Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Rate or SOFR, respectively (provided that clause (c) shall not be applicable during any period in which SOFR is unavailable or unascertainable).

Any change in the Borrower’s Credit Rating which would cause it to move to a different Level in such table shall effect a change in the Applicable Margin on the Business Day on which such change occurs. During any period for which the Borrower has received a Credit Rating from only one Rating Agency, then the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on such Credit Rating so long as such Credit Rating is from either S&P or Moody’s. During any period that the Borrower has

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

received two or three Credit Ratings and such ratings are not equivalent, the Applicable Margin shall be determined by the highest of such two or three Credit Ratings, so long as the highest Credit Rating is from S&P or Moody’s, and provided, that if the level of the next highest Credit Rating from a Ratings Agency is more than one level lower than the highest Credit Rating then available, then the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the credit rating one level lower than the highest credit rating. During any period that the Borrower has received two or three Credit Ratings and such ratings are not equivalent, and the highest rating is from Fitch, the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the higher Credit Rating from S&P or Moody’s. During any period for which the Borrower has (a) not received a Credit Rating from any Rating Agency, or (b) received a Credit Rating from only one Rating Agency that is neither S&P nor Moody’s, or during any other period not otherwise covered by this definition, the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on Level 5. On and after the Second Amendment Effective Date, notwithstanding the Level that would otherwise be applicable in accordance with the foregoing and the table below, upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Borrower’s financial statements for any fiscal quarter or fiscal year, the Applicable Margin shall be based on Level 3 (unless Level 1 or Level 2 would then apply) rather than Level 4 for the fiscal quarter in which such financial statements were delivered so long as (i) the Corporate Leverage Ratio is not greater than 0.375 to 1.00 for the previous fiscal quarter, and (ii) the Borrower’s Credit Rating is not lower than Level 4 (unless the Borrower’s Credit Rating goes below Level 4 at any time during such quarter, in which case the Applicable Margin set forth in the table below shall apply, without regard to the Corporate Leverage Ratio); provided, however, that the Borrower shall be deemed to be in compliance with clause (i) of this sentence if (x) such Corporate Leverage Ratio is greater than 0.375 to 1.00 but is not greater than 0.425 to 1.00 and (y) the Borrower has not had the Applicable Margin determined in accordance with this sentence in reliance on this proviso for more than one (1) fiscal quarter (the “Alternate Pricing Mechanism”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has the Applicable Margin determined by the Alternate Pricing Mechanism but in a subsequent fiscal period, no longer meets the requirements to utilize the Alternate Pricing Mechanism, the Applicable Margin shall be based on the Applicable Margin set forth in the table below unless and until the Borrower meets the requirements to utilize the Alternate Pricing Mechanism in a future fiscal period. As of the Second Amendment Effective Date, the Applicable Margin, after taking into account the application of the Alternate Pricing Mechanism, is determined based on Level 3.


Level	Borrower’s Credit Rating (S&P/Moody’s or equivalent)	Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are SOFR Loans	Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans	Applicable Margin for Term Loans that are SOFR Loans	Applicable Margin for Term Loans that are Base Rate Loans

2	At least BBB+/Baal	0.775%	0.00%	0.925%	0.00%
3	At least BBB/Baa2	0.850%	0.00%	1.050%	0.05%
4	At least BBB-/Baa3	1.050%	0.05%	1.300%	0.30%
5	Lower than BBB-/Baa3	1.400%	0.40%	1.700%	0.70%

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

Article II.CREDIT FACILITY

Section 2.1.Revolving Loans.

(a)Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including without limitation, Section 2.16., during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Revolving Credit Termination Date, each Revolving Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding, the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Loans hereunder.

(b)Requesting Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice pursuant to a Notice of Revolving Borrowing or telephonic notice of each borrowing of Revolving Loans. Each Notice of Revolving Borrowing shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent before 11:00 a.m. (i) in the case of Term SOFR Loans, on the date three Business Days prior to the proposed date of such borrowing, (ii) in the case of Daily Simple SOFR Loans, on the date three Business Days prior to the proposed date of such borrowing, and (iii) in the case of Base Rate Loans, on the date one Business Day prior to the proposed date of such borrowing. Any such telephonic notice shall include all information to be specified in a written Notice of Revolving Borrowing and shall be promptly confirmed in writing by the Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Revolving Borrowing sent to the Administrative Agent by electronic transmission (including .pdf) on the same day of the giving of such telephonic notice. The Administrative Agent will transmit by electronic transmission (including .pdf) the information contained in such Notice of Revolving Borrowing to each Revolving Lender promptly upon receipt by the Administrative Agent. Each Notice of Revolving Borrowing or telephonic notice of each borrowing shall be irrevocable once given and binding on the Borrower. If no election is specified as to whether a SOFR Loan is to be a Term SOFR Loan or Daily Simple SOFR Loan, then the requested Loan shall be a Daily Simple SOFR Loan. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Term SOFR Loan, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(c)Disbursements of Revolving Loan Proceeds. No later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified in the Notice of Revolving Borrowing, each Revolving Lender will make available for the account of its applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds, the proceeds of the Revolving Loan to be made by such Revolving Lender. Subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article V. for such borrowing, the Administrative Agent will make the proceeds of such borrowing available to the Borrower no later than 2:00 p.m. on the date and at the account specified by the Borrower in such Notice of Revolving Borrowing. With respect to Revolving Loans to be made after the Effective Date, unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Revolving Lender prior to the specified date of borrowing that such Revolving Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent the Revolving Loan to be made by such Revolving Lender on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Revolving Lender will make the proceeds of such

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent on the date of the requested borrowing as set forth in the Notice of Revolving Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower the amount of such Revolving Loan to be provided by such Revolving Lender. In such event, if such Revolving Lender does not make available to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of such Revolving Loan, then such Revolving Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent on demand the amount of such Revolving Loan with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Revolving Loan is made available to the Borrower but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to such borrowing of Revolving Loans. If the Borrower and such Revolving Lender shall pay the amount of such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Revolving Lender pays to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Revolving Loan, the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Revolving Lender that shall have failed to make available the proceeds of a Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender.

Section 2.2.Term Loans.

(a)Effective Date Term Loan Borrowing. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Term Loan Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make a single loan in Dollars to the Borrower on the Effective Date in an amount equal to such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan Commitment Percentage of $125,000,000. The borrowing of Term Loans on the Effective Date shall consist of Term Loans made simultaneously by the Term Loan Lenders in accordance with their respective Term Loan Commitment Percentage of the Term Loan Facility. Upon the making of the Term Loans on the Effective Date, the aggregate Term Loan Commitments of the Term Loan Lenders shall be automatically reduced by the aggregate amount of such Term Loans. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.2.(a) and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

(b)[Reserved.]

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

Loans. If no election is specified as to whether a SOFR Loan is to be a Term SOFR Loan or Daily Simple SOFR Loan, then the requested Loan shall be a Daily Simple SOFR Loan. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Term SOFR Loan, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(ii)Each Notice of Term Loan Borrowing shall be irrevocable once given and binding on the Borrower. Prior to delivering a Notice of Term Loan Borrowing, the Borrower may (without specifying whether a Term Loan will be a Base Rate Loan or a SOFR Loan) request that the Administrative Agent provide the Borrower with the most recent Term SOFR Rate available to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall provide such quoted rate to the Borrower on the date of such request or as soon as possible thereafter.

(c)Bid Rate Quotes.

(i)Each Revolving Lender may submit one or more Bid Rate Quotes, each containing an offer to make a Bid Rate Loan in response to any Bid Rate Quote Request; provided that, if the Borrower’s request under Section 2.3.(b) specified more than one Interest Period, such Revolving Lender may make a single submission containing only one Bid Rate Quote for each such Interest Period. Each Bid Rate Quote must be submitted to the Administrative Agent not later than 8:30 a.m. (x) on the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction and (y) on the date three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a SOFR Auction, and in either case the Administrative Agent shall disregard any Bid Rate Quote received after such time; provided that the Revolving Lender then acting as the Administrative Agent may submit a Bid Rate Quote only if it notifies the Borrower of the terms of the offer contained therein not later than 30 minutes prior to the latest time by which the Revolving Lenders must submit applicable Bid Rate Quotes. Any Bid Rate Quote so made shall be irrevocable except with the consent of the Administrative Agent given at the request of the Borrower.

(E)the identity of the quoting Revolving Lender.

Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, no Bid Rate Quote shall contain qualifying, conditional or similar language or propose terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Bid Rate Quote Request and, in particular, no Bid Rate Quote may be conditioned upon acceptance by the Borrower of all (or some specified minimum) of the principal amount of the Bid Rate Loan for which such Bid Rate Quote is being made.

Any such subsequent Bid Rate Quote shall be disregarded by the Administrative Agent unless such subsequent Bid Rate Quote is submitted solely to correct a manifest error in such former Bid Rate Quote. The Administrative Agent’s notice to the Borrower shall specify (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Bid Rate Borrowing for which offers have been received and (B) the principal amounts and Absolute Rates or SOFR Margins, as applicable, so offered by each Revolving Lender (identifying the Revolving Lender that made such Bid Rate Quote).

proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a SOFR Auction, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of its acceptance or nonacceptance of the Bid Rate Quotes so notified to it pursuant to Section 2.3.(d). which notice shall be in the form of Exhibit P. In the case of acceptance, such notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Bid Rate Quotes for each Interest Period that are accepted. The failure of the Borrower to give such notice by such time shall constitute nonacceptance. The Borrower may accept any Bid Rate Quote in whole or in part; provided that:

(B)the aggregate principal amount of each Bid Rate Borrowing shall comply with the provisions of Section 2.3.(b)(ii) and together with all other Bid Rate Loans then outstanding shall not cause the limits specified in Section 2.16. to be violated;

(ii)If Bid Rate Quotes are made by two or more Revolving Lenders with the same Absolute Rates or SOFR Margins, as applicable, for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which Bid Rate Quotes are permitted to be accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of Bid Rate Loans in respect of which such Bid Rate Quotes are accepted shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such Revolving Lenders in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of such Bid Rate Quotes. Determinations by the Administrative Agent of the amounts of Bid Rate Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

The Administrative Agent shall promptly (and in any event not later than (x) 11:30 a.m. on the proposed date of borrowing of Absolute Rate Loans and (y) on the date three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing of SOFR Margin Loans) notify each Revolving Lender as to whose Bid Rate Quote has been accepted and the amount and rate thereof. A Revolving Lender who is notified that it has been selected to make a Bid Rate Loan may designate its Designated Lender (if any) to fund such Bid Rate Loan on its behalf, as described in Section 12.5.(h). Any Designated Lender which funds a Bid Rate Loan shall on and after the time of such funding become the obligee in respect of such Bid Rate Loan and be entitled to receive payment thereof when due. No Revolving Lender shall be relieved of its obligation to fund a Bid Rate Loan, and no Designated Lender shall assume such obligation, prior to the time the applicable Bid Rate Loan is funded. Any Revolving Lender whose

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

(g)No Effect on Revolving Commitment. Except for the purpose and to the extent expressly stated in Section 2.13. and 2.16., the amount of any Bid Rate Loan made by any Revolving Lender shall not constitute a utilization of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment.

Section 2.4.Swingline Loans.

(a)Swingline Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding, the amount of the Swingline Commitment. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans outstanding at such time exceeds the Swingline Commitment in effect at such time, the Borrower shall immediately pay the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender the amount of such excess. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans hereunder.

(b)Procedure for Borrowing Swingline Loans. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender notice pursuant to a Notice of Swingline Borrowing or telephonic notice of each borrowing of a Swingline Loan. Each Notice of Swingline Borrowing shall be delivered to the Swingline Lender no later than 3:00 p.m. on the proposed date of such borrowing. Any such notice given telephonically shall include all information to be specified in a written Notice of Swingline Borrowing and shall be promptly confirmed in writing by the Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Swingline Borrowing sent to the Swingline Lender by telecopy on the same day of the giving of such telephonic notice. On the date of the requested Swingline Loan and subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article V. for such borrowing, the Swingline Lender will make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the Borrower in Dollars, in immediately available funds, at the account specified by the Borrower in the Notice of Swingline Borrowing not later than 4:00 p.m. on such date.

(c)Interest. Swingline Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are SOFR Loans.

All accrued and unpaid interest on Swingline Loans shall be payable on the dates and in the manner provided in Section 2.6. with respect to interest on Loans that are Base Rate Loans (except as the Swingline Lender and the Borrower may otherwise agree in writing in connection with any particular Swingline Loan).

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

(d)Swingline Loan Amounts, Etc. Each Swingline Loan shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 or such other minimum amounts agreed to by the Swingline Lender and the Borrower. Any voluntary prepayment of a Swingline Loan must be in integral multiples of $100,000 or the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans (or such other minimum amounts upon which the Swingline Lender and the Borrower may agree) and in connection with any such prepayment, the Borrower must give the Swingline Lender prior written notice thereof no later than 10:00 a.m. on the date of such prepayment. The Swingline Loans shall, in addition to this Agreement, be evidenced by the Swingline Note.

(e)Repayment and Participations of Swingline Loans. The Borrower agrees to repay each Swingline Loan within one Business Day of demand therefor by the Swingline Lender and in any event, within 5 Business Days after the date such Swingline Loan was made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Swingline Loans on the Revolving Credit Termination Date (or such earlier date as the Swingline Lender and the Borrower may agree in writing). In lieu of demanding repayment of any outstanding Swingline Loan from the Borrower and if the Borrower has not already submitted a timely Notice of Revolving Borrowing for the purpose of repaying such Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf for such purpose), request a borrowing of Base Rate Loans from the Revolving Lenders in an amount equal to the principal balance of such Swingline Loan. The amount limitations of Section 3.5.(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of Base Rate Loans made pursuant to this subsection. The Swingline Lender shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of any such borrowing of Base Rate Loans not later than 12:00 noon on the proposed date of such borrowing, and the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice of such borrowing to the Revolving Lenders. No later than 2:00 p.m. on such date, each Revolving Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office for the account of Swingline Lender in immediately available funds, the proceeds of the Base Rate Loan to be made by such Revolving Lender, and, to the extent of such Base Rate Loan, such Revolving Lender’s participation in the Swingline Loan so repaid shall be deemed to be funded by the Base Rate Loan. The Administrative Agent shall pay the proceeds of such Base Rate Loans to the Swingline Lender, which shall apply such proceeds to repay such Swingline Loan. At the time each Swingline Loan is made, each Revolving Lender shall automatically (and without any further notice or action) be deemed to have purchased from the Swingline Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage in such Swingline Loan. If the Revolving Lenders are prohibited from making Loans required to be made under this subsection for any reason, including without limitation, the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default described in Section 10.1.(f) or 10.1.(g), upon notice from the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender in respect of such participation the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of each outstanding Swingline Loan. If such amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by any Revolving Lender, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender, together with accrued interest thereon for each day from the date of demand thereof, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Revolving Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon demand therefor by the

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, and until such time as such Revolving Lender makes the required payment, the Swingline Lender shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding Swingline Loans in the amount of such unpaid participation obligation for all purposes of the Loan Documents (other than those provisions requiring the other Revolving Lenders to purchase a participation therein). Further, such Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Revolving Loans, and any other amounts due to it hereunder, to the Swingline Lender to fund Swingline Loans in the amount of the participation in Swingline Loans that such Revolving Lender failed to purchase pursuant to this Section until such amount has been purchased (as a result of such assignment or otherwise). A Revolving Lender’s obligation to make payments in respect of a participation in a Swingline Loan shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, (i) any claim of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender or any other Person may have or claim against the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or any other Person whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default (including, without limitation, any of the Defaults or Events of Default described in Sections 10.1.(f) or 10.1.(g)) or the termination of any Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (iii) the existence (or alleged existence) of an event or condition which has had or could have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) any breach of any Loan Document by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

Section 2.5.Letters of Credit.

(a)Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Revolving Lenders, agrees to issue for the account of a Subsidiary during the period from and including the Effective Date to, but excluding, the date 30 days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date one or more letters of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) up to a maximum aggregate Stated Amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the L/C Commitment Amount. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date, shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof and the issuer of each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be an L/C Issuer hereunder for purposes of such Existing Letter of Credit.

(b)Terms of Letters of Credit. At the time of issuance, the amount, form, terms and conditions of each Letter of Credit, and of any drafts or acceptances thereunder, shall be subject to approval by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the expiration date of any Letter of Credit extend beyond the earlier of (i) the date one year from its date of issuance or (ii) the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, however, a Letter of Credit may contain a provision providing for the automatic extension of the expiration date in the absence of a notice of non-renewal from the Administrative Agent but in no event shall any such provision permit the extension of the expiration date of such Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided further, that a Letter of Credit may, as a result of its express terms or as the result of the effect of an automatic extension provision, have an expiration of not more than one year beyond the Revolving Credit Termination Date (any such Letter of Credit being referred to as an “Extended Letter of Credit”) so long as (x) the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent no later than 30 days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit for deposit into the Collateral Account in an amount equal to the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit and (y) the aggregate Stated Amount of all such Letters of Credit having an expiration of not more than one year beyond the Revolving Credit Termination Date at any one time outstanding does not exceed $25,000,000. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.5. in respect of such Extended Letters of Credit shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in effect until no such Extended Letters of Credit remain outstanding. If the Borrower fails to provide Cash Collateral with respect to any Extended Letter of Credit by the date 30 days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, such failure shall be treated as a drawing by the Subsidiary under such Extended Letter of Credit (in an amount equal to the maximum Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit), which shall be reimbursed (or participations therein funded) by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with the immediately following subsections (i) and (j), with the proceeds being utilized to provide Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit.

(c)Requests for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) at least 5 Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance of a Letter of Credit, such notice to describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Letter of Credit and the nature of the transactions or obligations proposed to be supported by such Letter of Credit, and in any event shall set forth with respect to such Letter of Credit the proposed (i) Stated Amount, (ii) the beneficiary, (iii) the expiration date and (iv) the full legal name of the Subsidiary in whose name the Letter of Credit is to be issued. The Borrower shall also cause the Subsidiary to execute and deliver such customary letter of credit application forms as requested from time to time by the Administrative Agent. Provided the Borrower has given the notice prescribed by the first sentence of this subsection and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the satisfaction of any applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article V., the Administrative Agent shall issue the requested Letter of Credit on the requested date of issuance for the benefit of the stipulated beneficiary. Upon the written request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower a copy of each issued Letter of Credit within a reasonable time after the date of issuance thereof. To the extent any term of a Letter of Credit Document is inconsistent with a term of any Loan Document, the term of such Loan Document shall control.

(d)Reimbursement Obligations. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent from the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of any demand for payment under such Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of the amount to be paid by the Administrative Agent as a result of such demand and the date on which payment is to be made by the Administrative Agent to such beneficiary in respect of such demand; provided, however, the Administrative Agent’s failure to give, or delay in giving, such notice shall not discharge the Borrower in any respect from the applicable Reimbursement Obligation. The Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to pay and reimburse the Administrative Agent for the amount of each demand for payment under such Letter of Credit on or prior to the date on which payment is to be made by the Administrative Agent to the beneficiary thereunder, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind (other than notice as provided in this subsection). Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment in respect of any Reimbursement Obligation, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Revolving

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

Lender that has acquired a participation therein under the second sentence of Section 2.5. (i) such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such payment

(e)Manner of Reimbursement. Upon its receipt of a notice referred to in the immediately preceding subsection (d), the Borrower shall advise the Administrative Agent whether or not the Borrower intends to borrow hereunder to finance its obligation to reimburse the Administrative Agent for the amount of the related demand for payment and, if it does, the Borrower shall submit a timely request for such borrowing as provided in the applicable provisions of this Agreement. If the Borrower fails to so advise the Administrative Agent, or if the Borrower fails to reimburse the Administrative Agent for a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit by the date of such payment, then (i) if the applicable conditions contained in Article V. would permit the making of Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of Revolving Loans (which shall be Base Rate Loans) in an amount equal to the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation and the Administrative Agent shall give each Revolving Lender prompt notice of the amount of the Revolving Loan to be made available to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., and (ii) if such conditions would not permit the making of Revolving Loans, the provisions of subsection (j) of this Section shall apply. The limitations of Section 3.5.(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of Base Rate Loans under this subsection.

(f)Effect of Letters of Credit on Revolving Commitments. Upon the issuance by the Administrative Agent of any Letter of Credit and until such Letter of Credit shall have expired or been terminated, the Revolving Commitment of each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be utilized for all purposes of this Agreement in an amount equal to the product of (i) such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage and (ii) the sum of (A) the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit plus (B) any related Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding.

(g)Administrative Agent’s Duties Regarding Letters of Credit; Unconditional Nature of Reimbursement Obligations. In examining documents presented in connection with drawings under Letters of Credit and making payments under such Letters of Credit against such documents, the Administrative Agent shall only be required to use the same standard of care as it uses in connection with examining documents presented in connection with drawings under letters of credit in which it has not sold participations and making payments under such letters of credit. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Lenders shall be responsible for (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effects of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of or any drawing honored under any Letter of Credit even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit, or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telex, telecopy or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

drawing under any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or the proceeds of any drawing under any Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. None of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s rights or powers hereunder. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment), shall not create against the Administrative Agent or any Lender any liability to the Borrower or any Lender. In this regard, the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Administrative Agent for any drawing made under any Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any other applicable Letter of Credit Document under all circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation, the following circumstances: (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Document or any term or provisions therein; (B) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit Documents; (C) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or in the Letter of Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction; (D) any breach of contract or dispute between the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person; (E) any demand, 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 or made in connection therewith being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (F) any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (G) payment by the Administrative Agent under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and (H) any other act, omission to act, delay or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section or Section 12.9., but not in limitation of the Borrower’s unconditional obligation to reimburse the Administrative Agent for any drawing made under a Letter of Credit as provided in this Section, the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent or any Lender in respect of any liability incurred by the Administrative Agent or a Lender arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or a Lender in respect of a Letter of Credit as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, nothing in this Section shall affect any rights the Borrower may have with respect to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit.

(h)Amendments, Etc. The issuance by the Administrative Agent of any amendment, supplement or other modification to any Letter of Credit shall be subject to the same conditions applicable under this Agreement to the issuance of new Letters of Credit (including, without limitation, that the request therefor be made through the Administrative Agent), and no such amendment, supplement or other modification shall be issued unless either (i) the respective Letter of Credit affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it originally been issued hereunder in such amended, supplemented or modified form or (ii) the Administrative Agent and

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

the Revolving Lenders, if any, required by Section 13.6. shall have consented thereto. In connection with any such amendment, supplement or other modification, the Borrower shall pay the Fees, if any, payable under the last sentence of Section 3.6.(c).

(i)Revolving Lenders’ Participation in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the date of issuance by the Administrative Agent of any other Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Administrative Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the liability of the Administrative Agent with respect to such Letter of Credit, and each Revolving Lender thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and shall be unconditionally obligated to the Administrative Agent to pay and discharge when due, such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Administrative Agent’s liability under such Letter of Credit. In addition, upon the making of each payment by a Revolving Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of any Letter of Credit pursuant to the immediately following subsection (j), such Revolving Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of the Administrative Agent or such Revolving Lender, acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal to such payment in the Reimbursement Obligation owing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit and (ii) a participation in a percentage equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage in any interest or other amounts payable by the Borrower in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation (other than the Fees payable to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the third and last sentences of Section 3.6.(c)).

(j)Payment Obligation of Revolving Lenders. Each Revolving Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent on demand in immediately available funds in Dollars the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of each drawing paid by the Administrative Agent under each Letter of Credit to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.5.(d); provided, however, that in respect of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the maximum amount that any Revolving Lender shall be required to fund, whether as a Revolving Loan or as a participation, shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such drawing. If the notice referenced in the second sentence of Section 2.5.(e) is received by a Revolving Lender not later than 11:00 a.m., then such Revolving Lender shall make such payment available to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of demand therefor; otherwise, such payment shall be made available to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the next succeeding Business Day. Each such Revolving Lender’s obligation to make such payments to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, and the Administrative Agent’s right to receive the same, shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected in any way by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) the failure of any other Revolving Lender to make its payment under this subsection, (ii) the financial condition of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, (iii) the existence of any Default or Event of Default, including any Event of Default described in Section 10.1.(f) or 10.1.(g) or (iv) the termination of the Revolving Commitments. Each such payment to the Administrative Agent shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or deduction whatsoever.

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

(k)Information to Revolving Lenders. Upon the request of any Revolving Lender from time to time, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Revolving Lender information reasonably requested by such Revolving Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit then outstanding. Other than as set forth in this subsection, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to notify the Revolving Lenders regarding the issuance or other matters regarding Letters of Credit issued hereunder. The failure of the Administrative Agent to perform its requirements under this subsection shall not relieve any Revolving Lender from its obligations under Section 2.5.(j).

(l)Intentionally Omitted.

(m)Extended Letters of Credit. Each Revolving Lender confirms that its obligations under the immediately preceding subsections (i) and (j) shall be reinstated in full and apply if the delivery of any Cash Collateral in respect of an Extended Letter of Credit is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise.

Section 2.6.Rates and Payment of Interest on Loans.

(a)Rates. The Borrower promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by such Lender for the period from and including the date of the making of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following per annum rates:

(i)in the case of Revolving Loans, during such periods as such Loan is (x) a Base Rate Loan, at the Alternate Base Rate (as in effect from time to time) plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, (y) a Term SOFR Loan, at Adjusted Term SOFR for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are SOFR Loans and (z) a Daily Simple SOFR Loan, at Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are SOFR Loans;

(iii)if such Loan is an Absolute Rate Loan, at the Absolute Rate for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor quoted by the Lender making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.3.; and

(iv)if such Loan is a SOFR Margin Loan, at Adjusted Term SOFR for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor plus the SOFR Margin quoted by the Lender making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.3.

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Class of Lenders, the Swingline Lender, and the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, interest at the Post-Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of each Class of Loans made by such Lender, on the outstanding amount of the Swingline Loans, on all Reimbursement Obligations, respectively, and on any other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes held by such Lenders to or for the account of such Lenders (including without limitation, accrued but unpaid interest to the extent permitted under Applicable Law).

(b)Payment of Interest. Accrued and unpaid interest on each Loan shall be payable (i) on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, (ii) in the case of any Loan, on the date of any payment, prepayment or Continuation thereof or the Conversion of such Loan to a Loan of another Type (but only on the principal amount so paid, prepaid, Continued or Converted) and (iii) on any date on which the principal balance of such Loan is due and payable in full (whether at maturity, due to acceleration or otherwise). Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand. Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders to which such interest is payable and to the Borrower. All determinations by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders and the Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c)Unavailability of SOFR. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a SOFR Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request to borrow a SOFR Loan, or Conversion to or Continuation of SOFR Loans, to be made, Converted or Continued during any SOFR Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or Conversion to Base Rate Loans. If a SOFR Unavailability Period has commenced and the circumstances are not likely to be temporary, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, then the provisions of Section 4.9 shall be applicable.

Section 2.7.Number of Interest Periods.

There may be no more than (a) 10 different Interest Periods for Revolving Loans that are Term SOFR Loans and SOFR Margin Loans, collectively, outstanding at the same time (for which purpose Interest Periods described in the definition of the term “Interest Period” shall be deemed to be different Interest Periods even if they are coterminous) and (b) 6 different Interest Periods for Term Loans that are Term SOFR Loans outstanding at the same time.

(c)Bid Rate Loans. The Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued interest on, each Bid Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period of such Bid Rate Loan.

Section 2.9.Prepayments.

(a)Optional. Subject to Section 4.4., the Borrower may prepay any Loan (other than a Bid Rate Loan) at any time without premium or penalty. A Bid Rate Loan may be prepaid with the prior written consent of the Revolving Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) holding such Bid Rate Loan. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day’s prior written notice of the prepayment of any Loan.

(b)Mandatory. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and Bid Rate Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, exceeds the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments in effect at such time, the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the Lenders then holding Revolving Commitments the amount of such excess.

(c)Bid Rate Facility Overadvance. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Bid Rate Loans exceeds one-half of the aggregate amount of all Revolving Commitments at such time, then the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the applicable Revolving Lenders the amount of such excess.

All payments under the preceding subsection (b) shall be applied to pay all amounts of principal outstanding on the Loans and any Reimbursement Obligations pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2. and if any Letters of Credit are outstanding at such time the remainder, if any, shall be deposited into the Collateral Account for application to any Reimbursement Obligations. Amounts paid under the preceding subsection (c) shall be applied in accordance with Section 3.2.(h). If the Borrower is required to pay any outstanding SOFR Loans or SOFR Margin Loans by reason of this Section prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period therefor, the Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 4.4.

Section 2.10.Continuation.

So long as no Event of Default shall exist, the Borrower may on any Business Day, with respect to any Term SOFR Loan, elect to maintain such Term SOFR Loan or any portion thereof as a Term SOFR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period for such Term SOFR Loan. Each new Interest Period selected under this Section shall commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period. Each selection of a new Interest Period shall be made by the Borrower giving to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Continuation not later than 11:00 a.m. on the third Business Day prior to the date of any such Continuation. Such notice by the Borrower of a Continuation shall be by telephone, electronic mail or telecopy, confirmed immediately in writing if by telephone, in the form of a Notice of Continuation, specifying (a) the proposed date of such Continuation, (b) the Term SOFR Loans, Class and portions thereof subject to such Continuation and (c) the duration of the selected Interest Period, all of which shall be specified in such manner as is necessary to comply with all limitations on Loans outstanding hereunder. Each Notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given. Promptly after

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

receipt of a Notice of Continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender holding Loans being Continued by telecopy, or other similar form of transmission, of the proposed Continuation. If the Borrower shall fail to select in a timely manner a new Interest Period for any Term SOFR Loan in accordance with this Section, or if an Event of Default shall exist, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Loan notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 2.11. or the Borrower’s failure to comply with any of the terms of such Section 2.11.

Section 2.11.Conversion.

The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon the Borrower’s giving of a Notice of Conversion to the Administrative Agent, Convert all or a portion of a Loan of one Type into a Loan of another Type; provided, however, a Base Rate Loan may not be Converted to a Term SOFR Loan if an Event of Default shall exist. Any Conversion of a Term SOFR Loan into a Base Rate Loan or a Daily Simple SOFR Loan shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such Term SOFR Loan and, upon Conversion of a Base Rate Loan or a Daily Simple SOFR Loan into a SOFR Loan, the Borrower shall pay accrued interest to the date of Conversion on the principal amount so Converted. Each such Notice of Conversion shall be given not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) on the Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into Base Rate Loans, (ii) on the fifth SOFR Business Day prior to the date of any proposed conversion into Daily Simple SOFR Loans and (iii) on the third Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into Term SOFR Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender holding Loans being Converted by telecopy, or other similar form of transmission, of the proposed Conversion. Subject to the restrictions specified above, each Notice of Conversion shall be by telephone (confirmed immediately in writing), electronic mail or telecopy in the form of a Notice of Conversion specifying (a) the requested date of such Conversion, (b) the Type of Loan to be Converted, (c) the portion of such Type of Loan to be Converted, (d) the Type and Class of Loan such Loan is to be Converted into and (e) if such Conversion is into a Term SOFR Loan, the requested duration of the Interest Period of such Loan. Each Notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given.

Section 2.12.Notes.

(a)Notes. If requested by any Lender, the Loans of a Class made by such Lender shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a Revolving Note or a Term Note, as applicable, payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to, in the case of a Revolving Lender, the amount of its Revolving Commitment as originally in effect (or otherwise in effect at the time that the Revolving Note is issued), and in the case of a Term Loan Lender, the initial principal amount of its Term Loan, as applicable, and, in each case, otherwise duly completed. The Swingline Loans made by the Swingline Lender to the Borrower shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a Swingline Note payable to the order of the Swingline Lender. If requested by a Revolving Lender, the Bid Rate Loans made by such Revolving Lender to the Borrower shall, in addition to this Agreement, be evidenced by a Bid Rate Note.

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

Any payment of principal, interest, Fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article X. or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.3. 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 (other than in respect of Letters of Credit); second, in the case of a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of Letters of Credit hereunder or the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, in the case of a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, to Cash Collateralize the Administrative Agent’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with subsection (e) below; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such 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 a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) in the case of a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Revolving Loans under this Agreement and (y) in the case of a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, Cash Collateralize the Administrative Agent’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with subsection (e) below; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender 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 or Event of Default exists, 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 Loans of either Class or amounts required to have been funded by the Revolving Lenders under Section 2.5.(j) in respect of Letters of Credit (such amounts “L/C Disbursements”), in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Article V. were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of such Class of, and L/C Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders of the applicable Class on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans of such Class and, as applicable, funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swingline Loans, are held by the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (determined without giving effect to the immediately following subsection (d)) and all Term Loans are held by the Term Loan Lenders pro rata as if there had been no Defaulting Lenders of such Class. Any payments, prepayments or other

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

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 subsection shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(c)Certain Fees.

(i)No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Fee payable under Sections 3.6.(a) and 3.6.(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(ii)Each Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender shall be entitled to receive Fees payable under Section 3.6.(c) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to the immediately following subsection (e).

(iii)With respect to any Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to the immediately preceding clauses (i) or (ii), the Borrower shall (x) pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Non-Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender that portion of any such Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to the immediately following subsection (d), (y) pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Administrative Agent and Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Administrative Agent’s or Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such Fee.

(d)Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. In the case of a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders that are Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (determined without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Article V. are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Subject to Section 12.19., no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Revolving 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.

(e)Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans.

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

(i)If the reallocation described in the immediately preceding subsection (d) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Administrative Agent’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in this subsection.

(ii)At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, within 1 Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Administrative Agent’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to the immediately preceding subsection (d) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of the Administrative Agent with respect to Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time.

(iii)The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities, to be applied pursuant to the immediately following clause (iv). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of the Administrative Agent with respect to Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(iv)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the obligations of the Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(v)Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Administrative Agent’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this subsection following (x) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender in accordance with the immediately following subsection (f)), or (y) the determination by the Administrative Agent that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to the immediately preceding subsection (b), the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Administrative Agent may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

(f)Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and solely in the case of a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, the Swingline Lender, agree in writing that a Lender is no longer 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), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause, as applicable, (i) the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (determined without giving effect to the immediately preceding subsection (d)) and (ii) Term Loans to be held by the Term Loan Lenders pro rata by the Term Loan Lenders as though there had been no Defaulting Lender, 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 that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

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

(h)Purchase of Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment/Loans. During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may, by the Borrower giving written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Revolving Commitment and Loans to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.5.(b). No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. In addition, any Lender which is not a Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to acquire the face amount of all or a portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment and Loans via an assignment subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.5.(b). In connection with any such assignment, such Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment, including an appropriate Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders.

Section 3.12.Taxes.

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

(a)Certain Terms. For purposes of this Section, the term “Lender” includes the Administrative Agent as the issuer of Letters of Credit, and the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.

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

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

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

(e)Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower or another Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.5. relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection. The provisions of this subsection shall continue to inure to the benefit of an Administrative Agent following its resignation or removal as Administrative Agent.

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

(g)Status of Lenders.

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

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

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

(B)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(I)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(II)an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;

(III)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit R-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

(IV)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit R-2 or Exhibit R-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit R-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), an

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

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

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

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

Article IV.YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.

Section 4.1.Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.

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

(b)Additional Costs. In addition to, and not in limitation of the immediately preceding subsection (a), the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any SOFR Loans or SOFR Margin Loans or its obligation to make any SOFR Loans or SOFR Margin Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such SOFR Loans or SOFR Margin Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its SOFR Loans or SOFR Margin Loans or its Commitment (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), to the extent any such Additional Costs result from any Regulatory Change that: (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such SOFR Loans or SOFR Margin Loans or its Commitments (other thansubject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender, or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitment of such Lender hereunder); or (iii) imposes on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender.

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

(c)Lender’s Suspension of SOFR Loans and SOFR Margin Loans. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsections (a) and (b), if, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs or would incur Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on SOFR Loans or SOFR Margin Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes SOFR Loans or SOFR Margin Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans and/or the obligation of a Revolving Lender that has outstanding a Bid Rate Quote to make SOFR Margin Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 4.5. shall apply).

(d)Additional Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit. Without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under the preceding subsections of this Section (but without duplication), if as a result of any Regulatory Change or any risk-based capital guideline or other requirement heretofore or hereafter issued by any Governmental Authority there shall be imposed, modified or deemed applicable any Tax (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and Connection Income Taxes), reserve, special deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference to Letters of Credit and the result shall be to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent of issuing (or any Lender of purchasing participations in) or maintaining its obligation hereunder to issue (or purchase participations in) any Letter of Credit or reduce any amount receivable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit, then, upon demand by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, the Borrower shall pay promptly, and in any event within 3 Business Days of demand, to the Administrative Agent for its account or the account of such Lender, as applicable, from time to time as specified by the Administrative Agent or a Lender, such additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate the Administrative Agent or such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amount.

(e)Notification and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the Agreement Date entitling the Administrative Agent or such Lender to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder (and in the case of a Lender, to the Administrative Agent) provided, further, that neither the Administrative Agent nor a Lender, as the case may be, shall be entitled to submit a claim for compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section unless such Person shall have determined that the making of such claim is consistent with its general practices under similar circumstances in respect of similarly situated borrowers that are equity REITs with credit agreements entitling it to make such claims (it being agreed that neither the Administrative Agent nor a Lender shall be required to disclose any confidential or proprietary information in connection with such determination or the making of such claim). The Administrative Agent or such Lender agrees to furnish to the Borrower (and in the case of a Lender, to the Administrative Agent) a certificate executed by a Person that has authority to

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

execute such certificate on behalf of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, setting forth the basis and amount of each request by the Administrative Agent or such Lender for compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section and stating that such claim is consistent with such Person’s general practices under similar circumstances in respect of similarly situated borrowers that are equity REITs with credit agreements entitling it to make such claims. Absent manifest error, determinations by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith. The Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Section 4.2.Suspension of SOFR Loans and SOFR Margin Loans.

(a)Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding but subject to Section 4.9 hereof, if, on or prior to the determination of Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR for any Interest Period (as applicable):

(i)the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR for any Interest Period (as applicable);

(ii)the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining SOFR Loans for such Interest Period (as applicable); or

(iii)any Revolving Lender that has outstanding a Bid Rate Quote with respect to a SOFR Margin Loan reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that SOFR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of making and maintaining such SOFR Margin Loan;

then the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, (i) the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, make additional SOFR Loans, Continue SOFR Loans or Convert Loans into SOFR Loans and the Borrower shall, on the last day of each current Interest Period for each outstanding SOFR Loan, either repay such Loan or Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan and (ii) in the case of clause (iii) above, no Revolving Lender that has outstanding a Bid Rate Quote with respect to a SOFR Margin Loan shall be under any obligation to make such Loan.

Section 4.3.Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (a) if any Lender shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it has become unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain SOFR Loans hereunder and/or (b) if any Lender that has an outstanding Bid Rate Quote shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it is unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

maintain SOFR Margin Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, SOFR Loans shall be suspended and/or such Lender’s obligation to make SOFR Margin Loans shall be suspended, in each case, until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain SOFR Loans or SOFR Margin Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 4.5. shall be applicable).

Section 4.4.Compensation.

The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender through the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense that such Lender reasonably determines is attributable to:

(a)any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of (I) a Term SOFR Loan or a Bid Rate Loan, or Conversion of a Term SOFR Loan, made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan or (ii) a Daily Simple SOFR Loan or Conversion of an Adjusteda Daily Simple SOFR Loan, made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration) on a date other than the Interest Payment Date for such Loan; or

(b)any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Article V. to be satisfied) to borrow a SOFR Loan or a Bid Rate Loan from such Lender on the requested date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base Rate Loan or an Adjusteda Daily Simple SOFR Loan into a Term SOFR Loan, or to Convert a Base Rate Loan or Term SOFR Loan into an Adjusteda Daily Simple SOFR Loan or Continue a Term SOFR Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation.

Upon the Borrower’s request, any Lender requesting compensation under this Section shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. Absent manifest error, determinations by any Lender in any such statement shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

Section 4.5.Treatment of Affected Loans.

(a)If the obligation of any Lender to make SOFR Loans or to Continue Term SOFR Loans, or to Convert Base Rate Loans or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Loans into Term SOFR Loans, or to Convert Base Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans in Daily Simple SOFR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.1.(c), 4.2. or 4.3., then such Lender’s SOFR Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans, with respect to any Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Loan, immediately, and, with respect to Term SOFR Loans, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for Term SOFR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 4.1.(c), 4.2. or 4.3., on such earlier date as such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, may specify to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, as applicable)) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 4.1. 4.2. or 4.3. that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

(i)to the extent that such Lender’s SOFR Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s SOFR Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and

(ii)all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as SOFR Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into SOFR Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

If such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, as applicable) that the circumstances specified in Section 4.1. 4.2. or 4.3. that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s SOFR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when SOFR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding SOFR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding SOFR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.

(b)If the obligation of a Lender to make SOFR Margin Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.1.(c) 4.2. or 4.3., then the SOFR Margin Loans of such Lender shall be automatically due and payable on such date as such Lender may specify to the Borrower by written notice with a copy to the Administrative Agent, which date shall not be earlier than 3 Business Days after the Borrower’s receipt of such written notice.

Section 4.6.Affected Lenders.

If (a) a Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.12. or 4.1., and the Requisite Lenders are not also doing the same, or (b) the obligation of any Lender to make SOFR Loans or to Continue Term SOFR, or to Convert Base Rate Loans or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Loan into Term SOFR, or to Convert Base Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loan into Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Sections 4.1.(c), 4.2. or 4.3. but the obligation of the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended under such Sections, then, so long as there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default, the Borrower may demand that such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly, assign its Commitment(s) and Loans to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.5.(b) for a purchase price equal to (x) the aggregate principal balance of all Loans then owing to the Affected Lender, plus (y) the aggregate amount of payments previously made by the Affected Lender under Section 2.5.(j) that have not been repaid, plus (z) any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender, or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon by such Affected Lender and Eligible Assignee. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this Section, but at no time shall the Administrative Agent, such Affected Lender, any other Lender or any Titled Agent be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. The

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders. The terms of this Section shall not in any way limit the Borrower’s obligation to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 3.12., 4.1. or 4.4.) with respect to any period up to the date of replacement.

Section 4.7.Change of Lending Office.

Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts to designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in Sections 3.12., 4.1. or 4.3. to reduce the liability of the Borrower or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate a Lending Office located in the United States of America.

Section 4.8.Assumptions Concerning Funding of SOFR Loans.

Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Article IV. shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded SOFR Loans through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such SOFR Loans in an amount equal to the amount of the SOFR Loans and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its SOFR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used only for calculation of amounts payable under this Article IV.

Section 4.9.Permanent Inability to Determine Benchmark.

(a)Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 4.9 will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. Unless and until a Benchmark Replacement is effective in accordance with this clause (a), all Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2 above.

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

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

(c)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower and the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 4.9 including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 4.9.

(d)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or incompliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

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

The ratio of (i) Total Indebtedness to (ii) Total Asset Value (the “Corporate Leverage Ratio”), to exceed 0.60 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter of the Parent most recently ending (the “Maximum Leverage Ratio”), provided, however, that if such ratio is greater than 0.60 to 1.00 but is not greater than 0.65 to 1.00, then the Borrower shall be deemed to be in compliance with this subsection (a) so long as (i) the Borrower completed a Material Acquisition which resulted in such ratio (after giving effect to such Material Acquisition) exceeding 0.60 to 1.00 during the fiscal quarter in which such Material Acquisition took place and for the immediately subsequent fiscal quarter, (ii) the Borrower has not maintained compliance with this subsection (a) in reliance on this proviso for more than two (2) non-consecutive fiscal quarters during the term of the Facility, and (iii) such ratio (after giving effect to such Material Acquisition) is not greater than 0.65 to 1.00.

For purposes of calculating this ratiothe Corporate Leverage Ratio, (A) Total Indebtedness shall be adjusted by deducting therefrom an amount equal to the lesser of (x) Total Indebtedness that by its terms is scheduled to mature on or before the date that is 24 months from the date of such calculation and (y) unrestricted cash and Cash Equivalents, and (B) Total Asset Value shall be adjusted by deducting therefrom the amount by which Total Indebtedness is adjusted under the immediately preceding clause (A).

113

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

capacity as such, the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as the issuer of Letters or Credit, and the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such, ratably among the Administrative Agent and Swingline Lender in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (a) payable to them;

(b)to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders under the Loan Documents, including attorney fees, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (b) payable to them;

(c)to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Swingline Loans;

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

(f)to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations, other Letter of Credit Liabilities, ratably among the Lenders and the Administrative Agent in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (f) payable to them; provided, however, to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to this clause are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of an outstanding Letter of Credit, such amounts shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for deposit into the Collateral Account; and

(g)the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Applicable Law.

Section 10.5.Collateral Account.

(a)As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of all Letter of Credit Liabilities and the other Obligations, the Borrower hereby pledges and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders as provided herein, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Collateral Account and the balances from time to time in the Collateral Account (including the investments and reinvestments therein provided for below). The balances from time to time in the Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any Letter of Credit Liabilities until applied by the Administrative Agent as provided herein. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in the Collateral Account shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided in this Section.

(b)Amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested by the Administrative Agent in such Cash Equivalents as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. All such investments and reinvestments shall be held in the name of and be

114

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any funds held in the Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Administrative Agent accords other funds deposited with the Administrative Agent, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any funds held in the Collateral Account.

(c)If a drawing pursuant to any Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders authorize the Administrative Agent to use the monies deposited in the Collateral Account to make payment to the beneficiary with respect to such drawing or the payee with respect to such presentment.

(d)If an Event of Default exists, the Requisite Lenders may, in their discretion, at any time and from time to time, instruct the Administrative Agent to liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and apply proceeds thereof to the Obligations in accordance with Section 10.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to liquidate and release any such amounts if such liquidation or release would result in the amount available in the Collateral Account to be less than the Stated Amount of all Extended Letters of Credit that remain outstanding.

(e)So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities, the Administrative Agent shall, from time to time, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower within 10 Business Days after the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such request from the Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, such of the balances in the Collateral Account as exceed the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities at such time. Upon the expiration, termination or cancellation of an Extended Letter of Credit for which the Revolving Lenders reimbursed (or funded participations in) a drawing deemed to have occurred under the third sentence of Section 2.5.(b) for deposit into the Collateral Account but in respect of which the Revolving Lenders have not otherwise received payment for the amount so reimbursed or funded, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Revolving Lenders the amount so reimbursed or funded for such Extended Letter of Credit that remains in the Collateral Account, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid reimbursements or funded participations of the Revolving Lenders in respect of such Extended Letter of Credit, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever. When all of the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and no Letters of Credit remain outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, the balances remaining in the Collateral Account.

(f)The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent from time to time such fees as the Administrative Agent normally charges for similar services in connection with the Administrative Agent’s administration of the Collateral Account and investments and reinvestments of funds therein.

115

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

Section 10.6.Performance by Administrative Agent.

If the Parent or the Borrower shall fail to perform any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, and such failure has continued after the expiration of any cure or grace period set forth herein, the Administrative Agent may, after notice to the Parent or the Borrower, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of the Parent or the Borrower. In such event, the Borrower shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by the Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon at the applicable Post-Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for the performance of any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 10.7.Rights Cumulative.

(a)Generally. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any of them may otherwise have under Applicable Law. In exercising their respective rights and remedies the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may be selective and no failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.

(b)Enforcement by Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Article X. for its benefit and the benefit of all the Lenders; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (ii) the Swingline Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as the Swingline Lender, as the case may be) hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, (iii) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 12.3. (subject to the terms of Section 3.3.), or (iv) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (x) the Requisite Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article X. and (y) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (ii), and (iv) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 3.3., any Lender may, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Requisite Lenders.

Article XI.THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 11.1.Authorization and Action.

Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender nor to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. At the request of a Lender, the Administrative Agent will forward to such Lender copies or, where appropriate, originals of the documents delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent will also furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy of any certificate or notice furnished to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, any Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the Borrower, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have so directed the Administrative Agent to exercise such right or remedy.

Section 11.2.Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Administrative Agent receives written notice of the

117

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

assignment or transfer thereof signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; (b) may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person and shall not be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statements, warranties or representations made by any Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or other Persons or inspect the property, books or records of the Borrower or any other Person; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders in any such collateral; and (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone or telecopy) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties.

Section 11.3.Notice of Defaults.

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender, the Parent or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent such a “notice of default.” Further, if the Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default”, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

Section 11.4.Administrative Agent as Lender.

The Lender acting as Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include KeyBank in each case in its individual capacity. KeyBank and its Affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders. Further, the Administrative Agent and any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent may accept fees and other consideration from the Parent or the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, KeyBank or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Parent, the Borrower, other Loan Parties, other Subsidiaries and other

118

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.

Section 11.5.Approvals of Lenders.

All communications from the Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent or approval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, approval or consent is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, and (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and a summary of all oral information provided to the Administrative Agent by the Parent and the Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved. Each Lender shall reply promptly, but in any event within 10 Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication. Unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation or determination of the Administrative Agent (together with a written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within the applicable time period for reply (which shall be no less than 10 Business Days), such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved such requested determination, consent or approval. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any amendment, waiver or consent regarding any of the matters described in Section 12.6.(b).

Section 11.6.Lender Credit Decision, Etc.

Each Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates of the Administrative Agent has made any representations or warranties as to the financial condition, operations, creditworthiness, solvency or other information concerning the business or affairs of the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any Subsidiary or any other Person to such Lender and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary of the Parent or the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on the financial statements of the Parent, the Borrower, the Subsidiaries or any other Affiliate thereof, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Borrower, the Loan Parties, the Subsidiaries of the Parent and the Borrower and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall

119

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent, or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates. Each Lender acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to such Lender.

Section 11.7.Indemnification of Administrative Agent.

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment or if the Administrative Agent fails to follow the written direction of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if expressly required hereunder) unless such failure results from the Administrative Agent following the advice of counsel to the Administrative Agent of which advice the Lenders have received notice. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing but subject to the preceding proviso, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees of the counsel(s) of the Administrative Agent’s own choosing) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, or enforcement of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Administrative Agent, and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all

120

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.

Section 11.8.Successor Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may be removed as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents for gross negligence or willful misconduct upon 30-day’s prior written notice by all Lenders (other than the Lender then acting as Administrative Agent). Upon any such resignation or removal, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and its Affiliates as a successor Administrative Agent). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the resigning Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the giving of notice of the removal of the Administrative Agent, then the resigning or removed Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be a commercial bank having total combined assets of at least $50,000,000,000; provided, the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to serve as Administrative Agent until such time as a successor Administrative Agent shall have accepted such appointment. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents; provided, however, such retiring Administrative Agent shall not be relieved from any obligations arising prior to its discharge to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment or from the failure by the Administrative Agent to follow the written direction of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if expressly required hereunder) unless such failure results from the Administrative Agent following the advice of counsel to the Administrative Agent of which advice the Lenders have received notice. Such successor Administrative Agent shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or shall make other arrangements satisfactory to the current Administrative Agent, in either case, to assume effectively the obligations of the current Administrative Agent with respect to such Letters of Credit. Any resignation by, or removal of, an Administrative Agent shall also constitute the resignation or removal of such Lender as the Swingline Lender. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XI. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.

Section 11.9.Titled Agents.

Each of the Titled Agents and the Sustainability Structuring Agent in each such respective capacity, assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles of “Joint Lead Arranger”, “Joint Book Runner”, “Syndication Agent”, “Co-Documentation Agent”, “Sustainability Structuring Agent” and “Managing Agent” are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or any Lender and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Titled Agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.

Section 11.10. Sustainability Structuring Agent.

The Sustainability Structuring Agent will (i) assist the Borrower in determining the ESG Pricing Provisions in connection with the ESG Amendment and (ii) assist the Borrower in preparing informational materials focused on ESG targets to be used in connection with the ESG Amendment, in each case, based upon the information provided by the Borrower with respect to the applicable KPIs or ESG Ratings targets selected in accordance with Section 12.6.(d); provided, that, the Sustainability Structuring Agent (x) shall have no duty to ascertain, inquire into or otherwise independently verify any such information and (y) shall have no responsibility for (and shall not be liable for) the completeness or accuracy of any such information.

123

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b)Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, issuer of the Letters of Credit, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or issuer of the Letters of Credit such Lender or issuer of Letters of Credit, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, issuer of the Letters of Credit, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

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

(ii)such Lender or issuer of the Letters of Credit shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within two Business Days of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.12.(b).

(c)Each Lender or issuer of the Letters of Credit hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or issuer of the Letters of Credit under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or issuer of the Letters of Credit from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

124

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender or issuer of the Letters of Credit at any time, (i) such Lender or issuer of the Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement by reference pursuant to an approved electronic platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or issuer of the Letters of Credit shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender or issuer of the Letters of Credit, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender or assigning issuer of the Letters of Credit shall cease to be a Lender or issuer of the Letters of Credit, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender or assigning issuer of the Letters of Credit and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender or issuer of the Letters of Credit shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender or issuer of the Letters of Credit (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender or issuer of the Letters of Credit and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender or issuer of the Letters of Credit under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).

(e)The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, all amounts representing an Erroneous Payment shall constitute Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents irrespective of the making of such Erroneous Payment EXCEPT, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is (and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is) comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the

125

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

Borrower or any other Loan Party (the “Borrower Payment Amounts”) for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

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

(g)Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 11.12. shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or issuer of the Letters of Credit, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

(ii)Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not (x) apply to rights in respect of a Bid Rate Loan or (y) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Classes of Loans and Commitments on a non-pro rata basis.

(B)the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (x) a Revolving Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not already a Lender with a Revolving Commitment, an Affiliate of such a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such a Lender or (y) a Term Loan Commitment and/or Term Loan to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(C)the consent of the Swingline Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of a Revolving Commitment to a Person that is not already a Revolving Lender.

(iv)Assignment and Acceptance Agreement; Notes. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. If requested by the transferor Lender or the Eligible

131

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

Assignee, upon the consummation of any assignment, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes are issued to the Eligible Assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate.

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

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

(vii)Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Revolving Commitment 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 the immediately following subsection (c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.4., 12.2. and 12.9. and the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in Section 12.10. 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

132

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender 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 of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with the immediately following subsection (d).

(c)Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Principal Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (w) increase such Lender’s Commitments (except for any increase in the Commitments effectuated pursuant to Section 2.17.), (x) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender (except as contemplated under Section 2.14.), (y) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon or (z) release any Guarantor from its Obligations under the Guaranty (except as otherwise permitted under Section 7.12.(c)) in each case, as applicable to that portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations that are subject to the participation. Subject to the immediately following subsection (e), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.12., 4.1., 4.4. to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.3. as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.3. as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation 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) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (and is maintained in accordance with Sections 5f. 103-1(c) and 1.871-14(c)(1)(i) of the United States Treasury Regulations) (the

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

“Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Sections 5f.103-1(c) and 1.871-14(c)(1)(i) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e)Limitations upon Participant Right. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.12., 4.1. and 4.4. than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent which consent may be withheld in the Borrower’s sole discretion. A Participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.12. unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to comply with Section 3.12.(g) as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.12.(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender).

(f)Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g)No Registration. Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent exercised in their sole discretion, it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America or of any other jurisdiction.

(h)Designated Lenders. Any Revolving Lender (each, a “Designating Lender”) may at any time while the Borrower has been assigned an Investment Grade Rating from at least two of the Rating Agencies designate one Designated Lender to fund Bid Rate Loans on behalf of such Designating Lender subject to the terms of this subsection, and the provisions in the immediately preceding subsections (b) and (d) shall not apply to such designation. No Lender may designate more than one Designated Lender. The parties to each such designation shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance a Designation Agreement. Upon such receipt of an appropriately completed Designation Agreement executed by a Designating Lender and a designee representing that it is a Designated Lender, the Administrative Agent will accept such Designation Agreement and give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower, whereupon (i) the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Designating Lender a Bid Rate Note payable to the order of the

134

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

Designated Lender, (ii) from and after the effective date specified in the Designation Agreement, the Designated Lender shall become a party to this Agreement with a right to make Bid Rate Loans on behalf of its Designating Lender pursuant to Section 2.3. after the Borrower has accepted a Bid Rate Loan (or portion thereof) of the Designating Lender, and (iii) the Designated Lender shall not be required to make payments with respect to any obligations in this Agreement except to the extent of excess cash flow of such Designated Lender which is not otherwise required to repay obligations of such Designated Lender which are then due and payable; provided, however, that regardless of such designation and assumption by the Designated Lender, the Designating Lender shall be and remain obligated to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for each and every of the obligations of the Designating Lender and its related Designated Lender with respect to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any indemnification obligations under Section 11.7. and any sums otherwise payable to the Borrower by the Designated Lender. Each Designating Lender shall serve as the agent of the Designated Lender and shall on behalf of, and to the exclusion of, the Designated Lender: (i) receive any and all payments made for the benefit of the Designated Lender and (ii) give and receive all communications and notices and take all actions hereunder, including, without limitation, votes, approvals, waivers, consents and amendments under or relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any such notice, communication, vote, approval, waiver, consent or amendment shall be signed by the Designating Lender as agent for the Designated Lender and shall not be signed by the Designated Lender on its own behalf and shall be binding on the Designated Lender to the same extent as if signed by the Designated Lender on its own behalf. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may rely thereon without any requirement that the Designated Lender sign or acknowledge the same. No Designated Lender may assign or transfer all or any portion of its interest hereunder or under any other Loan Document, other than assignments to the Designating Lender which originally designated such Designated Lender. The Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent each hereby agrees that it will not institute against any Designated Lender or join any other Person in instituting against any Designated Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, until the later to occur of (x) one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Designated Lender and (y) the Revolving Credit Termination Date. In connection with any such designation, the Designating Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such designation in the amount of $3,500.

Section 12.6.Amendments.

(a)Generally. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document to be given by the Lenders may be given, and any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document may be amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Document or the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Requisite Lenders (and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan Party a party thereto). Any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document relating solely to the rights or obligations of the Lenders of a particular Class, and not Lenders of the other Class, may

135

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

be amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any such terms may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, and only with, the written consent of the Requisite Class Lenders for such Class of Lenders (and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan Party which is a party thereto).

(b)Additional Lender Consents. In addition to the foregoing requirements, no amendment waiver or consent shall do any of the following:

(i)(A) increase (or reinstate) the Commitments of a Lender or subject a Lender to any additional obligations without the written consent of such Lender or (B) increase the aggregate Commitments other than in connection with an increase under Section 2.17. as provided therein without the consent of each Lender;

(iii)reduce the amount of any Fees payable to a Lender without the written consent of such Lender;

(vi)modify the definition of “Term Loan Maturity Date” or clause (b) of the definition of “Termination Date” (in each case, except in accordance with Section 2.14.) or otherwise postpone any date fixed for, or forgive, any payment of principal of, or interest on, any Term Loans or for the payment of Fees or any other Obligations owing to the Term Loan Lenders, in each case, without the written consent of each Term Loan Lender directly affected thereby;

(vii)while any Term Loans are outstanding, amend, modify or waive (A) Section 5.2. or any other provision of this Agreement if the effect of such amendment, modification

136

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

or waiver is to require the Revolving Lenders to make Revolving Loans when such Lenders would not otherwise be required to do so, (B) the amount of the Swingline Commitment or (C) the L/C Commitment Amount, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Requisite Class Lenders of the Revolving Lenders;

(viii)modify the definition of “Pro Rata Share” or amend or otherwise modify the provisions of Section 3.2. or any other provision in this Agreement requiring pro rata sharing of payments in a manner that would have the effect of altering the pro rata sharing of payments otherwise required hereunder without the written consent of each Lender; (or, as applicable, (i) each Revolving Lender if such provision relates solely to the Revolving Credit Facility, and (ii) each Term Loan Lender if such provision relates solely to the Term Loan Facility (or, as applicable, each Lender under an Additional Term Loan if such provision relates solely to an Additional Term Loan));

(ix)amend this Section or amend the definitions of the terms used in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents insofar as such definitions affect the substance of this Section, modify the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders” or (except as otherwise provided in the immediately following clause (x)), modify in any other manner the number or percentage of the Lenders required to make any determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof without the written consent of each Lender;

(x)modify the definition of the term “Requisite Class Lenders” as it relates to a particular Class of Lenders or modify in any other manner the number or percentage of a Class of Lenders required to make any determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof, in each case, solely with respect to such Class of Lenders, without the written consent of each Lender in such Class;

(xi)release the Parent as a Guarantor or any other Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty (except as expressly permitted by Section 7.12.(c)) without the written consent of each Lender; provided, however, the consent of each Lender shall not otherwise be required under this clause (xi) for any amendment, waiver or consent which does not expressly provide for the release of a Guarantor (but which may indirectly result in such a release);

(xii)amend, or waive the Borrower’s compliance with, Section 2.16. without the written consent of each Revolving Lender; or

137

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

(c)Certain Other Consents. No amendment, waiver or consent, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, without the consent of any Lender, enter into the amendments or modifications to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or enter into additional Loan Documents as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate in order to implement any Benchmark Replacement or otherwise effectuate the terms of Section 4.9 in accordance with and subject to the terms of Section 4.9. Any amendment, waiver or consent relating to Section 2.4. or the obligations of the Swingline Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, require the written consent of the Swingline Lender.

(d)ESG Amendment. After thePrior to the twelve-month anniversary of the Second Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower, in consultation with the Sustainability Structuring Agent, shall be entitled to either (a) establish specified Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”) with respect to certain Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) targets of the Parent and its Subsidiaries or (b) establish external ESG ratings (“ESG Ratings”) targets to be mutually agreed between the Borrower and the Sustainability Structuring Agent. The Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Borrower and the Requisite Lenders may amend this Agreement (such amendment, the “ESG Amendment”) at any time prior to the twelve-month anniversary of the Second Amendment Effective Date, solely for the purpose of incorporating either the KPIs or ESG Ratings and other related provisions (the “ESG Pricing Provisions”) into this Agreement for the Loans (any such ESG Amendment to include a so-called declassification clause satisfactory to the Requisite Lenders). Upon effectiveness of any such ESG Amendment, based on either the Borrower’s performance against the KPIs or its obtainment of the target ESG Ratings, certain adjustments to the Applicable Margin for Loans that are SOFR Loans and the Applicable Margin for Loans that are Base Rate Loans may be made; provided that the amount of any such adjustments made pursuant to an ESG Amendment shall not result in an increase (if specified KPIs or ESG ratings targets are not achieved) or decrease (if specified KPIs or ESG ratings targets are achieved) of more than 2.00 basis points in the Applicable Margin for Loans that are SOFR Loans and the Applicable Margin for Loans that are Base Rate Loans from those set forth herein on the Effective Date; provided further, that in no event shall the Applicable Margin for Loans that are SOFR Loans and the Applicable Margin for Loans that are Base Rate Loans be less than zero. If KPIs are utilized, the pricing adjustments will require, among other things, reporting and validation by a Sustainability Metric Auditor of the measurement of the KPIs in a manner that is aligned with the Sustainability Linked Loan Principles (as published in May 2021 by the Loan Market Association, Asia Pacific Loan Market Association and Loan Syndications & Trading Association or as more recently published) and is to be agreed between the Borrower and the Sustainability Structuring Agent (each acting reasonably). Following the effectiveness of the ESG Amendment, any modification to the ESG Pricing Provisions which does not have the effect of reducing the Applicable Margin for Loans that are SOFR Loans and the Applicable Margin for Loans that are Base Rate Loans to a level not otherwise permitted by this paragraph shall be subject only to the consent of the Borrower and the Requisite Lenders.

138

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitments of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased, reinstated or extended without the written consent of such Defaulting Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the written consent of such Defaulting Lender. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.6., if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in any provision of this Agreement or an inconsistency between provisions of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision or provisions to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency so long as to do so would not adversely affect the interests of the Lenders. Any such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement, provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide the Lenders with a copy of any such amendment.

Section 12.7.Nonliability of Administrative Agent and Lenders.

The relationship between the Borrower and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Parent or the Borrower and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Lender, the Parent, the Borrower, any Subsidiary of the Parent or the Borrower or any other Loan Party. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower or the Parent to review or inform the Borrower or the Parent of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s or Parent’s business or operations. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the Borrower and each other Loan Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that (a) the credit facilities provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Borrower, each other Loan Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative

139

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand; (b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has assumed or will assume any advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower or any other Loan Party with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading hereto (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates has advised or is currently advising the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates on other matters) and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any obligation to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (c) the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship.

Section 12.8.Confidentiality.

The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall use reasonable efforts to assure that information about the Borrower, the Parent, the other Loan Parties and other Subsidiaries of the Parent and the Borrower, and the Properties thereof and their operations, affairs and financial condition, not generally disclosed to the public, which is furnished to the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, is used only for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall not be divulged to any Person other than the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and their respective agents who are actively and directly participating in the evaluation, administration or enforcement of the Loan Documents and other transactions between the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, and the Borrower and the Parent, but in any event the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may make disclosure: (a) to any of their respective Affiliates (provided such Affiliates shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section 12.8.); (b) as reasonably requested by any bona fide Eligible Assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with the contemplated transfer of any Commitment or participations therein as permitted hereunder (provided they shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section); (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings; (d) to the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the information); (e) after the happening and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to any other Person, in connection with the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of rights hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents; (f) upon Borrower’s prior consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), to any contractual counter-parties to any swap or similar hedging agreement or to any rating agency; (g) to the extent such information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section actually known to such Lender to be such a breach or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Parent, the Borrower or any Affiliate, and (h) with the consent of the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose any such confidential information, upon notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, to the extent practicable (provided, that, any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to

140

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

give such notice to the Borrower or any Loan Party shall not subject the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any liability which may arise from such failure to give notice), to Governmental Authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or in accordance with the regulatory compliance policy of the Administrative Agent or such Lender.

Section 12.9.Indemnification.

(a)The Borrower shall and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, each of the Lenders, any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, or any Lender, and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, agents, employees and counsel (each referred to herein as an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all of the following (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”): losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses of every kind and nature (including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, court costs and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding or any advice rendered in connection therewith, but excluding losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses indemnification in respect of which is specifically covered by Section 3.12. or 4.1. or expressly excluded from the coverage of such Sections 3.12. or 4.1.) incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with, arising out of, or by reason of, any suit, cause of action, claim, arbitration, investigation or settlement, consent decree or other proceeding (the foregoing referred to herein as an “Indemnity Proceeding”) which is in any way related directly or indirectly to: (i) this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby; (ii) the making of any Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder; (iii) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit; (iv) the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s entering into this Agreement; (v) the fact that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have established the credit facility evidenced hereby in favor of the Borrower; (vi) the fact that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are creditors of the Borrower and have or are alleged to have information regarding the financial condition, strategic plans or business operations of the Parent, the Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries; (vii) the fact that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are material creditors of the Borrower and are alleged to influence directly or indirectly the business decisions or affairs of the Parent, the Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries or their financial condition; (viii) the exercise of any right or remedy the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (ix) any civil penalty or fine assessed by the OFAC against, and all reasonable costs and expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with defense thereof by, the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of conduct of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary that violates a sanction enforced by the OFAC; or (x) any violation or non-compliance by the Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Applicable Law (including any Environmental Law) including, but not limited to, any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by (A) the Internal Revenue Service or state taxing authority or (B) any Governmental Authority or other Person under any Environmental Law, including any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by a Governmental Authority or other Person seeking remedial or other action to cause the Parent, the Borrower or their respective Subsidiaries (or its respective properties) (or the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders as successors to the Borrower) to be in compliance with

141

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

such Environmental Laws; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party for (A) any acts or omissions of such Indemnified Party in connection with matters described in this subsection to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment or (B) Indemnified Costs to the extent arising directly out of or resulting directly from claims of one or more Indemnified Parties against another Indemnified Party.

(b)The Borrower’s indemnification obligations under this Section 12.9. shall apply to all Indemnity Proceedings arising out of, or related to, the foregoing whether or not an Indemnified Party is a named party in such Indemnity Proceeding. In this regard, this indemnification shall cover all Indemnified Costs of any Indemnified Party in connection with any deposition of any Indemnified Party or compliance with any subpoena (including any subpoena requesting the production of documents). This indemnification shall, among other things, apply to any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by other creditors of the Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, any shareholder of the Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary (whether such shareholder(s) are prosecuting such Indemnity Proceeding in their individual capacity or derivatively on behalf of the Borrower or the Parent), any account debtor of the Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or by any Governmental Authority. If indemnification is to be sought hereunder by an Indemnified Party, then such Indemnified Party shall notify the Borrower in writing of the commencement of any Indemnity Proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Borrower shall not relieve the Borrower from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 12.9.

(c)This indemnification shall apply to any Indemnity Proceeding arising during the pendency of any bankruptcy proceeding filed by or against the Parent, the Borrower and/or any Subsidiary.

(d)All out-of-pocket fees and expenses of, and all amounts paid to third-persons by, an Indemnified Party shall be advanced by the Borrower at the request of such Indemnified Party notwithstanding any claim or assertion by the Borrower that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, upon receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Party that such Indemnified Party will reimburse the Borrower if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not so entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(e)An Indemnified Party may conduct its own investigation and defense of, and may formulate its own strategy with respect to, any Indemnity Proceeding covered by this Section and, as provided above, all Indemnified Costs incurred by such Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Borrower. No action taken by legal counsel chosen by an Indemnified Party in investigating or defending against any such Indemnity Proceeding shall vitiate or in any way impair the obligations and duties of the Borrower hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless each such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if (i) the Borrower is required to indemnify an Indemnified Party pursuant hereto and (ii) the Borrower has provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party that the Borrower has the financial wherewithal to reimburse such Indemnified Party for any amount paid by such Indemnified Party with respect to such Indemnity Proceeding, such Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any such

142

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Borrower where (x) no monetary relief is sought against such Indemnified Party in such Indemnity Proceeding or (y) there is an allegation of a violation of law by such Indemnified Party.

(f)If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this Section are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law.

(g)The Borrower’s obligations under this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment in full in cash of the Obligations, and are in addition to, and not in substitution of, any other of their obligations set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party.

Section 12.10.Termination; Survival.

This Agreement shall terminate at such time as (a) all of the Commitments have been terminated, (b) all Letters of Credit have expired, have been cancelled or have otherwise terminated (other than Extended Letters of Credit in respect of which the Borrower has satisfied the requirements to provide Cash Collateral as required in Section 2.5.(b)), (c) none of the Lenders nor the Swingline Lender is obligated any longer under this Agreement to make any Loans and (d) all Obligations (other than obligations which survive as provided in the following sentence) have been paid and satisfied in full. The indemnities to which the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Swingline Lender are entitled under the provisions of Sections 3.12., 4.1., 4.4., 11.7., 12.2. and 12.9. and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the provisions of Section 12.4., shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Swingline Lender (i) notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or of the other Loan Documents, against events arising before such termination as well as, in the case of Sections 11.7., 12.4. and 12.9., after such termination and (ii) at all times after any such party ceases to be a party to this Agreement with respect to all matters and events existing on or prior to the date such party ceased to be a party to this Agreement.

Section 12.11.Severability of Provisions.

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

Section 12.12.GOVERNING LAW.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

Section 12.21. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.

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

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

146

4930-5233-2131, v. 14930-5233-2131, v. 9

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