Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 1, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Second Incremental Amendment”) to the credit and guaranty agreement, dated as of May 10, 2022 (as amended by the First Incremental Amendment, dated as of September 29, 2023, as further amended by the Second Incremental Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company as subsidiary guarantors, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as second incremental term facility administrative agent, pursuant to which the Company borrowed $400,000,000 of new term loans (the “Second Incremental Term Loans”).

The Second Incremental Term Loans incurred pursuant to the Second Incremental Amendment will mature on May 10, 2027 and will amortize in quarterly installments (commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2025) equal to (x) for the first eight installments, 0.625% of the original principal amount of the Second Incremental Term Loans and (y) for each installment thereafter, 1.875% of the original principal amount of the Second Incremental Term Loans, with the balance payable on the maturity date of the Second Incremental Term Loans. The proceeds of the Second Incremental Term Loans were used in part to repay revolving loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement and the remainder will be used for general corporate purposes. The Second Incremental Term Loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the borrower’s option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (1) the rate of interest quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate,” (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1.00% or (3) term SOFR for a period of one month plus 1.00% (or if such rate shall not be ascertainable, 1.00%) or (b) term SOFR for the interest period relevant to such borrowing, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable interest rate margins for the Second Incremental Term Loans are 2.25% per annum with respect to base rate borrowings and 3.25% per annum with respect to term SOFR borrowings. Except as amended by the Second Incremental Amendment, the terms of the Credit Agreement were not otherwise amended.

(b) The New Term Loans shall comprise a new Class of Term Loans, and shall otherwise be subject to the provisions of the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of the New Term Loans may not be re-borrowed.

(c) On the Second Amendment Effective Date, each New Term Lender party hereto irrevocably consents to this Amendment and all modifications to the Credit Agreement contemplated hereby.

(b) If any provision of this Amendment is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Amendment shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 10. GOVERNING LAW; Waiver of Jury Trial; Jurisdiction. THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Prior to the Investment Grade Trigger Date, the Applicable Rate for Revolving Loans shall be adjusted quarterly on a prospective basis on each Adjustment Date based upon the Consolidated Leverage Ratio in accordance with the table above; provided that (a) if financial statements are not delivered when required pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or (b), as applicable, the “Applicable Rate” for Revolving Loans shall be the rate per annum set forth above in Category 1 until such financial statements are delivered in compliance with Section 5.01(a) or (b), as applicable and (b) the “Applicable Rate” for Revolving Loans shall be the rate per annum set forth above in Category 1 as of the first Business Day after an Event of Default shall

have occurred and be continuing, and shall continue to so apply to (but excluding) the date on which such Event of Default is cured or waived (and thereafter the Applicable Rate otherwise determined in accordance with this definition shall apply).

In the event that the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and the Borrower determine that any financial statements previously delivered were incorrect or inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement or the Commitments are in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Rate for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Rate applied for such Applicable Period, then (i) the Borrower shall as soon as practicable deliver to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent the corrected financial statements for such Applicable Period, (ii) the Applicable Rate shall be determined as if the pricing level for such higher Applicable Rate were applicable for such Applicable Period and (iii) the Borrower shall within three (3) Business Days thereof pay to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent the accrued additional amount owing as a result of such increased Applicable Rate for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of Administrative Agents and Lenders with respect to Section 2.13 and Article 8.

(b) On and following the Investment Grade Trigger Date, for Revolving Loans, the following percentages per annum, based upon the Debt Rating as set forth below:

Pricing Level	Debt Rating	Facility Fee	Applicable Rate For Eurocurrency Rate Loans, BA Rate Loans and Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans	Applicable Rate for ABR Loans, Canadian Prime Rate Loans and Swingline Loans
1	> BBB+ / Baa1	0.110%	1.015%	0.015%
2	BBB / Baa2	0.125%	1.125%	0.125%
3	BBB- / Baa3	0.175%	1.200%	0.200%
4	BB+ / Ba1	0.250%	1.375%	0.375%
5	£BB / Ba2	0.275%	1.475%	0.475%

Each change in the Applicable Rate in this clause (b) resulting from a publicly announced change in the Debt Rating shall be effective during the period commencing on the date of the public announcement thereof and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change and, in the case of a downgrade, during the period commencing on the date of the public announcement thereof and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change.

As used in this clause (b), “Debt Rating” means, as of any date of determination, the rating as determined by any of S&P or Moody’s (collectively, the “Debt Ratings”) of the Borrower’s senior unsecured non-credit-enhanced long-term Indebtedness for borrowed money (the “Subject Debt”); provided that, solely for purposes of determining the Applicable Rate, if a Debt Rating is issued by each of S&P and Moody’s, then the higher of such Debt Ratings shall apply (with Pricing Level 1 being the highest and Pricing Level 5 being the lowest), unless there is a split in Debt Ratings of more than one level, in which case the level that is one level lower than the higher Debt Rating shall apply. If the rating

system of S&P or Moody’s shall change, the Borrower, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system and, pending the effectiveness of such amendment, the Debt Rating shall be determined by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change. If and for so long as either S&P or Moody’s (but not both) has ceased to rate the Subject Debt, then the Debt Rating shall be determined by reference to the Remaining Debt Rating. If and for so long as both S&P and Moody’s have ceased to rate the Subject Debt, then, the Debt Rating will be Pricing Level 5. For the purpose of the foregoing, “Remaining Debt Rating” means, at any time that one of S&P or Moody’s, but not both, is rating the Subject Debt, the rating assigned by such rating agency from time to time.

(c) For First Incremental Term Loans (i) in the case of ABR Loans, 3.00% per annum and (ii) in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, 4.00% per annum.

(d) For Second Incremental Term Loans, (i) in the case of ABR Loans, 2.25% per annum and (ii) in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, 3.25% per annum.

The Applicable Rate for any other Class of Additional Revolving Loans or Additional Term Loans shall be as set forth in the applicable Refinancing Amendment, Incremental Facility Amendment or Extension Amendment.

“Applicable SOFR Adjustment” means (a) other than in the case of the First Incremental Term Loans, 0.10% and (b) in the case of the First Incremental Term Loans, 0.00%.

Each Auction Notice shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Auction Agent and shall (i) specify the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans subject to the Auction, in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and whole increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, in any case, such lesser

amount of such Term Loans then outstanding or which is otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Auction Agent and the Term Facility Administrative Agent or the ~~First~~ Incremental Term ~~Facility~~Facilities Administrative Agent, as applicable (if different from the Auction Agent)) (the “Auction Amount”), (ii) specify the discount to par (which may be a range (the “Discount Range”) of percentages of the par principal amount of the Term Loans subject to such Auction), that represents the range of purchase prices that the Auction Party would be willing to accept in the Auction, (iii) be extended, at the sole discretion of the Auction Party, to (x) each Lender and/or (y) each Lender with respect to any Term Loan on an individual Class basis and (iv) remain outstanding through the Auction Response Date.

Lenders may only submit one Return Bid per Auction, but each Return Bid may contain up to three bids only one of which may result in a Qualifying Bid. In addition to the Return Bid, the participating Lender must execute and deliver, to be held in escrow by the Auction Agent, an Assignment and Assumption with the dollar amount of the Term Loans to be assigned to be left in blank, which amount shall be completed by the Auction Agent in accordance with the final determination of such Lender’s Qualifying Bid pursuant to clause (c) below.

(c) Acceptance Procedures. Based on the Reply Prices and Reply Amounts received by the Auction Agent prior to the applicable Auction Response Date, the Auction Agent, in consultation with the Auction Party, will determine the applicable price (the “Applicable Price”) for the Auction, which will be the lowest Reply Price for which the Auction Party can complete the Auction at the Auction Amount; provided that, in the event that the Reply Amounts are insufficient to allow the Auction Party to complete a purchase of the entire Auction Amount (any such Auction, a “Failed Auction”), the Auction Party shall either, at its election, (i) withdraw the Auction or (ii) complete the Auction at an Applicable Price equal to the highest Reply Price. The Auction Party shall purchase the relevant Term Loans (or the respective portions thereof) from each Lender with a Reply Price that is equal to or lower than the Applicable Price (“Qualifying Bids”) at the Applicable Price; provided that if the aggregate proceeds required to purchase all Term Loans subject to Qualifying Bids would exceed the Auction Amount for such Auction, the Auction Party shall purchase such Term Loans at the Applicable Price ratably based on the principal amounts of such Qualifying Bids (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Auction Agent in its discretion). If a Lender has submitted a Return Bid containing multiple bids at different Reply Prices, only the bid with the lowest Reply Price that is equal to or less than the Applicable Price will be deemed to be the Qualifying Bid of such Lender (e.g., a Reply Price of $100 with a discount to par of 1.00%, when compared to an Applicable Price of $100 with a

2.00% discount to par, will not be deemed to be a Qualifying Bid, while, however, a Reply Price of $100 with a discount to par of 2.50% would be deemed to be a Qualifying Bid). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within five Business Days following the Auction Response Date with respect to an Auction, notify (I) the Borrower of the respective Lenders’ responses to such solicitation, the effective date of the purchase of Term Loans pursuant to such Auction, the Applicable Price, and the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans and the tranches thereof to be purchased pursuant to such Auction, (II) each participating Lender of the effective date of the purchase of Term Loans pursuant to such Auction, the Applicable Price, and the aggregate principal amount and the tranches of Term Loans to be purchased at the Applicable Price on such date, (III) each participating Lender of the aggregate principal amount and the tranches of the Term Loans of such Lender to be purchased at the Applicable Price on such date and (IV) if applicable, each participating Lender of any rounding and/or proration pursuant to the second preceding sentence. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.

(d) Additional Procedures.

(i) Once initiated by an Auction Notice, the Auction Party may not withdraw an Auction other than a Failed Auction. Furthermore, in connection with any Auction, upon submission by a Lender of a Qualifying Bid, such Lender (each, a “Qualifying Lender”) will be obligated to sell the entirety or its allocable portion of the Reply Amount, as the case may be, at the Applicable Price.

(ii) To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each purchase of Term Loans pursuant to an Auction shall be consummated pursuant to procedures consistent with the provisions in this definition, established by the Auction Agent acting in its reasonable discretion and as reasonably agreed by the Borrower.

(iii) In connection with any Auction, the Borrower and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may require as a condition to any Auction, the payment of customary fees and expenses by the Auction Party in connection therewith as agreed between the Auction Party and the Auction Agent.

If the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agents that the Borrower is required to report under IFRS or has elected to do so through an early adoption policy, “GAAP” shall mean international financial reporting standards pursuant to IFRS (provided thereafter, the Borrower cannot elect to report under GAAP); provided, that any calculation or determination in this Agreement that requires the application of GAAP for periods that include fiscal quarters ended prior to the application of IFRS will remain as previously calculated or determined in accordance with GAAP.

Consolidated Net Income or Consolidated Total Assets, such financial ratio, financial test or amount shall, subject to clause ‎(e) below, be calculated at the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be, and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in such financial ratio, financial test or amount occurring after the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including in connection with any calculation made on a Pro Forma Basis), to the extent that the terms of this Agreement require (i) compliance with any financial ratio or financial test (including, without limitation, Section 6.15 hereof, Section 6.21 hereof, any First Lien Leverage Ratio test, any Secured Leverage Ratio test, any Total Leverage Ratio test and/or any Interest Coverage Ratio test) and/or any cap expressed as a percentage of Consolidated Total Assets, Consolidated Net Income or Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, (ii) accuracy of any representation or warranty and/or the absence of a Default or Event of Default (or any type of default or event of default) or (iii) compliance with any basket or other condition, as a condition to (A) the consummation of any transaction (including in connection with any acquisition, consolidation, business combination or similar Investment or the assumption or incurrence of Indebtedness), (B) the making of any Restricted Payment and/or (C) the making of any Restricted Debt Payment, the determination of whether the relevant condition is satisfied may be made, at the election of the Borrower, (1) in the case of any acquisition, consolidation, business combination or similar Investment, any Disposition, any incurrence of Indebtedness or any transaction relating thereto, at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) either (x) the execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such acquisition, consolidation, business combination, similar Investment or Disposition (or, solely in connection with an acquisition, consolidation or business combination to which the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers applies, the date on which a “Rule 2.7 Announcement” of a firm intention to make an offer is made) or the establishment of a commitment with respect to such Indebtedness or (y) the consummation of such acquisition, consolidation, business combination, Investment or Disposition or the incurrence of such Indebtedness, (2) in the case of any Restricted Payment, at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) (x) the declaration of such Restricted Payment or (y) the making of such Restricted Payment and (3) in the case of any Restricted Debt Payment, at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) (x) delivery of notice with respect to such Restricted Debt Payment or (y) the making of such Restricted Debt Payment, in each case, after giving effect on a Pro Forma Basis to the relevant acquisition, consolidation, business combination or similar Investment, Restricted Payment and/or Restricted Debt Payment, incurrence of Indebtedness or other transaction (including the intended use of proceeds of any Indebtedness to be incurred in connection therewith) and, at the election of the Borrower, any other acquisition, consolidation, business combination or similar Investment, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment, incurrence of Indebtedness or other transaction that has not been consummated but with respect to which definitive agreements have been executed, and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of an adverse change in such ratio, test or condition occurring after the time such election is made (but any subsequent improvement in the applicable ratio, test or amount may be utilized by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower shall have elected the option set forth in clause (x) of any of the preceding clauses (1), (2) or (3) in respect of any transaction, then the Borrower or its applicable Restricted Subsidiary shall be permitted to consummate such transaction even if any applicable test or condition shall cease to be satisfied subsequent to the Borrower’s election of such option. The provisions of this paragraph (e) shall also apply in respect of the incurrence of any Incremental Facility.

(f) [Reserved].

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless the Borrower otherwise notifies the Administrative Agents, with respect to any amount incurred or transaction entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement (other than a non-concurrent borrowing under the Revolving Facility) that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or financial test (including ‎Section 6.15 hereof, any First Lien Leverage Ratio test, any Secured Leverage Ratio test, any Total Leverage Ratio test and/or any Interest Coverage Ratio test) (any such amount, including any concurrent drawing under the Revolving Facility, and any cap expressed as a percentage of Consolidated Total Assets, Consolidated Net Income or Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, a “Fixed Amount”) substantially concurrently with any amount incurred or transaction entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with a financial ratio or financial test (including ‎Section 6.15 hereof, any First Lien Leverage Ratio test, any Secured Leverage Ratio test, any Total Leverage Ratio test and/or any Interest Coverage Ratio test) (any such amount, an “Incurrence-Based Amount”), it is understood and agreed that (i) the incurrence of the Incurrence-Based Amount shall be calculated first without giving effect to any Fixed Amount but giving full pro forma effect to the use of proceeds of such Fixed Amount and the related transactions and (ii) the incurrence of the Fixed Amount shall be calculated thereafter. Unless it elects otherwise, the Borrower shall be deemed to have used amounts under an Incurrence-Based Amount then available to the Borrower prior to utilization of any amount under a Fixed Amount then available to the Borrower. In calculating any Incurrence Based Amount, any amounts concurrently-incurred under the Revolving Facility shall not be given effect.

(h) The principal amount of any non-interest bearing Indebtedness or other discount security constituting Indebtedness at any date shall be the principal amount thereof that would be shown on a balance sheet of the Borrower dated such date prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(i) Any increase in any amount of Indebtedness or any increase in any amount secured by any Lien by virtue of the accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest or a dividend in the form of additional Indebtedness, amortization of original issue discount and/or any increase in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of any fluctuation in the exchange rate of any applicable currency shall be deemed to be permitted Indebtedness for purposes of Section 6.01 and will be deemed not to be the granting of a Lien for purposes of Section 6.02.

Section 1.08. Currency Equivalents Generally.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (b) below, for purposes of any determination under Article 5, Article 6 (other than Section 6.15 or Section 6.21 and the calculation of compliance with any financial ratio for purposes of taking any action hereunder) or Article 7 with respect to the amount of any Indebtedness, Lien, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment, Investment, Disposition, Sale and Lease-Back Transaction, affiliate transaction or other transaction, event or circumstance, or any determination under any other provision of this Agreement (any of the foregoing, a “relevant transaction”), in a currency other than Dollars, (i) the Dollar equivalent amount of a relevant transaction in a currency other than Dollars shall be calculated based on the rate of exchange quoted by the Bloomberg Foreign Exchange Rates & World Currencies Page (or any successor page thereto, or in the event such rate does not appear on any Bloomberg Page, by reference to such other publicly available service for displaying exchange rates as may be agreed upon by the Applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrower) for such foreign currency, as in effect at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the date of such relevant transaction (which, in the case of any Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment, Investment, Disposition or incurrence of Indebtedness, shall be determined as set forth in Section 1.04(e)); provided, that if any Indebtedness is incurred (and, if applicable, associated Lien granted) to refinance or replace other Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than Dollars, and the relevant refinancing or replacement would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing or replacement, such Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing or replacement Indebtedness (and, if applicable, associated Lien granted) does not exceed an amount sufficient to repay the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced or replaced, except by an amount equal to (x) unpaid accrued interest, penalties and premiums (including tender premiums) thereon plus underwriting discounts and other customary fees, commissions and expenses (including upfront fees, original issue discount or initial yield payment) incurred in connection with such refinancing or replacement, (y) any existing commitments unutilized thereunder and (z) additional amounts permitted to be incurred under Section 6.01 or Section 6.17, as applicable, and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in the rate of currency exchange occurring after the time of any relevant transaction so long as such relevant transaction was permitted at the time incurred, made, acquired, committed, entered or declared as set forth in clause (i). For purposes of Section 6.15, Section 6.21 and the calculation of compliance with any financial ratio for purposes of taking any action hereunder (including for purposes of calculating availability under the Incremental Cap) on any relevant date of determination, amounts denominated in currencies other than Dollars shall be translated into Dollars at the applicable currency

exchange rate used in preparing the financial statements delivered pursuant to Sections 5.01(a) or (b) (or, prior to the first such delivery, the financial statements referred to in Section 3.04), as applicable, for the relevant Test Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, to the extent that the Borrower would not be in compliance with Section 6.15 (but not Section 6.21), if any Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than Dollars were to be translated into Dollars on the basis of the applicable currency exchange rate used in preparing the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or (b), as applicable, for the relevant Test Period, but would be in compliance with Section 6.15 if such Indebtedness that is denominated in a currency other than in Dollars were instead translated into Dollars on the basis of the average relevant currency exchange rates over such Test Period (taking into account the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of any Hedge Agreement permitted hereunder in respect of currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination for the Dollar equivalent amount of such Indebtedness), then, solely for purposes of compliance with Section 6.15, the First Lien Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such Test Period shall be calculated on the basis of such average relevant currency exchange rates.

(b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agents may from time to time specify with the Borrower’s consent to appropriately reflect a change in currency of any country and any relevant market convention or practice relating to such change in currency.

(c) The Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall determine the Spot Rate as of each Revaluation Date to be used for calculating the Dollar Equivalent amount of any Revolving Loan and/or Letter of Credit that is denominated in any Alternate Currency. The Spot Rate shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Spot Rate employed in converting any amount between any Alternate Currency and Dollars until the next occurring Revaluation Date.

Section 1.09. Cashless Rollovers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, to the extent that any Lender extends the maturity date of, or replaces, renews or refinances, any of its then-existing Loans with Incremental Loans, Replacement Term Loans, Loans in connection with any Replacement Revolving Facility, Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Loans or loans incurred under a new credit facility, in each case, to the extent such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing is effected by means of a “cashless roll” by such Lender, such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing shall be deemed to comply with any requirement hereunder or any other Loan Document that such payment be made “in Dollars”, “in immediately available funds”, “in Cash” or any other similar requirement.

Section 1.10. Additional Alternate Currencies.

(a) The Borrower may from time to time request that Alternative Currency Loans be made to the Borrower and/or Letters of Credit be issued to the Borrower in a currency other than Dollars and those specifically listed in the definition of “Alternate Currencies”; provided that such requested currency is a lawful currency (other than Dollars) that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars. In the case of any such request with respect to the making of Alternative Currency Loans, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders of the applicable Class that will provide such Loans, and in the case of any such request with respect to the issuance of Letters of Credit, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Banks, in each case as set forth in Section 10.02(b)(ii)(E).

(b) Any such request shall be made to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., ten Business Days prior to the requested date of the making of such Revolving Loan or

issuance of such Letter of Credit (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and, in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the applicable Issuing Banks, in its or their sole discretion). In the case of any such request pertaining to Alternative Currency Loans, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof; and in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Issuing Bank thereof. Each applicable Revolving Lender (in the case of any such request pertaining to Revolving Loans) or each applicable Issuing Bank (in the case of a request pertaining to Letters of Credit) shall notify the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., five Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of Alternative Currency Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in such requested currency.

(c) Any failure by a Revolving Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Revolving Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to permit Alternative Currency Loans to be made or Letters of Credit to be issued in such requested currency. If the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and all the applicable Revolving Lenders consent to making Alternative Currency Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower, and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternate Currency hereunder for purposes of any Borrowing of Revolving Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit in such currency, as applicable, in which case the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders shall be permitted (but not required) to amend this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as necessary to accommodate such Borrowings and/or Letters of Credit (as applicable), in accordance with Section 10.02(b)(ii)(E). If the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.10, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Borrower. Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided, to the extent that the Alternative Currency Daily Rate, the Eurocurrency Rate and/or the Alternate Base Rate is not applicable to or available with respect to any Revolving Loan denominated in any Alternate Currency, the components of the interest rate applicable to such Revolving Loan shall be separately agreed by the Borrower and the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent.

Section 1.11. Security Principles. The Collateral Documents, guarantee provisions hereof (including as applied to any Counterpart Agreement), and each other guaranty and security document delivered or to be delivered under this Agreement and any obligation to enter into such document or obligation in each case by any Subsidiary shall be granted in accordance with the Agreed Security Principles set forth in Schedule 1.01(d).

Section 1.12. Additional Borrowers.

(a) From time to time on or after the Closing Date, and with three Business Days’ notice to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent may agree), subject to completion of customary “know your customer” procedures and delivery of related information (including, if such Additional Borrower qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, a Beneficial Ownership Certificate as to such Additional Borrower), the Borrower may designate any Subsidiary Guarantor as an additional Borrower (each such person, an “Additional Borrower”) under the Revolving Facility, an Incremental Revolving Facility, an Additional Revolving Facility or a Replacement Revolving Facility, provided that such person prior to or contemporaneously with becoming an Additional Borrower (i) is incorporated in an Approved Jurisdiction and (ii) in the case of an Additional Borrower under any Incremental Revolving Facility or Additional Revolving Facility, is approved by the relevant Incremental Revolving Facility Lenders or Additional Revolving Lenders, as applicable.

(b) Once a person has become an Additional Borrower in accordance with clause (a) above, it shall be a “Borrower” in respect of the applicable Facility and will have the right to request Revolving Loans or Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in accordance with Article 2 hereof until the earlier to occur of the applicable Maturity Date or the date on which such Additional Borrower resigns as an Additional Borrower in accordance with clause (c) below.

(c) An Additional Borrower may elect to resign as an Additional Borrower; provided that: (i) no Default or Event of Default is continuing or would result from the resignation of such Additional Borrower, (ii) such resigning Additional Borrower has delivered to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent a written notice of resignation, (iii) all outstanding Revolving Loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, unpaid fees and other unpaid amounts with respect to such Revolving Loans, extended to it hereunder as a Borrower (in each case, solely if any) shall be deemed to be assigned to Bausch + Lomb Corporation, and Bausch + Lomb Corporation shall be deemed to have assumed such unpaid Revolving Loans, and unpaid interest, unpaid fees and other unpaid amounts with respect to such Revolving Loans (in each case, if any), as its primary obligations as Borrower, and (iv) its obligations in its capacity as Guarantor continue to be legal, valid, binding and enforceable and in full force and effect. Upon satisfaction of the requirements in sub-clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of this clause (c), the relevant Additional Borrower shall cease to be an Additional Borrower and a Borrower.

(d) Each Additional Borrower hereby designates the Borrower as its agent and representative. The Borrower may act as the agent of any Additional Borrower for the purposes of (i) delivering Borrowing Requests, continuation or conversion notices and other notices pursuant to Article 2 hereof (and for the purpose of giving instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of any such Loans or the issuance of any Letters of Credit), (ii) delivering and receiving all other notices, consents, certificates and similar instruments contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and (iii) taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants and certifications) on behalf of any Additional Borrower under any Loan Document. The Borrower hereby accepts such appointment.

(e) In respect of a Loan or Loans to a particular Additional Borrower (“Designated Loans”), any Lender (a “Designating Lender”) may at any time and from time to time designate (by written notice to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and the Borrower): (i) a substitute lending office from which it will make Designated Loans (a “Substitute Facility Office”) or (ii) nominate an Affiliate to act as the Lender of Designated Loans (a “Substitute Affiliate Lender”). A notice to nominate a Substitute Affiliate Lender must be in the form set out in Exhibit O and be countersigned by the relevant Substitute Affiliate Lender confirming it will be bound as a Lender under this Agreement in respect of the Designated Loans in respect of which it acts as Substitute Affiliate Lender. The Designating Lender will act as the representative of any Substitute Affiliate Lender it nominates for all administrative purposes under this Agreement. The Borrower, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and the other Loan Parties will be entitled to deal only with the Designating Lender, except that payments will be made in respect of Designated Loans to the lending office of the Substitute Affiliate Lender. In particular the Loans, Commitments, LC Exposure and Swingline Exposure of the Designating Lender will not be treated as reduced by the introduction of the Substitute Affiliate Lender for voting purposes under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and the Substitute Affiliate Lender will be treated as having no Loans, Commitments, LC Exposure or Swingline Exposure for such voting purposes. Save as mentioned in the immediately preceding sentence, a Substitute Affiliate Lender will be treated as a Lender for all purposes under the Loan Documents and having a Loan, Commitment, LC Exposure or Swingline Exposure equal to the principal amount of all Designated Loans in which it is participating if and for so long as it continues to be a Substitute Affiliate Lender under this Agreement. A Designating Lender may revoke its designation of an Affiliate as a Substitute Affiliate Lender by notice in writing to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and provided that such notice may only take effect when there are no

Designated Loans outstanding to the Substitute Affiliate Lender. Upon such Substitute Affiliate Lender ceasing to be a Substitute Affiliate Lender the Designating Lender will automatically assume (and be deemed to assume without further action by any party) all rights and obligations previously vested in the Substitute Affiliate Lender. If a Designating Lender designates a Substitute Facility Office or Substitute Affiliate Lender in accordance with this clause (e): (i) any Substitute Affiliate Lender shall be treated for the purposes of Section 2.17 as having become a Lender on the date of this Agreement and (ii) the provisions of Section 10.05 shall not apply to or in respect of any Substitute Facility Office or Substitute Affiliate Lender.

(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing, such Borrowing shall comprise an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000 (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof).

Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of ten (10) different Interest Periods in effect for Eurocurrency Rate Borrowings and BA Rate Borrowings at any time outstanding (or such greater number of different Interest Periods as the Applicable Administrative Agent may agree from time to time).

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not, nor shall the Borrower be entitled to, request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date applicable to such Loans.

Section 2.03. Requests for Borrowings. Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans shall be made upon irrevocable notice by the Borrower to the Applicable Administrative Agent (provided that notices in respect of any Borrowings to be made in connection with any acquisition, Investment or irrevocable repayment, redemption or refinancing of Indebtedness may be conditioned on the closing of such acquisition, Investment or irrevocable repayment, redemption or refinancing of such Indebtedness). Each such notice must be in writing and must be received by the

Applicable Administrative Agent (by hand delivery, fax or other electronic transmission (including “.pdf” or “.tif”)) not later than 1:00 p.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested day of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans (or one Business Day in the case of any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans to be made on the Closing Date or on the Second Incremental Amendment Date), (ii) five Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans and (iii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans (other than Swingline Loans) or Canadian Prime Rate Loans (or, in each case, such later time as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Applicable Administrative Agent); provided, however, that if the Borrower wishes to request Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans having an Interest Period of other than one, three or (other than with respect to BA Rate Loans) six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” (A) the applicable notice from the Borrower must be received by the Applicable Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. four Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation (or such later time as is reasonably acceptable to the Applicable Administrative Agent), whereupon the Applicable Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the appropriate Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is available to them and (B) not later than 10:00 a.m. three Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower whether or not the requested Interest Period is available to the appropriate Lenders. Each written notice with respect to a Borrowing by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be delivered to the Applicable Administrative Agent in the form of a written Borrowing Request, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each such Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(a) the Borrower requesting such Borrowing;

(b) the Class of such Borrowing;

(f) in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing or a BA Rate Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and

(g) the location and number of the Borrower’s account or any other designated account(s) to which funds are to be disbursed (the “Funding Account”).

If, with respect to a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If, with respect to a Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars, no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing or BA Rate Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount (and currency) of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

Section 2.04. Swingline Loans.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans in Dollars to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $50,000,000; provided that (x) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make any Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loans and (y) after giving effect to any Swingline Loan, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and LC Exposure shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments. Each Swingline Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of not less than $100,000 or such lesser amount as may be agreed by the Swingline Lender; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Swingline Loan may be in an aggregate amount that is (x) equal to the entire unused balance of the aggregate Unused Revolving Credit Commitments or (y) required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e). Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Swingline Loans may be borrowed, prepaid and reborrowed. To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent) of such request in writing, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower on the same Business Day by means of a credit to the Funding Account or otherwise in accordance with the instructions of the Borrower (including, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e), by remittance to the applicable Issuing Bank).

(b) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. on any Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on the second Business Day following receipt of such notice in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.04(b)), and the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participation in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this Section 2.04(b), and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other Person on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of any Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of any sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted by the Swingline Lender to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and any such amounts received by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that have made their payments

pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and thereafter to the Borrower, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in any Swingline Loan pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

(c) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04 by the time specified in Section 2.04(b), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect and a rate determined by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the Swingline Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (c) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.05. Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) each Issuing Bank agrees, in each case in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.05, (A) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the fifth Business Day prior to the Latest Revolving Loan Maturity Date, upon the request of the Borrower, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or any Alternate Currency issued on sight basis only for the account of the Borrower (or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided that the Borrower will be the applicant) and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.05(b) and (B) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit and (ii) the Revolving Lenders severally agree to participate in the Letters of Credit issued pursuant to Section 2.05(d); provided, further, that after giving effect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit, (w) the aggregate LC Exposure shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments, (x) the LC Exposure of each Revolving Lender shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, (y) the Outstanding Amount of the LC Exposure shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank shall not exceed such Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue Commercial Letters of Credit without its consent.

(i) No Issuing Bank shall have an obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (x) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, (y) customary “know your customer” requirements of such Issuing Bank with respect to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit would be violated or (z) any law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or direct that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall deliver to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, at least three Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank or, in the case of any issuance to be

made on the Closing Date, one Business Day prior to the Closing Date), a request to issue a Letter of Credit, which shall specify that it is being issued under this Agreement, in the form of Exhibit K attached hereto or any other form approved by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Borrower. To request an amendment, extension or renewal of a Letter of Credit (other than any automatic extension of a Letter of Credit permitted under Section 2.05(c)), the Borrower shall submit such a request to the applicable Issuing Bank selected by the Borrower (with a copy to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent) at least three Business Days in advance of the requested date of amendment, extension or renewal (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank), identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, extended or renewed, and specifying the proposed date (which shall be a Business Day) and other details of the amendment, extension or renewal. Requests for the issuance, amendment, extension or renewal of any Letter of Credit must be accompanied by such other information required by the applicable Issuing Bank as shall be necessary to issue, amend, extend or renew such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the applicable Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. No Letter of Credit, letter of credit application or other document entered into by the Borrower with any Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit shall contain any representations or warranties, covenants or events of default not set forth in this Agreement (and to the extent inconsistent herewith shall be rendered null and void or reformed automatically without further action by any Person to conform to the terms of this Agreement), and all representations and warranties, covenants and events of default set forth therein shall contain standards, qualifications, thresholds and exceptions for materiality or otherwise consistent with those set forth in this Agreement (and, to the extent inconsistent herewith, shall be deemed to automatically incorporate the applicable standards, qualifications, thresholds and exceptions set forth herein without action by any Person). A Letter of Credit may be issued, amended, extended or renewed only if (and on the issuance, amendment, extension or renewal of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, extension or renewal, (w) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments, (x) the LC Exposure of each Revolving Lender shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, (y) the aggregate amount of the LC Exposure shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank shall not exceed such Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment. In addition, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend, extend or renew any Letter of Credit if the expiration date of such Letter of Credit extends beyond the Maturity Date applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class unless (1) the aggregate amount of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit expiring after such Maturity Date does not exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect that are scheduled to remain in effect after such Maturity Date, (2) all Revolving Lenders and such Issuing Bank shall have consented to such expiry date, (3) the Borrower shall have caused such Letter of Credit to be backstopped by a “back to back” letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank or (4) the Borrower shall have caused such Letter of Credit to be Cash collateralized in accordance with Section 2.05(j), in the case of clause (3) or (4) on or before the date that such Letter of Credit is issued, amended, extended or renewed beyond such date. Promptly after the delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable Issuing Bank will also deliver to the Borrower and the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. Upon receipt of such Letter of Credit or amendment, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders, in writing, of such Letter of Credit or amendment, and if so requested by a Revolving Lender, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent will provide such Revolving Lender with copies of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(i) Except as set forth in Section 2.05(b), no Standby Letter of Credit shall expire later than the earlier of (A) the date that is one year after the date of the issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit (or such later date to which the relevant Issuing Bank may agree) and (B) five (5) Business Days prior to the Latest Revolving Loan Maturity Date; provided that, any Standby Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic extension thereof for any number of additional periods each of up to one year in duration (none of which, in any event, shall extend beyond the date referred to in the preceding clause (B) unless 100% of the then-available face amount thereof is Cash collateralized or backstopped on or before the date that such Letter of Credit is extended beyond the date referred to in clause (B) above pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Issuing Bank).

(ii) Except as set forth in Section 2.05(b), no Commercial Letter of Credit shall expire later than the earlier to occur of (A) one year after the issuance thereof (or such later date to which the relevant Issuing Bank may agree) and (B) five (5) Business Days prior to the Latest Revolving Loan Maturity Date; provided that any Commercial Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic extension thereof for any number of additional periods each of up to one year in duration (none of which, in any event, shall extend beyond the date referred to in the preceding clause (B) unless 100% of the then-available face amount thereof is Cash collateralized or backstopped on or before the date that such Letter of Credit is extended beyond the date referred to in clause (B) above pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Issuing Bank).

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the applicable Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (in respect of any Letter of Credit issued in any Alternate Currency, expressed in the Dollar Equivalent thereof). In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement.

(i) If the applicable Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent (or, in the case of Commercial Letters of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank) an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately following the date on which the Borrower receives notice under paragraph (g) of this Section of such LC Disbursement (or, if such notice is received less than two hours prior to the deadline for requesting ABR Borrowings pursuant to Section 2.03, on the second Business

Day immediately following the date on which the Borrower receives such notice); provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Loan or a Swingline Loan and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Loan Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.

(ii) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(e) by the time specified therein, such Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate (or, in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in any Alternate Currency, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent’s customary rate for interbank advances in such Alternate Currency) from time to time in effect and a rate determined by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the applicable Issuing Bank submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (ii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein or herein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their respective Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of

Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse such Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of applicable Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that no failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement (or the date on which such LC Disbursement is reimbursed with the proceeds of Loans, as applicable), at the rate per annum then applicable to (x) in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars, Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans, (y) in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, Revolving Loans that are Canadian Prime Rate Loans and (z) in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in any other Alternate Currency, Revolving Loans that are Eurocurrency Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one month or Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans (as applicable); provided that if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(e) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank or Addition of New Issuing Banks. Any Issuing Bank may be replaced with the consent of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Borrower and the successor Issuing Bank at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and the successor Issuing Bank. The Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement becomes effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b)(ii). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such

100

successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of any Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank 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 after such replacement. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the relevant Revolving Lender, designate one or more additional Revolving Lenders to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement. Any Revolving Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this paragraph (i) shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Bank” (in addition to being a Revolving Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Revolving Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term shall thereafter apply to the other Issuing Bank and such Revolving Lender.

(j) Cash Collateralization.

(i) If any Event of Default exists and the Revolving Loans have been declared due and payable in accordance with Article 7 hereof, then on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of Cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph (j), upon such demand, the Borrower shall deposit, in an interest-bearing account with the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, in the name of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders (the “LC Collateral Account”), an amount in Cash equal to 100% of the LC Exposure as of such date (minus the amount then on deposit in the LC Collateral Account); provided that the obligation to deposit such Cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 8.01(f) or (g).

(ii) Any such deposit under clause (i) above shall be held by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (j). The Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account, and the Borrower hereby grants the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a First Priority security interest in the LC Collateral Account. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders) be applied to satisfy other Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (together with all interest and other earnings with respect thereto, to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower promptly but in no event later than three Business Days after such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

(k) Existing Letters of Credit. Each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed a Letter of Credit issued hereunder for all purposes under this Agreement without need for any further action by the Borrower or any other Person.

101

(l) Reporting. Not later than the third Business Day following the last day of each month and on the date of any issuance of any Letter of Credit (or at such other intervals as the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank shall agree), each Issuing Bank shall provide to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent a schedule of the Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, showing the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the account party, the original face amount (if any), the expiration date, and the reference number of any Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during such month, and showing the aggregate amount (if any) payable by the Borrower to such Issuing Bank during such month.

Section 2.06. [Reserved].

Section 2.07. Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m. to the account of the Applicable Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s respective Applicable Percentage; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Applicable Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Funding Account or as otherwise directed by the Borrower; provided that Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of any LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Applicable Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.

(b) Unless the Applicable Administrative Agent has received notice from any Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Applicable Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Applicable Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if any Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Applicable Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Applicable Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Applicable Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate (or, with respect to any amount denominated in any Alternate Currency, the rate of interest per annum at which overnight deposits in the applicable Alternate Currency, in an amount that is approximately equal to the amount with respect to which such rate is being determined, would be offered for such day by the Applicable Administrative Agent in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency) and a rate determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the Loans comprising such Borrowing at such time. If such Lender pays such amount to the Applicable Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing and the Borrower’s obligation to repay the Applicable Administrative Agent such corresponding amount pursuant to this Section 2.07(b) shall cease. If the Borrower pays such amount to the Applicable Administrative Agent, the amount so paid shall constitute a repayment of such Borrowing by such amount. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Applicable Administrative Agent or the Borrower or any other Loan Party may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

Section 2.08. Type; Interest Elections.

102

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing or BA Rate Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert any Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type available in such currency or to continue any Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing or BA Rate Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders based upon their Applicable Percentages and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Loans, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall deliver an Interest Election Request (by hand delivery, fax or other electronic transmission (including “.pdf” or “.tif”)), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, of the applicable election to the Applicable Administrative Agent by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing or a BA Rate Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(c) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(d) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing or BA Rate Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, such Borrowing shall be converted at the end of such Interest Period to a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing or BA Rate Borrowing, as applicable, with an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default exists and the Applicable Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as such Event of Default exists (i) no outstanding Borrowing denominated in Dollars may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the then-current Interest Period applicable thereto.

(e) It is understood and agreed that (i) only a Borrowing denominated in Dollars may be made as, or converted to, an ABR Loan, (ii) only a Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars may be made as, or converted to, a Canadian Prime Rate Loan or a BA Rate Loan, (iii) a Borrowing denominated in Sterling may only be made as, or converted to, or continued as, an Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan (or such other type of Revolving Loan as may be agreed by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and the Borrower pursuant to Section 1.10) and (iv) a Borrowing in Euros may only be made as, or converted to, or continued as, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan (or such other type of Revolving Loan as may be agreed by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and the Borrower pursuant to Section 1.10).

Section 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Unless previously terminated, (i) the Initial Term Loan Commitments on the Closing Date shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Initial Term Loans on the Closing Date, (ii) the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Initial Revolving Credit Maturity Date, (iii) the Additional Term Loan Commitments of any Class shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Additional Term Loans of such Class and, if any such Additional Term Loan

103

Commitment is not drawn on the date that such Additional Term Loan Commitment is required to be drawn pursuant to the applicable Refinancing Amendment, Extension Amendment or Incremental Facility Amendment, the undrawn amount thereof shall terminate unless otherwise provided in the applicable Refinancing Amendment, Extension Amendment or Incremental Facility Amendment and (iv) the Additional Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date specified therefor in the applicable Refinancing Amendment, Extension Amendment or Incremental Facility Amendment.

(b) Upon delivering the notice required by Section 2.09(c), the Borrower may at any time terminate or from time to time reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class if, after giving effect to such termination or reduction, as applicable, and any concurrent prepayment of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure attributable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class would exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class; provided that, after the establishment of any Additional Revolving Credit Commitment, any such termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 2.22, 2.23 and/or 10.02, as applicable.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce any Class or Classes of Revolving Credit Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section (as selected by the Borrower) not later than 1:00 p.m. on or prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (or not later than 1:00 p.m., three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, in the case of a termination or reduction involving a prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Borrowings, Alternative Currency Daily Rate Borrowings or BA Rate Borrowings (or such later date to which the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent may agree)), specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall advise the Revolving Lenders of each applicable Class or Classes of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that any such notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of any Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be permanent. Upon any reduction of any Revolving Credit Commitment, the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Lender of the relevant Class shall be reduced by such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such reduction amount.

Section 2.10. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to repay (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Initial Term Loans to the Term Facility Administrative Agent for the account of each applicable Initial Term Lender commencing on September 30, 2022, on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December prior to the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date (each such date being referred to as an “Initial Loan Installment Date”), in each case in an amount equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Initial Term Loans (as such payments may be reduced from time to time as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with Section 2.11 and purchases or assignments in accordance with Section 10.05(g) or increased as a result of any increase in the amount of such Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.22(a)), (ii) the outstanding principal amount of the First Incremental Term Loans to the ~~First~~ Incremental Term ~~Facility~~Facilities Administrative Agent for the account of each applicable First Incremental Term Lender commencing on December 31, 2023, on the

(c) If the Maturity Date in respect of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments occurs prior to the expiry date of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if one or more other Classes of Revolving Credit

105

Commitments in respect of which the Maturity Date shall not have so occurred are then in effect (or will automatically be in effect upon the occurrence of such Maturity Date), such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.05(d) and Section 2.05(e)) under (and ratably participated in by Revolving Lenders pursuant to) the non-terminating or new Classes of Revolving Credit Commitments up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Revolving Credit Commitments continuing at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) (in each case, after giving effect to any repayments of Revolving Loans) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i) and unless provisions reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank for the treatment of such Letter of Credit as a letter of credit under a successor credit facility have been agreed upon, the Borrower shall, on or prior to the applicable Maturity Date, (x) cause such Letter of Credit to be replaced and returned to the applicable Issuing Bank undrawn and marked “cancelled”, (y) cause such Letter of Credit to be backstopped by a “back to back” letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank or (z) Cash collateralize such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.05(j).

(g) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a Promissory Note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Promissory Note payable to such Lender and its registered permitted assigns; it being understood and agreed that such Lender (and/or its applicable permitted assign) shall be required to return such Promissory Note to the Borrower in accordance with Section 10.05(b)(iii) and upon the occurrence of the Termination Date (or as promptly thereafter as practicable). If any Lender loses the original copy of its Promissory Note, it shall execute an affidavit of loss containing a customary indemnification provision that is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower. The obligation of each Lender to execute an affidavit of loss containing a customary

106

indemnification provision that is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower shall survive the Termination Date.

Section 2.11. Prepayment of Loans.

(a) Optional Prepayments.

(i) Upon prior notice in accordance with paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section, the Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing of Term Loans of one or more Classes (such Class or Classes to be selected by the Borrower in its sole discretion) in whole or in part without premium or penalty (but subject to (A) in the case of Initial Term Loans only, Section 2.12(f)(i), (B) in the case of First Incremental Term Loans only, Section 2.12(f)(ii) and (C) if applicable, Section 2.16). Each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages of the relevant Class.

(ii) Upon prior notice in accordance with paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section, the Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing of Revolving Loans of any Class or any Borrowing of Swingline Loans, including any Additional Revolving Loans, in whole or in part without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.16). Prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)(ii), first, shall be applied ratably to the Swingline Loans and to outstanding LC Disbursements and second, shall be applied ratably to the outstanding Revolving Loans, including any Additional Revolving Loans of the relevant Class.

(iii) The Borrower shall notify the Applicable Administrative Agent (and, in the case of a prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) in writing of any prepayment under this Section 2.11(a) (A) in the case of a prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing or a BA Rate Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m. three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (B) in the case of an Alternative Currency Daily Rate Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m. five Business Days before the date of prepayment, (C) in the case of a prepayment of an ABR Borrowing or a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m. (or, solely in the case of the First Incremental Term Loans and Second Incremental Term Loans, 11:00 a.m.) on the date of prepayment or (D) in the case of a prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of prepayment (or, in each case, such later date or time to which the Applicable Administrative Agent may reasonably agree). Each such notice shall be irrevocable (except as set forth in the proviso to this sentence) and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that a notice of prepayment delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other transactions or other conditional events, in which case such notice may be revoked or its effectiveness deferred by the Borrower (by notice to the Applicable Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied and/or the Borrower may delay or rescind such notice until such condition is satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to any Borrowing, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall advise the relevant Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount at least equal to the amount that would be permitted in the case of a Borrowing of the same Type and Class as provided in Section 2.02(c) or such lesser amount that is then outstanding with respect to such Borrowing being repaid. Each prepayment of Term Loans shall be applied to the Class or Classes of Term Loans specified by the Borrower in the applicable prepayment notice, and each prepayment of Term Loans of such Class or Classes made pursuant to this Section 2.11(a) shall be applied against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Term Loans of such Class or Classes in the manner specified by the Borrower or, if not so specified on or prior to the date of such optional prepayment, in direct order of maturity.

111

time period during which such prepayment is otherwise required to be made pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(i) or (ii) above) under any Requirement of Law or conflict with the fiduciary duties of such Foreign Subsidiary’s directors, or result in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material risk of personal or criminal liability for any officer, director, employee, manager, member of management or consultant of such Foreign Subsidiary (including on account of financial assistance, corporate benefit, thin capitalization, capital maintenance or similar considerations); it being understood and agreed that (i) solely within 365 days following the end of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period or the event giving rise to the relevant Subject Proceeds, the Borrower shall take all commercially reasonable actions required by applicable Requirements of Law to permit such repatriation and (ii) if the repatriation of the relevant affected Excess Cash Flow or Subject Proceeds, as the case may be, is permitted under the applicable Requirement of Law and, to the extent applicable, would no longer conflict with the fiduciary duties of such director, or result in, or be reasonably expected to result in, a material risk of personal or criminal liability for the Persons described above, in either case, within 365 days following the end of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period or the event giving rise to the relevant Subject Proceeds, the relevant Foreign Subsidiary will promptly repatriate the relevant Excess Cash Flow or Subject Proceeds, as the case may be, and the repatriated Excess Cash Flow or Subject Proceeds, as the case may be, will be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional Taxes payable or reserved against such Excess Cash Flow or such Subject Proceeds, as a result thereof, in each case by any Loan Party, such Loan Party’s subsidiaries, and any Affiliates or indirect or direct equity owners of the foregoing) to the repayment of Subject Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) to the extent required herein (without regard to this clause (ivv)), (B) the Borrower shall not be required to prepay any amount that would otherwise be required to be paid pursuant to Sections 2.11(b)(i) or (ii) to the extent that the relevant Excess Cash Flow is generated by any Joint Venture (including any Subsidiary that is not a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary) or the relevant Subject Proceeds are received by any Joint Venture (including any Subsidiary that is not a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary) for so long as the Borrower determines in good faith that the distribution to the Borrower of such Excess Cash Flow or Subject Proceeds would be prohibited under any applicable (I) Organizational Documents (or any relevant shareholders’ or similar agreement) governing such Joint Venture, (II) agreement or instrument (including a financing arrangement) entered into with a Person other than the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary not prohibited by Section 6.03 or (III) judgment, decree, order, statute or governmental rule or regulation; it being understood that if the relevant prohibition ceases to exist within the 365-day period following the end of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period, the event giving rise to the relevant Subject Proceeds, the relevant Joint Venture will promptly distribute the relevant Excess Cash Flow or the relevant Subject Proceeds, as the case may be, and the distributed Excess Cash Flow or Subject Proceeds, as the case may be, will be promptly (and in any event not later than ten Business Days after such distribution) applied (net of additional Taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of Subject Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) to the extent required herein (without regard to this clause (ivv)) and (C) if the Borrower determines in good faith that the repatriation (or other intercompany distribution) to the Borrower of any amounts required to mandatorily prepay the Subject Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(i) or (ii) above would result in material and adverse tax consequences for any Loan Party or any of such Loan Party’s subsidiaries, Affiliates or indirect or direct equity owners, taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation (such amount, a “Restricted Amount”), as determined by the Borrower in good faith, the amount the Borrower shall be required to mandatorily prepay pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(i) or (ii) above, as applicable, shall be reduced by the Restricted Amount; provided that to the extent that the repatriation (or other intercompany distribution) of any Subject Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow from the relevant Foreign Subsidiary would no longer have a material and adverse tax consequence within the 365-day period

112

(vi) ~~(v)~~ Each Lender may elect, by notice to the Term Facility Administrative Agent or the ~~First~~ Incremental Term ~~Facility~~Facilities Administrative Agent, as applicable, at or prior to the time and in the manner specified by the Term Facility Administrative Agent or the ~~First~~ Incremental Term ~~Facility~~Facilities Administrative Agent, as applicable, prior to any prepayment of Initial Term Loans, First Incremental Term Loans, Second Incremental Term Loans and Additional Term Loans required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.11(b), to decline all (but not a portion) of its Applicable Percentage of such prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”), which Declined Proceeds may be retained by the Borrower and used for any legal purpose permitted (or not prohibited) hereunder, including to increase the Available Amount; provided further that, for the avoidance of doubt, no Lender may reject any prepayment made under Section 2.11(b)(iii) above or, to the extent that such prepayment is made with the Net Proceeds of (w) Refinancing Indebtedness (including Replacement Debt) incurred to refinance all or a portion of the Initial Term Loans or Additional Term Loans pursuant to Section 6.01(p), (x) Incremental Term Loans incurred to refinance all or a portion of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.22, (y) Replacement Term Loans incurred to refinance all or a portion of the Term Loans in accordance with the requirements of Section 10.02(c) and/or (z) Incremental Equivalent Debt incurred to refinance all or a portion of the Term Loans in accordance with the requirements of Section 6.01(z), Section 2.11(b)(iv) above. If any Lender fails to deliver a notice to the Term Facility Administrative Agent or the ~~First~~ Incremental Term ~~Facility~~Facilities Administrative Agent, as applicable, of its election to decline receipt of its Applicable Percentage of any mandatory prepayment within the time frame specified by the Term Facility Administrative Agent or the ~~First~~ Incremental Term ~~Facility~~Facilities Administrative Agent, as applicable, such failure will be deemed to constitute an acceptance of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Initial Term Loans, First Incremental Term Loans, Second Incremental Term Loans and Additional Term Loans.

(vii) ~~(vi)~~ Except as set forth in Section 2.11(b)(iii) or as may otherwise be set forth in any amendment to this Agreement in connection with any Additional Term Loan, (A) each prepayment of Initial Term Loans and Additional Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) shall be applied ratably to each Class of Term Loans (based upon the then outstanding principal amounts of the respective Classes of Term Loans) (provided that any prepayment constituting (w) Refinancing Indebtedness (including Replacement Debt) incurred to refinance all or a portion of Initial Term Loans or Additional Term Loans pursuant to Section 6.01(p), (x) Incremental Loans incurred to refinance all or a portion of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.22, (y) Replacement Term Loans incurred to refinance all or a portion of the Term Loans in accordance with the requirements of Section 10.02(c) and/or (z) Incremental Equivalent Debt incurred to refinance all or a portion of the Term Loans in accordance with the requirements of Section 6.01(z) shall, in each case be applied solely to each applicable Class of refinanced or replaced Term Loans), (B) with respect to each Class of Initial Term Loans and Additional Term Loans, all accepted prepayments under Section 2.11(b)(i), (ii) or (~~iii~~iv) shall be applied against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Initial Term Loans and Additional Term Loans as directed by the Borrower (or, in the absence of direction from the Borrower, to the remaining scheduled amortization payments in respect of the Initial Term Loans and Additional Term Loans in direct order of maturity) ~~and~~, (C) with respect to the Second Incremental Term Loans, all prepayments under Section 2.11(b)(iii) shall be applied against the remaining

113

scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Second Incremental Term Loans as directed by the Borrower (or, in the absence of direction from the Borrower, to the remaining scheduled amortization payments in respect of the Second Incremental Term Loans in direct order of maturity) and (D) each such prepayment shall be paid to the Term Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages. The amount of such mandatory prepayments shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the then outstanding Initial Term Loans and Additional Term Loans being prepaid irrespective of whether such outstanding Loans are ABR Loans, Eurocurrency Rate Loans, Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans or Loans of any other Type. Any prepayment of Initial Term Loans or First Incremental Term Loans, respectively, made on or prior to the Initial Term Loan Soft Call Termination Date or First Incremental Term Loan Soft Call Termination Date, respectively, pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(~~iii~~iv) as part of a Repricing Transaction shall be accompanied by the fee set forth in Section 2.12(f).

(viii) ~~(vii)~~ In the event that on any Revaluation Date (after giving effect to the determination of the Outstanding Amount of each Revolving Loan, Letter of Credit and LC Disbursement) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Class exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class then in effect, the Borrower shall, within five Business Days of receipt of notice from the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, prepay the Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans and/or reduce LC Exposure in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Revolving Credit Exposure as of the date of such payment to an amount not to exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class then in effect by taking any of the following actions as it shall determine at its sole discretion: (A) prepaying Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans or (B) with respect to any excess LC Exposure, depositing Cash in the LC Collateral Account or “backstopping” or replacing the relevant Letters of Credit, in each case, in an amount equal to 100% of such excess LC Exposure (minus any amount then on deposit in the LC Collateral Account).

(ix) ~~(viii)~~ At the time of each prepayment required under Section 2.11(b)(i), (ii) or, (iii) or (iv), the Borrower shall deliver to each Applicable Administrative Agent a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment in the form attached as Exhibit M hereto. Each such certificate shall specify the Borrowings being prepaid, the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid and the Applicable Administrative Agent with respect to each such Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest as required by Section 2.13. All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.11(b) shall be subject to Section 2.16 and, except as set forth in the last sentence of clause (vivii) above, shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.

Section 2.12. Fees.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender of any Class (other than any Defaulting Lender) a fee, which shall accrue at a rate equal to the (x) prior to the Investment Grade Trigger Date, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”), which shall accrue at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum on the daily amount of the unused amount of Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender at all times during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the earlier of (i) the Investment Grade Trigger Date and (ii) the date on which such Commitment terminates and (y) on and after the Investment Grade Trigger Date, a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”), which shall accrue at the rate set forth under the heading “Facility Fee” under the definition of Applicable Rate on the daily amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender (whether used or unused) during the period from and including the Investment Grade Trigger Date to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Credit Commitment terminates. Accrued Commitment

114

Fees and Facility Fees (as applicable) shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December for the quarterly period then ended (commencing on September 30, 2022, but in the case of the payment made on such date, for the period from the Closing Date to such date) and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class terminate. For purposes of calculating the Commitment Fees and Facility Fees only, no portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be deemed utilized as a result of outstanding Swingline Loans.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender of any Class (other than any Defaulting Lender) a participation fee with respect to its participation in each Letter of Credit, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Rate Revolving Loans on the daily face amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to its Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class in respect of such Letter of Credit (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements), during the period from and including the Closing Date to the later of the date on which such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure related to its Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class in respect of such Letter of Credit (including any such LC Exposure that may exist following the termination of such Revolving Credit Commitments) and (ii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee, in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit (or if terminated on an earlier date, to the termination date of such Letter of Credit), computed at a rate equal to the rate agreed by such Issuing Bank and the Borrower (but in any event not to exceed 0.125% per annum) of the daily face amount of such Letter of Credit, as well as such Issuing Bank’s reasonable and customary fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued to but excluding the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December shall be payable in arrears for the quarterly period then ended (or, in the case of the payment made on September 30, 2022, for the period from the Closing Date to such date) on the last Business Day of such calendar quarter; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class terminate, and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 30 days after receipt of a written demand (accompanied by reasonable back-up documentation) therefor.

(d) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, for its own account, the fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon by the Borrower and such Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, in writing.

(e) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, to the Applicable Administrative Agent (or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of Commitment Fees, Facility Fees and participation fees, to the Revolving Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances except as otherwise provided in the Fee Letter or, First Incremental Fee Letter or Second Incremental Fee Letter, as applicable. Fees payable hereunder shall accrue through and including the last day of the month immediately preceding the applicable fee payment date.

(f) (i) In the event that, on or prior to the date that is six months after the Closing Date (the “Initial Term Loan Soft Call Termination Date”), the Borrower (x) prepays, repays, refinances, substitutes or replaces any Initial Term Loans in connection with a Repricing Transaction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(~~iii~~iv) that constitutes a

115

Repricing Transaction) with respect to Initial Term Loans or (y) effects any amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent under, this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction with respect to the Initial Term Loans, the Borrower shall pay to the Term Facility Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Initial Term Lenders, (I) in the case of clause (x), a premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans so prepaid, repaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced and (II) in the case of clause (y), a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans that are the subject of such Repricing Transaction outstanding immediately prior to such amendment. If, on or prior to the Initial Term Loan Soft Call Termination Date, all or any portion of the Initial Term Loans held by any Term Lender are prepaid, repaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced pursuant to Section 2.19(b)(iv) as a result of, or in connection with, such Term Lender not agreeing or otherwise consenting to any waiver, consent, modification or amendment referred to in clause (y) above (or otherwise in connection with a Repricing Transaction), such prepayment, repayment, refinancing, substitution or replacement will be made at 101% of the principal amount so prepaid, repaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced. All such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, the Initial Term Loan Soft Call Termination Date has occurred.

(ii) In the event that, on or prior to the date that is six months after the First Incremental Amendment Date (the “First Incremental Term Loan Soft Call Termination Date”), the Borrower (x) prepays, repays, refinances, substitutes or replaces any First Incremental Term Loans in connection with a Repricing Transaction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(~~iii~~iv) that constitutes a Repricing Transaction) with respect to First Incremental Term Loans or (y) effects any amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent under, this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction with respect to the First Incremental Term Loans, the Borrower shall pay to the ~~First~~ Incremental Term ~~Facility~~Facilities Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable First Incremental Term Lenders, (I) in the case of clause (x), a premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the First Incremental Term Loans so prepaid, repaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced and (II) in the case of clause (y), a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the First Incremental Term Loans that are the subject of such Repricing Transaction outstanding immediately prior to such amendment. If, on or prior to the First Incremental Term Loan Soft Call Termination Date, all or any portion of the First Incremental Term Loans held by any Term Lender are prepaid, repaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced pursuant to Section 2.19(b)(iv) as a result of, or in connection with, such Term Lender not agreeing or otherwise consenting to any waiver, consent, modification or amendment referred to in clause (y) above (or otherwise in connection with a Repricing Transaction with respect to such First Incremental Term Loans), such prepayment, repayment, refinancing, substitution or replacement of First Incremental Term Loans will be made at 101% of the principal amount of First Incremental Term Loans so prepaid, repaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced. All such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction with respect to such First Incremental Term Loans.

(g) Unless otherwise indicated herein, all computations of fees shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and shall be payable for the actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Each determination by the Applicable Administrative Agent of the amount of any fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 2.13. Interest.

(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including Swingline Loans) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

116

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at the Eurocurrency Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) The Loans comprising (i) each Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Rate and (ii) each BA Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at the BA Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(d) The Loans comprising each Alternative Currency Daily Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternative Currency Daily Rate for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the existence and continuance of any Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any LC Disbursement or any fee payable by the Borrower hereunder is not, in each case, paid or reimbursed when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, the relevant overdue amount shall bear interest, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal or interest of any Loan or unreimbursed LC Disbursement, 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan or LC Disbursement as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or Section 2.05(h) or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.00% plus the rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section; provided that no amount shall be payable pursuant to this Section 2.13(e) to any Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender; provided further that no amounts shall accrue pursuant to this Section 2.13(e) on any overdue amount, reimbursement obligation in respect of any LC Disbursement or other amount payable to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(f) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and on the Maturity Date applicable to such Loan or, in the case of any Revolving Loan, upon the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class, as applicable; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan, Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Revolving Loan prior to the termination of the relevant revolving Commitments), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or BA Rate Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. Accrued interest for any Class of Additional Loans shall be payable as set forth in the applicable Refinancing Amendment, Incremental Facility Amendment or Extension Amendment.

(g) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest (i) computed for ABR Loans based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), (ii) interest computed for Canadian Prime Rate Revolving Loans and BA Rate Revolving Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day), (iii) for Borrowings denominated in Sterling shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days, and in each case, shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) and (iv) in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in Alternate Currencies (other than Canadian Dollars or Sterling) as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, shall be computed in accordance with such market practice. The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Eurocurrency Rate, Alternative Currency Daily Rate, Canadian Prime Rate or BA Rate shall be determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Interest shall accrue on each Loan from the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a

117

Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day.

(h) For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), whenever any interest or fee under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is calculated using a rate based on a number of days less than a full year, such rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate based on a year of 360, 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest or fee is payable (or compounded) ends, and (z) divided by the number of days based on which such rate is calculated. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

Section 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. If at least two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing or for a BA Rate Borrowing or prior to the extension of, or conversion to, an Alternative Currency Daily Rate Borrowing:

(a) the Applicable Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate, the Alternative Currency Daily Rate or the BA Rate or that the Eurocurrency Rate cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, as applicable, for such Interest Period;

(b) the Applicable Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Eurocurrency Rate or the BA Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; or

then the Applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Applicable Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, which the Applicable Administrative Agent agrees promptly to do, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing, Alternative Currency Daily Rate Borrowing or a BA Rate Borrowing, as applicable, shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing or, solely in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars, a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto or, in the case of an Alternative Currency Daily Rate Borrowing, immediately, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing, an Alternative Currency Daily Rate Borrowing or a BA Rate Borrowing, as applicable, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing or, solely in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars, a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing.

Section 2.15. Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law:

(i) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Eurocurrency Rate, Alternative Currency Daily Rate or the BA Rate) or Issuing Bank;

118

(ii) subjects any Lender or Issuing Bank or any Administrative Agent to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) in respect of its loans, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) imposes on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans made by any Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the relevant Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan or BA Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan, BA Rate Loan or Letter of Credit in an amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing Bank to be material, then, within 30 days after the Borrower’s receipt of the certificate contemplated by paragraph (c) of this Section, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that the Borrower shall not be liable for such compensation if (x) the relevant Change in Law occurs on a date prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto, (y) such Lender invokes Section 2.20 or (z) in the case of requests for reimbursement under clause (iii) above resulting from a market disruption, (A) the relevant circumstances do not generally affect the banking market or (B) the applicable request has not been made by Lenders constituting Required Lenders.

(b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding liquidity or capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law other than due to Taxes (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then within 30 days of receipt by the Borrower of the certificate contemplated by paragraph (c) of this Section the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Any Lender or Issuing Bank requesting compensation under this Section 2.15 shall be required to deliver a certificate to the Borrower that (i) sets forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, (ii) sets forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined and (iii) certifies that such Lender or Issuing Bank is generally charging such amounts to similarly situated borrowers, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days

119

prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the conversion or prepayment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan (other than any Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in Dollars) or BA Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration or otherwise), (b) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Rate Loan (other than any Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in Dollars) or BA Rate Loan on the date or in the amount specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (c) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan (other than any Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in Dollars) or BA Rate Loan of any Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense incurred by such Lender that is attributable to such event (other than loss of profit). In the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan (other than any Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in Dollars) or BA Rate Loan, the loss, cost or expense of any Lender shall be the amount reasonably determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Eurocurrency Rate or BA Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan) over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar or applicable interbank market; it being understood that such loss, cost or expense shall in any case exclude any interest rate floor and all administrative, processing or similar fees. Any Lender requesting compensation under this Section 2.16 shall be required to deliver a certificate to the Borrower (i) setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section, the basis therefor and, in reasonable detail, the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined and (ii) certifying that such Lender is generally charging the relevant amounts to similarly situated borrowers, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.17. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Requirements of Law. If any applicable Requirement of Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by any applicable withholding agent, then (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the amount payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) having been made by the applicable withholding agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank (as applicable) (or, where any Administrative Agent receives a payment for its own account, such Administrative Agent), receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and (iii) such withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.

120

(b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.

(c) Each Loan Party shall indemnify each Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank within 30 days after receipt of the certificate described in the succeeding sentence, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes payable or paid by such Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section), as applicable, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided that if such Loan Party reasonably believes that such Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, such Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Loan Party to obtain a refund of such Taxes (which shall be repaid to such Loan Party in accordance with Section 2.17(g)) so long as such efforts would not, in the sole determination of such Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank, result in any additional out-of-pocket costs or expenses not reimbursed by such Loan Party or be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable. In connection with any request for reimbursement under this Section 2.17(c), the relevant Lender, Issuing Bank or Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis and calculation of the amount of the relevant payment or liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.17(c), the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.17(c) for any incremental interest or penalties resulting from a failure of such Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, to notify the Borrower of the relevant possible indemnification claim within 180 days after such Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank receives written notice from the applicable taxing authority of the specific tax assessment giving rise to such indemnification claim.

(d) [reserved]

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agents 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 that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agents.

(f) Status of Lenders and Issuing Banks.

(i) Any Lender and any Issuing Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Applicable Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Applicable Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation as the Borrower or the Applicable Administrative Agent may reasonably request to permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender and any Issuing Bank, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Applicable Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Applicable Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Applicable Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender or Issuing Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes each Administrative Agent to deliver to the Borrower and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided to such Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.17(f).

121

(ii) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees that if any documentation it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such documentation or promptly notify the Borrower and the Applicable Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.

(iii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,

(A) any Lender or Issuing Bank that is a U.S. Person (a “U.S. Lender/Issuing Bank”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Applicable Administrative Agent on or about the date on which such U.S. Lender/Issuing Bank becomes a Lender or the Issuing Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Applicable Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Lender that is not a U.S. Lender/Issuing Bank (a “Non-U.S. Lender/Issuing Bank”) shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Applicable Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender/Issuing Bank becomes a Lender or Issuing Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Applicable Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender/Issuing Bank claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender/Issuing Bank claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and no payments in connection with the Agreement are effectively connected with such Non-U.S. Lender/Issuing Bank’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

122

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

(C) any Lender or Issuing Bank shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Applicable Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Lender or Issuing Bank becomes a Lender or Issuing Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Applicable Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law to permit the Borrower or the Applicable Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

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

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, a Lender or Issuing Bank shall not be required to deliver any documentation under this Section 2.17(e) to the extent it is legally ineligible to deliver.

(g) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes (whether received in cash or applied by the taxing authority granting the refund to offset other Taxes otherwise owed) 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 the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such indemnifying party under this Section 2.17 with respect to the

123

Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) of such indemnified party, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such indemnifying party, upon the request of the indemnified party, agrees to repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event the indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) to the extent that the payment thereof would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the position that the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Minimum Interest. As part of entering into this Agreement, the parties hereto have assumed that the interest payable at the rates set forth in this Agreement is not and will not become subject to Swiss Federal Withholding Tax. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that in the event that (A) Swiss Federal Withholding Tax is due on interest payments or other payments by any Loan Party under this Agreement and (B) Section 2.17(a) is unenforceable for any reason, where payment of an additional amount would otherwise be required by the terms of Section 2.17(a):

(x) the applicable interest rate in relation to that interest payment shall be (i) the interest rate which would have applied to that interest payment divided by (ii) 1 minus the rate at which the relevant Swiss Federal Withholding Tax deduction is required to be made under Swiss domestic tax law and/or applicable double taxation treaties (where the rate at which the relevant Swiss Federal Withholding Tax deduction is required to be made is for this purpose expressed as a fraction of 1); and

(y) the Loan Party shall (i) pay the relevant interest at the adjusted rate in accordance with paragraph (x) above, (ii) make the Swiss Federal Withholding Tax deduction on the interest so recalculated and (iii) all references to a rate of interest under the Agreement shall be construed accordingly.

To the extent that interest payable by any Loan Party under this Agreement becomes subject to Swiss Federal Withholding Tax, the parties shall promptly cooperate in completing any procedural formalities (including submitting forms and documents required by the Swiss or foreign tax authorities) to the extent possible and necessary (i) for the Loan Party to obtain the authorization from the Swiss Federal Tax Administration to make interest payments without them being subject to Swiss Federal Withholding Tax or being subject to Swiss Federal Withholding Tax at a reduced rate under applicable double taxation treaties and (ii) to ensure that any person entitled to a full or partial refund under any applicable double taxation treaty is so refunded.

Section 2.17(g) equally applies to this Section 2.17(h).

(i) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of any Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, any Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

124

(j) For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Requirements of Law” includes FATCA.

Section 2.18. Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Payments.

(a) Unless otherwise specified, the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 or otherwise) prior to the time expressed hereunder or under such Loan Document (or, if no time is expressly required, by 2:00 p.m.) on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.17) or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Applicable Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Applicable Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to the Borrower by the Applicable Administrative Agent, except payments to be made directly to the applicable Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Applicable Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Applicable Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round such Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount. Except as set forth in any amendment entered into pursuant to Section 10.02(b)(ii)(E) with respect to the making of Revolving Loans or Letters of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars, all payments (including accrued interest) hereunder shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Applicable Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Applicable Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Applicable Administrative Agent to make such payment.

(b) Subject in all respects to the provisions of any applicable Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, all proceeds of Collateral received by the Collateral Agent at any time when an Event of Default exists and all or any portion of the Loans have been accelerated hereunder pursuant to Section 8.01 shall, upon election by the Collateral Agent or at the direction of the Required Lenders, be applied, first, on a pro rata basis, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Collateral Agent, any Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank from the Borrower constituting Loan Document Obligations, second, on a pro rata basis, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrower constituting Loan Document Obligations, third, to pay interest due and payable in respect of any Loans, on a pro rata basis, fourth, to prepay principal on the Loans and unreimbursed LC Disbursements, all Banking Services Obligations and all Secured Hedging Obligations on a pro rata basis among the Secured Parties, fifth, to pay an amount to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent equal to 100% of the LC Exposure (minus the amount then on deposit in the LC Collateral Account) on such date, to be held in the LC Collateral Account as Cash collateral for such Loan Document Obligations, on a pro rata basis; provided that if any Letter of Credit expires undrawn, then any Cash collateral held to secure the related LC Exposure shall be applied in accordance with this Section 2.18(b), beginning with clause first above, sixth, to the payment of any other Obligation due to any Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party by the Borrower on a pro rata basis, seventh, as provided for under any applicable Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and eighth, to the Borrower or as the Borrower shall direct.

(c) If any Lender obtains payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans of any Class

125

or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans held by it resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans of such Class and participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender with Loans of such Class and participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for Cash at face value) participations in the Loans and sub-participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans of other Lenders of such Class at such time outstanding to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders of such Class ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans of such Class and participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by any Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any permitted assignee or participant, including any payment made or deemed made in connection with Sections 2.22, 2.23, 10.02(c) and/or Section 10.05. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Requirements of Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Applicable Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.18(c) and will, in each case, notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.18(c) shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Loan Document Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Loan Document Obligations purchased.

(d) Unless the Applicable Administrative Agent has received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender or any Issuing Bank hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Applicable Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each Lender or the applicable Issuing Bank severally agrees to repay to the Applicable Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Applicable Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate (or, with respect to any such amounts denominated in an Alternate Currency, the Applicable Administrative Agent’s customary rate for interbank advances in such Alternate Currency) and a rate determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Lender fails to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.07(b) or Section 2.18(d), then the Applicable Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

126

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or such Lender determines it can no longer make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans, Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans pursuant to Section 2.20, or any Loan Party is required to pay any additional amount to or indemnify any Lender, Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender or Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or its participation in any Letter of Credit affected by such event, or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or Issuing Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as applicable, in the future or mitigate the impact of Section 2.20, as the case may be, and (ii) would not subject such Lender or Issuing Bank to any material unreimbursed out-of-pocket cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or Issuing Bank in any material respect. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or Issuing Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or such Lender determines it can no longer make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans, Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan or BA Rate Loans pursuant to Section 2.20, (ii) any Loan Party is required to pay any additional amount to or indemnify any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or (iv) in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender”, “each Revolving Lender” or “each Lender directly affected thereby” (or any other Class or group of Lenders other than the Required Lenders) with respect to which Required Lender or Required Revolving Lender consent (or the consent of Lenders holding loans or commitments of such Class or lesser group representing more than 50% of the sum of the total loans and unused commitments of such Class or lesser group at such time) has been obtained, as applicable, any Lender is a non-consenting Lender (each such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Applicable Administrative Agent, (x) terminate the applicable Commitments and/or Additional Commitments of such Lender, and procure the repayment of all Loan Document Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the applicable Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date under one or more Credit Facilities or Additional Credit Facilities as the Borrower may elect or (y) replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to assign and delegate (and such Lender shall be obligated to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.05), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if any Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (A) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of its Loans and, if applicable, participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, in each case of such Class of Loans, Commitments and/or Additional Commitments, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder with respect to such Class of Loans, Commitments and/or Additional Commitments, (B) in the case of any assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (C) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law. No action by or consent of a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of the amounts described in clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence. No Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) shall be required to make any such assignment and delegation, and the Borrower may not repay the Loan Document Obligations of such Lender and the Borrower may not terminate its Commitments or Additional Commitments, if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each Lender agrees that if it is replaced pursuant to this Section 2.19, it shall execute and deliver to the Applicable Administrative

127

Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the Applicable Administrative Agent any Promissory Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by one or more Promissory Notes) subject to such Assignment and Assumption (provided that the failure of any Lender replaced pursuant to this Section 2.19 to execute an Assignment and Assumption or deliver any such Promissory Note shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid), such assignment shall be recorded in the Register and any such Promissory Note shall be deemed cancelled. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Applicable Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Lender and in the name of such Lender, from time to time in the Applicable Administrative Agent’s discretion, with prior written notice to such Lender, to take any action and to execute any such Assignment and Assumption or other instrument that the Applicable Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this clause (b). To the extent that any Lender is replaced pursuant to Section 2.19(b)(iv) in connection with a Repricing Transaction requiring payment of a fee pursuant to Section 2.12(f), the Borrower shall pay to each Lender being replaced as a result of such Repricing Transaction the fee set forth in Section 2.12(f).

Section 2.20. Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate, Alternative Currency Daily Rate or BA Rate (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternate Currency), or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, Alternative Currency Daily Rate or the BA Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or an Alternate Currency in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Applicable Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to (A) make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans, Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans in Dollars or such Alternate Currency, (B) in the case of Dollars, to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans or (C) in the case of Canadian Dollars, to convert Canadian Prime Rate Loans to BA Rate Loans, shall be suspended and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining ABR Loans denominated in Dollars the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender, shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist (which notice such Lender agrees to give promptly). Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Applicable Administrative Agent), prepay or (A) if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars, convert all of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans and Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans to ABR Loans (the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality), be determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate or (B) if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Canadian Dollars, convert all of such Lender’s BA Rate Loans to Canadian Prime Rate Loans, in each case, either (1) on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or BA Rate Loans, as applicable, to such day, or (2) immediately, in the case of any Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans or if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans, as applicable (in which case the Borrower shall not be required to make payments pursuant to Section 2.16 in connection with such payment), (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate the Applicable Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component thereof until the Applicable Administrative Agent is advised in writing by

128

such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate and (z) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the BA Rate, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Canadian Prime Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the BA Rate component thereof until the Applicable Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the BA Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the determination of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

Section 2.21. Defaulting 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) Commitment Fees and Facility Fees shall cease to accrue on the otherwise applicable portion of any Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and, subject to clause (d)(iv) below, on the participation of such Defaulting Lender in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.12(b) and pursuant to any other provisions of this Agreement or other Loan Document.

(b) The Commitments, Loans and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders, each affected Lender, the Required Lenders, the Required Revolving Lenders or such other number of Lenders as may be required hereby or under any other Loan Document have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any waiver, amendment or modification pursuant to Section 10.02); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender disproportionately and adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(c) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of any Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 2.11, Section 2.15, Section 2.16, Section 2.17, Section 2.18, Article 8, Section 10.05 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Applicable Administrative Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.09), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent and, where relevant, the Borrower as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agents hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any applicable Issuing Bank and/or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, if so reasonably determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent or reasonably requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, to be held as Cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender in respect of any participation in any Letter of Credit; fourth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, as the Borrower may request, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement; fifth, if so determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent or the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the non-Defaulting Lenders, Issuing Banks or Swingline Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any non-Defaulting Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this

129

Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Exposure in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loan or LC Exposure was made or created, as applicable, at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Exposure owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Exposure owed to, such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to any Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by any Defaulting Lender or to post Cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.21(c) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(d) If any Swingline Loans or LC Exposure exists at the time any Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) all or any part of such Swingline Loans and LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that, subject to Section 10.23, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from such Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Requirements of Law, within two Business Days following notice by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, Cash collateralize 100% of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure and any obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund participations in any Swingline Loan (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to paragraph (i) above and any Cash collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender or pursuant to Section 2.21(c) above) or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and to the applicable Issuing Bank and/or Swingline Lender with respect to such LC Exposure and/or Swingline Loans and obligations to fund participations. Cash collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce LC Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (A) the elimination of the applicable LC Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of the Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 2.19)) or (B) the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash collateral (including as a result of any subsequent reallocation of Swingline Loans and LC Exposure among non-Defaulting Lenders described in clause (i) above);

(iii) (A) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.21(d), then the fees payable to the Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and (b), as the case may be, shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation and (B) if the LC Exposure of any Defaulting Lender is Cash collateralized pursuant to this Section 2.21(d), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the applicable Issuing Bank, any Lender or the Borrower hereunder, no letter of credit fees shall be payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure; and

(iv) if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is not Cash collateralized, prepaid or reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.21(d), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of

the applicable Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Bank until such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is Cash collateralized or reallocated.

(e) So long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan, and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, create, incur, amend or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is reasonably satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders, Cash collateral provided pursuant to Section 2.21(c) and/or Cash collateral provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.21(d), and participating interests in any such or newly issued, extended or created Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.21(d)(i) (it being understood that Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

(f) In the event that the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree that any Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Applicable Percentage of Swingline Loans and LC Exposure of the Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and on such date such Revolving Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Revolving Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) or participations in Revolving Loans as the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall determine as are necessary in order for such Revolving Lender to hold such Revolving Loans or participations in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Class. Notwithstanding the fact that any Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, (x) no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender and (y) except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.22. Incremental Credit Extensions.

(a) The Borrower (or Subsidiary Guarantors that will become Borrowers) may, at any time, on one or more occasions pursuant to an Incremental Facility Amendment (i) add one or more new Classes of term facilities and/or increase the principal amount of the Term Loans of any existing Class by requesting new term loan commitments to be added to such Loans (any such new Class or increase, an “Incremental Term Facility” and any loans made pursuant to an Incremental Term Facility, “Incremental Term Loans”) and/or (ii) add one or more new Classes of revolving commitments and/or increase the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any existing Class (any such new Class or increase, an “Incremental Revolving Facility” and, together with any Incremental Term Facility, “Incremental Facilities”, or either or any thereof, an “Incremental Facility”; and the loans thereunder, “Incremental Revolving Loans” and, together with any Incremental Term Loans, “Incremental Loans”) in an aggregate outstanding principal amount not to exceed the Incremental Cap; provided that:

(i) no Incremental Commitment in respect of any Incremental Term Facility may be in an amount that is less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount to which the Applicable Administrative Agent with respect to the applicable Term Facility may reasonably agree),

(ii) except as separately agreed from time to time between the Borrower and any Lender, no Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Commitment, and the

131

determination to provide such commitments shall be within the sole and absolute discretion of such Lender (it being agreed that the Borrower shall not be obligated to offer the opportunity to any Lender to participate in any Incremental Facility),

(iii) no Incremental Facility or Incremental Loan (nor the creation, provision or implementation thereof) shall require the approval of any existing Lender other than in its capacity, if any, as a lender providing all or part of such Incremental Facility or Incremental Loan,

(iv) any such Incremental Revolving Facility shall either (A) be subject to the same terms and conditions as any then-existing Revolving Facility (and be deemed added to, and made a part of, such Revolving Facility) (it being understood that, if required to consummate an Incremental Revolving Facility, the Borrower may increase the pricing, interest rate margins, rate floors and undrawn fees on the applicable Revolving Facility being increased for all lenders under such Revolving Facility, but additional upfront or similar fees may be payable to the lenders participating in such Incremental Revolving Facility without any requirement to pay such amounts to any existing Revolving Lenders) or (B) mature no earlier than, and require no scheduled mandatory commitment reduction prior to, the Initial Revolving Credit Maturity Date and all other material terms (other than pricing, maturity, upfront, arrangement, structuring, underwriting, ticking, consent, amendment and other fees, participation in mandatory prepayments or commitment reductions and immaterial terms, which shall be determined by the Borrower) shall be (x) substantially consistent with the Initial Revolving Loans or (y) reasonably satisfactory to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent (it being understood that if any financial maintenance covenant or other more favorable provision is added for the benefit of any Incremental Revolving Facility, no consent shall be required from the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent or any Lender to the extent that such financial maintenance covenant or other provision is (1) also added for the benefit of any then-existing Revolving Facility or (2) only applicable after the applicable Latest Revolving Loan Maturity Date),

(v) the Effective Yield (and the components thereof) applicable to any Incremental Facility may be determined by the Borrower and the lender or lenders providing such Incremental Facility; provided that, in the case of any broadly syndicated Dollar-denominated Incremental Term Facility that is secured on a pari passu basis with the Initial Term Loans or the First Incremental Term Loans (as applicable), the Effective Yield applicable thereto may not be more than 0.50% higher than the Effective Yield applicable to the Initial Term Loans or the First Incremental Term Loans (each, as applicable) unless the Applicable Rate (and/or, as provided in the proviso below, the Alternate Base Rate floor or Eurocurrency Rate floor) with respect to the Initial Term Loans and/or the First Incremental Term Loans, as applicable, is adjusted such that the Effective Yield on the Initial Term Loans and the First Incremental Term Loans (each, as applicable) is not more than 0.50% per annum less than the Effective Yield with respect to such Incremental Facility (this proviso, the “MFN Provision”); provided further that any increase in Effective Yield applicable to any Initial Term Loan and/or First Incremental Term Loan (as applicable) due to the application or imposition of an Alternate Base Rate floor or Eurocurrency Rate floor on any Incremental Term Loan may, at the election of the Borrower, be effected through an increase in (or implementation of, as applicable) any Alternate Base Rate floor or Eurocurrency Rate floor applicable to such Initial Term Loans or First Incremental Term Loans, as applicable, or an increase in the interest rate margin applicable to such Incremental Loans; provided further that the MFN Provision shall not apply to (1) (A) with respect to the Initial Term Loans, Incremental Term Facilities having an aggregate initial principal amount not exceeding the greater of (x) $375,000,000 and (y) 50% of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as of the last day of the most recently ended Test Period and (B) with respect to the First Incremental Term Loans,

132

Incremental Term Facilities having an aggregate initial principal amount not exceeding the greater of (x) $375,000,000 and (y) 50% of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as of the last day of the most recently ended Test Period, (2) any Incremental Term Facility scheduled to mature on or after the date that is one year after the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, (3) (x) with respect to the Initial Term Loans, any Incremental Term Facility incurred more than 18 months after the Closing Date and (y) with respect to the First Incremental Term Loans, any Incremental Term Facility incurred more than 18 months after the First Incremental Amendment Date, (4) solely with respect to the First Incremental Term Loans, any Incremental Term Facility incurred in connection with a Permitted Acquisition or other Investment permitted hereby or to refinance Indebtedness incurred in connection with a Permitted Acquisition or other Investment permitted hereby, (5) Customary Term A Loans and (6) customary bridge loans with a maturity date of no longer than one year that are convertible or exchangeable into, or are intended to be refinanced with, any Indebtedness other than broadly syndicated Dollar-denominated term loans that are pari passu with the Initial Term Loans in right of payment and with respect to security,

(vi) subject to the Permitted Earlier Maturity Indebtedness Exception, the final maturity date with respect to any Incremental Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date or, the First Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date or the Second Incremental Maturity Date at the time of the incurrence thereof; provided, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to (A) customary bridge loans with a maturity date not longer than one year; provided, that any loans, notes, securities or other Indebtedness which are exchanged for or otherwise replace such bridge loans shall be subject to the requirements of this clause (vi), (B) Customary Term A Loans or (C) 364-day bridge loans,

(vii) subject to the Permitted Earlier Maturity Indebtedness Exception, the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Incremental Term Facility shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Initial Term Loans or, the First Incremental Term Loans or the Second Incremental Term Loans; provided, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to (A) customary bridge loans with a maturity date of not longer than one year; provided, that any loans, notes, securities or other Indebtedness which are exchanged for or otherwise replace such bridge loans shall be subject to the requirements of this clause (vii), (B) Customary Term A Loans or (C) 364-day bridge loans,

(viii) subject to clauses (vi) and (vii) above, any Incremental Term Facility may otherwise have an amortization schedule as determined by the Borrower and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility,

(ix) subject to clause (v) above, to the extent applicable, any fees payable in connection with any Incremental Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and the arrangers and/or lenders providing such Incremental Facility,

(x) (A) each Incremental Facility shall rank pari passu with the Initial Term Loans ~~and~~, the First Incremental Term Loans and the Second Incremental Term Loans (in the case of any Incremental Term Facility) and pari passu with the Initial Revolving Loans (in the case of Incremental Revolving Loans), in each case in right of payment and, if secured, security and (B) no Incremental Facility may be (x) guaranteed by any Person which is not a Loan Party or (y) secured by Liens on any assets other than the Collateral,

(xi) any Incremental Term Facility may provide for the ability to participate (A) on a pro rata basis or non-pro rata basis in any voluntary prepayment of Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.11(a) and (B) on a pro rata or less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata

133

basis, other than in the case of prepayment with proceeds of Indebtedness refinancing such Incremental Term Loans) in any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required pursuant to Section 2.11(b),

(xii) no Specified Event of Default shall exist immediately prior to or after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Incremental Facility (except in connection with any acquisition or other Investment or irrevocable repayment or redemption of Indebtedness, where no such Specified Event of Default shall exist at the time as elected by the Borrower pursuant to Section 1.04(e)),

(xiii) except as otherwise required or permitted in clauses (iv) through (xi) above, all other terms of any Incremental Term Facility shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility,

(xiv) the proceeds of any Incremental Facility may be used for working capital, Capital Expenditures and other general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its subsidiaries (including permitted Restricted Payments, Investments, Permitted Acquisitions, Restricted Debt Payments and any other purpose not prohibited by the terms of the Loan Documents), and

(xv) on the date of the making of any Incremental Term Loans that will be added to any Class of then existing Term Loans, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Sections 2.08 or 2.13, such Incremental Term Loans shall be added to (and constitute a part of, be of the same Type as and, at the election of the Borrower, have the same Interest Period as) each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of such Class on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of such Borrowings), so that each Term Lender providing such Incremental Term Loans will participate proportionately in each then-outstanding Borrowing of Term Loans of such Class; it being acknowledged that the application of this clause may result in new Incremental Term Loans having Interest Periods (the duration of which may be less than one month) that begin during an Interest Period then applicable to outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans of the relevant Class and which end on the last day of such Interest Period.

(b) Incremental Commitments may be provided by any existing Lender or by any other Eligible Assignee (any such other Eligible Assignee being called an “Additional Lender”); provided that the Applicable Administrative Agent (and, in the case of any Incremental Revolving Facility, the Swingline Lender and any Issuing Bank) shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to the relevant Additional Lender’s provision of Incremental Commitments if such consent would be required under Section 10.05(b) for an assignment of Loans to such Additional Lender; provided further, that any Additional Lender that is an Affiliated Lender shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.05(g), mutatis mutandis, to the same extent as if the relevant Incremental Commitments and related Loan Document Obligations had been obtained by such Lender by way of assignment.

(c) Each Lender or Additional Lender providing a portion of any Incremental Commitment shall execute and deliver to the Applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrower all such documentation (including the relevant Incremental Facility Amendment) as may be reasonably required by the Applicable Administrative Agent to evidence and effectuate such Incremental Commitment. On the effective date of such Incremental Commitment, each Additional Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes in connection with this Agreement.

(d) As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility or the making of any Incremental Loans, (i) upon its request, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall have received

134

customary written opinions of counsel, as well as such reaffirmation agreements, supplements and/or amendments as it shall reasonably require, (ii) the Applicable Administrative Agent shall have received, from each Additional Lender, an administrative questionnaire in the form provided to such Additional Lender by the Applicable Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Questionnaire”) and such other documents as it shall reasonably require from such Additional Lender, (iii) the Applicable Administrative Agent and applicable Additional Lenders shall have received all fees required to be paid in respect of such Incremental Facility or Incremental Loans and (iv) upon its request, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of Borrower signed by a Responsible Officer thereof:

(A) certifying and attaching a copy of the resolutions adopted by the governing body of the Borrower approving or consenting to such Incremental Facility or Incremental Loans, and

(B) to the extent applicable, certifying that the condition set forth in clause (a)(xii) above has been satisfied.

(e) Upon the implementation of any Incremental Revolving Facility pursuant to this Section 2.22:

(i) if such Incremental Revolving Facility establishes Revolving Credit Commitments of the same Class as any then-existing Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, (i) each Revolving Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each relevant Incremental Revolving Facility Lender, and each relevant Incremental Revolving Facility Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed a portion of such Revolving Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans such that, after giving effect to each deemed assignment and assumption of participations, all of the Revolving Lenders’ (including each Incremental Revolving Facility Lender’s) (A) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (B) participations hereunder in Swingline Loans shall be held on a pro rata basis on the basis of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments (after giving effect to any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.22) and (ii) the existing Revolving Lenders of the applicable Class shall assign Revolving Loans to certain other Revolving Lenders of such Class (including the Revolving Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Revolving Facility), and such other Revolving Lenders (including the Revolving Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Revolving Facility) shall purchase such Revolving Loans, in each case to the extent necessary so that all of the Revolving Lenders of such Class participate in each outstanding borrowing of Revolving Loans pro rata on the basis of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class (after giving effect to any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.22); it being understood and agreed that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to this clause (i); and

(ii) if such Incremental Revolving Facility establishes Revolving Credit Commitments of a new Class, (1) the borrowing and repayment (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on any Revolving Facility, (B) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of any Revolving Facility and (C) repayments made in connection with any permanent repayment and termination of any Revolving Credit Commitments (subject to clause (3) below)) of Incremental Revolving Loans after the effective date of such Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with any then-existing Revolving Facility, (2) all swingline loans and/or letters of credit made or issued, as applicable, under such Incremental Revolving Facility shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all

135

Revolving Lenders and (3) any permanent repayment of Revolving Loans with respect to, and reduction or termination of Revolving Credit Commitments under, any Revolving Facility after the effective date of any Incremental Revolving Facility shall be made on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis with all other Revolving Facilities, except that the Borrower shall be permitted to permanently repay Revolving Loans and terminate Revolving Credit Commitments of any Revolving Facility on a greater than pro rata basis (I) as compared to any other Revolving Facilities with a later Maturity Date than such Revolving Facility or (II) to the extent refinanced or replaced with a Replacement Revolving Facility or Replacement Debt.

(f) On the date of effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving Facility, the maximum amount of LC Exposure and/or Swingline Loans, as applicable, permitted hereunder shall increase by an amount, if any, agreed upon by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the relevant Issuing Bank and/or the Swingline Lender, as applicable.

(g) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize each Administrative Agent to enter into any Incremental Facility Amendment and/or any amendment to any other Loan Document with the Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new or any increase in any Classes or sub-Classes in respect of Loans or commitments pursuant to this Section 2.22 (including, for instance, to increase the amortization of any existing Class of Term Loans (or to provide for any existing Class of Term Loans to have (or to again have) amortization) in order to have such existing Class of Term Loans be “fungible” with any Incremental Term Facility that is to be added to such Loans) and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of any Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment or increase, as applicable, of such Classes or sub-Classes, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.22 (including with respect to the appointment of a Subsidiary Guarantor as a Borrower in respect of such Incremental Facility).

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.22 (including Section 2.22(d)) or in any other provision of any Loan Document, if the proceeds of any Incremental Facility are intended to be applied to finance an acquisition or other Investment and the lenders providing such Incremental Facility so agree, the availability thereof shall be subject to customary “SunGard” or “certain funds” conditionality (including the making and accuracy of customary specified representations in connection with such acquisition or other Investment).

(i) This Section 2.22 shall supersede any provision in Section 2.18 or 10.02 to the contrary.

Section 2.23. Extensions of Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders holding Loans of any Class or Commitments of any Class, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Loans or Commitments of such Class) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower is hereby permitted from time to time to consummate transactions with any individual Lender who accepts the terms contained in the relevant Extension Offer to extend the Maturity Date of all or a portion of such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments of such Class and otherwise modify the terms of all or a portion of such Loans and/or Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Loans and/or Commitments (and related outstandings) and/or modifying the amortization schedule, if any, in respect of such Loans) (each, an “Extension”); it being understood that (x) any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate Class of Loans from the Class of Loans from which they were converted and any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall constitute a separate Class of Revolving Credit Commitments from the Class of Revolving Credit Commitments from which they were

136

converted and (y) no Lender shall have any obligation to accept any applicable Extension Offer, so long as the following terms are satisfied:

(i) except as to (x) interest rates, fees and final maturity (which shall, subject to clause (iii)(y) below, be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), (y) terms applicable to such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended Revolving Loans that are more favorable to the lenders or the agent of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended Revolving Loans than those contained in the Loan Documents and are then conformed (or added) to the Loan Documents on or prior to the effectiveness of such Extension for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders or, as applicable, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent pursuant to the applicable Extension Amendment and (z) any terms or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Latest Revolving Loan Maturity Date (in each case, as of the date of such Extension), the commitment of any Revolving Lender that agrees to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Credit Commitment”; and the Loans thereunder, “Extended Revolving Loans”), and the related outstandings, shall be a revolving commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with substantially consistent terms (or terms not less favorable to existing Revolving Lenders) as the Class of Revolving Credit Commitments subject to the relevant Extension Offer (and related outstandings) provided hereunder; provided that to the extent more than one Revolving Facility exists after giving effect to any such Extension, (1) the borrowing and repayment (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on any Revolving Facility (and related outstandings), (B) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of any Revolving Facility and (C) repayments made in connection with any permanent repayment and termination of any Revolving Credit Commitments (subject to clause (3) below)) of Extended Revolving Loans after the effective date of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Facilities, (2) all swingline loans and/or letters of credit made or issued, as applicable, under any Extended Revolving Credit Commitment shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Revolving Lenders of the applicable Class and (3) any permanent repayment of Revolving Loans with respect to, and reduction or termination of Revolving Credit Commitments under, any Revolving Facility after the effective date of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis with all other Revolving Facilities, except that the Borrower shall be permitted to permanently repay Revolving Loans and terminate Revolving Credit Commitments of any Revolving Facility on a greater than pro rata basis (I) as compared to any other Revolving Facilities with a later Maturity Date than such Revolving Facility or (II) to the extent refinanced or replaced with a Replacement Revolving Facility or Replacement Debt;

(ii) except as to (x) interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premiums, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iii)(x), (iv) and (v), be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), (y) terms applicable to such Extended Term Loans that are more favorable to the lenders or the agent of such Extended Term Loans than those contained in the Loan Documents and are then conformed (or added) to the Loan Documents on or prior to the effectiveness of such Extension for the benefit of the Term Lenders or, as applicable, the Term Facility Administrative Agent and/or the ~~First~~ Incremental Term ~~Facility~~Facilities Administrative Agent pursuant to the applicable Extension Amendment and (z) any terms or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Latest Term Loan Maturity Date (in each case, as of the date of such Extension), the Term Loans of any Lender extended pursuant to any Extension (any such extended Term Loans, the “Extended Term Loans”) shall have substantially consistent terms (or terms not less favorable to existing Lenders) as the tranche of Term Loans subject to the relevant Extension Offer;

137

(iii) (x) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the then applicable Latest Term Loan Maturity Date at the time of extension and (y) no Extended Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended Revolving Loans shall have a final maturity date earlier than (or require commitment reductions prior to) the then applicable Latest Revolving Loan Maturity Date;

(iv) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any then-existing Term Loans;

(v) subject to clauses (iii) and (iv) above, any Extended Term Loans may otherwise have an amortization schedule as determined by the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans;

(vi) any Extended Term Loans may provide for the ability to participate (A) on a pro rata basis or non-pro rata basis in any voluntary prepayment of Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.11(a) and (B) on a pro rata or less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis other than in the case of prepayment with proceeds of Indebtedness refinancing such Extended Term Loans) in any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required pursuant to Section 2.11(b);

(vii) if the aggregate principal amount of Loans or commitments, as the case may be, in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer exceeds the maximum aggregate principal amount of Loans or commitments, as the case may be, offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Loans or commitments, as the case may be, of such Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) held by Lenders that have accepted such Extension Offer;

(viii) unless the Applicable Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, each Extension shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000;

(ix) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied or waived by the Borrower; and

(x) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing.

(b) With respect to any Extension consummated pursuant to this Section 2.23, (i) no such Extension shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory prepayment for purposes of Section 2.11, (ii) the scheduled amortization payments (in so far as such schedule affects payments due to Lenders participating in the relevant Class) set forth in Section 2.10 shall be adjusted to give effect to such Extension of the relevant Class and (iii) except as set forth in clause (a)(viii) above, no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment; provided that the Borrower may, at its election, specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and which may be waived by the Borrower in its sole discretion) of Loans or commitments (as applicable) of any or all applicable Classes be tendered. The Administrative Agents and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.23 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any tranche of Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement

138

(including Sections 2.10, 2.11 or 2.18) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section.

(c) No consent of any Lender or any Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than (A) the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Loans and/or commitments under any Class (or a portion thereof), (B) with respect to any Extension of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the consent of each Issuing Bank to the extent the commitment to provide Letters of Credit is to be extended and (C) with respect to any Extension of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the consent of the Swingline Lender to the extent the swingline facility is to be extended (in each case which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). All Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall constitute Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral and guaranteed on a pari passu basis with all other Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize each Administrative Agent to enter into any Extension Amendment and such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new Classes or sub-Classes in respect of Loans or commitments so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of any Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Classes or sub-Classes, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.23.

(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Applicable Administrative Agent at least five Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Applicable Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Applicable Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.23.

Section 2.24. Benchmark Replacement.

(a) (i) 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 for a currency prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of a 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 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 such 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 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 Applicable Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

(b) In connection with the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, the Applicable Administrative Agent will have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, 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

139

Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. In the case of the First Incremental Term Loans and the Second Incremental Term Loans, if the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.

(c) The Applicable Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any Benchmark Replacement Date and the related Benchmark Replacement, (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iii) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (d) below and (iv) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. For the avoidance of doubt, any notice required to be delivered by the Applicable Administrative Agent as set forth in this Section 2.24 may be provided, at the option of the Applicable Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion), in one or more notices and may be delivered together with, or as part of any amendment which implements any Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Applicable Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.24, 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 2.24.

(d) 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 Term SOFR) 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 Applicable Administrative 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 Applicable Administrative 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 Applicable Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e) Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing, Alternative Currency Daily Rate Borrowing or BA Rate Borrowing, as applicable, of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans, as applicable, to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans.

(f) The Applicable Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the Alternate Base Rate, Term SOFR, the EURIBO Screen Rate, SONIA, the BA Rate, the Alternative Currency Daily Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark

140

Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, the Alternate Base Rate, Term SOFR, the EURIBO Screen Rate, SONIA, the BA Rate, the Alternative Currency Daily Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. The Applicable Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions consistent with such Person’s general practice that affect the calculation of the Alternate Base Rate, Term SOFR, the EURIBO Screen Rate, SONIA, the BA Rate, the Alternative Currency Daily Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto. The Applicable Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Alternate Base Rate, Term SOFR, the EURIBO Screen Rate, SONIA, the BA Rate, the Alternative Currency Daily Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate or any other Benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity) resulting from any error in the calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) as provided by any such information source or service.

(g) As used in this Section 2.24, the following terms shall have the meanings specified below:

“Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, any tenor for such Benchmark or payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark, as applicable, that is or may be used for determining the length of an Interest Period pursuant to this Agreement 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 clause (d) of this Section 2.24.

“Benchmark” means, initially, with respect to (i) Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, the Term SOFR, (ii) Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Euros, the EURIBO Screen Rate, (iii) Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans denominated in Sterling, SONIA or (iv) BA Rate Loans, the BA Rate; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” shall mean the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 2.24.

“Benchmark Replacement” means, for any Available Tenor, the first alternative set forth below and (where applicable) in the order set forth below for the currency that can be determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date; provided that, for any Loans denominated in a currency other than Dollars, “Benchmark Replacement” shall mean the alternative set forth in (2) below:

(1)

the sum of: (a) Daily Simple SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

(2)

the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrower as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the

141

then-current Benchmark for syndicated credit facilities denominated in the applicable currency at such time and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clauses (1) or (2), above would be less than the Floor for the applicable Benchmark, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor applicable to such Benchmark 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 for any applicable Interest Period and Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement:

(1)

for purposes of clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent: (a) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for the applicable Corresponding Tenor or (b) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that would apply to the fallback rate for a derivative transaction referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon an index cessation event with respect to such Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor; and

(2)

for purposes of clause (2) of the definition of “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 Applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrower for the applicable Corresponding Tenor and currency giving due consideration to (i) 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 on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date or (ii) 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 syndicated credit facilities in the U.S. syndicated loan market denominated in the applicable currency; provided that, in the case of clause (1) above, such adjustment is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such Benchmark Replacement Adjustment from time to time as selected by the Applicable Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “ABR,” the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, the formula for calculating any successor rates identified pursuant to the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”, the formula, methodology or convention for applying the successor Floor to the successor Benchmark Replacement and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Applicable Administrative Agent decides in its reasonable discretion (and in consultation with the Borrower) may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Applicable Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Applicable Administrative Agent decides in its reasonable discretion (and in consultation with the Borrower) that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not

142

administratively feasible or if the Applicable Administrative Agent determines in its reasonable discretion (and in consultation with the Borrower) that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Applicable Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary (and in consultation with the Borrower) in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

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

(1)

in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) 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

(2)

in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein.

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

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

(1)

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

(2)

a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Board or 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

(3)

143

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

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means, with respect to any then-current Benchmark, the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) of that definition 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 this Section 2.24 and (y) 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 this Section 2.24.

“Corresponding Tenor” with respect to any Available Tenor, means, as applicable, either a tenor (including overnight) or an interest payment period having approximately the same length (disregarding business day adjustment) as such Available Tenor.

“Daily Simple SOFR” means, for any day (a “SOFR Rate Day”), a rate per annum equal to the greater of (a) SOFR for the day (such day “i”) that is five U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to (i) if such SOFR Rate Day is a U.S. Government Securities Business Day, such SOFR Rate Day or (ii) if such SOFR Rate Day is not a U.S. Government Securities Business Day, the U.S. Government Securities Business Day immediately preceding such SOFR Rate Day, in each case, as such SOFR is published by the SOFR Administrator on the SOFR Administrator’s Website, and (b) the Floor. If by 5:00 pm (New York City time) on the second (2^nd) U.S. Government Securities Business Day immediately following any day “i”, the SOFR in respect of such day “i” has not been published on the SOFR Administrator’s Website, then the SOFR for such day “i” will be the SOFR as published in respect of the first preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which such SOFR was published on the SOFR Administrator’s Website; provided that any SOFR determined pursuant to this sentence shall be utilized for purposes of calculation of Daily Simple SOFR for no more than three (3) consecutive SOFR Rate Days. Any change in Daily Simple SOFR due to a change in SOFR shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in SOFR without notice to the Borrower.

“Floor” shall mean the benchmark rate floor, if any, provided in this Agreement initially (or, in the case of other Loans incurred subsequent to the date of this Agreement, any other benchmark rate floor agreed to therefor) (as of the execution of this Agreement, the modification, amendment or renewal of this Agreement or otherwise) with respect to any applicable Benchmark.

“ISDA Definitions” shall mean the 2006 ISDA Definitions published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. or any successor thereto, as amended or supplemented from time to time, or any successor definitional booklet for interest rate derivatives published from time to time by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. or such successor thereto.

Section 2.25. Sustainability Adjustments.

(a) ESG Amendment. After the Investment Grade Trigger Date, the Borrower, in consultation with an institution reasonably selected by the Borrower and the Revolving Administrative Agent to serve as the sustainability coordinator hereunder (the “Sustainability Coordinator”) and the Revolving Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to establish specified key performance indicators (“KPIs”) with respect to certain environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) targets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. The Sustainability Coordinator, the Revolving Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement (such amendment, the “ESG Amendment”) solely for the purpose of incorporating the KPIs and other related provisions (the “ESG Pricing Provisions”) into this Agreement, and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the tenth Business Day after the Revolving Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Revolving Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Borrower) written notice that such Required Lenders object to such ESG Amendment. In the event that Required Lenders deliver a written notice objecting to any such ESG Amendment, an alternative ESG Amendment may be effectuated with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Borrower and the Sustainability Coordinator. Upon the effectiveness of any such ESG Amendment, based on the Borrower’s and/or its Subsidiaries’ performance against the KPIs, certain adjustments (increase, decrease or no adjustment) to the otherwise applicable facility fee, Applicable Rate for ABR Loans, Canadian Prime Rate Loans, BA Rate Loans, Swingline Loans, Eurocurrency Rate Loans, Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans and Letter of Credit Fees will be made; provided that the amount of such adjustments shall not exceed (i) in the case of the Facility Fee, an increase and/or decrease of 0.01% and (ii) in the case of the Applicable Rate for Eurocurrency Rate Loans, BA Rate Loans, Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans and Letter of Credit Fees, an increase and/or decrease of 0.04%, and the adjustments to the Applicable Rate for ABR Loans, Canadian Prime Rate Loans and Swingline Loans shall be the same amount, in basis points, as the adjustments to the Applicable Rate for Eurocurrency Loans, BA Rate Loans, Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans and Letter of Credit Fees, provided that in no event shall the Applicable Rate for ABR Loans, Canadian Prime Rate Loans and Swingline Loans be less than zero. The pricing adjustments pursuant to the KPIs will require, among other things, reporting and validation of the measurement of the KPIs in a manner that is

145

aligned with the Sustainability Linked Loan Principles and is to be agreed between the Borrower and the Sustainability Coordinator (each acting reasonably). Following the effectiveness of the ESG Amendment:

(i) any modification to the ESG Pricing Provisions which has the effect of (x) reducing the facility fee, Applicable Rate for ABR Loans, Canadian Prime Rate Loans and Swingline Loans, or Applicable Rate for Eurocurrency Rate Loans, BA Rate Loans, Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans and Letter of Credit Fees to a level not otherwise permitted by this ‎Section 2.25(a) or (y) increasing the facility fee, Applicable Rate for ABR Loans, Canadian Prime Rate Loans and Swingline Loans, or Applicable Rate for Eurocurrency Rate Loans, BA Rate Loans, Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans and Letter of Credit Fees that is not accompanied by a corresponding reduction of the facility fee, Applicable Rate for ABR Loans, Canadian Prime Rate Loans and Swingline Loans, or Applicable Rate for Eurocurrency Rate Loans, BA Rate Loans, Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans and Letter of Credit Fees by a percentage equivalent to such increase, shall (in each case) be subject to the consent of all Lenders; and

(ii) any other modification to the ESG Pricing Provisions (other than as provided for in ‎Section 2.25(a)(i) above) shall be subject only to the consent of the Required Lenders.

(b) Sustainability Coordinator. The Sustainability Coordinator will (i) assist the Borrower in determining the ESG Pricing Provisions in connection with the ESG Amendment and (ii) assist the Borrower in preparing informational materials focused on ESG to be used in connection with the ESG Amendment.

records and executive officers of the applicable Person are located, to inspect, copy and take extracts from its and their respective financial and accounting records, and to discuss its and their respective affairs, finances and accounts with its and their Responsible Officers and independent public accountants (subject to such accountants’ customary policies and procedures) (provided that the Borrower (or any of its subsidiaries) may, if it so chooses, be present at or participate in any such discussion), all upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times during normal business hours; provided that (x) only the Administrative Agents on behalf of the Lenders may exercise the rights of the Administrative Agents and the Lenders under this Section 5.06, (y) the Administrative Agents, collectively, shall not exercise such rights more often than one time during any calendar year and (z) only one such time per calendar year shall be at the expense of the Borrower; provided, further, that when an Event of Default exists, any Administrative Agent (or any of its representatives or independent contractors) may do any of the foregoing at the expense of the Borrower at any time during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice; provided, further that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary shall be required to disclose, permit the inspection, examination or making of copies of or taking abstracts from, or discuss any document, information or other matter (i) that constitutes non-financial trade secrets or non-financial proprietary information of the Borrower and its subsidiaries and/or any of its customers and/or suppliers, (ii) in respect of which disclosure to any Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective representatives or contractors) is prohibited by applicable law, (iii) that is subject to attorney-client or similar privilege or constitutes attorney work product or (iv) in respect of which the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary owes confidentiality obligations to any third party (provided such confidentiality obligations were not entered into solely in contemplation of the requirements of this Section 5.06); provided, further, that in the event any of the circumstances described in the preceding proviso exist, the Borrower shall provide notice to the Administrative Agents thereof and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to describe, to the extent both feasible and permitted under applicable Requirements of Law or confidentiality obligations, or without waiving such privilege, as applicable, the applicable document, information or other matter.

Section 5.07. Maintenance of Book and Records.

Section 5.08. Compliance with Laws. The Borrower will comply, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply, with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority (including ERISA and all Environmental Laws), except to the extent the failure of the Borrower or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary to comply would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided that the requirements set forth in this Section 5.08, as they pertain to compliance by any Foreign Subsidiary with Sanctions and anti-corruption laws are subject to and limited by any Requirement of Law applicable to such Foreign Subsidiary in its relevant local jurisdiction.

Section 5.09. Hazardous Materials Activity.

(a) At all times prior to the Investment Grade Trigger Date, the Borrower will deliver to the Administrative Agents:

(i) reasonably promptly following Borrower becoming aware of the occurrence thereof, written notice describing in reasonable detail (A) any Release required to be reported by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory agency under any applicable Environmental Law, (B) any remedial action taken by or

159

on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in response to any Hazardous Materials Activity or Environmental Claim, or (C) any pending or threatened Environmental Claim, that in the case of each of clauses (A), (B) and (C) above, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and

(ii) reasonably promptly following the sending or receipt thereof by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, a copy of any and all written communications with respect to any Release required to be reported by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory agency or any Release required to be remediated pursuant to any Environmental Law, that in each case would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) At all times prior to the Investment Grade Trigger Date, the Borrower shall reasonably promptly take, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries reasonably promptly to take, any and all actions reasonably necessary to (i) cure any violation of Environmental Law by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, and, to the extent required by Environmental Law, address with appropriate corrective or remedial action any Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Material at or from any Facility, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) make an appropriate response to any Environmental Claim against the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and discharge any obligations it may have to any Person thereunder, where failure to do so could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect; provided that it shall not be deemed to be a violation of this Section 5.09 if the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries are in good faith contesting such violation, liability for such Release or threatened Release or such Environmental Claim in accordance with applicable Environmental Law.

Section 5.10. Designation of Subsidiaries. The Borrower may, at any time after the Closing Date but prior to the Investment Grade Trigger Date, designate (or re-designate) any subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that as of the date of designation (or re-designation) of any subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (a) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (b) the Borrower shall be compliant, on a Pro Forma Basis, with the Financial Covenant, (c) no Unrestricted Subsidiary shall own any Capital Stock in any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower (unless such Restricted Subsidiary is also designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary simultaneously with the aforementioned designation in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.10) or hold any Indebtedness of or any Lien on any property of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries (unless the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary is permitted (or not prohibited) hereunder to incur such Indebtedness or grant such Lien in favor of such Unrestricted Subsidiary (as a third party)) and (d) no Subsidiary shall be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if such Subsidiary owns Material Intellectual Property at the time of such designation. The designation of any subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall constitute an Investment by the Borrower therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to the portion of the fair market value of the net assets of such subsidiary attributable to the Borrower’s equity interest therein as estimated by the Borrower in good faith (and such designation shall only be permitted to the extent such Investment is permitted under Section 6.06); provided that if any subsidiary (a “Subject Subsidiary”) being designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary has a subsidiary that was previously designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (the “Previously Designated Unrestricted Subsidiary”) in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Investment of such Subject Subsidiary in such Previously Designated Unrestricted Subsidiary shall not be taken into account, and shall be excluded, in determining whether the Subject Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary hereunder. The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute the making, incurrence or granting, as applicable, at the time of designation of any then-existing Investment, Indebtedness or Lien of such subsidiary, as applicable; provided that upon a re-designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary, the

160

Borrower shall be deemed to continue to have an Investment in the resulting Restricted Subsidiary in an amount (if positive) equal to (a) the Borrower’s “Investment” in such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such re-designation less (b) the portion of the fair market value of the net assets of such Restricted Subsidiary attributable to the Borrower’s equity therein at the time of such re-designation. As of the Closing Date, the subsidiaries listed on Schedule 5.10 hereto have been designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

Section 5.11. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Revolving Loans on and after the Closing Date, to finance the working capital needs and other general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its subsidiaries (including for capital expenditures, acquisitions, working capital and/or purchase price adjustments, the payment of transaction fees and expenses, other Investments, Restricted Payments, Restricted Debt Payments and any other purpose not prohibited by the terms of the Loan Documents). The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Swingline Loans made after the Closing Date to finance the working capital needs and other general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its subsidiaries and any other purpose not prohibited by the terms of the Loan Documents. The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Initial Term Loans (i) to finance the Repayment, (ii) to finance all or a portion of the Transactions (including the payment of Transaction Costs) and (iii) for general corporate purposes. The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the First Incremental Term Loans (i) to finance (in part) the Acquisition, (ii) to finance all or a portion of the First Incremental Transactions and (iii) for general corporate purposes or other actions or purposes permitted (or not prohibited) hereunder.

(c) Upon the formation or acquisition by any Loan Party of any new directly-held Restricted Subsidiary after the Closing Date (other than any Restricted Subsidiary that is an Immaterial Subsidiary or to the extent the Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary constitutes Excluded Securities), subject to the Agreed Security Principles, (x) if the event giving rise to the obligation under this Section 5.12(c) occurs during the first three Fiscal Quarters of any Fiscal Year, on or before the later of (I) 60 days following the relevant formation or acquisition and (II) the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) for the Fiscal Quarter in which such formation or acquisition occurred or (y) if the event giving rise to the obligation under this Section 5.12(c) occurs during the fourth Fiscal Quarter of any Fiscal Year, on or before the date that is 90 days after the end of such Fiscal Quarter (or, in the cases of clauses (x) and (y), such longer period as the Collateral Agent may reasonably agree), the Borrower shall (A) cause such Loan Party to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such Collateral Documents as the Collateral Agent deems reasonably necessary or advisable to grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a perfected First Priority security interest in the Capital Stock of such new Restricted Subsidiary that is owned by any such Loan Party (provided that in no event shall more than 65% of the issued and outstanding voting Capital Stock of any Specified Foreign Subsidiary or Disregarded U.S. Subsidiary be required to be so pledged) and (B) deliver to the Collateral Agent the certificates representing such Capital Stock, together with undated stock powers, in blank, executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of the relevant Loan Party, as the case may be, and take such other action as may be reasonably necessary or, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, desirable to perfect the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, (i) the Collateral Agent and/or the Administrative Agents may grant extensions of time (including after the expiration of any relevant period, which apply retroactively), including if any applicable Loan Party is unable, after exercising commercially reasonable efforts, to perform its obligations due to circumstances existing in connection with the COVID-19 disease outbreak, in each case for the creation and perfection of security interests in, or obtaining of title insurance, legal opinions, surveys or other deliverables with respect to, particular assets or the provision of any Loan Guarantee by any Restricted Subsidiary, and each Lender hereby consents to any such extension of time, (ii) any Lien required to be granted from time to time pursuant to the definition of “Collateral and Guarantee Requirement” shall be subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth in the Collateral Documents and the Agreed Security Principles, (iii) perfection by control shall not be required with respect to assets requiring perfection through control agreements or other control arrangements, including deposit accounts, securities accounts and commodities accounts (other than control of pledged Capital Stock and/or Material Debt Instruments, in each case, that constitute Collateral) and no blocked account agreement, account control agreement or similar agreement shall be required, in each case unless otherwise required pursuant to the applicable Collateral Documents (subject to the Agreed Security Principles to the extent applicable), (iv) no Loan Party shall be required to seek any landlord waiver, bailee letter, estoppel, warehouseman waiver or other collateral access or similar letter or agreement, (v) no Loan Party will be required to (1) take any action or grant or perfect any security interest in any asset located outside of its jurisdiction of organization (other than with respect to (x) Capital Stock in the United States, Canada, Ireland or the Netherlands (provided that, so long as

162

Additionally, (i) no action shall be required to create or perfect a Lien in any asset in respect of which the creation or perfection of a security interest therein would (1) be prohibited by enforceable anti-assignment provisions set forth in any contract directly relating to such asset (at the time of acquisition thereof and not incurred in contemplation thereof (except if contemplated in connection with any licensing arrangement permitted hereunder)) that is permitted or otherwise not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, (2) violate the terms of any contract directly relating to such asset (at the time of acquisition thereof and not incurred in contemplation thereof (except if contemplated in connection with any licensing arrangement permitted hereunder)) that is permitted or otherwise not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, in each case, after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the UCC or other applicable law or (3) trigger termination of any contract directly relating to such asset (at the time of acquisition thereof and not incurred in contemplation thereof (except if contemplated in connection with any licensing arrangement permitted hereunder)) that is permitted or otherwise not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement pursuant to any “change of control” or similar provision (in each case after giving effect to any applicable anti-assignment provisions of the UCC, the PPSA or other applicable law), it being understood that the Collateral shall include any proceeds and/or receivables arising out of any contract described in this clause (other than Excluded Assets) to the extent the assignment of such proceeds or receivables is expressly deemed effective under the UCC, the PPSA or other applicable Requirements of Law notwithstanding the relevant prohibition, violation or termination right, (ii) no Loan Party shall be required to create or perfect a security interest in any asset to the extent the creation or perfection of a security interest in such asset would (A) be prohibited under any applicable Requirement of Law, after giving effect to any applicable anti-assignment provision of the UCC or other applicable law and other than proceeds thereof to the extent that the assignment of such proceeds is effective under the UCC, the PPSA or other applicable Requirements of Law notwithstanding such Requirement of Law, (B) require any governmental consent, approval, license or authorization (unless such consent, approval, license or authorization has been obtained), after giving effect to any applicable anti-assignment provision of the UCC, the PPSA or other applicable law and other than proceeds thereof to the extent that the

163

assignment of such proceeds is effective under the UCC, the PPSA or other applicable Requirements of Law notwithstanding such consent or restriction and/or (C) result in material adverse tax consequences or adverse regulatory consequences to any Loan Party or any of its subsidiaries as determined by the Borrower in good faith in writing (which may be by email) following consultation with the Administrative Agents, provided that this clause (C) shall not apply to any asset or property that is owned by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries on the Closing Date and that is not an Excluded Asset on the Closing Date (determined without regard to this clause (C) and clause (12) of the Excluded Assets), (iii) any joinder or supplement to any Loan Guarantee, any Collateral Document and/or any other Loan Document executed by any Restricted Subsidiary that is required to become a Loan Party pursuant to Section 5.12(a) above may, with the consent of the Collateral Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), include such schedules (or updates to schedules) as may be necessary to qualify any representation or warranty set forth in any Loan Document to the extent necessary to ensure that such representation or warranty is true and correct to the extent required thereby or by the terms of any other Loan Document and (iv) (A) no Loan Party will be required to take any action required under the Federal Assignment of Claims Act or any similar law and (B) no Secured Party will be permitted to exercise any right of setoff in respect of any account maintained solely for the purpose of receiving and holding government receivables.

Section 5.17. Post-Closing Actions. The Borrower shall take the actions set forth on Schedule 5.17 within the applicable time periods specified thereon (or by such later time as the Administrative Agents may reasonably agree).

Section 5.19. Canadian Employee Benefit Plan. Each Canadian Loan Party shall:

(a) with respect to each Canadian Pension Plan, pay all contributions, premiums and payments when due in accordance with its terms and applicable law; and

(b) promptly deliver to the Administrative Agents copies of: (A) annual information returns, actuarial valuations and any other reports which have been filed with a Governmental Authority with respect to each Canadian Pension Plan; and (B) any direction, order, notice, ruling, or opinion that a Canadian Loan Party may receive from a Governmental Authority with respect to any Canadian Employee Benefit Plan.

Article 7
LOAN GUARANTEE

Section 7.01. Guarantee of the Loan Document Obligations. Subject to Section 7.02 and the terms of each Counterpart Agreement, the Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties the due and punctual payment in full of all Obligations (other than Excluded Swap 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 or other Debtor Relief Laws) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

Section 7.02. Contribution by Guarantors; Indemnification; Subordination.

(a) The Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under the Loan Guarantee. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution (including the sale of any assets) is made on any date by a Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under the Loan Guarantee or any other Loan Document such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Agreement shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document. Any Contributing Guarantor making a payment under this Section 7.02(a) shall be subrogated to the rights of the Funding Guarantor under Section 7.02(b) below to the extent of such payment.

205

(b) In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Guarantors may have under applicable law, the Borrower agrees that (i) in the event a payment in respect of any Obligation of such Borrower shall be made by any Guarantor under the Loan Guarantee, such Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment and (ii) in the event any assets of any Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to any Loan Document to satisfy in whole or in part an Obligation owed to any Secured Party by such Borrower, such Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of the assets so sold.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Guarantors under Sections 7.02(a) and (b) hereof and all other rights of the Guarantors of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of the Loan Document Obligations. No failure on the part of the Borrower or any Guarantor to make the payments required by Sections 7.02(a) and (b) (or any other payments required under Requirements of Law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

Section 7.03. Payment by Subsidiary Guarantors. Subject to Section 7.02 and the terms of each Counterpart Agreement, the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Secured Party may have at law or in equity against any Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of the Borrower 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 or analogous provisions of other Debtor Relief Laws), the Subsidiary Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in Cash, to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, 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 the Borrower’s becoming the subject of a case or proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against the Borrower for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Secured Parties as aforesaid.

Section 7.04. Liability of Guarantors Absolute. To the extent permitted under applicable law, 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 satisfaction in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

(a) this Loan Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and performance when due and not of collection. This Loan Guarantee is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety;

(b) to the extent permitted under Requirements of Law, the Collateral Agent may enforce this Loan Guarantee upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between the Borrower and any Secured Party with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;

(c) the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Borrower and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor

206

whether or not any action is brought against the Borrower or any of such other guarantors and whether or not the Borrower is joined in any such action or actions;

(d) 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Collateral Agent or any Administrative 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 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;

(e) any Secured Party, 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 Secured Party 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 Secured Party may have against any such security, in each case as such Secured Party in its discretion may determine consistent herewith or the applicable Hedge Agreement or agreement relating to Banking Services Obligations and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial 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 the Borrower or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Loan Documents or any agreement relating to Derivative Transactions or Banking Services Obligations; and

(f) this Loan Guarantee and the obligations of the 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 or any agreements relating to Derivative Transactions or Banking Services, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guarantee of or security for the payment or performance 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, any agreements relating to Derivative Transactions or Banking Services or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guarantee or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Loan Document, such agreement relating

Section 7.05. Waivers by Guarantors. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of the Secured Parties: (a) any right to require any Secured Party, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of any Secured Party in favor of the Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Secured Party whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of the Borrower 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 the Borrower or any other Guarantor from any cause other than satisfaction 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 Secured Party’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to gross negligence, willful misconduct or 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 Secured Party 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, agreements relating to Derivative Transactions or Banking Services 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 the Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 7.04 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 7.06. Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, etc. Until the Termination Date, each Guarantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any claim, right or

208

remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Loan Guarantee 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 statute, under common law or otherwise and including (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Secured Party now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Secured Party. In addition, until the Termination Date, 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 any such right of contribution set forth in Section 7.02 hereof. 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 any other Guarantor 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 Secured Party may have against the Borrower, to all right, title and interest any Secured Party may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Secured Party 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 prior to the Termination Date, such amount shall be held in trust for the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid over to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 7.07. Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor now or hereafter owed to any Guarantor (the “Obligee Guarantor”) is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such Indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid over to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof.

Section 7.08. Continuing Guarantee. This Loan Guarantee is a continuing guarantee and shall remain in effect until the Termination Date. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Loan Guarantee as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 7.09. Authority of Subsidiary Guarantors or Borrower. It is not necessary for any Secured Party to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Subsidiary Guarantor or the Borrower or the officers, directors or any Agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.

Section 7.10. Financial Condition of Borrower. Any Credit Extension may be made to the Borrower or continued from time to time, and any agreements relating to Derivative Transactions or Banking Services may be entered into from time to time, in each case without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of the Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation or at the time such agreement relating to Derivatives Transactions or Banking Services is entered into, as the case may be. No Secured Party shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Subsidiary Guarantor its assessment, or any Subsidiary Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of the Borrower. Each Subsidiary Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from the Borrower on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of such Borrower and its

209

ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents and agreements relating to Derivative Transactions and Banking Services, and each Subsidiary Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of such Borrower and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Secured Party to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of the Borrower now known or hereafter known by any Secured Party.

Section 7.11. Bankruptcy, etc.

(a) Until the Termination Date, no Subsidiary Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent acting pursuant to the instructions of the Required Lenders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case, application or proceeding of or against the Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor. The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case, application or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of the Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or by any defense which the Borrower or any other Subsidiary 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, application 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, application or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case, application or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of the Guarantors and the Secured Parties 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 the Borrower of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person to pay the Collateral Agent, or allow the claim of the Collateral Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case, application or proceeding is commenced.

(c) In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by the Borrower, the obligations of the Subsidiary 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 Secured Party 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 7.12. Discharge of Loan Guarantee upon Sale of Subsidiary Guarantor. If all of the Capital Stock of any Subsidiary Guarantor or any of its successors in interest hereunder shall be sold or otherwise Disposed of (including by merger, amalgamation or consolidation) in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the Loan Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by any Secured Party or any other Person effective as of the time of such sale or other Disposition.

Section 7.13. Guarantee Limitations. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, the application of this Agreement to (including the Loan Guarantee and any obligation to contribute and indemnify pursuant to Section 7.02 of) each Subsidiary Guarantor organized outside of the United States and Canada shall be (a) subject to the terms of Schedule 7.13 and (b) limited

210

in the manner set forth in any Counterpart Agreement with respect to such Subsidiary Guarantor. Schedule 7.13 may be amended by the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agent and the Borrower, without the consent of any other Lender, Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or other Secured Party, in order to (i) incorporate additional provisions to address the accession of any Loan Party in an additional jurisdiction after the date hereof, (ii) cure omissions or defects or make changes of a technical nature or (iii) accommodate any Change in Law.

Article 9
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENTS AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT

Section 9.01. Appointment. Each of the Revolving Lenders and the Issuing Banks, on behalf of itself and its applicable Affiliates and in their respective capacities as such and as Secured Parties in respect of any Secured Hedging Obligations or Banking Services Obligations, as applicable, hereby irrevocably appoints Citi (or any successor appointed pursuant hereto) as Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and authorizes the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents and any other documents with respect to the rights of the Secured Parties and the Collateral as contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

Each of the Initial Term Lenders, on behalf of itself and its applicable Affiliates and in their respective capacities as such and as Secured Parties in respect of any Secured Hedging Obligations or Banking Services Obligations, as applicable, hereby irrevocably appoints Goldman Sachs (or any successor appointed pursuant hereto) as Term Facility Administrative Agent and authorizes the Term Facility Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents and any other documents with respect to the rights of the Secured Parties and the Collateral as contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Term Facility Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

Each of the First Incremental Term Lenders, and the Second Incremental Term Lenders, each on behalf of itself and its applicable Affiliates and in their respective capacities as such and as Secured Parties in respect of any Secured Hedging Obligations or Banking Services Obligations, as applicable, hereby irrevocably appoints JPM (or any successor appointed pursuant hereto) as ~~First~~ Incremental Term ~~Facility~~Facilities Administrative Agent and authorizes the ~~First~~ Incremental Term ~~Facility~~Facilities Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents and any other documents with respect to the rights of the Secured Parties and the Collateral as contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the ~~First~~ Incremental Term ~~Facility~~Facilities Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

Subject to Section 9.13, each of the Secured Parties hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Citi (or any successor appointed pursuant hereto) as Collateral Agent to act as the agent of (and to

218

hold any security interest created by the Loan Documents for and on behalf of or on trust for) such Secured Party for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Secured Party agrees that any such actions by the Collateral Agent shall bind such Secured Party.

Any Person serving as an Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, unless the context otherwise requires or unless such Person is in fact not a Lender, include each Person serving as an Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party or any subsidiary of any Loan Party or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent hereunder. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, each Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of their respective Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that no Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be under any obligation to provide such information to them.

None of the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) none of the Administrative Agents nor the Collateral Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default exists, and the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Requirements of Law; it being understood that such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties, (b) none of the Administrative Agents nor any Collateral Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers that are expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents and which any Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the relevant circumstances as provided in Section 10.02); provided that no Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Requirements of Law and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, none of the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as an Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. None of the Administrative Agents nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable to the Lenders or any other Secured Party for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the relevant circumstances as provided in Section 10.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein. None of the Administrative Agents nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent by the

219

Borrower or any Lender, and no Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any covenant, agreement or other term or condition set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien on the Collateral or the existence, value or sufficiency of the Collateral, (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Administrative Agent or (vii) any property, book or record of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof; provided, further, that the foregoing paragraph is solely for the benefit of each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and not any Lender.

The Collateral Agent shall act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential provider of Secured Hedging Obligations or Banking Services Obligations) and the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender, Swingline Lender and Issuing Bank Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Collateral Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Collateral Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article 9 and Article 10 (as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

Section 9.02. Enforcement. Each Lender agrees that, except with the written consent of the Administrative Agents, it will not take any enforcement action hereunder or under any other Loan Document, accelerate the Loan Document Obligations under any Loan Document, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under applicable law or otherwise to credit bid at any foreclosure sale, UCC sale, any sale under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or other similar Dispositions of Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, except as otherwise expressly limited herein, a Lender may take action to preserve or enforce its rights against a Loan Party where a deadline or limitation period is applicable that would, absent such action, bar enforcement of the Loan Document Obligations held by such Lender, including the filing of a proof of claim in a case under the Bankruptcy Code.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, each Administrative Agent and each Secured Party agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Loan Guarantee; it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Applicable Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or in the event of any other Disposition (including pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code), (A) the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale, to use and apply all or any portion of the Loan Document Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such Disposition and (B) any Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of all or any portion of such Collateral at any such Disposition.

220

No holder of any Secured Hedging Obligation or Banking Services Obligation in its respective capacity as such shall have any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under this Agreement.

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorizes (and by entering into a Hedge Agreement with respect to any Secured Hedging Obligation and/or by entering into documentation in connection with any Banking Services Obligation, each of the other Secured Parties hereby authorizes and shall be deemed to authorize) the Collateral Agent, on behalf of all Secured Parties, to take any of the following actions upon the instruction of the Required Lenders:

(a) consent to the Disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral free and clear of the Liens securing the Obligations in connection with any Disposition pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code (or other applicable Debtor Relief Law), including Section 363 thereof;

(b) credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations, or purchase all or any portion of the Collateral (in each case, either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles), in connection with any Disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code (or other applicable Debtor Relief Law), including under Section 363 thereof;

(c) credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations, or purchase all or any portion of the Collateral (in each case, either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles), in connection with any Disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to the applicable provisions of the UCC (or other applicable Debtor Relief Law), including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the UCC;

(d) credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations, or purchase all or any portion of the Collateral (in each case, either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles), in connection with any foreclosure or other Disposition conducted in accordance with applicable law following the occurrence of an Event of Default, including by power of sale, judicial action or otherwise; and/or

(e) estimate the amount of any contingent or unliquidated Obligations of such Lender or other Secured Party;

it being understood that no Lender shall be required to fund any new amount in connection with any purchase of all or any portion of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing clause (b), (c) or (d) without its prior written consent.

Each Secured Party agrees that the Collateral Agent is under no obligation to credit bid any part of the Obligations or to purchase or retain or acquire any portion of the Collateral; provided that, in connection with any credit bid or purchase described under clause (b), (c) or (d) of the preceding paragraph, the Obligations owed to all of the Secured Parties (other than with respect to contingent or unliquidated liabilities as set forth in the next succeeding paragraph) may be, and shall be, credit bid by the Collateral Agent on a ratable basis. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Article 9 shall limit any rights of any of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code (or the corresponding provisions of any other applicable Debtor Relief Law).

With respect to any contingent or unliquidated claim that is an Obligation, the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized by the Secured Parties, but is not required, to estimate the amount thereof for purposes of any credit bid or purchase described in the second preceding paragraph so long as the estimation of the amount or liquidation of such claim would not unduly delay the ability of the Collateral Agent to credit bid the Obligations or purchase the Collateral in the relevant Disposition. In the event that the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects not to estimate any such contingent or unliquidated claim

221

or any such claim cannot be estimated without unduly delaying the ability of the Collateral Agent to consummate any credit bid or purchase in accordance with the second preceding paragraph, then any contingent or unliquidated claims not so estimated shall be disregarded, shall not be credit bid, and shall not be entitled to any interest in the portion or the entirety of the Collateral purchased by means of such credit bid.

Each Secured Party whose Obligations are credit bid under clause (b), (c) or (d) of the third preceding paragraph shall be entitled to receive interests in the Collateral or any other asset acquired in connection with such credit bid (or in the Capital Stock of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such acquisition) on a ratable basis in accordance with the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the amount of the Obligations of such Secured Party that were credit bid in such credit bid or other Disposition by (y) the aggregate amount of all Obligations that were credit bid in such credit bid or other Disposition.

Section 9.03. Bankruptcy. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, each Secured Party agrees that the Collateral Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or LC Exposure is then due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Collateral Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans or LC Exposure and all other Loan Document Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts to the extent due to the Lenders, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agents under Sections 2.12 and 10.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same.

Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Collateral Agent and/or the Administrative Agents and, in the event that the Collateral Agent and/or the Applicable Administrative Agent consents to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, to pay to such Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Collateral Agent and such Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amount due to the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.12 and 10.03.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Collateral Agent or any Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or any Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Loan Document Obligations or the rights of any Lender or any Issuing Bank or to authorize the Collateral Agent or any Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or any Issuing Bank in any such proceeding.

Section 9.04. Reliance. Each of the Administrative Agents and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate,

222

consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each of the Administrative Agents and the Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the applicable Issuing Bank, each Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Bank unless such Administrative Agent has received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each of the Administrative Agents and the Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 9.05. Delegation. Any of the Administrative Agents or the Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-Agents appointed by it. The Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as an Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent.

Section 9.06. Resignation. Any Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty days’ written notice to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower. If any Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, either the Required Lenders of the applicable Classes or the Borrower may, upon thirty days’ notice, remove such Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or delivery of any such notice of removal, the Required Lenders of each applicable Class shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent which shall be a commercial bank, trust company or other Person reasonably acceptable to the Borrower with offices in the U.S.; provided that during the existence and continuation of a Specified Event of Default, no consent of the Borrower shall be required. If no successor shall have been appointed as provided above and accepted such appointment within thirty days after the retiring Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation or such Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent receives notice of removal, then (a) in the case of a retirement, the retiring Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, consent of the Borrower) or (b) in the case of a removal, the Borrower may, after consulting with the Required Lender of the applicable Classes, appoint a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that (x) in the case of a retirement, if the applicable Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent notifies the Borrower, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment or (y) in the case of a removal, the Borrower notifies the Required Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then, in each case, such resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of the Collateral Agent, of any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent in its capacity as collateral agent for the Secured Parties for perfection purposes, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is

223

appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations required to be made by, to or through such Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Bank directly (and each Lender and each Issuing Bank will cooperate with the Borrower to enable the Borrower to take such actions), until such time as the Required Lenders of the applicable Classes or the Borrower, as applicable, appoint a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as provided for above in this Article 9. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, such successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (other than its obligations under Section 10.13 hereof). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent. After any Administrative Agent’s and/or the Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, its sub-Agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the relevant Person was acting as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent (including for this purpose holding any collateral security following the retirement or removal of the Collateral Agent).

Any resignation or removal of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent hereunder shall also constitute its resignation as the Swingline Lender effective as of the date of effectiveness of its removal or resignation as Revolving Facility Administrative Agent as provided above. In the event of any such resignation as Swingline Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint any Revolving Lender that is willing to accept such appointment as successor Swingline Lender hereunder. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Swingline Lender hereunder by a successor Swingline Lender, such successor Swingline Lender shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Swingline Lender and the resigning Swingline Lender shall be discharged from its duties and obligations in such capacity hereunder. In the event the Swingline Lender resigns, the Borrower shall promptly repay all outstanding Swingline Loans on the effective date of such resignation (which repayment may be effectuated with the proceeds of a Borrowing).

Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks by any Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent herein, no Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or any Issuing Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of its Related Parties.

Section 9.07. Arrangers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Arrangers shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement, except in

224

Section 9.08. Release of Loan Guarantees; Collateral. Each Secured Party irrevocably authorizes and instructs each Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to, and each Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall:

(a) without limiting Section 10.22, release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, (ii) that is sold or to be sold or transferred as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted under the Loan Documents (or other disposition not restricted hereby) (A) to a Person that is not a Loan Party or (B) to a Person that is a Loan Party, if (x) such release is a Requirement of Law in connection with such sale or transfer or (y) such transferee Loan Party grants a perfected Lien on such property to the Collateral Agent at the time of such transfer or during such longer period as agreed to by the Collateral Agent, (iii) that does not constitute Collateral (or ceases to constitute Collateral) (including by being or becoming an Excluded Asset), (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor, upon the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its Loan Guarantee otherwise in accordance with the Loan Documents, (v) as required under clause (d) below or (vi) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be necessary under the relevant circumstances as provided in Section 10.02) in accordance with Section 10.02;

(b) without limiting Section 10.22, release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Guarantee (i) if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary (or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a single transaction or series of related transactions or any event or other circumstance permitted hereunder) and/or (ii) upon the occurrence of the Termination Date;

(c) subordinate (and, in the case of Section 6.02(uu), release) any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Sections 6.02(c), 6.02(d), 6.02(e), 6.02(f), 6.02(g), 6.02(l), 6.02(k) 6.02(m), 6.02(n), 6.02(o), 6.02(q), 6.02(r), 6.02(v)(ii), 6.02(x), 6.02(y), 6.02(z)(i), 6.02(bb), 6.02(cc), 6.02(dd), 6.02(ee), 6.02(ff), 6.02(gg), 6.02(ii), 6.02(ll) and 6.02(uu) (and any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of any thereof to the extent such Refinancing Indebtedness is permitted to be secured under Section 6.02(k)); provided that in the case of a release of a Lien on a deposit, securities or similar account (or related assets) there shall be no requirement that any cash pooling and/or treasury service provider hold a subsequent Lien on such account or asset; and

(d) enter into subordination, intercreditor, collateral trust and/or similar agreements (and any amendments thereto) with respect to Indebtedness (including any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and any amendment thereto) that is (i) required or permitted to be subordinated hereunder or pari passu with the Liens securing the Loan Document Obligations and/or (ii) secured by Liens, and with respect to which Indebtedness and/or Liens, this Agreement contemplates an intercreditor, subordination, collateral trust or similar agreement.

Upon the request of the Collateral Agent or any Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders of the applicable Classes will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s and/or the Administrative Agents’ authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Loan Party from its obligations under the Loan Guarantee or its Lien on any Collateral pursuant to this Article 9. In each case as specified in this Article 9, each Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent will (and each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes each Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral

225

from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, to subordinate its interest therein, or to release such Loan Party from its obligations under the Loan Guarantee, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Article 9. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each of the Administrative Agents and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively as to any of the matters described in this Section 9.08 and Section 10.22 (including as to its authority hereunder and thereunder) on a certificate or similar instrument provided to it by any Loan Party without further inquiry or investigation, which certificate shall be delivered to the Administrative Agents and/or the Collateral Agent by the Loan Parties upon request.

Section 9.09. Intercreditor Agreements. Each of the Administrative Agents and the Collateral Agent is authorized to enter into any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and any other intercreditor, subordination, collateral trust or similar agreement contemplated hereby with respect to any (a) Indebtedness (i) that is (A) required or permitted to be subordinated hereunder or pari passu with or senior to the Liens securing the Loan Document Obligations and/or (B) secured by Liens and (ii) with respect to which Indebtedness and/or Liens, this Agreement contemplates an intercreditor, subordination, collateral trust or similar agreement (any such other intercreditor, subordination, collateral trust and/or similar agreement, an “Additional Agreement”) and/or (b) Secured Hedging Obligations and/or Banking Services Obligations, whether or not constituting Indebtedness, and each Secured Party acknowledges that any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and any Additional Agreement is binding upon them. Each Secured Party hereby agrees that it will be bound by, and will not take any action contrary to, the provisions of any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Agreement and (c) authorizes and instructs each of the Administrative Agents and the Collateral Agent to enter into any Additional Agreement (including any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement) and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations to the provisions thereof. The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the Secured Parties to extend credit to the Borrower, and the Secured Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and/or any other Additional Agreement.

Section 9.10. Indemnification by Lenders. To the extent that any Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (or any Affiliate of the foregoing) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agents and the Collateral Agent (and any Affiliate of the foregoing) in proportion to their respective Applicable Percentages (determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders) for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by any Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (or any Affiliate of the foregoing) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s (or such Affiliate’s) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

Section 9.11. Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable Requirements of Law, each Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender (which term shall include any Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 9.11) an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that any Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify such Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective), such Lender shall

226

indemnify fully and hold harmless such Administrative Agent (to the extent that such Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by a Loan Party pursuant to Section 2.17 and without limiting or expanding the obligation of any Loan Party to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by such Administrative Agent as Taxes or otherwise, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was 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 such Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The agreements in this Section 9.11 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of any Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Loan Document Obligations.

Section 9.12. Quebec. For the purposes of any security granted at any time by any Canadian Loan Party pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec, each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes and appoints the Administrative Agents and the Collateral Agent (and, for the purposes of any existing security, confirms the appointment of the Collateral Agent) to act as the hypothecary representative (fondé de pouvoir) (within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec) for the Secured Parties (including for the holder of any debenture, bond or other title of indebtedness issued by any Canadian Loan Party pursuant to the terms of any deed of hypothec) in order to hold any hypothec granted under the laws of the Province of Quebec (including as security for any such debenture, bond or other title of indebtedness issued by any Canadian Loan Party (or as security in respect of any Obligations)) and to exercise such rights and duties as are conferred upon a hypothecary representative (fondé de pouvoir) under the relevant deed of hypothec and applicable laws (with the power to delegate any such rights or duties). Moreover, in respect of any pledge by any such Canadian Loan Party of any such debenture, bond or other title of indebtedness as security in respect of any Obligations, the Collateral Agent shall also be authorized to hold such debenture, bond or other title of indebtedness as agent, mandatary, custodian and pledgee for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the whole notwithstanding the provisions of Section 32 of the An Act respecting the Special Powers of Legal Persons (Quebec). The execution prior to the date hereof by any Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (or its predecessor in such capacity) of any deed of hypothec or other security documents made pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec, is hereby ratified and confirmed. Any person who becomes a Secured Party shall be deemed to have consented to and ratified the foregoing appointment of the Administrative Agents and the Collateral Agent as hypothecary representative (fondé de pouvoir), agent, mandatary and custodian on behalf of all Secured Parties (including for any holder of any such debenture, bond or other title of indebtedness issued by any Canadian Loan Party), including such person. For greater certainty, the Administrative Agents and the Collateral Agent, when acting as the hypothecary representative (fondé de pouvoir), shall have the same rights, powers, immunities, indemnities and exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favor of the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent in this Agreement, which shall apply mutatis mutandis. In the event of the resignation and appointment of a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, such successor of the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent shall also act as the hypothecary representative (fondé de pouvoir) without any further action or formality, other than the filing of a notice of replacement in the applicable Quebec Register in accordance with Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec, and as agent, mandatary and custodian for the purposes set forth above. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender or Issuing Bank shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any other Lender or Issuing Bank. The Lenders and Issuing Banks are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender or Issuing Bank shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Administrative Agents and the Collateral Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender or Issuing Bank.

Section 9.13. Certain Foreign Collateral Matters. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Collateral Documents and the Liens (and the relative rights of the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agents and Collateral Agent) granted by a Subsidiary Guarantor

227

organized outside of the United States and Canada shall be subject to the terms of Schedule 9.13. Schedule 9.13 may be amended by the Administrative Agents and the Borrower, without the consent of any other Lender, Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or other Secured Party, in order to (i) incorporate additional provisions to address the accession of any Loan Party in an additional jurisdiction after the date hereof, (ii) cure omissions or defects or make changes of a technical nature or (iii) accommodate any Change in Law.

Each Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Borrower (on behalf of any Loan Party) may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures set forth herein or otherwise approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. All such notices and other communications (i) sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if not given during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient and (ii) posted to an Internet or Intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (b)(i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

Section 10.02. Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay by any Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any party thereto therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same is permitted by this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it is given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by law, the making of a Loan or the issuance of any Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether any Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.

(b) Subject to clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) of this Section 10.02(b) and Sections 10.02(c) and (d) below and to Section 10.05(f), neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified, except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agents with the consent of the Required Lenders) or (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document (other than any waiver, amendment or modification to effectuate any modification thereto expressly contemplated by the terms of such other Loan Document), pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agent and each Loan Party that is party thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing:

230

(A) except with the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (but without requiring the consent of the Required Lenders), no such agreement shall;

(1) increase the Commitment of such Lender (other than with respect to any Incremental Facility pursuant to Section 2.22 in respect of which such Lender has agreed to be an Additional Lender); it being understood that no amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any condition precedent, representation, warranty, covenant, Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall constitute an increase of any Commitment of such Lender;

(2) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan owed to such Lender or any amount due to such Lender on any Loan Installment Date (other than, in each case, any waiver of, or consent to or departure from, any Default or Event of Default or any mandatory prepayment; it being understood that no change in (i) the definition of “First Lien Leverage Ratio” or any other ratio used in the calculation of any mandatory prepayment (including any component definition thereof) or (ii) the MFN Provision shall constitute a reduction or forgiveness of any principal amount due hereunder);

(3) (x) extend the scheduled final maturity of any Loan or (y) postpone any Loan Installment Date, any Interest Payment Date or the date of any scheduled payment of any fee, in each case payable to such Lender hereunder (in each case, other than any extension for administrative reasons agreed by the Applicable Administrative Agent) (other than, in each case, any waiver of, or consent or departure from, any Default or Event of Default or any mandatory prepayment; it being understood that no change in the definition of “First Lien Leverage Ratio” or any other ratio used in the calculation of any mandatory prepayment (including any component definition thereof) shall constitute such an extension or postponement);

(4) reduce the rate of interest (other than to waive any Default or Event of Default or obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the default rate of interest under Section 2.13(e), which shall only require the consent of the Required Lenders, or to waive adjustments in interest rate or fees on account of late delivery of financial statements or a determination with respect to financial statements pursuant to the final paragraphs of the definition of “Applicable Rate”, which shall only require the consent of the Required Lenders with respect to the Initial Term Loans or the Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable) or the amount of any fee owed to such Lender; it being understood that no change in (i) the definition of “Consolidated Leverage Ratio” or any other ratio used in the calculation of the Applicable Rate, or in the calculation of any other interest or fee due hereunder (including any component definition thereof) or (ii) the MFN Provision shall constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fee hereunder;

(5) extend the expiry date of such Lender’s Commitment; it being understood that no amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any condition precedent, representation, warranty, covenant, Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of

231

any Commitment shall constitute an extension of any Commitment of any Lender; and

(6) waive, amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.18(b) of this Agreement in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby (except in connection with any transaction permitted under Sections 2.22, 2.23, 10.02(c) and/or 10.05(g) or as otherwise provided in this Section 10.02); and

(B) no such agreement shall:

(1) change (x) any of the provisions of Section 10.02(a) or Section 10.02(b) or the definition of “Required Lenders”, in each case to reduce any voting percentage required to waive, amend or modify any right thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender or, (y) the definition of “Required Revolving Lenders” to reduce any voting percentage required to waive, amend or modify any right thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the prior written consent of each Revolving Lender (it being understood that neither the consent of the Required Lenders nor the consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection with any change to the definition of “Required Revolving Lenders”); or (z) the definition of “Required Second Incremental Term Lenders” to reduce any voting percentage required to waive, amend or modify any right thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the prior written consent of each Second Incremental Term Lender (it being understood that neither the consent of the Required Lenders nor the consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection with any change to the definition of “Required Second Incremental Term Lenders”);

(2) release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Lien granted pursuant to the Loan Documents (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents, including pursuant to Article 9 or Section 10.22 hereof or pursuant to any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement), without the prior written consent of each Lender; or

(3) release all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantees under the Loan Guarantee (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents, including pursuant to Article 9 or Section 10.22 hereof), without the prior written consent of each Lender;

(C) solely with the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders (but without the consent of the Required Lenders or any other Lender), any such agreement may (x) waive, amend or modify Section 6.15(a) (or the definition of “First Lien Leverage Ratio” or any component definition thereof, in each case, as any such definition is used solely for purposes of Section 6.15(a)) or waive any Default or Event of Default in respect of Section 6.15(a) (other than as permitted under clause (y)), (y) waive, amend or modify any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 hereof as it pertains to any Revolving Loan and/or Additional Revolving Loan and/or (z) waive any Default or Event of Default that results from any representation made or deemed made by any Loan Party in any Loan Document in connection with any Credit Extension under the

232

Revolving Facility being untrue in any material respect as of the date made or deemed made;

(D) solely with the consent of the relevant Issuing Bank and, in the case of clause (x), the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, any such agreement may (x) increase or decrease the Letter of Credit Sublimit or (y) waive, amend or modify any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 hereof as it pertains to the issuance of any Letter of Credit; ~~and~~

(E) solely with the consent of the Borrower and applicable Class or Classes of Revolving Lenders and/or, if applicable, Issuing Banks, subject to the provisions of Section 1.10, this Agreement may be amended or otherwise modified to permit the availability of Revolving Loans and/or Letters of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars and to make technical changes to this Agreement and any other Loan Document to accommodate the inclusion of any such new currency; and

(F) solely with the consent of the Required Second Incremental Term Lenders (but without the consent of the Required Lenders or any other Lender), any such agreement may waive, amend or modify Section 6.15(b) (or the definition of “First Lien Leverage Ratio” or any component definition thereof, in each case, as any such definition is used solely for purposes of Section 6.15(b)) or waive any Default or Event of Default in respect of Section 6.15(b);

provided, further, that no such agreement shall adversely amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of such Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be. The Applicable Administrative Agent may also amend the Commitment Schedule to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 10.05, Commitment reductions or terminations pursuant to Section 2.09, incurrences of Additional Commitments or Additional Loans pursuant to Sections 2.22, 2.23 or 10.02(c) and reductions or terminations of any such Additional Commitments or Additional Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased without the consent of such Defaulting Lender (it being understood that any Commitment or Loan held or deemed held by any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded from any vote hereunder that requires the consent of any Lender, except as expressly provided in Section 2.21(b)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, but without limiting the provisions of Section 2.22(g), this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agents and the Borrower (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit any extension of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the relevant benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Lenders prior to such inclusion.

(i) with the written consent of the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans to permit the refinancing or replacement of all or any portion of the outstanding Term Loans under any applicable Class (any such loans being refinanced or replaced, the “Replaced Term Loans”) with one or more replacement term loans hereunder (“Replacement Term Loans”) pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that

233

(A) the aggregate principal amount of any Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Replaced Term Loans (plus (1) any additional amounts permitted to be incurred under Section 6.01 and, to the extent any such additional amounts are secured, the related Liens are permitted under Section 6.02 and plus (2) the amount of accrued interest, penalties and premium (including any tender premium) thereon, any committed but undrawn amount and underwriting discounts, fees (including upfront fees, original issue discount or initial yield payments), commissions and expenses associated therewith),

(B) subject to the Permitted Earlier Maturity Indebtedness Exception, any Replacement Term Loans (other than (1) customary bridge loans with a maturity date of not longer than one year; provided that any loans, notes, securities or other Indebtedness which are exchanged for or otherwise replace such bridge loans shall be subject to the requirements of this clause (B), (2) Customary Term A Loans or (3) 364-day bridge loans) must have a final maturity date that is equal to or later than the final maturity date of, and have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity equal to or greater than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of, the Replaced Term Loans at the time of the relevant refinancing,

(C) any Replacement Term Loans may be pari passu or junior in right of payment and pari passu (without regard to the control of remedies) or junior with respect to the Collateral with the remaining portion of the Initial Term Loans or Additional Term Loans (provided that if pari passu or junior as to Collateral, such Replacement Term Loans shall be subject to an Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and may, at the option of the Borrower, be documented in a separate agreement or agreements), or be unsecured,

(D) if any Replacement Term Loans are secured, such Replacement Term Loans may not be secured by any assets other than the Collateral,

(E) if any Replacement Term Loans are guaranteed, such Replacement Term Loans may not be guaranteed by any Person other than one or more Loan Parties,

(G) any Replacement Term Loans shall have pricing (including interest, fees and premiums) and, subject to preceding clause (F), optional prepayment and redemption terms and, subject to preceding clause (B), an amortization schedule, as the Borrower and the lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans may agree,

(H) the covenants and events of default of any Replacement Term Loans (excluding pricing, interest, fees, rate floors, premiums, optional prepayment or redemption terms, security and maturity, subject to preceding clauses (B) through (G)) shall be (i) substantially identical to, or (taken as a whole) not materially more favorable (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) to the lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than, those applicable to the Replaced Term Loans (other than covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the latest Maturity Date of

234

such Replaced Term Loans (in each case, as of the date of incurrence of such Replacement Term Loans)), (ii) then-current market terms (as determined by the Borrower in good faith at the time of incurrence or issuance (or the obtaining of a commitment with respect thereto)) for the applicable type of Indebtedness or (iii) reasonably acceptable to the Term Facility Administrative Agent or the ~~First~~ Incremental Term ~~Facility~~Facilities Administrative Agent, as applicable (it being agreed that covenants and events of default of any Replacement Term Loans that are more favorable to the lenders or the agent of such Replacement Term Loans than those contained in the Loan Documents and are then conformed (or added) to the Loan Documents pursuant to the applicable Refinancing Amendment shall thereafter be deemed acceptable to the Term Facility Administrative Agent and/or the ~~First~~ Incremental Term ~~Facility~~Facilities Administrative Agent), and

(ii) with the written consent of the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Revolving Facility to permit the refinancing or replacement of all or any portion of any Revolving Credit Commitment under the applicable Class (any such Revolving Credit Commitment being refinanced or replaced, a “Replaced Revolving Facility”) with a replacement revolving facility hereunder (a “Replacement Revolving Facility”) pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that:

(A) the aggregate principal amount of any Replacement Revolving Facility shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Replaced Revolving Facility (plus (x) any additional amounts permitted to be incurred under Section 6.01 and, to the extent any such additional amounts are secured, the related Liens are permitted under Section 6.02 and (y) the amount of accrued interest, penalties and premium thereon, any committed but undrawn amounts and underwriting discounts, fees (including upfront fees and original issue discount), commissions and expenses associated therewith),

(C) any Replacement Revolving Facility may be pari passu or junior in right of payment and pari passu (without regard to the control of remedies) or junior with respect to the Collateral with the remaining portion of any Revolving Credit Commitments (provided that if pari passu or junior as to Collateral, such Replacement Revolving Facility shall be subject to an Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and may, at the option of the Borrower, be documented in a separate agreement or agreements), or be unsecured,

(D) if any Replacement Revolving Facility is secured, it may not be secured by any assets other than the Collateral,

235

(F) any Replacement Revolving Facility shall be subject to the “ratability” provisions applicable to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and Extended Revolving Loans set forth in the proviso to Section 2.23(a)(i), mutatis mutandis, to the same extent as if fully set forth in this Section 10.02(c)(ii),

(G) any Replacement Revolving Facility shall have pricing (including interest, fees and premiums) and, subject to the preceding clause (F), optional prepayment and redemption terms as the Borrower and the lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Facility may agree,

(I) the commitments in respect of the Replaced Revolving Facility shall be terminated, and all loans outstanding thereunder and all fees then due and payable in connection therewith shall be paid in full, in each case on the date such Replacement Revolving Facility is implemented.

Each party hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be amended by the Borrower, the Applicable Administrative Agent and the lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans or the Replacement Revolving Facility, as applicable, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of such Replacement Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Facility, as applicable, incurred or implemented pursuant thereto (including any amendment necessary to treat the loans and commitments subject thereto as a separate “tranche” and “Class” of Loans and/or commitments hereunder). It is understood that any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of any Replacement Term Loans or any Replacement Revolving Facility may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Replacement Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Facility.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.02 or any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document, (i) the Borrower, the Administrative Agents and the Collateral Agent may, without the input or consent of any Lender, amend, supplement and/or waive any guarantee, collateral security agreement, pledge agreement and/or related document (if any) executed in connection with this Agreement to (x) comply with any Requirements of Law or (y) cause any such guarantee, collateral security agreement, pledge agreement or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and/or the relevant other Loan Documents, (ii) the Borrower and the

236

Applicable Administrative Agent may, without the input or consent of any other Lender (other than the relevant Lenders (including Additional Lenders) providing Loans under such Sections), effect amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Borrower and the Applicable Administrative Agent to (A) effect the provisions of Sections 1.04(a), 1.08(b), 2.14, 2.22, 2.23, 5.12, 5.14, 5.15, 5.16, 6.11, 7.13, 9.13, 10.02(c), 11.09, or any other provision specifying that any waiver, amendment or modification may be made with the consent or approval of the Administrative Agents and/or any Administrative Agent and/or (B) add terms (including representations and warranties, conditions, prepayments, covenants or events of default), in connection with the addition of any Loan or Commitment hereunder or the incurrence of any Incremental Equivalent Debt, any Replacement Term Loans, any Replacement Revolving Facility, any Replacement Debt and/or any Refinancing Indebtedness incurred in reliance on Section 6.01(p) with respect to Indebtedness originally incurred in reliance on Section 6.01(z) that are favorable to the then-existing Lenders, as reasonably determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent (it being understood that, where applicable, any such amendment may be effectuated as part of an Incremental Facility Amendment and/or a Refinancing Amendment), (iii) if the Administrative Agents and the Borrower have jointly identified any ambiguity, mistake, defect, inconsistency, obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or administrative nature or any necessary or desirable technical change, in each case, in any provision of any Loan Document, then the Administrative Agents and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision solely to address such matter as reasonably determined by them acting jointly without the input or consent of any Lender, (iv) the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agent and the Borrower may amend, restate, amend and restate or otherwise modify any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement as provided therein or to give effect thereto or to carry out the purpose thereof without the input or consent of any Lender and (v) any amendment, waiver or modification of any term or provision that directly affects Lenders under one or more Classes and does not directly affect Lenders under one or more other Classes may be effected with the consent of Lenders owning 50% of the aggregate commitments or Loans of such directly affected Class in lieu of the consent of the Required Lenders.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, in connection with any determination as to whether the requisite Lenders have (A) consented (or not consented) to any waiver, amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (C) directed or required any Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, any Lender (or any Affiliate of such Lender (provided that for purposes of this clause (e), Affiliates shall not include Persons that are subject to customary procedures to prevent the sharing of confidential information between such Lender and such Person and such Person is managed having independent fiduciary duties to the investors or other equityholders of such Person and such investors or equityholders are not the same investors or equityholders of such Lender)) (other than (x) any Lender that is a Regulated Bank, (y) any Revolving Lender as of the Closing Date or any Affiliate thereof or (z) any Affiliate of a Regulated Bank to the extent that (1) all of the equity of such Affiliate is directly or indirectly owned by either (I) such Regulated Bank or (II) a parent entity that also owns, directly or indirectly, all of the equity of such Regulated Bank and (2) such Affiliate is a securities broker or dealer registered with the SEC under section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934)) that, as a result of its interest (or such Affiliates collective interests) in any total return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative contract (other than any such total return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative contract entered into pursuant to bona fide market making activities), has a net short position with respect to any of the Loans or Commitments, or with respect to any other tranche, class or series of Indebtedness for borrowed money incurred or issued by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries at such time of determination (including commitments with respect to any revolving credit facility) (each such item of Indebtedness, including the Loan and Commitments, “Specified Indebtedness”) (each such Lender, a “Net Short Lender”) shall have no right to vote with

237

respect to any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents and shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a Lender without discretion in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not Net Short Lenders (including in any plan of reorganization). For purposes of determining whether a Lender (alone or together with its Affiliates) has a “net short position” on any date of determination: (i) derivative contracts with respect to any Specified Indebtedness and such contracts that are the functional equivalent thereof shall be counted at the notional amount of such contract in Dollars, (ii) notional amounts in other currencies shall be converted to the Dollar equivalent thereof by such Lender in a commercially reasonable manner consistent with generally accepted financial practices and based on the prevailing conversion rate (determined on a mid-market basis) on the date of determination, (iii) derivative contracts in respect of an index that includes the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary or any instrument issued or guaranteed by the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed to create a short position with respect to such Specified Indebtedness, so long as (x) such index is not created, designed, administered or requested by such Lender or its Affiliates and (y) the Borrower and the other Restricted Subsidiaries and any instrument issued or guaranteed by the Borrower or the other Restricted Subsidiaries, collectively, shall represent less than 5% of the components of such index, (iv) derivative transactions that are documented using either the 2014 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions or the 2003 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions (collectively, the “ISDA CDS Definitions”) shall be deemed to create a short position with respect to the relevant Specified Indebtedness if such Lender or its Affiliates is a protection buyer or the equivalent thereof for such derivative transaction and (x) the relevant Specified Indebtedness is a “Reference Obligation” under the terms of such derivative transaction (whether specified by name in the related documentation, included as a “Standard Reference Obligation” on the most recent list published by Markit, if “Standard Reference Obligation” is specified as applicable in the relevant documentation or in any other manner), (y) the relevant Specified Indebtedness would be a “Deliverable Obligation” under the terms of such derivative transaction or (z) the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary is designated as a “Reference Entity” under the terms of such derivative transaction and (v) credit derivative transactions or other derivatives transactions not documented using the ISDA CDS Definitions shall be deemed to create a short position with respect to any Specified Indebtedness if such transactions offer the Lender or its Affiliates protection against a decline in the value of such Specified Indebtedness, or in the credit quality of the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary, in each case, other than as part of an index so long as (x) such index is not created, designed, administered or requested by such Lender or its Affiliates and (y) the Borrower and the other Restricted Subsidiaries, and any instrument issued or guaranteed by the Borrower or the other Restricted Subsidiaries, collectively, shall represent less than 5% of the components of such index. In connection with any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, each Lender (other than any Lender that is a Regulated Bank or a Revolving Lender as of the Closing Date) will be deemed to have represented to the Borrower and the Administrative Agents that it does not constitute a Net Short Lender, in each case, unless such Lender shall have notified the Borrower and the Administrative Agents prior to the requested response date with respect to such waiver, amendment or modification that it constitutes a Net Short Lender (it being understood and agreed that the Borrower and the Administrative Agents shall be entitled to rely on each such representation and deemed representation). In no event shall any Administrative Agent be obligated to monitor as to whether any Lender is a Net Short Lender.

Section 10.03. Expenses; Indemnity.

(a) Subject to Section 10.05(f), the Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Arranger, each Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and their respective Affiliates (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the actual reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one firm of outside counsel to all such Persons taken as a whole and, if necessary, of one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction to all such Persons, taken as a whole) in connection with the syndication and distribution (including via the

238

Internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the Credit Facilities, the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the Loan Documents and any related documentation, including in connection with any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated, but only to the extent the preparation of any such amendment, modification or waiver was requested by the Borrower) and (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers, the Issuing Banks or the Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the actual reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one firm of outside counsel to all such Persons taken as a whole and, if necessary, of one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction to all such Persons, taken as a whole) in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of their respective rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including their respective rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made and/or Letters of Credit issued hereunder. Except to the extent required to be paid on the Closing Date, all amounts due under this paragraph (a) shall be payable by the Borrower within 30 days of receipt by the Borrower of an invoice setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail, together with backup documentation supporting the relevant reimbursement request.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify each Arranger, each Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the actual reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to all Indemnitees taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction to all Indemnitees taken as a whole and, solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest after the affected Person notifies the Borrower of such conflict, (x) one additional counsel to all similarly situated affected Indemnitees taken as a whole and (y) one additional local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction to all similarly situated affected Indemnitees taken as a whole), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or any Letter of Credit or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability (i) is determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (or documented in any settlement agreement referred to below) to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or its Related Party or, to the extent such judgment finds (or any such settlement agreement acknowledges) that any such loss, claim, damage or liability has resulted from such Person’s or a Related Party of such Person’s material breach of the Loan Documents or (ii) arises out of any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding brought by such Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (other than any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding that is brought by or against any Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Arranger, acting in its capacity as an Administrative Agent, as the Collateral Agent, as an Issuing Bank or as an Arranger) that does not involve any act or omission of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries. Each Indemnitee shall be obligated to refund or return any and all amounts paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.03(b) to such Indemnitee for any fees, expenses or damages to the extent such Indemnitee is not entitled to payment thereof in accordance with the terms hereof. All amounts due under this paragraph (b) shall be payable by the Borrower within 30 days (x) after receipt by the Borrower of a written demand therefor, in the case of any indemnification obligations and (y) in the case of reimbursement of costs and expenses, after receipt by the Borrower of an invoice,

239

setting forth such costs and expenses in reasonable detail, together with backup documentation supporting the relevant reimbursement request. This Section 10.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) The Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement or compromise of, or the consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any proceeding effected without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), but if any proceeding is so settled, compromised or consented to with the Borrower’s written consent, or if there is a final judgment entered against any Indemnitee in any such proceeding, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee to the extent and in the manner set forth above. The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of the affected Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which indemnity has been sought hereunder by such Indemnitee unless (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (ii) such settlement does not include any statement as to any admission of fault or culpability.

Section 10.04. Waiver of Claim. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party to this Agreement shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, any other Loan Party and/or any Related Party of any thereof, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or any Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof, except, in the case of any claim by any Indemnitee against the Borrower, to the extent such damages would otherwise be subject to indemnification pursuant to the terms of Section 10.03.

Section 10.05. Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided that (i) except as provided under Section 6.07 and/or pursuant to any Permitted Reorganization, the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with the terms of this Section (and other than in the case of the First Incremental Term Loans and the Second Incremental Term Loans, any attempted assignment or transfer not complying with the terms of this Section shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and permitted assigns, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Arrangers, the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. Any Successor Borrower permitted pursuant to a transaction referred to in clause (i) of the proviso above, shall thereafter be deemed to be and become the “Borrower” for all purposes hereunder, and such initial Borrower, as applicable, shall be released from its Loan Document Obligations in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of any Loan or Additional Commitment added pursuant to Sections 2.22, 2.23 or 10.02(c) at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

240

(A) the Borrower; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment of Term Loans if it has not responded to a written request for its consent from the Applicable Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after receiving such written request; provided, further, that no consent of the Borrower shall be required (x) for any assignment of Term Loans or Term Commitments to another Lender, an Affiliate of any Lender or an Approved Fund, (y) for any assignment of Revolving Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments to another Revolving Lender or (z) for any assignment during the continuance of a Specified Event of Default; provided, further, that (1) assignments between Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. and Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. and (2) assignments between Goldman Sachs Bank USA and Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC, shall in each case be permitted without the consent of the Borrower;

(C) in the case of any Revolving Facility, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender; provided, further, that (1) assignments between Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. and Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. and (2) assignments between Goldman Sachs Bank USA and Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC, shall in each case be permitted without the consent of any Issuing Bank and/or Swingline Lender;

provided that, in the case of assignments of Revolving Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments, it is understood and agreed that the Borrower may withhold its consent on account of the creditworthiness of any proposed assignee (as determined by the Borrower in good faith).

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of any assignment to another Lender, any Affiliate of any Lender or any Approved Fund or any assignment of the entire remaining amount of the relevant assigning Lender’s Loans or commitments of any Class, the principal amount of Loans or commitments of the assigning Lender subject to the relevant assignment (determined as of the date on which the Assignment Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Applicable Administrative Agent and determined on an aggregate basis in the event of concurrent assignments to Related Funds or by Related Funds) shall not be less than (x) $1,000,000, in the case of Term Loans and Term Commitments and (y) $5,000,000 in the case of Revolving Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments unless the Borrower and the Applicable Administrative Agent otherwise consent to a lesser amount, and in each case any assigned amount may exceed such minimum amount in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;

(B) any partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the relevant assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(D) the relevant Eligible Assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver on or prior to the effective date of such assignment, to the Applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrower (irrespective of whether an Event of Default exists) (1) an Administrative Questionnaire and (2) any form required under Section 2.17; and

(E) the assigning Lender shall, concurrently with its delivery of the same to the Applicable Administrative Agent, provide the Borrower with a copy of its request for such assignment, which shall include the name of the prospective assignee (irrespective of whether an Event of Default exists).

If any assignment by any Lender holding any Promissory Note is made after the issuance of such Promissory Note, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender such Promissory Note to the Applicable Administrative Agent for cancellation, and, following such cancellation, if requested by either the assignee or the assigning Lender, the Borrower shall issue and deliver a new Promissory Note 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.

(iv) The Applicable Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, and the commitment of, and principal amount of and interest on the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans and LC Disbursements. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, each Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, each Issuing Bank and each Lender (but only as to its own holdings), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

242

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment Agreement executed by an assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee, the Eligible Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and any tax certification required by paragraph (b)(ii)(D)(2) of this Section, the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section, if applicable, and any written consent to the relevant assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly accept such Assignment Agreement and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(vi) By executing and delivering an Assignment Agreement, the assigning Lender and the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (A) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that the amount of its commitments, and the outstanding balances of its Loans, in each case without giving effect to any assignment thereof which has not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment Agreement, (B) except as set forth in clause (A) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or the performance or observance by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (C) such assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee, legally authorized to enter into such Assignment Agreement; (D) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement and each then-applicable Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, together with the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment Agreement; (E) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent, the assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (F) such assignee appoints and authorizes each Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agents and the Collateral Agent, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (G) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, any Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any other Lender, sell participations to any bank or other entity (other than to any Defaulting Lender or any natural Person or any investment vehicle established primarily for the benefit of a natural person) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which any Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision

of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the relevant Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in (x) clause (A) of the first proviso to Section 10.02(b) that directly and adversely affects the Loans or commitments in which such Participant has an interest and (y) clauses (B)(1), (2) or (3) of the first proviso to Section 10.02(b). Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the limitations and requirements of such Sections and Section 2.19) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered solely to the participating Lender, and if additional amounts are required to be paid to the Participant pursuant to Section 2.17(a) or Section 2.17(c), to the Borrower). To the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.

(i) No Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 than the participating Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to a greater payment results from any Change in Law occurring after the sale of the participation.

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and their respective successors and assigns, and the principal amounts and stated interest of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to any Participant’s interest in any Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or any other obligation under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each 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, no Administrative Agent (in its capacity as an Administrative Agent) shall have any responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (other than to any Defaulting Lender or any natural person) to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to any Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 10.05 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release any Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan, (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof and (iii) in no event may any Lender grant any option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would have otherwise been

244

obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement to any Defaulting Lender. The making of any Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) an SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, Section 2.16 and Section 2.17 (subject to the limitations and requirements of such Sections and Section 2.19; it being understood that any documentation required to be provided by SPC under Section 2.17(e) shall be provided solely to the Granting Lender and if additional amounts are required to be paid to the Participant pursuant to Section 2.17(a) or Section 2.17(c), to the Borrower) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; (ii) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17) and no SPC shall be entitled to any greater amount under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that the Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to any greater amount results from any Change in Law occurring after the grant is made, (iii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender) and (iv) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes including approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of the Loan Documents, remain the Lender of record hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the Requirements of Law of the U.S. or any State thereof; provided that (i) such SPC’s Granting Lender is in compliance in all material respects with its obligations to the Borrower hereunder and (ii) each Lender designating any SPC hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such SPC during such period of forbearance. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.05, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower or the Applicable Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(f) (i) Other than in the case of assignments of the First Incremental Term Loans, any assignment or participation by a Lender without the Borrower’s consent, to the extent the Borrower’s consent is required under this Section 10.05, to any other Person, shall be null and void, and the Borrower and/or the Borrower shall be entitled to seek specific performance to unwind any such assignment or participation and/or specifically enforce this Section 10.05(f) and (ii) solely, in the case of the First Incremental Term Loans and the Second Incremental Term Loans, to the extent any assignment is made by a Lender without the Borrower’s consent, to the extent the Borrower’s consent is required under this Section 10.05, to any Person (any such Person, a “Disqualified Person”), then, such assignment shall not be null and void, but (x) such Disqualified Person shall not be entitled to the benefit of any expense reimbursement or indemnification provisions of the Loan Documents (including without limitation 10.03 hereof) and (y) the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Disqualified Person and the Incremental Term ~~Facility~~Facilities Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Commitment of such Disqualified Person and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Disqualified Person, (B) in the case of any outstanding Term Loans held by such Disqualified Person, purchase such Term Loans by paying the lesser of (x) the amount that such Disqualified Person paid to acquire such Term Loans and (y) par, plus accrued interest thereon, but excluding any premium, penalty, prepayment fee or breakage costs and/or (C) require that such Disqualified Person assign, without recourse (in accordance

245

with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 10.05), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees (and if such Person does not execute and deliver to the Incremental Term ~~Facility~~Facilities Administrative Agent a duly executed assignment agreement reflecting such assignment within five Business Days of the date on which such Eligible Assignee executes and delivers such assignment agreement to such Person, then such Person shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such assignment agreement without any action on its part); provided that in the case of clause (C), the relevant assignment shall otherwise comply with this Section 10.05 (except that no registration and processing fee required under this Section 10.05 shall be required with any assignment pursuant to this paragraph; provided, further, that in the case of the foregoing clauses (A)-(C), the Borrower shall not be liable to any Person for breakage costs. Further, any Disqualified Person identified by the Borrower to the Incremental Term ~~Facility~~Facilities Administrative Agent, (A) shall not be permitted to (x) receive information or reporting provided by any Loan Party, any Administrative Agent or any Lender and/or (y) attend and/or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agents and (B)(x) shall not for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders or the majority Lenders under any Class have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document or (iii) directed or required any Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, have a right to consent (or not consent), otherwise act or direct or require any Agent or any Lender to take (or refrain from taking) any such action; it being understood that all Loans held by any Disqualified Person shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders or all Lenders have taken any action and (y) shall be deemed to vote in the same proportion as Lenders that are not Disqualified Persons in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party. The rights and remedies available to the Borrower pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.05(f) shall be in addition to injunctive relief (without posting a bond or presenting evidence of irreparable harm) or any other remedies available to the Borrower and/or the Borrower at law or in equity; it being understood and agreed that the Borrower and its subsidiaries will suffer irreparable harm if any Lender breaches any obligation under this Section 10.05 as it relates to any assignment, participation or pledge of any Loan or Commitment to any Person to whom the Borrower’s consent is required but not obtained. Nothing in this Section 10.05(f) shall be deemed to prejudice any right or remedy that the Borrower or the Borrower may otherwise have at law or equity.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Term Loans to an Affiliated Lender on a non-pro rata basis (A) through Dutch Auctions, or similar transactions pursuant to procedures to be established by the applicable “auction agent” that are consistent with this Section 10.05(g), in each case open to all Lenders holding the relevant Term Loans on a pro rata basis or (B) through open market purchases (which purchases may be effected at any price as agreed between such Lender and such Affiliated Lender in their respective sole discretion), in each case with respect to clauses (A) and (B), without the consent of the Term Facility Administrative Agent or the ~~First~~ Incremental Term ~~Facility~~Facilities Administrative Agent, as applicable; provided that:

(i) any Term Loans acquired by any Affiliated Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be retired and cancelled immediately upon the acquisition thereof; provided that upon any such retirement and cancellation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so retired and cancelled, and each principal repayment installment with respect to the Initial Term Loans, First Incremental Term Loans and/or ~~First~~Second Incremental Term Loans (as applicable) pursuant to Section 2.10(a) shall be

Any amount due from any Loan Party under this Section 10.20(b) shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of any of the Loan Documents.

Section 10.25. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge 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):

(a) 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.

(a) As used in this Section 10.25, the following terms have the following meanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

“Covered Entity” means any of the following:

(i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §252.82(b);

(ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §47.3(b); or

(iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §382.2(b).

255

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

(b) “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

Section 10.26. Erroneous Payments.

(i) If any Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party (any such Lender, Issuing Bank, Secured Party or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that such Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (ii)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from such Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from such Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuing Bank, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of such Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 10.26 and held in trust for the benefit of such Administrative Agent, and such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter (or such later date as such Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to such Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by such Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to such Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by such Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of any Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (i) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(ii) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (i), each Lender, Issuing Bank, Secured Party or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party (and each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from any Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by such Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by such Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, Issuing Bank, Secured Party or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

256

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

(B) such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify such Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying such Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.26(ii).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to an Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8(l)(ii) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 8(l)(i) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(iii) Each Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party hereby authorizes each Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by such Administrative Agent to such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that such Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (i).

(iv) (1) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by any Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (i), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon such Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as such Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by such Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an approved electronic platform as to which such Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or such Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) such Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, such Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable,

257

hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) such Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) such Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(2) Subject to Section 10.05 but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (other than from the Borrower, to the extent the Borrower would have a consent right over such assignment in accordance with the terms of Section 10.05 (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)), any Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and such Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by such Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by such Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of such Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by such Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

(v) The parties hereto agree that, subject in any event to each proviso below, (x) irrespective of whether such Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, such Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Loan Parties’ Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to such Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and no such subrogation shall apply to the extent an Erroneous Payment is, and with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, compromised of funds of the Borrower or any other Loan Party) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that this Section 10.26 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party (including indemnification obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party under the Loan Documents to the extent relating to principal, interest, premium or fees or similar payment obligations under the Loan Documents) relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by such Administrative Agent; provided, further, that clauses (x) and (y) above shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with

258

respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by such Administrative Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

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

(vii) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 10.26 shall survive the resignation or replacement of any Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

(viii) This Section 10.26 shall solely be an agreement between the Administrative Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks; provided that, the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereby acknowledge and consent to the provisions and agreements set forth in this Section 10.26.

Section 10.27. Canadian AML and Sanctions Legislation.

(a) If, upon the written request of any Lender, the Applicable Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of the Borrower or any authorized signatories of the Borrower for purposes of Canadian AML and Sanctions Legislation, then the Applicable Administrative Agent:

(i) shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for such Lender, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between such Lender and the Applicable Administrative Agent within the meaning of the applicable Canadian AML and Sanctions Legislation; and

(ii) shall provide to such Lender copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.

(b) Notwithstanding and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Lenders agrees that the Applicable Administrative Agent does not have any obligation to ascertain the identity of the Borrower or any authorized signatories of the Borrower on behalf of any Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from the Borrower or any authorized signatory in doing so.

Section 10.28. Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in no event shall any Loan Document require the payment or permit the collection of interest or other amounts in an amount or at a rate that would result in the receipt by the Lenders or any Administrative Agent of “interest” at a “criminal rate”, as the terms “interest” and “criminal rate” are defined under the Criminal Code (Canada). In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specified contingency exceeds the highest lawful rate under the Criminal Code (Canada), the Loan Parties, the Applicable Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread the total amount of interest throughout the term of the Commitment so that interest does not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable Law, and/or (d) allocate interest

259

between portions of the Obligations to the end that no portion shall bear interest at a rate greater than that permitted by applicable Law. For the purposes of the Criminal Code (Canada), the effective annual rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles and if there is any dispute, the determination of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Applicable Administrative Agent shall be conclusive.

Article 11
PARALLEL DEBT

Section 11.01. Purpose; Governing Law. This Article 11 is included in this Agreement solely for the purpose of ensuring the validity and effect of certain security rights governed by the laws of the Netherlands granted or to be granted pursuant to the applicable Collateral Documents and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not limit the rights and remedies provided to any Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent by the other provisions hereof and the provisions of the other Loan Documents.

Section 11.02. Parallel Debt.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the Collateral Documents and for the purpose of the security rights granted and to be granted under or pursuant to the Collateral Documents governed by the laws of The Netherlands (the “Specified Collateral Documents”), the Borrower and each Loan Party that is a party to the Specified Collateral Documents undertake to pay to the Collateral Agent, in its individual capacity as a creditor in their own right and not as agent, representative or trustee, as a separate independent obligation to the Collateral Agent, the amount of its Parallel Debt. Moreover, the security rights contemplated by the applicable Specified Collateral Documents are granted in favor of the Collateral Agent in its individual capacity and not as agent, representative or trustee for the Secured Parties, as security for its claims under the Parallel Debt and consequently the Collateral Agent is the sole security beneficiary of such security rights.

(b) No person shall be obligated to pay any amount representing Parallel Debt unless and until a corresponding amount of the Underlying Debt shall have become due and payable.

(c) To the extent any amount is paid to and received by the Collateral Agent in payment of the Parallel Debt, the total amount due and payable in respect of the Underlying Debt shall be decreased as if such amount were received by the Secured Parties or any of them in payment of the corresponding Underlying Debt.

Section 11.03. Additional Parallel Debt Provisions. In the case of any Loan Party that becomes a Loan Party after the date hereof and is organized in a jurisdiction where “parallel debt” provisions are customary or required, the Borrower and the Collateral Agent are hereby authorized to provide for parallel debt, in customary form (as determined by the Borrower in its sole discretion) in the Counterpart Agreement with respect to such Loan Party. The Administrative Agent and the Parent, without the consent of any other Lender, Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or other Secured Party, may also (i) incorporate into this Agreement additional “parallel debt” provisions as necessary to address property acquired in any jurisdiction after the date hereof where no assets are pledged by a Loan Party organized therein on the date hereof or (ii) amend the “parallel debt” provisions set forth herein in order to (A) cure omissions or defects or make changes of a technical nature or (B) accommodate any Change in Law.
