55

Investment, Restricted Payment or Restricted Debt Payment (or, in each case, all or any portion thereof) that was previously made under any basket other than a “ratio-based” basket as having been made under the “ratio-based” basket set forth in such Section if such Investment, Restricted Payment or Restricted Debt Payment (or, in each case, such portion thereof) would, using the figures as of the end of or for the most recently ended Test Period, be permitted under the “ratio-based” basket set forth in such Section.

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 any interest rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, 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 existing interest rate being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did any existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and/or other related Persons may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to any Borrower.

In the case of any consent or direction by Lenders in respect of any Specified Provision of which a Restricted Lender does not have the benefit due to a Blocking Law, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the definition of Required Lenders or Majority in Interest, for so long as such Restricted Lender shall be subject to a Blocking Law, the Commitments, Term Loans and Revolving Credit Exposure of such

56

Restricted Lender will be disregarded for the purpose of determining whether the requisite consent of the Lenders has been obtained or direction by the requisite Lenders has been made, it being agreed, however, that, unless, in connection with any such determination, the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from any Lender stating that such Lender is a Restricted Lender with respect thereto, each Lender shall be presumed, in connection with such determination, not to be a Restricted Lender.

ARTICLE II

THE CREDITS

SECTION 2.01. Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (a) each Revolving Lender agrees to make revolving loans (each, a “Revolving Loan”) to any Borrower in any Agreed Currency from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment or (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and (b) each Tranche A Term Lender agrees to make a term loan (each, a “Tranche A Term Loan”) to the Company in US Dollars on the Availability Date in a principal amount not exceeding such Lender’s Tranche A Term Commitment. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans. Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of the Tranche A Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

SECTION 2.02. Loans and Borrowings. (a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

57

(b) Subject to Section 2.13, each Borrowing shall be comprised of (i) in the case of Term Borrowings or Revolving Borrowings denominated in US Dollars, Term SOFR Loans or ABR Loans, as the applicable Borrower may request in accordance herewith, (ii) in the case of Revolving Borrowings denominated in Canadian Dollars, CDOR Loans, (iii) in the case of Revolving Borrowings denominated in Euro, EURIBOR Loans and (iv) in the case of Revolving Borrowings denominated in Pounds Sterling, SONIA Loans. Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan (and in the case of an Affiliate, the provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 shall apply to such Affiliate to the same extent as to such Lender); provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Term Benchmark Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum; provided that (i) any Term Benchmark Borrowing that results from a continuation of an outstanding Term Benchmark Borrowing may be in aggregate amount that is equal to such outstanding Borrowing and (ii) a Term Benchmark Borrowing of any Class may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of total Commitments of such Class or, in the case of any Revolving Borrowing, that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e). At the time that each ABR Borrowing or RFR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum; provided that any ABR Borrowing or RFR Borrowing of any Class may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments of such Class or, in the case of any Revolving Borrowing, that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e). Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of ten Term Benchmark Borrowings and RFR Borrowings outstanding.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Borrower shall be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Term Benchmark Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date applicable to such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.03. Requests for Borrowings. To request a borrowing of Revolving Loans or Term Loans, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by delivering to the Administrative Agent a written Borrowing Request, executed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower, (a) in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in US Dollars, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the date of such proposed Borrowing, (b) in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Euro or Canadian Dollars, not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, four Business Days before the date of such proposed Borrowing, (c) in the case of an RFR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, five RFR Business Days before the date of such proposed Borrowing and (d) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of such proposed Borrowing (or, in each case, such later date or time as the Administrative Agent may agree to). Each Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable. Each Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

58

(i) the Agreed Currency and the aggregate principal amount of the requested Borrowing;

(ii) the Class of such Borrowing;

(iii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(iv) the Type of such Borrowing;

(v) in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and

(vi) the location and number of the account to which funds are to be disbursed (which, if not an account of the applicable Borrower located in the United States, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) or, in the case of any Revolving Borrowing requested to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e), the identity of the Issuing Bank that made such LC Disbursement.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be (A) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in US Dollars, an ABR Borrowing and (B) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency, a Borrowing of such Type as is permitted for such a Foreign Currency under Section 2.02(b). If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Term Benchmark Borrowing, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. If no election as to currency is specified with respect to any Borrowing, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected US Dollars. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the applicable Class of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., New York City time (or, in the case of ABR Loans, if later, the time that is two hours after the delivery to the Administrative Agent of the applicable Borrowing Request), to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the account designated by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the applicable Overnight Rate or (ii) in the case of a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the subject Loan. If any such amount required to be paid by any Lender is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent within three Business Days following the date upon which such Lender receives notice from the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover from such Lender, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate set forth in clause (i) above plus 2% per annum. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then such amount (exclusive of interest paid by such Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.04(b)) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan

59

included in such Borrowing. If the applicable Borrower and the applicable Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. Any payment by any Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.05. Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit denominated in any Agreed Currency for its own account or, so long as such Borrower is a joint and several co-applicant with respect thereto, for the account of a Restricted Subsidiary in a form reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period; provided that, notwithstanding any such request or anything else to the contrary set forth herein, any issuance, amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit by any Issuing Bank shall be in sole discretion (and without any obligation) of such Issuing Bank. In the event of any conflict 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 any Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, or entered into by any Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with, any Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed, for all purposes of this Agreement (including paragraphs (d) and (e) of this Section) and the other Loan Documents, to be a Letter of Credit issued hereunder. A Letter of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank will only be, unless otherwise agreed by such Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, a standby 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 pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.05)), a Borrower shall email (or transmit by other 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 2.05), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the Agreed Currency applicable thereto, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be reasonably necessary to prepare, amend or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by any 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 total LC Exposure will not exceed US$50,000,000, (ii) the portion of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank will not exceed the Applicable LC Sublimit of such Issuing Bank (unless otherwise agreed by such Issuing Bank in its sole discretion), (iii) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and (iv) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Revolving Lender shall not exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Lender.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date that is 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 Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date; 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 set forth in clause (ii) above), 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.

60

(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 any Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the applicable Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage 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 Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit, the occurrence and continuance of a Default, the reduction or termination of the Revolving 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 ISP 98 or any successor publication of the International Chamber of Commerce) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the expiration thereof or of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving 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 Borrowers deemed made pursuant to Section 4.03, unless, at least one Business Day prior to the time such Letter of Credit is issued, amended or extended (or, in the case of an automatic extension permitted pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, at least one Business Day prior to the time by which the election not to extend must be made by the applicable Issuing Bank), the Administrative Agent or the Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders shall have notified the applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in writing that, as a result of one or more events or circumstances described in such notice, one or more of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.03(a) or 4.03(b) would not be satisfied if such Letter of Credit were then issued, amended or extended (it being understood and agreed that, in the event any Issuing Bank shall have received any such notice, no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit until and unless it shall be satisfied that the events and circumstances described in such notice shall have been cured or otherwise shall have ceased to exist).

(e) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent (x) in the case of any LC Disbursement in US Dollars, in US Dollars the amount of such LC Disbursement and (y) in the case of any LC Disbursement in any Foreign Currency, in US Dollars an amount equal to the US Dollar Equivalent (for this purpose, calculated based on the Exchange Rate as of the date such Issuing Bank made such LC Disbursement, with the Exchange Rate to be determined based on the rate of exchange for the purchase of such Foreign Currency with US Dollars) of such LC Disbursement (or if such Issuing Bank shall so elect in its sole discretion by notice to such Borrower, in such Foreign Currency the amount of such LC Disbursement), in each case, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City 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 City 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 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that such Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that such Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day

61

of receipt; provided that such Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with (A) to the extent such LC Disbursement was made in US Dollars, an ABR Revolving Borrowing in an amount equal to such LC Disbursement or (B) to the extent such LC Disbursement was made in a Foreign Currency, a Term Benchmark Revolving Borrowing or an RFR Revolving Borrowing, as applicable, in such Foreign Currency in an amount equal to such LC Disbursement and, in each case, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Borrowing. If the applicable Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof (and the currency thereof) and such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, in the applicable Agreed Currency, its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from such Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.04 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.04 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this paragraph), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the applicable Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Revolving Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. If any Borrower’s reimbursement of, or obligation to reimburse, any LC Disbursement denominated in a Foreign Currency would subject the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to any stamp duty, ad valorem charge or similar Tax that would not be payable if such reimbursement were made or required to be made in US Dollars, such Borrower shall, at its option, either (1) pay the amount of any such Tax requested by the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or the applicable Lender or (2) reimburse such LC Disbursement made in such Foreign Currency in US Dollars in an amount calculated as set forth in clause (y) above.

(f) Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (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 the applicable 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 ISP 98 or any successor publication of the International Chamber of Commerce) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the stated expiration date thereof or of the Revolving Commitments, (v) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the applicable Foreign Currency to such Borrower or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally or (vi) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.05(f), 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, 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

62

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 excuse the applicable Issuing Bank from liability to the applicable 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 failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of a court of competent jurisdiction determining, in a final and nonappealable judgment, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Bank, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, within the time allowed by applicable law or the specific terms of a Letter of Credit following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit, and such Issuing Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower by telephone (confirmed by email) of such demand for payment if such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that such notice need not be given prior to payment by such Issuing Bank and any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve such Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank for such LC Disbursement and shall not relieve the Revolving Lenders of their obligations with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrower 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 such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that such Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans (or in the event such LC Disbursement is denominated in a Foreign Currency, at the Overnight Rate for such Foreign Currency plus the then effective Applicable Rate with respect to Term Benchmark Revolving Loans or RFR Revolving Loans, as applicable, denominated in such Foreign Currency), and such interest shall be due and payable on the date when such reimbursement is payable; provided that, if such Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.12(f) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.11(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all

63

previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit then outstanding and issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to amend or extend any Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If (i) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing or (ii) on the date five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding, then, in either case, on the Business Day that a Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure 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 Revolving Lenders, an amount in US Dollars equal to the LC Exposure (or, in the case of clause (ii) above, 103% of the LC Exposure) attributable to any Letters of Credit issued for its account as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that (A) the portions of such amount attributable to Letters of Credit or LC Disbursements denominated in any Foreign Currency shall be made in such Foreign Currency and (B) the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower described in Section 7.01(h), 7.01(i) or 7.01(j). The Borrowers also shall deposit cash collateral in accordance with this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.10(b)(iii) or 2.23. Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Loan Document Obligations. 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 upon the request of the applicable Borrower and at the applicable 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, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other the Loan Document, be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the applicable Borrower for the LC Exposure attributable to any Letters of Credit issued for its account at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to (x) the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure and (y) in the case of any such application at a time when any Revolving 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), be applied to satisfy other Loan Document Obligations). If any Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid), together with interest or profits, if any, earned upon the investment of such amount, shall be returned to such Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived and the Administrative Agent shall have received a written notice from the Company to that effect. If any Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(iii), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment and no Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If any Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.23, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower as promptly as practicable to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, no Issuing Bank shall have any exposure in respect of any outstanding Letter of Credit that is not fully covered by the Revolving Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders and/or the remaining cash collateral and no Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

64

(k) Letters of Credit Issued for Restricted Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder supports any obligations of, or is for the account of, any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Borrower, or states that any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Borrower 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 Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower that requested the issuance of such Letter of Credit (i) shall reimburse, indemnify and compensate the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for such Letter of Credit (including to reimburse any and all drawings thereunder) as if such Letter of Credit had been issued solely for the account of such Borrower and (ii) irrevocably waives any and all defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of any or all of the obligations of such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of such Letters of Credit for the Restricted Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of such Borrower, and that such Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of the Restricted Subsidiaries.

(l) LC Exposure Determination. For all purposes of this Agreement, (i) unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of any Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the US Dollar Equivalent of the stated amount of such Letter of Credit available to be drawn at such time; provided that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms, provides for one or more automatic increases in the available amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the US Dollar Equivalent of the maximum amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum amount is available to be drawn at such time, 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 International Standby Practices, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590 (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the applicable time) or similar terms in the governing rules or laws or 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 Borrowers and the Revolving Lenders shall remain in full force and effect until the applicable Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders shall have no further obligations to make any payments or disbursements under any circumstances with respect to any Letter of Credit.

(m) Issuing Bank Reports to the Administrative Agent. Each Issuing Bank shall advise the Administrative Agent of the issuance, amendment or expiration of any Letter of Credit and of any payment thereunder as of the end of each calendar month, and each Issuing Bank shall also report to the Administrative Agent such other information with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

SECTION 2.06. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request or as otherwise provided in Section 2.03. Thereafter, the applicable Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.06. A Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

65

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.06, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by delivering to the Administrative Agent a written Interest Election Request, executed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower, by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Agreed Currency and the principal amount of the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) the Type of the resulting Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which Interest Period shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, this Section 2.06 shall not be construed to permit any Borrower to (x) change the currency of any Borrowing, (y) elect an Interest Period for Term Benchmark Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(d) or (z) convert any Borrowing to a Borrowing of a Type not available for such Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02.

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

(d) If the applicable Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Term Benchmark Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period (i) in the case of a Revolving Borrowing denominated in US Dollars, such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing, (ii) in the case of a Term Borrowing, such Borrowing shall automatically continue as a Term Benchmark Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month and (iii) in the case of a Revolving Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency, such Borrowing shall automatically continue as a Term Benchmark Borrowing in the same Foreign Currency with an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and, other than in the case of an Event of Default under Section 7.01(h), 7.01(i) or 7.01(j) with respect to any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the applicable Borrower, then, so long as any Event of Default is continuing (A) no outstanding Borrowing denominated in US Dollars may be converted to or continued as a Term Benchmark Borrowing, (B) unless repaid, each Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in US Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (C) unless repaid, each Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency shall automatically be continued as a Term Benchmark Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month.

66

SECTION 2.07. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, (i) the Revolving Commitments shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Revolving Maturity Date and (ii) the Tranche A Term Commitments shall automatically terminate on the earlier of (A) immediately following the making of the Tranche A Term Loans on the Availability Date and (B) 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Availability Date. In addition, all the Commitments shall automatically terminate (x) on the date on which the Company, Crane Company or any of their respective subsidiaries shall have publicly announced the termination or abandonment of the Separation, (y) on the date of the consummation of the Crane Company Distribution (effective immediately after such consummation), unless the Availability Date occurred prior to, or occurs substantially concurrently with, the consummation of the Crane Company Distribution, and (z) unless the Availability Date shall have occurred prior to such date, on August 31, 2023.

(b) The Company may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each partial reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of US$1,000,000 and not less than US$5,000,000 and (ii) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments.

(c) The Company (on behalf of itself and the Borrowing Subsidiaries) shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments of any Class under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the applicable Class of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments of any Class delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the satisfaction of one or more conditions specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if any such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class then in effect shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class. No reduction of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall affect the ability of the Company to subsequently increase the Commitments in accordance with Section 2.21.

SECTION 2.08. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender made to such Borrower on the Revolving Maturity Date in the Agreed Currency of such Loan and (ii) in the case of the Company, to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Tranche A Term Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Tranche A Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.09. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, no Foreign Borrowing Subsidiary shall be liable hereunder for any of the Loans made to, or any other obligation incurred solely by or on behalf of, any Domestic Borrower.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the applicable Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Agreed Currency, Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable 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 and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

67

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section 2.08 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided further that, in the event of any inconsistency between records maintained by the Administrative Agent and any Lender’s records, the records of the Administrative Agent shall govern.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, each applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.09. Amortization of Term Loans. (a) The Company shall repay Tranche A Term Borrowings on the last day of each fiscal quarter, commencing with the last day of the first full fiscal quarter ending after the Availability Date, in an amount for each such day equal to (i) with respect to the last day of each of the first through fourth full fiscal quarters ending after the Availability Date, 0.625% of the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans made on the Availability Date and (ii) with respect to the last day of each subsequent full fiscal quarter ending after the Availability Date, 1.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans made on the Availability Date, each case as such amounts may be adjusted pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section.

(b) The Company shall repay Incremental Term Loans of any Class in such amounts and on such date or dates as shall be specified therefor in the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement establishing the Incremental Term Loans of such Class, as such amounts may be adjusted pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section or pursuant to such Incremental Facility Agreement.

(c) To the extent not previously paid, (i) all Tranche A Term Borrowings shall be due and payable on the Tranche A Term Maturity Date and (ii) all Incremental Term Loans of any Class shall be due and payable on the maturity date established therefor in the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement.

(d) Any prepayment of a Tranche A Term Borrowing shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Tranche A Term Borrowings to be made pursuant to this Section in direct order of maturity or as otherwise directed by the Company in the applicable notice of prepayment; provided that any prepayment of Tranche A Term Borrowings made pursuant to Section 2.10(b) shall be applied to reduce the next eight (8) subsequent scheduled repayments of the Tranche A Term Borrowings in direct order of maturity and then ratably to the remaining scheduled repayments based on the amount of such scheduled repayments. Any prepayment of Incremental Term Loans of any Class shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Term Loans of such Class to be made pursuant to this Section as shall be specified in the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement.

(e) If more than one Term Borrowing of the applicable Class shall then be outstanding, prior to any repayment of any Term Borrowings of any Class under this Section the applicable Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings of the applicable Class to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such selection. Each repayment of a Term Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Term Borrowing. Repayments of Term Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amounts repaid.

68

SECTION 2.10. Prepayment of Loans. (a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 2.10.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments. (i) In the event that the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives Net Proceeds in respect of any Prepayment Event described in clause (a) or (b) of the definition of such term, in each case, in excess of US$25,000,000 with respect to any such single Prepayment Event (or series of related Prepayment Events), the Company shall, not later than the third Business Day following the receipt thereof, apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds to prepay the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(b)(iv); provided that if prior to the date on which any such prepayment is required to be made, the Company notifies the Administrative Agent that the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries intend to reinvest such Net Proceeds in long-term assets used or useful in the business of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (including any reinvestment in the form of an Acquisition and, in the case of any Casualty/Condemnation Event, any repair or replacement of the relevant assets), then, so long as no Event of Default exists at the time of delivery of such notice, the Company shall not be required to make a prepayment under this Section 2.10(b)(i) in respect of such Net Proceeds, provided further, that, to the extent any such Net Proceeds have not been so reinvested within 12 months following receipt thereof (or, if the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has committed so to reinvest such Net Proceeds during such 12-month period, within 180 days after the expiration of such 12-month period) the Company shall promptly (and in any event no later than the third Business Day after the expiration of the applicable period) prepay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof (but without giving effect to this proviso) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of such Net Proceeds not so reinvested.

(ii) In the event that the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives Net Proceeds in respect of any Prepayment Event described in clause (c) of the definition of such term, the Company shall, promptly upon (and in any event not later than first Business Days after) the receipt of such Net Proceeds by the Company or its applicable Restricted Subsidiary, apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds to prepay the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(b)(iv).

(iii) If, at any time, other than as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay Revolving Borrowings or cash collateralize LC Exposure in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(j), as applicable, in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to cause the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure to be less than or equal to the Aggregate Revolving Commitments. If, at any time, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Commitments as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, then (A) if the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure does not exceed 105% of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, on the last day of any Interest Period for any Term Benchmark Revolving Borrowing, and on each other date on which any RFR Revolving Borrowing or any ABR Revolving Borrowing is outstanding, the Borrowers shall prepay the Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (x) the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Revolving Loans referred to above and (y) the amount sufficient to eliminate such excess and (B) if the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds 105% of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Borrowers shall immediately repay Revolving Borrowings or cash collateralize LC Exposure in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(j), as applicable, in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to cause the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure to be less than or equal to the Aggregate Revolving Commitments.

(iv) Each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be applied ratably to each Class of Term Loans then outstanding.

69

(v) Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.10(b)(i) to the contrary:

(A) the Company shall not be required to prepay any amount that would otherwise be required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i) to the extent that (as reasonably determined by the Company) the relevant Net Proceeds are received by any Restricted Subsidiary for so long as the repatriation to the Company of such Net Proceeds would or could reasonably be expected to be, in the reasonable determination of the Company, prohibited or delayed under any applicable law or conflict with the fiduciary duties of such Restricted Subsidiary’s directors, or result in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, personal or criminal liability for any officer, director, employee, manager or member of management of such Restricted Subsidiary (the Company hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Restricted Subsidiary to promptly take all commercially reasonable actions, for a period not to exceed 12 months from the date of the event giving rise to such repatriation, required by applicable law to permit such repatriation without such consequences (but without any requirement to incur fees or other expense (other than any de minimus fees or expenses))); it being understood that to the extent the repatriation of the relevant affected Net Proceeds is permitted under the applicable law and, to the extent applicable, would no longer conflict with the fiduciary duties of such director, or result in, or be reasonably expected to result in, personal or criminal liability for the Persons described above, in either case, within 12 months from the date of the event giving rise to such repatriation, the relevant Restricted Subsidiary will promptly repatriate the relevant Net Proceeds and the repatriated Net Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional Taxes payable or reserved against such Net Proceeds as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i) to the extent required therein (without regard to this clause (A)); and

(B) if the Company reasonably determines that the repatriation to the Company as a distribution or dividend of any Net Proceeds required to mandatorily prepay the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i) that are attributable to Restricted Subsidiaries would or could reasonably expect to result in adverse Tax consequences (other than immaterial adverse Tax consequences) (including any withholding Tax) to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (such amount, a “Restricted Amount”), the amount that the Company shall be required to mandatorily prepay pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i) shall be reduced by the Restricted Amount; it being understood that to the extent that the repatriation of the relevant Net Proceeds from the relevant Restricted Subsidiary would no longer have such adverse Tax consequence within 12 months from the date of the event giving rise to such repatriation, an amount equal to the Restricted Amount shall be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days after such repatriation) applied to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i) to the extent required therein (without regard to this clause (B)).

(c) Notice. The applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by email or telephone (confirmed in writing by email) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in US Dollars, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of such prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Euro or Canadian Dollars, not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, four Business Days before the date of such prepayment, (iii) in the case of prepayment of an RFR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, five RFR Business Days before the date of such prepayment or (iv) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of such prepayment (or, in the case of any mandatory prepayment, such later time as shall be practicable under the circumstances) or, in each case, such later date or time as the Administrative

70

Agent may agree. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify (in the case of any mandatory prepayment, in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.10(b)) the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that any such notice delivered by any Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the satisfaction of one or more conditions specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the applicable Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified prepayment date) if any such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the applicable Class of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Class and Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12.

SECTION 2.11. Fees. (a) The Company (on behalf of itself and the Borrowing Subsidiaries) agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, in US Dollars, for the account of each Revolving Lender, a commitment fee (the “Revolving Commitment Fee”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Availability Date to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates.

Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten (10) days after written demand therefor. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(e) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of Revolving Commitment Fees, participation fees and Ticking Fees, to the applicable Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances (except, in the case of demonstrable error in the calculation of such fees, the excess of the fees paid in respect of such erroneous calculation over the correctly calculated amount of such fees).

(g) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments (in the case of accrued interest on Revolving Loans) and at such other times as may be specified herein; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section 2.12 shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Term Benchmark Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

In each case interest shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All interest hereunder on any Loan shall be computed on a daily basis based upon the outstanding principal amount of such Loan as of the applicable date of determination. The applicable Adjusted Term SOFR, Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted EURIBO Rate, Adjusted CDO Rate and Daily Simple RFR shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.13. Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a) Subject to Section 2.13(b), if:

(i) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Term SOFR, the Adjusted EURIBO Rate or the Adjusted CDO Rate (including because the Relevant Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period or (B) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Daily Simple RFR for the applicable Agreed Currency; or

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

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders (which may be by telephone or electronic mail) as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the applicable Borrower delivers a new Interest Election Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.06 or a new Borrowing Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03, (A) in the case of Loans denominated in US Dollars, any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing and any Borrowing Request that requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be an Interest Election Request or a Borrowing Request, as applicable, for (1) an RFR Borrowing denominated in US Dollars so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 2.13(a)(i) or 2.13(a)(ii) or (2) an ABR Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 2.13(a)(i) or 2.13(a)(ii) and (B) in the case of Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency, any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing and any Borrowing Request that requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing or an RFR Borrowing, in each case, for the relevant Benchmark, shall be ineffective.

73

Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan in any Agreed Currency is outstanding on the date of the Company’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 2.13(a) with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the applicable Borrower delivers a new Interest Election Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.06 or a new Borrowing Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03, (A) in the case of Loans denominated in US Dollars, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan convert to, and shall constitute, (x) an RFR Borrowing denominated in US Dollars so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 2.13(a)(i) or 2.13(a)(ii) or (y) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 2.13(a)(i) or 2.13(a)(ii) on such day and (B) in the case of Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, convert to, and shall constitute, a CBR Loan that bears interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Foreign Currency plus the CBR Spread, and (2) any RFR Loan shall convert to, and shall constitute, a CBR Loan that bears interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Foreign Currency plus the CBR Spread; provided that if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Foreign Currency cannot be determined, any such affected Loan shall be prepaid in full by the applicable Borrower on the day that the Company receives notice thereof from the Administrative Agent.

(b) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” with respect to US Dollars 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 (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” with respect to any Agreed Currency 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 any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, 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 only after written notice thereof to the Company but otherwise without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(iii) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (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 paragraph (b)(iv) below and (E) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.13, including any determination with respect to a

74

tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.13.

(iv) 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 the Term SOFR, the EURIBO Rate or the CDO 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.

(v) Upon the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the applicable Borrower may revoke any request for borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of a Term Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, (A) such Borrower will be deemed to have converted any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in US Dollars into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to (1) an RFR Borrowing denominated in US Dollars so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (2) an ABR Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) any request for any Term Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be ineffective. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan in any Agreed Currency is outstanding on the date of the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement for such Agreed Currency is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.13(b), (A) in the case of Loans denominated in US Dollars, any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan convert to, and shall constitute, (1) an RFR Loan denominated in US Dollars so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (2) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event and (B) in the case of Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, convert to, and shall constitute, a CBR Loan that bears interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Foreign Currency plus the CBR Spread and (2) any RFR Loan shall convert to, and shall constitute, a CBR Loan that bears interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Foreign Currency plus the CBR Spread; provided that if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Foreign Currency cannot be determined, any such affected Loan shall be prepaid in full by the applicable Borrower on the day that the Company receives notice thereof from the Administrative Agent.

75

SECTION 2.14. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted CDO Rate or Adjusted EURIBO Rate, as applicable) or Issuing Bank;

(ii) impose on any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the applicable offshore interbank market for the applicable Agreed Currency any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

(iii) subject the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other recipient of any payments to be made by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower hereunder to any Taxes on its loans, commitments or other obligations or letters of credit, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (e) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes);

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Person of making, converting or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any Loan or to increase the cost to such Person of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Person hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, following receipt of the certificate described in paragraph (c) of this Section, the Company will pay to such Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Person for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or 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 from time to time, following receipt of the certificate described in paragraph (c) of this Section, the Company will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.14 shall be delivered to the Company (on behalf of itself and the Borrowing Subsidiaries) and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay (or cause to be paid) such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Company (on behalf of

76

itself and the Borrowing Subsidiaries) of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, a Lender shall not be entitled to any compensation pursuant to this Section 2.14 unless such Lender is imposing such charges or requesting such compensation (or is commencing to do so) from borrowers under comparable syndicated credit facilities as a matter of general practice or policy.

SECTION 2.15. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or as a result of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10), (b) the conversion of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Term Benchmark Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10(c) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, such Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the Company (on behalf of itself and the Borrowing Subsidiaries) and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower shall pay (or cause to be paid) such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.16. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower hereunder or under any other 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 shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) In addition, 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 the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) The applicable Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of such Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company (on behalf of itself and the Borrowing Subsidiaries) by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

77

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority, 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.

(e)(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Company (on behalf of itself and the Borrowing Subsidiaries) and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company 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 Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company 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 Section 2.16(e)(ii)(A), 2.16(e)(ii)(B) or 2.16(e)(iii)) shall not be required if in the applicable 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 a Borrower is a U.S. Person:

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding Tax;

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

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

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

78

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Tax Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Tax Code of any Borrower that is a U.S. Person or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Tax Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) a copy of executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

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

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

(iii) if a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement or any other 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 Tax Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Company at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Company, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Tax Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Company as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent and the Company 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 (iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iv) 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 Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

79

(f) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand thereof, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the applicable Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(d) 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 this Agreement or any other 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 this Agreement or any other 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 paragraph.

(g) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.16 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. For purposes of this Section 2.16, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank, and the term “Foreign Lender” includes any Issuing Bank that is a not a U.S. Person.

SECTION 2.17. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to (i) in the case of payments denominated in US Dollars, 2:00 p.m., New York City time, and (ii) in the case of payments denominated in a Foreign Currency, the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent, in each case on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Lenders or Issuing Banks, to such account as the Administrative Agent shall from time to time specify in one or more notices delivered to the Company, except payments to be made directly to any Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein shall be so made directly and except that payments pursuant to

80

Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. All payments hereunder of principal or interest in respect of any Loan or LC Disbursement shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be made in the currency of such Loan or LC Disbursement; all other payments hereunder and under each other Loan Document shall be made in US Dollars. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments, in the same currency, received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if, after the making of any Loan or the issuance of any Letter of Credit denominated in any Foreign Currency, currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the country which issues such currency with the result that the type of currency in which such Loan or Letter of Credit is denominated (the “Original Currency”) no longer exists or any Borrower is not able to make payment as required hereunder in such Original Currency, then all payments to be made by such Borrower hereunder in such Original Currency shall instead be made when due in US Dollars in an amount equal to the US Dollar Equivalent (determined as of the date of payment) of such payment due, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the Borrowers take all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations.

(b) At any time that payments are not required to be applied in the manner required by Section 7.02, if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements, 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 or participations in LC Disbursements, of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, as in effect from time to time), including Sections 2.21, 2.22 and 2.24, 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 to any assignee or participant, other than to the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof (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 such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Company (on behalf of itself and the Borrowing Subsidiaries) prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lenders or any Issuing Bank hereunder that the applicable Borrower will not

81

make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the applicable Overnight Rate.

(e) In the event that any financial statements delivered under Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b), or any Compliance Certificate delivered under Section 5.01(c), shall prove to have been inaccurate, and such inaccuracy shall have resulted in the payment of any interest or fees at rates lower than those that were in fact applicable for any period (based on the actual Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio), then, if such inaccuracy is discovered prior to the Termination Date, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for distribution to the Lenders (or former Lenders) as their interests may appear, the accrued interest or fees that should have been paid but were not paid as a result of such inaccuracy.

SECTION 2.18. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender or Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender or Issuing Bank shall (at the request of the Company) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans or issuing its Letters of Credit hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or Issuing Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender or Issuing Bank to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Company (on behalf of itself and the Borrowing Subsidiaries) hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (iv) any Lender provides a notice under Section 2.24, or (v) any Lender fails to consent to any amendment or waiver which requires the consent of all of the Lenders (or all affected Lenders or all the Lenders of the affected Class) and which has been consented to by the Required Lenders (or, in circumstances where Section 9.02 does not require the consent of the Required Lenders, by a Majority in Interest of the Lenders of the affected Class), then the Company (on behalf of itself and the Borrowing Subsidiaries) may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (or all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as a Lender of a particular Class) to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee (x) may be another Lender, if such Lender accepts such assignment, and (y) shall be a Person to which an assignment would be permitted under Section 9.04); provided that (A) the Company (on behalf of itself and the Borrowing Subsidiaries) shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if a Revolving Commitment or LC Exposure is being assigned, each Issuing Bank (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) solely if such consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments of the applicable Class to such assignee, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (if applicable, in each case only to the extent such amounts relate to its interest as a Lender of a particular

82

Class) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (C) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company (on behalf of itself and the Borrowing Subsidiaries) to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each Lender agrees that if it is replaced pursuant to this paragraph (b), it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence such assignment and delegation (provided that the failure of any Lender replaced pursuant to this paragraph (b) to execute an Assignment and Assumption shall not render such assignment and delegation invalid) and such assignment and delegation shall be recorded in the Register. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Lender and in the name of such Lender, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, with prior written notice to such Lender, to take any action and to execute any such Assignment and Assumption or other instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this paragraph (b).

SECTION 2.19. Borrowing Subsidiaries. (a) After the later of the Availability Date and the Separation Effective Date, the Company may designate, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent not less than five Business Days (or, in the case of a proposed Foreign Borrowing Subsidiary, not less than ten Business Days) prior to the date of such designation (and, solely with respect to the designation of a Foreign Borrowing Subsidiary, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, each Revolving Lender and each Issuing Bank), any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary as a Borrowing Subsidiary by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement executed by such Restricted Subsidiary and the Company, and upon such delivery, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.04, such Restricted Subsidiary shall for all purposes of this Agreement be a Borrowing Subsidiary and a party to this Agreement. The Company may cause any Borrowing Subsidiary to cease to be a party to this Agreement by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Subsidiary Termination, whereupon such Restricted Subsidiary shall cease to be a Borrowing Subsidiary and a party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such Borrowing Subsidiary Termination will become effective as to any Borrowing Subsidiary at a time when any principal of or interest on any Loan made directly to such Borrowing Subsidiary, or any Letter of Credit or obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements of such Borrowing Subsidiary, shall be outstanding hereunder, provided that such Borrowing Subsidiary Termination shall be effective to terminate the right of such Borrowing Subsidiary to make further borrowings or obtain further Letters of Credit under this Agreement. As soon as practicable upon receipt of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall send a copy thereof to each Lender.

(b) Each Borrowing Subsidiary hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including (i) the giving and receipt of notices (including any Borrowing Request, any Interest Election Request and any request for an issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit) and (ii) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein. Each Borrowing Subsidiary hereby acknowledges that any amendment or other modification to this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be effected as set forth in Section 9.02, that no consent of such Borrowing Subsidiary shall be required to effect any such amendment or other modification and that such Borrowing Subsidiary shall be bound by this Agreement or any other Loan Document (if it is theretofore a party thereto) as so amended or modified.

83

SECTION 2.20. Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from any Borrower or any Guarantor under any Loan Document in the currency expressed to be payable therein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s main New York City office on the Business Day preceding that on which such judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrowers and the Guarantors in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank under any Loan Document shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, in the specified currency, each Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) in the case of any Lender, any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 2.17(c), the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the Company, on behalf of such Borrower.

SECTION 2.21. Incremental Facilities. (a) The Company may, on one or more occasions after the later of the Availability Date and the Separation Effective Date, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request (i) the establishment, during the Revolving Availability Period, of Incremental Revolving Commitments and/or (ii) the establishment of Incremental Term Commitments; provided that (A) the aggregate amount of all the Incremental Commitments established hereunder shall not exceed US$425,000,000 and (B) any Incremental Commitments established hereunder shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum (or, in each case, such lesser amount as shall be the remaining portion of the maximum Incremental Commitments permitted to be established pursuant to clause (A) or to which the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree). Each such notice shall specify (x) the date on which the Company proposes that the Incremental Revolving Commitments or the Incremental Term Commitments, as applicable, shall be effective and (y) the amount of the Incremental Revolving Commitments or the Incremental Term Commitments, as applicable, requested to be established (it being agreed that (1) any Lender approached to provide any Incremental Commitment may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Commitment, and (2) any Person that the Company proposes to become an Incremental Lender, if such Person is not then a Lender, must be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any proposed Incremental Revolving Lender, each Issuing Bank (each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) solely if such approval would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments of the applicable Class to such Incremental Lender).

(b) The terms and conditions of any Incremental Revolving Commitment and the Loans and other extensions of credit to be made thereunder shall be identical to those of the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans and other extensions of credit made thereunder, and shall be treated as a single Class with such Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Company determines to increase the interest rate or fees payable in respect of Incremental Revolving Commitments or Loans and other extensions of credit made thereunder, such increase shall be permitted if the interest rate or fees payable in respect of the other Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans and other extensions of credit made thereunder, as applicable, shall be increased to equal such interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Incremental Revolving Commitments or Loans and other extensions of credit made thereunder, as the case may be; provided further that the Company, at its election, may pay upfront, closing or other fees with respect to the establishment of Incremental Revolving Commitments without paying such fees with respect

84

to the other Revolving Commitments. The terms and conditions of any Incremental Term Commitments and the Incremental Term Loans to be made thereunder shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement, identical to those of the Tranche A Term Commitments and the Tranche A Term Loans; provided that (i) the final scheduled maturity date of any Incremental Term Loans shall not be earlier than the latest Maturity Date with respect to any Class of Term Loans in effect on the date of incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans (or, if no Term Loans are outstanding hereunder as of such date, then the latest Revolving Maturity Date in effect on such date), (ii) the weighted average life to maturity of any Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the longest remaining weighted average life to maturity of any Class of Term Loans outstanding on the date of incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans (determined without giving effect to any prepayment thereof that would otherwise modify such weighted average life to maturity), it being understood that, subject to this clause (ii), the amortization schedule applicable to (and the effect thereon of any prepayments of) any Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Company and the applicable Incremental Term Lenders, (iii) such Incremental Term Loans may participate in any mandatory prepayments hereunder on a pro rata basis (or on a basis that is less than pro rata) with the other Term Loans, but may not provide for mandatory prepayment requirements that are more favorable than those applicable to the other Term Loans, (iv) such Incremental Term Loans shall be extensions of credit to the Company that are Guaranteed only by the Subsidiary Guarantors, shall be secured by the Collateral on an equal and ratable basis with the other Loans and shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the other Loans, and (v) except for the terms referred to above and except with respect to “effective yield” and components thereof, including interest, fees and premiums, (A) the terms of any Incremental Term Loans shall be identical to those applicable to the Tranche A Term Loans (other than such terms that are applicable only to periods after the latest Maturity Date in effect on the date of the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans) or (B) any terms of such Incremental Term Loans that are more favorable to the Incremental Lenders thereof than those contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are then conformed (or added) to this Agreement or the applicable other Loan Documents for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided that any Incremental Term Loans may contain mandatory prepayment requirements that are not applicable to the Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans. In the event any Incremental Term Loans have the same terms as any existing Class of Term Loans then outstanding (disregarding any differences in original issue discount or upfront fees or scheduled amortization if not affecting, or is required to preserve, the fungibility thereof for U.S. federal income tax purposes), such Incremental Term Loans may, at the election of the Company, be treated as a single Class with such outstanding Term Loans, and the scheduled amortization installments set forth in Section 2.09 with respect to any such Class of Term Loans may be increased to reflect scheduled amortization of such Incremental Term Loans.

(c) The Incremental Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Incremental Facility Agreements executed and delivered by the Company, each Incremental Lender providing such Incremental Commitments and the Administrative Agent; provided that no Incremental Commitments shall become effective unless (i) subject to Section 1.06, on the date of effectiveness thereof and after giving pro forma effect to such Incremental Commitments (and assuming that the full amount of such Incremental Commitments is funded as Loans on such date) and all the related transactions, (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom and (B) the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (provided that any representation or warranty qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect shall be true and correct in all respects), in each case on and as of such date, except in the case of any such representation and warranty that expressly relates to a prior date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be so true and correct on and as of such prior date, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing requirements of this clause (i) or anything to the contrary in Section 4.03, if any Incremental Term Commitments are established in connection with any Acquisition or a similar Investment that, in each case, is a Limited Conditionality Transaction and the Incremental Term Lenders providing such Incremental Term Commitments so agree, the conditions to effectiveness of such

85

Incremental Term Commitments and to the funding of Incremental Term Loans thereunder set forth in this clause (i) and in Section 4.03 may be modified as agreed by the Company and such Incremental Term Lenders to limit such conditions to customary “SunGard” or “certain funds” conditionality, (ii) subject to Section 1.06, on the date of effectiveness thereof and after giving pro forma effect to such Incremental Commitments (and assuming that the full amount of such Incremental Commitments is funded as Loans on such date, but without netting the cash proceeds thereof in the calculation of the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio) and all the related transactions, the Company shall be in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.12 on a Pro Forma Basis (in each case, calculated as of the last day of or for the Test Period then most recently ended and, in the case of any Incremental Term Commitments established in connection with a Qualified Material Acquisition, giving effect to any Leverage Increase Election that the Company intends to make (and, in accordance with Section 6.12(a), is permitted to make, it being understood that the Company shall then be obligated to make such election) upon the consummation of such Qualified Material Acquisition), and (iii) the Company shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such customary legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s certificates and other closing documents as shall reasonably be requested (consistent in all material respects with the documents delivered under Section 4.02 on the Availability Date) by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.

(d) Each Incremental Facility Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, as determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to give effect to the provisions of this Section, including any amendments necessary to establish new Classes of Loans and/or Commitments hereunder (including for purposes of voting (it being agreed that such new Class of Loans and Commitments may be included in the definition of “Required Lenders” and “Majority in Interest” and may be afforded class voting rights requiring the consent of Lenders under such Class in addition to any other consent of Lenders that might otherwise be required under Section 9.02)) or to reflect an increase in any existing Class of Loans and/or Commitments and any technical amendments relating thereto.

(e) Upon the effectiveness of an Incremental Commitment of any Incremental Lender, (i) such Incremental Lender shall be deemed to be a “Lender” (and a Lender in respect of Commitments and Loans of the applicable Class) hereunder, and henceforth shall be entitled to all the rights of, and benefits accruing to, Lenders (or Lenders in respect of Commitments and Loans of the applicable Class) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and shall be bound by all agreements, acknowledgements and other obligations of Lenders (or Lenders in respect of Commitments and Loans of the applicable Class) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (ii) in the case of any Incremental Revolving Commitment, (A) such Incremental Revolving Commitment shall constitute (or, in the event such Incremental Lender already has a Revolving Commitment, shall increase) the Revolving Commitment of such Incremental Lender and (B) the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be increased by the amount of such Incremental Revolving Commitment, in each case, subject to further increase or reduction from time to time as set forth in the definition of the term “Revolving Commitment”. For the avoidance of doubt, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving Commitment, the Applicable Percentages of all the Revolving Lenders shall automatically be adjusted to give effect thereto.

(f) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all actions as it determines to be reasonably necessary to ensure that, after giving effect to any Incremental Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.21, the outstanding Revolving Loans, if any, are held by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their new Applicable Percentages. This may be accomplished, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, by, among other things, (i) requiring the outstanding Revolving Loans to be prepaid with the proceeds of a new Revolving Borrowing, (ii) causing the existing Revolving Lenders to assign portions of their outstanding Revolving Loans to Incremental Revolving Lenders, which assignments shall be effected pursuant to such mechanics as shall be reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, or (iii) by any combination of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

86

in order to eliminate any break funding liability of the applicable Borrower under Section 2.15, if, on the date that any Incremental Revolving Commitment becomes effective pursuant to this Section 2.21, any Term Benchmark Revolving Loans are outstanding, such Term Benchmark Revolving Loans may continue to remain outstanding (notwithstanding any other requirement in this Agreement that the Revolving Loans be held by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their new Applicable Percentages) until the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto.

(g) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of any notice from the Company referred to in Section 2.21(a) and of the effectiveness of any Incremental Commitments, in each case advising the Lenders of the details thereof and, in the case of effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving Commitments, of the Applicable Percentages of the Revolving Lenders after giving effect thereto.

SECTION 2.22. Extension/Modification Offers.

(a) The Company may, on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, make one or more offers (each, an “Extension/Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders of one or more Classes (each Class subject to such an Extension/Modification Offer being referred to as an “Extension/Modification Request Class”), on the same terms and conditions, and on a pro rata basis, to each Lender within any Extension/Modification Request Class, to make one or more Extension/Modification Permitted Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Company. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Extension/Modification Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Extension/Modification Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective. Extension/Modification Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Lenders of the Extension/Modification Request Class that accept the applicable Extension/Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Extending/Modifying Lenders”) and, in the case of any Extending/Modifying Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loans and Commitments of such Extension/Modification Request Class as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made. Any Extended/Modified Loans or Extended/Modified Commitments shall constitute a separate Class of Loans or Commitments from the Extension/Modification Request Class from which they were converted and, in the event any Extended/Modified Term Loans have the same terms as any existing Class of Term Loans then outstanding or any Term Loans then substantially concurrently established under this Section 2.22 or Section 2.21 (in each case, disregarding any differences in original issue discount or upfront fees or scheduled amortization if not affecting, or is required to preserve, the fungibility thereof for U.S. federal income tax purposes), such Extended/Modified Term Loans may, at the election of the Company, be treated as a single Class with such outstanding Term Loans or such other Term Loans, and the scheduled amortization installments set forth in Section 2.09 with respect to any such Class of Term Loans may be increased to reflect scheduled amortization of such Extended/Modified Term Loans. The Extension/Modification Offer shall not be required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, provided that the Company may, at its option and subject to its right to waive any such condition in its sole discretion, specify as a condition to the effectiveness of any Extension/Modification Permitted Amendment that a minimum amount, as specified in the Extension/Modification Offer, of Loans and Commitments of the Extension/Modification Request Class be extended. The Company may amend, revoke or replace any Extension/Modification Offer at any time prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Extension/Modification Agreement.

(b) An Extension/Modification Permitted Amendment shall be effected pursuant to an Extension/Modification Agreement executed and delivered by the Company, each applicable Extending/Modifying Lender and the Administrative Agent; provided that no Extension/Modification Permitted Amendment shall become effective unless the Company shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such customary legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s

87

certificates and other closing documents as shall reasonably be requested (consistent in all material respects with the documents delivered under Section 4.02 on the Availability Date, except for changes related to changes in law or collateral reaffirmations) by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension/Modification Agreement. Each Extension/Modification Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Extending/Modifying Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, as determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.22, including (i) a reduction to the scheduled amortization installments set forth in Section 2.09 with respect to the Term Loans of the Extension/Modification Request Class to reflect the treatment of the Extended/Modified Loans as a new Class of Term Loans, (ii) changes referred to in Section 2.22(a) and (iii) any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Extending/Modifying Lenders as a new Class of Loans and/or Commitments hereunder (including for purposes of prepayments and voting (it being agreed that such new Class of Loans may be included in the definitions of “Required Lenders” and “Majority in Interest” and may be afforded class voting rights requiring the consent of Lenders under such Class in addition to any other consent of Lenders that might otherwise be required under Section 9.02)) and to reflect an increase in any existing Class of Loans and/or Commitments and any technical amendments relating thereto (including to enable such new Class of Loans to be extended under this Section 2.22); provided that, in the case of any Extension/Modification Offer relating to Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans, except as otherwise agreed to by each Issuing Bank, (A) the allocation of the participation exposure with respect to any then-existing or subsequently issued Letter of Credit as between the Commitments of such new Class and the remaining Revolving Commitments shall be made on a ratable basis as between the Commitments of such new Class and the remaining Revolving Commitments (and the applicable Extension/Modification Agreement shall contain reallocation and cash collateralization provisions, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Company, with respect to Letters of Credit outstanding on the Revolving Maturity Date) and (B) the Revolving Availability Period and the Revolving Maturity Date, as such terms are used in reference to Letters of Credit of any Issuing Bank, may not be extended without the prior written consent of such Issuing Bank.

SECTION 2.23. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) Revolving Commitment Fees and Ticking Fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11;

(b) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 7.02 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank hereunder; third, to cash collateralize LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with this Section; fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize future LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with this Section; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing

88

to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or any Issuing Bank against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Revolving Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Revolving Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Revolving Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Revolving Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure are held by the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments without giving effect to paragraph (d) of this Section; it being agreed that any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents thereto;

(c) the Commitments, Term Loans and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders, a Majority in Interest of Lenders of any Class or any other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that any amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders, all Lenders of any Class (to the extent such Defaulting Lender is a Lender of such Class) or all Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby (to the extent such Defaulting Lender is so affected) shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02, require the consent of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof;

(d) if any LC Exposure exists at the time any Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) all or any part of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender (other than any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Sections 2.05(d) and 2.05(e)) shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent such reallocation does not result in the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Revolving Lender to exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Revolving Lender (provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties and subject to Section 9.19, no reallocation in accordance herewith will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender);

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company shall, within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, cash collateralize (or provide other credit support reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Banks), for the benefit of the Issuing Banks, the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (other than any portion thereof referred to in the parenthetical in such clause (i)) that has not been reallocated in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

89

(iii) if the Company cash collateralizes (or provides other credit support reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Banks) any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any participation fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized (or otherwise subject to such credit support);

(iv) if the LC Exposure of any Defaulting Lender is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Revolving Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and 2.11(b) shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure that is subject to reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized (or otherwise subject to credit support) pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all participation fees payable under Section 2.11(b) 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 portion 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 (or other credit support reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Banks is provided); and

(e) so long as such Lender (if a Revolving Lender) is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and such Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders and/or cash collateral (or other credit support reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank) will be provided by the Company in accordance with Section 2.23(d), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.23(d)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Company and, in the case of any Defaulting Revolving Lender, each Issuing Bank agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon such Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender hereunder and, in the case of a Defaulting Revolving Lender, the LC Exposure of the Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Revolving Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Revolving Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the fact that any Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, (a) no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender (and such Lender shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fees or participation fees that were not paid to it during the period it was a Defaulting Lender in accordance with the foregoing provisions), (b) all waivers, amendments and modifications effected without its consent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.23 and Section 9.02 during the period it was a Defaulting Lender shall be binding on it and (c) except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties and subject to Section 9.19, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.24. Illegality. If any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans (whether denominated in US Dollars or a Foreign Currency), or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted Term SOFR, the Adjusted EURIBO Rate, the Adjusted CDO Rate, the Daily Simple SOFR or the Daily Simple SONIA, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, any Foreign Currency in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Company through the Administrative Agent, (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, in the case of Loans denominated in US Dollars, to convert ABR Loans to Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans, shall be suspended, and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining ABR Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Term SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate, the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice by the Company, (x) the applicable Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in US Dollars, convert all such Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans (the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor (if applicable), if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term Benchmark Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Term SOFR component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Term SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

ARTICLE VIII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

SECTION 8.01. Authorization and Action. (a) Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Administrative Agent in the heading of this Agreement and its successors and assigns to serve as the administrative agent and as the collateral agent under the Loan Documents and each Lender and Issuing Bank authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such Loan Documents.

(b) As to any matters not expressly provided for herein and in the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions 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, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents), and, unless and until revoked in writing, such instructions shall be binding upon each Lender and each Issuing Bank; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification and is exculpated in a manner satisfactory to it from the Lenders and the Issuing Banks with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable

120

law, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent may seek clarification or direction from 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, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents) prior to the exercise of any such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided. Except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(c) In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (except in limited circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the maintenance of the Register), and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i) the Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or duty or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Secured Party, other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties); and each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees (and each other Secured Party will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Secured Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed) that it will not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; and

(ii) nothing in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent to account to any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Secured Party for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by the Administrative Agent for its own account.

(d) The Administrative Agent may perform any 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 of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article VIII 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 pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent 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 or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.

121

(e) In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party 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 Loan Party) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Disbursements 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 Agent (including any claim under Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.14, 2.16 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each other Secured Party 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, the Issuing Banks or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 9.03). Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or Issuing Bank or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or Issuing Bank in any such proceeding.

SECTION 8.02. Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Limitation of Liability. (a) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable to any Lender or Issuing Bank for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (x) with the consent of 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) or (y) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment).

(b) The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of (x) any of the events or circumstances set forth or described in Section 5.02 unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice under Section 5.02”) in respect of this Agreement and identifying the specific clause under such Section is given to the Administrative Agent by the Company, or (y) any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of Default” or a “notice of an Event of Default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Company, a Lender or an Issuing Bank. Further, the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, including with respect to the existence and aggregate amount of Designated Cash Management Obligations, Designated Hedging Obligations or Designated Performance LC Obligations at any time and, in the case of Designated

122

Performance Letters of Credit, whether the aggregate face amount thereof exceeds the maximum permitted amount specified in the definition thereof, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the sufficiency, value, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by e-mailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page) or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items (which on their face purport to be such items) expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by any Loan Party, any Lender or any Issuing Bank as a result of (A) any determination 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), (B) any determination of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure or the component amounts thereof, any determination of the Exchange Rate or the US Dollar Equivalent, (C) any determination of the Central Bank Rate or the Central Bank Rate Adjustment, (D) any determination 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 have no obligation to determine whether any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, and (E) any determination it makes as contemplated by the definition of the terms “Collateral and Guarantee Requirement”, “Excluded Asset” and “Excluded Subsidiary” or by Section 5.10. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have no knowledge of any Lender being a Restricted Lender unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received the written notice from such Lender referred to in Section 1.09, and then only as and to the extent specified in such notice, and any determination of whether the Required Lenders or any other requisite Lenders shall have provided a consent or direction in connection with this Agreement shall not be affected by any delivery to the Administrative Agent of any such written notice subsequent to such consent or direction being provided by the Required Lenders or other requisite Lenders.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (i) may treat the payee of any promissory note as its holder until such promissory note has been assigned in accordance with Section 9.04, (ii) may rely on the Register to the extent set forth in Section 9.04(b), (iii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to the Company), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (iv) in determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the effectiveness of this Agreement or the making of a Loan, or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or Issuing Bank, 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 of the occurrence of the Effective Date or the making of such Loan or the issuance, amendment or extension of such Letter of Credit and (v) shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any notice, request, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which writing may be an email, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or 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 maker thereof) and may act upon such statement made to it orally or by telephone prior to receipt of a written confirmation thereof.

123

(d) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Issuing Bank or Participant or prospective Lender or Issuing Bank or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution.

SECTION 8.03. Posting of Communications. (a) Each Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Lenders and Issuing Banks by posting the Communications on IntraLinks^™, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).

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

(c) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ARRANGER, ANY SYNDICATION AGENT, ANY DOCUMENTATION AGENT OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.

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

124

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

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

SECTION 8.04. The Administrative Agent Individually. With respect to its Commitments, Loans, Letter of Credit Commitments and Letters of Credit, the Person serving as the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be. The terms “Issuing Banks”, “Lenders”, “Required Lenders”, “Majority in Interest” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender, Issuing Bank or as one of the Required Lenders or as part of the Majority in Interest, as applicable. The Person serving as 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 banking, trust or other business with, the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing as if such Person was not acting as the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks.

SECTION 8.05. Successor Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Company, whether or not a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York or an Affiliate of any such bank; provided that in no event shall such successor be a Defaulting Lender, a Disqualified Institution or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender or a Disqualified Institution. In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Company (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and shall not be required while a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Company to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. Prior to any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.05(a), in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Company, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the

125

Administrative Agent under any Security Document for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and continue to be entitled to the rights set forth in such Security Document, and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of the Administrative Agent, shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this Section (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any further action under any Security Document, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such security interest), and (ii) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided that (A) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (B) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or Issuing Banks shall directly be given or made to each Lender and each Issuing Bank. Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.03, as well as any other exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under clause (i) above.

SECTION 8.06. Acknowledgement of Lenders and Issuing Banks. (a) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender or Issuing Bank, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder or extent Letters of Credit hereunder. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information (which may contain MNPI) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(b) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement on the Effective Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, 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 Effective Date or the Availability Date.

(c)(i) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender or Issuing Bank that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender or 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 Issuing Bank (whether or not known to such Lender or Issuing Bank), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) 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

126

Issuing Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the Overnight Rate, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender or 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, without limitation, 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 8.06(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(ii) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender and 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 Issuing Bank, as applicable, 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 (1) 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 Issuing Bank, as applicable, to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the Overnight Rate.

(iii) Each Loan Party hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender or 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 Issuing Bank, as applicable, with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Loan Party.

(iv) Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.06(c) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.

SECTION 8.07. Collateral and Guarantee Matters.

(a) Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.08 (or any similar provision in any other Loan Document) or with respect to a Secured Party’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents with respect thereto may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof.

(b) In furtherance and without limiting the foregoing, none of any agreement in respect of Cash Management Services the obligations under which constitute Designated Cash Management Obligations, any Hedging Agreement the obligations under which constitute Designated Hedging Obligations, any letter of credit or agreements relating thereto the obligations under which constitute Designated Performance LC Obligations, the 1991 Indenture or the 2036 Notes will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under any Loan Document. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral and

127

the Guarantees of the Obligations created under the Loan Documents, as applicable, each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto (including, without limitation, each holder of any Designated Cash Management Obligations, Designated Hedging Obligations, Designated Performance LC Obligations or 2036 Notes) shall be deemed to have appointed the Person named herein (and its successors and assigns) as the Administrative Agent to act in such capacity under the Loan Documents and to have agreed to be bound by the provisions of this Section 8.07 and the other provisions set forth in this Article VIII.

(c) The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent:

(i) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by Administrative Agent under any Loan Document as provided in Section 9.15;

(ii) to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement and the Security Documents as provided in Section 9.15; and

(iii) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02(a)(v) or 6.02(a)(vi).

Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Collateral Agreement or Guarantee Agreement or its Lien on any Collateral pursuant to this Article.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon or any certificate prepared by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders or any other Secured Party for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

SECTION 8.08. Credit Bidding. The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Secured Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Secured Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the Capital Stock or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Secured Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall

128

be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 9.02), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Secured Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership interests, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Secured Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Secured Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Secured Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Secured Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata with their original interest in such Secured Obligations and the Capital Stock and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Secured Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Secured Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive Capital Stock in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

SECTION 8.09. Miscellaneous.

(a) The provisions of this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and, except solely to the extent of the Company’s rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 8.05 and the provisions of this Article VIII relating to Collateral and Guarantees (including provisions authorizing the release thereof), none of the Borrowers, any other Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary under any such provisions.

(b) None of the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents or the Documentation Agents shall have obligations or duties whatsoever in such capacity under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and shall incur no liability hereunder or thereunder in such capacity, but all such Persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities and exculpatory provisions provided for hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

(e) Any party hereto may change its address or email for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto (or, in the case of any change by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, by notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent).

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the effectiveness of this Agreement, the making of a Loan or issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Except as provided in Section 9.02(c), none of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or otherwise modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Company, each Borrowing Subsidiary (but only to the extent such waiver, amendment or modification relates to such Borrowing Subsidiary) and the Required Lenders or by the Company, each Borrowing Subsidiary (but only to the extent such waiver, amendment or modification relates to such Borrowing Subsidiary) and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders and (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party that is party thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (A) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (B) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon or reduce any fees payable hereunder (in each case, other than as a result of any change in the definition, or in any components thereof, of the term “Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio” or any waiver of default interest), without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (C) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment (in each case, other than as a result of any change in the definition, or in any components thereof, of the term “Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio” or any waiver of default interest), or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (D) release or limit the liability of any Borrower in respect of any of its obligations to pay principal, interest or fees under any Loan Document, unless, in the case of any Borrowing Subsidiary, it has been terminated as a Borrowing

131

Subsidiary in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.19, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (E) release the Company from its Guarantee created under the Guarantee Agreement or release all or substantially all the value of the Guarantees provided by the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Guarantee Agreement (excluding any such release by the Administrative Agent in connection with any sale or other disposition of any Subsidiary upon the exercise of remedies under the Security Documents), without the written consent of each Lender, (F) release all or substantially all the Collateral from the Liens created under the Security Documents (other than any such release by the Administrative Agent in connection with any sale or other disposition of the Collateral upon the exercise of remedies under the Security Documents) or expressly subordinate any Lien created under the Security Documents to any other Liens (other than any subordination permitted by Section 8.07(c)), in each case, without the written consent of each Lender, it being understood and agreed that (x) any modification of sales, transfers or other dispositions permitted by Section 6.04 or any modification to the maximum permitted amount of Designated Performance Letters of Credit set forth in the definition of such term shall only require the consent of the Requisite Lenders and (y) the application of the payment waterfall provisions of Section 4.02 of the Collateral Agreement shall not be deemed to be subordination of Liens created under the Security Documents, (G) waive the condition in Section 4.02(c) without the written consent of each Lender, (H) change Section 2.17(b) or 2.17(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, or change the payment waterfall provisions of Section 7.02 hereof or Section 4.02 of the Collateral Agreement (or otherwise expressly subordinate in right of payment any of the Loan Document Obligations), in each case, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, it being understood and agreed that (x) any modification to the maximum permitted amount of Designated Performance Letters of Credit set forth in the definition of such term shall only require the consent of the Requisite Lenders and (y) the application of the payment waterfall provisions of Section 2.17(b) or 7.02 hereof or Section 4.02 of the Collateral Agreement shall not be deemed to be subordination in right of payment of any of the Loan Document Obligations, (I) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders”, “Majority in Interest” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be); or (J) change any provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its express terms directly and adversely affects the rights in respect of payment of, or the conditions precedent to extensions of credit by, Lenders of any Class differently than the rights of Lenders of any other Class, without the written consent of Lenders representing a Majority in Interest of each adversely affected Class; provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 9.02(b):

(i) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Company and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, mistake, omission, defect or inconsistency, or any necessary or desirable technical change, or, subject to the rights of the Issuing Banks under the final proviso set forth in Section 9.02(b), to make any changes that are beneficial to the interests of the Lenders, so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment;

(ii) no consent with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be required of any Defaulting Lender, except with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification referred to in clause (A), (B) or (C) set forth in Section 9.02(b) and then only in the event such Defaulting Lender shall be affected by such amendment, waiver or other modification;

132

(iii) any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement or such Loan Document of the Lenders of one or more Classes (but not the Lenders of any other Class) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Company (and, in the case of any other Loan Document, the other Loan Parties party thereto to the extent such other Loan Parties are directly affected thereby) and the requisite number or percentage in interest of each affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section 9.02 if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at that time;

(iv) this Agreement may be amended in the manner contemplated by Sections 2.13(b), 2.19, 2.21, 2.22, 4.02(h), 5.10 and 6.11 without any additional consents;

(v) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended in the manner provided in Section 2.05(i) and the definition of the term “Issuing Bank” and the term “Applicable LC Sublimit”, as such term is used in reference to any Issuing Bank, may be modified as contemplated by the definition of such term;

(vi) no amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document referred to in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) shall require the consent or approval of any Lender which immediately after giving effect to such amendment, waiver or other modification (A) shall have no Commitment or other obligation to maintain or extend credit under the Loan Documents (as so amended, waived or otherwise modified), including, without limitation, any obligation in respect of any drawing under or participation in any Letter of Credit, and (B) substantially contemporaneously with the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or other modification shall have been paid in full all amounts owing to it under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, principal, interest and fees), it being understood and agreed that from and after the effectiveness of any such amendment, waiver or other modification any such Lender shall be deemed to no longer be a “Lender” hereunder or a party hereto, provided that any such Lender shall retain the benefit of indemnification and other provisions hereof which, by the terms hereof, would survive a termination of this Agreement;

(vii) the Administrative Agent may, without the consent of any Secured Party, consent to a departure by any Loan Party from any covenant of such Loan Party set forth in this Agreement, the Collateral Agreement or any other Security Document to the extent such departure is consistent with the authority of the Administrative Agent set forth in the definition of the term “Collateral and Guarantee Requirement”; and

(viii) this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Company (and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document to which it is a party, each other Loan Party that is a party thereto) (x) to add one or more credit facilities (in addition to those that may be effected under Section 2.21) to this Agreement and to permit extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Revolving Loans, Term Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (y) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders, Majority in Interest or other requisite Lenders.

(d) The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, waivers or other modifications on behalf of such Lender. Any amendment, waiver or other modification effected in accordance with this Section shall be binding upon each Person that is at the time thereof a Lender and each Person that subsequently becomes a Lender.

133

(b) The Company and each Borrowing Subsidiary, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all Liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee (limited, in the case if such fees, charges and disbursements of counsel, to one primary counsel and, if reasonably necessary, one special regulatory counsel for each discrete regulatory issue and one local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction to the Administrative Agent and one additional counsel (and, if reasonably necessary, one additional special regulatory counsel and one additional local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction) for all similarly situated other Indemnitees in light of actual or potential conflicts of interest or the availability of different claims or defenses), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Commitment Letter, any Fee Letter, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation, arbitration or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such Liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from (x) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (y) the material breach by such Indemnitee of its obligations under the Loan Documents or (z) arise solely from a dispute among the Indemnitees (except when and to the extent that one of the Indemnitees party to such dispute was acting in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as the Administrative Agent, an Arranger, a

134

Syndication Agent, a Documentation Agent or any similar role under this Agreement or any other Loan Document) that does not involve any act or omission of the Company or any of its Affiliates in violation of the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Borrower shall be liable for any settlement of any such claim, litigation, investigation, arbitration or proceeding if the amount or terms of such settlement was effected without the Company’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), but if settled with the Company’s written consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such claim, litigation, investigation, arbitration or proceeding, the Borrowers shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all Liabilities and related expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Borrower shall, without the prior written consent of an Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement or consent to the entry of any judgment of any pending or threatened claim, litigation, investigation, arbitration or proceeding against an Indemnitee in respect of which indemnity has been or could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnitee unless such settlement (x) includes a release of such Indemnitee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee, from all Liability on claims that are the subject matter thereof and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnitee or any injunctive relief or other non-monetary remedy. This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) To the extent that the Company or any Borrowing Subsidiary fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Issuing Bank, or any Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9.03, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Bank or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s “pro rata share” (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (it being understood that the Company’s or such Borrowing Subsidiary’s, as applicable, failure to pay any such amount shall not relieve the Company or such Borrowing Subsidiary, as applicable, of any default in the payment thereof); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified Liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or such sub-agent) or such Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or any Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity; provided further that, with respect to such unpaid amounts owed to any Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, or to any Related Party of any Issuing Bank acting for such Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity, only the Revolving Lenders shall be required to pay such unpaid amounts. For purposes of this Section, at any time, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure, unused Revolving Commitments and, except for purposes of the immediately preceding proviso, the outstanding Term Loans and unused Term Commitments, in each case, at such time (or most recently outstanding and in effect).

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Borrower shall assert, and each Borrower hereby waives, (i) any claim against any Lender-Related Person, on any theory of liability, for any Liabilities arising from the use by others of information or other materials (including, without limitation, any personal data) obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet and the Approved Electronic Platform) or (ii) any Liabilities against any Lender-Related Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Lender-Related Person shall assert, and each of them hereby waives, any Liabilities against any Borrower, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided, that nothing in this sentence shall limit any Borrower’s or any other Loan Party’s indemnity and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section or elsewhere in the Loan Documents.

135

(e) All amounts due under this Section 9.03 shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto (including the parties to any Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement) and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate or branch of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) except as expressly provided in Section 6.03(a), no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any 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. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate or branch of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 9.04) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the sub-agents of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents and the Related Parties of any of the foregoing Persons) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b)(ii) and (f) below, any Lender may assign to any 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, conditioned or delayed) of:

(A) the Company; provided that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment of Term Loans unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received written notice thereof; provided, further, that no consent of the Company shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as to assignments to Approved Funds, only in the case of an assignment of Term Loans) or, if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee;

(B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(C) in the case of any assignment of a Revolving Commitment or 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 or 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 of any Class, 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 US$5,000,000 unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) the Company shall be

136

deemed to have consented to any such assignment of Term Loans unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received written notice thereof and (2) no such consent of the Company shall be required if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(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, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (1) an Assignment and Assumption or (2) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants, together with a processing and recordation fee of US$3,500, such fee to be paid by either the assigning Lender or the assignee Lender or shared between such Lenders; 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 laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section 9.04, 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 of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an 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 Issuing Banks, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender and each Issuing Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender or an Issuing Bank, as applicable, hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

137

(v) Upon its receipt of (x) a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that (A) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to accept such Assignment and Assumption or so record the information contained therein if the Administrative Agent reasonably believes that such Assignment and Assumption lacks any written consent required by this Section or is otherwise not in proper form, it being acknowledged that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation (and shall incur no Liability) with respect to obtaining (or confirming the receipt) of any such written consent or with respect to the form of (or any defect in) such Assignment and Assumption, any such duty and obligation being solely with the assigning Lender and the assignee and (B) if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b), 2.05(d), 2.05(e), 2.17(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) Subject to Section 9.04(f), any Lender may, without the consent of the Company, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (a “Participant”) 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 (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the 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 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 first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.16(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.16(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04; provided further that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.16 and 2.18 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(c) as though it were a Lender.

(d) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.16 with respect to any participation than the participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, unless (i) the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent or (ii) such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Company is notified of the

138

participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.16(e) as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.16(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender). 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 obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in the obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such interest 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 this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) 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, and this Section 9.04 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.

(f) Disqualified Institutions. (i) No assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign or participate all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Company has consented to such assignment or participation in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment or participation). With respect to any assignee that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Institution”), (x) such assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender and (y) the execution by the Company of an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Institution. Any assignment in violation of this paragraph (f)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this paragraph (f) shall apply.

(ii) If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without the Company’s prior written consent in violation of paragraph (f)(i) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent, (A) prior to the Availability Date, terminate any Commitment of such Disqualified Institution and repay all obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Disqualified Institution in connection with such Commitment, (B) following the Availability Date, prepay any Loan of such Disqualified Institution by paying the lesser of (1) the principal amount thereof and (2) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such Loan, in each case, plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder, and/or (C) require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 9.04) all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to any Loan to one or more Persons at the lesser of (1) the principal amount of such Loan and (2) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such Loan, in each case, plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.

139

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Company, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, each Disqualified Institution party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on any such plan, (2) if such Disqualified Institution does vote on any such plan notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other applicable law), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other applicable law) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).

(iv) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrowers hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by the Company and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on any applicable electronic transmission system, including that portion thereof that is designated for “public side” Lenders and/or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same.

SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties thereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letter of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03, this Section 9.05 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit, the occurrence of the Termination Date and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. (a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable by the Company to the Administrative Agent in connection with the credit facilities established hereunder constitute the entire contract among the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof, including the commitments of the Lenders and, if applicable, their Affiliates with respect to the credit facilities established hereunder under the Commitment Letter or any commitment advices submitted by any Lender (but do not supersede any provisions of the Commitment Letter that by the terms thereof survive

140

the effectiveness of this Agreement or any provisions of any Fee Letter, all of which provisions shall remain in full force and effect). Except as provided in Sections 4.01 and 4.02, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

(b) Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of (x) this Agreement, (y) any other Loan Document and/or (z) any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any notice delivered pursuant to Section 9.01), certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or the transactions contemplated hereby and/or thereby (each an “Ancillary Document”) that is an Electronic Signature transmitted by emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement, such other Loan Document or such Ancillary Document, as applicable. The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, “delivery” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in any electronic form (including deliveries by emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page), each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent and pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party without further verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any such Electronic Signature and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrowers hereby (A) agree that, for all purposes, including, without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Loan Parties, Electronic Signatures transmitted by emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page and/or any electronic images of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, (B) agree that each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks may, at its option, create one or more copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document in the form of an imaged electronic record in any format, which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document (and all such electronic records shall be considered an original for all purposes and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record), (C) waive any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document and/or such Ancillary Document, respectively, including with respect to any signature pages thereto, and (D) waive any claim against any Lender-Related Person for any Liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s, any Lender’s or any Issuing Bank’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures and/or transmissions by emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page, including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of any Loan Party to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.

141

SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final and in whatever currency denominated) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any of and all the obligations of such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender and Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section 9.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate may have. Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT, SUBJECT TO THE FINAL SENTENCE OF THIS PARAGRAPH, ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED EXCLUSIVELY IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE OR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY AGAINST ANY FOREIGN BORROWING SUBSIDIARY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF THE JURISDICTION OF ORGANIZATION OF SUCH FOREIGN BORROWING SUBSIDIARY.

(c) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any transactions contemplated hereby or thereby in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.09. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such suit, action or proceeding in any such court.

Each of the Borrowing Subsidiaries hereby appoints the Company as its agent to receive on its behalf service of proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby in any court, such service being hereby acknowledged by each Borrowing Subsidiary to be effective and binding service in every respect. The Company hereby accepts such appointment. Such appointment shall be irrevocable by each Borrowing Subsidiary until the Termination Date. Each Foreign Borrowing Subsidiary hereby consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 9.09(b) in any federal or New York State court sitting in New York City by service of process upon the Company as provided in this Section 9.09(d); provided that, to the extent lawful and possible, notice of such service upon such agent shall be mailed by registered or certified air mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Company and (if applicable to) such Foreign Borrowing Subsidiary to the address of which such Foreign Borrowing Subsidiary shall have given written notice to the Administrative Agent (with a copy thereof to the Company). Each Foreign Borrowing Subsidiary irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all claim of error by reason of any such service in such manner and agrees that such service shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon such Foreign Borrowing Subsidiary, as applicable, in any such suit, action or proceeding and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be taken and held to be valid and personal service upon and personal delivery to such Foreign Borrowing Subsidiary, as applicable.

(b) A Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement (and its Guarantee created thereunder shall automatically be released) and the Security Documents (and the Liens granted by it thereunder shall automatically be released) upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary Guarantor (x) ceases to be a Subsidiary or (y) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom, ceases to be a Designated Subsidiary; provided that (i) if so required by this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall have consented to such transaction and the terms of such consent shall not have provided otherwise and (ii) in the case of any such release of any Subsidiary Guarantor on account of it ceasing to be a Designated Subsidiary as a result of not being a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, such Subsidiary Guarantor ceased to be a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary as a result of the consummation of a bona fide transaction entered into for a valid business purpose and not undertaken for the primary purpose of obtaining the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement and/or the Collateral Agreement.

(c) Upon (i) any sale, transfer or other disposition by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor (other than to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor) of any Collateral in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, (ii) any Collateral being, or becoming, an Excluded Asset or (iii) the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the Liens created under any Security Document on any Collateral pursuant to Section 9.02, the Liens on such Collateral created by the Security Documents shall be automatically released.

Any execution and delivery of any such document by the Administrative Agent shall be without recourse to or warranty by any Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.16. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “USA PATRIOT Act”) and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

SECTION 9.17. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document), each Borrower acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Loan Parties, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Arrangers, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, (B) each Loan Party has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) each Loan Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their respective Affiliates is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for any Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) none of the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or their respective Affiliates has any obligation to such Loan Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, except, in the case of the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) each of the Arrangers, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of such Loan Party and any of its Affiliates, and none of the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or any of their respective Affiliates has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to such Loan Party or any of its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower hereby waives and releases on behalf of itself and the other Loan Parties any claims that any Loan Party may have against any of the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

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

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

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

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

SECTION 9.20. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. (a) To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States).

(b) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
