This Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of October 27, 2025, between Strattec Security Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation (the “Company”) and BMO Bank N.A., a national banking association (the “Lender”).

WHEREAS, the Lender and the Company are party to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of August 1, 2011 (as amended, modified, restated or supplemented immediately prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Company has requested and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Lender has agreed, to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof.

Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

Section 1.01 Accounting Terms; Definitions.

As used herein:

“Acquisition” means any transaction or series of related transactions for the purpose of or resulting, directly or indirectly, in (i) the acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of a Person, or of any business or division of a Person, (ii) the acquisition of all of the capital stock, partnership interests, membership interests or equity of any Person, or otherwise causing any Person to become a Subsidiary, or (iii) a merger or consolidation or any other combination with another Person (other than a Person that is a Subsidiary), provided that the Company or the Subsidiary is the surviving entity.

“ADAC-Strattec LLC” means ADAC-Strattec LLC, a Delaware limited liability company of which the Company owns a 51% membership interest as of the date of this Agreement.

“ADAC-Strattec LLC Credit Agreement” means the Credit Agreement dated as of June 28, 2012, by and between ADAC-Strattec LLC, as the borrower, and the Lender, as the lender.

“ADAC-Strattec LLC Operating Agreement” means the First Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of ADAC-Strattec LLC entered into on July 1, 2017, to be effective July 1, 2016, as amended by the Second Amendment dated May 31, 2024, as the same may be further amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time.

“Adjusted Base Rate” means the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

“Adjusted Base Rate Loan” means any Loan which bears interest at or by reference to the Adjusted Base Rate.

“Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any other Person which, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such Person.

“Agreement” has the meaning given to it in the preamble hereof.

“Applicable Margin” means (i) for SOFR Loans, 1.50% and (ii) for Adjusted Base Rate Loans, 0.0%.

“Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, (x) if such Benchmark is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining the length of an interest period pursuant to this Agreement or (y) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining any frequency of making payments of interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark, in each case, as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to Section 3.09(d).

“Base Rate” means, for any day, the rate per annum equal to the greatest of: (a) the rate of interest announced or otherwise established by the Lender from time to time as its prime commercial rate, or its equivalent, for U.S. Dollar loans to borrowers located in the United States as in effect on such day, with any change in the Base Rate resulting from a change in said prime commercial rate to be effective as of the date of the relevant change in said prime commercial rate (it being acknowledged and agreed that such rate may not be the Lender’s best or lowest rate), (b) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day plus 0.50%, and (c) the sum of (i) Term SOFR for a one-month tenor in effect on such day plus (ii) 1.00%. Any change in the Base Rate due to a change in the prime rate, the quoted federal funds rates or Term SOFR, as applicable, shall be effective from and including the effective date of the change in such rate. If the Base Rate is being used as an alternative rate of interest pursuant to Sections 3.06 or 3.09, then the Base Rate shall be the greater of clauses (a) and (b) above and shall be determined without reference to clause (c) above, provided that if Base Rate as determined above shall ever be less than the Floor plus 1.00%, then Base Rate shall be deemed to be the Floor plus 1.00%.

“Benchmark” means, initially, the Term SOFR Reference Rate; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to the Term SOFR Reference Rate or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to Section 3.09.

“Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Lender for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date,

(a) Daily Simple SOFR; or

(b) the sum of: (i) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Lender and the Company giving due consideration to (A) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (B) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a

benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities and (ii) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Lender and the Company giving due consideration to (a) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body or (b) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities.

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

(a) in the case of clause (a) or (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event”, the later of (i) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (ii) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

(b) in the case of clause (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event”, the first date on which such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be no longer representative; provided, that such non-representativeness or non-compliance will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such clause (c) and even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date.

For the avoidance of doubt, the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (a) or (b) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

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

(a) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of

such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

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

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

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

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means the period (if any) (a) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 3.09 and (b) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 3.09.

Except for an automatic renewal of a SOFR Loan as contemplated by Section 3.04, the Company will give the Lender written notice in the form of Exhibit 3.05 annexed hereto, or

telephonic notice (confirmed in writing if the Lender so requests), which notices will be irrevocable, of each conversion of an Adjusted Base Rate Loan or SOFR Loan or continuation of a SOFR Loan not later than 11:00 a.m., Milwaukee, Wisconsin time, on a Business Day which is not less than three Business Days before the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying (i) the requested date (which must be a Business Day) of such conversion or continuation; (ii) the amount of the Loan to be converted or continued; (iii) whether such Loan currently bears interest at the Adjusted Base Rate or Term SOFR; and (iv) the duration of the Interest Period to be applicable thereto (each, an “Interest Election Request”).

Section 3.06 Inability to Determine Rates.

Subject to Section 3.09, if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Borrowing of SOFR Loans:

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

(b) the Lender determines that (i) for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of funding such Loan or (ii) that the making or funding of SOFR Loans has become impracticable,

then the Lender shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Company, whereupon until the Lender notifies the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligations of the Lender to create, continue, or effect by conversion SOFR Loans shall be suspended (and any existing SOFR Loans shall be automatically converted into Adjusted Base Rate Loans upon the end of the applicable Interest Period therefor).

Section 3.07 Changes in Law Rendering Certain Loans Unlawful.

In the event that any Regulatory Change should make it (or, in the good faith judgment of the Lender, should raise substantial questions as to whether it is) unlawful for the Lender to make, maintain or fund a SOFR Loan, (i) the Lender will promptly notify the Company; (ii) the obligation of the Lender to make SOFR Loans shall, upon the effectiveness of such event, be suspended for the duration of such unlawfulness; and (iii) upon such notice, any outstanding SOFR Loan made by the Lender will automatically convert into an Adjusted Base Rate Loan.

Section 3.08 Increased Costs.

If any Regulatory Change,

(a) shall subject the Lender to any Tax, duty or other charge with respect to any of its Loans hereunder, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to the Lender of the principal or interest on its Loans hereunder, or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of such Loans, or its obligation to make Loans hereunder (except for Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes);

(b) shall impose, modify or make applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any reserve imposed by the FRB, but excluding any reserve included in the determination of Term SOFR), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, the Lender; or

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to (or in the case of Regulation D or any other analogous law, rule or regulation, to impose a cost on) the Lender of making or maintaining any Loans hereunder, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lender under this Agreement and any document or instrument related hereto; then upon notice from the Lender (which notice shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of such increased cost or other effect on the Loans), and provided that the Lender is giving similar notice to other similarly situated corporate borrowers of the Lender, the Company shall pay directly to the Lender, on demand, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such increased cost or such reduction. Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate the Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred more than nine months prior to the date that the Lender notifies the Company of the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs, and of the Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 3.09 Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any interest rate swap agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for the purposes of this Section 3.09):

(a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) 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 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 (b) 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 (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lender

without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.

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

(c) Notice; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Lender will promptly notify the Company of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Lender will promptly notify the Company of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 3.09. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Lender pursuant to this Section 3.09, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.09.

(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Lender in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administration of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Lender may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Lender may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Company may revoke any pending request for a SOFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period

and, failing that, the Company will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Adjusted Base Rate Loans. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.

Section 3.10 Discretion of the Lender as to Manner of Funding.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of the Loans to the Company hereunder in any manner it sees fit.

Section 3.11 Capital Adequacy.

If any Regulatory Change affects the treatment of any Loan hereunder of the Lender as an asset or other item included for the purpose of calculating the appropriate amount of capital to be maintained by the Lender or any corporation controlling the Lender and has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of the obligations of the Lender hereunder to a level below that which the Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into account the Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed in good faith by the Lender to be material, then the Company shall pay to the Lender, on demand, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender or such corporation, as the case may be, for such reduction. The Lender shall provide to the Company a certificate demonstrating the Lender’s calculations of the amount requested. Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate the Lender pursuant to this Section for any reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that the Lender notifies the Company of the Regulatory Change giving rise to such reductions, and of the Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 3.12 Limitation on Prepayment.

An Adjusted Base Rate Loan may be prepaid at the option of the Company in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty. A SOFR Loan may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time at the option of the Company; provided, however, that prepayment prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto will require the payment by the Company of the amount (if any) required by Section 3.13. All prepayments shall be accompanied by interest accrued on the amount prepaid through the date of prepayment. The Company will provide written or telephonic notice (which notice shall be confirmed in writing if the Lender so requests), which notices shall be irrevocable, to the Lender not later than (i) 11:00 a.m., Milwaukee, Wisconsin time, on any proposed date of prepayment of any Adjusted Base Rate Loan, and (ii) 3:00 p.m.,

Milwaukee, Wisconsin time, on the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of prepayment of any SOFR Loan.

Section 3.13 Funding Losses.

The Company hereby agrees that upon demand by the Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the calculations of the amount being claimed) the Company will indemnify the Lender against any loss or expense which the Lender may sustain or incur (including, without limitation, any net loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Lender to fund or maintain SOFR Loans and any loss of anticipated return), as reasonably determined by the Lender, as a result of (i) any payment, prepayment or conversion of any SOFR Loan on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan whether or not required by any other provisions of this Agreement, or (ii) any failure of the Company to draw down the proceeds of a SOFR Loan on a Borrowing Date or to convert an Adjusted Base Rate Loan to a SOFR Loan or to continue a SOFR Loan at the end of any Interest Period, in each case as specified by the Company in a notice of borrowing as provided in Section 3.02 or in a conversion or continuation notice as provided in Section 3.05.

Section 3.14 Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival of Provisions.

Determinations and statements of the Lender pursuant to Sections 3.07, 3.08, 3.11 and 3.13 shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the correctness of the determinations and statements and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 3.15 Obligation of the Lender to Mitigate.

(a) The Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of the Lender responsible for administering the Loans becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would entitle the Lender to receive payments under Section 3.08, 3.11 or 3.13, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of the Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts (i) to make, issue, fund or maintain the Revolving Commitment or the affected Loans through another lending office of the Lender, or (ii) take such other measures as the Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to the Lender pursuant to Section 3.08, 3.11 or 3.13, would be materially reduced and if, as determined by the Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Commitment or Loans through such other lending office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise materially adversely affect such Commitment or Loans or the interests of the Lender.

Section 3.16 Survival of Provisions.

The provisions of Sections 3.08, 3.11 and 3.13 shall survive the obligation of the Lender to extend credit under this Agreement and the repayment of the Loans and the Letter of Credit Obligations.

Section 3.17 Computations of Interest.

All computations of interest and other amounts due under the Notes and fees and other amounts due under this Agreement will be based on a 360-day year using the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest, fees or other amounts are payable; provided, that interest accrued at the Adjusted Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day (or 366-day, as applicable) year.

Section 3.18 Payments; Loan Account.

(a) Interest on all Loans will be due and payable (i) in the case of an Adjusted Base Rate Loan, monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar month, beginning on the first such day following the date on which the Company obtains such Adjusted Base Rate Loan; (ii) in the case of a SOFR Loan, on the last Business Day of the applicable Interest Period; and (iii) in the case of any Loan, at the respective maturity of such Loan, whether by acceleration or otherwise. All payments and prepayments of principal, interest and fees under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to the Lender prior to 3:00 p.m., Milwaukee, Wisconsin time, in immediately available funds.

(b) The Loans and Letters of Credit shall be evidenced by a loan account or record maintained by the Lender in the ordinary course of business. The loan account or record maintained by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lender to the Company and Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Company, and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Company hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans or the Letter of Credit Obligations.

Section 3.19 Interest Following Event of Default.

From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the unpaid principal amount of all Loans and all other amounts due and unpaid under this Agreement and the Notes will bear interest until paid computed at a rate equal to 2% per annum in excess of the rate or rates otherwise payable hereunder and shall be payable from time to time on demand.

Section 3.20 Deposits; Set Off.

If any Event of Default occurs hereunder and during the continuance thereof, the Lender may offset and apply any and all monies, balances, accounts and deposits (including certificates of deposit) of the Company at the Lender now or at any time hereafter toward the payment of any amounts then due and owing under the Note or this Agreement. Promptly upon its charging any account of the Company pursuant to this Section, the Lender shall give the Company notice thereof.

Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Lender to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit the right of the Lender to bring proceedings against the Company or its property or assets in the competent courts of any other jurisdiction or jurisdictions.

Section 9.15 Waiver of Jury Trial.

The Company and the Lender hereby jointly and severally waive any and all right to trial by jury in any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, any Note, any of the Loan Documents, or any other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, or any transaction arising from or connected to any of the foregoing. The Company and the Lender each represent that this waiver is knowingly, willingly and voluntarily given.

Section 9.16 Limitation of Liability.

The Company and the Lender hereby waive any right any of them may now or hereafter have to claim or recover from any other party hereto any consequential, exemplary or punitive damages.

Section 9.17 Tax Indemnification.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Company hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes, provided that if the Company shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Company shall make such deductions and (iii) the Company shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Company. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Company shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify the Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Lender, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Company to a Governmental Authority, the Company shall deliver to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.

(e) Status of the Lenders. The Lender (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any assignee of the Lender under this Agreement) shall, to the extent that it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company prior to becoming a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company), executed copies of (a) Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or (b) the appropriate Form W-8, together with all appropriate attachments and certifications, as applicable, in each case certifying that the Lender (or such assignee) is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of U.S. federal withholding Tax and U.S. backup withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document. In addition, the Lender (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any assignee of the Lender) shall deliver any other documentation reasonably requested by the Company in connection with assessing or complying with its Tax reporting or withholding responsibilities (including for this purpose any documentation required in connection with FATCA) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the execution and submission of such documentation (other than the documentation required under the immediately preceding sentence or required in connection with FATCA) shall not

be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject the Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the Lender.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Company or with respect to which the Company has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Company an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Company under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Company, upon the request of the Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Company (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Lender in the event the Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Company or any other Person.

(g) Participant Register. In the event that the Lender (including any assignee) sells participations to one or more Persons under Section 9.08(b), such Lender or assignee shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents; provided that neither Lender nor any assignee shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the such register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) and Proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

Section 9.18 Amendment and Restatement; No Novation.

This Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement, effective from and after the Closing Date. The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not constitute a novation of any indebtedness or other obligations owing to the Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement based on facts or events occurring or existing prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement. On the Closing Date, the credit facilities described in the Existing Credit Agreement, shall be amended, supplemented, modified and restated in their entirety by the facilities described herein, and all loans and other obligations of the Company outstanding as of such date under the Existing Credit Agreement, shall be deemed to be loans and obligations outstanding under the corresponding facilities described herein, without any further action by any Person.
