit), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Exposure to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Ratable Shares (without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any payment of principal, interest, facility fees, Letter of Credit commissions or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of any Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to each Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Bank hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by each Issuing Bank, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender in respect of any participation in any Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default and no Prepayment Event shall have occurred and be continuing), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the

Borrower, to be held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Advances under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, each Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Bank as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Bank against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default and no Prepayment Event shall have occurred and be continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Advances were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of such Defaulting Lender and provided further that any amounts held as cash collateral for funding obligations of a Defaulting Lender shall be returned to such Defaulting Lender upon the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction of such Defaulting Lender’s obligations hereunder. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

SECTION 2.16. Extension of Termination Date.(a) Requests for Extension. The Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) not earlier than 60 days and not later than 45 days prior to any anniversary of the Closing Date, request that each Lender extend such Lender’s Termination Date for an additional one year from the Termination Date then applicable to such Lender; provided that the Borrower may not extend the Termination Date under this Section 2.16 on more than two occasions.

(b) Lender Elections to Extend. Each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given not later than the date (the “Notice Date”) that is 30 days prior to such anniversary, advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension (and each Lender that determines not to so extend its Termination Date (a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Notice Date) and any Lender that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree.

(c) Notification by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of each Lender’s determination under this Section no later than the date 25 days prior to the applicable anniversary of the Closing Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day).

(d) Additional Commitment Lenders. The Borrower shall have the right on or before the applicable anniversary of the Closing Date to replace each Non-Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more commercial banks or financial institutions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Bank and each Issuing Bank (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”) as provided in Section 11.11 each of which Additional Commitment Lenders shall have entered into a Lender Assignment Agreement pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Lender shall, effective as of such anniversary, undertake a Commitment (and, if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender, its Commitment shall be in addition to such

Lender’s Commitment(s) hereunder on such date); provided that no Non-Extending Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to this Section unless and until such Non-Extending Lender shall have received one or more payments from either the Borrower or one or more assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances owing to such Non-Extending Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all other amounts payable to such Non-Extending Lender under this Agreement.

(e) Minimum Extension Requirement. If (and only if) the total of the Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed so to extend their Termination Date and the additional Commitments of the Additional Commitment Lenders shall be more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments in effect immediately prior to the applicable anniversary of the Closing Date, then, effective as of such anniversary, the Termination Date of each Extending Lender and of each Additional Commitment Lender shall be extended to the date falling one year after the latest Termination Date then in effect (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Termination Date as so extended shall be the next preceding Business Day) and each Additional Commitment Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement.

(f) Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the extension of the Termination Date pursuant to this Section shall not be effective with respect to any Lender unless:

(i) no Default or Prepayment Event or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a Prepayment Event shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such extension and after giving effect thereto; and

ARTICLE III CERTAIN LIBO RATE AND OTHER PROVISIONS

SECTION 3.1. LIBO Rate Lending Unlawful. If the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority having jurisdiction over such Lender asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to make, continue or maintain any Advance bearing interest at a rate based on the LIBO Rate, the obligations of such Lender to make, continue or maintain any Advances bearing interest at a rate based on the LIBO Rate shall, upon notice thereof to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each other Lender, forthwith be suspended until the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, provided that such Lender’s obligation to make, continue and maintain Advances hereunder shall be automatically converted into an obligation to make, continue and maintain Advances bearing interest at a rate to be negotiated between such Lender and the Borrower that is the equivalent of the sum of the LIBO Rate for the relevant Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin applicable to LIBO Rate Advances or, if such negotiated rate is not agreed upon by the Borrower and such Lender within fifteen Business Days, a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin applicable to LIBO Rate Advances.

SECTION 3.2. Deposits Unavailable. If the Administrative Agent shall have determined that:

(a) deposits in the relevant amount, in the relevant currency and for the relevant Interest Period are not available to the Reference Lenders in their relevant market; or

(b) by reason of circumstances affecting the Reference Lenders’ relevant market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable hereunder to LIBO Rate Advances,

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice of such determination (hereinafter called a “Determination Notice”) to the Borrower and each of the Lenders. The Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall then negotiate in good faith in order to agree upon a mutually satisfactory interest rate and interest period (or interest periods) to be substituted for those which would otherwise have applied under this Agreement. If the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent are unable to agree upon an interest rate (or rates) and interest period (or interest periods) prior to the date occurring fifteen Business Days after the giving of such Determination Notice, the interest rate to take effect at the end of the Interest Period current at the date of the Determination Notice shall be equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin applicable to LIBO Rate Advances plus the Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time.

SECTION 3.3. Increased Costs, etc. If a change in any applicable treaty, law, regulation or regulatory requirement (including by introduction or adoption of any new treaty, law, regulation or regulatory requirement) or in the interpretation thereof or in its application to the Borrower, or if compliance by any Lender Party with any applicable direction, request, requirement or guideline (whether or not having the force of law, and for the avoidance of doubt, including any changes resulting from (i) requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy or liquidity issued in connection with the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and in each case for both clauses (i) and (ii), regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued) of any governmental or other authority including, without limitation, any agency of the United States, the European Union or similar monetary or multinational authority insofar as it may be changed or imposed after the date hereof, shall:

(a) subject any Lender Party to any taxes, levies, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings of any nature with respect to its commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit and other commitments of such type or the issuance or maintenance of participations in Letters or Credit (or similar contingent obligations) or any part thereof imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof (other than taxation on overall net income and, to the extent such taxes are described in Section 3.6, withholding taxes); or

(b) change the basis of taxation to any Lender Party (other than a change in taxation on the overall net income of such Lender Party) of payments of principal or interest or any other payment due or to become due pursuant to this Agreement; or

(c) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, liquidity or capital adequacy requirements (other than the reserve costs described in Section 3.7) or other banking or monetary controls or requirements which affect the manner in which a Lender Party shall allocate its capital resources to its obligations hereunder or require the making of any special deposits against or in respect of any assets or liabilities of, deposits with or for the account of, or loans by, any Lender Party (provided that such Lender Party shall, unless prohibited by law, allocate its capital resources to its obligations hereunder in a manner which is consistent with its present treatment of the allocation of its capital resources); or

(d) impose on any Lender Party any other condition affecting its commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder,

and the result of any of the foregoing is either (i) to increase the cost to such Lender Party of making Advances or of issuing or participating in Letters of Credit or maintaining its Commitment or any part thereof, (ii) to reduce the amount of any payment received by such Lender Party or its effective return hereunder or on its capital or (iii) to cause such Lender Party to make any payment or to forego any return based on any amount received or receivable by such Lender Party hereunder, then and in any such case if such increase or reduction in the opinion of such Lender Party materially affects the interests of such Lender Party, (A) the Lender Party concerned shall (through the Administrative Agent) notify the Borrower of the occurrence of such event and use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the effects of such law, regulation or regulatory requirement or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party and (B) the Borrower shall forthwith upon demand pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party such amount as is necessary to compensate such Lender Party for such additional cost or such reduction and ancillary expenses, including taxes, incurred as a result of such adjustment. Such notice shall (i) describe in reasonable detail the event leading to such additional cost, together with the approximate date of the effectiveness thereof, (ii) set forth the amount of such additional cost , (iii) describe the manner in which such amount has been calculated, (iv) certify that the method used to calculate such amount is the Lender Party’s standard method of calculating such amount, (v) certify that such request is consistent with its treatment of other borrowers that are subject to similar provisions, and (vi) certify that, to the best of its knowledge, such change in circumstance is of general application to the commercial banking industry in such Lender Party’s jurisdiction of organization or in the relevant jurisdiction in which such Lender Party does business. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender Party’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender Party pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than three months prior to the date that such Lender Party notifies the Borrower of the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the three-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof, but not more than six months prior to the date that such Lender Party notifies the Borrower of the circumstance giving rise to such cost or reductions and of such Lender Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

SECTION 3.4. Funding Losses. In the event any Lender shall incur any loss or expense (other than loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to make, continue or maintain any portion of the principal amount of any Advance as a LIBO Rate Advance as a result of:

(a) any conversion or repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any LIBO Rate Advances on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, whether pursuant to Section 3.1 or otherwise; or

(b) any LIBO Rate Advances not being made in accordance with the Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing therefor due to the fault of the Borrower or as a result of any of the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV not being satisfied,

then, upon the written notice of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall, within five Business Days of its receipt thereof, pay directly to such Lender such

amount as will reimburse such Lender for such loss or expense. Such written notice shall include calculations in reasonable detail setting forth the loss or expense to such Lender.

SECTION 3.5. Increased Capital Costs. If any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase-in of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law and for the avoidance of doubt, including any changes resulting from (i) requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy or liquidity issued in connection with the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and in each case for both clauses (i) and (ii), regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued) of any court, central bank, regulator or other governmental authority increases the amount of capital required to be maintained by any Lender Party or any Person controlling such Lender Party, and the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its Commitments or the Advances made by such Lender Party is reduced to a level below that which such Lender Party or such controlling Person would have achieved but for the occurrence of any such change in circumstance, then, in any such case upon notice from time to time by such Lender Party to the Borrower, the Borrower shall immediately pay directly to such Lender Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return. Any such notice shall (i) describe in reasonable detail the capital adequacy or liquidity requirements which have been imposed, together with the approximate date of the effectiveness thereof, (ii) set forth the amount of such lowered return, (iii) describe the manner in which such amount has been calculated, (iv) certify that the method used to calculate such amount is such Lender Party’s standard method of calculating such amount, (v) certify that such request for such additional amounts is consistent with its treatment of other borrowers that are subject to similar provisions and (vi) certify that, to the best of its knowledge, such change in circumstances is of general application to the commercial banking industry in the jurisdictions in which such Lender Party does business. In determining such amount, such Lender Party may use any method of averaging and attribution that it shall, subject to the foregoing sentence, deem applicable. Each Lender Party agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid such reduction in such rate of return and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender Party’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender Party pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than three months prior to the date that such Lender Party notifies the Borrower of the circumstance giving rise to such reductions and of such Lender Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the circumstance giving rise to such reductions is retroactive, then the three-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof, but not more than six months prior to the date that such Lender Party notifies the Borrower of the circumstance giving rise to such reductions and of such Lender Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

SECTION 3.6. Taxes. All payments by the Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the Advances and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding, with respect to each Lender Party, taxes imposed on or measured by such Lender Party’s net income or receipts and franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes or taxes on receipts, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender Party is organized or any political subdivision thereof or the jurisdiction of such Lender Party’s Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof or any other

jurisdiction unless such net income taxes are imposed solely as a result of the Borrower’s activities in such other jurisdiction, and any taxes imposed under FATCA (such non-excluded items being called “Taxes”). In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Borrower will:

(a) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

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

(c) pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender Parties such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender Party will equal the full amount such Lender Party would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party with respect to any payment received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party hereunder, the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party may pay such Taxes and the Borrower will promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such Person after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such Person would have received had no such Taxes been asserted.

Any Lender Party claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party.

If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lender Parties, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lender Parties for any incremental withholding Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any Lender Party as a result of any such failure (so long as such amount did not become payable as a result of the failure of such Lender Party to provide timely notice to the Borrower of the assertion of a liability related to the payment of Taxes). For purposes of this Section 3.6, a distribution hereunder by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party to or for the account of any Lender Party shall be deemed a payment by the Borrower.

If any Lender Party is entitled to any refund, credit, deduction or other reduction in tax by reason of any payment made by the Borrower in respect of any tax under this Section 3.6 or by reason of any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.3, such Lender Party shall use reasonable efforts to obtain such refund, credit, deduction or other reduction and, promptly after receipt thereof, will pay to the Borrower such amount (plus any interest received by such Lender Party in connection with such refund, credit, deduction or reduction) as is equal to the net after-tax value to such Lender Party of such part of such refund, credit, deduction or reduction as such Lender Party reasonably determines is allocable to such tax or such payment (less out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Lender Party), provided that no Lender Party shall be obligated to disclose to the Borrower any information regarding its tax affairs or tax computations.

Each Lender Party (and each Participant) agrees with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it will (i) in the case of a Lender Party or a Participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States (a) provide to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower an appropriately executed copy of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI certifying that any payments made to or for the benefit of such Lender Party or such Participant are effectively connected with a trade or business in the United States (or, alternatively, an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming the benefits of a tax treaty, but only if the applicable treaty described in such form provides for a complete exemption from U.S. federal income tax withholding), or any successor form, on or prior to the date hereof (or, in the case of any assignee as provided for in Section 11.11.1 or Participant, on or prior to the date of the relevant assignment or participation) in each case attached to an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, if appropriate, (b) notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower if the certifications made on any form provided pursuant to this paragraph are no longer accurate and true in all material respects and (c) provide such other tax forms or other documents as shall be prescribed by applicable law, if any, or as otherwise reasonably requested, to demonstrate, to the extent applicable, that payments to such Lender Party (or Participant) hereunder are exempt from withholding under FATCA, and (ii) in all cases, provide such forms, certificates or other documents, as and when reasonably requested by the Borrower, necessary to claim any applicable exemption from, or reduction of, Taxes or any payments made to or for benefit of such Lender Party or such Participant, provided that the Lender Party or Participant is legally able to deliver such forms, certificates or other documents. For any period with respect to which a Lender Party (or Participant) has failed to provide the Borrower with the foregoing forms (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring after the date on which a form originally was required to be provided (which, in the case of an assignee as provided for in Section 11.11.1, would be the date on which the original assignor was required to provide such form) or if such form otherwise is not required hereunder) such Lender Party (or Participant) shall not be entitled to the benefits of this Section 3.6 with respect to Taxes imposed by reason of such failure.

SECTION 3.7. Reserve Costs. Without in any way limiting the Borrower’s obligations under Section 3.3, the Borrower shall pay to each Lender on the last day of each Interest Period of each LIBO Rate Advance, so long as the relevant Lending Office of such Lender is required to maintain reserves against “Eurocurrency liabilities” under Regulation D of the F.R.S. Board, upon notice from such Lender, an additional amount equal to the product of the following for each LIBO Rate Advance for each day during such Interest Period:

(i) the principal amount of such LIBO Rate Advance outstanding on such day; and

(ii) the remainder of (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the rate (expressed as a decimal) at which interest accrues on such LIBO Rate Advance for such Interest Period as provided in this Agreement (less the Applicable Margin applicable to LIBO Rate Advances and the Applicable Percentage) and the denominator of which is one minus any increase after the Effective Date in the effective rate (expressed as a decimal) at which such reserve requirements are imposed on such Lender minus (y) such numerator; and

(iii) 1/360.

Such notice shall (i) describe in reasonable detail the reserve requirement that has been imposed, together with the approximate date of the effectiveness thereof, (ii) set forth the applicable reserve percentage, (iii) certify that such request is consistent with such Lender’s treatment of other borrowers that are subject to similar provisions and (iv) certify that, to the best of its knowledge, such requirements are of general application in the commercial banking industry in the United States.

Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to avoid the requirement of maintaining such reserves (including by designating a different Lending Office) if such efforts would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

SECTION 3.8. Replacement Lenders, etc. If the Borrower shall be required to make any payment to any Lender pursuant to Section 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 or 3.7, the Borrower shall be entitled at any time (so long as no Default and no Prepayment Event shall have occurred and be continuing) within 180 days after receipt of notice from such Lender Party of such required payment to (a) terminate such Lender Party’s Revolving Credit Commitment (whereupon the Ratable Shares of each other Lender Party shall automatically be adjusted to an amount equal to each such Lender Party’s ratable share of the remaining Revolving Credit Commitments), and such Lender Party’s right to receive any facility fee accruing after such termination, (b) prepay the affected portion of such Lender Party’s Advances in full, together with accrued interest thereon through the date of such prepayment (provided that the Borrower shall not prepay any such Lender Party pursuant to this clause (b) without replacing such Lender Party pursuant to the following clause (c) until a 30-day period shall have elapsed during which the Borrower and the Agents shall have attempted in good faith to replace such Lender Party), and/or (c) replace such Lender Party with another financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Bank and each Issuing Bank, provided that (i) each such assignment shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender Party under this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments that together cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender Party under this Agreement and (ii) no Lender Party shall be obligated to make any such assignment as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to this Section unless and until such Lender Party shall have received one or more payments from either the Borrower or one or more assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances owing to such Lender Party, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all other amounts payable to such Lender Party under this Agreement. Each Lender Party represents and warrants to the Borrower that, as of the date of this Agreement (or, with respect to any Lender Party not a party hereto on the date hereof, on the date that such Lender Party becomes a party hereto), there is no existing treaty, law, regulation, regulatory requirement, interpretation, directive, guideline, decision or request pursuant to which such Lender Party would be entitled to request any payments under any of Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7 to or for account of such Lender Party.

SECTION 3.9. Setoff. Upon the occurrence and during continuance of an Event of Default or Prepayment Event, each Lender Party shall have, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations then due and owing to it any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Borrower then or thereafter maintained with such Lender Party; provided that any such appropriation and application shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.12; provided, further, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender exercises any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.15(e) and, pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swing Line Bank and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender will provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender Party agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender Party; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff under applicable law or otherwise) which such Lender Party may have.

SECTION 3.10. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower shall apply the proceeds of each Borrowing in accordance with the third recital; without limiting the foregoing, no proceeds of any Advance will be used to acquire any equity security of a class which is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any “margin stock”, as defined in F.R.S. Board Regulation U.

ARTICLE IV

The Borrower shall default in the due performance and observance of any other agreement contained herein or in any other Loan Document (other than the covenants set forth in Section 6.2.4 and the obligations referred to in Section 7.1.1) and such default shall continue unremedied for a period of five days after notice thereof shall have been given to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party (or, if (a) such default is capable of being remedied within 30 days (commencing on the first day following such five-day period) and (b) the Borrower is actively seeking to remedy the same during such period, such default shall continue unremedied for at least 35 days after such notice to the Borrower).

THE AGENTS

SECTION 10.1. Actions. Each of the Lender Parties hereby irrevocably appoints Nordea to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

SECTION 10.2. Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender Party and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender Party” or “Lender

Parties” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lender Parties.

SECTION 10.3. Lender Indemnification. (a) Each Lender hereby severally indemnifies (which indemnity shall survive any termination of this Agreement) the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Lender’s Ratable Share of any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that be incurred by or asserted or awarded against, the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Notes and any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses which have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any such indemnified costs, this Section applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or a third party.

(b) Each Lender hereby severally indemnifies the Issuing Banks (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Lender’s Ratable Share of any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any such Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Issuing Bank hereunder or in connection herewith; provided, however, that no Lender (in such capacity) shall be liable for any portion of such claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses resulting from such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(c) The failure of any Lender to reimburse the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank promptly upon demand for its Ratable Share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank for its Ratable Share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank for such other Lender’s Ratable Share of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender contained in this Section 10.3 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank agrees to promptly return to the Lenders their respective Ratable Shares of any amounts paid under this Section 10.3 that are subsequently reimbursed by the Borrower.

SECTION 10.4. Exculpation. (a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default or Prepayment Event has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any debtor relief law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any debtor relief law; and

(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.1 and 7.3), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default or Prepayment Event unless and until notice describing such Event of Default or Prepayment Event is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Borrower, a Lender Party or an Issuing Bank.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 10.5. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and reasonably believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Advance, or the Issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the Issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative

Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. Nothing in this Section 10.5 shall limit the exclusion for gross negligence or willful misconduct referred to in Section 10.3.

SECTION 10.6. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facility as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents, provided, however, that the foregoing release of the Administrative Agent shall not apply with respect to negligence or misconduct of any Affiliates, directors, officers or employees of the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 10.7. Resignation of Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lender Parties and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a commercial banking institution having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 (or the equivalent in other currencies). If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders with the consent of the Borrower and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lender Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, subject to the consent of such proposed successor Administrative Agent to such appointment. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if at any time the Required Lenders determine that the Person serving as Administrative Agent is (without taking into account any provision in the definition of “Defaulting Lender” requiring notice from the Administrative Agent or any other party) a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to Section 11.1) may by notice to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, with the consent of the Borrower, appoint a replacement Administrative Agent hereunder. Such removal will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be effective on the earlier of (i) the date a replacement Administrative Agent is appointed and (ii) the date 30 days after the giving of such notice by the Required Lenders (regardless of whether a replacement Administrative Agent has been appointed).

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender Party directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed

Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Sections 11.3 and 11.4 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 10.8. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 10.9. No Other Duties. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers or Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender, a Swing Line Bank or an Issuing Bank hereunder.

SECTION 10.10. Copies, etc. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to each Lender Party of each notice or request required or permitted to be given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (unless concurrently delivered to the Lender Parties by the Borrower). The Administrative Agent will distribute to each Lender Party each document or instrument received for its account and copies of all other communications received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower for distribution to the Lender Parties by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.11. Agency Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account an annual agency fee in an amount, and at such times, heretofore agreed to in writing between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 10.12. Lender ERISA Matters. Each Lender represents and warrants as of the date hereof to the Administrative Agent and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, for the benefit of the Borrower, that such Lender is not and will not be (i) an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) a plan or account subject to Section 4975 of the Code; (iii) an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” of any such plans or accounts for purposes of ERISA or the Code that is using “plan assets” of any such plans or accounts to fund or hold Loans or perform its obligations under this Agreement; or (iv) a “governmental plan” within the meaning of ERISA.

(b) So long as Nordea is the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it furnishes to the Administrative Agent hereunder or any other Loan Document (and any guaranties, security agreements and other agreements relating thereto), including, without limitation, all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing Borrowing or other extension of credit (including any election of an interest rate or interest period relating thereto), (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due hereunder or any other Loan Document prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii) provides notice of any Default, Event of Default or Prepayment Event or (iv) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Agreement and/or any Borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent to ▇▇▇▇-▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇; provided that any Communication requested pursuant to Section 6.1.1(g) shall be in a format acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

Although the primary web portal is secured with a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization System and the Platform is secured through a single user per deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, the Borrower acknowledges that (i) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and (iii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Communications or the Platform.

(2) The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of such

Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes hereunder and any other Loan Document (and any guaranties, security agreements and other agreements relating thereto).

(c) Each Lender Party agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a “Notice”) specifying that any Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such Communications to such Lender Party for purposes of this Agreement. Each Lender Party agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) of such Lender Party’s e-mail address to which a Notice may be sent by electronic transmission on or before the date such Lender Party becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender Party) and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

(d) Patriot Act. Each Lender Party hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub.

SECTION 11.3. Payment of Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent (including the reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of one counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties; it being understood that the foregoing shall be limited to the reasonable fees and expenses of Shearman & Sterling LLP) in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of, and any amendments, waivers, consents, supplements or other modifications to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Borrower further agrees to pay, and to save the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties harmless from all liability for, any stamp, recording, documentary or other similar taxes which may be payable in connection with the execution or delivery of this Agreement, the borrowings hereunder, or the issuance of the Notes or any other Loan Documents. The Borrower also agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party upon demand for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party in connection with (x) the negotiation of any restructuring or “work-out”, whether or not consummated, of any Obligations and (y) the enforcement of any Obligations.

SECTION 11.4. Indemnification. In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by each Lender Party and the extension of the Commitments, the Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Administrative Agent, each Lender Party and each of their respective Affiliates and their respective officers, advisors, directors, employees, partners and controlling persons (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel), joint or several, that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or the preparation of a defense in connection therewith), in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or the material breach by such Indemnified Party of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, any of its directors, security holders or creditors, an

Indemnified Party or any other person or an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto. Each Indemnified Party shall (a) furnish the Borrower with prompt notice of any action, suit or other claim covered by this Section 11.4, (b) not agree to any settlement or compromise of any such action, suit or claim without the Borrower’s prior consent, (c) shall cooperate fully in the Borrower’s defense of any such action, suit or other claim (provided, that the Borrower shall reimburse such Indemnified Party for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred pursuant hereto) and (d) at the Borrower’s request, permit the Borrower to assume control of the defense of any such claim, other than regulatory, supervisory or similar investigations, provided that (i) the Borrower acknowledges in writing its obligations to indemnify the Indemnified Party in accordance with the terms herein in connection with such claims, (ii) the Borrower shall keep the Indemnified Party fully informed with respect to the conduct of the defense of such claim, (iii) the Borrower shall consult in good faith with the Indemnified Party (from time to time and before taking any material decision) about the conduct of the defense of such claim, (iv) the Borrower shall conduct the defense of such claim properly and diligently taking into account its own interests and those of the Indemnified Party, (v) the Borrower shall employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party and at the Borrower’s expense, and (vi) the Borrower shall not enter into a settlement with respect to such claim unless either (A) such settlement involves only the payment of a monetary sum, does not include any performance by or an admission of liability or responsibility on the part of the Indemnified Party, and contains a provision unconditionally releasing the Indemnified Party and each other indemnified party from, and holding all such Persons harmless, against, all liability in respect of claims by any releasing party or (B) the Indemnified Party provides written consent to such settlement (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding the Borrower’s election to assume the defense of such action, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such action and the Borrower shall bear the fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (1) the use of counsel chosen by the Borrower to represent the Indemnified Party would present such counsel with an actual or potential conflict of interest, (2) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the Borrower and the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Borrower and determined that it is necessary to employ separate counsel in order to pursue such defenses (in which case the Borrower shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on the Indemnified Party’s behalf), (3) the Borrower shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action, or (4) the Borrower authorizes the Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at the Borrower’s expense. The Borrower acknowledges that none of the Indemnified Parties shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to the Borrower or any of its security holders or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent such liability is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or the material breach by such Indemnified Party of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. In no event, however, shall any Indemnified Party be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

SECTION 11.5. Survival. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 11.3 and 11.4, and the obligations of the Lender Parties under Section 10.3, shall in each case survive any termination of this Agreement, the payment in full of all Obligations and the termination of all Commitments. The representations and warranties made by the Borrower in this Agreement and in each other Loan Document shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each such other Loan Document.

SECTION 11.6. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such provision and such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or such Loan Document or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 11.7. Headings. The various headings of this Agreement and of each other Loan Document are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or such other Loan Document or any provisions hereof or thereof.

SECTION 11.9. Governing Law; Entire Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL EACH BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER, AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION .

(a) Minimum Amounts.

(i) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender Party’s Commitments and/or the Advances at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender Party or an Affiliate of a Lender Party, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(ii) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of the Commitments if such assignment is to a Person that is not (i) a Lender Party with, prior to the effectiveness of the assignment, a Commitment in respect of Revolving Credit Commitments, the Letter of Credit Facility or the Swing Line Facility or (ii) an Affiliate of such Lender Party, unless such assignment is to any Federal Reserve Bank or, with the Borrower’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to any central governmental authority as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the F.R.S. Board and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; and

(iii) the consent of each Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Bank (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of Revolving Credit Commitments unless such assignment is to an Affiliate of a Lender Party or any Federal Reserve Bank or, with the Borrower’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to any central governmental authority as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the F.R.S.

Federal Reserve Bank or, with the Borrower’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to any central governmental authority as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the F.R.S. Board and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank. The assignee, if it is not a Lender Party, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(e) Acceptable Lender. Except for assignments to any Federal Reserve Bank or, with the Borrower’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to any central governmental authority as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the F.R.S. Board and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, no assignment shall be made to any Person that is not an Acceptable Lender.

(f) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (f).

(g) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person.

(h) Certain Pledges. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender Party may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender Party, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or, with the Borrower’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to any central governmental authority; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender Party from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender Party as a party hereto.

(i) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable Ratable Share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Bank and each other Lender Party hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Ratable Share of all Advances and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Advances in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.11.3, from and after the effective date specified in each Lender Assignment Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Lender Assignment Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender Party under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender Party thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Lender Assignment Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of a Lender Assignment Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender Party’s rights and obligations under

this Agreement, such Lender Party shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.7, 3.9, 10.2, 11.3, 11.4 and 11.16 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender Party’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender Party of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender Party of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.11.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Borrower be required to pay to any assignee any amount under Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7 that is greater than the amount which it would have been required to pay at the time of the relevant assignment had no such assignment been made.

SECTION 11.11.2. Participations. Any Lender Party may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other financial institutions (each of such commercial banks and other financial institutions being herein called a “Participant”) participating interests in any of its Advances, its Commitment, or other interests of such Lender Party hereunder without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or Swing Line Bank; provided that:

(a) no participation contemplated in this Section 11.11.2 shall relieve such Lender Party from its Commitment(s) or its other obligations hereunder;

(b) such Lender Party shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its Commitment(s) and such other obligations;

(c) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender Party in connection with such Lender Party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents;

(d) no Participant, unless such Participant is an Affiliate of such Lender Party, shall be entitled to require such Lender Party to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document, except that such Lender Party may agree with any Participant that such Lender Party will not, without such Participant’s consent, take any actions of the type described in clause (c) or (d) of Section 11.1;

(e) the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount under Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7 that is greater than the amount which it would have been required to pay had no participating interest been sold; and

(f) each Lender Party that sells a participation under this Section 11.11.2 shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest on) each of the Participant’s interest in the Lender Party’s Advances, Commitments or other interests hereunder (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes hereunder.

The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each Participant, for purposes of Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and clause (g) of 6.1.1, shall be considered a Lender Party.

SECTION 11.11.3. Register. The Administrative Agent, acting as agent for the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.2 a copy of each Added Lender

Agreement and each Lender Assignment Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lender Parties and the Commitment(s) of, and principal amount of the Advances owing to, each Lender Party from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender Party hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender Party at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

SECTION 11.12. Other Transactions. Nothing contained herein shall preclude the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party from engaging in any transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with the Borrower or any of its Affiliates in which the Borrower or such Affiliate is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person.

SECTION 11.13. Forum Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction. (a) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT.

TO THE EXTENT THAT THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OF FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND SUCH LENDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

(b) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (a) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN

INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

If at any time the Borrower ceases to have a place of business in the United States, the Borrower shall appoint an agent for service of process (reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) located in New York City and shall furnish to the Administrative Agent evidence that such agent shall have accepted such appointment for a period of time ending no earlier than one year after the latest Termination Date then in effect.

SECTION 11.15. Judgment. (a) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase Dollars with such other currency at Nordea’s principal office in New York at 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(b) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in a Committed Currency into Dollars, the parties agree to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase such Committed Currency with Dollars at Nordea’s principal office in New York at 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(c) The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any sum due from it in any currency (the “Primary Currency”) to any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any other currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be), of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the applicable Primary Currency with such other currency; if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased is less than such sum due to such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased exceeds such sum due to any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to the Borrower such excess.

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or actual or prospective counterparty to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower; (g) with the consent of the Borrower; or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or (y) becomes available to any Lender Party or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.

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

The Administrative Agent agrees (i) to keep confidential the rates to be used in the calculation of the LIBO Rate supplied by each Reference Lender pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement and (ii) that it has developed procedures to ensure that such rates are not submitted by the Reference Lenders to, or shared with, any individual who is formally designated as being involved in the ICE LIBOR submission process; provided that such rates may be shared with the Borrower and any of its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors or those of any of its affiliates that have a commercially reasonable business need to know such rates, subject to an agreement by the recipient thereof to comply with the provisions of this paragraph as if it were the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 11.19. No Fiduciary Relationship. The Borrower acknowledges that the Lender Parties have no fiduciary relationship with, or fiduciary duty to, the Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between each Lender Party and the Borrower is solely that of creditor and debtor. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents do not create a joint venture among the parties hereto. The Borrower acknowledges that the Arrangers and each Lender Party may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower, its stockholders and/or its Affiliates.

SECTION 11.20. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

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