WHEREAS, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks have agreed to extend credit to the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein. WHEREAS, the Borrowers have requested that the Credit Agreement be amended (a) with respect to the Extending Lenders (as defined below), to extend the Maturity Date to December 9, 2025 and (b) to effect certain other amendments to the Credit Agreement as set forth herein. WHEREAS, the Extending Lenders and each other Lender that is a party to the Credit Agreement on the date hereof, each Issuing Bank that is a party to the Credit Agreement on the date hereof and the Administrative Agent are willing to amend the Credit Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: SECTION 1.

SECTION 4. Representations and Warranties. Each Borrower severally, as to itself and, as and to the extent applicable, its subsidiaries, and not jointly with the other Borrower, hereby represents and warrants to each Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent that: (a) Such Borrower has the power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver this Amendment and to perform its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by such Borrower of this Amendment have been duly authorized by proper proceedings, and this Amendment constitutes legal, valid and binding obligation of such Borrower enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, reorganization or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) the requirements of reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing.

(c) On and as of the First Amendment Effective Date, before and after giving effect to this Amendment, there exists no Default or Unmatured Default with respect to such Borrower. (d) On and as of the First Amendment Effective Date, the Borrowing Subsidiary has received all necessary regulatory approvals, if any, for the extension of the Maturity Date, the other amendments to the Credit Agreement effected hereby and the performance of its obligations with respect thereto. SECTION 5. Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective as of the first date (the “First Amendment Effective Date”) on which: (a) the Administrative Agent shall have executed a counterpart of this Amendment and shall have received from the Company, the Borrowing Subsidiary, each Extending Lender and each other Lender party to the Credit Agreement as of the First Amendment Effective Date a counterpart of this Amendment signed on behalf of such party (which may include any Electronic Signatures transmitted by facsimile or by email as a “.pdf” or “.tif” attachment that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page); (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate, dated the First Amendment Effective Date and signed by an Authorized Officer of each Borrower, confirming the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4 of this Amendment; (c) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Extending Lender, the fees required to be paid on the First Amendment Effective Date pursuant to any fee letters separately agreed with the Administrative Agent in connection with this Amendment; and (d) the Borrowers shall have paid to (i) the Administrative Agent, for its own account, all reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel required to be paid by them pursuant to Section 9.6 of the Credit Agreement for which reasonably detailed invoices have been presented to the Borrowers on or before the date that is two Business Days prior to the First Amendment Effective Date and (ii) Administrative Agent, for its own account, all fees required to be paid by them on or before the First Amendment Effective Date in the amounts heretofore mutually agreed.

Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle any Borrower to any other consent to, or any other waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement in similar or different circumstances. (b) This Amendment shall be deemed to be a Loan Document for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. On and after the First Amendment Effective Date, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “herein”, “hereunder”, “hereto”, “hereof” and words of similar import, and each reference in any other Loan Document to the Credit Agreement or words of similar import, in each case, shall refer to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.

The Borrowers have requested that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders amend and restate the Existing Missouri Credit Agreement to continue and modify the credit facility established thereby on the terms set forth in this Agreement. The Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement will be several and not joint, and, except as otherwise set forth in Section 3.8 or 9.6(c) of this Agreement, the Obligations of the Borrowing Subsidiary will not be guaranteed by the Company or any other subsidiary of the Company and the Obligations of the Company will not be guaranteed by the Borrowing Subsidiary or any other subsidiary of the Company.

The initial Aggregate Commitment is $1,200,000,000. “Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure” means, at any time, the sum of (a) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans and the Swingline Loans at such time and (b) the total LC Exposure at such time. “Agreement” is defined in the preamble hereto. “Agreement Accounting Principles” means GAAP as in effect from time to time, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.8. “Alternate Base Rate” means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the NYFRB Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1% per annum and (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate on such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) for a deposit in Dollars with a maturity of one month plus 1% per annum. For purposes of clause (c) above, the Adjusted LIBO Rate on any day shall be based on the LIBO Screen Rate at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such day for deposits in Dollars with a maturity of one month (or, if the LIBO Screen Rate is not available for a maturity of one month with respect to Dollars but is available for periods both longer and shorter than such period, the Interpolated Screen Rate as of such time); provided that if such rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero.

Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined by reference toa Loan may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued, and/or the LIBO Rate,basis on which is derived from the London interbank offered ratethey are calculated may change. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that,: (a) immediately after the end ofDecember 31, 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022,publication of the 1-week and 2-month Dollar London interbank offered rate settings will permanently cease; immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month Dollar London interbank offered rate settings will permanently cease; and immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month Dollar London interbank offered rate settings will cease to be provided or, subject 37 [[5256226]][[5732940]] to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a changed methodology (or “synthetic”) basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate uponand/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition, or characteristics of the London interbank offered rate or the currencies and/or tenors for which to determine the interest rate on LIBOR Loans. In light of this eventuality, publicLondon interbank offered rate is published. Each party to this Agreement should consult its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, Section 3.3(b) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the BorrowerBorrowers, pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(iv), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (ai) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 3.3(b), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, and (bii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(ii)), including, without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rateLIBO Rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the LIBO Rate, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to any Borrower, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person 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), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service. 1.4. Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into 38 [[5256226]][[5732940]]

existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of its equity interests at such time. ARTICLE II THE CREDITS 2.1.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Borrower may, severally and not jointly with the other Borrower, borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans made to it at any time prior to the Availability Termination Date for such Borrower. The obligation of the Swingline Lender to make Swingline Loans to a Borrower hereunder shall automatically terminate on the Availability Termination Date for such Borrower.To request a Swingline Loan, the applicable Borrower shall submit to the Swingline Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a completed Borrowing Notice signed by an Authorized Officer of such Borrower, not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day of the proposed Swingline Loan.

(c) The Swingline Lender may, by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (New York time) on any Business Day, require the Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding.

Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees that, in issuing, amending or extending any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon the representation and warranty of the applicable Borrower deemed made pursuant to Section 4.2. (e) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower for the account of which such Letter of Credit was issued, severally and not jointly with the other Borrower, shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon (New York time) on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if such Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by such Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon (New York time), on (i) the Business Day on which such Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day on which such Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than $1,000,000, such Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.1 or 44 [[5256226]][[5732940]] 2.3 that such payment be financed with an ABR Advance or a Swingline Loan to such Borrower in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Advance or Swingline Loan. If such Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the applicable Issuing Bank shall give prompt notice and details thereof to the Administrative Agent, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of the payment then due from such Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.9 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.9 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from such Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to such Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of an ABR Advance or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve such Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. (f) Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section in respect of Letters of Credit issued for its account shall be several and not joint with the other Borrower, 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, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a 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 an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) any force majeure or other event that under any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Section 3.14 of the ISP) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the stated expiration date thereof or of the Commitments or (v) 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, such Borrower’s obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, or 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, any error in translation or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to release or excuse an Issuing Bank from liability to a Borrower to the extent of any direct 45 [[5256226]][[5732940]] damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s wrongful honor or rejection of any drawing under such Letter of Credit to the extent arising out of the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, but subject to any non-waivable provisions of the laws and/or other rules to which a Letter of Credit is subject, 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, an 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 Issuing Bank that is the issuer of such Letter of Credit shall, within the time allowed by applicable law or the specific terms of such Letter of Credit 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 Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower by telephone, fax or email (and, in the case of telephonic notice, promptly confirmed by fax or email) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve such Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. (h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of any Letter of Credit, then, unless the Borrower for the account of which such Letter of Credit was issued shall reimburse 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 on which such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date on which such Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Advances made to such Borrower; provided that, if such Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.12 shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of such Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand has been made, on the date on which the applicable Borrower reimburses the applicable LC Disbursement in full. (i) Cash Collateralization. If (i) a Default under Section 7.2 with respect to a Borrower shall occur and be continuing or (ii) any other Default with respect to a Borrower shall occur and be continuing and the Required Lenders shall have terminated the Commitments insofar as they are available to such Borrower or accelerated the maturity of any Loans of such Borrower, in either case as a result of such Default (and unless and until any such termination or acceleration has been rescinded), then on the Business Day that such Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposures representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) 46 [[5256226]][[5732940]]

demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, such Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 101% of the portion of the LC Exposure as of such date attributable to Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower; 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 Default with respect to such Borrower described in Section 7.6 or 7.7. The Borrowers shall also deposit cash collateral in accordance with this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.21. Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations of the applicable Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made only if and to the extent requested by the applicable Borrower and then only at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, and all at such Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements under outstanding Letters of Credit issued for the account of the applicable Borrower for which it has not been reimbursed, together with related fees, costs and customary processing charges and, to the extent not so applied and subject to the return thereof required as set forth below, shall be held for the satisfaction of future reimbursement obligations under Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to (x) the consent of such Lenders with LC Exposures representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure and (y) in the case of any such application at a time when any Lender is a Defaulting Lender (but only if, after giving effect thereto, the remaining cash collateral shall be less than the aggregate LC Exposure of all the Defaulting Lenders), the consent of each Issuing Bank), be applied to satisfy other Obligations of such Borrower under this Agreement. If either Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of any event specified in clause (i) or (ii) above with respect to such Borrower, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower within three Business Days after all Defaults with respect to such Borrower have been cured or waived and, if Loans or other Obligations (other than any unasserted contingent indemnity claims) of such Borrower have been accelerated, all such Loans and other Obligations of such Borrower have been repaid (or such acceleration has been rescinded). If either Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.21, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid), shall be returned to such Borrower as provided in such Section. If at any time the cash collateral of either Borrower shall exceed 101% of such portion of the LC Exposure as of such date attributable to Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall apply such excess funds to the payment of such Borrower’s outstanding Obligations (other than contingent Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit that are fully collateralized and unasserted contingent indemnification claims) or (x) if no such Obligations are then due and owing and no Default with respect to such Borrower shall exist, shall release such excess funds to such Borrower or (y) if no such Obligations are outstanding (other than contingent Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit which are fully collateralized and unasserted contingent 47 [[5256226]][[5732940]] indemnification claims), such excess amount shall be released to such Borrower notwithstanding the existence of a Default in respect of such Borrower. (j) Designation of Additional Issuing Banks; Termination of Appointment of Issuing Banks. From time to time, the Borrowers may, by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, designate as additional Issuing Banks one or more Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below. The acceptance by a Lender of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement (an “Issuing Bank Agreement”), which shall be in a form satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, shall set forth the LC Commitment of such Lender and shall be executed by such Lender, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include such Lender in its capacity as an Issuing Bank. If the Maturity Date shall be extended beyond the LC Commitment Termination Date of any Issuing Bank that is a Non-Extending Lender, the appointment of such Issuing Bank shall be terminated effective as of the Existing Maturity Date, at which time the Borrowers shall pay any unpaid fees accrued for the account of the terminated Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.6(b). Notwithstanding the effectiveness of any such termination, the terminated Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all rights as an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not issue, amend or extend any Letters of Credit. (k) Issuing Bank Reports to the Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section, report in writing to the Administrative Agent, upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be requested by the Administrative Agent) in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, including all issuances, extensions and amendments, all expirations and cancelations and all disbursements and reimbursements. (l) LC Exposure Determination. For all purposes of this Agreement, (i) the amount of a Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at the time of determination, and (ii) if on any date of determination a Letter of Credit has expired by its terms but any amount may still be drawn thereunder by reason of the operation of Article 29(a) of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600 (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the applicable time) or Rule 3.13 or Rule 3.14 of the ISP or similar terms of the Letter of Credit itself, or if compliant documents have been presented but not yet honored, such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be “outstanding” and “undrawn” in the amount so remaining available to be paid, and the obligations of the applicable Borrower and each Lender hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until the Issuing Banks and the 48 [[5256226]][[5732940]] Lenders shall have no further obligations to make any payments or disbursements under any circumstances with respect to any Letter of Credit. 2.5. Types of Advances. Revolving Advances may be ABR Advances or LIBOR Advances, or a combination thereof, selected by the applicable Borrower in accordance with Sections 2.9 and 2.10. Swingline Loans may only be ABR Loans. 2.6. Facility Fee; Letter of Credit Fees; Reductions in Aggregate Commitment and Borrower Sublimits. (a) Facility Fee. Subject to Section 2.21, each Borrower agrees, severally and not jointly with the other Borrower, to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) at a per annum rate equal to such Borrower’s Applicable Fee Rate on its Contribution Percentage of the amount of such Lender’s Commitment (whether used or unused) from and including the Restatement Effective Date to and including the Availability Termination Date for such Borrower, payable quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date, commencing on the first Payment Date to occur after the Restatement Effective Date; provided, that if any Lender continues to have Revolving Credit Exposure attributable to such Borrower hereunder after the Availability Termination Date for such Borrower (excluding any such Revolving Credit Exposure in respect of LC Exposure which is cash collateralized hereunder), then the Facility Fee shall continue to accrue on the aggregate principal amount of such Revolving Credit Exposure until such Lender ceases to have any such Revolving Credit Exposure, and shall be payable on demand. (b) Letter of Credit Fees. Each Borrower agrees, severally and not jointly with the other Borrower, to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower (the “LC Participation Fee”), which shall accrue at a per annum rate equal to such Borrower’s Applicable Fee Rate on the average daily amount of that portion of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) attributable to Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower during the period from and including the Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any such LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon between such Borrower and such Issuing Bank on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the account of such Borrower (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of such Issuing Bank’s LC Commitment and the date on which there ceases to be any such LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for such Borrower, as well as each Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the account of such Borrower or processing of drawings thereunder. LC Participation Fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Restatement Effective Date; provided that 49 [[5256226]][[5732940]] all such fees accrued for the account of such Borrower shall be payable on the Availability Termination Date for such Borrower and any such fees accruing after the Availability Termination Date for such Borrower shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable promptly upon receipt of an invoice therefor in reasonable detail. (c) Termination of and Reductions in Aggregate Commitment and Borrower Sublimits. Unless previously terminated, the Commitments will automatically terminate on the Maturity Date. The Company (on behalf of itself and the Borrowing Subsidiary) may permanently reduce (subject to its right pursuant to Section 2.22 to subsequently increase) the Aggregate Commitment (with or without reducing either Borrower’s Sublimit), and (without limiting the foregoing) the Borrowing Subsidiary or the Company, as applicable, may permanently reduce its Borrower Sublimit (with or without reducing the Aggregate Commitment), in each case, in whole or in part and without penalty or premium, in integral multiples of $5,000,000, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall specify, as applicable, (i) the aggregate amount of any such reduction and/or (ii) the individual amount by which the applicable Borrower Sublimit shall be reduced; provided, however, that (A) the amount of the Aggregate Commitment may not be reduced below the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure and (B) the Borrower Sublimit of either Borrower may not be reduced below the Borrower Credit Exposure of such Borrower, in each case, giving effect to any prepayment to be made on such date. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitment under this paragraph (other than the first sentence hereof) shall reduce ratably the Commitments of all the Lenders. 2.7. Minimum Amount of Each Advance. Each LIBOR Advance shall be in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 (and in a multiple of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof), and each ABR Advance (including each Swingline Loan) shall be in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 (and in a multiple of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof); provided, however, that (i) any ABR Advance (including any Swingline Loan) to a Borrower may be in the amount that is required to finance the reimbursement by such Borrower of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.4(e) and (ii) any ABR Advance to a Borrower may be in the amount equal to the lesser of the Available Aggregate Commitment and the amount by which the Borrower Sublimit of such Borrower exceeds the Borrower Credit Exposure of such Borrower. 2.8. Optional Principal Payments. Each Borrower may from time to time pay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding ABR Revolving Advances of such Borrower, or any portion of such outstanding ABR Revolving Advances in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, upon at least one Business Day’s prior notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Borrower may from time to time pay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding Swingline Loans of such Borrower, or any portion of such outstanding Swingline Loans in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, upon at least one Business Day’s prior notice to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent. Each Borrower may from time to time pay, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4 but without penalty or premium, all outstanding LIBOR Advances of such Borrower, or any portion of such outstanding LIBOR Advances in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, upon at least three Business Days’ prior notice 50 [[5256226]][[5732940]]

to the Administrative Agent. Any optional payment of any Revolving Advance under this Section shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Loans of all the Lenders comprising such Revolving Advance. Failure to make any optional payment of Advances under this Section on the date specified by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, the Swingline Lender shall not constitute a Default. 2.9. Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for New Revolving Advances; Funding of Loans. The applicable Borrower shall select the Type of each Revolving Advance and, in the case of each LIBOR Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto; provided that there shall be no more than five Interest Periods in effect with respect to all of the Revolving Loans of any single Borrower at any time, unless such limit has been waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. To request a Revolving Advance, the applicable Borrower shall submit to the Administrative Agent a completed Borrowing Notice signed by an Authorized Officer of such Borrower not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Borrowing Date of each ABR Advance or on the third Business Day before the Borrowing Date for each LIBOR Advance. Each such Borrowing Notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify: (i) the Borrower requesting such Advance, (ii) the Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such Advance, (iii) the aggregate amount of such Advance, (iv) the Type of Advance selected, (v) in the case of each LIBOR Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (vi) the location and number of the account of the applicable Borrower to which funds are to be disbursed or, in the case of an ABR Advance requested to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.4(e), the identity of the Issuing Bank that has made such LC Disbursement. The Administrative Agent shall provide written notice to each Lender of each request for borrowing under this Section 2.9 by 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Borrowing Date for each ABR Advance or on the third Business Day prior to the Borrowing Date for each LIBOR Advance, as applicable. Not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on each Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make available its Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans in immediately available funds at such account of the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent shall have most recently specified for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly make the funds so received from the Lenders available to such Borrower by remitting such funds to an account of such Borrower designated by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Notice; provided that ABR Advances made to refinance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.4(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank specified by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Notice. 51 [[5256226]][[5732940]] 2.10. Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Revolving Advances; No Conversion or Continuation of LIBOR Advances After Default. ABR Advances shall continue as ABR Advances unless and until such ABR Advances are converted into LIBOR Advances pursuant to this Section 2.10 or are repaid in accordance with Section 2.8. Each LIBOR Advance shall continue as a LIBOR Advance until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such LIBOR Advance shall be automatically converted into a LIBOR Advance with an Interest Period of one month (unless such conversion would otherwise be prohibited hereunder, in which case such LIBOR Advance shall be converted into an ABR Advance) unless (x) such LIBOR Advance is or was repaid in accordance with Section 2.8 or (y) the applicable Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such LIBOR Advance either continue as a LIBOR Advance for the same or another Interest Period or be converted to an ABR Advance. Subject to the terms of Section 2.7, a Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of an Advance of any Type into any other Type or Types of Advances; provided that any conversion of any LIBOR Advance shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.10, during the continuance of a Default with respect to a Borrower, the Administrative Agent may (or shall at the direction of the Required Lenders), by notice to such Borrower, declare that no Advance of such Borrower may be made, converted or continued as a LIBOR Advance; provided that no such notice shall be required in the case of a Default with respect to a Borrower described in Section 7.6 or 7.7, and during the continuance of such Default no Advance of such Borrower may be made, converted or continued as a LIBOR Advance. To request any conversion of an ABR Advance to a LIBOR Advance, continuation of a LIBOR Advance or conversion of a LIBOR Advance to an ABR Advance, the applicable Borrower shall submit to the Administrative Agent a completed Conversion/Continuation Notice signed by an Authorized Officer of such Borrower not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) at least three Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation. Each Conversion/Continuation Notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify: (i) the requested date, which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation, (ii) the aggregate amount and Type of the Revolving Advance to be converted or continued, and (iii) the amount of the Revolving Advance to be converted into or continued as a LIBOR Advance and the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto. This Section 2.10 shall not apply to Swingline Loans, which may not be converted or continued. 2.11. Interest Rates, etc. Each ABR Advance (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance is made to (but excluding) the date it is paid or is converted into a LIBOR Advance pursuant to Section 2.10, as applicable, at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin applicable to such Borrower for such day. Changes in the rate 52 [[5256226]][[5732940]] of interest on any Advance maintained as an ABR Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but excluding) the earlier of the last day of such Interest Period or the date it is paid, at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate applicable to such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin applicable to such Borrower for such day. 2.12. Rates Applicable After Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of any Loan is not paid when due, or if any interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by either Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise (in each case, after giving effect to any applicable grace period with respect to such payment), such overdue amount shall bear interest, commencing on the day after such amount shall have become due in the case of principal and on the second Business Day after such amount shall have become due (in each case, after giving effect to any applicable grace period with respect to such payment) in the case of other amounts, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (a) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in Section 2.11 or (b) in the case of any other amount, 2% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Advances to such Borrower as provided in Section 2.11. 2.13. Method of Payment. All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to such account of the Administrative Agent as shall be specified in writing by the Administrative Agent reasonably in advance of the date any such payment is required to be made, by 12:00 noon (New York time) on the date when due; provided that payments specified hereunder to be made directly to any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender shall be so made to such account of such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, as shall be specified in writing by it reasonably in advance of the date any such payment is required to be made. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received. All payments hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be made in Dollars. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, at any time when a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to charge the respective accounts of each Borrower maintained with JPMorgan for each payment of principal, interest and fees owed by such Borrower as such payment becomes due hereunder. 2.14. Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender to such Borrower from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. (b) The Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the date and the amount of each Loan made to each Borrower hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period (in the case of a LIBOR Advance) with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of any 53 [[5256226]][[5732940]] principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder, (iii) the effective date of and amount assigned pursuant to each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it pursuant to Section 12.1 and the parties thereto, (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from each Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof and (v) all other appropriate debits and credits as provided in this Agreement, including all fees, charges, expenses and interest. (c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of such Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms. (d) Any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note in substantially the form of Exhibit D (a “Note”). In such event, the applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender such Note payable to such Lender. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (prior to any assignment pursuant to Section 12.1) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the payee named therein, except to the extent that any such Lender subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced by a Note. 2.15. Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on each ABR Advance (other than any Swingline Loan) shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Restatement Effective Date, on any date on which such ABR Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Swingline Loan shall be payable in arrears on the date on which such Swingline Loan is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each LIBOR Advance shall be payable on the last day of each applicable Interest Period, on any date on which such LIBOR Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each LIBOR Advance having an Interest Period longer than three months shall also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period. Interest on LIBOR Advances and fees hereunder shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest on ABR Advances (including Swingline Loans), at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate, shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365/366-day year, and in each other case shall be calculated for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to 12:00 noon (New York time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance, any fees or any other amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest, fees and commissions in connection with such payment. 2.16. Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment Reductions; Availability of Loans. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will 54 [[5256226]][[5732940]]

notify each Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Commitment or Borrower Sublimit reduction notice, Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice and repayment notice received by it hereunder. The Administrative Agent will notify the applicable Borrower and each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each LIBOR Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Borrower and each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate. 2.17. Lending Installations. Each Lender may, subject to its obligations under Section 3.7, book its Loans at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Loans and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of any such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in accordance with Article XIII, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made. 2.18. Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the applicable Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or any payment under Section 2.4(e) or (ii) in the case of a Borrower, a payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available, together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of payment by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (y) in the case of payment by a Borrower, if such payment is of a principal, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan or, otherwise, the interest rate applicable to the ABR Loans for such Borrower. 2.19. Replacement of Lender. If (a) either Borrower is required pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 to make any additional payment to any Lender or, in the case of Section 3.5, to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender, (b) any Lender is a Non-Extending Lender, (c) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or has a direct or indirect parent company that is the subject of a Bankruptcy Event, (d) any Lender invokes Section 9.2 or (e) any Lender has advised that it will not consent to any waiver or amendment of this Agreement that requires the approval of all the Lenders or all affected Lenders and, upon the replacement of such non-consenting Lender, the Lender replacing such non-consenting Lender shall consent to any such waiver or amendment and such approval (as to all Lenders or as to all affected Lenders, as applicable) shall be obtained (any Lender subject to any of the foregoing clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) 55 [[5256226]][[5732940]] or (e) being an “Affected Lender”), the Borrowers may elect (i) in the case of the foregoing clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) (but only if such additional payment continues to be required, such Lender continues to be a Non-Extending Lender, such Lender continues to be a Defaulting Lender or the direct or indirect parent company of such Lender continues to be the subject of a Bankruptcy Event, Section 9.2 continues to be invoked or such Lender continues to be a non-consenting Lender), to terminate the Commitment of such Affected Lender (without affecting the Commitments of the other Lenders) or (ii) in all cases, to replace such Affected Lender and its Commitment (including with one or more Lenders (which may be current Lenders) having lesser, equivalent or greater aggregate Commitments than those of the Affected Lenders being so replaced); provided that (A) in the case of any termination of the Commitment of an Affected Lender, no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such termination, (B) in the case of any replacement of an Affected Lender, one or more Eligible Assignees which are approved by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall purchase for cash at face amount the Revolving Credit Exposure and assume the Commitment and all other obligations of such Affected Lender as of the time of such replacement, in each case, in accordance with Section 12.1, and (C) in the case of any termination of the Commitment or replacement of an Affected Lender, each Borrower shall pay to such Affected Lender in immediately available funds on the day of termination or replacement, to the extent not paid by a replacement Lender pursuant to the preceding clause (B), all principal, interest, fees and other amounts (other than unasserted contingent indemnity obligations) then outstanding or accrued but unpaid for the account of such Affected Lender to the extent constituting Obligations of such Borrower hereunder, including payments due to such Affected Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5, and, except in the case of a Defaulting Lender, an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such termination or replacement under Section 3.4 had the Loans of such Affected Lender been prepaid on such date pursuant to Section 2.8. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this Section 2.19 may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Affected Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers may not terminate the Commitment of an Affected Lender if, after giving effect to such termination, (x) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Aggregate Commitment or (y) the Borrower Credit Exposure of either Borrower would exceed the Borrower Sublimit of such Borrower, in each case, giving effect to all prepayments of the Obligations to be made in connection therewith. 2.20. Extension of Maturity Date. The Company, on behalf of both Borrowers, may, on not more than two occasions since the Restatement Effective Date, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders) delivered not fewer than 45 days, and not more than 90 days (or such shorter or longer period, respectively, as may otherwise be agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Company), before any anniversary of the Restatement Effective Date, request (an “Extension Request”) that the Lenders extend the then effective Maturity Date (the “Existing Maturity Date”) for an additional period of one year from the Existing Maturity Date, effective as of a date specified in such notice; provided that (x) the Company may not make more than one Extension Request in any period of 12 consecutive months and (y) the Maturity Date, as so extended, may not be 56 [[5256226]][[5732940]] more than five years from the date of effectiveness of such extension. Each Lender shall, by notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent given not later than the 20th day after the date of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Company’s notice, advise the Company whether or not it agrees to the requested extension (each Lender agreeing to a requested extension being called an “Extending Lender” and each Lender declining to agree to a requested extension being called a “Non-Extending Lender”). Any Lender that has not so advised the Company and the Administrative Agent by such day shall be deemed to have declined to agree to such extension and shall be a Non-Extending Lender. If Lenders constituting the Required Lenders shall have agreed to a Maturity Date extension requestan Extension Request, then the Maturity Date shall, as to the Extending Lenders, be extended to the first anniversary of the Existing Maturity Date. The decision of any Lender to agree or withhold agreement to any extension requestExtension Request shall be at the sole discretion of such Lender. The Commitment of any Non-Extending Lender shall terminate on the Existing Maturity Date. The principal amount of any outstanding Loans made by the Non-Extending Lenders, together with any accrued interest thereon and any accrued fees and other amounts payable to or for the accounts of the Non-Extending Lenders hereunder, shall (in each case, solely with respect to the Non-Extending Lenders and no other Lenders) be due and payable on the Existing Maturity Date, and on the Existing Maturity Date each Borrower shall also make such other prepayments of its Loans as shall be required in order that, after giving effect to such prepayments and to the termination of the Commitments of, and all payments to, the Non-Extending Lenders pursuant to this sentence, (a) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment, (b) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender shall not exceed its Commitment and (c) the Borrower Credit Exposure of either Borrower shall not exceed the Borrower Sublimit of such Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no extension of the Maturity Date shall become effective under this Section unless (i) on the effective date of such extension, the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 (it being understood and agreed that (A) all references to the “Credit Extension Date” therein shall be deemed to refer to such effective date, (B) all references to a “Credit Extension” therein shall be deemed to refer to such extension and (C) all references to the “Restatement Effective Date” in (x) Section 4.2(b) as it relates to Sections 5.5, 5.7 and 5.11 and (y) in Sections 5.5, 5.7 and 5.11 shall be deemed to refer to such effective date for purposes of determining satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 as of such date) shall be satisfied as of such date and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such effective date and executed by an Authorized Officer of the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Swingline Lender shall have no obligation to make or continue a Swingline Loan after the Existing Maturity Date unless the Swingline Lender shall have consented to the applicable Maturity Date extensionExtension Request (such consent to be deemed given if the Swingline Lender is an Extending Lender) and no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit expiring after the Existing Maturity Date, or to amend or extend any Letter of Credit such that it would expire after the Existing Maturity Date, unless such Issuing Bank shall have consented to the applicable Maturity Date extensionExtension Request (such consent to be deemed given if such Issuing Bank is an Extending Lender). In connection with any extension of the Maturity Date under this Section 2.20, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may, without the consent of any Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.20; provided that the 57 [[5256226]][[5732940]] Administrative Agent shall post such amendment to the Lenders (which may be posted to the approved Electronic System) reasonably promptly after the effectiveness thereof. 2.21. Defaulting Lenders. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply: (i) Facility Fees shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. (ii) The Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 8.2); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender shall require, except as otherwise provided in Section 8.2, the consent of such Defaulting Lender. (iii) Unless a Default or an Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure (other than (x) any portion of such Swingline Exposure referred to in clause (b) of the definition of the term “Swingline Exposure” and (y) any portion of such Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Section 2.3(c) or Sections 2.4(d) and 2.4(e), as applicable) shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares of the Aggregate Commitment, but only to the extent that such reallocation does not result in the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender exceeding such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. (iv) If the Swingline Exposure or the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated pursuant to clause (iii) above, then the Facility Fees and the LC Participation Fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.6 shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation. (v) If (or to the extent that) the reallocation described in clause (iii) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, each Borrower shall, within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, (x) first, prepay such Borrower’s Swingline Loans in an amount corresponding to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s non-reallocated Swingline Exposure that is attributable to the Swingline Loans made to such Borrower (other than any portion thereof referred to in the first parenthetical clause in such clause (iii) above) and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks such Borrower’s obligations corresponding to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s non-reallocated LC Exposure that is attributable to Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower (other than any portion thereof referred to in the first parenthetical 58 [[5256226]][[5732940]]

clause in such clause (iii) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.4(i) for so long as such non--reallocated LC Exposure is outstanding or as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 2.21(c). (vi) If a Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (v) above, such Borrower shall not be required to pay any LC Participation Fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.6(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized. (vii) If all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure subject to reallocation is neither reallocated pursuant to clause (iii) above nor reduced pursuant to clause (v) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Swingline Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all Facility Fees that otherwise would have been payable pursuant to Section 2.6(a) to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to such Swingline Exposure or with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment utilized by such Swingline Exposure) shall be payable to the Swingline Lender until and to the extent that such Swingline Exposure is reallocated and/or reduced to zero. (viii) If all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure subject to reallocation is neither reallocated pursuant to clause (iii) above nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (v) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all Facility Fees that otherwise would have been payable pursuant to Section 2.6(a) to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to such LC Exposure or with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment utilized by such LC Exposure) and LC Participation Fees that otherwise would have been payable pursuant to Section 2.6(b) to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks (and allocated among them ratably based on the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank) until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized. (ix) The Administrative Agent shall adjust the allocation of payments hereunder to ensure that a Defaulting Lender does not receive payment in respect of any Loan or LC Disbursement that it did not fund or to reflect any of the actions or adjustments referred to in this Section 2.21. (b) So long as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit, unless, in each case, it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the applicable Borrower in accordance with Section 2.21(a), and participating interests in any such newly made Swingline Loan or newly issued or increased Letter of Credit 59 [[5256226]][[5732940]] shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.21(a)(iii) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). (c) If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the parent company of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank shall have a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make any Swingline Loan and such Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the applicable Borrower or such Lender reasonably satisfactory to the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to mitigate the risk to it in respect of such Lender failing to satisfy its participating interest therein. (d) In the event that the Administrative Agent, each Borrower, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank shall agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans and such funded participations in Swingline Loans and LC Disbursements of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold the Revolving Loans and such participations in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, whereupon such Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender (but shall not be entitled to receive any fees ceasing to accrue or which were reallocated during the period when it was a Defaulting Lender as set forth in this Section 2.21 and all amendments, waivers or other modifications effected without its consent in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.2 and this Section 2.21 during such period shall be binding on it), and all cash collateral then being held pursuant to Section 2.21(a)(v) in connection with the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be released and returned to the applicable Borrower. (e) Except as expressly provided in this Section 2.21 in connection with the obligations of the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks, the obligation of each Lender and Issuing Bank to fund the full amount of its Commitment and to make Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder shall not be released or diminished in any respect by any other Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender. (f) None of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.21 shall be deemed to effect, diminish or release any rights, claims or causes of action the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Banks or any Non--Defaulting Lender may have against any Lender that becomes a Defaulting Lender. 2.22. Commitment Increases. (a) The Borrowers may from time to time (and more than one time), by written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), executed by the Borrowers and one or more financial institutions (any such financial institution referred to 60 [[5256226]][[5732940]] in this Section being called an “Augmenting Lender”), which may include any Lender, cause new Commitments to be extended by the Augmenting Lenders or cause the existing Commitments of the Augmenting Lenders to be increased, as the case may be (the aggregate amount of such increase for all Augmenting Lenders on any single occasion being referred to as a “Commitment Increase”), in an amount for each Augmenting Lender set forth in such notice; provided that (i) the amount of each Commitment Increase shall be not less than $10,000,000, except to the extent necessary to utilize the remaining unused amount of increase permitted under this Section 2.22(a) and (ii) the Aggregate Commitment shall not exceed $1,400,000,000 after giving effect to the effectiveness of any Commitment Increase. The decision of any Lender to become an Augmenting Lender shall be at the sole discretion of such Lender. Each Augmenting Lender (other than an existing Lender) shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and shall not be subject to the approval of any other Lenders, and the Borrowers and each Augmenting Lender shall execute all such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Commitment of such Augmenting Lender and/or its status as a Lender hereunder (such documentation in respect of any Commitment Increase together with the notice of such Commitment Increase being referred to collectively as the “Commitment Increase Amendment” in respect of such Commitment Increase). (b) Upon each Commitment Increase pursuant to this Section, (i) each Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Augmenting Lender providing a portion of such Commitment Increase, and each such Augmenting Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit such that, after giving effect to such Commitment Increase and each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations hereunder in Letters of Credit held by each Lender (including each such Augmenting Lender) will (subject to Section 2.21) equal such Lender’s Pro Rata Share and (ii) if, on the date of such Commitment Increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding, the parties hereto shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, take actions agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Company that will result, within a period acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Company, in the outstanding Revolving Loans being held by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their Commitments. In determining the actions to be taken (which may include the prepayment and reborrowing of all or a portion of such Revolving Loans and/or the making of Revolving Loans on a non-pro-rata basis by Augmenting Lenders for the balance of Interest Periods in progress and at rates reflecting the Adjusted LIBO Rate at the time for loans of such duration), the Administrative Agent and the Lenders will endeavor to minimize breakage costs for which the Borrowers must compensate the Lenders to the extent practicable without undue complexity or administrative burdens on the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree 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 the immediately preceding sentence. (c) Commitment Increases and new Commitments created pursuant to this Section 2.22 shall become effective on the date specified in the notice delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to 61 [[5256226]][[5732940]] the first sentence of paragraph (a) above or on such other date as agreed upon by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Augmenting Lenders. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Commitments (or in any Commitment of any Lender) or addition of an Augmenting Lender shall become effective under this Section unless (i) on the date of such increase, the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 (it being understood and agreed that (A) all references to the “Credit Extension Date” therein shall be deemed to refer to the date of such Commitment Increase, (B) all references to a “Credit Extension” therein shall be deemed to refer to such Commitment Increase and (C) all references to the “Restatement Effective Date” in (x) Section 4.2(b) as it relates to Sections 5.5, 5.7 and 5.11 and (y) Sections 5.5, 5.7 and 5.11 shall be deemed to refer to the date of such Commitment Increase for purposes of determining satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 as of such date) shall be satisfied as of such date and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by an Authorized Officer of the Company, and (ii) the actions referred to in paragraph (b)(ii) of this Section 2.22 shall have been agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Company (provided, however, that the prepayment and reborrowing on the date of such Commitment Increase of all Revolving Loans then outstanding shall be deemed to satisfy the condition specified in this clause (ii)). In connection with any Commitment Increase under this Section 2.22, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may, without the consent of any Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.22. 2.23. Telephonic Notices. Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Administrative Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of such Borrower, it being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to allow borrowing, conversion and continuation notices initially to be given telephonically. Each Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written notice as otherwise required hereunder to confirm each such telephonic notice. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error. ARTICLE III YIELD PROTECTION; TAXES 3.1. Yield Protection. If any Change in Law: (a) subjects any Recipient to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitment or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or (b) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the 62 [[5256226]][[5732940]]

account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Bank, or (c) imposes on any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any applicable Lending Installation or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or such Lending Installation or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lending Installation of making, issuing, converting to, continuing or maintaining its Commitment, any Loan or Letter of Credit (or any obligation to make any Loan or to issue any Letter of Credit) or any participation therein or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lending Installation hereunder, then, within 15 days after the submission of the written statement required by Section 3.6 by the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lending Installation (and otherwise subject to the terms of Section 3.6), the Borrowers shall pay the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lending Installation such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it for such increased cost or reduction in amount received. 3.2. Changes in Capital Adequacy and Liquidity Requirements. If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has had 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, the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Swingline Loans or 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 Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then, within 15 days after the submission of the written statement required by Section 3.6 by such Lender or Issuing Bank (and otherwise subject to the terms of Section 3.6), the Borrowers shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank the amount applicable to such Borrower necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 3.3. Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) If(a) Subject to Section 3.3(b), if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Advance: (i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period (including because the applicable LIBO Screen Rate is not available or published on a 63 [[5256226]][[5732940]] current basis) for such Interest Period; provided that, no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time; or (ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively determined by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Advance for such Interest Period; then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof (which may be by telephone, if promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrowers and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any affected LIBOR Advances requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Advances, (B) any ABR Advances that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to the affected LIBOR Advances shall be continued as ABR Advances, (C) any outstanding affected LIBOR Advances shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Advances and (D) no further LIBOR Advances for such Interest Period shall be made or continued as such, nor shall any Borrower have the right to convert ABR Advances to such LIBOR Advances. (b) (i) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence ofif a Benchmark Transition Event or, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend this Agreement toand its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (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 other 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 (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace the LIBO Rate with asuch Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment withfor all purposes hereunder and under any other Loan Document in respect to aof any Benchmark Transition Event will become effectivesetting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such proposed amendmentBenchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders; provided that, with respect to any proposed amendment containing any SOFR-Based Rate, the Lenders. (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if a Term 64 [[5256226]][[5732940]] SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any other 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; provided that this clause (ii) shall not be entitled to object only to the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment contained therein. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective onunless the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders haveAdministrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrowers a Term SOFR Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent written notice that such Lenders consent to such amendment. No replacement of LIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement will occur prior to the applicable Benchmarkshall not be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after a Term SOFR Transition Start DateEvent and may do so in its sole discretion. (iii) (ii) In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that the Administrative Agent shall post any such amendment implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes to the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective or any other Loan Document. (iv) (iii) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (D) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (v) below and (DE) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. (iv) Upon the receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (A) the applicable Borrower may revoke any pending Borrowing Notice requesting a LIBOR Advance but, if not so timely revoked, such requested LIBOR Advance shall be made as an ABR Advance, (B) any ABR Advances that were to have been converted to LIBOR Advances shall be continued as ABR Advances, (C) any outstanding LIBOR Advances shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Advances and (D) no further LIBOR Advances shall be made or continued as such, nor shall any Borrower have the right to convert ABR Advances to LIBOR Advances.(v) Any 65 [[5256226]][[5732940]] determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative AgentsAgent or the, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.3, 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 heretoto this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.3; with the Administrative Agent agreeing with each Borrower that any determination, decision or election made by the Administrative Agent in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement will be made in the manner that is consistent with its general practices under similar circumstances in respect of similarly situated borrowers under credit agreements that include language similar to that contained in this Section 3.3(b). (v) 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), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or LIBO Rate) and either (1) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (2) 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 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 (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (1) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (2) 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 Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor. (vi) Upon the Borrowers’ receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, each Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, such Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of 66 [[5256226]][[5732940]]

Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will be deemed to be zero. If the Borrowers reasonably request that the Administrative Agent take an action that the Borrowers certify is necessary to avoid material adverse tax consequences to the Borrowers arising from the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement otherwise being treated as a “significant modification” (therefor an exchange) of any Loan for U.S. Federal income tax consequences, the Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonably efforts to take such action; provided however that nothing in this Section 3.3 shall require the Administrative Agent to make any determination relating to Taxes. 3.4. Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a LIBOR Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a LIBOR Advance is not made or continued or an ABR Advance is not converted into a LIBOR Advance on the date specified by the applicable Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, a LIBOR Advance is not prepaid on the date specified by such Borrower for any reason, or a LIBOR Advance is prepaid by such Borrower without such Borrower providing at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent for any reason, such Borrower will severally, and not jointly with the other Borrower, indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by such Lender resulting therefrom, including any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain such LIBOR Advance as determined by such Lender (if and to the extent such Lender, in its sole discretion, elects to impose such a charge). Such loss or cost to any Lender in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain any such LIBOR Advance shall be an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan (but not including the Applicable Margin applicable thereto), 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 (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit at the commencement of such period for a comparable period with leading banks in the London interbank eurodollar market. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Defaulting Lender required to assign its Loans pursuant to Section 2.19 shall not be entitled to compensation under this Section 3.4 in connection with any such assignment. 3.5. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of each Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by each Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that 67 [[5256226]][[5732940]] after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by either Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.5, such Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. (b) The Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes. (c) The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 20 days after written demand therefor (in each case setting forth the basis therefor and the manner of determination thereof), for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.5) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to either Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 20 days after written demand therefor (in each case setting forth the basis therefor and the manner of determination thereof), for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.1(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.5(d). (e) (i) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times set forth herein or as are reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will 68 [[5256226]][[5732940]] permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 3.5(e)(ii)(A), 3.5(e)(ii)(B) and 3.5(e)(ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that either Borrower is a U.S. Person: (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter as set forth herein or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originalscopies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; (B) any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter as set forth herein or upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: (1) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originalscopies 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 originalscopies of IRS Form W-8ECI; (3) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Non-U.S. 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 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign 69 [[5256226]][[5732940]] corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originalscopies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or (4) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originalscopies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; (C) any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to each Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter as set forth herein or upon the reasonable request of either Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originalscopies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to each Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by either Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by either Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Restatement Effective Date. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. (f) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund or credit in lieu of a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified 70 [[5256226]][[5732940]]

pursuant to this Section 3.5 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.5), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund or credit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.5 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or credit). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 3.5(f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.5(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3.5(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund or credit had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund or credit had never been paid. This Section 3.5(f) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. (g) Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.5 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. (h) For purposes of this Section 3.5, (i) the term “Lender” includes any applicable Lending Installation and any Issuing Bank and (ii) the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. (i) For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i). 3.6. Statements as to Claims; Survival of Indemnity. The Administrative Agent, each Lender or each Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall deliver a written statement to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to each amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5. Such written statement shall set forth an explanation in reasonable detail of the manner in which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on such Borrower in the absence of manifest error, and upon the reasonable request of such Borrower, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly provide supporting documentation describing and/or evidencing the applicable event giving rise to such amount to the extent not inconsistent with such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies or applicable law. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a LIBOR Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its LIBOR Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type, currency and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the LIBO Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. 71 [[5256226]][[5732940]] Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank shall be payable within 15 days (or, in the case of Section 3.5, 20 days) after receipt by the applicable Borrower of such written statement, unless subject to a good faith dispute by such Borrower, notice and details of which were provided to the Administrative Agent or the affected Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, prior to such due date. The obligations of each Borrower under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Borrowers shall not be responsible for any reimbursement of any such amount under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5 which shall have accrued and of which the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have become aware more than 180 days prior to its delivery to the Borrower of notice requesting reimbursement thereof and (b) none of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank will make any claim (nor shall any Borrower have any liability) under Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 unless the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall have determined that the making of such claim is consistent with its general practices under similar circumstances in respect of similarly situated borrowers under credit agreements entitling it to make such claims. 3.7. Alternative Lending Installation. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its LIBOR Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrowers to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of LIBOR Advances under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not, in the judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. A Lender’s designation of an alternative Lending Installation shall not affect the Borrowers’ rights under Section 2.19 to replace a Lender. 3.8. Allocation of Amounts Payable Among Borrowers. Each amount payable by “the Borrowers” under this Article shall be an obligation of, and shall be discharged by (a) to the extent arising out of acts, events and circumstances related to a particular Borrower, such Borrower and (b) otherwise, both Borrowers, with each Borrower being severally liable for such Borrower’s Contribution Percentage of such amount; provided that the Company agrees that, if the Borrowing Subsidiary shall fail to pay any amount owed by it under clause (b) of this Section after a demand shall have been made by the Person to which such amount is owed, the Company shall promptly pay such amount (the Company hereby irrevocably waiving any defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of the obligations of the Borrowing Subsidiary under this Section). ARTICLE IV CONDITIONS PRECEDENT 4.1. Restatement Effective Date. This Agreement shall becomebecame effective on the Restatement Effective Date whenupon the Administrative Agent shall have received’s receipt of either (x) a counterpart of this Agreement signed on behalf of each party hereto or (y) written evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (which may include a facsimile transmission or electronic image of a signed signature page of this Agreement) that 72 [[5256226]][[5732940]] each such party has signed a counterpart of this Agreement.

Material Adverse Change.

Any amendment, waiver or other modification effected in accordance with this Section 8.2 shall be binding upon each Person that is at the time thereof a Lender and each Person that subsequently becomes a Lender. 8.3. Preservation of Rights. No omission of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Banks to exercise or delay in exercising any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Credit Extension notwithstanding the existence of a Default or Unmatured Default or the inability of a Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Credit Extension shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by, or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of, the requisite number of Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.2, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders until all of the Obligations have been paid in full. 93 [[5256226]][[5732940]] ARTICLE IX GENERAL PROVISIONS 9.1.

Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that 97 [[5256226]][[5732940]] jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable. 9.10.

Appointment; Nature of Relationship. JPMorgan is hereby appointed by each of the Lenders and each of the Issuing Banks as its contractual representative (herein referred to as the “Administrative Agent”) hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Lenders and the each of the Issuing Banks irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the contractual representative of such Lender and such Issuing Bank with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article X. Notwithstanding the use of the term “agent”, herein or in any other Loan Documents, it is expressly understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender or any Issuing Bank by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and that the Administrative Agent is merely acting as the contractual representative of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In its capacity as the Lenders’ and the Issuing Banks’ contractual representative, the Administrative Agent (i) does not hereby assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, (ii) is a “representative” of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the New York Uniform Commercial Code and (iii) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby agrees to assert no claim against the Administrative Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby waives. 10.2. Powers. The Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent shall have no implied duties or fiduciary duties to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, or any obligation to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Administrative Agent. Without limiting any other power granted under any Loan Document, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to vote all the interests of the Lenders as a single bloc based upon the direction of the Required Lenders as contemplated by any Loan Document. 10.3. General Immunity. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties (it being understood that nothing in this sentence shall affect any liability of JPMorgan in its capacity as a Lender (or of any of its Related Parties in respect of such capacity)) shall be liable to the Borrowers, the Lenders or any Lender or any Issuing Bank for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith except to the extent such action or inaction is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought or (ii) the material breach by such party of its agreements hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (it 102 [[5256226]][[5732940]]

being agreed, however, that no such breach shall be deemed to occur as a result of any reasonable assertion in good faith by the Administrative Agent that any condition to any of its obligations hereunder has not been satisfied). 10.4. No Responsibility for Loans, Recitals, etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties (it being understood that nothing in this sentence shall affect any responsibilities or duties hereunder of JPMorgan in its capacity as a Lender) shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any Credit Extension hereunder or the content of any certificate or other document delivered under or in connection with any Loan Document; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document, including any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to each Lender and each Issuing Bank; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV, except receipt of items required to be delivered solely to the Administrative Agent; (d) the existence or possible existence of any Default or Unmatured Default; (e) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (f) the value, sufficiency, creation, perfection or priority of any Lien in any collateral security; or (g) the financial condition of the Borrowers or any guarantor of any of the Obligations or of any of the Borrowers’ or any such guarantor’s respective subsidiaries. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Borrower or any of its subsidiaries or other Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability arising from, or be responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered on account of, any determination by the Administrative Agent that any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or the effective date of such status, it being further understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation to determine whether any Lender is a Defaulting Lender. 10.5. Action on Instructions of Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents), and such consent or request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank. The Lenders and each Issuing Bank hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except discretionary actions expressly contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document that the Administrative Agent is required to take as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents). The Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document that, in its opinion, could expose the Administrative Agent to liability or be contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, rule or regulation, and the Administrative Agent 103 [[5256226]][[5732940]] shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction in writing by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. 10.6. Employment of Sub-Agents. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Administrative Agent is entitled under Articles IX and X shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents. 10.7. Reliance on Documents; Counsel. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof). The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and reasonably believed by it to be made by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being maker thereof), and may act upon any such statement prior to receipt of written confirmation thereof. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension or amendment of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank sufficiently in advance to the making of such Loan or the issuance, extension or amendment of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Borrower or an employee of the Administrative Agent), 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. 10.8. Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties, severally and not jointly, ratably in proportion to the their Pro Rata Shares of the Aggregate Commitment (or, if the Aggregate Commitment has been terminated, of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure) (determined as of the date of any such request by the Administrative Agent), (a) for any amounts 104 [[5256226]][[5732940]] not reimbursed by the Borrowers for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents in its capacity as Administrative Agent, (b) to the extent not paid by the Borrowers, for any other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents (including for any expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders or Issuing Banks) and (c) to the extent not paid by the Borrowers, for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders or Issuing Banks), or the enforcement of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or of any such other documents, provided that (i) no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, (ii) any indemnification required pursuant to Section 3.5(d) shall, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10.8, be paid by the relevant Lender in accordance with the provisions thereof and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall reimburse the Lenders for any amounts the Lenders have paid to the extent such amounts are subsequently recovered from the Borrowers. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.8 shall survive payment of the Obligations, termination and expiration of the Letters of Credit and termination of this Agreement. 10.9. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Unmatured Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks. 10.10. Rights as a Lender. In the event the Administrative Agent is a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document with respect to its Commitment and its Credit Extensions as any Lender or any Issuing Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” or “Issuing Bank” shall, at any time when the Administrative Agent is a Lender or an Issuing Bank, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with each Borrower or any of its Affiliates and without any duty to account therefor 105 [[5256226]][[5732940]] to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks. The Administrative Agent, in its individual capacity, is not obligated to remain a Lender. 10.11. Independent Credit Decision. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any other Lender or any other Issuing Bank, and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrowers and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any other Lender or any other Issuing Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or a Commitment Increase Amendment, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Restatement Effective Date. 10.12. Erroneous Payments. (a) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby agrees that (i) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender or such Issuing Bank that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender or such Issuing Bank from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender or such Issuing Bank (whether or not known to such Lender or such Issuing Bank), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or any Issuing Bank under this Section 10.12 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. (b) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (i) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (ii) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on 106 [[5256226]][[5732940]]

notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. (c) The Borrowers hereby agree that (i) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender or any Issuing Bank that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender or such Issuing Bank with respect to such amount and (ii) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) shall not apply to the extent that such erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers for the purpose of making such erroneous Payment. (d) Each party’s obligations under this Section 10.12 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 10.13. 10.12. Bankruptcy Event. In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Borrower under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any LC Disbursement shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Exposure and all other 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 and the Administrative Agents (including any claim under Sections 2.7, 2.11, 2.12, 3.1, 3.2, 3.5 and 9.6) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 107 [[5256226]][[5732940]] (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as an Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 9.6). 10.14. 10.13. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrowers, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent or, if no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, 45 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intention to resign. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders, with the consent of the Borrowers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided that such consent shall not be required in the event and continuation of a Default), shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders or consented to by the Borrowers within 30 days after the resigning Administrative Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent has resigned and no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, the Required Lenders may perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and the Borrowers shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations to the applicable Lenders and Issuing Banks and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders and Issuing Banks. If the Administrative Agent has resigned and, at such time, holds cash collateral under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such cash collateral for the benefit of the Lenders and the applicable Issuing Banks until a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed. No successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Administrative Agent has accepted the appointment. Unless otherwise agreed by the Company, any such successor Administrative Agent shall be a Lender or, if no Lender will accept such appointment, a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $1,000,000,000 (or such lower amount as shall be acceptable to the Company). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the resigning Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X and Sections 3.1, 3.5 and 9.6, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Administrative Agent, its sub--agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan 108 [[5256226]][[5732940]] Documents and in respect of any cash collateral held by the Administrative Agent as described above. 10.15. 10.14. Administrative Agent and Arrangers Fees. Each Borrower severally and not jointly agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and each Arranger, for their respective accounts, the agent and arrangers fees separately agreed to by such Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Arranger pursuant to and in accordance with those certain fee letters dated as of November 9, 2019 and as otherwise mutually agreed to in writing from time to time. 10.16. 10.15. Delegation to Affiliates. The Borrowers, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks agree that the Administrative Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates (it being agreed that the Administrative Agent will remain responsible for the performance of all such duties). Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s Related Parties) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Administrative Agent is entitled under Articles IX and X. 10.17. 10.16. Joint Arrangers, Joint Bookrunners, Syndication Agents and Documentation Agents. The Persons identified in this Agreement as “Joint Arrangers”, “Joint Bookrunners”, “Syndication Agents” and “Documentation Agents”, in such capacities, shall have no obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement, but shall have the benefit of the indemnification, reimbursement, waiver and other protective provisions to which they are expressed to be entitled under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, such Persons, in such capacities, shall not have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any other Person. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgements with respect to such Persons as it makes with respect to the Administrative Agent in Section 10.11. ARTICLE XI SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS 11.1. Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks under applicable law, if any Borrower becomes insolvent or any payment Default pursuant to Section 7.2 occurs with respect to a Borrower, or any other Default with respect to a Borrower shall occur and be continuing and the Required Lenders shall have terminated any Commitments as to such Borrower or accelerated the maturity of any Loans to such Borrower, then any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to or for the credit or account of such Borrower may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing by such Borrower to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, whether or not the Obligations, or any part thereof, shall then be due. Promptly upon the exercise of its right of setoff hereunder, each Lender and Issuing Bank shall deliver written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall make such notice available to the other Lenders and Issuing Banks. 109 [[5256226]][[5732940]] 11.2. Ratable Payments. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the amount of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amounts of principal of and accrued interest on their Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and 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 Section shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by either Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to either Borrower or any subsidiary or any other Affiliate of any of the foregoing (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. ARTICLE XII BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS 12.1. 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 assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank (and any attempted assignment or transfer by either 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 this Section. (b) Assignments. (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Lenders, Affiliates of Lenders, Approved Funds or other Persons, other than, in each case, a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person), a Defaulting Lender, a Borrower or a subsidiary or 110 [[5256226]][[5732940]]

other Affiliate of a Borrower (any such permitted assignee being called an “Eligible Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, it being understood that it would not be unreasonable for a Borrower to withhold consent to an assignment of all or a portion of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement to a Person that is not engaged in making commercial revolving loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business) of: (A) each Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrowers shall be required (1) for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund and (2) if a Default has occurred and is continuing, for any other assignment; provided further, that each Borrower will be deemed to have consented to an assignment if it does not respond to a written request for a consent thereto within 10 Business Days after actual receipt of such request; (B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; (C) in the case of an assignment of a Commitment or any Swingline Exposure, the Swingline Lender; and (D) in the case of an assignment of a Commitment or any LC Exposure, each Issuing Bank. (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of the Borrowers shall be required if a Default has occurred and is continuing; provided further, that each Borrower will be deemed to have consented to an assignment if it does not respond to a written request for a consent thereto within 10 Business Days after actual receipt of such request; (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; 111 [[5256226]][[5732940]] (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain MNPI) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, state and foreign securities laws. (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Article III and Section 9.6). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.1 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such Lender’s rights or obligations as provided in Section 12.1(c). (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by either Borrower and, as to entries pertaining to it, any Issuing Bank or Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Register is intended to cause the Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or other obligations to be in registered form within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2), and 881(c)(2) of the Code and Sections 5f.103-1(c) and 1.871-14(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative 112 [[5256226]][[5732940]] Questionnaire and any tax forms required by Section 3.5(e) (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption 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. Each assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the assigning Lender and the Administrative Agent that such assignee is an Eligible Assignee. (c) Participations. (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of either Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (“Participants”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment 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 Borrowers, the Administrative 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 a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the proviso to Section 8.2 that affects such Participant or requires the approval of all of the Lenders or all of the affected Lenders. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article III to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.1 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 11.2 as though it were a Lender. (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.5 unless each Borrower is notified of 113 [[5256226]][[5732940]] the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.5 as though it were a Lender. (iii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under any Loan Document (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 a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of any Loan Document notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. The Participant Register is intended to cause the applicable Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation to be in registered form within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2), and 881(c)(2) of the Code and Sections 5f.103-1(c) and 1.871-14(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. (d) Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority, and this Section 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 a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined by reference toa Loan may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued, and/or the LIBO Rate,basis on which is derived from the London interbank offered ratethey are calculated may change. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that,: (a) immediately after the end ofDecember 31, 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) 37 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] for purposes of the IBA settingpublication of the 1-week and 2-month Dollar London interbank offered rate settings will permanently cease; immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month Dollar London interbank offered rate settings will permanently cease; and immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month Dollar London interbank offered rate settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a changed methodology (or “synthetic”) basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition, or characteristics of the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate uponor the currencies and/or tenors for which to determine the interest rate on LIBOR Loans. In light of this eventuality, publicLondon interbank offered rate is published. Each party to this Agreement should consult its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, Section 3.3(b) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the BorrowerBorrowers, pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(iv), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (ai) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 3.3(b), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, and (bii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(ii)), including, without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rateLIBO Rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the LIBO Rate, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to any Borrower, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person 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 38 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]]

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) each Issuing Bank agrees to issue, upon request of the Borrowing Subsidiary, Letters of Credit for the Borrowing Subsidiary’s own account or jointly for its own account and the account of any of its subsidiaries and (ii) each Issuing Bank agrees to issue, upon request of the Company, Letters of Credit for the Company’s own account or jointly for its own account and the account of any of its subsidiaries, other than the Borrowing Subsidiary and Union Electric, in each case denominated in Dollars and in a form reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time prior to the earlier of the Availability Termination Date for such Borrower and the LC Commitment Termination Date for such Issuing Bank. The issuance, amendment and extension of Letters of Credit by any Issuing Bank shall be subject to its customary procedures therefor. Each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed, for all purposes of this Agreement (including paragraphs (d) and (e) of this Section), to be, and shall constitute, a Letter of Credit issued 41 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] hereunder for the account of the applicable Borrower thereunder. 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 a Borrower or any of its subsidiaries to, or entered into by a Borrower or any of its subsidiaries with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. The Borrowing Subsidiary, in the case of clause (i) above, and the Company, in the case of clause (ii) above, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that, in connection with any Letter of Credit referred to in the applicable clause (and notwithstanding that such Letter of Credit is issued for the joint account of any of its subsidiaries and states that such subsidiary is the “account party”, “applicant”, “customer”, “instructing party” or the like of or for such Letter of Credit, and without derogating from any rights of the applicable Issuing Bank (whether arising by contract, at law, in equity or otherwise) against such subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit), it will be fully responsible for the reimbursement of LC Disbursements, the payment of interest thereon and the payment of LC Participation Fees and other fees due under Section 2.6(b) to the same extent as if it were the sole account party in respect of such Letter of Credit (the Borrowing Subsidiary and the Company each hereby irrevocably waiving any defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of the obligations of any of its subsidiaries that shall be a joint account party with it in respect of any such Letter of Credit). (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment or Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit (other than an automatic extension permitted under paragraph (c) of this Section)), the applicable Borrower shall hand deliver or transmit by facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the recipient) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the account party or account parties with respect to such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend or extend such Letter of Credit, together, in the case of a request for an issuance of a Letter of Credit, with draft language for such Letter of Credit reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the applicable 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. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment or extension of each Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension, (i) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure will not exceed the Aggregate Commitment, (ii) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender will not exceed its Commitment, (iii) the Borrower Credit Exposure of the Borrower requesting such Letter of Credit will not exceed the Borrower Sublimit of such Borrower, (iv) the portion of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by the applicable Issuing Bank will not, unless such Issuing Bank shall so agree, exceed the LC Commitment of such Issuing Bank, (v) the LC Exposure will not exceed $275,000,000 and (vi) in the event the Maturity Date shall have been extended pursuant to Section 2.20, the sum of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit expiring after any 42 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]]

Existing Maturity Date (other than any portion thereof that shall have been cash collateralized in accordance with paragraph (i) of this Section) and the Swingline Exposure attributable to Swingline Loans maturing after such Existing Maturity Date shall not exceed the sum of the Commitments that shall have been extended pursuant to such extension. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Issuing Bank shall be required to (A) issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit (w) other than in Dollars, (x) if any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority shall enjoin or restrain, or by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain, such Issuing Bank from issuing, amending or extending such Letter of Credit, (y) if any applicable law or any order, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or impose upon such Issuing Bank any restriction, reserve or capital requirement with respect to such Letter of Credit not in effect on the Restatement Effective Date for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated (or assured to its satisfaction that it will be compensated) hereunder or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense not applicable to such Issuing Bank on the Restatement Effective Date, which such Issuing Bank deems in good faith to be material to it and for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated (or assured to its satisfaction that it will be compensated) hereunder, or (z) if, for Letters of Credit to be issued jointly for the account of either Borrower and any of its subsidiaries in accordance with Section 2.4(a), the applicable Issuing Bank has not received documentation that it shall have reasonably requested in order to comply with its obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, with respect to such subsidiaries, (B) issue any Letter of Credit that is a commercial letter of credit (as opposed to a standby letter of credit) if such Issuing Bank shall have advised the applicable Borrower that it is unable or not approved to do so, (C) in the case of any Letter of Credit containing an automatic extension provision, permit the extension of such Letter of Credit if (x) such Issuing Bank would have no obligation, at such time, to issue such Letter of Credit under the terms hereof and (y) the Issuing Bank gives notice of the non-extension thereof to the applicable Borrower and the beneficiary prior to the last date on which, under and pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit, such notice will be effective to prevent such renewal or (D) in the case of any amendment or extension (other than pursuant to automatic extension provisions) of any Letter of Credit, if such Issuing Bank would have no obligation, at such time, to issue such Letter of Credit under the terms hereof. If the Required Lenders notify the Issuing Banks that a Default or an Unmatured Default exists with respect to a requesting Borrower and instruct the Issuing Banks to suspend the issuance, amendment or extension of Letters of Credit for the account of such Borrower, no Issuing Bank shall issue, amend or extend (in the case of an automatic extension, only if such notice and instruction is received by the applicable Issuing Bank at least two Business Days prior to the date by which notice of non-extension must be given by such Issuing Bank) any Letter of Credit for the account of such Borrower without the consent of the Required Lenders until such notice is withdrawn by the Required Lenders (and each Lender that shall have delivered such notice agrees promptly to withdraw it at such time as no Default or Unmatured Default exists). (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any extension thereof, one year after such extension) and (ii) the date that is five 43 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] Business Days prior to the LC Commitment Termination Date for the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that any Letter of Credit may contain customary automatic extension provisions agreed upon by the applicable Borrower and the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to which the expiration date of such Letter of Credit shall automatically be extended for a period of up to 12 months (but not to a date later than the date that is five Business Days prior to the LC Commitment Termination Date for such Issuing Bank, unless otherwise permitted pursuant to the immediately succeeding proviso), subject to a right on the part of such Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension from occurring by giving notice to the beneficiary in advance of any such extension; provided further that, with the prior consent of the applicable Issuing Bank, a Letter of Credit may be issued or extended with an expiration date beyond the fifth Business Day prior to the LC Commitment Termination Date for such Issuing Bank, in which case the applicable Borrower shall deposit, on or prior to the date that is 90 days prior to the LC Commitment Termination Date for such Issuing Bank, in an account with such Issuing Bank, for the benefit of the Lenders and such Issuing Bank, as cash collateral pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, an amount in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued for its account by such Issuing Bank that have an expiration date later than the fifth Business Day prior to the LC Commitment Termination Date for such 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 Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that (i) 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 or extension of any Letter of Credit, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Unmatured Default, any reduction or termination of the Commitments or any force majeure or other event that under any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Section 3.14 of the ISP) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the expiration thereof or of the Commitments and (ii) each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees that, in issuing, amending or extending any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon the representation and warranty of the applicable Borrower deemed made pursuant to Section 4.2. (e) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower for the account of which such Letter of Credit was issued, severally and not jointly with the other Borrower, shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 44 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] 12:00 noon (New York time) on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if such Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by such Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon (New York time), on (i) the Business Day on which such Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day on which such Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than $1,000,000, such Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.1 or 2.3 that such payment be financed with an ABR Advance or a Swingline Loan to such Borrower in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Advance or Swingline Loan. If such Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the applicable Issuing Bank shall give prompt notice and details thereof to the Administrative Agent, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of the payment then due from such Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.9 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.9 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from such Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to such Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of an ABR Advance or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve such Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. (f) Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section in respect of Letters of Credit issued for its account shall be several and not joint with the other Borrower, 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, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a 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 an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) any force majeure or other event that under any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Section 3.14 of the ISP) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the stated expiration date thereof or of the Commitments or (v) 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, such Borrower’s obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing 45 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] Banks, or 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, any error in translation or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to release or excuse an Issuing Bank from liability to a 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 each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s wrongful honor or rejection of any drawing under such Letter of Credit to the extent arising out of the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, but subject to any non-waivable provisions of the laws and/or other rules to which a Letter of Credit is subject, 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, an 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 Issuing Bank that is the issuer of such Letter of Credit shall, within the time allowed by applicable law or the specific terms of such Letter of Credit 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 Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower by telephone, fax or email (and, in the case of telephonic notice, promptly confirmed by fax or email) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve such Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. (h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of any Letter of Credit, then, unless the Borrower for the account of which such Letter of Credit was issued shall reimburse 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 on which such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date on which such Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Advances made to such Borrower; provided that, if such Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.12 shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of such Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent 46 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]]

of such payment, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand has been made, on the date on which the applicable Borrower reimburses the applicable LC Disbursement in full. (i) Cash Collateralization. If (i) a Default under Section 7.2 with respect to a Borrower shall occur and be continuing or (ii) any other Default with respect to a Borrower shall occur and be continuing and the Required Lenders shall have terminated the Commitments insofar as they are available to such Borrower or accelerated the maturity of any Loans of such Borrower, in either case as a result of such Default (and unless and until any such termination or acceleration has been rescinded), then on the Business Day that such Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposures representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, such Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 101% of the portion of the LC Exposure as of such date attributable to Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower; 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 Default with respect to such Borrower described in Section 7.6 or 7.7. The Borrowers shall also deposit cash collateral in accordance with this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.21. Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations of the applicable Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made only if and to the extent requested by the applicable Borrower and then only at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, and all at such Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements under outstanding Letters of Credit issued for the account of the applicable Borrower for which it has not been reimbursed, together with related fees, costs and customary processing charges and, to the extent not so applied and subject to the return thereof required as set forth below, shall be held for the satisfaction of future reimbursement obligations under Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to (x) the consent of such Lenders with LC Exposures representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure and (y) in the case of any such application at a time when any Lender is a Defaulting Lender (but only if, after giving effect thereto, the remaining cash collateral shall be less than the aggregate LC Exposure of all the Defaulting Lenders), the consent of each Issuing Bank), be applied to satisfy other Obligations of such Borrower under this Agreement. If either Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of any event specified in clause (i) or (ii) above with respect to such Borrower, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower within three Business Days after all Defaults with respect to such Borrower have been cured or waived and, if Loans or other Obligations (other than any unasserted contingent indemnity claims) of such Borrower have been accelerated, all such Loans and other Obligations of such Borrower have been repaid (or such acceleration has been rescinded). If either Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder 47 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] pursuant to Section 2.21, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid), shall be returned to such Borrower as provided in such Section. If at any time the cash collateral of either Borrower shall exceed 101% of such portion of the LC Exposure as of such date attributable to Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall apply such excess funds to the payment of such Borrower’s outstanding Obligations (other than contingent Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit that are fully collateralized and unasserted contingent indemnification claims) or (x) if no such Obligations are then due and owing and no Default with respect to such Borrower shall exist, shall release such excess funds to such Borrower or (y) if no such Obligations are outstanding (other than contingent Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit which are fully collateralized and unasserted contingent indemnification claims), such excess amount shall be released to such Borrower notwithstanding the existence of a Default in respect of such Borrower. (j) Designation of Additional Issuing Banks; Termination of Appointment of Issuing Banks. From time to time, the Borrowers may, by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, designate as additional Issuing Banks one or more Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below. The acceptance by a Lender of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement (an “Issuing Bank Agreement”), which shall be in a form satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, shall set forth the LC Commitment of such Lender and shall be executed by such Lender, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include such Lender in its capacity as an Issuing Bank. If the Maturity Date shall be extended beyond the LC Commitment Termination Date of any Issuing Bank that is a Non-Extending Lender, the appointment of such Issuing Bank shall be terminated effective as of the Existing Maturity Date, at which time the Borrowers shall pay any unpaid fees accrued for the account of the terminated Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.6(b). Notwithstanding the effectiveness of any such termination, the terminated Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all rights as an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not issue, amend or extend any Letters of Credit. (k) Issuing Bank Reports to the Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section, report in writing to the Administrative Agent, upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be requested by the Administrative Agent) in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, including all issuances, extensions and amendments, all expirations and cancelations and all disbursements and reimbursements. (l) LC Exposure Determination. For all purposes of this Agreement, (i) the amount of a Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at the time of determination, and (ii) if on any date of 48 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] determination a Letter of Credit has expired by its terms but any amount may still be drawn thereunder by reason of the operation of Article 29(a) of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600 (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the applicable time) or Rule 3.13 or Rule 3.14 of the ISP or similar terms of the Letter of Credit itself, or if compliant documents have been presented but not yet honored, such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be “outstanding” and “undrawn” in the amount so remaining available to be paid, and the obligations of the applicable Borrower and each Lender hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall have no further obligations to make any payments or disbursements under any circumstances with respect to any Letter of Credit. 2.5. Types of Advances. Revolving Advances may be ABR Advances or LIBOR Advances, or a combination thereof, selected by the applicable Borrower in accordance with Sections 2.9 and 2.10. Swingline Loans may only be ABR Loans. 2.6. Facility Fee; Letter of Credit Fees; Reductions in Aggregate Commitment and Borrower Sublimits. (a) Facility Fee. Subject to Section 2.21, each Borrower agrees, severally and not jointly with the other Borrower, to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) at a per annum rate equal to such Borrower’s Applicable Fee Rate on its Contribution Percentage of the amount of such Lender’s Commitment (whether used or unused) from and including the Restatement Effective Date to and including the Availability Termination Date for such Borrower, payable quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date, commencing on the first Payment Date to occur after the Restatement Effective Date; provided, that if any Lender continues to have Revolving Credit Exposure attributable to such Borrower hereunder after the Availability Termination Date for such Borrower (excluding any such Revolving Credit Exposure in respect of LC Exposure which is cash collateralized hereunder), then the Facility Fee shall continue to accrue on the aggregate principal amount of such Revolving Credit Exposure until such Lender ceases to have any such Revolving Credit Exposure, and shall be payable on demand. (b) Letter of Credit Fees. Each Borrower agrees, severally and not jointly with the other Borrower, to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower (the “LC Participation Fee”), which shall accrue at a per annum rate equal to such Borrower’s Applicable Fee Rate on the average daily amount of that portion of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) attributable to Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower during the period from and including the Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any such LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon between such Borrower and such Issuing Bank on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the account of such Borrower (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Restatement Effective Date to but 49 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] excluding the later of the date of termination of such Issuing Bank’s LC Commitment and the date on which there ceases to be any such LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for such Borrower, as well as each Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the account of such Borrower or processing of drawings thereunder. LC Participation Fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Restatement Effective Date; provided that all such fees accrued for the account of such Borrower shall be payable on the Availability Termination Date for such Borrower and any such fees accruing after the Availability Termination Date for such Borrower shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable promptly upon receipt of an invoice therefor in reasonable detail. (c) Termination of and Reductions in Aggregate Commitment and Borrower Sublimits. Unless previously terminated, the Commitments will automatically terminate on the Maturity Date. The Company (on behalf of itself and the Borrowing Subsidiary) may permanently reduce (subject to its right pursuant to Section 2.22 to subsequently increase) the Aggregate Commitment (with or without reducing either Borrower’s Sublimit), and (without limiting the foregoing) the Borrowing Subsidiary or the Company, as applicable, may permanently reduce its Borrower Sublimit (with or without reducing the Aggregate Commitment), in each case, in whole or in part and without penalty or premium, in integral multiples of $5,000,000, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall specify, as applicable, (i) the aggregate amount of any such reduction and/or (ii) the individual amount by which the applicable Borrower Sublimit shall be reduced; provided, however, that (A) the amount of the Aggregate Commitment may not be reduced below the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure and (B) the Borrower Sublimit of either Borrower may not be reduced below the Borrower Credit Exposure of such Borrower, in each case, giving effect to any prepayment to be made on such date. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitment under this paragraph (other than the first sentence hereof) shall reduce ratably the Commitments of all the Lenders. 2.7. Minimum Amount of Each Advance. Each LIBOR Advance shall be in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 (and in a multiple of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof), and each ABR Advance (including each Swingline Loan) shall be in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 (and in a multiple of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof); provided, however, that (i) any ABR Advance (including any Swingline Loan) to a Borrower may be in the amount that is required to finance the reimbursement by such Borrower of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.4(e) and (ii) any ABR Advance to a Borrower may be in the amount equal to the lesser of the Available Aggregate Commitment and the amount by which the Borrower Sublimit of such Borrower exceeds the Borrower Credit Exposure of such Borrower. 2.8. Optional Principal Payments. Each Borrower may from time to time pay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding ABR Revolving Advances of such Borrower, or any portion of such outstanding ABR Revolving Advances in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, upon at least one Business Day’s prior notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Borrower may from time to time pay, without penalty 50 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]]

or premium, all outstanding Swingline Loans of such Borrower, or any portion of such outstanding Swingline Loans in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, upon at least one Business Day’s prior notice to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent. Each Borrower may from time to time pay, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4 but without penalty or premium, all outstanding LIBOR Advances of such Borrower, or any portion of such outstanding LIBOR Advances in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, upon at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent. Any optional payment of any Revolving Advance under this Section shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Loans of all the Lenders comprising such Revolving Advance. Failure to make any optional payment of Advances under this Section on the date specified by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, the Swingline Lender shall not constitute a Default. 2.9. Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for New Revolving Advances; Funding of Loans. The applicable Borrower shall select the Type of each Revolving Advance and, in the case of each LIBOR Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto; provided that there shall be no more than five Interest Periods in effect with respect to all of the Revolving Loans of any single Borrower at any time, unless such limit has been waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. To request a Revolving Advance, the applicable Borrower shall submit to the Administrative Agent a completed Borrowing Notice signed by an Authorized Officer of such Borrower not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Borrowing Date of each ABR Advance or on the third Business Day before the Borrowing Date for each LIBOR Advance. Each such Borrowing Notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify: (i) the Borrower requesting such Advance, (ii) the Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such Advance, (iii) the aggregate amount of such Advance, (iv) the Type of Advance selected, (v) in the case of each LIBOR Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (vi) the location and number of the account of the applicable Borrower to which funds are to be disbursed or, in the case of an ABR Advance requested to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.4(e), the identity of the Issuing Bank that has made such LC Disbursement. The Administrative Agent shall provide written notice to each Lender of each request for borrowing under this Section 2.9 by 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Borrowing Date for each ABR Advance or on the third Business Day prior to the Borrowing Date for each LIBOR Advance, as applicable. Not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on each Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make available its Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans in immediately available funds at such account of the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent shall have most recently specified for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative 51 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] Agent will promptly make the funds so received from the Lenders available to such Borrower by remitting such funds to an account of such Borrower designated by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Notice; provided that ABR Advances made to refinance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.4(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank specified by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Notice. 2.10. Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Revolving Advances; No Conversion or Continuation of LIBOR Advances After Default. ABR Advances shall continue as ABR Advances unless and until such ABR Advances are converted into LIBOR Advances pursuant to this Section 2.10 or are repaid in accordance with Section 2.8. Each LIBOR Advance shall continue as a LIBOR Advance until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such LIBOR Advance shall be automatically converted into a LIBOR Advance with an Interest Period of one month (unless such conversion would otherwise be prohibited hereunder, in which case such LIBOR Advance shall be converted into an ABR Advance) unless (x) such LIBOR Advance is or was repaid in accordance with Section 2.8 or (y) the applicable Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such LIBOR Advance either continue as a LIBOR Advance for the same or another Interest Period or be converted to an ABR Advance. Subject to the terms of Section 2.7, a Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of an Advance of any Type into any other Type or Types of Advances; provided that any conversion of any LIBOR Advance shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.10, during the continuance of a Default with respect to a Borrower, the Administrative Agent may (or shall at the direction of the Required Lenders), by notice to such Borrower, declare that no Advance of such Borrower may be made, converted or continued as a LIBOR Advance; provided that no such notice shall be required in the case of a Default with respect to a Borrower described in Section 7.6 or 7.7, and during the continuance of such Default no Advance of such Borrower may be made, converted or continued as a LIBOR Advance. To request any conversion of an ABR Advance to a LIBOR Advance, continuation of a LIBOR Advance or conversion of a LIBOR Advance to an ABR Advance, the applicable Borrower shall submit to the Administrative Agent a completed Conversion/Continuation Notice signed by an Authorized Officer of such Borrower not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) at least three Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation. Each Conversion/Continuation Notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify: (i) the requested date, which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation, (ii) the aggregate amount and Type of the Revolving Advance to be converted or continued, and (iii) the amount of the Revolving Advance to be converted into or continued as a LIBOR Advance and the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 52 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] This Section 2.10 shall not apply to Swingline Loans, which may not be converted or continued. 2.11. Interest Rates, etc.Each ABR Advance (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance is made to (but excluding) the date it is paid or is converted into a LIBOR Advance pursuant to Section 2.10, as applicable, at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin applicable to such Borrower for such day. Changes in the rate of interest on any Advance maintained as an ABR Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but excluding) the earlier of the last day of such Interest Period or the date it is paid, at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate applicable to such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin applicable to such Borrower for such day. 2.12. Rates Applicable After Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of any Loan is not paid when due, or if any interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by either Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise (in each case, after giving effect to any applicable grace period with respect to such payment), such overdue amount shall bear interest, commencing on the day after such amount shall have become due in the case of principal and on the second Business Day after such amount shall have become due (in each case, after giving effect to any applicable grace period with respect to such payment) in the case of other amounts, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (a) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in Section 2.11 or (b) in the case of any other amount, 2% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Advances to such Borrower as provided in Section 2.11. 2.13. Method of Payment. All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to such account of the Administrative Agent as shall be specified in writing by the Administrative Agent reasonably in advance of the date any such payment is required to be made, by 12:00 noon (New York time) on the date when due; provided that payments specified hereunder to be made directly to any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender shall be so made to such account of such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, as shall be specified in writing by it reasonably in advance of the date any such payment is required to be made. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received. All payments hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be made in Dollars. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, at any time when a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to charge the respective accounts of each Borrower maintained with JPMorgan for each payment of principal, interest and fees owed by such Borrower as such payment becomes due hereunder. 53 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] 2.14. Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender to such Borrower from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. (b) The Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the date and the amount of each Loan made to each Borrower hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period (in the case of a LIBOR Advance) with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder, (iii) the effective date of and amount assigned pursuant to each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it pursuant to Section 12.1 and the parties thereto, (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from each Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof and (v) all other appropriate debits and credits as provided in this Agreement, including all fees, charges, expenses and interest. (c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of such Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms. (d) Any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note in substantially the form of Exhibit D (a “Note”). In such event, the applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender such Note payable to such Lender. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (prior to any assignment pursuant to Section 12.1) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the payee named therein, except to the extent that any such Lender subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced by a Note. 2.15. Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on each ABR Advance (other than any Swingline Loan) shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Restatement Effective Date, on any date on which such ABR Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Swingline Loan shall be payable in arrears on the date on which such Swingline Loan is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each LIBOR Advance shall be payable on the last day of each applicable Interest Period, on any date on which such LIBOR Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each LIBOR Advance having an Interest Period longer than three months shall also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period. Interest on LIBOR Advances and fees hereunder shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest on ABR Advances (including Swingline Loans), at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate, shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365/366-day year, and in each other case shall be calculated for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest shall 54 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]]

be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to 12:00 noon (New York time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance, any fees or any other amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest, fees and commissions in connection with such payment. 2.16. Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment Reductions; Availability of Loans. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Commitment or Borrower Sublimit reduction notice, Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice and repayment notice received by it hereunder. The Administrative Agent will notify the applicable Borrower and each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each LIBOR Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Borrower and each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate. 2.17. Lending Installations. Each Lender may, subject to its obligations under Section 3.7, book its Loans at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Loans and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of any such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in accordance with Article XIII, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made. 2.18. Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the applicable Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or any payment under Section 2.4(e) or (ii) in the case of a Borrower, a payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available, together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of payment by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (y) in the case of payment by a Borrower, if such payment is of a principal, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan or, otherwise, the interest rate applicable to the ABR Loans for such Borrower. 55 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] 2.19. Replacement of Lender. If (a) either Borrower is required pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 to make any additional payment to any Lender or, in the case of Section 3.5, to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender, (b) any Lender is a Non-Extending Lender, (c) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or has a direct or indirect parent company that is the subject of a Bankruptcy Event, (d) any Lender invokes Section 9.2 or (e) any Lender has advised that it will not consent to any waiver or amendment of this Agreement that requires the approval of all the Lenders or all affected Lenders and, upon the replacement of such non-consenting Lender, the Lender replacing such non-consenting Lender shall consent to any such waiver or amendment and such approval (as to all Lenders or as to all affected Lenders, as applicable) shall be obtained (any Lender subject to any of the foregoing clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) being an “Affected Lender”), the Borrowers may elect (i) in the case of the foregoing clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) (but only if such additional payment continues to be required, such Lender continues to be a Non-Extending Lender, such Lender continues to be a Defaulting Lender or the direct or indirect parent company of such Lender continues to be the subject of a Bankruptcy Event, Section 9.2 continues to be invoked or such Lender continues to be a non-consenting Lender), to terminate the Commitment of such Affected Lender (without affecting the Commitments of the other Lenders) or (ii) in all cases, to replace such Affected Lender and its Commitment (including with one or more Lenders (which may be current Lenders) having lesser, equivalent or greater aggregate Commitments than those of the Affected Lenders being so replaced); provided that (A) in the case of any termination of the Commitment of an Affected Lender, no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such termination, (B) in the case of any replacement of an Affected Lender, one or more Eligible Assignees which are approved by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall purchase for cash at face amount the Revolving Credit Exposure and assume the Commitment and all other obligations of such Affected Lender as of the time of such replacement, in each case, in accordance with Section 12.1, and (C) in the case of any termination of the Commitment or replacement of an Affected Lender, each Borrower shall pay to such Affected Lender in immediately available funds on the day of termination or replacement, to the extent not paid by a replacement Lender pursuant to the preceding clause (B), all principal, interest, fees and other amounts (other than unasserted contingent indemnity obligations) then outstanding or accrued but unpaid for the account of such Affected Lender to the extent constituting Obligations of such Borrower hereunder, including payments due to such Affected Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5, and, except in the case of a Defaulting Lender, an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such termination or replacement under Section 3.4 had the Loans of such Affected Lender been prepaid on such date pursuant to Section 2.8. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this Section 2.19 may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Affected Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers may not terminate the Commitment of an Affected Lender if, after giving effect to such termination, (x) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Aggregate Commitment or (y) the Borrower Credit Exposure of either Borrower would exceed the Borrower Sublimit of such Borrower, in each case, giving effect to all prepayments of the Obligations to be made in connection therewith. 56 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] 2.20. Extension of Maturity Date. The Company, on behalf of both Borrowers, may, on not more than two occasions since the Restatement Effective Date, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders) delivered not fewer than 45 days, and not more than 90 days (or such shorter or longer period, respectively, as may otherwise be agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Company), before any anniversary of the Restatement Effective Date, request (an “Extension Request”) that the Lenders extend the then effective Maturity Date (the “Existing Maturity Date”) for an additional period of one year from the Existing Maturity Date, effective as of a date specified in such notice; provided that (x) the Company may not make more than one Extension Request in any period of 12 consecutive months and (y) the Maturity Date, as so extended, may not be more than five years from the date of effectiveness of such extension. Each Lender shall, by notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent given not later than the 20th day after the date of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Company’s notice, advise the Company whether or not it agrees to the requested extension (each Lender agreeing to a requested extension being called an “Extending Lender” and each Lender declining to agree to a requested extension being called a “Non-Extending Lender”). Any Lender that has not so advised the Company and the Administrative Agent by such day shall be deemed to have declined to agree to such extension and shall be a Non-Extending Lender. If Lenders constituting the Required Lenders shall have agreed to a Maturity Date extension requestan Extension Request, then the Maturity Date shall, as to the Extending Lenders, be extended to the first anniversary of the Existing Maturity Date. The decision of any Lender to agree or withhold agreement to any extension requestExtension Request shall be at the sole discretion of such Lender. The Commitment of any Non-Extending Lender shall terminate on the Existing Maturity Date. The principal amount of any outstanding Loans made by the Non-Extending Lenders, together with any accrued interest thereon and any accrued fees and other amounts payable to or for the accounts of the Non-Extending Lenders hereunder, shall (in each case, solely with respect to the Non-Extending Lenders and no other Lenders) be due and payable on the Existing Maturity Date, and on the Existing Maturity Date each Borrower shall also make such other prepayments of its Loans as shall be required in order that, after giving effect to such prepayments and to the termination of the Commitments of, and all payments to, the Non-Extending Lenders pursuant to this sentence, (a) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment, (b) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender shall not exceed its Commitment and (c) the Borrower Credit Exposure of either Borrower shall not exceed the Borrower Sublimit of such Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no extension of the Maturity Date shall become effective under this Section unless (i) on the effective date of such extension, the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 (it being understood and agreed that (A) all references to the “Credit Extension Date” therein shall be deemed to refer to such effective date, (B) all references to a “Credit Extension” therein shall be deemed to refer to such extension and (C) all references to the “Restatement Effective Date” in (x) Section 4.2(b) as it relates to Sections 5.5, 5.7 and 5.11 and (y) in Sections 5.5, 5.7 and 5.11 shall be deemed to refer to such effective date for purposes of determining satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 as of such date) shall be satisfied as of such date and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such effective date and executed by an Authorized Officer of the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Swingline Lender shall have no obligation to make or continue a Swingline Loan after the Existing Maturity Date unless the Swingline Lender shall have consented to the applicable Maturity Date extensionExtension 57 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] Request (such consent to be deemed given if the Swingline Lender is an Extending Lender) and no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit expiring after the Existing Maturity Date, or to amend or extend any Letter of Credit such that it would expire after the Existing Maturity Date, unless such Issuing Bank shall have consented to the applicable Maturity Date extensionExtension Request (such consent to be deemed given if such Issuing Bank is an Extending Lender). In connection with any extension of the Maturity Date under this Section 2.20, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may, without the consent of any Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.20; provided that the Administrative Agent shall post such amendment to the Lenders (which may be posted to the approved Electronic System) reasonably promptly after the effectiveness thereof. 2.21. Defaulting Lenders. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply: (i) Facility Fees shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. (ii) The Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 8.2); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender shall require, except as otherwise provided in Section 8.2, the consent of such Defaulting Lender. (iii) Unless a Default or an Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure (other than (x) any portion of such Swingline Exposure referred to in clause (b) of the definition of the term “Swingline Exposure” and (y) any portion of such Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Section 2.3(c) or Sections 2.4(d) and 2.4(e), as applicable) shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares of the Aggregate Commitment, but only to the extent that such reallocation does not result in the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender exceeding such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. (iv) If the Swingline Exposure or the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated pursuant to clause (iii) above, then the Facility Fees and the LC Participation Fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.6 shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation. (v) If (or to the extent that) the reallocation described in clause (iii) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, each Borrower shall, within one Business Day 58 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]]

following notice by the Administrative Agent, (x) first, prepay such Borrower’s Swingline Loans in an amount corresponding to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s non-reallocated Swingline Exposure that is attributable to the Swingline Loans made to such Borrower (other than any portion thereof referred to in the first parenthetical clause in such clause (iii) above) and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks such Borrower’s obligations corresponding to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s non-reallocated LC Exposure that is attributable to Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower (other than any portion thereof referred to in the first parenthetical clause in such clause (iii) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.4(i) for so long as such non-reallocated LC Exposure is outstanding or as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 2.21(c). (vi) If a Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (v) above, such Borrower shall not be required to pay any LC Participation Fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.6(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized. (vii) If all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure subject to reallocation is neither reallocated pursuant to clause (iii) above nor reduced pursuant to clause (v) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Swingline Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all Facility Fees that otherwise would have been payable pursuant to Section 2.6(a) to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to such Swingline Exposure or with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment utilized by such Swingline Exposure) shall be payable to the Swingline Lender until and to the extent that such Swingline Exposure is reallocated and/or reduced to zero. (viii) If all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure subject to reallocation is neither reallocated pursuant to clause (iii) above nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (v) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all Facility Fees that otherwise would have been payable pursuant to Section 2.6(a) to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to such LC Exposure or with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment utilized by such LC Exposure) and LC Participation Fees that otherwise would have been payable pursuant to Section 2.6(b) to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks (and allocated among them ratably based on the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank) until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized. (ix) The Administrative Agent shall adjust the allocation of payments hereunder to ensure that a Defaulting Lender does not receive payment in respect of any Loan 59 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] or LC Disbursement that it did not fund or to reflect any of the actions or adjustments referred to in this Section 2.21. (b) So long as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit, unless, in each case, it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the applicable Borrower in accordance with Section 2.21(a), and participating interests in any such newly made Swingline Loan or newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.21(a)(iii) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). (c) If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the parent company of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank shall have a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make any Swingline Loan and such Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the applicable Borrower or such Lender reasonably satisfactory to the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to mitigate the risk to it in respect of such Lender failing to satisfy its participating interest therein. (d) In the event that the Administrative Agent, each Borrower, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank shall agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans and such funded participations in Swingline Loans and LC Disbursements of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold the Revolving Loans and such participations in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, whereupon such Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender (but shall not be entitled to receive any fees ceasing to accrue or which were reallocated during the period when it was a Defaulting Lender as set forth in this Section 2.21 and all amendments, waivers or other modifications effected without its consent in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.2 and this Section 2.21 during such period shall be binding on it), and all cash collateral then being held pursuant to Section 2.21(a)(v) in connection with the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be released and returned to the applicable Borrower. (e) Except as expressly provided in this Section 2.21 in connection with the obligations of the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks, the obligation of each Lender and Issuing Bank to fund the full amount of its Commitment and to make Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder shall not be released or diminished in any respect by any other Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender. 60 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] (f) None of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.21 shall be deemed to effect, diminish or release any rights, claims or causes of action the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Banks or any Non-Defaulting Lender may have against any Lender that becomes a Defaulting Lender. 2.22. Commitment Increases. (a) The Borrowers may from time to time (and more than one time), by written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), executed by the Borrowers and one or more financial institutions (any such financial institution referred to in this Section being called an “Augmenting Lender”), which may include any Lender, cause new Commitments to be extended by the Augmenting Lenders or cause the existing Commitments of the Augmenting Lenders to be increased, as the case may be (the aggregate amount of such increase for all Augmenting Lenders on any single occasion being referred to as a “Commitment Increase”), in an amount for each Augmenting Lender set forth in such notice; provided that (i) the amount of each Commitment Increase shall be not less than $10,000,000, except to the extent necessary to utilize the remaining unused amount of increase permitted under this Section 2.22(a) and (ii) the Aggregate Commitment shall not exceed $1,300,000,000 after giving effect to the effectiveness of any Commitment Increase. The decision of any Lender to become an Augmenting Lender shall be at the sole discretion of such Lender. Each Augmenting Lender (other than an existing Lender) shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and shall not be subject to the approval of any other Lenders, and the Borrowers and each Augmenting Lender shall execute all such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Commitment of such Augmenting Lender and/or its status as a Lender hereunder (such documentation in respect of any Commitment Increase together with the notice of such Commitment Increase being referred to collectively as the “Commitment Increase Amendment” in respect of such Commitment Increase). (b) Upon each Commitment Increase pursuant to this Section, (i) each Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Augmenting Lender providing a portion of such Commitment Increase, and each such Augmenting Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit such that, after giving effect to such Commitment Increase and each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations hereunder in Letters of Credit held by each Lender (including each such Augmenting Lender) will (subject to Section 2.21) equal such Lender’s Pro Rata Share and (ii) if, on the date of such Commitment Increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding, the parties hereto shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, take actions agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Company that will result, within a period acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Company, in the outstanding Revolving Loans being held by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their Commitments. In determining the actions to be taken (which may include the prepayment and reborrowing of all or a portion of such Revolving Loans and/or the making of Revolving Loans on a non-pro-rata basis by Augmenting Lenders for the balance of Interest 61 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] Periods in progress and at rates reflecting the Adjusted LIBO Rate at the time for loans of such duration), the Administrative Agent and the Lenders will endeavor to minimize breakage costs for which the Borrowers must compensate the Lenders to the extent practicable without undue complexity or administrative burdens on the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree 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 the immediately preceding sentence. (c) Commitment Increases and new Commitments created pursuant to this Section 2.22 shall become effective on the date specified in the notice delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to the first sentence of paragraph (a) above or on such other date as agreed upon by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Augmenting Lenders. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Commitments (or in any Commitment of any Lender) or addition of an Augmenting Lender shall become effective under this Section unless (i) on the date of such increase, the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 (it being understood and agreed that (A) all references to the “Credit Extension Date” therein shall be deemed to refer to the date of such Commitment Increase, (B) all references to a “Credit Extension” therein shall be deemed to refer to such Commitment Increase and (C) all references to the “Restatement Effective Date” in (x) Section 4.2(b) as it relates to Sections 5.5, 5.7 and 5.11 and (y) Sections 5.5, 5.7 and 5.11 shall be deemed to refer to the date of such Commitment Increase for purposes of determining satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 as of such date) shall be satisfied as of such date and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by an Authorized Officer of the Company, and (ii) the actions referred to in paragraph (b)(ii) of this Section 2.22 shall have been agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Company (provided, however, that the prepayment and reborrowing on the date of such Commitment Increase of all Revolving Loans then outstanding shall be deemed to satisfy the condition specified in this clause (ii)). In connection with any Commitment Increase under this Section 2.22, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may, without the consent of any Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.22. 62 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]]

2.23. Telephonic Notices. Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Administrative Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of such Borrower, it being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to allow borrowing, conversion and continuation notices initially to be given telephonically. Each Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written notice as otherwise required hereunder to confirm each such telephonic notice. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error. ARTICLE III YIELD PROTECTION; TAXES 3.1. Yield Protection. If any Change in Law: (a) subjects any Recipient to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitment or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or (b) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Bank, or (c) imposes on any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any applicable Lending Installation or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or such Lending Installation or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lending Installation of making, issuing, converting to, continuing or maintaining its Commitment, any Loan or Letter of Credit (or any obligation to make any Loan or to issue any Letter of Credit) or any participation therein or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lending Installation hereunder, then, within 15 days after the submission of the written statement required by Section 3.6 by the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lending Installation (and otherwise subject to the terms of Section 3.6), the Borrowers shall pay the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lending Installation such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it for such increased cost or reduction in amount received. 3.2. Changes in Capital Adequacy and Liquidity Requirements. If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has had or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s 63 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Swingline Loans or 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 Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then, within 15 days after the submission of the written statement required by Section 3.6 by such Lender or Issuing Bank (and otherwise subject to the terms of Section 3.6), the Borrowers shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank the amount applicable to such Borrower necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 3.3. Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) If Subject to Section 3.3(b), if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Advance: (i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period (including because the applicable LIBO Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for such Interest Period; provided that, no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time; or (ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively determined by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Advance for such Interest Period; then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof (which may be by telephone, if promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrowers and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any affected LIBOR Advances requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Advances, (B) any ABR Advances that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to the affected LIBOR Advances shall be continued as ABR Advances, (C) any outstanding affected LIBOR Advances shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Advances and (D) no further LIBOR Advances for such Interest Period shall be made or continued as such, nor shall any Borrower have the right to convert ABR Advances to such LIBOR Advances. (b) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence ofif a Benchmark Transition Event or, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend this Agreement toand its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the 64 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other 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 (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace the LIBO Rate with asuch Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment withfor all purposes hereunder and under any other Loan Document in respect to aof any Benchmark Transition Event will become effectivesetting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such proposed amendmentBenchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders; provided that, with respect to any proposed amendment containing any SOFR-Based Rate, the Lenders. (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any other 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; provided that this clause (ii) shall not be entitled to object only to the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment contained therein. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective onunless the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders haveAdministrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrowers a Term SOFR Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent written notice that such Lenders consent to such amendment. No replacement of LIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement will occur prior to the applicable Benchmarkshall not be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after a Term SOFR Transition Start DateEvent and may do so in its sole discretion. (iii) (ii) In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that the Administrative Agent shall post any such amendment implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes to the Lenders 65 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective or any other Loan Document. (iv) (iii) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Early Opt-inOther Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and, (D) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (v) below and (E) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. (iv) Upon the receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (A) the applicable Borrower may revoke any pending Borrowing Notice requesting a LIBOR Advance but, if not so timely revoked, such requested LIBOR Advance shall be made as an ABR Advance, (B) any ABR Advances that were to have been converted to LIBOR Advances shall be continued as ABR Advances, (C) any outstanding LIBOR Advances shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Advances and (D) no further LIBOR Advances shall be made or continued as such, nor shall any Borrower have the right to convert ABR Advances to LIBOR Advances.(v) Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative AgentsAgent or the, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.3, 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 heretoto this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.3; with the Administrative Agent agreeing with each Borrower that any determination, decision or election made by the Administrative Agent in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement will be made in the manner that is consistent with its general practices under similar circumstances in respect of similarly situated borrowers under credit agreements that include language similar to that contained in this Section 3.3(b). (v) 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), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or LIBO Rate) and either (1) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (2) 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 66 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]]

or will be no longer representative, then the 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 (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (1) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (2) 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 Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor. (vi) Upon the Borrowers’ receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, each Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, such Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will be deemed to be zero. If the Borrowers reasonably request that the Administrative Agent take an action that the Borrowers certify is necessary to avoid material adverse tax consequences to the Borrowers arising from the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement otherwise being treated as a “significant modification” (therefor an exchange) of any Loan for U.S. Federal income tax consequences, the Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonably efforts to take such action; provided however that nothing in this Section 3.3 shall require the Administrative Agent to make any determination relating to Taxes. 3.4. Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a LIBOR Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a LIBOR Advance is not made or continued or an ABR Advance is not converted into a LIBOR Advance on the date specified by the applicable Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, a LIBOR Advance is not prepaid on the date specified by such Borrower for any reason, or a LIBOR Advance is prepaid by such Borrower without such Borrower providing at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent for any reason, such Borrower will severally, and not jointly with the other Borrower, indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by such Lender resulting therefrom, including any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain such LIBOR Advance as determined by such Lender (if and to the extent such Lender, in its sole discretion, elects to impose such a charge). Such loss or cost to any Lender in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain any such LIBOR Advance shall be an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan (but not including the Applicable Margin applicable 67 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] thereto), 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 (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit at the commencement of such period for a comparable period with leading banks in the London interbank eurodollar market. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Defaulting Lender required to assign its Loans pursuant to Section 2.19 shall not be entitled to compensation under this Section 3.4 in connection with any such assignment. 3.5. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of each Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by each Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by either Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.5, such Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. (b) The Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes. (c) The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 20 days after written demand therefor (in each case setting forth the basis therefor and the manner of determination thereof), for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.5) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to either Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 20 days after written demand therefor (in each case setting forth the basis therefor and the manner of determination thereof), for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the 68 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.1(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.5(d). (e) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times set forth herein or as are reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 3.5(e)(ii)(A), 3.5(e)(ii)(B) and 3.5(e)(ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that either Borrower is a U.S. Person: (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter as set forth herein or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originalscopies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; (B) any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter as set forth 69 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] herein or upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: (1) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originalscopies 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 originalscopies of IRS Form W-8ECI; (3) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Non-U.S. 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 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originalscopies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or (4) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originalscopies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; (C) any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to each Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter as set forth herein or upon the reasonable request of either Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originalscopies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply 70 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]]

with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to each Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by either Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by either Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Restatement Effective Date. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. (f) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund or credit in lieu of a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.5 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.5), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund or credit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.5 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or credit). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 3.5(f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.5(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3.5(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund or credit had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund or credit had never been paid. This Section 3.5(f) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. (g) Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.5 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 71 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] (h) For purposes of this Section 3.5, (i) the term “Lender” includes any applicable Lending Installation and any Issuing Bank and (ii) the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. (i) For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i). 3.6. Statements as to Claims; Survival of Indemnity. The Administrative Agent, each Lender or each Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall deliver a written statement to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to each amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5. Such written statement shall set forth an explanation in reasonable detail of the manner in which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on such Borrower in the absence of manifest error, and upon the reasonable request of such Borrower, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly provide supporting documentation describing and/or evidencing the applicable event giving rise to such amount to the extent not inconsistent with such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies or applicable law. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a LIBOR Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its LIBOR Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type, currency and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the LIBO Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not.

The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article X. Notwithstanding the use of the term “agent”, herein or in any other Loan Documents, it is expressly understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender or any Issuing Bank by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and that the Administrative Agent is merely acting as the contractual representative of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In its capacity as the Lenders’ and the Issuing Banks’ contractual representative, the Administrative Agent (i) does not hereby assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, (ii) is a “representative” of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the New York Uniform Commercial Code and (iii) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Powers. The Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

No Responsibility for Loans, Recitals, etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties (it being understood that nothing in this sentence shall affect any responsibilities or duties hereunder of JPMorgan in its capacity as a Lender) shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any Credit Extension hereunder or the content of any certificate or other document delivered under or in connection with any Loan Document; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document, including any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to each Lender and each Issuing Bank; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV, except receipt of items required to be delivered solely to the Administrative Agent; (d) the existence or possible existence of any Default or Unmatured Default; (e) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (f) the value, sufficiency, creation, perfection or priority of any Lien in any collateral security; or (g) the financial condition of the Borrowers or any guarantor of any of the Obligations or of any of the Borrowers’ or any such guarantor’s respective subsidiaries. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Borrower or any of its subsidiaries or other Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability arising from, or be responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered on account of, any determination by the Administrative Agent that any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or the effective date of such status, it being further understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation to determine whether any Lender is a Defaulting Lender. 10.5. Action on Instructions of Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents), and such consent or request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank. The Lenders and each Issuing Bank hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except discretionary actions expressly contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document that the Administrative Agent is required to take as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents). The Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document that, in its opinion, could expose the Administrative Agent to liability or be contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, rule or regulation, and the Administrative Agent 104 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction in writing by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. 10.6. Employment of Sub-Agents. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Administrative Agent is entitled under Articles IX and X shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents. 10.7. Reliance on Documents; Counsel. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof). The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and reasonably believed by it to be made by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being maker thereof), and may act upon any such statement prior to receipt of written confirmation thereof. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension or amendment of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank sufficiently in advance to the making of such Loan or the issuance, extension or amendment of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Borrower or an employee of the Administrative Agent), 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. 10.8. Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties, severally and not jointly, ratably in proportion to the their Pro Rata Shares of the Aggregate Commitment (or, if the Aggregate Commitment has been terminated, of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure) (determined as of the date of any such request by the Administrative Agent), (a) for any amounts 105 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] not reimbursed by the Borrowers for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents in its capacity as Administrative Agent, (b) to the extent not paid by the Borrowers, for any other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents (including for any expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders or Issuing Banks) and (c) to the extent not paid by the Borrowers, for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders or Issuing Banks), or the enforcement of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or of any such other documents, provided that (i) no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, (ii) any indemnification required pursuant to Section 3.5(d) shall, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10.8, be paid by the relevant Lender in accordance with the provisions thereof and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall reimburse the Lenders for any amounts the Lenders have paid to the extent such amounts are subsequently recovered from the Borrowers. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.8 shall survive payment of the Obligations, termination and expiration of the Letters of Credit and termination of this Agreement. 10.9. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Unmatured Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks. 10.10. Rights as a Lender. In the event the Administrative Agent is a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document with respect to its Commitment and its Credit Extensions as any Lender or any Issuing Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” or “Issuing Bank” shall, at any time when the Administrative Agent is a Lender or an Issuing Bank, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with each Borrower or any of its Affiliates and without any duty to account therefor 106 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]]

to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks. The Administrative Agent, in its individual capacity, is not obligated to remain a Lender. 10.11. Independent Credit Decision. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any other Lender or any other Issuing Bank, and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrowers and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any other Lender or any other Issuing Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or a Commitment Increase Amendment, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Restatement Effective Date. 10.12. Erroneous Payments. (a) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby agrees that (i) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender or such Issuing Bank that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender or such Issuing Bank from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender or such Issuing Bank (whether or not known to such Lender or such Issuing Bank), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or any Issuing Bank under this Section 10.12 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. (b) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (i) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (ii) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on 107 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. (c) The Borrowers hereby agree that (i) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender or any Issuing Bank that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender or such Issuing Bank with respect to such amount and (ii) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) shall not apply to the extent that such erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers for the purpose of making such erroneous Payment. (d) Each party’s obligations under this Section 10.12 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 10.13. 10.12. Bankruptcy Event. In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Borrower under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any LC Disbursement shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Exposure and all other 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 and the Administrative Agents (including any claim under Sections 2.7, 2.11, 2.12, 3.1, 3.2, 3.5 and 9.6) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 108 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as an Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 9.6). 10.14. 10.13. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrowers, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent or, if no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, 45 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intention to resign. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders, with the consent of the Borrowers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided that such consent shall not be required in the event and continuation of a Default), shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders or consented to by the Borrowers within 30 days after the resigning Administrative Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent has resigned and no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, the Required Lenders may perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and the Borrowers shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations to the applicable Lenders and Issuing Banks and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders and Issuing Banks. If the Administrative Agent has resigned and, at such time, holds cash collateral under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such cash collateral for the benefit of the Lenders and the applicable Issuing Banks until a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed. No successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Administrative Agent has accepted the appointment. Unless otherwise agreed by the Company, any such successor Administrative Agent shall be a Lender or, if no Lender will accept such appointment, a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $1,000,000,000 (or such lower amount as shall be acceptable to the Company). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the resigning Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X and Sections 3.1, 3.5 and 9.6, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan 109 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] Documents and in respect of any cash collateral held by the Administrative Agent as described above. 10.15. 10.14. Administrative Agent and Arrangers Fees. Each Borrower severally and not jointly agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and each Arranger, for their respective accounts, the agent and arrangers fees separately agreed to by such Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Arranger pursuant to and in accordance with those certain fee letters dated as of November 9, 2019 and as otherwise mutually agreed to in writing from time to time. 10.16. 10.15. Delegation to Affiliates. The Borrowers, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks agree that the Administrative Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates (it being agreed that the Administrative Agent will remain responsible for the performance of all such duties). Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s Related Parties) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Administrative Agent is entitled under Articles IX and X. 10.17. 10.16. Joint Arrangers, Joint Bookrunners, Syndication Agents and Documentation Agents. The Persons identified in this Agreement as “Joint Arrangers”, “Joint Bookrunners”, “Syndication Agents” and “Documentation Agents”, in such capacities, shall have no obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement, but shall have the benefit of the indemnification, reimbursement, waiver and other protective provisions to which they are expressed to be entitled under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, such Persons, in such capacities, shall not have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any other Person. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgements with respect to such Persons as it makes with respect to the Administrative Agent in Section 10.11. ARTICLE XI SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS 11.1. Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks under applicable law, if any Borrower becomes insolvent or any payment Default pursuant to Section 7.2 occurs with respect to a Borrower, or any other Default with respect to a Borrower shall occur and be continuing and the Required Lenders shall have terminated any Commitments as to such Borrower or accelerated the maturity of any Loans to such Borrower, then any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to or for the credit or account of such Borrower may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing by such Borrower to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, whether or not the Obligations, or any part thereof, shall then be due. Promptly upon the exercise of its right of setoff hereunder, each Lender and Issuing Bank shall deliver written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall make such notice available to the other Lenders and Issuing Banks. 110 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]]

11.2. Ratable Payments. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the amount of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amounts of principal of and accrued interest on their Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and 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 Section shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by either Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to either Borrower or any subsidiary or any other Affiliate of any of the foregoing (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. ARTICLE XII BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS 12.1. 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 assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank (and any attempted assignment or transfer by either 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 this Section. (b) Assignments. (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Lenders, Affiliates of Lenders, Approved Funds or other Persons, other than, in each case, a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person), a Defaulting Lender, a Borrower or a subsidiary or 111 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] other Affiliate of a Borrower (any such permitted assignee being called an “Eligible Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, it being understood that it would not be unreasonable for a Borrower to withhold consent to an assignment of all or a portion of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement to a Person that is not engaged in making commercial revolving loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business) of: (A) each Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrowers shall be required (1) for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund and (2) if a Default has occurred and is continuing, for any other assignment; provided further, that each Borrower will be deemed to have consented to an assignment if it does not respond to a written request for a consent thereto within 10 Business Days after actual receipt of such request; (B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; (C) in the case of an assignment of a Commitment or any Swingline Exposure, the Swingline Lender; and (D) in the case of an assignment of a Commitment or any LC Exposure, each Issuing Bank. (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of the Borrowers shall be required if a Default has occurred and is continuing; provided further, that each Borrower will be deemed to have consented to an assignment if it does not respond to a written request for a consent thereto within 10 Business Days after actual receipt of such request; (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; 112 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain MNPI) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, state and foreign securities laws. (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Article III and Section 9.6). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.1 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such Lender’s rights or obligations as provided in Section 12.1(c). (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by either Borrower and, as to entries pertaining to it, any Issuing Bank or Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Register is intended to cause the Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or other obligations to be in registered form within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2), and 881(c)(2) of the Code and Sections 5f.103-1(c) and 1.871-14(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative 113 [[5255548v.18]][[5727045]] Questionnaire and any tax forms required by Section 3.5(e) (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption 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. Each assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the assigning Lender and the Administrative Agent that such assignee is an Eligible Assignee. (c) Participations. (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of either Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (“Participants”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment 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 Borrowers, the Administrative 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 a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the proviso to Section 8.2 that affects such Participant or requires the approval of all of the Lenders or all of the affected Lenders. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article III to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.1 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 11.2 as though it were a Lender. (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent.

the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.5 as though it were a Lender.

The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of any Loan Document notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. The Participant Register is intended to cause the applicable Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation to be in registered form within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2), and 881(c)(2) of the Code and Sections 5f.103-1(c) and 1.871-14(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority, and this Section 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 a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

[[5738317]] books, over the original cost, as determined or approved by the regulatory commission having jurisdiction thereof, of used and useful electric and gas utility plant and property, unless (a) such excess is being amortized or provided for by reserves, or (b) such excess has been held, by final order of a court having jurisdiction or of the regulatory bodies having jurisdiction, to constitute an asset which need not be amortized or provided for by reserves, and (ii) any amount by which the aggregate amount payable, on the involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of Ameren Illinois Company, in respect of all outstanding shares of stock of Ameren Illinois Company having a preference as to dividends over the Common Stock exceeds the aggregate par or stated value of such outstanding shares, unless such excess is being amortized, or provided for by reserves, and (iii) any items such as debt discount, premium and expense, capital stock discount and expense and similar items, classified as assets on the balance sheet of Ameren Illinois Company, unless such items are being amortized, or provided for by reserves or unless and to the extent that such items are not required to be written off or amortized by the uniform systems of accounts applicable thereto prescribed by the regulatory bodies having jurisdiction. The “total capital of Ameren Illinois Company” shall consist of the sum of (i) the principal amount of all outstanding indebtedness of Ameren Illinois Company maturing one year or more after the date of the issue thereof and (ii) the par or stated value of all outstanding capital stock (which shall include premiums on capital stock) of all classes of Ameren Illinois Company, and (iii) all surplus accounts of Ameren Illinois Company. The “net income of Ameren Illinois Company available for dividends on its Common Stock” for any period shall be determined by deducting from the sum of the operating revenues and income from investments and other miscellaneous income for such period, all operating expenses for such period, including maintenance and provision for depreciation as recorded on the books of Ameren Illinois Company (but not less than an amount equal to 15% of the gross operating revenues of Ameren Illinois Company less the cost of electric energy and gas purchased for resale, during such period), income and excess profits and other taxes, all proper accruals, interest charges, amortization charges, other proper income deductions and an amount equal to the dividend requirements for such period on all outstanding shares of stock of Ameren Illinois Company having a preference as to dividends over the Common Stock, all as shall be determined in accordance with such systems of accounts as may be prescribed by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction in the premises or, in the absence thereof, in accordance with sound accounting practices. All indebtedness and capital stock of Ameren Illinois Company owned by Ameren Illinois Company shall be excluded in determining total capital. Purchases or other acquisitions of Common Stock shall be deemed, for the purposes of this paragraph, to constitute a common stock dividend declared as of the date on which such purchases or acquisitions are consummated.
