Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all Borrowers, or by each Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the Company, whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein. Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Designated Borrower.

(e) The Company may from time to time, upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), terminate a Designated Borrower’s status as such, provided that there are no outstanding Loans payable by, or Letters of Credit issued for the account of, such Designated Borrower, or other amounts due and payable by such Designated Borrower as of the effective date of such termination; provided further, that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders shall cooperate with any Designated Borrower to amend or replace any Letter of Credit in order to name the Company as the applicant or account party with respect to any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Designated Borrower.

The Company may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) made not later than 35 days prior to the latest Maturity Date in effect hereunder in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility or the USD Revolving Credit Facility (the “Existing Maturity Date”), make up to two requests that each Revolving Credit Lender or each USD Revolving Credit Lender (as applicable) extend such Lender’s Maturity Date in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility or the USD Revolving Credit Facility for an additional period of time equal to exactly one year from the Existing Maturity Date (the date of such request, the “Extension Request Date”) with respect to such Credit Facility, which notice shall set forth the desired effective date (which shall be a Business Day) for such extension (the “Requested Extension Date”) and the desired extended Maturity Date (the “Extended Maturity Date”). Any simultaneous request to extend the Maturity Date of both the Revolving Credit Facility and the USD Revolving Credit Facility to the same Extended Maturity Date shall constitute only one of the two permitted requests pursuant to this Section 2.10(a).

53

(b) Lender Elections to Extend. Each applicable Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given not later than the date (the “Notice Date”) that is 15 days after the Extension Request Date, advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension, and each applicable Lender that determines not to so extend its Maturity Date shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Notice Date) and shall constitute a “Non-Consenting Lender” hereunder, and any applicable Lender that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Consenting Lender with respect to such extension. The election of any applicable Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other applicable Lender to so agree.

(c) Notification by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company of each applicable Lender’s determination under this Section no later than the date 20 days after the Extension Request Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day).

(d) Additional Commitment Lenders. The Company shall have the right to replace each Non-Consenting Lender with, and add as “Revolving Credit Lenders” or “USD Revolving Credit Lenders”, as applicable, under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”) as provided in Section 4.14; provided that each of such Additional Commitment Lenders shall enter into an Assignment and Assumption in connection with any such extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Lender shall undertake a Revolving Credit Commitment or USD Revolving Credit Commitment, as applicable (and, if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Revolving Credit Lender or USD Revolving Credit Lender, its Revolving Credit Commitment or USD Revolving Credit Commitment shall be in addition to any other Revolving Credit Commitment or USD Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender hereunder on such date) from one or more Non-Consenting Lenders. Additional Commitment Lenders shall only become Revolving Credit Lenders or USD Revolving Credit pursuant to Section 4.14 if the extension request is approved pursuant to subsection (e) below.

(e) Minimum Extension Requirement. Solely to the extent the total of either (i) the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders (including the Additional Commitment Lenders) that have agreed to extend their Maturity Date (each, including the Additional Commitment Lenders, an “Extending Revolving Credit Lender”) shall be more than 50% of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments in effect immediately prior to the Requested Extension Date or (ii) the USD Revolving Credit Commitments of the USD Revolving Credit Lenders (including the Additional Commitment Lenders) that have agreed to extend their Maturity Date (each, including the Additional Commitment Lenders, an “Extending USD Revolving Credit Lender”) shall be more than 50% of the Aggregate USD Revolving Commitments in effect immediately prior to the Requested Extension Date, then in either such applicable case, effective as of the Requested Extension Date, the Maturity Date of each Extending Lender shall be extended to the Extended Maturity Date.

(f) Changes to Applicable Percentage. In connection with any extension of the Maturity Date made pursuant to this Section 2.10, the Applicable Percentage applicable to Loans made and to be made by Extending Lenders may be modified without any consent of any Non-Consenting Lender, provided that no such modification shall apply to the Loans of the Non-Consenting Lenders unless the Company and the Administrative Agent (without any requirement of consultation with or approval by any Non-Consenting Lender) determine that such change should apply to the Loans of the Non-Consenting Lenders and either (i) such Non-Consenting Lender has consented to such change (notwithstanding its not consenting to the extension of the Maturity Date) or (ii) such change represents an increase in the Applicable Percentage applicable to the Loans of the Non-Consenting Lenders.

54

(g) Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions. As a condition precedent to such extension, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Borrower and Guarantor dated as of the Requested Extension Date signed by a Responsible Officer of such Person (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Person approving or consenting to such extension and (ii) in the case of the Company, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such extension, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article VI are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Requested Extension Date with the same effect as if made on and as of such date, except for any representation and warranty made as of an earlier date, which representation and warranty shall remain true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and (B) no Default or Event of Default exists. In addition, on the Maturity Date of each Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrowers shall (x) prepay any Revolving Credit Loans or USD Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable, outstanding on such date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.11) to the extent necessary to keep outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or USD Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable, ratable with any revised Revolving Commitment Percentages or USD Revolving Commitment Percentage, as applicable, of the respective Lenders effective as of such date and (y) make such other prepayments of Revolving Loans or USD Revolving Loans (including any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.11) and/or Swingline Loans outstanding on such date and/or cash collateralize Letters of Credit in accordance with, and to the extent necessary to comply with, Section 2.5(b) after giving effect to the reduction in the Commitments to the applicable Credit Facilities occurring on such Maturity Date.

(h) Extension by Additional Lenders. At any time after the effectiveness of an extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 2.10 but prior to the Maturity Date in effect with regard to such Lender prior to it becoming an Extending Lender, any Lender that is originally a Non-Consenting Lender in connection with any extension that becomes effective may, prior to the effectiveness of any assignment of such Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment pursuant to Section 4.14, agree to become an Extending Lender by a writing delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Company, and promptly after receipt of such writing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall be an Extending Lender.

(i) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 4.4, 4.6 or 13.2 to the contrary.

ARTICLE III

55

would exceed the L/C Commitment, (II) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, plus the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Japanese Yen Loans plus the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans, plus the aggregate amount of L/C Obligations would exceed an amount equal to the Aggregate Revolving Commitment or (III) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans plus the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Japanese Yen Loans plus the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans, plus the aggregate amount of L/C Obligations for the account of any Designated Borrower would exceed the applicable Designated Borrower Sublimit.

(b) In addition, the L/C Agent agrees that with respect to Several Letters of Credit as to which any Lender is a Participating Lender and which are issued after L/C Agent’s receipt of the applicable Participating Notice from such Lender, the L/C Agent shall, in reliance on the agreements of the Participating Lenders set forth in Section 3.1(a)(iii), act as a Several Issuing Lender for such Participating Lender. In the event that there are any Participating Lenders with respect to any Several Letter of Credit, the L/C Agent shall constitute the Several Issuing Lender for such Participating Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such Several Letter of Credit in any relevant calculations with respect thereto (including calculations in Section 3.1(a) above).

(d) Neither any Issuing Lender nor any Several Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if (i) such issuance would conflict with, or cause the applicable Issuing Lender, any Several Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any Applicable Law, (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Person related to letters of credit generally, (iii) in the case of Several Letters of Credit, if such Letter of Credit is not substantially in the form of Exhibit H (provided that the L/C Agent may agree to reasonable changes to such form, not adverse in any material respect to the interests of the Lenders) or (iv) in the case of Fronted Letters of Credit, after giving effect thereto, the maximum amount of all Fronted Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender shall exceed Dollar Amount of the L/C Fronting Commitment of such Issuing Lender.

(e) References herein to “issue” and derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include extensions or modifications of any outstanding Letters of Credit, unless the context otherwise requires.

Further, in the event that any Several Issuing Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Lender shall not be obligated to issue any Several Letter of Credit unless the beneficiary, the Company and the Issuing Lender have entered into arrangements with respect to such situation reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender and the Company.

56

SECTION 3.2. Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Company may from time to time request that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the applicable Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office) a Letter of Credit Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the applicable Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the applicable Issuing Lender may reasonably request, which such information shall include (a) in the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, (i) the Permitted Currency in which such Letter of Credit shall be denominated, (ii) whether such Letter of Credit is to be a Fronted Letter of Credit or a Several Letter of Credit (and, in the case of Several Letters of Credit, in the event a Lender advises the L/C Agent that such Lender is a Participating Lender, such Participating Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such Several Letter of Credit will be issued by the L/C Agent as the Several Issuing Lender in reliance on such Participating Lender’s obligation to purchase participations in such amount pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(iii)), (iii) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day), (iv) the amount thereof, (v) the expiry date thereof, (vi) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, (vii) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder, (viii) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder, and (ix) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (b) in the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, (i) the Letter of Credit to be amended, (ii) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day) and (iii) the nature of the proposed amendment. Upon receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the Issuing Lender shall process such Letter of Credit Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall, subject to Section 3.1 and Article V, promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three (3) Business Days after its receipt of the Letter of Credit Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by the Issuing Lender and the Company. The Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Company a copy of such Letter of Credit and promptly notify each Several Issuing Lender (in the case of Several Letters of Credit) and L/C Participant of the issuance and upon request by any applicable Several Issuing Lender or L/C Participant, furnish to such Several Issuing Lender or L/C Participant a copy of such Letter of Credit and the amount of such L/C Participant’s participation therein.

SECTION 3.3. Commissions and Other Charges.

(a) Letter of Credit Commissions. Subject to Section 4.16(g), each Borrower shall pay (or shall cause to be paid) to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata account of the Revolving Credit Lenders, a letter of credit commission with respect to the undrawn Dollar Amount of each Letter of Credit issued for such Borrower’s account at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Percentage with respect to Loans that are Eurocurrency Rate Loans or RFR Loans (determined, in each case, on a per annum basis). For the purposes of computing the amount to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.7. Such commission shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, on the Maturity Date and thereafter on demand of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute to the Revolving Credit Lenders all commissions received pursuant to this Section in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages.

57

(b) Issuance Fee. In addition to the foregoing commission, each Borrower shall pay (or shall cause to be paid) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender an issuance fee equal to (a) in the case of Fronted Letters of Credit, the Dollar Amount of the undrawn face amount of each Fronted Letter of Credit issued for such Borrower’s account at the rate of 0.20% per annum and (b) in the case of Several Letters of Credit, the Dollar Amount of the portion of each such Several Letter of Credit issued for such Borrower’s account provided by the L/C Agent acting as Several Issuing Lender for the relevant Participating Lenders pursuant to Section 3.1(b) at the rate of 0.20% per annum (as if the portion of such Several Letter of Credit provided by the L/C Agent for such Participating Lenders were a Fronted Letter of Credit). Such issuance fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Maturity Date and thereafter on demand of the Administrative Agent.

(c) Other Costs. In addition to the foregoing fees and commissions, each Borrower shall pay or reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender (or cause the applicable Issuing Lender to be paid or reimbursed) for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are reasonably incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit issued for such Borrower’s account.

(d) Payments. The commissions, fees, charges, costs and expenses payable pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall be payable in Dollars.

SECTION 3.4. L/C Participations.

(a) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Commitment Percentage in the Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the applicable Borrower through a Revolving Credit Loan or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender in the applicable Permitted Currency upon demand at the Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed.

(b) Upon becoming aware of any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall notify each L/C Participant of the amount and due date of such required payment and such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender in the applicable Permitted Currency the amount specified on the applicable due date. If any such amount is paid to the Issuing Lender after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender in the applicable Permitted Currency on demand, in addition to such amount, the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the applicable Overnight Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent during the period from and including the date such payment is due to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. A certificate of the Issuing Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. With respect to payment to the Issuing Lender of the unreimbursed amounts described in this Section, if the L/C Participants receive notice that any such payment is due (A) prior to 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due that Business Day, and (B) after 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following Business Day.

58

(c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its Revolving Commitment Percentage of such payment in accordance with this Section, the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Company or otherwise), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.

SECTION 3.5. Reimbursement Obligation of the Company. In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, each Borrower agrees to reimburse (either with the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Loan as provided for in this Section or with funds from other sources), in Same Day Funds in the applicable Permitted Currency in which the Letter of Credit was denominated, the Issuing Lender (for the account of the Several Issuing Lenders in the case of Several Letters of Credit) on each date on which the Issuing Lender notifies the Company of the date and amount of a draft paid under any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower for the amount of the sum of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any amounts referred to in Section 3.3(c) incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment. Unless the Company shall immediately notify the Issuing Lender (and in any event within one (1) Business Day of the date the Company received notice from the Issuing Lender) that the applicable Borrower intends to reimburse the Issuing Lender for such drawing from other sources or funds, the Company shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent requesting that the Lenders make a Revolving Credit Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate on such date in a Dollar Amount equal to the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any amounts referred to in Section 3.3(c) incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment (including, without limitation, any and all costs, fees and other expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender or the Several Issuing Lenders in effecting the payment of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency), and the Revolving Credit Lenders shall make a Revolving Credit Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate in such amount, the proceeds of which shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing Lender and the Several Issuing Lenders, as applicable, for the amount of the related drawing and costs and expenses. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to fund a Revolving Credit Loan in accordance with this Section to reimburse any draft paid under a Letter of Credit and related drawing costs and expenses provided herein is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.4(a) or Article V. If the applicable Borrower has elected to pay the amount of such drawing with funds from other sources and shall fail to reimburse the Issuing Lender or the Several Issuing Lenders, as applicable, as provided above, the unreimbursed amount of such drawing shall bear interest at the rate which would be payable on any outstanding Revolving Credit Loans which are Base Rate Loans which were then overdue from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full.

SECTION 3.6. Exchange Indemnification and Increased Costs. The applicable Borrower shall, upon demand from any Issuing Lender, Several Issuing Lender or L/C Participant, pay to such Issuing Lender, Several Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant, the amount of (i) any loss, expense or cost incurred by such Issuing Lender, Several Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant and (ii) any currency exchange loss, in each case that such Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant sustains as a result of the Company’s (or the applicable Borrower’s) repayment in any Permitted Currency other

59

than the Permitted Currency in which the applicable Letter of Credit was initially denominated. A certificate of such Issuing Lender, Several Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender, Several Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.

SECTION 3.7. Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligations under this Article III (including, without limitation, the Reimbursement Obligation) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which such Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any Several Issuing Lender or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. Each Borrower also agrees that the Issuing Lender, the Several Issuing Lenders and the L/C Participants shall not be responsible for, and any Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among any Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of any Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. Neither the Issuing Lender nor any Several Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions caused by the Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final nonappealable judgment. Each Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct shall be binding on such Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to such Borrower. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender and any Several Issuing Lender to the applicable Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

SECTION 3.8. Effect of Letter of Credit Application. To the extent that any provision of any Letter of Credit Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall apply.

SECTION 3.9. The L/C Agent. The L/C Agent is hereby authorized to execute and deliver each Several Letter of Credit and each amendment to a Several Letter of Credit on behalf of each Several Issuing Lender with respect to such Several Letter of Credit. The L/C Agent shall use the Revolving Commitment Percentage of a Several Issuing Lender under each Several Letter of Credit to determine its “Commitment Share” as set forth in the applicable Several Letter of Credit provided that the L/C Agent shall be severally (and not jointly) liable for an amount equal to the Revolving Commitment Percentage of each Participating Lender. The L/C Agent shall not amend any Several Letter of Credit to change the “Commitment Shares” of a Lender or add or delete a Lender liable thereunder unless such amendment is done in connection with an assignment in accordance with Section 13.10, a change in the Lenders and/or the Revolving Commitment Percentages as a result of any increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.7 or any other addition or replacement of a Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or a change in status of a Lender as a Participating Lender. Each Lender hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the L/C

60

Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of such Lender with full power of substitution and revocation in its own name or in the name of the L/C Agent to issue, execute and deliver, as the case may be, each Several Letter of Credit and each amendment to a Several Letter of Credit and to carry out the purposes of this Agreement with respect to Several Letters of Credit. Upon request, each Lender shall execute such powers of attorney or other documents as any beneficiary of any Several Letter of Credit may reasonably request to evidence the authority of the L/C Agent to execute and deliver such Several Letter of Credit and any amendment or other modification thereto on behalf of the Lenders.

SECTION 3.10. Reporting of Letter of Credit Information and L/C Commitment. At any time that there is an Issuing Lender that is not also the financial institution acting as Administrative Agent, then (a) on the last Business Day of each calendar month, (b) on each date that a Letter of Credit is amended, terminated or otherwise expires, (c) on each date that a Letter of Credit is issued or the expiry date of a Letter of Credit is extended, and (d) upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender (or, in the case of clauses (b), (c) or (d) of this Section, the applicable Issuing Lender) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a report setting forth in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent information (including, without limitation, any reimbursement, cash collateral, or termination in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender) with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender that is outstanding hereunder. In addition, each Issuing Lender shall provide notice to the Administrative Agent of its L/C Fronting Commitment, or any change thereto, promptly upon it becoming an Issuing Lender or making any change to its L/C Fronting Commitment. No failure on the part of any Issuing Lender to provide such information pursuant to this Section 3.10 shall limit the obligations of the Borrower or any Revolving Credit Lender hereunder with respect to its reimbursement and participation obligations hereunder.

(d) Interest Payment and Computation. Interest on (i) each Base Rate Loan, Japanese Yen Loan and Swingline Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter commencing March 31, 2011, (ii) each Daily Simple RFR Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar month and (iii) on each Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Term SOFR Loan shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, and if such Interest Period extends over three (3) months, on each day prior to the last day of such Interest Period that occurs at three-month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period; provided, that each such three-month interval payment day shall be the immediately succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day, unless such day is not a Business Day but is a day of the relevant month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, in which case such day shall be the immediately preceding Business Day (each such date referenced in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), an “Interest Payment Date”); provided that (i) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Term SOFR Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (ii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Term SOFR Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. Interest on Eurocurrency Rate Loans, RFR Loans (except for Alternative Currency Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling), Base Rate Loans not based on the Prime Rate, Swingline Loans denominated in Dollars and all fees payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed, and interest on Base Rate Loans based on the Prime Rate, Japanese Yen Loans, Swingline Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling and Alternative Currency Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling shall be computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed.

(e) Maximum Rate. In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest under this Agreement charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in respect of any Borrower exceed the highest rate permissible under any Applicable Law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such a court determines that the Lenders have charged or received interest hereunder or under any other Loan Document in respect of any Borrower in excess of the highest applicable rate, the rate in effect hereunder with respect to such Borrower shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law and the Lenders shall at the Administrative Agent’s option (i) promptly refund to such Borrower any interest received by the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful rate or (ii) apply such excess to the principal balance of the Obligations on a pro rata basis.

(f) Basis of Accrual. Subject to Section 1.8 hereof, if the basis of accrual of interest or fees expressed in this Agreement with respect to the currency of any state that becomes a Participating Member State, in judgment of the Administrative Agent, shall not be available because interest rate quotes for the applicable national currency unit are no longer provided, or shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest or fees in respect of the Euro, such convention or practice shall replace such expressed basis effective as of and from the date on which such state becomes a Participating Member State; provided that if any Revolving Credit Loan in the currency of such state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Revolving Credit Loan, at the end of the then current Interest Period.

63

SECTION 4.2. Notice and Manner of Conversion or Continuation of Revolving Credit Loans and USD Revolving Credit Loans.

Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Company shall have the option to (a) convert at any time following the third Business Day after the Closing Date all or any portion of any outstanding Base Rate Loans in a principal amount equal to $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser amount as shall represent all of the Base Rate Loans then outstanding) into one or more Term SOFR Loans, (b) upon the expiration of any Interest Period, (i) convert all or any part of its outstanding Term SOFR Loans in a principal amount equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser amount as shall represent all of the Term SOFR Loans then outstanding) into Base Rate Loans or (ii) continue any Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans as Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans, as applicable, of the same currency and (c) in the case of a Daily Simple RFR Loan, upon the occurrence of the Interest Payment Date therefor, continue any such Daily Simple RFR Loans as Daily Simple RFR Loans. Whenever the Company desires to convert or continue Revolving Credit Loans or USD Revolving Credit Loans as provided above, the Company shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable prior written notice in the form attached as Exhibit E (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) or telephonic notice (followed by prompt delivery of such Notice of Conversion/Continuation) not later than (i) 11:00 a.m. (time of Administrative Agent’s Correspondent) four (4) Eurocurrency Banking Days (with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency), (ii) 11:00 a.m. (Charlotte time) three (3) RFR Business Days (with respect to any Term SOFR Loan) and (iii) 11:00 a.m. (Charlotte time) five (5) RFR Business Days (with respect to any RFR Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency), in each case, before the day on which a proposed conversion or continuation of such Loan is to be effective specifying (A) the Revolving Credit Loans or USD Revolving Credit Loans to be converted or continued, and, in the case of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Term SOFR Loan to be converted or continued, the last day of the Interest Period therefor, (B) the currency in which such Revolving Credit Loan is denominated, (C) the effective date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day), (D) the principal amount of such Revolving Credit Loans or USD Revolving Credit Loans to be converted or continued, and (E) the Interest Period to be applicable to such converted or continued Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Term SOFR Loan. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Revolving Credit Lenders or the USD Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, of such Notice of Conversion/Continuation. If the Company fails to deliver a timely Notice of Conversion/Continuation with respect to a Daily Simple RFR Loan prior to the Interest Payment Date therefor, then, unless such RFR Loan is repaid as provided herein, the Company shall be deemed to have selected that such RFR Loan shall automatically be converted to a Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount of the applicable Alternative Currency, if applicable) as of such Interest Payment Date. If the Company fails to deliver a timely Notice of Conversion/Continuation with respect to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a Term SOFR Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Term SOFR Loan, as applicable, is repaid as provided herein, the Company shall be deemed to have selected that such Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Term SOFR Loan, as applicable, shall automatically be converted to a Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar EquivalentAmount of the applicable Alternative Currency) at the end of such Interest Period.

The Commitment Fee shall be payable

Any payment received after such time but before 2:00 p.m. (the time of the Administrative Agent’s Correspondent) on such day shall be deemed a payment on such date for the purposes of Section 11.1, but for all other purposes shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day.

(e) Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.4, if there exists a Defaulting Lender each payment by any Borrower to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.16(b).

SECTION 4.5. Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a) Extensions of Credit. The Extensions of Credit made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Extensions of Credit made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Revolving Credit Note, USD Revolving Credit Note, Japanese Yen Note and/or Swingline Note, as applicable, which shall evidence such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans, USD Revolving Credit Loans, Japanese Yen Loans and/or Swingline Loan, as applicable, in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Notes and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

66

SECTION 4.6. Adjustments.

If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations (other than pursuant to Section 4.11, 4.12, 4.13 or 13.3 hereof) greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, 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 other amounts owing them; provided that

(a) 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

(b) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) 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 Japanese Yen Loans, Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary 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 in any obligation of such Borrower pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of setoff 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.

SECTION 4.7. Nature of Obligations of Lenders Regarding Extensions of Credit; Assumption by the Administrative Agent.

The obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement to make the Loans and issue or participate in Letters of Credit are several and are not joint or joint and several. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to a proposed borrowing date or as of a proposed borrowing time, as applicable, that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of the amount to be borrowed on such date or time (which notice shall not release such Lender of its obligations hereunder), the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on such proposed borrowing date or as of such proposed borrowing time in accordance with Section 2.4(b), and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date or time a corresponding amount. If such amount is made available to the Administrative Agent on a date or time after such borrowing date or time, as applicable, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount, until paid, equal to (a) with respect to any Loan denominated in Dollars, the product of (i) the amount not made available by such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, times (ii) the Overnight Rate during such period as determined by the Administrative Agent, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and including such borrowing date or time to the date on which such amount not made available by such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof shall have become immediately available to the Administrative Agent and the denominator of which is 360 and (b) with respect to any Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, the amount not made available by such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof and interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Administrative Agent’s aggregate marginal cost (including the cost of maintaining any required reserves or deposit insurance and of any fees, penalties, overdraft charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent as a result of the failure to deliver funds hereunder) of carrying such amount. A certificate of the Administrative Agent with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be

67

conclusive, absent manifest error. If such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such borrowing under such Credit Facility is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days after such borrowing date or time, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount made available by the Administrative Agent with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder, on demand, from the applicable Borrower. The failure of any Lender to make available its Commitment Percentage under the applicable Credit Facility of any Loan requested hereunder shall not relieve it or any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Commitment Percentage of such Loan available on the borrowing date or as of such borrowing time, as applicable, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its Commitment Percentage of such Loan available on the borrowing date or as of such borrowing time, as applicable.

SECTION 4.8. Redenomination of Alternative Currency Loans.

(a) Conversion to the Base Rate. If any Alternative Currency Loan is required to bear interest based at the Base Rate rather than the Eurocurrency Rate or an RFR, as applicable, pursuant to Section 4.1(c), Section 4.10 or any other applicable provision hereof, such Loan shall be deemed funded in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount of such Alternative Currency Loan, all subject to the provisions of Section 2.4(b). The applicable Borrower shall reimburse the Lenders upon any such conversion for any amounts required to be paid under Section 4.11 and Section 4.12(d).

(b) Redenomination of Loans. Subject to Section 1.8 hereof, any Revolving Credit Loan to be denominated in the currency of the applicable Participating Member State shall be made in the Euro.

(c) Redenomination of Obligations. Subject to Section 1.8 hereof, any obligation of any party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document which has been denominated in the currency of a Participating Member State shall be redenominated into the Euro.

(d) Further Assurances. The terms and provisions of this Agreement will be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as determined by the Administrative Agent to reflect the implementation of the EMU in any Participating Member State or any market conventions relating to the fixing and/or calculation of interest being changed or replaced and to reflect market practice at that time, and subject thereto, to put the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Credit Lenders and the Borrowers in the same position, so far as possible, that they would have been if such implementation had not occurred. In connection therewith, each Borrower agrees, at the request of the Administrative Agent, at the time of or at any time following the implementation of the EMU in any Participating Member State or any market conventions relating to the fixing and/or calculation of interest being changed or replaced, to enter into an agreement amending this Agreement in a mutually satisfactory manner.

SECTION 4.9. Regulatory Limitation.

In the event, as a result of increases in the value of Alternative Currencies against the Dollar or for any other reason, the obligation of any of the Lenders to make Loans (taking into account the Dollar Amount of the Obligations and all other indebtedness required to be aggregated under 12 U.S.C.A. §84, as amended, the regulations promulgated thereunder and any other Applicable Law) is determined by such Lender to exceed its then applicable legal lending limit under 12 U.S.C.A. §84, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other Applicable Law, the amount of additional Extensions of Credit such Lender shall be obligated to make or issue or participate in hereunder shall immediately be reduced to the maximum amount which such Lender may legally advance (as determined by such Lender), the obligation of each of the remaining Lenders hereunder shall be proportionately reduced, based on their applicable Commitment Percentages to the relevant Credit Facility and, to the extent necessary under such laws and regulations (as determined by each of the Lenders, with respect to the applicability of such laws and regulations to itself), and the Company shall reduce, or cause to be reduced, complying to the extent practicable with the remaining provisions hereof, the Obligations outstanding hereunder by an amount sufficient to comply with such maximum amounts.

68

SECTION 4.10. Changed Circumstances.

(a) Circumstances Affecting Eurocurrency Rates, RFRs and Alternative Currency Availability. Subject to clause (c) below, in connection with any RFR Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan, a request therefor, a conversion to or a continuation thereof or otherwise, if for any reason (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that (x) if Daily Simple RFR is utilized in any calculations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Obligations, interest, fees, commissions or other amounts, reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining Daily Simple RFR pursuant to the definition thereof or (y) if Adjusted Term SOFR or a Eurocurrency Rate is utilized in any calculations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Obligations, interest, fees, commissions or other amounts, reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted Term SOFR or such Eurocurrency Rate, as applicable, for the applicable Currency and the applicable Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan, as applicable, on or prior to the first day of such Interest Period, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that a fundamental change has occurred in the foreign exchange or interbank markets with respect to an applicable Alternative Currency (including changes in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls), (iii) with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that deposits are not being offered in the applicable Currency to banks in the London or other applicable offshore interbank market for the applicable Currency, amount or Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or (iv) the Required Lenders shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that (x) if Daily Simple RFR is utilized in any calculations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Obligations, interest, fees, commissions or other amounts, Daily Simple RFR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans or (y) if Adjusted Term SOFR or a Eurocurrency Rate is utilized in any calculations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Obligations, interest, fees, commissions or other amounts, Adjusted Term SOFR or such Eurocurrency Rate, as applicable, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans during the applicable Interest Period and, in the case of (x) or (y), the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent, then, in each case, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Company. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Company, any obligation of the Lenders to make RFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as applicable, in each such Currency, and any right of the Borrowers to convert any Loan in each such Currency (if applicable) to or continue any Loan as an RFR Loan or a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, as applicable, in each such Currency, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected RFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans or, in the case of Term SOFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, the affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (iv), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (A) the Company may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of RFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans in each such affected Currency (to the extent of the affected RFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans or, in the case of Term SOFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, (I) in the case of any request for a borrowing of an affected Term SOFR Loan, the Company will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (II) in the case of any request for a borrowing of an affected RFR Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan in an Alternative Currency, then such request shall be ineffective and (B)(I) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate

69

Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period and (II) any outstanding affected Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, at the Company’s election, shall either (x) be converted into Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount of such Alternative Currency) immediately or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period or (y) be prepaid in full immediately or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period; provided that if no election is made by the Company by the date that is the earlier of (x) three (3) Business Days after receipt by the Company of such notice or (y) with respect to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan the last day of the current Interest Period, the Company shall be deemed to have elected clause (x) above. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest (except with respect to any prepayment or conversion of a Daily Simple RFR Loan) on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.11.

Subject to clause (c) below, if for any reason, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (after consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall determine that (i) a fundamental change has occurred in the foreign exchange or interbank markets with respect to any Alternative Currency (including, without limitation, changes in national or international financial, political, or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls) or (ii) it has become otherwise materially impractical for the Administrative Agent, the Japanese Yen Lender or the Lenders to make such Loan in an Alternative Currency, then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Company. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company that such circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders under the applicable Credit Facility to make Alternative Currency Loans or Japanese Yen Loans, as applicable, and the right of the Company to convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as an Alternative Currency Loan or Japanese Yen Loan, as applicable, under the applicable Credit Facility shall be suspended, and the applicable Borrower shall (A) in the case of any Alternative Currency Loan, either (1) repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of each such Alternative Currency Loan or Japanese Yen Loan, as applicable, under the applicable Credit Facility together with accrued interest thereon or (2) convert the then outstanding principal amount thereof to a Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars as of the last day of such Interest Period and (B) with respect to Japanese Yen Loans, shall repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of each such Japanese Yen Loan, together with accrued interest thereon, immediately upon the request of the Japanese Yen Lender.

(b) Laws Affecting Eurocurrency Rate or RFR Availability. If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any Daily Simple RFR Loan, Term SOFR Loan, Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or Japanese Yen Loan, or to determine or charge interest based upon any applicable RFR, Daily Simple RFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, the Eurocurrency Rate or the Eurocurrency Base Rate, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Company and the other Lenders (an “Illegality Notice”). Thereafter, until each affected Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent notifies the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist with respect to the applicable Credit Facility, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make RFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or Loans as to which the interest rate is determined with reference to any applicable RFR, Daily Simple RFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, the Eurocurrency Rate or the Eurocurrency Base Rate) or Japanese Yen Loans, as applicable, and the right of the Company to convert any Loan to, or continue any Loan as, an RFR Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan (or Loan as to which the interest rate is

determined with reference to any applicable RFR, Daily Simple RFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, the Eurocurrency Rate or the Eurocurrency Base Rate) or Japanese Yen Loan, as applicable, shall be suspended and (ii) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”. Upon receipt of an Illegality Notice, (A) the Borrowers shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, (I) convert all Term SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans or (II) convert all RFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an affected Alternative Currency to Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount of such Alternative Currency) (in each case, if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”), (1) with respect to Daily Simple RFR Loans, on the Interest Payment Date therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such Daily Simple RFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Daily Simple RFR Loans to such day or (2) with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans, as applicable, to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans, as applicable, to such day, and (B) with respect to Japanese Yen Loans, the Borrowers shall repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of each such Japanese Yen Loan, together with accrued interest thereon, immediately upon the request of the Japanese Yen Lender. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest (except with respect to any prepayment or conversion of a Daily Simple RFR Loan) on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.11.

(c) Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(i) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event with respect to any Benchmark, the Administrative Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement to replace such Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrowers so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 4.10(c)(i) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(ii) Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement (including the amendments to this Agreement that became effective on the Amendment No. 11 Effective Date and Amendment No. 12 Effective Date), the Administrative Agent will have the right, in consultation with the Company, to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

71

(iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 4.10(c)(iv). 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 4.10(c), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 4.10(c).

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

(v) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a given Benchmark, (A) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of RFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Swingline Loans, as applicable, in each case, to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period denominated in the applicable Currency and, failing that, (I) in the case of any request for any affected Term SOFR Loans, if applicable, the Company will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (II) in the case of any request for any affected RFR Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan, in each case, in an Alternative Currency, if applicable, then such request shall be ineffective and (B)(I) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans, if applicable, will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period and (II) any outstanding affected RFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, in each case, denominated in an Alternative Currency, at the Company’s election, shall either (1) be converted into Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar EquivalentAmount of such Alternative Currency) immediately or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period or (2) be prepaid in full immediately or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period; provided that, with respect to any Daily Simple RFR Loan, if no election is made by the Company by the date that is three (3) Business Days after receipt by the

72

Company of such notice, the Company shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) above; provided, further that, with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, if no election is made by the Company by the earlier of (x) the date that is three (3) Business Days after receipt by the Company of such notice and (y) the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Company shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) above. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest (except with respect to any prepayment or conversion of a Daily Simple RFR Loan) on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.11. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to any Benchmark or at any time that a tenor for any then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark that is the subject of such Benchmark Unavailability Period or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.

SECTION 4.11. Indemnity.

Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify each of the Lenders against any loss or expense (including, without limitation, any foreign exchange costs and any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds or from any fees payable, and excluding loss of profits or anticipated profits) which may arise, be attributable to or result due to or as a consequence of (a) any failure by such Borrower to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder in connection with a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or any RFR Loan, (b) any failure of such Borrower to borrow, continue or convert on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, (c) any payment, prepayment or conversion of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or any Term SOFR Loan by such Borrower on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor or, in the case of any Daily Simple RFR Loan, on a date other than on the Interest Payment Date therefor, (d) any failure of such Borrower to prepay any RFR Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a date specified therefor in any Notice of Prepayment, or (e) the assignment of any Daily Simple RFR Loan other than on the Interest Payment Date therefor or any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Term SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.14(a). In the case of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the amount of such loss or expense shall be determined, in the applicable Lender’s sole discretion, based upon the assumption that such Lender funded its Commitment Percentage of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans under the relevant Credit Facility in the London or other applicable offshore interbank market for such Currency, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan was in fact so funded, and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods which such Lender deems appropriate and practical. A certificate of such Lender setting forth the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the Company through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.

SECTION 4.12. Increased Costs.

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or advances, loans or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurocurrency Rate);

73

(ii) subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Japanese Yen Loan, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Japanese Yen Loan or a Letter of Credit or any RFR Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 4.13 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of any Excluded Tax or any UK Tax Deduction or German Tax Deduction excluded from gross-up by clause (i) or (ii) of Section 4.13(a) payable by such Lender); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the London or other applicable interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement, RFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Japanese Yen Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit, or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting into or maintaining any RFR Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan or any Japanese Yen Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Japanese Yen Loan or Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in any Japanese Yen Loan or to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of such Lender, the Company shall promptly pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) to any such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit, Japanese Yen Loans or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender or the Several Issuing Lenders, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender, the Company shall promptly pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Company shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Exchange Indemnification and Increased Costs. Each Borrower shall, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent or any applicable Lender, the amount of (i) any loss, expense or cost incurred by the Administrative Agent or any applicable Lender, (ii) any interest or any other return, including principal, foregone by the Administrative Agent or any applicable Lender as a result of the introduction of, change over to or operation of the Euro, or (iii) any currency exchange loss, that the Administrative Agent or any Lender sustains as a result of any payment being made by such Borrower in a currency other than that originally extended to such Borrower or as a result of any other currency exchange loss incurred by the Administrative Agent or any applicable Lender under this Agreement in respect of extensions of credit to such Borrower. A certificate of the Administrative Agent setting forth the basis for determining such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.

74

(e) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

SECTION 4.13. Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes; provided that if any Indemnified Taxes shall be required by Applicable Law to be deducted from any payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document, then (x) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or applicable Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (y) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (z) such Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a payment shall not be required to be increased pursuant to this Section 4.13(a) where:

(i) any United Kingdom Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld (a “UK Tax Deduction”) from a payment of interest hereunder or under any other Loan Document if on the date on which the payment falls due:

(A) the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a UK Tax Deduction if it was a UK Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender is not or has ceased to be a UK Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or Treaty, or any published practice or concession of any relevant taxing authority; or

(B) the relevant Lender is a UK Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of sub-paragraph (b) of the definition of UK Qualifying Lender and that relevant Lender has not given a Tax Confirmation to the Company where the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a UK Tax Deduction if that Lender had given a Tax Confirmation to the Company or the relevant UK Borrower, on the basis that the Tax Confirmation would have enabled that UK Borrower to have formed a reasonable belief that the payment was an “excepted payment” for the purpose of section 930 of the Taxes Act; or

(C) the relevant Lender is a UK Qualifying Lender solely under sub-paragraph (b) of the definition of UK Qualifying Lender; an officer of HM Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) has given (and not revoked) a direction (a “Direction”) under section 931 of the Taxes Act (as that provision has effect on the date on which the relevant Lender became a Lender) which relates to that payment and that Lender has received from a UK Borrower or the Company a certified copy of that Direction; and the payment could have been made to the Lender without any UK Tax Deduction in the absence of that Direction; or

75

(D) the relevant Lender is a Treaty Lender and the party making the payment is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender without the UK Tax Deduction had that Lender complied with its obligations under Section 4.13(e) and (f);

(ii) any German Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld (a “German Tax Deduction”) from a payment of interest hereunder or under any other Loan Document if on the date on which the payment falls due:

(A) the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a German Tax Deduction if it was a German Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender is not or has ceased to be a German Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or Treaty, or any published practice or concession of any relevant taxing authority; or

(B) the relevant Lender is a Treaty Lender and the party making the payment is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender without the German Tax Deduction had that Lender cooperated in completing any procedural formalities necessary for that party to obtain authorization to make the payment without a German Tax Deduction.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the applicable Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, except for any Other Taxes imposed on any assignment or participation pursuant to Section 13.10.

(c) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The applicable Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower under any Loan Document or otherwise imposed in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, 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; provided that if the Company reasonably believes that such Indemnified Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company (at the Company’s expense) to obtain a refund of such Indemnified Taxes (in cash or as a credit against another existing tax liability), the benefit of which refund shall be returned to the Company (or applicable Borrower) to the extent provided in Section 4.13(g). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability (along with a copy of any applicable documents from the Internal Revenue Service or other Governmental Authority that asserts such claim as to Indemnified Taxes) delivered to the Company by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by a 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.

76

(e) Status of Lenders. Each Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law (with respect to documentation prescribed by the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany) or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent (with respect to all other documentation), such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit (once filed with the relevant Governmental Authority where so required) such payments under this Agreement to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding and in delivering such properly completed and executed documentation to the Company each such Foreign Lender shall be deemed to have complied with its obligations as set out in this sentence. The Company shall timely file such documentation with the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with and as required by Applicable Law within 10 days of receipt. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the first sentence of this Section 4.13(e), the completion, execution and submission of such documentation shall not be required if in the Lender’s 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, provided that this sentence shall not apply to any applicable documentation prescribed by Applicable Law in the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation 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 United States backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Foreign Lender (determined for this purpose solely in relation to the Company) shall 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 request of the Company or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so):

(i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, or

(ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, or

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of such Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

(iv) any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit such Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(f) UK Status of Lenders.

(i) Nothing in Section 4.13(e) shall require a Treaty Lender to:

(A) register under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme;

77

(B) apply the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme to any Loan if it has so registered; or

(C) file Treaty forms if it (x) has included an indication that it wishes the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme to apply to this Agreement in accordance with paragraph (ii) or (iv) below; (y) notified the Company or Administrative Agent of its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence pursuant to paragraph (ii) or (iv) below; and (z) the Borrower making that payment has not complied with its obligations under paragraphs (iii) or (v) below. Where a Borrower has not been able to comply with its obligations under paragraphs (iii) or (v) due to failure of the Administrative Agent or the relevant Lender to provide the indication (including the scheme reference numbers and jurisdiction of tax residence) described in paragraphs (ii) or (iv) (as the case may be), such inability shall not constitute an Event of Default.

(ii) A Treaty Lender which becomes a Party to this Agreement on the date on which this Agreement is entered into that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall make an indication to that effect by providing its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence to the Administrative Agent or the Company on or before the date of this Agreement.

(iii) Where a Lender provides the indication described in paragraph (ii) above;

(A) each UK Borrower shall file a duly completed form DTTP2 in respect of such Lender with HMRC within 30 days of the date of this Agreement (provided that, where the indication has been given solely to the Administrative Agent, such UK Borrower received such indication in a sufficiently timely manner) and shall promptly provide the Lender with a copy of that filing; and

(B) each Borrower that becomes a UK Borrower after the date of this Agreement, shall to the extent that Lender is making a Commitment available to that Borrower, file a duly completed form DTTP2 in respect of such Lender with HMRC within 30 days of such Borrower becoming a party to this Agreement and shall promptly provide the Lender with a copy of that filing.

(iv) A Lender that becomes a party to this Agreement after the date (the “Relevant Date”) of this Agreement and is a Treaty Lender that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes for that scheme to apply to this Agreement shall include an indication to that effect by providing its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence to the Company or the Administrative Agent in the documents it executes.

(v) Where a Lender provides the indication described in paragraph (iv):

(A) each UK Borrower which is a Party as a Borrower as at the Relevant Date shall, to the extent that Lender becomes a Lender under Commitments made available to that Borrower file a duly completed form DTTP2 with HMRC within 30 days of that Relevant Date (provided that, where the indication has been given solely to the Administrative Agent, such UK Borrower receives such indication in a sufficiently timely manner,) and shall promptly provide the Lender with a copy of that filing ;and

78

(B) each Borrower that becomes a UK Borrower after the Relevant Date, shall to the extent that Lender is making a Commitment available to that Borrower, file a duly completed form DTTP2 in respect of such Lender with HMRC within 30 days of such Borrower becoming a party to this Agreement and shall promptly provide the Lender with a copy of that filing.

(vi) If a Lender has not:

(A) included an indication to the effect that it wishes the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme to apply to this Agreement in accordance with paragraphs (ii) or (iv) above; or

(B) notified the Company or Administrative Agent of its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence pursuant to paragraph (ii) or (iv) above; then

no Borrower shall file any form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Lender’s Commitment(s) or its participation in any Loan.

(vii) A Lender which becomes a Party to this Agreement on the date on which this Agreement is entered into that is a UK Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of sub-paragraph (b) of the definition of UK Qualifying Lender gives a Tax Confirmation to the Company by entering into the Agreement. Such a Lender shall promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent if there is any change in the position from that set out in the Tax Confirmation. A Person that hereafter becomes a party to this Agreement as a Lender pursuant to Section 13.10 that is a UK Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of sub-paragraph (b) of the definition of UK Qualifying Lender shall provide a Tax Confirmation in the forms and certificates provided in accordance with this Section which it executes by including whether it falls within sub-paragraph (b)(i), (ii) or (iii) of the definition of UK Qualifying Lender. Such a Lender shall promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent if there is any change in the position from that set out in the Tax Confirmation.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or a Lender reasonably determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of, or a credit with respect to, any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to such refund or credit (only to the extent such credit is realized) (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or credit); provided that each Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender 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 the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.

79

(h) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company (or any Designated Borrower that is a Domestic Subsidiary, as applicable) and the Administrative Agent to comply with their respective 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. To the extent that the relevant documentation provided pursuant to this paragraph is rendered obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect as a result of changes in circumstances with respect to the status of a Lender, such Lender shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent revised and/or updated documentation sufficient for the Company and the Administrative Agent to confirm the compliance of the Company (or any Designated Borrower that is a Domestic Subsidiary, as applicable), the Administrative Agent, and such Lender with their respective obligations under FATCA and/or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold under FATCA. Solely for purposes of this paragraph (h), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the effective date hereof, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to treat) the Loans as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

(i) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for any Taxes (but, in the case of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes, only to the extent that any Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so) attributable to such Lender that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document (or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source) against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (i).

(j) Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of each Borrower contained in this Section shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments.

SECTION 4.14. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender other than the Administrative Agent delivers a notice to the Company under Section 4.10 or requests compensation under Section 4.12, or requires any Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.13, then such Lender shall, at the request of the Company, use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would avoid the circumstances giving rise to the need to give notice under Section 4.10 or eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.12 or Section 4.13, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Company hereby agrees to pay (or cause to be paid) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

80

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.12, or if 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 4.13, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 4.14(a), or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Company 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, and consents required by, Section 13.10), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 4.12 or Section 4.13) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that

(i) the Company or its designee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 13.10,

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 4.13) 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),

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.13, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter,

(iv) in the case of any such assignment of the rights, interests and obligations of a Non-Consenting Lender, such assignee has agreed to consent to the applicable amendment, modification, waiver or termination, and

(v) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Each party hereto agrees that (x) an assignment required pursuant to this Section 4.14 may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and (y) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to and be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender or the Administrative Agent, provided, further that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.

81

SECTION 4.15. Rounding and Other Consequential Changes.

Subject to Section 1.8 hereof, without prejudice and in addition to any method of conversion or rounding prescribed by any EMU Legislation and without prejudice to the respective obligations of the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to the Borrowers under or pursuant to this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, each provision of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the right to combine currencies to effect a set-off, shall be subject to such reasonable changes of interpretation as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction of or change over to the Euro in Participating Member States.

SECTION 4.16. Defaulting Lenders.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(a) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 13.2 and the definition of Required Lender.

(b) Reallocation of Payments. 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, or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.4), 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 (including amounts owed in its capacity as a L/C Participant) to the Japanese Yen Lender, Issuing Lender, the L/C Agent and/or a Swingline Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the Japanese Yen Lender, Issuing Lender, the L/C Agent and/or a Swingline Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any then outstanding Japanese Yen Loan, Swingline Loan or any Letter of Credit as to which it is a participant in Japanese Yen Loans, a Several Issuing Lender or an L/C Participant; 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 non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default under Section 11.1(a), (b), (i) or (j) hereof 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; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (i) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any USD Revolving Credit Loans, Revolving Credit Loans or funded participations in Japanese Yen Loans, Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (ii) such USD Revolving Credit Loans, Revolving Credit Loans or funded participations in Japanese Yen Loans, Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.3 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the USD Revolving Credit Loans or Revolving Credit Loans (as applicable) of, and funded participations in Japanese Yen Loans, Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit owed

82

to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis (among the relevant Credit Facilities and among the obligations within such relevant Credit Facilities) prior to being applied to the payment of any USD Revolving Credit Loans or Revolving Credit Loans of, or funded participations in Japanese Yen Loans, Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit owed to, such Defaulting Lender. 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 4.16(b) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(c) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Japanese Yen Loans, Swingline Loans or Fronted Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.2(b), Section 2.3(b) and Section 3.4, the “Revolving Commitment Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; provided that the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to issue, acquire, refinance or fund participations in Japanese Yen Loans, Fronted Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (A) the Revolving Credit Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (B) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of that Lender and the L/C Obligations of that Lender with respect to Several Letters of Credit and funded participations in Fronted Letters of Credit and Japanese Yen Loans. Solely to the extent that a Defaulting Lender is a Participating Lender with respect to any Several Letter of Credit, the foregoing provisions with respect to the obligations of non-Defaulting Lenders to acquire or fund participations in Fronted Letters of Credit from the Issuing Lender for such Fronted Letter of Credit shall be applicable mutatis mutandis to the determination of their obligations to acquire or fund participations in such Several Letter of Credit from the L/C Agent acting as Several Issuing Lender for such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Several Letter of Credit (i.e., subject to the proviso above, the non-Defaulting Lenders shall be obligated to acquire or fund such participations from the L/C Agent to the extent of their Revolving Commitment Percentages (as adjusted hereby) of the obligations of such Defaulting Lender to the L/C Agent as a Participating Lender in respect of such Several Letter of Credit). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event at any time, after giving effect to this Section 4.16(c), shall any Lender’s aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans, aggregate amount of L/C Obligations and aggregate amount of participation obligations with respect to Swingline Loans and Japanese Yen Loans exceed such Lender’s Commitment.

(d) Cash Collateral for Letters of Credit. Promptly on demand by the Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent from time to time, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure with respect to the Issuing Lender (after giving effect to Section 4.16(c)) on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender (and such cash collateral shall be in Dollars). Any such cash collateral shall be deposited in a separate account with the Administrative Agent, subject to the exclusive dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, as collateral (solely for the benefit of the Issuing Lender) for the payment and performance of each Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of outstanding L/C Obligations. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Lender immediately for each Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of any drawing under any Letter of Credit which has not otherwise been reimbursed by the Borrowers or such Defaulting Lender. In any event, the Company shall have at least twenty (20) Business Days after any demand to provide the cash collateral required under this Section 4.16(d).

(e) Prepayment of Swingline Loans. Promptly on demand by any Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent from time to time, the Company shall prepay Swingline Loans in an amount of all Fronting Exposure with respect to such Swingline Lender (after giving effect to Section 4.16(c)). In any event, the Company shall have at least twenty (20) Business Days after any demand to make any prepayment required under this Section 4.16(e).

83

(f) Prepayment of Japanese Yen Loans. Promptly on demand by the Japanese Yen Lender or the Administrative Agent from time to time, the Company shall prepay Japanese Yen Loans in an amount of all Fronting Exposure with respect to the Japanese Yen Lender (after giving effect to Section 4.16(c)). In any event, the Company shall have at least twenty (20) Business Days after any demand to make any prepayment required under this Section 4.16(f).

(g) Certain Fees. For any period during which any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender (i) shall not be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 4.3 (and the Company shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender) and (ii) shall not be entitled to receive any letter of credit commissions pursuant to Section 3.3(a) otherwise payable to the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided cash collateral or other credit support arrangements satisfactory to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 4.16(d), but instead, the Company shall pay to the non-Defaulting Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility the amount of such letter of credit commissions in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 4.16(c), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the Issuing Lender for its own account.

(h) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Japanese Yen Lender, each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Lender agree in writing in their respective sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), (i) that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, outstanding Swingline Loans and/or outstanding USD Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable, of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the USD Revolving Credit Loans, the Revolving Credit Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the applicable Lenders under the relevant Credit Facility in accordance with their Commitment Percentages under the relevant Credit Facility (without giving effect to Section 4.16(c)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Company while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender and (ii) all cash collateral provided by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 4.16(d) shall thereafter be promptly returned to the Borrowers.

SECTION 4.17. Sustainability Adjustments.

(a) Following the date on which the Company provides a Pricing Certificate in respect of the most recently ended Fiscal Year, (i) the Applicable Rate Percentage shall be increased or decreased (or neither increased nor decreased), as applicable, pursuant to the Sustainability Rate Adjustment as set forth in such Pricing Certificate in the manner and at the times described in this Section 4.17 (but in no event shall any adjustment result in the Applicable Rate Percentage being less than 0.00%) and (ii) the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage shall be increased or decreased (or neither increased nor decreased), as applicable, pursuant to the Sustainability Fee Adjustment as set forth in such Pricing Certificate in the manner and at the times described in this Section 4.17 (but in no event shall any adjustment result in the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage being less than 0.00%). For purposes of the foregoing,

84

(A) the Sustainability Rate Adjustment and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment shall not be applicable for the relevant Fiscal Year unless (i) at least two of the three KPI Metrics are equal to or more than the applicable Sustainability Target set forth in the Sustainability Table and no KPI Metric is less than the applicable Sustainability Threshold set forth in the Sustainability Table or (ii) at least two of the three KPI Metrics are less than the applicable Sustainability Threshold set forth in the Sustainability Table and no KPI Metric is equal to or more than the applicable Sustainability Target set forth in the Sustainability Table, (B) each of the Sustainability Rate Adjustment and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment shall be effective as of the fifth (5^th) Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Pricing Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 4.17(i) based upon the KPI Metrics set forth in such Pricing Certificate and the calculations of the Sustainability Rate Adjustment and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment, as applicable, therein (such day, the “Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date”) and (C) each change in the Applicable Rate Percentage and the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage resulting from a Pricing Certificate and the Sustainability Rate Adjustment and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment related thereto shall be effective during the period commencing on and including the applicable Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date and ending on the date immediately preceding the next such Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date (or, in the case of non-delivery of a Pricing Certificate for the immediately following period, the last day such Pricing Certificate for such following period could have been delivered pursuant to the terms of Section 4.17(i)) (any such period, an “Applicable Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Period”).

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, only one Pricing Certificate may be delivered in respect of any Fiscal Year. It is further understood and agreed that any Sustainability Rate Adjustment or Sustainability Fee Adjustment made for any Applicable Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Period shall only be applicable for such Applicable Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Period and any increases or reductions to the Applicable Rate Percentage and Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage, respectively, resulting therefrom shall be reset to “zero” following the conclusion of such Applicable Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Period.

(c) It is hereby understood and agreed that if no such Pricing Certificate is delivered by the Company within the period set forth in Section 4.17(i), the Sustainability Rate Adjustment will be positive 0.05% and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment will be positive 0.01% (such positive rates, collectively, the “Threshold Adjustment”) commencing on the last day such Pricing Certificate could have been delivered pursuant to the terms of Section 4.17(i) and continuing until the Company delivers a Pricing Certificate to the Administrative Agent. In the event no Pricing Certificate is delivered for a Fiscal Year by JuneJuly 15th of such year, the Sustainability Rate Adjustment and Sustainability Fee Adjustment for such Fiscal Year shall be the Threshold Adjustment.

(d) If (i)(A) the Company or any Lender becomes aware of any material inaccuracy in the Sustainability Rate Adjustment, the Sustainability Fee Adjustment, or the KPI Metrics as reported in a Pricing Certificate (any such material inaccuracy, a “Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy”), and in the case of any Lender, such Lender delivers, not later than ten (10) Business Days after obtaining knowledge thereof, a written notice to the Administrative Agent describing such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy in reasonable detail (which description shall be shared with each Lender and the Company), or (B) the Company and the Lenders agree that there was a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy at the time of delivery of a Pricing Certificate, and (ii) a proper calculation of the Sustainability Rate Adjustment, the Sustainability Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics would have resulted in an increase in the Applicable Rate Percentage and the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage for any period, the Company shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuers, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code (or any comparable event under non-U.S. debtor relief laws), automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer), but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the Company has received written

85

notice of, or has agreed in writing that there was a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy, an amount equal to the excess of (1) the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over (2) the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. If the Company becomes aware of any Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy and, in connection therewith, if a proper calculation of the Sustainability Rate Adjustment, the Sustainability Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics would have resulted in a decrease in the Applicable Rate Percentage and the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage for any period, then, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of notice from the Company of such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy (which notice shall include corrections to the calculations of the Sustainability Rate Adjustment, the Sustainability Fee Adjustment, or the KPI Metrics, as applicable), commencing on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, the Applicable Rate Percentage and the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage shall be adjusted to reflect the corrected calculations of the Sustainability Rate Adjustment, the Sustainability Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, any information in a Pricing Certificate shall be deemed to be not materially inaccurate (and no Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy shall be deemed to have occurred in respect thereof), and any calculation of the Sustainability Rate Adjustment, the Sustainability Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics shall be deemed proper, and in each case shall not implicate this Section 4.17(d), if such information or calculation was made by the Company in good faith based on information reasonably available to the Company at the time such calculation was made.

(e) It is understood and agreed that any Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy (and any consequences thereof) shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default; provided, that, the Company complies with the terms of the foregoing Section 4.17(d) with respect to such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless such amounts shall be due upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to a Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code (or any comparable event under non-U.S. debtor relief laws), (i) any additional amounts required to be paid pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall not be due and payable until the date that is ten (10) Business Days after a written demand is made for such payment by the Administrative Agent in accordance with such paragraph, (ii) any nonpayment of such additional amounts prior to or upon the date that is ten (10) Business Days after such written demand for payment by the Administrative Agent shall not constitute a Default (whether retroactively or otherwise) and (iii) none of such additional amounts shall be deemed overdue prior to such date that is ten (10) Business Days after such written demand or shall accrue interest at the default rate prior to such date that is ten (10) Business Days after such written demand.

(f) Each party hereto hereby agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Sustainability Structuring Agent shall have any (i) responsibility for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by the Company of any Sustainability Fee Adjustment or any Sustainability Rate Adjustment (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in any Pricing Certificate or (ii) right to review, audit or otherwise evaluate any calculation by the Company of any Sustainability Fee Adjustment or any Sustainability Rate Adjustment (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in any Pricing Certificate. The Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such Pricing Certificate, without further inquiry. In addition, the Company shall have no obligation to disclose any further data, computations or other information to the Administrative Agent, any Sustainability Structuring Agent or any Lender with respect to any KPI Metric, Sustainability Target or Sustainability Threshold.

(g) To the extent any event occurs (which would include, without limitation, a material disposition or material acquisition) which, in the opinion of the Company and the Sustainability Structuring Agents, acting reasonably, means that one or more of the Sustainability Targets or Sustainability Thresholds set forth in the Sustainability Table is no longer applicable given changes in the Company’s structure, then the Company and the Sustainability Structuring Agents will report to the Lenders that such Sustainability Targets and Sustainability Thresholds will no longer apply. In such a scenario, the Company will then cease to refer to the applicable KPI Metrics, Sustainability Targets and Sustainability ThresholdersThresholds in the Pricing Certificate for such period.

86

(h) To the extent a Sustainability Structuring Agent ceases to be a Lender, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to appoint another Person that is a Lender to fulfill the role such Sustainability Structuring Agent.

(i) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the Administrative Agent a Pricing Certificate for the most recently ended Fiscal Year (commencing with delivery in 2022 for the Fiscal Year ended in 2021) within thirty (30) days of the release of the annual SASB Aligned Report (but in no event earlier than April 1^st of any Fiscal Year); provided that, unless the Company elects not to deliver a Pricing Certificate for such Fiscal Year, such Pricing Certificate shall be delivered no later than JuneJuly 15th of any Fiscal Year. Any such election shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default hereunder, but shall subject the Company to the Threshold Adjustment described in Section 4.17(c) above.

SECTION 12.10. Erroneous Payments.

(a) Each Lender, each Issuing Lender, each other Guaranteed Party and any other party hereto hereby severally agrees that if (i) the Administrative Agent notifies (which such notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error) such Lender or Issuing Lender or any other Guaranteed Party (or the Lender Affiliate of a Guaranteed Party) or any other Person that has received funds from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, either for its own account or on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Lender or other Guaranteed Party (each such recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) or (ii) any Payment Recipient receives any 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, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted or received in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then, in each case, an error in payment shall be presumed to have been made (any such amounts specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 12.10(a), whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”), then, in each case, such Payment Recipient is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of its receipt of such Erroneous Payment; provided that nothing in this Section shall require the Administrative Agent to provide any of the notices specified in clauses (i) or (ii) above. Each Payment Recipient agrees that it shall not assert any right or claim to any Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives 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 Erroneous Payments, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(b) Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient agrees that, in the case of clause (a)(ii) above, it shall promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge (or deemed knowledge) of such error) notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such occurrence.

111

(c) In the case of either clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and upon demand from the Administrative Agent such Payment Recipient shall (or, shall cause any Person who received any portion of an Erroneous Payment on its behalf to) promptly, but in all events no later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in Same Day Funds and in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the Overnight Rate.

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (c), from any Lender that is a Payment Recipient or an Affiliate of a Payment Recipient (such unrecovered amount as to such Lender, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), then at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and upon the Administrative Agent’s written notice to such Lender such Lender shall be deemed to have made a cashless assignment of the full face amount of the portion of its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Credit Facility with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) to the Administrative Agent or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s applicable lending affiliate in an amount that is equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such assigned amount, without further consent or approval of any party hereto and without any payment by the Administrative Agent or its applicable lending affiliate as the assignee of such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (1) any assignment contemplated in this clause (d) shall be made without any requirement for any payment or other consideration paid by the applicable assignee or received by the assignor, (2) the provisions of this clause (d) shall govern in the event of any conflict with the terms and conditions of Section 13.10 and (3) the Administrative Agent may reflect such assignments in the Register without further consent or action by any other Person.

(e) Each party hereto hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent (1) shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Payment Recipient with respect to such amount and (2) is authorized to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 12.10 or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, (y) the receipt of an Erroneous Payment by a Payment Recipient shall not for the purpose of this Agreement be treated as a payment, prepayment, repayment, discharge or other satisfaction of any Obligations owed by any Borrower, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from any Borrower for the purpose of making a payment on the Obligations and (z) to the extent that an Erroneous Payment (except to the extent such Erroneous Payment was, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that was, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries for the purpose of making a payment on the Obligations) was in any way or at any time credited as payment or satisfaction of any of the Obligations, the Obligations or any part thereof that were so credited, and all rights of the Payment Recipient, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment or satisfaction had never been received.

112

(f) Each party’s obligations under this Section 12.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of right or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

(g) Nothing in this Section 12.10 will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of the Administrative Agent hereunder arising from any Payment Recipient’s receipt of an Erroneous Payment.

113

Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by telecopier shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient).

The Administrative Agent or the Company may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, and except as otherwise permitted by Section 10.2, no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section, (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (f) of this Section or (iv) by way of a grant of a declaration of trust in favor of any funding vehicle of such Lender (a “Declaration of Trust” and a “Beneficiary” respectively) provided that (other than with respect to clause (i) above) in each case (1) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (2) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (3) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender (or its attorney in fact) in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section, Beneficiaries to the extent provided in this paragraph (a) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that

(i) except in the case of (x) an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment under a particular Credit Facility and the Loans at the time owing to it under such Credit Facility or (y) an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) under any Credit Facility or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender under any Credit Facility that, in either case, is 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 or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

121

(ii) 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 with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned;

(iii) any assignment must be approved (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) by (A) the Administrative Agent and (B) with respect to any assignment of the Revolving Credit Facility, each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Lender, in any such case unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender with a Commitment to the applicable Credit Facility or an Affiliate thereof (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and

(iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

Subject to the acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement 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 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13 and 13.3 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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 (d) of this Section.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in Charlotte, North Carolina (or such other office notified to the Lenders and the Company), 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 Commitments of, and principal amounts of (and interest on) the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender (but only to the extent of entries in the Register that are applicable to such Lender), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Swingline Lender or Issuing Lender sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement

122

(including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or 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 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; 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 or modification described in the first proviso to Section 13.2 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.11, 4.12 and 4.13 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.4.

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the applicable Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (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 any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.11, 4.12 and 4.13 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.13 unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 4.13(e) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 13.11. Confidentiality.

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any rating agency, or regulatory or similar authority (including any self-

123

regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document (or any Hedging Agreement with a Lender or the Administrative Agent) or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (or any Hedging Agreement with a Lender or the Administrative Agent) or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any purchasing Lender, proposed purchasing Lender, Participant or proposed Participant, pledgee or assignee or proposed pledgee or assignee or Beneficiary or proposed Beneficiary (and the administrative agents, trustees and advisors appointed in connection with the funding arrangement to which such Beneficiary is a party) or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to any Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (g) with the consent of the Company, (h) to Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications, (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Borrower, (j) to governmental regulatory authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s regulatory compliance policy if the Administrative Agent or such Lender deems necessary for the mitigation of claims by those authorities against the Administrative Agent or such Lender or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, (k) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Company or its Subsidiaries or the Credit Facility or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Credit Facility, (l) to the extent that such information is independently developed by such Person, (m) in connection with providing insurance coverage or providing reimbursement or (n) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Excluded Subsidiaries, the Existing Shareholders or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 13.12. Performance of Duties.

The Borrowers’ obligations under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall be performed by the Borrowers at their sole cost and expense.

SECTION 13.13. All Powers Coupled with Interest.

All powers of attorney and other authorizations granted to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and any Persons designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable so long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid or unsatisfied, any of the Commitments remain in effect or the Credit Facility has not been terminated.

124

SECTION 13.14. Survival of Indemnities.

Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, the indemnities to which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of this Article XIII and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against events arising after such termination as well as before.

SECTION 13.15. Titles and Captions.

Titles and captions of Articles, Sections and subsections in, and the table of contents of, this Agreement are for convenience only, and neither limit nor amplify the provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 13.16. Severability of Provisions.

Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 13.17. Counterparts; Electronic Execution.

(a) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and shall be binding upon all parties, their successors and assigns, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

(b) The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery” and words of like import in or related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any document, amendment, approval, consent, waiver, modification, information, notice, certificate, report, statement, disclosure, or authorization to be signed or delivered in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures or execution in the form of an Electronic Record, and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature 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 other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Each party hereto agrees that any Electronic Signature or execution in the form of an Electronic Record shall be valid and binding on itself and each of the other parties hereto to the same extent as a manual, original signature. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by the parties of a manually signed paper which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed paper converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature from any party hereto, the Administrative Agent and the other parties hereto shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the executing party without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by an original manually executed counterpart thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby (i) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and any of the Borrowers, electronic images of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (in each case, including with respect to any signature pages thereto) shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, and (ii) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents based solely on the lack of paper original copies of any Loan Documents, including with respect to any signature pages thereto.

125

SECTION 13.18. Integration.

This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

SECTION 13.19. Term of Agreement.

This Agreement shall remain in effect from the Closing Date through and including the date upon which all Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall have been indefeasibly and irrevocably paid and satisfied in full and all Commitments have been terminated. No termination of this Agreement shall affect the rights and obligations of the parties hereto arising prior to such termination or in respect of any provision of this Agreement which survives such termination.

SECTION 13.20. Advice of Counsel, No Strict Construction.

Each of the parties represents to each other party hereto that it has discussed this Agreement with its counsel. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.

The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes the name and address of such Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Act.

SECTION 13.22. Inconsistencies with Other Documents; Independent Effect of Covenants.

(a) In the event there is a conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of this Agreement shall control; provided that, other than for purposes of Article XI, any provision of the other Loan Documents which imposes additional burdens on any Borrower or its Subsidiaries or further restricts the rights of such Borrower or its Subsidiaries or gives the Administrative Agent or any Lender additional rights shall not be deemed to be in conflict or inconsistent with this Agreement and shall be given full force and effect.

126

(b) Each Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that each covenant contained in Article VIII, IX, or X hereof shall be given independent effect. Accordingly, no Borrower shall engage in any transaction or other act otherwise permitted under any covenant contained in Article VIII, IX, or X if, before or after giving effect to such transaction or act, such Borrower shall or would be in breach of any other covenant contained in Article VIII, IX, or X.

SECTION 13.23. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.

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

(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

(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 13.24. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.

(a) In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that (i) the facilities provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, and the Company is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof), (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, each of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Company or any of its Affiliates or any other Person, (iii) none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or the Lenders has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether any Arranger or Lender has advised or is currently advising the Company or any of its Affiliates on other matters) and none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or the Lenders has any obligation to the Company or any of its Affiliates with respect to the financing transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly

127

set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, (iv) the Arrangers and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from, and may conflict with, those of the Company and its Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship and (v) the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and the Borrowers have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate.

(b) Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each Lender, the Arrangers and any Affiliate thereof may lend money to, invest in, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any of the Company, each other Borrower, any Affiliate thereof or any other person or entity that may do business with or own securities of any of the foregoing, all as if such Lender, Arranger or Affiliate thereof were not a Lender or Arranger or an Affiliate thereof (or an agent or any other person with any similar role under the Credit Facilities) and without any duty to account therefor to any other Lender, the Arrangers, the Company, any other Borrower or any Affiliate of the foregoing. Each Lender, the Arrangers and any Affiliate thereof may accept fees and other consideration from the Company, any other Borrower or any Affiliate thereof for services in connection with this Agreement, the Credit Facilities or otherwise without having to account for the same to any other Lender, the Arrangers, the Company, any other Borrower or any Affiliate of the foregoing.

SECTION 13.25. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.

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

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

128

(b) As used in this Section 13.25, the following terms have the following meanings:

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

“Covered Entity” means any of the following:

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

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

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

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

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

ARTICLE XIV

CONTINUING GUARANTY

SECTION 14.1. Guaranty.

The Company hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, as a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of any and all of the Obligations, whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, damages, costs, expenses or otherwise, of the Designated Borrowers to the Guaranteed Parties, and whether arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Guaranteed Parties in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof) (such guaranty obligations collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of the Company under this Guaranty, and the Company hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing.

SECTION 14.2. Rights of Lenders.

The Company consents and agrees that the Guaranteed Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof, but subject to compliance with all other applicable requirements of this Agreement or any other Loan Document: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce,

129

waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this Guaranty or any Guaranteed Obligations; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders in their sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of the Company under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of the Company.

SECTION 14.3. Certain Waivers.

The Company waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any Borrower, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any Guaranteed Party) of the liability of any Borrower; (b) any defense based on any claim that the Company’s obligations under this Article XIV exceed or are more burdensome than those of any Borrower or all of the Borrowers; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Company’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to proceed against any Borrower or all of the Borrowers, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in the power of any Guaranteed Party whatsoever; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by any Guaranteed Party; and (f) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by Applicable Law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties. The Company expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 14.4. Obligations Independent.

The obligations of the Company hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against the Company to enforce this Guaranty whether or not any Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a party.

SECTION 14.5. Subrogation.

The Company shall not exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty have been paid in cash and performed in full and the Commitments are terminated. If any amounts are paid to the Company in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Guaranteed Parties to reduce the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

SECTION 14.6. Termination; Reinstatement.

This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Guaranty are paid in full in cash and the Commitments with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated.
