If, since the beginning of the applicable Test Period, any Person (that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, consolidated or amalgamated with or into the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of the applicable Test Period) shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.3, then the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving Pro Forma Effect thereto for such Test Period as if such Specified Transaction had occurred at the beginning of such Test Period.

(b) Whenever Pro Forma Effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower (and may include, without duplication, reasonably identifiable and factually supportable cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies resulting from such Specified Transaction which is being given Pro Forma Effect that have been or are expected to be realized (calculated on a pro forma basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies had been realized during the entirety of the applicable period)). If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given Pro Forma Effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account for such entire period, any Hedging Obligation applicable to such Indebtedness);provided that, in the case of repayment of any Indebtedness, to the extent actual interest related thereto was included during all or any portion of the applicable Test Period, the actual interest may be used for the applicable portion of such Test Period. Interest on a Capital Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capital Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a Pro Forma Basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period (or, if lower, the greater of (i) maximum commitments under such revolving credit facilities as of the date of determination and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding under such a revolving credit facilities on such date). Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower may designate.

In connection with any action being taken solely in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, for purposes of:

(ii) determining the accuracy of representations and warranties in Article IV, the permissibility of such Limited Condition Acquisition under Article VII and/or whether a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under Article VIII; or

(iii) testing availability under baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets);

in each case, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, an “LCA Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (the “LCA Test Date”), and if, after giving Pro Forma Effect to the Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ending prior to the LCA Test Date, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratio or basket, without any such representation or warrantee being inaccurate in all material respects (or, if required, in all respects) on the applicable date and without the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with, and any requirements to bring down any representations and warranties, to satisfy any covenant and/or for the absence of any Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have been complied with. If the Borrower has made an LCA Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCA Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Acquisition, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If the Borrower has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket availability with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, or the making of Restricted Payments, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the consolidated total assets of the Borrower, the prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other satisfaction of Indebtedness, or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

(d) Any determination of Consolidated Total Assets shall be made by reference to the last day of the Test Period most recently ended on or prior to the relevant date of determination.

(e) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all computations of Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio and other financial ratios and financial calculations (and all definitions (including accounting terms) used in determining any of the foregoing) and all computations and all definitions (including accounting terms) used in determining compliance with Section 7.1 shall be calculated, in each case, with respect to the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all leases of any Person that are or would have been characterized as operating leases in accordance with GAAP immediately prior to the Closing Date (whether or not such leases were in effect on such date) shall be accounted for as operating leases (and not as Capital Leases) for purposes of this Agreement regardless of any change in GAAP following the Closing Date that would otherwise require such leases to be recharacterized as Capital Leases, and any determination of whether a lease is a Capital Lease or an operating lease shall exclude the effect of the adoption of Accounting Standards UpdateNo. 2016-02 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“ASU2016-02”) or any related promulgation or accounting standards such that “Capital Leases” and “Capital Lease Obligations” shall specifically exclude liabilities that were considered operating lease liabilities under GAAP prior to the adoption of ASU2016-02 or any related promulgation or accounting standard, and all calculations and deliverables under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made or delivered, as applicable, without giving effect thereto, and, without limitation of the generality if the foregoing, all such leases shall be treated as operating leases for the purpose of calculating Consolidated EBITDA, the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio and any other financial definition or ratio in any Loan Document. All Capital Leases that were assumed by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary in connection with the Acquisition or any Permitted Acquisition or other Investment or were in existence at the time any Person became a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of the Acquisition or a Permitted Acquisition or other Investment (and not, in each case, incurred or created in contemplation of the Acquisition or Permitted Acquisition or other Investment) shall be treated as operating leases for the purpose of calculating Consolidated EBITDA, the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio and any other financial definition or ratio in any Loan Document and “Capital Leases” and “Capital Lease Obligations” shall specifically exclude liabilities thereunder.

(g) In the event that any Indebtedness, Lien, Restricted Payment, Investment or payment of junior or unsecured Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of permitted Indebtedness, Lien, Restricted Payment, Investment or debt payment described in Section 7.2, Section 7.3, Section 7.6, Section 7.8, or Section 7.9, respectively, at the time of incurrence, the Borrower will be entitled to divide and classify Indebtedness, Liens, Restricted Payments, Investments or debt payments, as the case may be, among the relevant categories of permitted Indebtedness, Lien, Restricted Payment, Investment or debt payment, as the case may be.

SECTION 1.4 Currencies.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, where the permissibility of a transaction or determinations of required actions or circumstances depend upon compliance with, or are determined by reference to, amounts stated in Dollars, any requisite currency translation shall be based on the rate of exchange between the applicable currency and Dollars (as quoted by the Administrative Agent or if the Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in such currency reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) in effect on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such transaction or determination and shall not be affected by subsequent fluctuations in exchange rates.

(b) The Borrower may from time to time request that Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other than Dollars, AUD, Euro or Sterling;provided that such requested currency is a lawful currency (other than Dollars, AUD, Euro or Sterling) that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars. Such request shall be subject to the approval of the applicable Issuing Lenders.

(c) Any such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender not later than 11:00 a.m., 10 days prior to the requested date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender, in their sole discretion). Each applicable Issuing Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., five days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency.

(d) Any failure by an Issuing Lender to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit in such requested currency. If the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender agree to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall amend this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as necessary to accommodate such Letters of Credit (as applicable). This Section 1.4 shall supersede anything to the contrary herein, including Section 10.1.

SECTION 1.5 Cashless Rollovers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, to the extent that any Lender extends the maturity date of, or replaces, renews or refinances, any of its then-existing Loans with any Incremental Facility, Loans under incurred pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment and/or loans incurred under a new credit facility, in each case, to the extent such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing is effected by means of a “cashless roll” by such Lender, such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing shall be deemed to comply with any requirement hereunder or any other Loan Document that such payment be made “in Dollars”, “in immediately available funds”, “in Cash” or any other similar requirement.

Any partial reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.

SECTION 2.11 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable (provided that any such notice may be conditioned on the occurrence of a transaction and, if such condition is not satisfied on or prior to the date of such prepayment, may be revoked by the Borrower in a written notice

to the Administrative Agent) notice delivered to the Administrative Agent (a) at least three Business Days prior thereto, in the case of LIBOR Loans denominated in Dollars, and (b) at least one Business Day prior thereto, in the case of ABR Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of LIBOR Loans or ABR Loans;provided, that if a LIBOR Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.21. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of Revolving Credit Loans that are ABR Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

(b) If on any date the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event then, in each case, in excess of $2,500,000 in any single transaction or series of related transactions, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied within five Business Days after such receipt toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.12(d);provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.12(d).

(d) To the extent that at any time the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and Letters of Credit shall exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, then the Borrower shall, within four Business Days, repay the Revolving Credit Loans to eliminate such excess.

(e) Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments of Term Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be applied to remaining installments of the Term Loans as directed by the Borrower, or in the absence of such direction in the inverse order of maturity. Each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.12, to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary, the Net Cash Proceeds of any Recovery Event received by a Foreign Subsidiary attributable to a Foreign Subsidiary that is required to be applied to prepay Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12 (i) would be prohibited or delayed by any applicable local law (including, without limitation, as a result of laws or regulations relating to financial assistance, corporate benefit, restrictions on upstreaming of cash intragroup and fiduciary and statutory duties of directors of such Foreign Subsidiary) from being repatriated or passed on to or used for the benefit of the Borrower or any applicable Domestic Subsidiary or conflict with the fiduciary duties of such Foreign Subsidiary’s directors, or result in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material

risk of personal or criminal liability for any officer, director, employee, manager, member of management or consultant of such Foreign Subsidiary (including on account of financial assistance, corporate benefit, thin capitalization, capital maintenance or similar considerations) (provided that the Borrower shall take commercially reasonable actions available under local law to permit such repatriation) or (ii) repatriation of such amount to the Borrower or any Subsidiary would result in material adverse tax consequences as determined in good faith by the Borrower (including, without limitation, as a result of any withholding of cash or the upstreaming of cash) with respect to such amount, then in each case, the Borrower shall not be required to apply the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds so affected to prepay the Term Loans at the times provided in clause (b) of this Section 2.12 but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long as clause (i) or (ii) above is applicable, and once neither clause (i) nor clause (ii) above is applicable, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than five Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional Taxes payable or reasonably estimated to be payable as a result thereof) to the prepayment of the Term Loans to the extent required pursuant to this Section 2.12;provided that no such prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be required in the case of any such Net Cash Proceeds the repatriation of which the Borrower believes in good faith would result in material adverse tax consequences, if on or before the date on which such Net Cash Proceeds so retained would otherwise have been required under this Section 2.12(f) to be applied to reinvestments or prepayments pursuant to a Reinvestment Notice, the Borrower applies an amount equal to (x) the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds to such reinvestments or prepayments as if such Net Cash Proceeds had been received by the Borrower or a Domestic Subsidiary rather than such Foreign Subsidiary, minus (y) the amount of additional Taxes that would have been payable or reserved against if such Net Cash Proceeds had been repatriated (or, if less, the Net Cash Proceeds that would be calculated if received by such Foreign Subsidiary).

(g) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to this Section 2.12 concurrently with or prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender holding Term Loans of the contents of such prepayment notice and of such Lender’s pro rata share of the prepayment.

If a Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans. Any Declined Proceeds shall be returned to the Borrower (at the Borrower’s expense) to be retained by the Borrower.

SECTION 2.13 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert LIBOR Loans denominated in Dollars to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election;provided that any such conversion of LIBOR Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to LIBOR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor);provided that no ABR Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a LIBOR Loan (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has, or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have, determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(b) Any LIBOR Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower (on its own behalf) giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans; provided that no LIBOR Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility; andprovided,further, that if the Borrower (on its own behalf) shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically continued as LIBOR Loans with an Interest Period of one month. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

SECTION 2.14 Limitations on LIBOR Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions, continuations and optional prepayments of LIBOR Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the LIBOR Loans comprising each LIBOR Tranche shall be equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than 10 LIBOR Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

SECTION 2.15 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate determined applicable to such LIBOR Loan plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.15 plus 2% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to Revolving Credit Loans that are ABR Loans plus 2% and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any facility fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facilityplus 2% (in the case of overdue amounts in Dollars), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such nonpayment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date;provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.15 shall be payable from time to time on demand.

SECTION 2.16 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest, fees and commissions payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to ABR Loans for which the rate of interest is calculated on the basis of the

Prime Rate, interest shall be calculated on the basis of a365/366-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Adjusted LIBOR Rate. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.15(a) and the calculation of any Statutory Reserves.

SECTION 2.17 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan in Dollars:

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate or the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, as applicable, for such LIBOR Loan in such currency for such Interest Period, or

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of a Facility that the LIBOR Rate or the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, as applicable, determined or to be determined with respect to such LIBOR Loan under such Facility in such currency for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their respective Loans during such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof (which may be by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (w) any LIBOR Loans in Dollars under such Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, after consultation with the Borrower and the applicable Lenders, to compensate the applicable Lenders for such Loan in such currency for the applicable period plus the Applicable Margin, (x) any Loans in Dollars under such Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to LIBOR Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (y) any outstanding LIBOR Loans in Dollars under such Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans, after consultation with the Borrower and the applicable Lenders, to compensate the applicable Lenders for such Loan in such currency for the applicable period plus the Applicable Margin. The Administrative Agent shall withdraw such notice as soon as adequate and reasonable means exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate or the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, as applicable. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further LIBOR Loans under such Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans to LIBOR Loans under such Facility.

SECTION 2.18 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Tranche A Term Loan Percentages, Incremental Term Loan Percentages or Revolving Credit Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders.

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Loan Lenders. The amount of each principal prepayment of the Term Loans shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of the Tranche A Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans, as the case may be, pro rata based upon the respective then remaining principal amounts thereof. Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(c) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on any Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Revolving Credit Loans then held by the Revolving Credit Lenders.

(d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, Local Time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the applicable Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the LIBOR Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a LIBOR Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.18(e) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower, and, if so recovered, such amount shall no longer be deemed outstanding hereunder.

(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment being made hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days of such required date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

(g) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.18(e), 2.18(f), 2.20(g), 2.20(h) 3.4(a) or 9.7, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as Cash Collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

SECTION 2.19 Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than(A) Non-Excluded Taxes in respect of payments under any Loan Document, (B) Other Taxes, (C) Connection Income Taxes and (D) Taxes in respect of payments under any Loan Document for which a Loan Party is not responsible for the payment of additional amounts under Section 2.20(a)) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining LIBOR Loans (or in the case of (i), any Loans) or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay (or shall cause the Borrower to pay) such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable;provided that in the event of the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority described in Section 2.19(a)(i), the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor, andprovidedfurther that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then suchsix-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.19, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled (and any related calculations).

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive

regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations to lend hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay (or shall cause the Borrower to pay) to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; andprovidedfurther that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then suchsix-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in Requirements of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be entitled to seek compensation for costs imposed pursuant to matters set forth in this clause (c) (x) unless it is generally seeking compensation for such costs from similarly situated borrowers under yield protection provisions in credit agreements with the Borrowers that provide for such compensation and (y) in the case of a Change in Law, such Change in Law occurred after the date on which such Person became a Lender hereunder.

(d) If payment in respect of any Revolving Extension of Credit shall be due in a currency other than Dollars and/or at a place of payment other than New York and if, by reason of any change in a Requirement of Law subsequent to the Closing Date, disruption of currency or foreign exchange markets, war or civil disturbance or similar event, payment of such Obligations in such currency or such place of payment shall be impossible, then, at the election of any affected Lender, the Borrower shall make payment of such Revolving Extension of Credit in Dollars and/or in New York, and shall indemnify such Lender against any currency exchange losses or reasonableout-of-pocket expenses that it shall sustain as a result of such alternative payment.

(e) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.19 submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall contain reasonable supporting calculations and an explanation in connection therewith and shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder, except to the extent provided for in Section 2.19(b).

SECTION 2.20 Taxes. (a) All payments made by or on behalf of any Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes, excluding (i) net income taxes, branch profits taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on a Recipient (x) as a result of such Recipient being organized under the laws of, or having its principal office, or, in the case of any Lender, its applicable lending office located in the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (or any political subdivision thereof), or (y) that are Other Connection Taxes, (ii) in the case of a Lender, U.S. federal withholding

Taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of such Lender with respect to an applicable interest in a Loan, Letter of Credit or Commitment pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which (x) such Lender acquires such interest in the Loan, Letter of Credit or Commitment (other than pursuant to an assignment request by the Borrower under Section 2.24), or (y) such Lender changes its lending office, except in each case to the extent that, pursuant to this Section 2.20, amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable either to such Lender’s assignor immediately before such Lender acquired the applicable interest in a Loan, Letter of Credit or Commitment or to such Lender immediately before it changed its lending office, (iii) Taxes attributable to such Administrative Agent or Lender’s failure to comply with Section 2.20(d), and (iv) withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA (all Taxes other than those described in preceding clauses (i) through (iv), collectively or individually, “Non-Excluded Taxes”);provided that, if any Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as determined in good faith by the applicable withholding agent, (x) such amounts shall be deducted or withheld and shall be paid to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and (y) if such Tax is aNon-Excluded Tax, the amounts so payable by the applicable Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary so that, after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.20), the amounts received with respect to this Agreement equal the sum which would have been received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) In addition, and without duplication of other amounts payable by the Borrower under this Section 2.20, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.

(c) Whenever anyNon-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. If anyNon-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are imposed directly upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender (includingNon-Excluded Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section), the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for such amounts and any incremental Taxes that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such direct imposition within 10 days of written demand therefor specifying in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such amounts.

(d) Each Lender that is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) FormW-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal withholding tax. Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) (i) two copies of properly completed and duly executed IRS FormW-8BEN, FormW-8BEN-E, FormW-8ECI or FormW-8IMY, as applicable, (together with any applicable underlying IRS forms and appropriate attachments), on which suchNon-U.S. Lender shall claim any exemption from or reduction of U.S. federal withholding tax for which suchNon-U.S. Lender is eligible, (ii) in the case of aNon-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit F and the applicable IRS FormW-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by suchNon-U.S. Lender, or (iii) any other form

prescribed by the applicable requirements of U.S. federal income tax law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable requirements of law to permit the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made or to satisfy any information reporting requirements. Such forms shall be delivered by eachNon-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. In addition, eachNon-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly on or before the inaccuracy, obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by suchNon-U.S. Lender. EachNon-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.20, aNon-U.S. Lender, upon prompt written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.20 that suchNon-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver. Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.20(d).

(e) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction ofnon-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate;provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

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

(g) Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for the full amount of any Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority that are attributable to such Lender (but, in the case ofNon-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which the Borrower is responsible pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.20, only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for suchNon-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) and that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, together with all interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, as determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith. 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.

(h) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.20 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.20 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of allout-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.20(h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.20(h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.20(h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable netafter-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 Section 2.20(h) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.20 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

SECTION 2.21 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense (in each case as reasonably determined by such Lender) that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (except as a result of a notice by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.17), (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from LIBOR Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (c) the making of a prepayment of LIBOR Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default) or (d) the assignment of a LIBOR Loan on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.24. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such indemnification shall include the costs and expenses of each Lender that are attributable to the premature unwinding of any Hedging Agreement entered into by such Lender in respect of the foreign currency exposure attributable to such actual or proposed LIBOR Loan. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurocurrency market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.21 submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 2.22 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make LIBOR Loans, continue LIBOR Loans as such and convert ABR Loans to LIBOR Loans shall forthwith be cancelled and (b) each of such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as a LIBOR Loan, if any, shall if denominated in Dollars, be converted automatically to an ABR Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect to such Loan or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion or repayment of a LIBOR Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.21.

SECTION 2.23 Mitigation. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.19 or 2.20 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to mitigate or reduce the additional amounts payable (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue), which reasonable efforts may include designating another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event, assigning such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, or any other measures reasonably requested by the Borrower;provided that such designation is, assignment or other measures are;provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, andprovided,further, that nothing in this Section 2.23 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20.

SECTION 2.24 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender which (a) requests payment of or reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20, (b) becomes a Defaulting Lender or (c) does not consent to any proposed amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that requires the consent of each of the Lenders or each of the Lenders affected thereby (so long as the consent of the Required Lenders has been obtained), with a replacement financial institution;provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.23 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20, (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and pay all other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.21 if any LIBOR Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) the Borrower or the replacement financial institution shall pay all amounts (if any) due pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20, as the case may be, incurred prior to the date Borrower exercises its rights under this Section 2.24, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights which the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee, and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective.

SECTION 2.27 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.9(a);

(b) the Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Extensions of Credit of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.1);provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby;

(i) all or any part L/C Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among thenon-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Percentages but only to the extent the sum of allnon-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Extensions of Credit plus such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure does not exceed the total of allnon-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent Cash Collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lender only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article VIII for so long as such L/C Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrower Cash Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.3(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is Cash Collateralized;

(iv) if the L/C Exposure of thenon-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 3.3(a) shall be adjusted in accordance with suchnon-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Percentages; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is neither reallocated nor Cash Collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all fees payable under Section 3.3(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Lender until and to the extent that such L/C Exposure is reallocated and/or Cash Collateralized; and

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding L/C Exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of thenon-Defaulting Lenders, and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated amongnon-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.27(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Issuing Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then L/C Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Revolving Credit Percentage.

SECTION 2.28 Incremental Facilities. (a) The Borrower and any one or more Lenders (including New Lenders) may from time to time agree that such Lenders shall make, obtain or increase the amount of their Incremental Term Loans (an “Incremental Term Loan Facility”) or Revolving Credit Commitments (“Increased Revolving Credit Commitments”; together with any Incremental Term Loan Facility, the “Incremental Facilities”), as applicable, by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent an Increased Facility Activation Notice specifying (i) the amount of such increase, (ii) the applicable Increased Facility Closing Date, (iii) in the case of Incremental Term Loans, (x) the applicable Incremental Term Maturity Date, (y) the amortization schedule for such Incremental Term Loans, and (z) the Applicable Margin for such Incremental Term Loans;provided that (i) subject to the Borrower’s right to make an LCA Election with respect to any Limited Condition Acquisition, in which case, Section 1.3(b) shall apply, no Default or Event of Default exists or would exist after giving effect to such Incremental Facility and the incurrence of any Loans thereunder on the applicable Increased Facility Closing Date, (ii) the maturity date and Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any such Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be no earlier than (or the same as) the maturity date and Weighted Average Life to Maturity, respectively, of the Tranche A Term Loans, (iii) the interest rates and amortization schedule applicable to any Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders thereunder, (iv) subject to the Borrower’s right to make an LCA Election with respect to any Limited Condition Acquisition, in which case, Section 1.3(b) shall apply, the Borrower shall be in Pro Forma Compliance with the Financial Covenants (such calculation to be made (I) assuming in the case of any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, that the full amount thereof is to be drawn and (II) any proceeds of any Incremental Facility shall be disregarded in any netting calculations in determination of such Financial Covenants) and (v) any Increased Revolving Credit Commitments shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility (including the maturity date in respect thereof) and any Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation agreed to between the Borrower and the Person providing such Incremental Term Loan Facility;provided

that, (1) to the extent such terms are not consistent with, in the case of an Incremental Term Loan Facility, the Tranche A Term Loan Facility (except to the extent permitted by clause (ii) and (iii) above), shall not be materially more restrictive to Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, when taken as a whole, than those under the Tranche A Term Loan Facility (except if (x) such covenants or other provisions are applicable only to periods after the latest final maturity date of the Tranche A Term Loan Facility, (y) the existing Lenders under the Tranche A Term Loan Facility receive the benefit of such terms or (z) such terms are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or are, in the reasonable judgment of the Borrower, generally customary for similarly situated borrowers in the current market conditions) and (2) to the extent such documentation is not consistent with the documentation in respect of the Tranche A Term Loan Facility, it shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) without the consent of the Required Lenders, the aggregate amount of Incremental Term Loans and Increased Revolving Credit Commitments obtained after the Closing Date pursuant to this paragraph shall not exceed the Incremental Facilities Amount and (ii) without the consent of the Administrative Agent, each increase effected pursuant to this paragraph shall be in a minimum amount of at least $15,000,000 (or such lesser amount of the Incremental Facilities Amount then unused). No Lender shall have any obligation to participate in any increase described in this paragraph unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion.

(b) Any Lender and any additional bank, financial institution or other entity that, with the consent of the Borrower and, to the extent such consent would be required for an assignment to such Person pursuant to Section 10.6, the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), elects to become a “Lender” under this Agreement in connection with any transaction described in Section 2.28(a) shall execute an Incremental Lender Supplement (each, an “Incremental Lender Supplement”), substantially in the form of Exhibit H, whereupon such bank, financial institution or other entity (a “New Lender”) shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.

(c) Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, on each Increased Facility Closing Date with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, the Borrower shall borrow Revolving Credit Loans under the relevant increased Revolving Credit Commitments from each Lender participating in the relevant increase in an amount determined by reference to the amount of each Type of Revolving Credit Loan (and, in the case of LIBOR Loans, of each LIBOR Tranche) which would then have been outstanding from such Lender if (i) each such Type or LIBOR Tranche had been borrowed or effected on such Increased Facility Closing Date and (ii) the aggregate amount of each such Type or LIBOR Tranche requested to be so borrowed or effected had been proportionately increased;provided that (i) in lieu of borrowings and repayments of Revolving Credit Loans, the Administrative Agent shall make sure notations on the Register as it reasonably determines are necessary to ensure that the Revolving Credit Loans are held on a pro rata basis after giving effect to such Increased Facility, and (ii) each Lender (including any New Lender) hereby agrees to waive any amount that would otherwise be payable in connection therewith pursuant to Section 2.21. The LIBOR Rate applicable to any LIBOR Loan borrowed pursuant to the preceding sentence shall equal the LIBOR Rate then applicable to the LIBOR Loans of the other Revolving Credit Lenders in the same LIBOR Tranche (or, until the expiration of the then-current Interest Period, such other rate as shall be agreed upon between the Borrower and the relevant Revolving Credit Lender).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, on each Increased Facility Closing Date, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loans evidenced thereby. Any such deemed amendment may be effected in writing by the Administrative Agent with the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto.

SECTION 3.1 L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender;provided that the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars, AUD, Euro, Sterling or any other currency agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance unless consented to by the Issuing Lender and (y) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date;provided that any Letter of Credit with aone-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additionalone-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above unless the Borrower agree to Cash Collateralize or backstop or provide other credit support for such Letter of Credit prior to the Letter of Credit Expiration Date in a manner reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Lender).

(b) Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible to the Borrower for, and the Issuing Lender’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of the Issuing Lender required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the applicable law or any order of a jurisdiction where the Issuing Lender or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the International Chamber of Commerce Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade—International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.

(c) The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.

SECTION 3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower (on its own behalf) may from time to time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Upon receipt of any Application, the Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall 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 Business Days after its receipt of the 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 to by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof. The Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).

SECTION 3.3 Commissions, Fees and Other Charges. (a) The Borrower will pay a commission on all undrawn and unpaid Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to LIBOR Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility, shared ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum on the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.

(b) In addition to the foregoing fees and commissions, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.

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 Credit Percentage in the Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under 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 Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed.

(b) If 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 is paid to the Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required 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. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility. A certificate of the Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 3.4 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(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 pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the Issuing Lender), 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 theBorrower. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Issuing Lender on each date on which the Issuing Lender provides written notice to the Borrower of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit and paid by the Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment;provided that if the Issuing Lender does not so notify the Borrower as provided for above earlier than 9:30 a.m., Local Time on the date such draft is paid (or on any subsequent date on which notice is provided) then such reimbursement payment may be made two Business Days immediately subsequent to the date such notice is given. Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein or as it may otherwise direct in lawful money of the United States, as the case maybe, and in immediately available funds. Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall constitute a request by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.5 of ABR Loans in the amount of such drawing, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth in Section 5.2. The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the date of such drawing. If any amounts under this Article III remain unpaid because the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, such amounts shall bear interest from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full at the rate set forth in Section 2.15(c).

SECTION 3.6 Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations 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 the 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 the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Lender shall not 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 found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender. The 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 and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower.

SECTION 3.7 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the 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 Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Article III, the provisions of this Article III shall apply.

SECTION 3.9 Cash Collateralization. If on any date the L/C Obligations shall exceed the L/C Commitment, then the Borrower shall within three Business Days after notice thereof from the Administrative Agent deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such excess plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

SECTION 3.10 Provisions Related to Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments. If the Letter of Credit Expiration Date in respect of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments occurs prior to the expiry date of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if consented to by the Issuing Lender which issued such Letter of Credit, if one or more other tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of which the Letter of Credit Expiration Date shall not have so occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit for which consent has been obtained shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Credit Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Sections 3.4 and 3.5) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of suchnon-terminating tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of the unutilized Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrower (x) shall Cash Collateralize all such Letters of Credit in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount with respect to such Letters of Credit (it being understood that such Cash Collateral shall be released to the extent that the aggregate stated amount of such Letters of Credit is reduced upon the expiration or termination of such Letters of Credit, so that the Cash Collateral shall not exceed the Minimum Collateral Amount with respect to such Letters of Credit outstanding at any particular time) or (y) deliver to the Issuing Lender a standby letter of credit (other than a Letter of Credit) in favor of such Issuing Lender in a stated amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount with respect to such Letters of Credit, which standby letter of credit shall be in form and substance, and issued by a financially sound financial institution, reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent. Upon the maturity date of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments, the L/C Commitment may be reduced as agreed between the Issuing Lender and the Borrower, without the consent of any other Person.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents orattorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneysin-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

SECTION 9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

SECTION 9.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice,

consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, facsimile, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

SECTION 9.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders);provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

SECTION 9.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

SECTION 9.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 9.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing;provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements which are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 9.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 9.8 Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though the Administrative Agent was not an Administrative Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

SECTION 9.9 Successor Administrative Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

SECTION 9.10 Authorization to Release Liens. The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to release any Lien covering any Property of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is the subject of a Disposition which is permitted by this Agreement, which has been consented to in accordance with Section 10.1 or in accordance with Section 10.17. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no Hedging Agreement or Cash

Management Agreement the obligations under which constitute Secured Hedging Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations, respectively, will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any such Hedging Agreement or Cash Management Agreement shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section.

SECTION 9.11 No Other Duties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the Arrangers, the Lead Arranger, or the syndication agent shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender hereunder.

Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 10.6, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to the limitations of, Sections 2.19, 2.20 and 2.21 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections (including Section 2.20(d)) applying to each Participant as if it were a Lender, and it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.20(d) shall be delivered to the participating Lender) and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.6, but to no greater extent than such Lender. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender, but to no greater extent than such Lender;provided that such Participant shall be subject to Section 10.7(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall 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 this Agreement (the “Participant Register”);provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in 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 underSection 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, and such Lender, each Loan Party and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(ii) A Participant (x) shall agree to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.23 and Section 2.24 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 10.6 and (y) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.19 or 2.20 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.20 unless such Participant complies with Section 2.20(d), (e), (f) and (h) as if it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.24 with respect to any Participant.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 10.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest;provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
