(b)Borrowing Mechanics for Revolving Loans

(i)Except pursuant to Section 2.2(d), Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans shall be made in an aggregate minimum amount of the lesser of (A) $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount and (B) the unused Revolving Commitment, and Revolving Loans that are Term Benchmark Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount.

(ii)Whenever Company desires that Lenders make Revolving Loans, Company shall deliver to Agent a fully executed and delivered Funding Notice (A) no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed Credit Date in the case of a Term Benchmark Loan, and (B) no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day of the proposed Credit Date in the case of a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Funding Notice for a Revolving Loan that is a Term Benchmark Loan shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and Company shall be bound to make a borrowing in accordance therewith.

(iii)Notice of receipt of each Funding Notice in respect of Revolving Loans, together with the amount of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof, if any, together with the applicable interest rate, shall be provided by Agent to each applicable Lender by facsimile with

reasonable promptness, but (provided Agent shall have received such notice by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time)) not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the same day as Agent’s receipt of such Notice from Company.

(iv)Each Lender shall make the amount of its Revolving Loan available to Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Credit Date by wire transfer of same day funds in Dollars, at Agent’s Principal Office. Except as provided herein, upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein, Agent shall make the proceeds of such Revolving Loans available to Company on the applicable Credit Date by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Revolving Loans received by Agent from Lenders to be credited to the funding account of Company at PNC designated “Commercial Checking” on Schedule 4.29 or such other account as may be permitted by the Agent.

(v)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and in order to reduce the number of fund transfers among the Company, the Agent and the Lenders, the Company, Agent and the Lenders agree that the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), and Company and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent to, fund, on behalf of the Revolving Lenders, Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.1, subject to the procedures for settlement set forth in Sections 2.1(b)(viii) and (b)(ix); provided however that, (a) the Agent shall in no event fund any such Revolving Loans if the Agent shall have received written notice from the Required Lenders on the Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Revolving Loan that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 3.2 will not be satisfied at the time of the proposed Revolving Loan, and (b) the Agent shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent in Section 3.2 have been satisfied. If the Company gives a Funding Notice requesting a Revolving Loan and the Agent elects not to fund such Revolving Loan on behalf of the Revolving Lenders, then promptly after receipt of the Funding Notice requesting such Revolving Loan, the Agent shall notify Company and each Revolving Lender of the specifics of the requested Revolving Loan and that it will not fund the requested Revolving Loan on behalf of the Revolving Lenders. If the Agent notifies the Revolving Lenders that it will not fund a requested Revolving Loan on behalf of the Revolving Lenders, each Revolving Lender shall make its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan available to the Agent, in immediately available funds, in the Agent’s Account no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) (provided that, the Agent requests payment from such Revolving Lender not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time)) on the date of the proposed Revolving Loan. The Agent will make the proceeds of such Revolving Loans available to the Company on the day of the proposed Revolving Loan by causing an amount, in immediately available funds, equal to the proceeds of all such Revolving Loans received by the Agent in the Agent’s Account or the amount funded by the Agent on behalf of the Revolving Lenders to be deposited in an account designated by the Company.

(vi)If the Agent has notified the Revolving Lenders that the Agent, on behalf of the Revolving Lenders, will not fund a particular Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(v), the Agent may assume that each such Revolving Lender has made such amount available to the Agent on such day and the Agent, in its sole discretion, may, but shall not be obligated to, cause a corresponding amount to be made available to the Company on such day. If the Agent makes such corresponding amount available to the Company and such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Agent by any such Revolving Lender, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Revolving Lender together with

interest thereon, for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for three (3) Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. During the period in which such Revolving Lender has not paid such corresponding amount to the Agent, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the amount so advanced by the Agent to the Company shall, for all purposes hereof, be a Revolving Loan made by the Agent for its own account. Upon any such failure by a Revolving Lender to pay the Agent, the Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Company of such failure and the Company shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Agent for its own account.

(vii)Nothing in this Section 2.1 shall be deemed to relieve any Revolving Lender from its obligations to fulfill its Revolving Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Agent or the Company may have against any Revolving Lender as a result of any default by such Revolving Lender hereunder.

(viii)With respect to all periods for which the Agent has funded Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.1, on Friday of each week, or if the applicable Friday is not a Business Day, then on the following Business Day, or on the last Business Day of any shorter period as the Agent may from time to time select (any such week or shorter period being herein called a “Settlement Period”), the Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding as of the last day of each such Settlement Period. In the event that such amount is greater than the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding on the last day of the Settlement Period immediately preceding such Settlement Period (or, if there has been no preceding Settlement Period, the amount of the Revolving Loans made on the date of such Revolving Lender’s initial funding), each Revolving Lender shall promptly (and in any event not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) if the Agent requests payment from such Lender not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such day) make available to the Agent its Pro Rata Share of the difference in immediately available funds. In the event that such amount is less than such unpaid principal amount, the Agent shall promptly pay over to each Revolving Lender its Pro Rata Share of the difference in immediately available funds. In addition, if the Agent shall so request at any time when a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or any other event shall have occurred as a result of which the Agent shall determine that it is desirable to present claims against the Company for repayment, each Revolving Lender shall promptly remit to the Agent or, as the case may be, the Agent shall promptly remit to each Revolving Lender, sufficient funds to adjust the interests of the Revolving Lenders in the then-outstanding Revolving Loans to such an extent that, after giving effect to such adjustment, each such Revolving Lender’s interest in the then-outstanding Revolving Loans will be equal to its Pro Rata Share thereof. The obligations of the Agent and each Revolving Lender under this Section 2.1(b)(viii) shall be absolute and unconditional. Each Revolving Lender shall only be entitled to receive interest on its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans which have been funded by such Revolving Lender.

(ix)In the event that any Revolving Lender fails to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.1(b), the Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Revolving Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for three (3) Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate.

During the period in which such Revolving Lender has not paid such corresponding amount to the Agent, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the amount so advanced by the Agent to the Company shall, for all purposes hereof, be a Revolving Loan made by the Agent for its own account. Upon any such failure by a Revolving Lender to pay the Agent, the Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Company of such failure and the Company shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Agent for its own account. Nothing in this Section 2.1(b)(ix) shall be deemed to relieve any Revolving Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Revolving Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Agent or the Company may have against any Revolving Lender as a result of any default by such Revolving Lender hereunder.

(c)Protective Advances. Subject to the limitations set forth below, and whether or not an Event of Default or a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent is authorized by Company and the Lenders, from time to time in Agent’s sole discretion (but Agent shall have absolutely no obligation to), to make disbursements or advances to Company, which Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations, or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, payments of principal, interest, fees and reimbursable expenses (any of such Loans are in this clause (c) referred to as “Protective Advances”); provided, that after giving effect to the making of any Protective Advance in no event shall (A) the Total Revolving Usage exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect or (B) a Lender’s Revolving Usage exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions precedent set forth in Article III have not been satisfied. The interest rate on all Protective Advances shall be at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans. Each Protective Advance shall be secured by the Liens in favor of Agent in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Obligations hereunder. The Protective Advances shall constitute Obligations hereunder which may be charged to the Loan Account in accordance with Section 2.13(f). Company shall pay the unpaid principal amount and all unpaid and accrued interest of each Protective Advance on the earlier of the latest Revolving Commitment Termination Date and the date on which demand for payment is made by Agent. The Agent shall notify each Lender and Company in writing of each such Protective Advance, which notice shall include a description of the purpose of such Protective Advance. Without limitation to its obligations pursuant to Section 10.2(d), each Lender agrees that it shall make available to the Agent, upon the Agent’s demand, in Dollars in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each such Protective Advance. If such funds are not made available to the Agent by such Lender, Agent shall be entitled to recover such funds on demand from such Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the applicable Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for three (3) Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate.

Section 2.2Letters of Credit.

All disbursements or payments related to Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Revolving Loans and shall bear interest at the applicable rate in accordance with Section 2.6 and Section 2.8. Without prejudice to Section 2.9, Letters of Credit that have not been drawn upon shall not bear interest under Section 2.6.

Each standby Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600, and any amendments or revision thereof adhered to by the Issuer (“UCP 600”) or the International Standby Practices (ISP98- International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590), as determined by an Issuing Lender, and each trade Letter of Credit shall be subject to UCP 600.

(iii)Each Issuing Lender shall use its reasonable efforts to notify the Agent and the Lenders of the request by the Loan Parties for a Letter of Credit hereunder.

(c)Requirements For Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(i)The Company hereby authorizes and directs the Issuing Lenders to name one or more Loan Parties as the “Applicant” or “Account Party” of each Letter of Credit, as shall be set forth more particularly in the Letter of Credit Application. Company hereby authorizes and directs the Issuing Lenders to deliver to the Agent the Letter of Credit Application and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may have reasonably requested in connection therewith and to accept and rely upon the Agent’s instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with such Letter of Credit or the application therefor.

(ii)An Issuing Lender shall not be under any obligation to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit if:

(A)any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing, amending or extending such Letter of Credit, or any Applicable Law applicable to such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or require that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance, amendment or extension of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on the Closing Date and that such Issuing Lender in good faith deems material to it; or

(B)the issuance, amendment or extension of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Lender applicable to letters of credit generally.

(d)Disbursements, Reimbursement.

(i)Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable Issuing Lender a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Maximum Face Amount of such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively.

(ii)In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the applicable Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Company; provided, that if Company shall have received such notice by 10:00 a.m. (New York City time), the Loan Parties shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse such Issuing Lender or any Lender together with any interest thereon pursuant to Section 2.6 and Section 2.8 shall sometimes be referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation”) the Agent on behalf of the Issuing Lenders and the Revolving Lenders prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such date that an amount is paid by the Issuing Lenders and the Revolving Lenders under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Drawing Date”) in an amount equal to the amount so paid by the Issuing Lenders and the Revolving Lenders. In the event the Loan Parties fail to reimburse the Issuing Lenders and the

Revolving Lenders for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Drawing Date, the Agent will promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof, and the Company shall be deemed to have requested that a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan be made by the Revolving Lenders to be disbursed on the Drawing Date in respect of such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.1 and subject to Sections 3.1 and 3.2 hereof. Any notice given by the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.2(d)(ii) may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing; provided, that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(iii)Each Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.2(d)(ii) make available to the Agent an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount of the drawing, whereupon the participating Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.2(d)(iv)) each be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to Company in that amount. If any Revolving Lender so notified fails to make available to the Agent the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount by no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment (x) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three (3) days following the Drawing Date and (y) at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate on Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans on and after the 4th day following the Drawing Date. The Agent will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the Agent to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Revolving Lender to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligation under this Section 2.2(d)(iii), provided, that such Lender shall not be obligated to pay interest as provided in Section 2.2(d)(ii) until and commencing from the date of receipt of notice from the Agent of a drawing. Each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.2(d)(iii)(x) and (y) shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing and shall constitute a “Participation Revolving Loan” from such Lender in satisfaction of its Participation Commitment under this Section 2.2(d).

(iv)With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into a Revolving Loan to the Company in whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.2(d)(ii), because of Company’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 (other than any notice requirements) or for any other reason, Company shall be deemed to have incurred from the Revolving Lenders a borrowing (each a “Letter of Credit Borrowing”) in the amount of such drawing. Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum equal to the interest rate on Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans.

(v)Each Lender’s Participation Commitment shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (i) an Issuing Lender ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder; (ii) no Letter of Credit issued or created hereunder remains outstanding and uncanceled and (iii) all Persons (other than Company) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit; provided that, (A) upon the occurrence of the Revolving Commitment Termination Date in respect of the Non-Extending Class, all LC Exposure of the Lenders of such Non-Extending Class shall be reallocated among each other Lender with a Revolving Commitment on and after such date in accordance with

their respective Pro Rata Shares but only to the extent that such reallocation does not, as to any such Lender, cause such Lender’s Revolving Exposure to exceed its Revolving Commitment; (B) if the reallocation described in clause (A) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company shall within one Business Day following notice by the Agent Cash Collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lenders only the Company’s obligations corresponding to the LC Exposure of the Lenders of the Non-Extending Class (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A)) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8.1; and (C) if the LC Exposure of the other Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (A), then the fees payable to such Lenders pursuant to Section 2.9(a) and Section 2.9(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares.

(e)Repayment of Participation Revolving Loans.

(i)Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Agent for its account of immediately available funds from Company (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by the Agent under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a Participation Revolving Loan to the Agent or (ii) in payment of interest on such a payment made by the Agent under such a Letter of Credit, the Agent will pay to each Revolving Lender, in the same funds as those received by the Agent, the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such funds, except the Agent shall retain the amount of the Pro Rata Share of such funds of any Revolving Lender that did not make a Participation Revolving Loan in respect of such payment by the Agent.

(ii)If the Agent is required at any time to return to the Company, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any Insolvency Proceeding, any portion of the payments made by Company to the Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(e)(i) in reimbursement of a payment made under a Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each Revolving Lender shall, on demand of the Agent, forthwith return to the Agent the amount of its Pro Rata Share of any amounts so returned by the Agent plus interest at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

(f)Documentation. The Loan Parties agree to be bound by the terms of each Letter of Credit Application and by the applicable Issuing Lender’s interpretations of each Letter of Credit issued for the Loan Parties’ Loan Account and by the applicable Issuing Lender’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though the applicable Issuing Lender’s interpretations may be different from the Loan Parties’ own. In the event of a conflict between any Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable judgment), the Agent or Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following any Loan Party’s instructions or those contained in any Letter of Credit or any modification, amendment or supplement thereto.

(g)Determination to Honor Drawing Request. In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, such Issuing Lender shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit and that any other drawing condition appearing on the face of such Letter of Credit has been satisfied in the manner so set forth.

(h)Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations. Each Revolving Lender’s obligations in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Loans or Participation Revolving Loans as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit and to make any payments in respect of such Revolving Loans or Participation Revolving Loans, and the obligations of the Loan Parties to reimburse the Agent and/or the Issuing Lenders upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.2 under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

(i)any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against the Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Loan Parties or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;

(ii)the failure of the Loan Parties or any other Person to comply, in connection with a Letter of Credit Borrowing, with the conditions set forth in this Agreement for the making of a Revolving Loan (including, without limitation, if the Revolving Commitment has been fully utilized and drawn), it being acknowledged that such conditions are not required for the making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing and the obligation of the Revolving Lenders to make Participation Revolving Loans under Section 2.2(d);

(iii)any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

(iv)any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by any Loan Party or any Revolving Lender against the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, crossclaim, defense or other right which any Loan Party or any Revolving Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary, any successor beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Agent or any Revolving Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, such Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between the Loan Parties or any other party and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

(v)the lack of power or authority of any signer of (or any defect in or forgery of any signature or endorsement on) or the form of or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document presented under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, or any fraud or alleged fraud in connection with any Letter of Credit, or the transport of any property or provisions of services relating to a Letter of Credit, in each case even if the Agent or any of the Agent’s Affiliates has been notified thereof;

(vi)except as provided in Section 2.2(g), any payment by the Agent and/or Issuing Lenders under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(vii)the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a

Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic of any property or services relating to a Letter of Credit;

(viii)any failure by the Agent, an Issuing Lender or any of their respective Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by the Loan Parties, unless the Agent and/or an Issuing Lender has received written notice from the Company of such failure within three (3) Business Days after the Agent and/or an Issuing Lender shall have furnished Company a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;

(ix)any Material Adverse Effect on Company or any Guarantor;

(x)any breach of this Agreement or any Loan Document by any party thereto;

(xi)the occurrence or continuance of an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to the MLP, Company or any Guarantor;

(xii)the fact that a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(xiii)the fact that the Revolving Commitment Termination Date with respect to any Class shall have expired or this Agreement or the Obligations hereunder shall have been terminated; and

(xiv)any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

Nothing contained in this Section 2.2(h) shall be deemed to relieve an Issuing Lender from any claim by the Loan Parties for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender in respect of honoring or failing to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit or otherwise in respect of any Letter of Credit, but any such claim may not be used as a defense to the reimbursement obligation for any such drawing.

(i)Indemnity. In addition to amounts payable as provided in Section 10.2, the Loan Parties hereby agree to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Agent and the Issuing Lenders from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, Taxes (except for the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any taxes imposed on the net income of the Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender by the jurisdiction in which such Person is organized or has its principal lending office), penalties, interest, judgments, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of outside counsel (provided that, counsel shall be limited to (x) one counsel to all Persons, taken as a whole, and one local counsel as reasonably necessary in each relevant jurisdiction for all Persons, taken as a whole and (y) solely in the event of any actual conflict of interest, one additional counsel (and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) to each group of similarly situated affected Persons)) which the Agent, any Issuing Lender or any of their respective Affiliates may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit, other than as a result of (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or any Issuing Lender (as

determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable judgment) or (b) the wrongful dishonor by the Agent, any Issuing Lender, or any of the Agent’s or any Issuing Lender’s Affiliates of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit, except if such dishonor resulted from any Governmental Acts. The obligations of the Loan Parties under this Section 2.2(i) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. This Section 2.2(i) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

(j)Liability for Acts and Omissions.

(i)As between the Loan Parties and the Agent and the Lenders, the Loan Parties assume 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, the Agent and the Lenders shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if the Agent shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such 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) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of the Loan Parties against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among Loan Parties and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph 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 drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Agent and/or any Issuing Lender, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the Agent’s and/or an Issuing Lender’s rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve the Agent or an Issuing Lender from liability for the Agent’s and/or an Issuing Lender’s, as applicable, gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable judgment) in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall the Agent, any Issuing Lender or their respective Affiliates be liable to the Loan Parties for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent, the Issuing Lenders and each of their respective Affiliates (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by the Agent, an Issuing Lender or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit, (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face substantially to comply with the terms

and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by the Agent, any Lender or its Affiliates; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on the Agent, an Issuing Lender or their Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an “Order”) and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

(iii)In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by the Agent or an Issuing Lender under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any documents or certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, in compliance with UCP 600 and ISP 98 Rules, as applicable, and without gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable judgment), shall not put the Agent or any Issuing Lender under any resulting liability to any Loan Party or any Lender.

(k)Replacement and Resignation of an Issuing Lender.

(i)An Issuing Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Agent, Company and the replaced Issuing Lender and, if required by the foregoing Persons, the successor(s) Issuing Lender(s) (whose Specified L/C Sublimit shall not be needed to be greater that the Specified L/C Sublimit of the replaced Issuing Lender). The Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, Company shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.9(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (x) the successor Issuing Lender(s) shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (y) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Lender, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Lenders hereunder, the replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or extend or otherwise amend any existing Letter of Credit.

(ii)Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Lender unless agreed by the Company and other Issuing Lenders, any Issuing Lender may resign as an Issuing Lender at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Agent, Company and

the Lenders, in which case, such resigning Issuing Lender shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.2(k)(i).

(l)Letters of Credit Issued for Account of Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder supports any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, or states that a Subsidiary is the “account party,” “applicant,” “customer,” “instructing party,” or the like of or for such Letter of Credit, and without derogating from any rights of the applicable Issuing Lender (whether arising by contract, at law, in equity or otherwise) against such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit, Company (i) shall reimburse, indemnify and compensate the applicable Issuing Lender hereunder for such Letter of Credit (including to reimburse any and all drawings thereunder) as if such Letter of Credit had been issued solely for the account of Company and (ii) irrevocably waives any and all defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of any or all of the obligations of such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit. Company hereby acknowledges that the issuance of such Letters of Credit for its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of Company, and that Company’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

Section 2.3Pro Rata Shares. All Loans shall be made, and all participations purchased, by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby nor shall any Revolving Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby.

Section 2.4Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans, if any, made on the Closing Date shall be used by Company for general working capital purposes of the Loan Parties and to pay fees and expenses related to this Agreement and Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed issued as Letters of Credit under this Agreement on the Closing Date. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans, and Letters of Credit made after the Closing Date shall be applied by Company for (a) working capital and general corporate purposes of Company and its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business; (b) settlement payments in respect of the Eddystone Settlement, or, in the case of the Eddystone Settlement LCs, to secure payment obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries or the MLP in respect of the Eddystone Settlement; or (c) one or more distributions to MLP for the sole purpose of satisfying the MLP’s payment obligations in respect of the Eddystone Settlement pursuant to Section 6.4(e). No portion of the proceeds of any Credit Extension shall be used in any manner that causes or might cause such Credit Extension or the application of such proceeds to violate Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation thereof or to violate the Exchange Act.

Section 2.5Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders’ Books and Records; Notes.

(a)Lenders’ Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of Company to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Company, absent manifest error; provided,

that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Revolving Commitments or Company’s Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans; and provided, further, in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.

(b)Register. Agent shall maintain at its Principal Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the principal amount of the Revolving Commitments and Loans (and stated interest therein) of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by Company or Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Agent shall record in the Register the Revolving Commitments and the Loans, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Company and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided, failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Revolving Commitments or Company’s Obligations in respect of any Loan. Company hereby designates the entity serving as Agent to serve as Company’s non-fiduciary agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.5, and Company hereby agrees that, to the extent such entity serves in such capacity, the entity serving as Agent and its officers, directors, employees, Agent and affiliates shall constitute “Indemnitees.”

(c)Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to Company (with a copy to Agent) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or at any time thereafter, Company shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 10.5) on the Closing Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly after Company’s receipt of such notice) a Note.

Section 2.6Interest.

(a)Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as follows: (i) if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; (ii) if a Term Benchmark Loan, at the Term SOFR Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or (iii) if an RFR Loan, at Daily Simple SOFR plus the Applicable Margin.

(b)The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan, and the Interest Period with respect to any Term Benchmark Loan, shall be selected by Company and notified to Agent and Lenders pursuant to the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be. If on any day a Loan is outstanding with respect to which a Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice has not been delivered to Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day such Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan.

(c)In connection with Term Benchmark Loans there shall be no more than ten (10) Interest Periods outstanding at any time. In the event Company fails to specify between a Base Rate Loan or a Term Benchmark Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Loan (if outstanding as a Term Benchmark Loan) will be

automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then-current Interest Period for such Loan (or if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, a Base Rate Loan). In the event Company fails to specify an Interest Period for any Term Benchmark Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, Company shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Term Benchmark Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and each Lender.

(d)Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.6(a) shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year (other than interest payable with respect to Base Rate Loans which shall be computed on the basis of a 365/366 day year), in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a Term Benchmark Loan, the date of conversion of such Term Benchmark Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a Term Benchmark Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such Term Benchmark Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

(e)Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan of a given Class shall be payable in cash and in arrears on and to (i) each Interest Payment Date applicable to that Loan, (ii) upon any prepayment of that Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid, and (iii) at the Revolving Commitment Termination Date with respect to such Class of Loans.

Section 2.7Conversion/Continuation.

(a)Subject to Section 2.15, Company shall have the option:

(i)to convert at any time all or any part of any Revolving Loan equal to $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount from one Type of Loan to another Type of Loan; provided, that a Term Benchmark Loan may only be converted on the expiration of the Interest Period applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan unless Company shall pay all amounts due under Section 2.15 in connection with any such conversion, no Base Rate Loan may be converted into a Term Benchmark Loan when a Default or Event of Default exists and no Term Benchmark Loan may be continued as a Term Benchmark Loan when a Default or Event of Default exists; or

(ii)upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Term Benchmark Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan equal to $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount as a Term Benchmark Loan.

(b)Company shall deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice to Agent no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Term Benchmark Loan). Except as otherwise provided herein, a Conversion/Continuation Notice for conversion to, or continuation of, any Term Benchmark Loans (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and Company shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith.

Section 2.8Default Interest. Automatically upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 8.1(f) or Section 8.1(g), or otherwise upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon the Agent providing written notice to the Company, the principal amount of all Loans outstanding and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any interest payments on the Loans or fees or other amounts owed hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable on demand at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans); provided, in the case of Term Benchmark Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in interest rate is effective such Term Benchmark Loans shall thereupon become Base Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans; provided, further, all overdue, interest fees or other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall bear interest payable on demand at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate payable hereunder with respect to Base Rate Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.8 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Agent or any Lender.

Section 2.9Fees.

(a)If, for any day in each calendar quarter during the Revolving Commitment Period, the daily unpaid balance of the Total Revolving Usage for each day of such calendar quarter does not equal the aggregate Revolving Commitments, then the Company shall pay to Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders) having a Revolving Commitment, a fee at a rate equal to the percentage indicated in the definition of “Applicable Margin” per annum on the amount by which the aggregate Revolving Commitments on such day exceeds such Total Revolving Usage.

All fees shall be paid to Agent as set forth in Section 2.13(a) and upon receipt, Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender having Revolving Exposure, its Pro Rata Share thereof.

All fees shall be calculated on the basis of 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on or before the date which is fifteen (15) days after the end of each quarter during the Revolving Commitment Period, commencing on the first such date to

occur after the Closing Date, and, with respect to any Class of Revolving Commitments, on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date in respect of such Class.

(b)Company agrees to pay (i) to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Lenders, a Letter of Credit fee (in addition to the charges, commissions, fees and costs set forth in clause (ii) below) which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the L/C Fee Rate in effect at such time, times the aggregate daily face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit, for the period from and excluding the date of issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or termination, such fees to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed and to be payable quarterly in arrears on or before the date which is fifteen (15) days after the end of each quarter and, with respect to any Class of Revolving Commitments, on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date in respect of such Class, and (ii) to an Issuing Lender, (A) a fronting fee in an amount agreed to with such Issuing Lender, and (B) any and all customary administrative, issuance, amendment, payment and negotiation charges (as per such Issuing Lender’s standard fee schedule) with respect to any Letters of Credit and all fees and expenses as agreed upon by an Issuing Lender and the Company in connection with any Letter of Credit, including in connection with the opening, amendment or renewal of any such Letter of Credit and any acceptances created thereunder and shall reimburse the Agent for any and all fees and expenses, if any, paid by the Agent to such Issuing Lender, which charges and fees shall be payable on demand or as otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Agent and the Company (all of the foregoing fees and charges, collectively, the “Letter of Credit Fees”). Any such charge in effect at the time of a particular transaction shall be the charge for that transaction, notwithstanding any subsequent change in such Issuing Lender’s prevailing charges for that type of transaction. All Letter of Credit Fees payable hereunder shall be deemed earned in full on the date when the same are due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or pro-ration upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

(c)In addition to any of the foregoing fees, Company agrees to pay to Agent, for itself or on behalf of the Lenders, all fees payable by it in the Fee Letters in the amounts and at the times specified therein.

Section 2.11Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions.

(a)Excess Cash. If (i) Availability is less than 50% of the Revolving Commitments and (ii) the Loan Parties have Excess Cash, in each case, as of the end of the last Business Day of any calendar week, then the Company shall, on the immediately following Business Day, prepay Revolving Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount of such Excess Cash and (y) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans then outstanding.

Section 2.12Application of Prepayments/Reductions.

(a)Application of Voluntary Prepayments of Revolving Loans. Any prepayment of any Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.10 shall be applied, at any time an Application Event does not exist, to repay the principal of the Revolving Loans until paid in full.

(b)Application of Prepayments by Type of Loans. So long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing, any mandatory prepayment of any Loan pursuant to Section 2.11(b) shall be applied as follows:

first, to prepay the principal of the Revolving Loans until paid in full by the amount of such prepayment; and

second, to provide Cash Collateralization in respect of all outstanding Letters of Credit;

(c)Application of Prepayments of Loans to Base Rate Loans, Term Benchmark Loans and RFR Loans. Considering each Class of Loans being prepaid separately, any prepayment thereof shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof, next to RFR Loans and finally to Term Benchmark Loans, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by Company pursuant to Section 2.13(k).

(d)Application Events. At any time an Application Event has occurred and is continuing, all payments shall be applied pursuant to Section 2.13(h). Nothing contained herein shall modify the provisions of Section 2.10(c), Section 2.10(d) or Section 2.13(b) regarding the requirement that all prepayments be accompanied by accrued interest and fees on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of such prepayment, or any requirement otherwise contained herein to pay all other amounts as the same become due and payable.

Section 2.13General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(a)All payments by Company of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds, without defense, recoupment, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to Agent, for the account of Lenders, not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) to Agent’s Account or via wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Agent; funds received by Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by Company on the next Business Day.

(b)All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan (other than voluntary prepayments of Revolving Loans) shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid and all commitment fees and other amounts payable with respect to the principal amount being repaid or prepaid.

(c)Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due with respect thereto, including, without limitation, all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by Agent.

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions hereof, if any Conversion/Continuation Notice is withdrawn as to any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(a) or if any Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any Term Benchmark Loans pursuant to Section 2.18(a), Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter.

(e)Subject to the provisos set forth in the definition of “Interest Period,” whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the commitment fees hereunder.

(f)If Company shall have failed to remit payment to Agent (or its sub agent) when due (after giving effect to applicable grace periods) of principal, interest, fees, expenses or any other amounts due hereunder or under any Loan Document (each a “Required Payment”), Company agrees that Agent (or it sub agent) is hereby authorized to, at its election, either (a) debit such Required Payment from Company’s deposit accounts with Agent (or its sub agent) or any of its Affiliates (subject to sufficient funds being available in such deposit accounts for that purpose) or (b) charge such Required Payment to the Loan Account when due (after giving effect to applicable grace periods). Each of the Lenders and Company agrees that Agent (or its sub agent) shall have the right to make such charges to the Loan Account whether or not any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or whether any of the conditions precedent in Section 3.2 have been satisfied. Any amount charged to the Loan Account shall be deemed a Revolving Loan hereunder made by the Lenders to Company, funded by Agent on behalf of the Lenders and subject to Section 2.1; provided, however, if any such amount is charged to the Loan Account at any time when Agent (or its sub agent) has actual knowledge that the Company is not able to meet the conditions in Section 3.2, the making of a Revolving Loan shall not constitute a representation and warranty that the conditions in Section 3.2 are satisfied as of such date. The Lenders and Company confirm that any charges which Agent (or it sub agent) may so make to the Loan Account as herein provided will be made as an accommodation to Company and solely at Agent’s (or its sub agent’s) discretion, provided, that Agent (or its sub agent) shall from time to time upon the request of Agent, charge the Loan Account of Company with any Required Payment.

(g)Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of Company hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by Agent until the later

of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to Company and each applicable Lender (confirmed in writing) if any payment is non-conforming. Any non- conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 8.1(a). Interest and Letter of Credit Fees shall continue to accrue on any principal or Letter of Credit outstanding as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the Default Rate determined pursuant to Section 2.8 from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.

(h)At any time an Application Event has occurred and is continuing, or the maturity of the Obligations shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.1, all payments or proceeds received by the Agent hereunder or under any Collateral Document in respect of any of the Obligations, including, but not limited to all proceeds received by the Agent in respect of any sale, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral, but excluding any “adequate protection” payments that may be paid in an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to the Obligations, shall, unless otherwise agreed in a written agreement by and among the Agent and the Lenders, be applied in full or in part as follows:

first, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any fees, expense reimbursements, indemnities and other amounts then due and payable to the Agent until paid in full;

second, ratably to pay interest then due and payable in respect of Protective Advances until paid in full;

third, ratably to pay principal of Protective Advances then due and payable until paid in full;

fourth, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any fees and indemnities then due and payable to the Lenders until paid in full;

fifth, ratably to pay (i) interest then due and payable in respect of the Revolving Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and (ii) regularly scheduled payments under Lender-Provided Hedging Agreements until paid in full;

sixth, ratably to pay (i) principal of the Revolving Loans and the Letter of Credit Obligations (or, to the extent such Obligations are contingent, to provide Cash Collateralization in respect of such Obligations) until paid in full and (ii) to the extent not paid under clause fifth above, the Bank Product Obligations; and

seventh, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations then due and payable until paid in full.

(i)For purposes of Section 2.13(h) (other than clause seventh of Section 2.13(h)), “paid in full” means payment in cash of all amounts owing under the Loan Documents according to the terms thereof, including loan fees, service fees, professional fees, interest (and specifically including interest accrued after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding),

default interest, interest on interest, and expense reimbursements, whether or not same would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any Insolvency Proceeding, except to the extent that default or overdue interest (but not any other interest) and loan fees, each arising from or related to a default, are disallowed in any Insolvency Proceeding; provided, however, that for the purposes of clause seventh of Section 2.13(h), “paid in full” means payment in cash of all amounts owing under the Loan Documents according to the terms thereof, including loan fees, service fees, professional fees, interest (and specifically including interest accrued after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding), default interest, interest on interest, and expense reimbursements, whether or not the same would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any Insolvency Proceeding.

(j)In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of Section 2.13(h) and other provisions contained in any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that both such priority provisions in such documents shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of Section 2.13(h) shall control and govern.

(k)In the event of (i) the payment of any principal of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (ii) the conversion of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iii) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Term Benchmark Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked), or (iv) the assignment of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 2.20, then, in any such event, the Company shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(l)In the event of (i) the payment of any principal of any RFR Loan other than on the Interest Payment Date applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (ii) the failure to prepay any RFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked) or (iii) the assignment of any RFR Loan other than on the Interest Payment Date applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 2.20, then, in any such event, the Company shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.14Ratable Sharing. Lenders hereby agree among themselves that, except as otherwise provided in the Collateral Documents with respect to amounts realized from the exercise of rights with respect to Liens on the Collateral, if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action

or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of Letters of Credit, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender having Loans of the same Class, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders having Loans of the same Class in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Company or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Company expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by Company to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.

Section 2.15Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a)Subject to clauses (b), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 2.15, if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing:

(i)the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Term SOFR Rate (including because the Term SOFR Reference Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period or (B) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Daily Simple SOFR; provided, that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time, or

(ii)the Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Term SOFR Rate for the applicable Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period or (B) at any time, Daily Simple SOFR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing,

then the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Agent notifies the Company

and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any Conversion/Continuation Notice that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing shall be ineffective and (B) if any Borrowing Request requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as (x) an RFR Borrowing so long as Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 2.15(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) a Base Rate Borrowing if Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 2.15(a)(i) or (ii) above. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Company’s receipt of the notice from the Agent referred to in this Section 2.15(a) with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until (x) the Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Company delivers a new Conversion/Continuation Notice or a new Borrowing Request, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) an RFR Borrowing so long as Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 2.15(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) a Base Rate Loan if Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 2.15(a)(i) or (ii) above, on such day, and (2) any RFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Agent to, and shall constitute a Base Rate Loan.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any Swap Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.15), if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark (including any related adjustments) for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

(c)[Reserved].

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

(e)The Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.15, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.15.

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

(g)Upon the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Company may revoke any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Company will be deemed to have converted any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to (A) an RFR Borrowing so long as Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) a Base Rate Borrowing if Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event. 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 the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.15, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) an RFR Borrowing so long as Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) a Base Rate Loan if Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a

Benchmark Transition Event, on such day and (2) any RFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Agent to, and shall constitute a Base Rate Loan.

Subject to the provisions of Section 2.17 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender (which term shall include Issuing Lenders for purposes of this Section 2.16(a)) shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a court or Governmental Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any central bank or other governmental or quasi-Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law): (i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to any additional Tax (other than any (A) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder, (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender, or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than Taxes) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, Company shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to Company (with a copy to Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.16(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

(b)Capital Adequacy Adjustment. In the event that any Lender (which term shall include Issuing Lenders for purposes of this Section 2.16(b)) shall have determined that the adoption, effectiveness, phase in or applicability after the Closing Date of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital or liquidity adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital or liquidity adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence

of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Loans or Revolving Commitments or Letters of Credit, or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital or liquidity adequacy), then from time to time, within five (5) Business Days after receipt by Company from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, Company shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation on an after tax basis for such reduction. Such Lender shall deliver to Company (with a copy to Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.16(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

Section 2.17Taxes; Withholding, etc.

(a)Withholding of Taxes. All sums payable by any Loan Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall (except to the extent required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax, other than (i) Taxes imposed on or measured by the recipient’s net income (however denominated), branch profits Taxes and franchise Taxes imposed on the recipient, in each case, (A) by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such recipient is organized or in which its principal office is located or, in the case of any Lender, in which its applicable lending office is located or (B) as the result of any other present or former connection between such recipient and the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (other than connections arising from such recipient having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to or enforced any Loan Document ) (“Other Connection Taxes”), (ii) in the case of a Lender, United States federal income withholding Taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of such Lender pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto (other than a Replacement Lender that becomes a party hereto pursuant to an assignment request under Section 2.20) or such Lender changes its lending office, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the extent that, pursuant to this Section 2.17 amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable either to such Lender’s assignor immediately before such Lender became a party hereto or to such Lender immediately before it changed its lending office, (iii) Taxes attributable to such recipient’s failure to comply with Section 2.17(d), and (iv) Taxes imposed under FATCA (“Excluded Taxes”, and all such non-Excluded Taxes, collectively or individually, “Indemnified Taxes”). If any Loan Party or any other Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Indemnified Tax or Other Tax from any sum paid or payable by any Loan Party to the Agent or any Lender (which term shall include Issuing Lenders for purposes of this Section 2.17(a)) under any of the Loan Documents: (A) such Loan Party shall pay any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on any Loan Party) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of such Agent or such Lender, (B) the sum payable by such Loan Party shall be increased to the extent necessary so that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment, such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made, and (C) within thirty days after paying any sum

from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, Company shall deliver to Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other Governmental Authority.

(b)Other Taxes. The Loan Parties shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authorities, without duplication of any other obligation in this Section 2.17, any present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar Taxes that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment, other than an assignment pursuant to a request made pursuant to Section 2.20 (“Other Taxes”). Within thirty days after paying any such Other Taxes, each Loan Party shall deliver to Agent evidence that such Other Taxes have been paid to the relevant Governmental Authority.

(c)Tax Indemnification. The Loan Parties hereby jointly and severally, without duplication of any other obligation in this Section 2.17, indemnify and agree to hold each Agent and Lender harmless from and against all Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on any amounts payable under this Section 2.17) paid by such Person or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Person and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Such indemnification shall be paid within ten days from the date on which the Agent or Lender makes written demand therefor specifying in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes.

(d)Evidence of Exemption From U.S. Withholding Tax.

(i)Each Lender (which term shall include Issuing Lenders for purposes of this Section 2.17(d)(i)) that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for United States federal income tax purposes (a “Non-US Lender”) shall deliver to the Agent (for transmission to Company upon Company’s written request), on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each such Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date such Person becomes a Lender hereunder, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Agent (in its reasonable exercise of its discretion), (A) two copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments), W-8BEN (or W-8BEN-E) or W-8ECI (or any successor forms), as applicable, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of interest under any of the Loan Documents, and (B) if such Lender is claiming exemption from United States federal income tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, a Certificate Regarding Non-Bank Status, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender. Notwithstanding the above, a Non-US Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.17(d)(i) that such Non-US Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(ii)If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States 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 Company and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Company or the 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 Company or the Agent as may be necessary for Company and the 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 Section 2.17(d)(ii), FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii)Each Lender that is a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for United States federal income tax purposes shall deliver to the Agent (for transmission to Company upon Company’s written request), on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each such Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date such Person becomes a Lender hereunder, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Agent (in its reasonable exercise of its discretion), two copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms) properly completed and duly executed by such Lender to establish that such Lender is not subject to United States backup withholding taxes with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Loan Documents.

(iv)On or before the date on which JPMorgan (and any successor or replacement Agent) becomes the Agent hereunder, it shall deliver to the Company two duly executed copies of either (A) IRS Form W-9 or (B) IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to any payment to be received on its own behalf and IRS Form W-8IMY (certifying that it is either a “qualified intermediary” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.1441-1(e)(5) that has assumed primary withholding obligations under the Internal Revenue Code, including Chapters 3 and 4 of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “U.S. branch” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) that is treated as a U.S. Person for purposes of withholding obligations under the Internal Revenue Code) for the amounts the Agent receives for the account of others.

Each Lender and the Agent (or, upon assignment or replacement, any assignee or successor) agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered under this Section 2.17(d) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update any such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and, in the case of a Lender, the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(e)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 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), 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 2.17 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 paragraph (e) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (e), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (e) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(f)Each Lender (which term shall include Issuing Lenders for purposes of this Section 2.17(f)) shall severally indemnify the Agent, within ten days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Loan Parties have not already indemnified the Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6(h)(ii) 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 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 Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this paragraph (f).

Section 2.18Illegality; Obligation to Mitigate.

(a)If any Lender reasonably determines that any change in Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any Term Benchmark Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Company through the Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue Term Benchmark Loans or to convert Base Rate Borrowings to Term SOFR Rate Borrowings, as the case may be, shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), convert all such Term SOFR Rate Borrowings of such Lender to Base Rate Borrowings on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain Term SOFR Rate Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Company shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

(b)Each Lender (which term shall include Issuing Lenders for purposes of this Section 2.18) agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible

for administering its Loans or Letters of Credit, as the case may be, becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.16, 2.17, or 2.18(a) it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (a) make, issue, fund or maintain its Credit Extensions, including any Loans affected by the circumstances detailed in Section 2.15, through another office of such Lender, or (b) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, 2.17, or 2.18(a) would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Revolving Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Revolving Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit or the interests of such Lender; provided, such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section 2.18 unless Company agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office as described above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by Company pursuant to this Section 2.18 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to Company (with a copy to Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.19Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a)any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 2.13 or otherwise) or received by the Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.3 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Lender; third, to Cash Collateralize Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with this Section; fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Revolving Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Agent and the Company, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Revolving Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize future Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with this Section; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Lenders against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Company as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Company against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; 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 Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit 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 Section 3.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Revolving Loans of, and Letter of Credit disbursements owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Revolving Loans of, and Letter of Credit disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in the Company’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Commitments without giving effect to clause (c) below. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(b)The Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or Super Majority Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.4); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby.

(c)If any Letters of Credit Obligations exist at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i)all or any part of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares but only to the extent that such reallocation does not, as to any non-Defaulting Lender, cause such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Exposure to exceed its Revolving Commitment;

(ii)if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company shall within one Business Day following notice by the Agent Cash Collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lenders only the Company’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8.1;

(iii)if the Company Cash Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Company shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.9(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is Cash Collateralized;

(iv)if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.9(a) and Section 2.9(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares; and

(v)if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor Cash Collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.9(a) or Section 2.9(b) (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) shall be payable to the Issuing Lenders until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or Cash Collateralized; and

(d)In the event that each of the Agent, the Company, and each Issuing Lender agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders as the Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share.

Section 2.20Removal or Replacement of a Lender. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a)(i)(A) any Lender (an “Increased Cost Lender”) shall give notice to Company that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.16 or 2.17, or (B) any Lender shall give notice to Agent that such Lender cannot make Term Benchmark Loans as contemplated by Section 2.18(a), (ii) the circumstances which entitle such Lender to receive such payments or are affecting such Lender under Section 2.18(a) shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five (5) Business Days after Company’s request for such withdrawal; or (b) (i) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender and (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default as a result of which it has become a Defaulting Lender within five (5) Business Days after Company’s request that it cure such default; or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 10.4(b), the consent of Agent and Required Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each such Increased Cost Lender, Lender giving notice under Section 2.18(a), Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), Agent may (which, in the case of an Increased-Cost Lender, only after receiving written request from Company to remove such Increased-Cost Lender), by giving written notice to Company and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans and its Revolving Commitments, if any, in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.5 and Terminated Lender shall pay any fees payable thereunder in connection with such assignment; provided, (1) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to Terminated Lender an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender, (B) an amount equal to all unreimbursed drawings that have been funded by such Terminated Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.9; (2) on the date of such assignment, Company shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.17; and (3) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the

time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender; provided, Agent may not make such election with respect to any Terminated Lender that is also an Issuing Lender unless, prior to the effectiveness of such election, Agent shall have caused each outstanding Letter of Credit issued thereby to be cancelled. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the termination of such Terminated Lender’s Revolving Commitments, if any, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender. Each party hereto agrees that (x) an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment Agreement executed by the Company, the Agent and the assignee (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment Agreement by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Agent and such parties are participants), and (y) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to an be bound by the terms thereof; provided, that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender; provided, that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.

Section 2.21Revolving Commitment Increases.

(a)Requests for Incremental Revolving Commitments. Upon notice to the Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders) at any time after the Seventh Amendment Effective Date but prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, the Company may request additional revolving loan commitments or increases in the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments (each such additional commitment or increase, a “Revolving Commitment Increase” and all of them, collectively, the “Revolving Commitment Increases”); provided that after giving effect to any Revolving Commitment Increase, the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitment Increases that have been added hereunder shall not exceed $50,000,000 after the Seventh Amendment Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) each Revolving Commitment Increase effected pursuant to this Section 2.21 shall be in a minimum amount of at least $15,000,000 and (ii) no more than three Revolving Commitment Increases may be effected after the Seventh Amendment Effective Date.

(b)Notices; Lender Elections. The notice from the Company to the Agent delivered pursuant to Section 2.21(a) shall set forth the requested amount of such increase. At the time of the sending of such notice, the Company shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders). Revolving Commitment Increases (or any portion thereof) may be made by any existing Lender or by any other bank or financial institution (any such bank or other financial institution, an “Incremental Lender”), in each case on terms permitted in this Section 2.21 and otherwise on terms reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Company, provided that, solely with respect to any Incremental Lender that is not an existing Lender, the Agent and the Issuing Lender shall have consented (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to such Incremental Lender’s providing such Revolving Commitment Increase if such consent would be required under Section 10.5 for an assignment of Loans to such Incremental Lender. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Revolving

Commitment Increase, unless it so agrees in its sole discretion. Each Lender shall notify the Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to provide a Revolving Commitment Increase and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Pro Rata Share of such requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to provide a Revolving Commitment Increase. The Agent shall notify the Company and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase, the Company may also invite Eligible Assignees that are not existing Lenders to become Incremental Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Company.

(c)Incremental Facility Amendment. Revolving Commitment Increases shall become Revolving Commitments (or in the case of any Revolving Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Revolving Lender, an increase in such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Company, each Incremental Lender and the Agent. An Incremental Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21.

(d)Effective Date and Allocations. If any Revolving Commitment Increases are added in accordance with this Section 2.21, the Agent and the Company shall determine the effective date (the “Incremental Commitments Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such Revolving Commitment Increases. The Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of the final allocation of such Revolving Commitment Increases and the Incremental Commitments Effective Date, and such Revolving Commitment Increases shall become effective upon the Incremental Commitment Effective Date after satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 2.21(e).

(e)Conditions to Effectiveness. The effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Amendment shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the Agent, each Lender party thereto, if any, and the Incremental Lenders, be subject to the satisfaction on or prior to the Incremental Commitments Effective Date of each of the following conditions:

(i)the Agent shall have received each of the following, each dated the Incremental Commitments Effective Date unless otherwise indicated or agreed to by the Agent and each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent: (1) the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment; (2) certified copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors or similar governing body of each Loan Party or its general partner or member approving and authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of the Incremental Facility Amendment; and (3) a favorable opinion of counsel for the Loan Parties dated the Incremental Commitments Effective Date, as to such matters as Agent may reasonably request and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent;

(ii)the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2(a)(ii) and Section 3.2(a)(iii) shall have been satisfied both before and immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Facility Amendment (it being understood that all references to “Credit Extension”

100

Schedule 4.23 is a true, correct, and complete listing of all (i) registrations of Intellectual Property and all applications for registrations thereof owned by Company or one of its Subsidiaries and (ii) all licenses under which Company or one of its Subsidiaries is an exclusive licensee of registered or applied for Intellectual Property; provided, however, that Company and each of the Subsidiaries must amend Schedule 4.23 to add any additional Intellectual Property and licenses and such amendment must occur by written notice to Agent at the time that Company provides its Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 5.1(a). Each such registration and application that is material to the business of such Company or such Subsidiary is subsisting, and has not expired or been abandoned or cancelled. No proceeding is pending (or to the knowledge the Company or each Subsidiary, threatened) in which any Person is alleging that Company or any the Subsidiaries is infringing, misappropriating, diluting, or otherwise violating the Intellectual Property rights of any Person in any material respect. To the knowledge of Company and each Subsidiary, no Person is infringing the Intellectual Property owned by such Company or such Subsidiary.

Section 4.25Customers and Suppliers. There exists no actual or threatened termination, cancellation or limitation of, or modification to or change in, the business relationship between (a) any of Company or its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any customer or any group thereof, on the other hand, whose agreements with any of Company or its Subsidiaries are individually or in

112

the aggregate material to the business or operations of such Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or (b) any of Company or its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any supplier or any group thereof, on the other hand, whose agreements with any of Company or its Subsidiaries are individually or in the aggregate material to the business or operations of Company or its Subsidiaries, in each case, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There exists no present state of facts or circumstances that could give rise to or result in any such termination, cancellation, limitation, modification or change that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.26Insurance. (a)Each of Company and its Subsidiaries keeps its property adequately insured and maintains (i) insurance to such extent and against such risks, including fire, as is customary with companies in the same or similar businesses, (ii) workmen’s compensation insurance in the amount required by Applicable Law, (iii) public liability insurance, which shall include product liability insurance, in the amount customary with companies in the same or similar business against claims for personal injury or death on properties owned, occupied or controlled by it, and (iv) such other insurance as may be required by law or as may be reasonably required by Agent, including flood insurance. Schedule 4.26 sets forth a list of all insurance maintained by each Loan Party on the Seventh Amendment Effective Date.

(b)With respect to each Material Real Estate Asset that is a Flood Hazard Property, the Company and its Subsidiaries will (i) maintain, or cause to be maintained, with a financially sound and reputable insurer, flood insurance in an amount and otherwise sufficient to comply with all applicable rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to the Flood Laws, (ii) cooperate with the Agent and provide information reasonably required by the Agent to comply with the Flood Laws and (iii) promptly deliver to the Agent evidence of such compliance in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Agent, including, without limitation, evidence of annual renewals of such insurance.

Section 4.27Common Enterprise. The successful operation and condition of each of the Loan Parties is dependent on the continued successful performance of the functions of the group of the Loan Parties as a whole and the successful operation of each of the Loan Parties is dependent on the successful performance and operation of each other Loan Party. Each Loan Party expects to derive benefit (and its Board of Directors or other governing body has determined that it may reasonably be expected to derive benefit), directly and indirectly, from (a) successful operations of each of the other Loan Parties and (b) the credit extended by the Lenders to the Loan Parties hereunder, both in their separate capacities and as members of the group of companies. Each Loan Party has determined that execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and any other Loan Documents to be executed by such Loan Party is within its purpose, will be of direct and indirect benefit to such Loan Party, and is in its best interest.

Section 4.28Permits, Etc. Each Loan Party has, and is in compliance with, all permits, licenses, authorizations, approvals, entitlements and accreditations required for such Person lawfully to own, lease, manage or operate, or to acquire, each business currently owned, leased, managed or operated, or to be acquired, by such Person, which, if not obtained, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No condition exists or event has occurred which, in itself or with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would result in the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or non-renewal of any such permit, license,

113

authorization, approval, entitlement or accreditation, and there is no claim that any thereof is not in full force and effect, except, to the extent any such condition, event or claim could not be reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.30Security Interests. The Collateral Documents create in favor of Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral secured thereby, except to the extent such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by generally applicable principles of equity relating to enforceability.

Section 4.31Anti-Terrorism Laws. To the extent applicable, each Loan Party is in compliance with (a) the laws, regulations and Executive Orders administered by OFAC, and (b) the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended by the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT Act) of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”). Neither the Loan Parties nor any of their officers, directors, employees, Agent or shareholders acting on the Loan Parties’ behalf shall use the proceeds of the Loans to make any payments, directly or indirectly (including through any third party intermediary), to any Foreign Official in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or any other laws concerning or relating to bribery or corruption (collectively, “Anti-Corruption Laws”), or otherwise in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law. Each Loan Party represents and warrants that (i) no Covered Entity is a Sanctioned Person and (ii) no Covered Entity, either in its own right or, to its knowledge, through any third party, (A) has any of its assets in a Sanctioned Country or in the possession, custody or control of a Sanctioned Person in violation of any Anti- Terrorism Law, (B) does business in or with, or derives any of its income from investments in or transactions with, any Sanctioned Country or Sanctioned Person in violation of any Anti- Terrorism Law, or (C) engages in any dealings or transactions prohibited by any Anti-Terrorism Law.

Article VII

Guaranty

Section 7.1Guaranty of the Obligations.

(a)Each Guarantor jointly and severally with the other Guarantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, for the ratable benefit of the Beneficiaries and their respective successors, indorses and assigns, the due and punctual payment in full of all Obligations when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

(b)Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of the Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan

139

Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by the Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors.

(c)Each Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Article VII or affecting the rights and remedies of the Agent or any Beneficiary hereunder.

(d)No payment made by the Company, any other Loan Party with Obligations, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Agent or any other Beneficiary from the Company, any other Loan Party with Obligations, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations), remain liable for the Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Obligations are paid in full.

Section 7.2Contribution by Guarantors. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves, in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to any Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Guarantor, to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Guarantors multiplied by, (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations. “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to any Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the “Fair Share Contribution Amount” with respect to any Guarantor for purposes of this Section 7.2, any assets or liabilities of such Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to any Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including, without limitation, in respect of this Section 7.2), minus (b) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Guarantor from the other Guarantors as contributions under this Section 7.2. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Guarantor. The allocation among Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 7.2 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Guarantor hereunder.

140

Section 7.3Guaranty of Payment and Performance.

(a) Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of Company to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)), Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in Cash, to Agent for the ratable benefit of Beneficiaries, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for Company’s becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against Company for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Beneficiaries as aforesaid.

(b)Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally agrees with the other Guarantors, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment and performance when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Agent or any other Beneficiary to any security held for the payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Agent or any other Beneficiary in favor of the Company or any other person.

Section 7.4Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

(a)the Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or as otherwise permitted hereunder notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between Company and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;

(b)the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Company and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of Company, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against Company or any of such other guarantors and whether or not Company is joined in any such action or actions;

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

141

covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations);

(d)any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Beneficiary in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any such security, in each case as such Beneficiary in its discretion may determine consistent herewith and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or non-judicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against Company or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Loan Documents and Bank Product Agreements; and

(e)this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Loan Documents, the Bank Product Agreements, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Loan Documents, the Bank Product Agreements or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Loan Document, the Bank Product Agreements or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect, or any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) the application of payments received from any source to the payment

142

of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not any Beneficiary might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any Beneficiary’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Company or any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any Collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set offs or counterclaims which any Loan Party, may allege or assert against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 7.5Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Beneficiaries: (a) any right to require any Beneficiary, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against Company, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Company, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account or Securities Account or commodities account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of Company or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of Company or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of Company or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to Company and notices of any of the matters referred to in Article VII and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

Section 7.6Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, etc. Until Payment in Full, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Company or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by

143

statute, under common law or otherwise and including without limitation (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Company with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against Company, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary. In addition, until Payment in Full, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 7.2. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against Company or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against Company, to all right, title and interest any Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time before Payment in Full, such amount shall be held in trust for Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 7.7Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness of Company or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such indebtedness collected or received by such Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under any other provision hereof.

Section 7.8Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until Payment in Full. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 7.9Authority of Guarantors or Company. It is not necessary for any Beneficiary to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or Company or the officers, directors or the Agent acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.

Section 7.10Financial Condition of Company. Any Credit Extension may be made to Company or continued from time to time without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of Company at the time of any such grant or continuation is entered into, as the case may be. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of Company. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from Company on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of Company and its ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents and the Bank Product Agreements, and each

144

Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Company and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of non-payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of Company now known or hereafter known by any Beneficiary.

Section 7.11Bankruptcy, etc. (a) So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of Agent acting pursuant to the instructions of Required Lenders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding of or against Company or any other Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of Company or any other Guarantor or by any defense which Company or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

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

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

Section 7.12Discharge of Guaranty Upon Sale of Guarantor. If all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor or any of its successors in interest hereunder shall be sold or otherwise disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the Guaranty of such Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by any Beneficiary or any other Person effective as of the time of such Asset Sale.

Section 7.13Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under

145

this Guaranty in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 7.13 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 7.13, or otherwise under this Guaranty, voidable under Applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 7.13 constitute, and this Section 7.13 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

(c)Each Agent hereby agrees to act upon the express conditions contained herein and the other Loan Documents, as applicable. The provisions of this Article IX are solely for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and no Loan Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions thereof. In performing its functions and duties hereunder,

149

each Agent shall act solely as an agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 9.2Powers and Duties. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent to take such action on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated or granted to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are expressly specified herein and the other Loan Documents. Each Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents, employees or Related Parties. No Agent shall have, by reason hereof or any of the other Loan Documents and regardless of the occurrence and continuation of a Default or an Event of Default, a fiduciary relationship, fiduciary duties or other implied duties in respect of any Lender or Issuing Lender; and nothing herein or any of the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Agent any obligations in respect hereof or any of the other Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Lender and Issuing Lender agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary relationship, fiduciary duty or other implied duty by the Agent in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The motivations of the Agent are commercial in nature and not to investment in the general performance or operations of the Company.

Section 9.3General Immunity.

(a)No Responsibility for Certain Matters. No Agent shall be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency hereof or any other Loan Document or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by the Agent to Lenders or by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Agent or any Lender in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of any Loan Party or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall the Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Loan Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Default or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Agent shall not have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or the Letter of Credit Obligations or the component amounts thereof.

(b)Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or Agent shall be liable to Lenders for any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents except to the extent (i) caused by such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order. Each Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or any of the other Loan Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in

150

it hereunder or thereunder unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 10.4) and, upon receipt of such instructions from Required Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), such Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for Company and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of such Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 10.4).

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

Section 9.4Agent Entitled to Act as Lender. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, the Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Loans and the Letters of Credit, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity. The Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Company or any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Company for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders. Each Lender and Issuing Lender (a) acknowledges that JPMorgan and its Affiliates are serving or may serve as Agent, Lender and Issuing lender, have multiple roles in the Company’s capital structure, and that JPMorgan and its Affiliates, acting in such individual capacities, may have interests that differ from the interests of the other Lenders and Issuing lenders and (b) expressly agrees not to assert and waives any claim against JPMorgan or its Affiliates for any Liabilities arising from any conflict of interest resulting from JPMorgan and its Affiliates acting in such capacities.

151

(a)Each Lender represents and warrants that (i) it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with Credit Extensions hereunder, (ii) that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Company and its Subsidiaries, (iii) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility and (iv) in participating as a Lender, it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and in providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender or Issuing Lender, in each case in the ordinary course of business, and not for the purpose of investing in the general performance or operations of the Company, or for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument such as a security (and each Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing, such as a claim under the federal or state securities laws). No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to Lenders.

(b)Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement and funding its Revolving Loans on the Closing Date, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be approved by the Agent, Required Lenders or Lenders, as applicable on the Closing Date.

(c)Each Lender (i) represents and warrants that as of the Closing Date neither such Lender nor its Affiliates or Related Funds owns or controls, or owns or controls any Person owning or controlling, any trade debt or Indebtedness of any Loan Party other than the Obligations or any Capital Stock of any Loan Party and (ii) covenants and agrees that from and after the Closing Date neither such Lender nor its Affiliates and Related Funds shall purchase any trade debt or Indebtedness of any Loan Party other than the Obligations or Capital Stock described in clause (i) above without the prior written consent of Agent.

(d)(i) Each Lender and Issuing Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Agent notifies such Lender or Issuing Lender that the Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender or Issuing Lender from the Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender or Issuing Lender (whether or not known to such Lender or Issuing Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender or Issuing Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or Issuing Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, such Lender or Issuing Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or

152

counterclaim by the Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Agent to any Lender or Issuing Lender under this Section 9.5(d) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

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

(iii) The Company and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Lender or Issuing Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Company or any other Loan Party.

(iv) Each party’s obligations under this Section 9.5(d) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Lender, the termination of the Revolving Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.

(e)Each Lender and Issuing Lender acknowledge that there may be a constant flow of information (including information which may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Loan Parties) between the Loan Parties and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and its Affiliates, on the other hand. Without limiting the foregoing, the Loan Parties or their Affiliates may provide information, including updates to previously provided information to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and/or its Affiliates acting in different capacities, including as Lender, lead bank, arranger or potential securities investor, independent of such entity’s role as agent hereunder. The Lenders acknowledge that neither JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. nor its Affiliates shall be under any obligation to provide any of the foregoing information to them. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent herein, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide, and shall not be liable for the failure to provide, any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the Loans, the Lenders, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to, obtained by, or in the possession of, the Agent or any of its Affiliates in

153

any capacity, including any information obtained by the Agent in the course of communications among the Agent and any Loan Party, any Affiliate thereof or any other Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such information may (but shall not be required to) be shared by the Agent with one or more Lenders, or any formal or informal committee or ad hoc group of such Lenders, including at the direction of a Loan Party.

Section 9.6Successor Agent and Agent.

(a)The Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty days’ (or such shorter period as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) prior written notice thereof to Lenders, Company and the other Agent. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, (or such earlier date as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders appoint a successor Agent from among the Lenders.

(b)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Agent may assign their rights and duties as Agent hereunder to an Affiliate of JPMorgan without the prior written consent of, or prior written notice to, Company or the Lenders; provided, that Company and the Lenders may deem and treat such assigning Agent as Agent for all purposes hereof, unless and until such assigning Agent provides written notice to Company and the Lenders of such assignment. Upon such assignment such Affiliate shall succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties as Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

(c)Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-Agent appointed by such Agent.

(a)Agent under Collateral Documents and Guaranty and Intercreditor Arrangements. Each Lender hereby further authorizes Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of Lenders, (i) to be the agent for and representative of Lenders with respect to the Guaranty, the Collateral and the Collateral Documents and (ii) to enter into an Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and perform the obligations and exercise any right contemplated thereunder. Subject to Section 10.4, without further written consent or authorization from Lenders, Agent is authorized to, and at the request of Company shall, execute any documents or instruments necessary or desirable to (x) release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of a sale or other disposition of assets permitted hereby or to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.4) have otherwise consented, pursuant to the previous sentence, or (y) release any Guarantor from the Guaranty pursuant to Section 7.12 or with respect to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.4) have otherwise consented.

155

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any Loan Document, the Loan Documents shall be terminated and all guarantees and all Collateral shall be released upon Payment in Full.

Section 9.8Agency for Perfection. Each Agent and each Lender hereby appoints each other Agent and each other Lender as agent and bailee for the purpose of perfection the security interests in and liens upon the Collateral in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC, can be perfected only by possession or control (or where the security interest of a secured party with possession or control has priority over the security interest of another secured party) and each Agent and each Lender hereby acknowledges that it holds possession of or otherwise controls any such Collateral for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders as secured party. Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefore shall deliver such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions. In addition, Agent shall also have the power and authority hereunder to appoint such other sub-Agent as may be necessary or required under applicable state law or otherwise to perform its duties and enforce its rights with respect to the Collateral and under the Loan Documents.

(b)Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Lenders and the Company acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform, and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Lenders and the Company hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.

(c)THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”.

(d)Each Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender and Issuing Lender agrees (i) to notify the Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s (as applicable) email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.

(e)Each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Lenders and the Company agrees that the Agent may, but (except as may be required by Applicable Law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies.

(f)Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

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

Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders, Lead Arrangers or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders, Lead Arrangers or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

Section 9.11Credit Bidding. The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any Applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid, (i) the Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided, that any actions by the Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 10.4 of this Agreement), (iv) the Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership interests, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata with their original interest in such Obligations and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of

158

any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

Company, Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments, Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Commitment or Loan shall be effective, in each case, unless and until an Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been delivered to Agent and recorded in the Register as provided in Section 10.5(e). Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Commitment or Loan shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Commitments, Loans or Letter of Credit Obligations.

164

(c)Right to Assign. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment or Loans owing to it or other Obligations to an Eligible Assignee; provided, that

(i)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;

(ii)each such assignment shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by Company and Agent or as shall constitute the aggregate amount of the applicable Revolving Commitments and applicable Revolving Loans of the assigning Lender) with respect to the assignment of the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans;

(iii)the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent (x) an Assignment Agreement or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment Agreement by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Agent and the parties to the Assignment Agreement are participants, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and

(iv)the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more Credit Contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Loan Parties and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and Applicable Laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

(d)Tax Forms. The assigning Lender and the assignee thereof shall execute and deliver to Agent such forms or certificates with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver to Agent pursuant to Section 2.17(d).

(e)Notice of Assignment. Upon its receipt and acceptance of a duly executed and completed Assignment Agreement, any forms or certificates required by this Agreement in connection therewith, in each case satisfying the terms and conditions hereof, Agent shall record the information contained in such Assignment Agreement in the Register, shall give prompt notice thereof to Company and shall maintain a copy of such Assignment Agreement.

(f)Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Each Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon executing and delivering an Assignment Agreement, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of the applicable Effective Date (as defined in the applicable Assignment Agreement) that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the applicable Commitments or Loans, as the case may be and (iii) it will make or invest in, as the case may be, its Commitments or Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of such Commitments or Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions

165

of this Section 10.5, the disposition of such Revolving Commitments or Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).

(g)Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.5, as of the later (i) of the “Closing Date” specified in the applicable Assignment Agreement or (ii) the date such assignment is recorded in the Register: (A) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder to the extent such rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof; (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned thereby pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section 10.7) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto; provided, anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, (1) each Issuing Lender shall continue to have all rights and obligations thereof with respect to such Letters of Credit until the cancellation or expiration of such Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder, and (2) such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities and expense reimbursements hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder), (C) the Commitments shall be modified to reflect the Commitment of such assignee and any Commitment of such assigning Lender, if any, and (D) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to Agent for cancellation, and thereupon Company shall issue and deliver new Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.6(h).

(h)Participations.

(i)Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person (other than any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party or any Permitted Holder or any Affiliate of a Permitted Holder) in all or any part of its Commitments, Loans or in any other Obligation. The holder of any such participation shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder to which such Lender is entitled to take hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (A) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the latest Revolving Commitment Termination Date) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall

166

be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof) or (B) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents or all or substantially all of the Guarantors from the Guaranty (in each case, except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating. Company agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16, 2.17, or 2.18(a) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.5(c); provided, that such participant (i) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.16, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive and (ii) shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.17 as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(d) shall be delivered to the participating Lender). To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.3 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a Lender.

(ii)In the event that any Lender sells participations in its Commitments, Loans or in any other Obligation hereunder, such Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Commitments, Loans or Obligations held by it and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of such Commitments, Loans or Obligations which are the subject of the participation (the “Participant Register”). A Commitment, Loan or Obligation hereunder may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and a participating 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 Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(iii)Certain Other Assignments. In addition to any other assignment permitted pursuant to this Section 10.5, any Lender or Agent may assign, pledge and/or grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender or Agent or any of its Affiliates to any Person providing any loan, letter of credit or other extension of credit or financial arrangement to or for the account of such Lender or Agent or any of its Affiliates and the Agent, trustee or representative of such Person (without the consent of, or notice to, or any other action by, any other party hereto), including, without limitation, any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided, no Lender or Agent, as between Company and such Lender or Agent, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge; provided, further, in no event shall such Person, agent, trustee or representative of such Person or the applicable Federal Reserve Bank be considered to be a “Lender” or “Agent” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender or Agent to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

Section 10.6Independence of Covenants. All covenants under the Loan Documents shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be

167

within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

Section 10.7Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements made by a Loan Party in the Loan Documents or any document, report, notice or certificate delivered in connection with or pursuant to any Loan Documents shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension and shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, Section 2.16, 2.17, Article IX, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.9 shall survive the payment of the Loans, the cancellation or expiration of the Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder, and the termination hereof.

Section 10.8No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Loan Documents. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

Section 10.9Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or payments to Agent, Issuing Lenders or Lenders (or to Agent, on behalf of Lenders or Issuing Lenders), or Agent, Agent, Issuing Lenders or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

Section 10.10Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or any Note or other Loan Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 10.11Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations

168

or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and, subject to Section 9.7, each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

Section 10.12Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

Section 10.13Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b)consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(c)agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, in the manner set forth in Section 10.2(a);

(d)agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law; and

(e)waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 10.11 any indirect, special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

169

Section 10.15Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS.

EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 10.15 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

Section 10.16Confidentiality. Each of the Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and Agent, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.16, to (i) any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap, derivative or insurance transaction relating to the Company and its obligations, (g) on a confidential basis to (1) any rating agency in connection with rating the Company or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided for herein or (2) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of identification numbers with respect to the credit facilities provided for herein, (h) with the consent of the Company or (i) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as

170

a result of a breach of this Section 10.16 or (ii) becomes available to the Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Company relating to the Company or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company and other than information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry; provided, that, in the case of information received from the Company after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this ‎Section 10.16 shall prohibit any Person from voluntarily disclosing or providing any Information within the scope of this confidentiality provisions to any to a governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory organization (any such entity, a “Regulatory Authority”) to the extent that any such prohibition on disclosure applicable to such Person in this ‎Section 10.16 shall be prohibited by the laws or regulations applicable to such Regulatory Authority.

Section 10.17Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged or agreed to be paid with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under Applicable Law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, Company shall pay to Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and Company to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to Company. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by Agent or a Lender exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest, throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

171

Section 10.18Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.

(a)This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 3.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Agent and when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

(b)Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of (x) this Agreement, (y) any other Loan Document and/or (z) any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any notice delivered pursuant to Section 10.1), certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or the transactions contemplated hereby and/or thereby (each an “Ancillary Document”) that is an Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement, such other Loan Document or such Ancillary Document, as applicable. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in any electronic form (including deliveries by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page), each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be; provided, that nothing herein shall require the Agent to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent and pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Agent has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, the Agent and each of the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the Company or any other Loan Party without further verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any such Electronic signature and (ii) upon the request of the Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company and each Loan Party hereby (i) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Agent, the Lenders, the Company and the Loan Parties, Electronic Signatures transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page and/or any electronic images of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, (ii) the Agent and each of the Lenders may, at its option, create one or more

172

copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document in the form of an imaged electronic record in any format, which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document (and all such electronic records shall be considered an original for all purposes and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record), (iii) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document and/or such Ancillary Document, respectively, including with respect to any signature pages thereto and (iv) waives any claim against any Lender-Related Person for any Liabilities arising solely from the Agent’s and/or any Lender’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures and/or transmissions by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page, including any Liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Company and/or any Loan Party to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.

Section 10.19PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of the Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender or Agent, as applicable, to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.

Section 10.20Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

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

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

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

173

rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

Section 10.21Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for hedging agreements 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 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.
